ADDING DIGNITY TO TT

The BARRIERS of Elizabeth n. j., are determined to
lift themselves up to their rightful position in the
professional world. The customers of the dentist,
the ear and nose specialist, the artist and the sur
geon usually make appointments for having
their work done and hereafter when wants his
hair cut in Elizabeth he must follow this rule which
prevails in other professions He must ask the bar
Der for an appointment to have his hair cut. The
proper way of asking for date is to telephone
the favorite tonsoria artist and say Antonio de-
sire sitting" Antonio will then look through his
book and see what previous engagements he has and
an appointment will be made that will not conflict
with others.
After the custom is firmly established it should
prove more convenient to both barber and patient
What is more vexng than to be waiting in the bar
Der shop for the Saturday night shave and finally
discover that the sixteen men ahead Of you each
want hair cut? They ought to have their hair cut
by appointment. In Elizabeth it is still possible to
sneak in and get the whskers removed, but the more
elaborate operation of moving the locks from the
dome and shaping up the fuzz around the edges will
be done only according to the hours as listed in the
book per previous arrangement.
1t may be long time before the custom becomes
general but think of the dignity it would add to the
operation to have ones hair cut by appointment

that Mr. Hallam had noticed Elmers habit of thrift
and appreciated his little attentions when the other
boys steered clear of his home SO the will directed
that Elmer be given the annual interest on 100000

ses, and given the principal when he graduates
Elmer is evidently the kind of boy everybody
likes. He is real boy he would not like to play
baseball he knows his lessons; he works during va
cation time and saves his money and he is courteous
to his elders. When he ran errands and paid other
little attentions to Mr.. Haam he did not expect any

SAVE THE BABY'S NECK

CTAMPING out tuberculosis is saw
~ ing our babies necks.
tuberculosis may affect any part Of
the body. In former years, tubercu-
losis Of the lungs was called consump.
ton, because the lung tissue was con.
sumed or destroyed, and great cavl.
ties formed in these organs.
tuberculosis of the skin was called
lupus, or wolf, because the skin be-
came reddish brown. like a VOLTS
coat.
tuberculosis of the glands was
called scrofula. In England, It was
for centuries called Kings Evil, be-
cause 1t was believed that it could be
cured by the touch of the king. So
thousands Of scrofulous children were
brought to the king for cure.
Some Of these children recovered or
Improved. because they were carried
by their parents for days or even
weeks from their homes all over Eng
land to London and so got fresh air
and sunlight. which they never would
have had otherwise.
But 1t wasn't the kings touch that
cured them. King William of Orange,
who, with his wife Mary, ruled Eng
land from 1888 to 1902. was the last
English king who touched for the dis
ease and evidently he had little faith
in his ability to cure. To one man
whom he touched he said, "God give
you good health and better sense"
After Koch discovered the germ Of
tuberculosis In 1882, 1t was found that
scrofula in the glands, lupus in the
skin, and consumption In the lungs
we're all different forms Of the same
disease. For twenty years more. sur
geons treated scrofula by removing the
diseased, broken-down glands and
draining the assesses which had
formed. This left ugly scars.
Tubercular glands In the neck were
common in all hospitals, dispensaries
and surgical clinics. Then it was
found that this condition was caused
by milk from tubercular cows. This
danger could be removed by pasteur-
izing the milk.
Today, 90 per cent Of the milk used
in large cities is pasteurized. As soon
as all the milk for our large cities
was pasteurized, cases Of gland tuber-
culosis began to decrease.
Then our national and state agricul-
tural departments started systemat-
lie fight against tuberculosis in cattle
and the disease decreased still more.
So now it is comparatively rare.
This is not only good thing for
the cattle, but it is also better thing
for our babies.
No tubercular cows, no tubercular
milk. No raw milk, no gland tuber-
culosis In babies

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. Frederick r. Green,
Editor of Health"
OVERCOMING MISFOR-
TUNE

MISFORTUNE, which brushes some,
AsA stimulates others to greater eff
fort. Shakespeare makes Cassius say,
''The fault, dear Brutus. is not with
our stars, but with ourselves"
The newspapers recently told Of q
tragic occurrence in one Of our great
cities. A prosperous baker, who had
invested his savings in city real estate,
died several years ago, leaving three
children, all grown. The daughter was
normal. but the two sons had been
blind since early childhood. The
daughter carried on the business and
took care Of her two blind brothers
The three lived much to themselves,
the men never going out Of the house
without the sister to guide them.
Recently, the neighbors noticed that
the house was closed and apparently
deserted. After waiting a week, the
police broke in to find the sister dead
on the floor, apparently from heart
disease, and the two brothers dead
from starvation. With money in the
bank and valuable real estate in theiI
possession, they died for lack Of food
because they were totally dependent
on their sister and had never learned
to care for themselves.
The same papers contained an &C.
count of young man of twenty-four
also blind from childhood, who had
passed the state bar examination and
graduated from law school with high
honOrS.
One man conquered his affliction.
The other men were conquered by it.
Blind men have won success and
reputation In many lines. Prescott
the historian, was blind during the
greater part Of his life. Senator Gore
of Oklahoma has been blind for years
One Of the leading physicians OF
Chicago lost his eyesight In boy
hood, yet he went through college
and medical school, graduated with
honors, and is today an authority on
heart disease, recognized as such all
over the country. These men did not
succeed because they were blind. but
In spite of 1t.
One man loses his sight and be-
comes a beggar. Another meets the
same misfortune, overcomes 1t, and
becomes successful man.
A boy born without arms, who
learned to write with his toes. recent
ly took a prize as penman. A girl
born without arms learned to write
sew, comb her hair, and dress herself
with her toes. She graduated this
year from Vassar.
Are you handicapped in any wayi
Don't give up to misfortune. Learn
to overcome it. Others have done
It and so can you.
