OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE
A LAYMAN'S SERMONETTE
BY E. P. Conwell

A young man celebrated his twenty
first birthday here in Red Lodge the
other day. Nothing strange about
that No doubt there are many 9TH
ers at Bridger and Fromberg and
Joliet and other parts of the county
and state and nation who, next No
vember, will cast their first vote.
There will be many young men and
young women, too, who, standing for
the first time in the sacred precincts
of voting booth, will tremble, and
well they may. A ballot is indeed an
important thing The right to cast it
is more than mere right-it is
manifest duty and a sacred obligation.
So, becoming of age" is not mat
ter of such mere passing moment as
it may seem. The young men-the
young women of America never fail.
They sacrifice and die for their coun-
try if need be- They do so gladly in
time of war. But will they as valiont-
Iy and courageously live for it in time
of peace? Let's see.
Say young man, just listen. You
are tWenty-one, you can vote now, and
you stand up clear-eyed, clean-minded
and look the world squarely in the eye
You are man now.
Did you ever think, son, how much
it cost to make man out Of you?
Someone has figured up the cost in
money of rearing child. He says to
bring up young man to legal age,
care for him and educate him, costs a
lot of money.
But that isn't all.
You have cost your father many a
hard knocks and short dinners and
worry and grey streaks in his hair.
And your mother-ah, boy, you will
never know! She went down in the
Valley of the Shadow for you. Don't
forget that. You have cost her days
and nights of anxiety and heartaches
and sacrifice.
1t has been expensive to grow you.
But
Father doesn't say much except,
Hello Son" but remember that down
deep in his tough, staunch heart he
thinks you are the finest ever. And as
for your mother, she simply cannot
keep her love and pride for you out of
her eyes. Do you know, if you were to
do anything low or mean it would just
about kill your mother
You are man now. Doesn't that
sober you, Twenty-One?
Don't forget those things when you
enter the voting booth next November
for the first time. Now, will you? And
don't forget them at any time before
or after next November either. Re-
member that one hundred and ten
millions of Americans are in some
measure depending on you to do the
square thing by them and by yourself.
Don't finch, boy. The world is
watching you and it will try you out.
1t will put to the test every fiber in
you. But it's high time you were be-
ginning to pay the freight and your
back debts to your father and mother.
How shall you pay them," you
ask?
By being always and everywhere a
MAN.
Now, daughter, about everything
that has been said to your brother APP
plies to you. But, your obligations

Some OF the germs WHICH CAUSE
disease produce certain poisonous sub
stances called toxins. Among the
more common of these germs is the
bacillus which causes diptheria. Many
of the symptoms, complications, and
after-effects of this disease result
from the damage wrought by the toxin
of the diptheria bacillus.
The effort of the system to resist
invasion by the germs of diptheria
results in certain protective reactions
on the part of the tissues of the body.
One result of the protective reactions
is the formation of visible false
membrane. The place where the false
membrane forms is the place where
the germs of the disease have attacked
the body. Hence, the ordinary attack
of diptheria is characterized by the
formation of patches, or a false men,
brane, is only part of an attck of
diptheria. The germs that are present
in the throat give off their soluble
poison, or toxin, which is absorbed
into the system. And the possible
damage that may be done by this tox-
in after it is absorbed, is, perhaps, the
most serious danger of an attack of
diptheria. So the tissues of the body
make an effort to protect themselves
against the harmful effects Of the
toxin. They produce a substance
which neutralizes the toxin and rem
ders it harmless.
Helps System to Resist Disease
Spread
Because it works against the toxin
this neutralizing substance is callet
antitoXin. If the system can produce
it in sufficient quantities, and rapid!
enough, recovery occurs. Left to it
self, however, the system is quite of
ten unable to manufacture suffcien
antitoxin to prevent the diptheria tox
in from doing serious, or even fatal
damage. This is apparent from tn
relatively high death rate from dip
liberia when the disease is allowed t
run its course without proper treat
ment.
When the physician gives antitoxil
to the diptheria patient, he is giving
his patient the readymade antidote t.
the diptheria toxin. In other words
the patient receives just exactly wha
his own system is trying to develol
to neutralize the diptheria toxin. |
he receives a sufficient amount of tn
antitoxin, and receives it early enough
his recovery is practically assured.
The thing to remember is that anti
toxin is Natures own remedy for dip
liberia. 1t is a remedy produced i
Natures own interchangeable livin
body. And it is the only mature cure
known for this disease.

the pains all of the time, they come

than I used to, Could this be appendi-
citis? What can I do for it,"
Reply: While appendicitis is, per-
haps, the most common cause of pain
in that region, it is not the only cause.
A careful examination by physician
may enable him to determine just
what the trouble is. 1t would be adj
visable to have your doctor examine
you. The proper treatment would be
suggested by the nature of the trouble

Could you tell me what I could do fol
tit?"
| Reply: Among the things thai
causes chronic inflammation of the eye
lids are errors of refraction, poor by
gienic surroundings, irritation of thu
eyes from dust, wind, or smoke, ant
insufficient sleep. Measles are some
times followed by chronic infama
ton of the eyelids. Debilitated condi
tons of the system may cause it.

work of State Historian George H.

provided material for the volume
on Arizona history was done dur
ing 1923 and 1924 as was the writ
ing of some of the chapters The
26 chapters in the volume, how
ever, were completed this year,
edited and sent to the publishers.
It will be published early in 1926.

