LIFE OF THOMAS PAINE.
Rev. Vroomnn Describes Life Of Well
Known Atheist

Rev. w. A. Vrooman, in Unitarian
Church, yesterday morning, spoke OF the
life and works of Thomas Paine in his
second of series of lecture sermons on
Modern Truthseekers. The speaker
described the religious opinions that won
Tom Paine the popular reputation of
being a filthy atheist, and showed how
Paine. undor the sentence OF de ath in
France, had been shocked by tho irr religion
spreading among the French in reaction
against orthodoxy, and wrote TO recall
them from atheism TO believe in God,
by showing that all the universe proclaims
the story and goodness of God.
DrVrooman further stated that Paine
was devout theist with the ordinary
faults of the men of his period. Primarily
he was political reformer and not y
theologian or preacher. but lie believed
that Democracy should be founded on
faith in God and tho right devine author

IMPROVEMENT SHOWS.


Il is cause for qualification that NOT
withstanding the population was greater
in 1920 than in the four years ending with
1919, the loss of child life from academia
causes was one less than the four years
average in Wilmington and IL Is less than
the average for the entire State. Pre-
sented from n percentage standpoint, the
total Of deaths in l920in Wilmington were
but 07 per cent Of the four years average
and throughout the State, only 81 per cent.
If Population could be compared the
actual percentageas would figure still
lower.
OF the "a accidental deaths of children
occurring in Wilmington in 1920, l3 were
less than FIVE years of age and II were OF
school age. II is only natural that more
accidents should occur 20 children while

On Francis Heath, a graduate OF the
Wonaan's Medical college, Philadelphia
who has been SIX years In tho Orient, with
headquarters At Pekin, told tho members
OF tho MoCabs Memorial NJ. e. Church
last night how tho children of China
were baked to drive disease from their
bodies. Concotions made of hop-toads and
called heavenly chicken" were used by
the medicine men as curative agents.
DR.. Heath, who is home from China
on o two years furlough gave instances
OF how the missionaries had To contend
with the ignorance and superstition OF the
people. She urged Christians in America
TO contribute freely to the work Of moral

MANY CHILDREN
DIE BY ACCIDENT
Though Statistics Show an I'M
provement in Delaware
Last Year.

Probably no subject has greater np-
peal to public interest than accidents to
children resulting in their death. The
acci dental death of child seems to ex-
cite moro sympathy and regret than the
death of man prominent u the business
or public life of the community. Because
of the interest in the subject, the follow
inc report recently compiled and issued by
the Delaware State Board of Health Will
probably be eagerly read by all citizens
Of the State having accidental deaths of
children in city of Wilmington and State
of Delaware average for the four years
prior to 1920 and in 1920.

medicine and food in time of illness.
Ihere are many devices which will
occur to the mother and nurse to keep
a child entertained. Little surprises
concealed somewhere on the tray for
good child who eats, are an induce
ment-a transfer picture on the bot
tom OF glass which can only be seen
when the glass has been emptied of it's
contents. Each child's own tastes and
Individuality will give the nurse ideas
TO use in dealing with him.
Toast will often be refused pre-
pared in the ordinary way, but when
cut in fancy shapes with all sorts of
designs, even gr0wnups will eat with
greater relish.
"A nice way to keep food hot Is to
cover a tray with a tent made of
heavy paper; even small tents over sur
prise dishes will help in keeping inter-
est in food, at the same time keeping
it hot
All foods to be served to an invalid
supposed to be hot should arrive at
the time of serving hot. The same is
true of cold foods.
If the CRATE or stove must be replen-
lshed with coal, drop it in in a paper
bag or wrapped in a newspaper so that
1t may be placed noiselessly and with
out dust.
Chicken QueneIIes.-Take the breast
of a fowl, add pint of white sauce
and tablespoonful of butter. Pound
the meat until fine, pass through
sieve, mix with an egg. Add one-half
cupful of cream and stir well, form
into balls in tablespoon, place In a
well-buttered paper and cook in a hot
oven five minutes. Serve with toast.
All foods should be served either hot
oEscold, no luke warm things (Which
should be piping hot) should be coun-
tenanced. Hot food may be kept SO
over hot water and carefully wrapped.
All food should be ordered by the
physician in charge, as serious results
often occur when experiments are tried
by incompetent cooks.
These are the sins l fain
Would have thee take away;
Malice and cold disdain,
And discomfort that casts a shadow
gray
On all the brightness of a common day.
