one can buy to decorate Christ

Why Buy Christmas Sealsl
The president of the Minnesota
Public Health Association, DR.. H
Longstreet Taylor. says:
When people are asked to buy
Christmas Seals, they have a
right to know what is to be done
with the money.
They are also entitled to
know what has been done with
the money received from Christ
mas Seals in the past, and what
are the results of the fight
against tuberculosis that has
been waged by Christmas Seals in

The Cost OF tuberculosis
The long period of illness from tu-
berculosis makes Il a costly disease:
costly to the individual, and costly to
the community. Every one In the
community is forced to pay his share
OF the loss occasioned by the idleness
that accompanies illness and the abb
sence OF wealth production caused by
untimely death.
| tuberculosis cuts off two and one
half years OF life from the complete
expectation OF every individual. II

to the community wealth per year

Yet health can be bought. Every

Swedish Socialists
KEYNOTE Sounded

Specialization by evolution instead of
revolution. peace by preparing for
peace instead of for war, the grad
ual elimination of militarism, the OPP
position to private uncontrolled cap
italism, secure home for every cltl-
zen, and strip of Swedish soil for
every Swede who wants 1t. these are
the outstanding points of the key
note address delivered here by HAL
mar Branting at the Swedish Social
Democrat Party congress. This ad-
dress holds a special significance as
clearly defining the Socialist Demo
crat platform in the elections this
fall that may give Sweden its third
Socialist government.
I'VE have faith in labor's histor-
ical function in the reform of So
ciety," said Mr.. BrantinG, land we
now begin to see the light dawning
through the darkness. We realize
that it was a mistake to think that
political supremacy would be suffi-
cient, and we know now that our
ideals must grow into integral ele-
ments of society itself. We must,
above all, mobilize and utilize the
great moral forces among the labor
ing classes"
The ex-prem;er's speech was re-
ceived with a demonstration of ap-
proval by the assembly of delegates
from all districts of Sweden. and
was likewise strongly endorsed by
the visiting delegates from Norway,
Denmark. Finland, England, Belgium,

Miss Simpson Given
Surprise Shower by
Group of Intimates

When Miss Marie Simpson accept
ed an invitation to join party of
her young lady friends for an auto
mobile trip and supper at Lake View
Manor, Belgrade Lakes, Friday even
ing, she did not suspect that she was
the honor guest of the occasion. But
so it turned out and Miss Simpson
was given shower in honor Of her
approaching marriage to Joseph P.
Williams of WATERFOWL, Mass.
The young lady friends of Miss
Simpson had carefully guarded their
preliminary plans for the event and
it was not until after all had par
taken of the delicious dinner at the
Manor and the entire group had ed-
journed to the room above TO play
the Victrola, that she was made
aware of the real significance of the
assemblage of her intimates.
On the music cabinet was a large
package. which in obedience to the
instructions of the other members of
the party, Miss Simpson opened, and
contained in which We're a number Of
smaller packages containing articles
of silver. cut glass, linen and other
things which are calculated to delight
the heart of the bride-to-be.
AS surprise, the affair was an
unqualified success, and Miss Simp-

oughly delightful evening. Besides

Autoists Using Less
Frequented Roads for
Pleasure Rides

The many autoists in the city who
plan to go for a short ride every
evening are beginning to hunt for
' the less frequented roads, leading to
the country towns, instead of taking
the usual Brunswick road and Au-
Gusta trips. The reason for this may
he that there is a new back to the
country movement afoot, but what
is more probable is that the recent
! anti-speed campaign is the cause.
1t must he remembered that al
though few realize it and still fewer
do it. the speedometer must be kept
down to the figure 10 between Gar
diner and Augusta. When the new
state road is struck, however, 1t is
an unusually cautious driver that
keeps to this figure, and most of
them soon get up to 70, then on up
until they are going 80 or 50 miles
an hour, the latter figure being the
absolute limit for speed in the open
country.
The majority OF people feel that
there is no pleasure in riding when
the motorcycle officer is close all the
time; he may NOT be paying any at
tcntion to you, but there is always
that lurking fear that he may pull
alongside and do his stuff" While
the drives out in other directions are
very pretty. the condition of the
roads is rather discouraging. The
campaign against speeding, however,
seems to be bringing results. for the
speeding of local cars has decreased
great deal since the arraignment
in court of several OF the offenders.
