WASHINGTON, Dew. IA. - Kids,

workshop was up in the neighborhood
of the North Pole.
Maybe so, but one of his shops is
on the outskirts of Washington at
st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
And all the workmen are men who
fought in the war and became wound
ed or shocked so badly that they can
do nothing but make toys. Their
minds were so affected by their war
experiences that they can't live among
other people.
The toy shop is operated by the

tn former crown prince OF Bavaria
The ex-crown prince is not satisfied
with the state of affairs in Germany.
But no one will blame him for that
as all his hopes have been frustrated
"Rupprecht showed courage in a
kings speech to ALL wherein he
maintained that he succeeded TO the
rights of his father thereby meaning
his claim to the Bavarian throne. OF
course, he has forgotten than twice in
three years he has renowned all his
rights as successor to the throne.
1T is the duty of all members OF the
government in state and nation 10
protest against Rupprecht's attempt
to incite the Bavarian people against
the other federal states. If today a
Bavarian pretender to the crown pre-
sumes to agitate against the funda-
mental basis of the nation, he is our
enemy, for it is well known in Bavaria
that the French policy aspires at the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Germany by at
tempting to separate Bavaria from
the nation"

You sit down.

Get "Overhauled'
Once a Year, Says
Long Life Expert
BY DR.. EUGENE LYMAN FISK
Medical Director of the Life Extension
Institute

by IN. z OSENE L MAN FISH
Medical Director of the Life Extension
Institute
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-One of the
strangest facts of pathology, and one
too little known to the layman is that
pain is a VIGOROUSLY fallible indica-
ton of disease. A pain in the region
of the heart rarely indicates heart
trouble; a pain in the joint of the
knee may indicate an abcess in the
jaw. Yet with the great majority of
the laity, pain is the only factor which
brings contact with physicians. This
is the first condition that must be
changed, if man is to live out his nat
ural life.
To list the serious ailments for
which pain gives no warning might be
needlessly alarming. Yet these all
ments, such as cancer in it's early
stages, high or low blood pressure,
Bright's disease, and the like, carry
off hundreds of thousands every ye-
to premature deaths. They are the
smoldering fires of the forest, evide.
| only when the forest is in flames-un-
less expert eyes are watching.
Watch Your Fires"
Our fire wardens in the forests of
the great northwest are now regarded
as Indispensable to our national
wealth. And in the vaster and richer
forests of human lives exists the same
need for vigorous and constant watch
| fulness There are little smoldering
/ fires in each life which are easily dis
coverable, and which can be stamped
f,,II IN
| prevent their doing further damage.
Public hygiene protects against dis
ease and death by periodic eramina-
! tions of streets, sewers, water supply,
! milk supply, and foods. Personal ny
! giene can protect the individual
against disease and death by periodic
examinations of the body.
Yearly Examination
The proper course is easy. Have
/ your body examined at least once a
/ year by physician who is in tune
with modern ideals in medicine. Have
your jaws X-rayed, your organs tested
your blood pressure taken and the
work of your kidneys tested for sugar
and albumin, and for their actual
efficiency.
/ Let the doctor make an annual in
/ ventory of your physical plant. Learn
the simple fundamental rules of exer
else and hygiene. Don't be afraid OF
the words ''calorie," protein AND
"vitamins," in relation to your body
any more than you are afraid of the
words magnetic" transmission,
and "carburetor" in relation to al
automobile.
Take your body to service sta
ton" occasionally, as a prudent mar
does his automobile, just to have il
looked over. For this is the roaC
which leads not only to long life bu
to longer period in which man car
experience the full and exuberan
health of youth.
Remember that there is no law o
mortality" Bear in mind that thu
length of mans life is largely in hi
own hands, and that the great extinc
company of the dinosaur and dodt
bird is waiting for the genus homo i
he fails to make good.
Your body and your race are OF

POMP AND DISPLAY AT FUNERAL
TERMED 'MONARCHISTIC HOPES

COBLENZ, Dec. 14.-The funeral of
the former king of Bavaria in Munich
was referred to as a monarchist dem
onstration by the Rhenish Rundschau,
a Democratic newspaper published in
Coblez. The article, headed The
hopes of the monarchists," says the
pomp and luxury displayed at the OBJ
sequies Of the late king surpassed all
arrangements of a similar affair even
during the best days of Germans mon
arches.
Recalling the pre-war sabre-rattling
days in Prussia, the writer asserts
that: "The pomp was less devoted to
the deceased king than to the de-
ceased idea of the kingdom. The mon
archists of the German states placed

common human sympathy for a dead
king within the service of their party
idea which aims at the restoration of
a monarchy in Germany.
AT a moment when millions of
Germans have not enough to eat, a
display of luxury was INDUCED in at
Munich which can hardly be describ-
ed. The entire management of the
obsequies was so brilliant that the of
ficial members of the Republican
Bavarian government were the DUN
mics at this monarchist demonstra-
ton.
Whoever was not aware of the
character of the entire demonstration
realized its mOnarchist tendencies by
the proclamation of Prince Rupprecht

them how to make Noahs arks and
little wooden animals to put in them.
That went well. Then we taught
them to make mechanical toys

Toys Given Away
Next came complicated mechani-
cal problems as representation of
fairy stories, showing the COW jump

the fiddle.
To-day these men are turning out
hand carved towel racks, taborets,
shoe shining boxes, breakfast tables,
phone tables, book racks and boudoir
racks. And we've had the shop mot
orized and provided with electrical ap
paratus.
Practically all the material used in
the shop has been supplied by Wash
ington merchants in the form of cigar
boxes, fruit boxes, cans and so on.
The finished toys are given out
right to orphanages and children
homes and poor children in private
homes, who otherwise couldn't have
toys. The Knights of Columbus will
sell none of the products of the shop
Between 10 and II men are employ
ed at the shop continually. More

Indian Point
Thrilled BY
Bear Tracks

Indian Point at Lake Mem
phremagog is still furnishing
thrills for Newport. And now
comes Il very thrilling tale OF
Il bear and cub which have
been seen OH the beach in the
vicinity of Horseneck Island.
The tracks are plainly visible
in the sand and have been
noticed on several different
occasions by hunters.
At Allandale Farm, in the
woods near shore, the tracks
were followed to hollow places
where they had made their
bed over night.
Our reporter did not ac-
tually see the bear, but did
see the man that talked with
man that saw the bear, and
we hope it does not turn out
to be one of N. T. SCOTS Hol-
stein calves and spoil the story.
