CURING CHILDREN.

The statement Is al first though
 startling. that out Of SSs sehoo
 children examined in the past montl by the school examining physician
 GS7 were found to have defects O
 some kind other than those Of th'
 feeth--a trouble that afflicted bbo
 Second thoughts. however, remine
 one that very few persons in tho
 world are absolutely free from some
 defects. and they get along very vel
 notwithstanding such troubles.
 This fact. however. docs not de.
 tract from the importance of the
 health work in the schools nor make it less advisable that the defects dis covered should be .emedied. The point is that there would not be so great number Of adults suffering from different ailments today if there had been, years ago, such or- ganized health work in the schools dS lneTe Is toudg' "hab ""o s"oN enough for us is not good enough for our children as long as we have dis covered way and have the facilities for making their lives happier and more healthful than our lives have been.
 But the prosecution of this health work and the emphasis that is being laid upon it suggests that the curing of the children should be brought about with due regard to the psy- chological aspect of the situation.
 Men and women of today were not examined by school physicians. Again let it be said that it would have been much better for them if they had been. The work is splen- did, and we are strong for it. But it must be remembered by those who have charge of this health work that children are easily affected by sug gestion. We, for instance, were not told when we were children in school that we were suffering from severe organic trouble. We were not fright ened. We thought we were healthy and we acted as though we were which was a good thing for us. Care should be taken, in the modern health work, not to frighten chill dren; not to give them the sugges- tion that they are weak and ill. The l line between making light of a 1 trouble and over-emphasizing it it a l very fine one. Certainly children | should be impressed with the neces- sity of obeying orders from doctors, | dentists and nurses as well as par ents. But they should be told that in order to be as happy and strong as possible they must do these things, rather than that they must do them In order to free themselves of terri ble disease under which they labor.
 One does not have to be firm be- fever in Coue's theory of autosug- yestion to see the necessity for han Hing the children in such wayI that they will not consider them selves invalids. Again there appears he wisdom of studying the sensitive mind of the patient in successful treatment of especially sensitive bodies.

About Whooping Cough.
pr New Britain Herald

EulIOr NpW bTltdlH f1GTdlu.
 Dear Sir-Replying to the inquiry ! from you roffice few days ago, as to the prevalence and threatened epidemic of whooping cough in Der lin, we can say that since the first of this month one case has been re- ported to the local health officer. Five cases, four of them on the ex- treme borders of the town, and di- rectly traceab1e to contact with chill dren in nearby cities, were reported in Januarv, and one in November.
 This constituted the so-called epidemic. We may have a real epi- demic something, no one can tell, but just at present the only epidemic we seem to have is an imaginary one.
 The health officer has no way of knowing Of contagious or. infectious diseases aside from those under his own personal care, except as they are reported to him. All physicians and most parents have learned to be very prompt in making such reports. and when no such reports are received it is evidence that no epidemic exists.
 In addition to attending physicians and parents, it is as well the duty. and the law requires, that all persons responsible for the care of people having infectious or contagious dis cases shall see that such cases are re- ported to the proper authorities.
 This means that school teachers and school superintendents knowing Of children out of school on account of reported contagious diseases, shall report the same to the health office.
 Very truly yours.

 Your letter Of Jan. 27th was duly received and was full Of interest from beginning to close. It seems re- markable that your generous invita- ton should disclose to us such in- timacy of neighborly interest in carly life.

The former was one of the pioneers of Winsted and in the organization of the First Congrcga- tional church was one of the com mittee making application to the as- sembly for necessary permission to build their house of worship in East Winsted.

Happy

You surely made one woman hap. py in this big world when you sent me the shoes I've been trying for over one year to get I put them on and went right back to the P. o. and got the enclosed Money Order and I want to thank you very kindly for making me the shoes. As I've said before, they are the only shoe I've every had that's perfectly comfortable on my foot. Sure they are large, but l am a large woman and on my feet all the time. Please don't let anything happen to last 55, for some day I'll be sending for another pair of shoes.'
 The above letter from woman in the West came last week to the Can- tilever factory. It is typical of many letters written by wearers of the can tilever Shoe.
 There's reason for this. You'll feel the same way yourself when you have been properly fitted to a pair of Cantilever Shoes.

