HEALTH GNoME VISITS STATE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

DuI ENAO VI AAA1&AA1AA -
From State Dept. of Health.
The Health Gnome who makes
the rounds of health departments,
dropped in at the headquarters of
the Maryland State Department of
Health, the other day. Taking off
his little peaked cap, thereby making
himself visible, he made profound
bow, and recited:
''Toxin-anti-toxin gives protection
And safety from diphtheria in
lection.
Do not hesitate day,
Ask your doctor right away,
To give the first immunity in
lection"
81 picked that up" he remarked,
at the Wisconsin State Department
of Health.
Did you know he continued
'that DR.. Hugh S. Cumming, the
Surgeon General of the United
States Public Health Service, says
that preventable diseases, -such as
diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet
fever, tuberculosis, the venereal
diseases, -will cost the people OF
the United States, over three tnous-
and million dollars, during the
present year, in money alone, in adj
ditioH to the inestimable suffering
that always goes with illnesses, and
the death of approximately 100000
persons ?"
Then the wise little person went
/ on: "Shall | tell you a secret ? Dc
YOU want a safe and sure recipe fol
keeping some of the germs away
from you ?" He gave chuckle-
lr.Use plenty of soap and water or
your two hands"
4 Very seriously he went on, "You'
hands often come in contact witt
disease producing germs. Eatinf
with soiled hands, and thus contami
mating your food, is one way of get
ting disease germs into your mouth
and through your body. Diseases
of the throat, nose and lungs, al
we'll as bowel diseases may be con
tracted in this way. To safeguard
yourself, ALWAYS WASH Y0UF
HANDS BEFORE EATING.
Better remember that" he said
well, so long"-and~ before any
body could wink, there was a flourish
of the little green cap, and he hat
melted into thin air.

THE SLACK SEASON" OF LIFE

THE ''SLACk SEASON" OF LIFE
Suppose you worked for seven
months every year and then got
laid off for five months during
+" slack season"
That would be twelve month s
living on seven months earning
The only way you keep going during
the five months you were idle
would be to live on money saved
during the working seven.
Now, has it eyer struck you that
it is the same way with your life
Along about sixty or sixty-five
you are going to face "siach
season" when you. may not be able
to work any more. But you will
have to go on living. How Sup
ported by friends, relatives O.
charity.
No. you don't want to do that
Then it will have to be on the
money you will have saved durint
your young busy years-the year
right now.
Most of us are apt to forget that
unless we die before our time, we
are going to have to put twenty OF
thirty years of earning against fifty
or sixty years of living.
And unless we spend a little
slower than we earn and SAVE thu
difference, there won't be cent
left for the last ten or twenty years
of our lives-the very years whef
we will most need comfort ano
good care.
Young men who are earning goof
wages should remember that this
is the busy season of their live
and that is nothing more than or
binary common sense to lay aside
something now for the slack sea
son" Of old age when money will be
needed and needed badly.

the Board of Temperance, Prohibi
tion and Public Morals of the Metho
dist Church of America, questions
the authority and authenticity OF
report on prohibition published il
public press last week, under the
name Of the Federal Council of
Churches.
DR.. Wilson is a member of the
executive committee of the Federal
Council of Churches. He said he
knew nothing of the preparation of
a report on prohibition such as being
issued and declared that il such re
port had been ordered prepared and
issued he believes he would know
about it,.
"If the writer of the articles for
the Federal Council is not getting
anything from the National Associa
ton Opposed to Prohibition he is E
fool" said DR.. Wilson. "It is
exactly the kind of. stuff that or
ganization pays for" The report
declares that prohibition is facing
a supreme test and expresses doubt
as to the final outcome.
DR.. Wilson said that, although he
is in constant touch with the Fed
eral Council of Churches, he has
never heard of any action author

bition movement and pubaieatioR OF

The fire insurance business of to
day represents the evolution of
nearly 26O years, and during this
long period it has become closely
interviewer with the very fabric of
the industrial and social life of the
world: it is the cornerstone of com
merce.' In its ramifcations, it at
fects directly and Indirectly every
individual in the country. 1t could
not be otherwise, in view of tn,
fact that outstanding fire insurance
approximates the tremendous sum o.
500, 200, 100000.
The announcement that fire in
surance companies last year paid
losses amounting to $4,000. 900 i
slightly misleading. These losse'
were not paid by insurance com
panies but by property owners. TO
every fire loss is collected in in
surance rates.
If American people would onl'
reduce their carelessness by half, j.
would mean a great saving in in
surance premiums.

GET A BROADER VIEWPOINT

Because our country is so large
we are often inclined to narrow our
views regarding it's various activitie
to the more immediate sections in
which we live. Californians may
think their state is a leader in road
work, New Workers that they have
he only modern buildings and
Florida that it has the principa
recreation resorts.
To show the narrowness of sucF
views, consider the road question
alone. The Southern states, which
have been generally advertised
having bad roads, are rapidly forp
ing to the front in the .constructio,
of new paved motor roads. Report
from the highway departments of
southern states, show that under
their direction. total Of $4,000
900 is available for new roads thi.
year.
Including the construction wor
under way by counties and town
ships, the sums being spent in the
South this year for road improve
ments will aggregate approximately
S4OO,0O0,0O0. In the new construc
ton, the asphaltic types of pavement
predominant and their mileage this
year will outstrip any year hereto
fore, on account of their practi
liability for all types of hard
surfacing.
AS it is with roads, so it is with
other lines of activity. The whole
country is growing. We should al,
know more about its resources and
realize that it's development is not
confined to any one favored section

Plainyille. Feb, 16. - Plainyllle doesn't appear 10 be a very fruit ful place for ministers of the gos- pei, judging from tho fact that pas tors of two churches here have left the ministry within the past year to enter into lines of labor which arc better paying propositions than preaching the word of God.
 The first to leave the pulpit be- cause of the small financial remun- oration from his church was Rev. F. r. Washington, pastor of the Plainville A. M. E. Zion church. At the time of his resignation, Mir. Washington very candidly stated that the reason he was leaving the church was because of the small financial return he was receiving.
 He stated that he was going to take up steady work as painter, paper hanger and interior decora- tor because he would be able to make a decent living for himself and family at that work, whereas the salary given him at the church was insufficient,

 "We have two classes of people in this city-Christiats and you can call the others what you wish.
 If we are Christians we must be something more than church members. We must take our work seriously. We must get rid of the idea that reforms come and miracles are wrought by wish ing. Everybody wishes things were better-even senators.
 "The truble with lot of good people today is that they spend their time wishing furiously. wish ing that1the other fellow would wake up, get busy and do something.
 The provoking thing about these wishers is that they are all experts. They know how to run business, a country, a church, even a Bible class better than those who are carrying the burden.

 Since his advent 10 Plainville. Mir. Libby has been a tailor, a carpen- ter and has also continued his taxi work. He has been handling so much work in these lines, 1t is said, that he has been unable to give full justice to the position of pastor of the Plainville Advent Christian church and so he has resigned that position here but has not with drawn from the ministry.
 It has been rumored in Piainville that Mr. Libby was called to ac- count by some of the more innuen- tial members of his parish for his outside activities and he was asked to give them up. He is said to have replied that he could not do so and live, and the argument waXed back and forth until MT. Libby handed In his resignation as pastor of the l church.
 He is called on every Sunday, however, to fill the pulpit in other churches in the state and while on week days he is either yielding the needle or the hammer and saw while doing odd jobs with his au- tom6bile, he still finds time to pre- pare sermons for the Sundays on which he breaches, It is. said that he has found the carpenter busi' ness lucrative here, much more SC than the ministry.
