Sketches

They said he was lazy young
man - his neighbors = because he
didn't work. He felt their insinuat-
ing looks as he passed by them on
the streets. He knew that the grocer
would refuse to extend credit to his
family any more. And his rent was
long overdue. He had endured the
privation and the humiliation as
long as he could.
Laboriously he wrote to the Fam
lily Welfare Society.
The worker who came to see the
family found that emergency relief
was necessary. She also decided
that a doctor would probably know
more about this lazy" young man
than his neighbors, so she took him
to a clinic. Treatment failed to re-
lieve the rheumatism" which he in
sisted he had, and so he was
X-rayed. Thus they learned that
his laziness was due to a serious case
of tuberculosis of the bones, and
that he ought not to work for a
year. The treatment continues and
a weekly allowance for the main
tenance of the family has been ar
ranged.
Moreover, the theory of 'laziness"
which the neighbors entertained has
been entirely dispelled. The little
family has come to taste the sweet
ness of sympathetic understanding
and now and then goodies from
some neighbours kitchen.
Help for this young man and his
family was possible because of

there any reason to argue that
other players do not figure to con-

Cardinals, who have caught the idea
and started winning spurts of their

Three leading pitchers improved
their records. Ted Lyons, of the
White Sox, won his ninth game in a
row and his twelfth OF the season;

up his eighth consecutive victory.

Joe Harris, whose hobby this year
is collecting base hits, got three of

their foods from the markets, know that the cultivated crops and vegetables cannot compete with the devouring weeds and that the farmer and gardener are given the cultivated plants to fight their battles for them.
 Illness is the weed in the hu- man body. like that in the veg etable kingdom, it should be extracted by the roots before it's treacherous vines sap the strength of the whole body. Every disease and disorder of the human body has its symp- toms by which it's presence may be noted, so those who neglect to root out their illness es in their incipiency are like the shiftless and negligent farmer and gardener.
 The most insidious and treach- erous weed" in the human body is cancer. It takes a ter rible toll in human lives an- nually because it has been left to "kill the garden" Like the weed in the field this outlaw growth starts in a small and inconspicuous way and in the beginning gives but slight warning of it's presence. Left to itself the cancer eventually becomes distributed through out the body and lives at the body's expense. If not remov- ed in time it overgrows the normal healthy life in it's vi- cinity and causes the death of it's victim--as the weed de- stroys the farmers valuable crops.
 Recognizing the presence and the evil of disease it behooves all humanity to deal with it as the farmer deals with the weeds in his fields. A good gardener hoes his garden as rapidly as the weeds appear.
