Presbyterian Enlistment Campaign

The enlistment campaign of the
Presbyterian Church was inaug-
urated last Sabbath and promises
at its very inception to be a sue
cessful movement. The underlying
purpose of this program is to re-
gister the Presbyterian strength of
the city and TO enlist that strength
in definite work for the denomina-
ton. To that end the canvassers
secure the names of those who
are already members, those who
are affiliated and those who are
supporting the church This also
includes those who are identified
with no church and who are ready
to place their identity within this
body, those who belong to other
churches not represented by con-
gregation in the city.
The four pillars of any de-
nomination are the men, the wo-
men, the young people and the
children. Each pillar is equal in
value and Importance to the whole
and mutually dependent on one
another for the proper upholding
of the church body. The enlist
ment campaign is designed to
strengthen each of these parts by
enlistment of new members and
securing the greatest of active

The Anti-Saloon League is drunk
with its own power and is making
81 different kinds of damphool
of itself. Not content with get
ting rid of the saloon, for which
act they had the support OF
large number of the people who
saw in the saloon a menace, they
arrogate to themselves power to
regulate everyone and everything
from soup to nuts. Little did the
people expect that when they
helped the outfit get rid of the
saloon that federal agents would
be authorized to swagger into
homes or stop autos on the public
highway to search for booze or to
ransack kitchens for lemon extract
and vanilla, as programmed by the
Anti-Saloon League. When Con-
gress recently talked back to the
officers of the League, this hoEer-
than-thou outfit learned something
which if taken to heart will mean
that they had better let things
alone while the letting is good.
They have secured everything their
title stands for anyhow and now
what excuse have they for living.
A blind man can see through the
tactics. The meal ticket is at stake
if they cannot find something OF
other to regulate and reform.

Did you enjoy the orchestra last
Sabbath evening? You will want
to hear it again. Tell your friends

HEALTH BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN w. PARKER, M. d.,
Health Commissioner

Economic Interest : as a Motive
in Health Work taken from the
Nations Health.
The motive for public health
work during its early stages, down
nearly to the present, was the fear
of contagious disease. Health work
concerned itself with quarantine
pest houses, and vaccination to
prevent epidemics When health
work was first introduced into the
schools, the motive was primarily
protection against contagion. Health
workers sought out the signs of
contagious disease, vaccinated, and
quarantined. The introduction of
health work in industry had much
the same history. Physical ex-
animation and other health work
was largely to prevent the spread
of contagion. Institutional health
work was similarly inspired.
fear, perhaps, but to it has been
added another motive almost equal
ly strong-the motive of economic
interest. 1t has been found that
it is best to have healthy citizens,
students, and workers. The pro-
tective measures of a few wears
ago have been enlarged. The pub
lie is still actuated by fear of
epidemics, but it has also devel-
oped interest in strong children
growing into robust adults. Pre-
ventive and corrective measures,
other than for contagious diseas-
es, are assuming larger proportions
in public health work. The pro-
motion of physical we'll being and
personal efficiency is the basis of
a great deal of the modern plea
for health.
Likewise in the schools, health
work has enlarged its scope. There
is not less protective work but
more work for school efficiency.
We hear now of the money lost
to the community, through the re-
tardation of children on account
OF physical or mental defects. We
hear much of physical education as
builder of man power and a
promoter of efficiency.
In industry it may be said that
the economic motive has come to
dominate the whole work. Health
activity in industry is there be-
cause it pays. 1t pays to have
efficient workers. 1t pays to pre-
vent accidents and disease. It
pays to lessen the insurance cost
from accidents and the drain upon
mutual benefit societies on account
of sickness. The motive of in
dustrial efficiency is now upper
most in making physical examina-
tIons, In the provisions for indus
trial medicine, and in the work of
industrial nurses.
The combination of economic
and humanitarian motives with the
motive of self protection is the
secret of the vast progress which
health work is making in com
schools, industries, and
institutions.

There is nothing so far devised
in the nature of an evenings en-
tertainment. that approaches the
old fashioned spelling bee. Com
munity sings and community spell
ling bees are becoming all the
rage in some parts of the country
In our younger days this form of
amusement attracted the people of
different communities for miles
around and were source of much
pleasure, coupled with light
lunch and perhaps Virginia reel

rather tame to the younger gener-
alton of today but would be some

full as ever, and the morning
service wears a more healthful APP
pearance. The system is easy with
just little more planning on Sat

tesquely toward first base.
"Out," the umpire shouted and
the cheers rose from the long line
of wheel chairs and movable beds
occupied by the spectators.
What strange game.
The players and spectators are
all patients of the State Hospital
for Crippled Children, st. Paul,
and despite the fact that they are
inhabited from life as normal
children live they play the same
games.
Their laughter is just as merry,
their smiles are just as infectious,
and their play is just as hard but
it is with special rules.
But to the we'll and strong adult
who is privileged to enter into
their lives it is constant struggle
between desire to cry and to
laugh with them.
Ever since the hospital was. be-
gun there has been a, constantly
growing waiting list. A waiting
list composed of Minnesota's child
rem who, unless they receive the
curative care given free of charge
to the needy, will inevitably be-
come public charges or else GO
through life horribly and grew
somely contorted.
Michael Bowling, Olivia's banker
and newspaperman, who was froz-
en- so badly in his childhood that
he lost his feet and one of his
hands, and who died recently
knew the mental and physical tor
ture the crippled child is subjected
to.
His work in life was to anchor
ate the condition of these young
sters. 1t was he that said, "Child.
rem are Gods playmates. Dare we
neglect them?"
On his death group of his ad,
mirers in casting about for a suit
able memorial to his name and
works decided on the construction
of an addition to the State Hos
pital for Crippled Children, to be
known as the Michael Bowling hos
pital.
Arrangements have been made
to furnish the same medical at
tendance, the same nursing care
and the same mental and physica
education as ifs now being given
And the cost of this memorial
will be in the neighborhood OF
100000. Of this sum $4,000
has already been pledged by priv
ate subscription from the closest
business and professional friends
The remainder is to be gathered
by public subscription.
