SAVE THE CHILDREN OF UTAH
FROM GRIP OF TUBER.
cULoSls

This years. Christmas Seal, accord
ing to james II. Wallis, Executive
Secretary of the Utah Public Health
association, is one Of the most beau
tifully symbolical that has ever been
designed for the message of good
cheer and good health.
Although the design OF the seal is
changed every year." said Mr.. Wallis
recently, "this years seal to my mind
IL particularly significant Of the work
in the field Of health to which funds
are devoted.
"The design is a mother carrying a
child silhuetted against the blue sky
and the snow covered Christmas Tree
bearing the double cross Of the Tuber-
culosis crusaders.
"Slnce the major part OF our finan-
ces are directed toward educating
children and mothers in the proven
ton of tuberculosis and so saving
the lives Of the country's little folks,
the seal seems particularly appropri-
ate.
ut is now known that most cases
of tuberculosis are contracted in
childhood because children are more
susceptible TO the inroads OF the dis
ease and because they are more care
less about what goes into their mouths.
Often the disease develops rapidly and
the child is crippled needlessly. For
with a little care in general good
health measures or by catching the
disease in Its earliest stages, the
child might be saved for happy and
useful life.
III the disease does not develop In
childhood, II often lies dormant until
the body is weakened by overwork,
illness or dissipation in later life and
then takes on an acute form which al
so might be eliminated were It pos.
sible to catch the disease early and
treat 1t promptly.
1T is the work of the Christmas
Seal to provide funds for making sur
Veys throughout the state that will
bring dormant or active cases to light
and educating the people in prompt
and proper treatment that win allie
viate further misery and restore the
health OF thousands of sufferers The
money for this work is entirely de-
pendent upon the sale of Christmas
Seals. That is why the work is 80
important at this season OF good Will
to men,"

his country abreast of western Eu-

served straight" In wooden spoons,

THE CONVERSION OF KAHN.

In his letter to congress on the sub
ject of the soldiers bonus, Secretary
Mellon took pains to refterate his
opposition to a sales tax. The only
ground for opposition mentioned by
the secretary was the cost of coHec-
ton. 1t seems impossible that the
cost of collection could nearly ap-
proach that incident to the existing
revenue law.
Otto H. Kahn, one of the most
thoughtfuI and best informed finan-
cicrs in the country, expressed a feel
ing of uncertainty regarding the sales
tax when it first was proposed Since
that time he has been fully converted
Speaking at the dinner of the Asso-
citation of Stock Exchange Firms Mr.
Kahn said:
Every recent test has shown that
the great majority of the business
men thruout the country-I do not
mean primarily big business, which
indeed has rather been hanging back,
but the rank and file-have become
converted to the sales tax and advo-
cate its adoption Personally, I have
70 doubt that if and when the people
have once become acquainted with its
simplicity, productivity and painless
ness it will be recognized as what it
is, an ideal means of raising revenue,
and Will become a permanent feature
of our fiscal system.
After much reflection on the pros
and cons of the different forms of
sales tax, I favor tax cat very low
rate) limited to commodities and ex-
empting initial sales of farm crops
and livestocks and further exempting
exceeding six thousand dollars. The
rate of the tax should not be above l
per cent; should, indeed, prefer one
half of 1 per cent, to begin with.

faith ana confidence of little boys in
this world.
And nations need such confidence,
too.
Better times are made by conf
dence. 1t is all very well to talk about
economic laws''-but how many such
laws are daily shattered by lack of
confidence!
A thing doesn't begin to take shape
and form until the man behind it puts
his belief to work.
mo Father, you told me not to be
afraid, so I wasn't"
There is one thing that am sure
of about God-and that is that He
never gets panicky. In the Bible the
historian saws that after He finished
making the world, He pronounced it
very good"
He who builds a great structure is
not bothered about minor defects that
afterwards appear. He knows exactly
what to do to remedy them. He has
confidence.
The poor man puts his life savings
in the bank because he has confidence
that they will be safe there
You who have builded your chac-
acter upon the rocks of faith and con-
fidence, are ready for the thickest and
blacklist storms.
Let us open our eyes each separate
morning--confident of a. good and
happy day.

THE WAR ON DISEASE.