FLEX WITH THE FOOT

Cantilevers have no stiff piece of steel in the arch, just where your foot ought to be allowed to fiex. They are made with a flexible arch--just like that of your own foot--built on the same Cantilever plan. They let your foot flex when it ought to flex. They allow every muscle it's natural exercise-whch keeps the rect strong and young and supple. They throw the body's weight on the ball, the out side of the foot and the heel, just as you will see it should be if you will take the trouble to look at the im- print of a child's bare foot in the sand or its wet footprint on the floor.
 Cantileyer Shoes will leave your foot as free and natural in it's action as child's bare foot. No binding anywhere-just a snug, comfortable fit without bit of waste room. The rounded toe and medium heel of Cam tilevcrs is now all the style. It has always been the vogue for the youth- ful foot.
 Be fitted to a pair tomorrow and keep your feet young and your spirits buoyant.

Much Enthusiasm
Being Shown For
Mass. Aggie Game

Lewiston, oct. S-PlanS nave now
been completed for the annual Junior
class picnic. Edmund Woodcock
'25, chairman has been very busy
during the past few days planning
refreshments, hunting up chaperones
and rousing enthusiasm. The pres
ent plans call for the affair on Tues
day afternoon at the River bank,
famous for the many gatherings of a
like nature staged there. Hot dogs
will be roasted and a picnic lunch
served. After this the party will
gather aroung the fire for songs and
cheers.
The first football rally Of the year
was held Friday evening at Hathorn
hall to raise enthusiasm for the
Mass Aggies game. Red Men
neatly, college cneer leader, led the
gathering and emphasized the value
OF noise at a football game. 1t being
the opening game at home d large
crowd is necessary to show the men
that they have solid support. After
the singing Of the college football
song and cheers for the team the
meeting broke up.
Students tickets for the football
season were given out Friday noon.
The tickets for the four home games
are bound in a small booklet together
with several extras for added games
OF the second or freshmen teams.
Manager Tarbell is to be commended
for the excellent way in which he has
handled things thus far. The
schedule is the best chosen in years
and the field has been kept in fine
condition from the first.
The hill and dale men are training
daily with light road work and set

will put his best foot forward for a
win. Bates has two legs on the state
cup while Maine has one. a win
this year would bring the trophy to
Lewiston where Coach Jenkins is
convinced il belongs. No selection
for the team will probably be made
for several weeks yet as the coach is
anxious to give every man an oppOr-
tunity to show his wares.

Measured in terms of acreage of
7 land in farms, about 20 percent of
| farm land is being cultivated by
! tenants, according to the institute
statement. Measured in terms of
| improved acreage, tenants are said
to occupy almost 35 percent of the
improved land.
The South is shown to have had a
steady increase in tenant farms. with
some states showing over so percent
of farm tenancy.
THE reason must be sought in the
prevalence of one crop farming, par
ticularly cotton and tobacco. and in
the human factor" the report de-
Clared. "Three-fourths Of the negro
farmers and a large proportion of
the whites are renters. The boil
weevil and the migration of negro
labor to the North is bound to pro-
duce great changes in the present
renting arrangements.
However. in the last decade seven
states in the South have had a de-
crease or else practically no change
in the proportion Of tenants to own
ers. They are: Florida. Alabama,
Mississippi. Tennessee, Kentucky,
Virginia and Maryland.
Ever since 1850 there has been a
steady increase in farm tenancy in
the Corn Belt. Missouri alone is an
exception. In the Corn Belt. econ
omic forces determining tenancy
have had full play. Farms have in
creased in size ever since 1880.
Agricultural machinery has made
possible a larger acreage per man.
The tractor has had a powerful in
f1uence in the same direction. Land
is at a premium and its value often
inflated making ownership more
difficult.
kansas, Nebraska and the Da-
kotas have had the most remarkable
increases in the proportion of ten
ants to owners during the last de-
cade. Western Minnesota shares in
this increase with the Dakotas.
North Dakota had only Il percent
of tenancy in 1910. but now has over
81 percent. while South Dakota
jumped from 25 to 35 percent. One
crop agriculture, large scale oper
ations and the many farms held for
speculation are features that partly
explain this rapid rise in tenancy.
"Notable declines in tenant oper-
ated farms have persisted in the
Eastern states on the Atlantic sea-
board from Virginia northward. Only
New York bad a larger proportion of
tenants in 1920 than it had in 1880,
and even then in 1920 less than one
fifth of its farms were tenant opcr-
ated
western states have such a
variety of conditions that tenancy
figures are not significant The
agriculture ranges from irrigated
land to ranchinE. New farms are
still being created from the public
domain. and these are practically all
in the hands of owners. This fact
tends to obscure the increase in
tenant farms.
Utah has the lowest rate of ten
ancy in the United States outside of
New England and Nevada. although
1t is one of the oldest Of the western
states and has a well developed
agriculture. The peculiar social and
religious institutions of the MOrmons
