Boy Warriors Battle Disease With Naked Bodies
While Warmly clad attendants Shizer- in Cold
Sunshine and Fresh Air
Strengthens Bent and
FraiI Bodies.
BY NEA Service


PETERSBURG, n. Y, Jan. g.
A rollicking warwhoop from be-
yond the white hill-crest skaters
the frosty stiffness.
Then comes streaking into view
and down the slope a Kaleidoscope
jumble of naked bodies.
Here in this Indian hunting
ground back from Lake Erie it is
easy to dream an explanation. 1t
is a war party Of Iroquois coming
home on snowshoes with the scalps
of unfortunate Hurons.
But these figures are borne on
skis, and the breech-clouts which
form their only garment are not
of skins. but of factory cloth.
Sun Worshipers
Like their prototypes of the CID
..F,ive Nations" they are sun wor-
shippers. But they call their rites
'theliotherapy" and their temple is
the J. N. Adam Memorial Hos
pital here, where they are battling
against tuberculosis.
Visiting this unique encamp-
ment, a city. dweller comes almost
to question the benefit of his own
so-called health. He must wear
overcoat, muff1er, a cap with ear
f1ape and people try to make him
put on overshoes. If he omits
these details, he risks cold or
pneumonia.
The hundred or so children who
are patients here wear nothing
but shoes and loin cloth winter
and summer, except when the
wind is strong and bitter. Mere
ice and snow do not faze them
They live the freest, happiest,
happiest, healthiest of lives, and
in two or three years. when
"cured, they are condemned
again to trousers, skirts and coats
Old Treatment
The sun treatment for tubercu-
losis which these children here re-
ceive has been used since ancient
times, but was brought to scien-
tific form by DIR. Roller of Ley
sin, Switzerland. 1t is to expose
the bodies of the little patients
gradually to the rays Of the sun
until they can withstand the or
binary rigors Of year-round tenn
perature without ill-effect. They
come to the hospital bent and
fraiI. The sunshine and fresh air
are their medicine.
Skiing, tobogganing and snow
balling are favorite outdoor sports.
They hike over the open country,
ride ponies, go to school and build
playhouses-all in their natural
cloak of modesty. Their nurses
and teachers bundle up in furs
and heavy clothing, but the pa
tients go around. as some call it,
raw"
The great pride of the boys is a
shack which they built last fall.

DIPLOMAT SAYS
Nation to Adhere to Hands

United Press Stat Correspondent
Copyright, 1894, bg United Press
LONDON, Jan. s,-Japan win ad-
here strictly to a 'hands-off" policy
in China and to a continuation OF
friendship with the United States,
Baron Hayashi. Japanese ambassa-
dor to England, told the United
Press in an exclusive interview to-
day. Baron Hayashi is one of
Japans foremost statesmen and an
all-important figure in the Toxic for
eign office.
'Japan's policy in China he said.
'is based upon complete and open
understanding and cooperation with
the great powers. Japan is de-
terrnined to avoid any intervention
in China's affairs, except in the form
of friendly assistance offered jointly
by Japan, the United States and
other great powers.
Help Needed
II think there must eventually be
an offer Of assistance to China by
the powers" he continued. This
would have to come after a Chimes
conference, in which the powerN
would participate. And no action
could be taken unless it was agree
able to China
Military Intervention In China by
any or all the powers would be
colossal blunder, In the opinion of
l % To
preaching a military expedition
would inhame China and might
cause a repetition Of the Boxer up
rising.
THE form of foreign assistance to
China should be financial ane ad-
visory," explained the ambassador.
THE only other hope for estab-
hshment Of order in China IS for
some strong man to become head
Of the government. I can see no i'm
mediate prospects OF this and I do
not know who the strong raan'
viii be"
Discusses Peace
Discussing Alnerican-Japanese re-
lations, Hayashi said:
Our friendship must and win be
continued. We must not allow it to
be disturbed by occasional unfortu-
nate circumstances or utterances in
either country.
There are jingoes in each coun-
try. Regrettable incidents have hap
pened in each country. But beneath
these things traditional friendship
remains and believe always win re-
main.
The fundamental policy of japan
and of America in the Pacific is that
our friendship must be maintained.
If we forget that, the future Of tn
world is dark

INVESTIGATE FIRST

Recent failures of concerns in this
country in which millions of dollars
worth of stock had been sold again
demonstrates the need for caution on
the part of prospective investors.
Time heals all wounds, even financial
ones, and the man who loses once
isn't always apt to profit by his les
son. So long as there are rainbows
and glib tongued promoters there will
be rainbow chasers. The tragedy is
that it is nearly always the small in
weston who gets hooked. 1t is the
widow or the family man past mid
die age who loses when financial
crash comes; they are the ones who
pay the piper. Before you invest,
investigate. Most banks offer advice
without cent of cost to you, and
their advice is gained through many
years Of experience with Investment.
A little delay may prevent years of
disappointment and establishment.
Investigate before you invest-ask
your banker friend for his advice

