This is Everett's first year as club
member. He took advantage of the
junior club camp at London and at
tended every day. During this time
he won for himself n name as one Of
the best boys in camp. He never
refused to carry out orders given by
his camp officers.

fulness and all around preparedness a.

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 1920.
The first idea Of disease was got
ten by the savage man. He thought
disease came through evil spirits,
through voices in the air, and other
things Of like sort about him.
Later men thought disease was Q
punishment from God, and still latss
spontaneous combustion was thought
to be the cause Of disease. The idea
that the garbage can, the manure
pile, dirty streets, the ash can, etc,
was the breeding place of disease
germs, prevailed.
Science has now come 10 believe
that it is not possible for disease to
be carried or spread through these
agents, (although these things may
have some bearing on disease) but it
is only from man to man, or through
man that disease germs may be
carried.
Pasteur, the great French scientist,
in 1862 showed that disease could be
killed, and thus began the real study
of bacteria, which had begun as far
back as Jenner.
We inherit a certain amount of con
tempt for our bodies, which came
down to us from the early Christian
period. Now we are coming TO have
a new conception Of the value Of the
body. This conception has been
brought to us through the progress
Of the world. Such organizations as
the Y. NJ c. A. and Y W. c. A
have done much to bring up the Stand.

Nature plays n great part in the
curbing Of diseases Many times we
attempt TO cure headache, n cough

We think no farther than 20 immedi-

but the sneeze is merely natures

Nature has provided us with safe

encc, some diseases having been
nearly wiped out. Smallpox is al
most disease Of the past, breaking
out only in spots and where people
have not been vaccinatcd against IL.
Typhoid is not so common as il was
some years ago.
II has been found out that the mos
quito has been the cause Of yellow
fever, and everything is being done
TO exterminate this insect. All holes
and wet places are being filled up,
as il is in such places where the mos
quito breeds.
A few years ago one out of every
four died Of tuberculosis. Today one
out Of every ten dies. Looking at
these figures, we may dare to hope
that tuberculosis will in few years
hence be entirely wiped out.
As yet the cause Of cancer has not
been determined, nor what can stop
Il. This disease is more prevalent
among women than men. Only a
simple operation may be necessary,
II il is taken in time; but IL not taken
care Of at once, II may mean a severe
operation and often death.
One may be carrier of disease
germs. as in the case Of Typhoid
Mary Maloy," who, although not
having had typhoid, gave il to many.
Her large intestine was found TO be
full Of typhoid germs
Science now says disease germs can
not live in books, dishes and the sick
room for any length Of time. There
is no evidence that these things carry
germs. They cannot live out Of their
environmcnt-thc living body-with-
out very soon dying. In this con-
nection DIR. Holmes thinks fumiga-

as they can be remedied and the
cause Of disease stopped
To prevent disease we must get our
bodies into a healthy condition. This
does not always keep one from catch
ing a disease. but IL the laws 81
health are obeyed, and we KEEP
AWAY from the sick, or observe the
laws Of care, there is not much dan
ger Of contracting disease.
Among certain classes Of people
such diseases as trachoma, hook
worm, etc, are common. They do
not realize that health is a right, and
can be obtained.
Statistics show that SO percent Of
population has infection from gonor-
rhca. A large percent Of boys have

much concerned. In order TO wipe out
these diseases. we must have vigor.
and living must become joy. We
have n task before us of finding out
the simple rules Of health, then carry
ing out the simple rules. A healthy
body demands contentment and hap
piness, and 10 be contented and
happy, one must be healthy.

people who say they are inspired to
do Gods calling and are ready to do
what He says do, but if you will
notice nine hundred and ninety-nine
out of every thousand such people
find such work in towns and cities.
Is it because thecountry communi-
ties don't need help? Is it because
God only calls to towns and cities ?
Is it because these workers are de-
spised and not wanted in the rural
sections? Is it because they can't
make money and God only calls to
money positions? These and others
questions come to me as ! sit around

will state it this way, why can't
our country schools be made better
for our boys and girls? Why can't
our country churches be made better
for our country boys and girls ?
Why can't we as country boys and
girls have the chance in these many
ways being suggested by our visit
ing friends and town and city work
ers? Why don't some of our active
Christian, moral workers work in the
country, over the hill and through
the mud, building up a sentiment,
moulding character and bringing
about a better community spirit?
