POLICEMEN. BIG BROTHERS

Chicago might be encouraged by
 something that happened in New Brit
 ain number of years ago, and New
 Britain might be interested in some
 thing that is being talked about in
 Chicago just now. Out in that city where the wind does more than whistle it has been suggested that the policemen be asked to try to become the ''big brothers of the children of the city. People arc advised to "culti- Nate acquaintance with the patrol man." "ho can tell you much They should be big brothers to the children. Call a meeting at which the police men are invited to be present"
 That is real talk. And the beauty of it is that the average policeman is the sort of man who honestly enjoys being big brother to the kids. And the kids, with their love Of brass but tons, would he compimented half out Of theiw wits 10 have a lowing &C., quaintance, even, with the "cop on the beat."
 As for the policemen being able to "tell you mueh;" that goes for the most highly educated man or woman in town just as absolutely as it is true or the less intelligent folks who could ''learn much" from the man on the beat. AS students Of human nature, and as a class member 0 which think a great deal as they walk along the street alone so much of the time. the patrolman is there" Talk with them. Ask their opinions on the things the city needs. They al have ideas worth considering. The longer they have been on the force the greater has been their opportunity to watch the effect afcertain laws on the aver- age citizen. Many Of them profit by what they see and hear constantly. All of them will. in time.
 iH AHls NllN Auiif af' N'iAait 0T- ganizations many Of the members Of which arc honest in their desire to advocate the things that are wiscst in s practical, not a theoretical way. Long association with habitual "re- formers" sometimes narrows their viewpoints They see only the idealls- 1 tic side of the case. The officer on the beat secs the practical side. He | does not theorize a great deal: he knows from experience. Many "wel- 1 fare meeting" would be taken out ! cloud Of hay generalities and into the 1 light where the chance to sec things 1 as they arc would be better, were those present to listen a few minutes to the sane talk Of the man on the beat 1t would help the policeman, too.
 The thing that happened here a good many years ago which might en- courage Chicago in its attempt to make "big brothers of it's policemen, was that event when a policeman. meeting Rev. John E. Klingberg. told him or a suffering family, and of the little children whose condition had appealed to him. The children were taken Co Mr. klingberg's home. Par ishioners helped later 10 care for more. Anothcr house was taken.

THINK!

We are all nearing more, seeing
 more and reading more than ever before. The telephone and radio take
 care to keep our ears full of sound-
 information, sound and unsound per
 haps The moving pictures are tell
 ing us more about habits, customs,
 motives of people and are making us
 familiar with the sight of foreign
 lands and other interesting places. The
 constantly increasing number of
 magazines devoted to various subjects,
 and the broadcasting of the field cov-
 cred by newspapers give us the in-
 formation that comes through read
 ing. Public libraries are more popu-
 larly patroni2ed, and many new
 sources of information are being dis
 covered and developed. So the reser-
 voirs of interesting and educational
 data, uplifting and otherwise, are
 being tapped as never before. All of
 which is good. We are usually so
 busy in our leisure hours reading.
 hearing and seeing that one other practice is receiving somewhat scant attention.
 That other thing--that thing some Of us are forgetting, is the habit of thinking. The rnding, hearing, sec ing is all very fine. Facts are pre- sentcd to us and often comments upon those facts creations Of the brains of a few others whose business IS to do a lot of thinking, are repeated to us in moving pictures, the radio, the magazines and the newspapers. That, too, is good, for the more ode knows of the arguments for and against a matter and the facts concerning it the more wisely one may decide between the suggested merits and dcmcrits Of a matter.
 But in order to make ihe most Of 1 the greater amount Of information We arc receiving 1t Is very necessary in- deed that we set aside time, each | day to do bit of thinking on our own account. Only portion Of the valuefo Of a thonghtfully writ n essay is in the text itself. The full value rests in the suggestions for deeper thought that it gives us as we read. Only a small portion Of the value found in a statement of news facts lies in such statement.

EAT MORE" CAMPAIGNS WILL
MAKE US FAT
Writer in Medical Journal Gives
Some Advice Regarding the
Proper Diet.

MadiSon-If Wisconsin people
follow all the "eat-more" campaigns
fostered by food producers it would
become a race of fat people.
according to DR.. Elmer L. Sewing
haus of the University of Wisconsin,
writing in the Wisconsin Medical
Journal.
Wisconsin viii always feel
ready to foster a Drink More Milk"
campaign to stimulate home in
dustries," DR.. Sevringhaus declared.
But we are now being besieged
from every side with similar efforts
to increase the use of such foods as
wheat. fruit, nuts, and raisins. If
we follow all these suggestions we
shall become a nation of fat people.
In the effort to avoid the disasters of
diet that omits some of the
fundamental substances for a proper
nutrition we may easily eat too
much.
THE study of diabetes during the
past 10 years has shown that CON
tinuous overeating is large factor
in causing this disease. The insur-
ance companies find that fat people
do not live as long or as well as
people of normal weight or even less.
These findings refer to adults,
particularly after 80 years of age.
It is better, however, for the growing
child to be up to or slightly above
the normal weight. Perhaps this
will not continue to be true as we
find out more definitely what to eat
for essentials, so that we may net
have to overeat to be sure of having
enough.
water is such a commonplace
part of our diet that we are prone
to neglect it. Yet most of us could
profit by drinking more freely of
water. In many cases drinking eight
to ten glasses daily improves the
condition of the kidneys, gives relief
to constipation and facilitates di-
gestion. To cultivate a drinking
habit one should keep a daily record
of the amount until he is certain he
is drinking a sufficient quantity"

This is the season of the Cross, of
love and sacrifice and self-denial.
1t is also the season of hope. The
Cross is fruitful like nothing else in
life. Every great and good thing
comes forth out of suffering. All
grace and beauty and life grow out
of self-abnegation. The Cross
means the dying of what we gladly
would see die and the living and
Towering of the spiritual in us,
There is only one golden age-the
one that is still to come. The
strongest, finest men, the men most
nearly like the poised perfection Of
Jesus, the purest, most gracious
women that the world can know will
possess the future.
And what is there that we can do?
We can pray
We can go to Church.
We can help create Christian
atmosphere.
May this week be one of recon
secration. We can do this thru
prayer, meditation and more en-
ergetic Christian effort.