The successful fight which is being
waged against tuberculosis in Topeka
apparently is finding its counterpart
turnout this country and Canada. In
period of eleven years, mortality
from tuberculosis has been cut almost
in half, says bulletin issued by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance com
pany, and adds: This in itself is an
unparalleled accomplishment in the
history of public health. But mora
amazing still is the fact that the DE-
cline is continuing at an increasing
rate from year to year. Nineteen
hundred twenty-one, despite the fact
that it was marked by business-tle-
preston unemployment and their
consequences, showed a greater de
cline in the tuberculosis death rate
than any year on record. We have no
better evidence of the effectiveness of
the public heakh movement for the
control of tuberculosis
That the year 1921 registered the
lowest death rate ever recorded in the
UnitAd States and Canada is clearly
indicated. says the bulletin, by the
very remarkable experience of the
nearly fourteen million industrial poll
icyholders of the company. This
group constitutes approximately one
eighth of the total population of the
two countries, and probably no less
than one-quarter of that in the cities.
The mortality of the insured, it is
pointed out, attained the low rate Of
s.54 per 600 lives. This is 1877 per
cent lower than the 1920 death rate
which, in turn. marked the minimum
recorded up to that time. It is 31.9
per cent lower than was the rate for
1911. Just what these figures mean
in actual saving of life is best shown
by the fact that if the 1920 death rate
had prevailed in 1921, 1861 more
perRns would have died; if the 1911
death rate had prevailed, 54,942 more
deaths would have occurred. In
greater degree even than can be said
of 1920, the year 1921. therefore,
marked an unparalleled advance in
the saving of human life.
The decline in the death rate in
1921 was accomplished largely. the
company's figures show. thru reduc-
tons in the death rates for tuberculo-
sis, pneumonia and influenza. Lower
mortality from Bright's disease, puer-
peral conditions. and accidents con
tributed to a~Iesser degree in bring
ing about the very favorable showing
in the public health record of the
year. The tuberculosis death rate o.
1921 was ISL per 100000. which is
16.5 per cent lower Nthan that for
1920 and ass per cent below the rate
for 1911.

OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE.

While Topeka has the honor of en-
PERTAINING many conventions and con-
ferences during the year, the Older
Boys. Conference now in session at
the First PRESBYTERIAN church is re-
garded as unique in two features.
First, that it is composed almost en-
tireIy of boys of high school age and
has been requested by the boys who
are members Of the Hi-Y clubs of To-
peka. Second, this conference is the
first OF nine such conferences that
will be conducted by the state Y. M.
c. a. in several parts of Kansas.
1t is considered significant when
high school boys are taking time to
think out under adult leadership the
possibilities of the future years. Such
a movement is worthy of the notice
and loyal support of the adult popu-
lation of the city.
Kansas, it is pointed out, has fur
nished within the last few years Sher-

for the Y. NJ. C. A. in China and

Dorothy Dix Tails
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds HighesS Paid Woman Wrftar,
The Final Price-2.

The same thing may be said of
motherhood. Women fail as mothers
because they think that somehow they
can raise their children on the bar
gain counter plan.
Heaven knows motherhood is
costly enough thing at best, For her
children every woman pays in the SUI
preme agony of body, in endless anx-
iety, and sacrifice. She cannot escape
that, and having paid so much, one
would think that she would go on and
pany her final installment on the su-
perlative motherhood that would in
sure her boys and girls turning out to
be the sort of men and women that
are an honor to their parents, and
blessing to the community.
Unfortunately, all too many women
balk at this last settlement. They
WEIGH on the final payment These
are the mothers who let their children
run the streets while they are gadding
about to luncheonS, and bridges, and
matinees. These are the mothers who
are so occupied with amusing them
selves that they do not know how their
children are diverting themselves.
These are the mothers who follow the
line of least resistance, and give in to
their children because they have not
the nerve and courage to stand up and
fight self-wifled, shalf-grown boys and
girls
The finap-price of motherhood is a
staggering one, but only the women
who pay it do their duty by their chill
dren, and reap the reward.
Whether a marriage turns out well
or i'll, whether it ends in the divorce
courts, or home that is a heaven
on earth, depends absolutely on wheth-
err a man and woman are willing to
pay the final price of matrimony.
Every one who marries must pay
something. They can't get out of that.
Marriage is bound to bring cares and
anxieties. and burdens, from which the
single are free. 1t exacts the giving
up of ones own inclinations and de-
sireS.
Every, husband and wife must pay
this price for being married, and it is
because they pay it%with grumbling,
and whining, and under protest, that
SO many maria ges are failures. 1t is
because so many husbands and wives
try to cheat, and get all for nothing
that SO many homes are broken up. ~
1t is those who are just enough, and
generous enough, TO pay the full price
of matrimony who make of marriage
a shining success. They pay in love,
and patience, and forbearance. They
strive for the happiness of each other.
They give truth, and loyalty and sym
pathy. and understanding. They count
sacrifice a Joy because it is made for
something dearer to them than their
own selfish 'egotisn.
Always it is those who pay the full
price who get the worth of their
money. Fate runs no bargain table.