MOUTH HYGIENE
(The Problem)
By DIR. j. Fred Grimm


Hygiene is defined as that branch
Of medical science which relates to
the preservation and improvement of
health, both in individuals and in
communities. It has no special re-
lation to particular diseases, as is the
case with prophylaxis.
Popular Education
Mouth Hygiene should include all
measures employed, mostly by each
individual for himself, under the di-
rection of the dentist, to keep the
mouth in the healthiest possible con-
dition.
Every one should know what rules
should be followed and what results
may be expected. There is presented
great problem in education;
in spreading the knowledge
that many serious diseases which re-
suit from mouth conditions may be
prevented; that the more common
diseases of the mouth, such as the de-
cay of the teeth and the infama-
lions of the peridental membrane,
may be largely controlled by simple
methods of cleaning at regular inter
walls.
Let US look for moment at the
larger educational problem; time will
not permit our going into this very
interesting topic at all deeply, but
let me speak briefly of the Scope of
School Hygiene, later we will con-
slider the technic of cleaning the
mouth. Physicians, dentists and
nurses are the teachers who must in
their daily contact with our people,
educate them in such matters. How
ever, material aid has come and will
continue to come from other sources.
The duties of organized govern
ment in School Hygiene are extensive
and important. The state by its ex-
cellent compulsory school attendance
law places almost third of our total
population in this factory" for the
development of the mind. Author
irty states that most of the diseases
which cause death in middle life are
developed from conditions begun in
childhood. America has been behind
the European countries in developing
the subject of School Hygiene but the
examination Of ten million of our

MORE IMPORTANT NOW

The chances are that from now on.
or at least in all future years after
1924, you can ask the average Be-
lington man who is vice president of
the United States and he will be able
to tell you. Because the death of
President Harding has demonstrated
that the place is far more important
than we have ever considered it, and
that in the future it isn't going to
pay either political party to put up
vicezpresidential candidate just to
win votes of certain section, just to
get rid of a probable candidate for
the higher Office, or just to fatten up
the party's campaign fund. For
statistics show that vice-president
succeeds to the presidency every
twenty years. In other words, man
elected vice-president of the United
States has one chance in five of be-

THE POTATO CROP IN BUCHAN-
AN COUNTY, MO.

Their potato crop brought All club
boys of Buchanan County, Mo-, this
year an average net profit of $3.50
from each one-sixth-acre plot grown,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Clubs of farm boys were organized
by the agricultural extension agent
in three communities of the county
in January, 1924, to demonstrate the
advantages of using certified seed,
treating the seed to prevent disease,
properuse of fertilizer and selection
of soil, early planting and frequent
cultivation, and spraying to control
insects. These practices were care
fully followed by the club members
under the agents direction, and they
were able to harvest this fall a po-
tato crop of excellent quality, which
averaged yield of 266 bushels per
acre.

"GoING FORWARD"

There is no doubt in the average
persons mind that if he were COM
pletely satisfied with himself and the
way he is doing things, he would
have no incentive to go forward. Ma
turally not, because with complete
satisfaction in everything there
would be no forward necessarily
But ingrained in human nature
there is a smoldering spark which
constantly repeats i want to go for
ward. In some it is more noticeable
than in others. In some it is more
active than in others. Nevertheless,
it is present in all.
"The real trouble, however, is in
making the most of ones desire to
go forward. A mere resolution to
do, repeated thousand times, is not
enough. 1t is the wen-balaneed plan
behind the resolution that makes it
operative
Nov, it is a good thing, of course
to possess the force that makes one
go ahead. The hitch is that it must
not be confused with discontentment.
A person is getting somewhere when
he is driven by an onward force, but
he is getting nowhere at all when
he is at the mercy of the force of
discontentment.

One passenger narrowly escaped in. jury and the highway between Me chanieSviiie and West Thompson was blocked 70 traffic for two hours when a south bound trolley car of the Con necticut Comnany jumped the track near the Mechanicsvilla schoolhouse. Saturday evening. and came Co a stou facing east and west across the road
 The car. which was due in Putnam about s.45 left the West Thompson station and was proceeding toward Putnam when suddenly the front wheels jeff the iron and the car crash ed through a fence by the side of the road. A fence board narrowly missed hitting passenger. No one was hurt and the wreckinr crew was sent for. It was about two hours before the car was put back on the rails.
 In the meantime a long line of auto mobiles was brought to a standstill. as the car completely blocked the high way. Mast of the drivers turned about and made a detOur around the wreck. Passengers were transferred around the blockade until the car was put back and able to proceed.
 One driver of a Ford managed to scrape by by going partly up an em- bankment. No other drivers ventured to try to pass until part of the em- bankment had been dug away.