AT LEES FERRY

Judged by the. number of re-

Lees Ferry road, connecting the
north and south rims of the Grand
Canyon, is the most needed road
development in the southwest to-
day." according to j. R. Eakin, sup

tional park.
According to Mr.. Eakin, this will
not only be a connecting link be-
tween the two canyon rims, but will
be the only direct north and south
artery of travel for $50 miles in
either direction. During the sum-
mer season, an average of 10 peo-
pie per day ask for information re-
garding the Lees Ferry route at the
park office If nearby towns are
taken into consideration as sources
of information, no doubt scores of
inquiries are made daily relative to
this road. Due to it's bad condition,
tourists are advised not to make
the trip over the present road, and
if still intent on reaching their des-
tination, are forced to drive 400
miles out of the direct line. In
most cases the trip is given up al

New-Day Jewett Races Crack Express Train;
Wins Detroit Chicago Dash By 80 Minutes

freight train blocked the crossing
for five minutes; at Kalamazoo, the
filling station agent took his regu-
lar four minutes to fill the gaso-
line tank; and at Benton Harbor,
Borck waited three minutes for a
pilot-a man familiar with the
route into Chicago, who was to
have met them there but missed
connections
In the first hour, 525 miles were
chalked up; the first two hours
showed total of 1913 miles. The
car then ran into numerous towns
with heavy early morning traffic,
and the third hour showed a total
of 1915 miles. Then the ice on
the roads became worse, and at the
end of 5 hours the car had totalled
1858 miles. Along the lake the
roads were good, and the last
stretch was made at full speed
wherever there was a clear road
Subtracting the IL minutes time,
the New-Day Jewett covered 297
miles in 5 hours, SO minutes.
The route lay through Ann Ar
Dor, Jackson, Battle Creek, Kal-
amazoo, Benton Harbor, Gary, and
South Chicago.
Borck maintains that with good
road conditions, his time would
have been much less AS it was,
he gives credit for his success not
to the speed of the New-Day Jew
EFT so much as to it's responsive
ness and easy handling. Many
speedier car would have failed to
make the record that day-but the
new Paige product won out through
it's ability to stop quickly and
smoothly under control of it's four
wheel brakes, and to regain maxi
mum speed quickly, because of the

A photographers fiash-light far
ed at a. M, December 10, at the
Michigan Central station, Detroit.
The echoes of it's muffled report
were drowned by the roar of the
exhaust from a suddenly opened
throttle. Early morning workers
and travellers turned to look, and
were just in time to see the ruby
tail-light of gray-green automo-
bile swinging from the station
plaza into Michigan avenue.
Just hours minutes later, the
same car, a New-Day Jewett, drew
up at the curb of the Illinois Cen
trail station, Chicago, 297 miles
away. The driver handed a card
to P. H. Nugent, office manager of
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany, who certified to it's time of
arrival, adding his Endorsement to
the signature of G. H. Manners, as
sistant station master of the Michi-
gan Central station, Detroit, who
had time-stamped the card at 5
a. m.
That little card tells the tale of
the New-Day Jewett's successful
attempt to beat, from terminal to
terminal, the time Of the Michigan
Centrals crack Detroit-Chicago ex-
press, the Wolverine Limited The
trains time is hours, 35 minutes,
and the New-Day Jewett had cut
80 minutes off it's time, despite hav-

er than the rail line.
o. B. Borck, experimental engin-
eer of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
company, piloted the Jewett on its
record-breaking dash, accompanied
by r. COnkling Fitch, staff CORES
pondent of the Detroit Times, as
observer.
The Jewett's time not only sur
passes the best railroad time, but
establishes a new motor car rec
ord from terminal to terminal with
six miles within the city of De-
troit and fourteen miles in Chica-
goa total of twenty miles running
to high speed.
Thus did the New-Day Jewett,
within a week of it's presentation
to the public, enter the lists of
cars of spectacular performance
ability.
The life of a newspaper CORES
pondent is replete with thrills, but
Fitch reported some new ones.
Dashing along for hours at an aver
age speed of 81 miles an hour,
which means much higher speed for
much of the time, is thrilling
enough in itself. When, however,
the speed is made in total dark
ness, it gains something in thrills,
Fitch admits he wished for day.
light to come, and regretted that
the test was made on one of the
longest nights of the year.
When daylight came, Fitch wish
ed it hadn't. 1t revealed that the
roads were covered with thick
coating of frost, veritable layer
of ice. The psychological effect
was not SO good.
If daylight hadn't revealed the
ice, something else would have.
Once the car turned tail and came
to stop headed back toward De-
troit; another time it went off the
road sidewise And here and there
as Borck pushed his car ahead,
slowing only at the sharp turns,
they passed other automobiles that
had gone to the ditch.

includes II minutes consumed in
