GLOOM is CATCHING

EVEN though we are reasonably
- sure that the sun is still in the
sky, cloudy day depresses US. Most
OF us suffer from feeling of forebod-
ing even on clear day, when cloud
comes between us and the distant fire
that lights and warns the world
We are similarly sensitive to all the
little troubles of our hves-to ANYTHING
that disturbs our regularly ordered ex-
istence.
A temporary illness-a suspicion that
there are some kind Of business break
ers ahead-these things plunge us in
to gloom.
AND we, in our turn, pass the gloom
along. For our friends seeing the
black and foreboding faces that we
wear, grow gloomy, too.
One sullen-faced man in an Office
will sometimes spoil the day for the
entire working force.
One croaker on board a shin in q
storm may send the whole passenger
list into something very like panic,
Nobody loves gloomy man, but ev.
erybody listens to him, and looks at
him.
The prophet Of evil is never without
an audience.

"Nevermore'' was able to- drive q luck-

Continual gloom is not good for the
soul, any more than continual shadow
would be good for the green and BIOS
soming things upon the surface of the
earth.
We all need sunshine, and great
deal Of it.
1t is not necessary to go about con.
tinually telling people how happy we
are, like Pollyanna, but we can at
least keep our troubles to ourself, and
not look as if we were limping along
toward the grave or the gallows.
The gloomy man or woman in q
home destroys the happiness of an en-

there is air and sunshine. and maybe

1t is curious thing that childish
diseases @those ailments to which
children seem most prone-are usual
ly very serious matters when an adult
suffers from them. One reason for
this is that those children who escape
are usually those whose defensive
armor, as it we're, is too strong for
the disease. AS these children grow
up the power of resistance grows still
stronger. 1t naturally follows, then,
that the only attack Of infection
which is likely to be successful is I'M
usually severe. That is why the
grown up" who contracts, say,
measles, generally gets it badly. A
further explanation, of course, is that
the child, having a more sensitive ner-
vous system, complains sooner, and
being watched and disciplined, is
treated at an early stage of the dis
ease, whereas the adult, with his liv-
Ing to earn, too often neglects the
early symptoms.

Writing on the bane of idleness, the
medical correspondent of the London
Times points out that when work
man is laid up as consequence of
some form of physical injury it is de-
sirable that he return to duty as soon
after he received his hurt as possible,
or engage in some form of work which
the nature of his injury will permit
him to do, in order that his mind shall
not acquire the habit of idleness-in
other words, for effect upon his NOR
ale. When a worker suffers injury he
frequently disappears from his accus-
toned place in shop or factory during
prolonged period. He may be quite

THE DULUTH HERALD Erred
IN PRINTING SUCH SLUsH
AS APPEARED ON SUNDAY

A story published in last Sunday
Duluth Herald supposed to describe
Grand Marais was so different from
what it is that we wonder how he
got it into print. The editor must
have been hunting. 1t sounds like
a Jack London or Rex Beach de-
scription of some Alaska settlement
of some years ago.
Who is this man Mcmahon, the
author Of the article, that he should
think US so primitive?
This village is a center of refine
ment and culture-one of the old
est settlements in the State of Min
nesOta. We have an accredited high
school from which students enter the
Minnesota University without exam
nation.
We are pioneer road builders, and
have the best gravel-surfaced road
in the world which is kept open for
automobile travel twelve months in
the year. We have an automobile
club with one hundred members, all
affiliated with the state and nat,0na1
organizations. From ten to fifty cars
go from here to Duluth every day
in the winter and hundreds make the
trip every day during the season for
tourist travel.
There are seven privately-own
radio receiving sets, but none which
was purchased by popular subscrip-
ton. We are past masters in radio
as we had wireless station here
fifteen years ago and witnessed a
demonstration Of broadcasting music
by wireless from ship out of New
fork harbor ten years ago. Yes, it
is aWe-inspiring but the last Indian

places.
We are not isolated, as we get our
Duluth Herads every day in the
evening mail.
There are no Montenegrans, Ital
ians or or French here as the myth

readers think. We are Americans
some of scandinavian extraction, E
number born in Scandinavia but nat
uralized, a family Or two of French
descent, some more who are natur
allied Irish Canadians, an Englishmar

DIFFICULTIES OF RUSSIANS

That the uphill road toward rehabil-
1tation is much more difficult than
the easy descent into disorganization
is illustrated by complaints of the
Russian official in charge of repairing
rolling stock. Recently the works
which make parts and provide sup
plies have been placed upon a bust
ness basis, operating as private indus
tries. They now demand cash for
their wares. The distraught official,
without anything at his disposal ex-
cept the worthless product Of the
printing press, and representing a
government to which even these Rus
sian concerns will extend no credit,
sees his repair parts lying at the fac
tories and his cars on sidings waiting
for them. This is only the beginning
Of his troubles, however. In February
of this year railroad employees had
not yet received their pay for Novem-
Der, says The Nations Business.
Possibly the employees were too far
gone in hopelessness to bother much
about back pay; their wage for No
vember was fixed at 10000 rubles.
In the good old days such a wage
would have been a fortune of about
$4,000. In February, 1922, however
1t was equivalent exactly to eight
pounds Of rye bread.

Experience is nothing but a chain
OF mistakes. We go through life pay

In former generations have sought the

activity of life, culled from the COM
bined experiences of history's greatest
minds In our most populous states,
however,, books taken out from pub:
lie libraries average only two year

WHAT THANKSGIVING MEANS
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

This is Thanksgiving Day.
The American people have much to
be thankful for.
We have had bountiful crops. Pros
perity is returning. We are enter
ing an era of revived business a.tiv-
ity. The armies of the unemployed
have been mustered out. Public ex-
penditures are being reduced and war
burdens lifted. A better day is com
ing.
We have been kept out of. war.
European entanglements do not in
volve us. Europe may, if she will,
keep on fighting until the continent
is junk pile and bone yard, but
we are not subject to orders from
the League of Nations and may stay
out of quarrels, the result of Eurcpe's
age old hatreds, jealousies and rival
ries, with which we have nothing to
do. Americans are grieved beyond
expression by the situation in the
Far East, but art not sorry that the
proposed Armenian mandate is not at
this moment forcing American boys
, die in battle with the Turks in the
utterly hopeless task of composing
the differences in the Near East
which have for centuries kept that
part of the. world in bloody turmoil.
We are told that in our failure to
accept the role of the worlds police
man and banker we are failing in our
duty to humanity but Americans who
have not been inoculated with Euro
pean virus believe that we have spent
quite enough blood and treasure in
trying to tranquilize Europe only to
earn Europe's ungrateful hatred:
We live in a land where there is
less of war breeding hatred. more of
humane comradeship and content
ment, more of wealth and comfort,
more of privilege and opportunity
than any other has ever known. We
are citizens of representative re-

means lifelong habit for health or
indigestion with it's ills.
Freshsbread, hot breads and rich bis
cult should never be given. Always
serve bread stale enough to crumble
A good way to serve it is to cut in
small squares and brown in the oven.
For the child from the twelfth to
the eighteenth month, fruits such as
orange, pineapple, strained apple

is especially good, as they contain
valuable mineral salts, vitamines and
