Link With Past

As an interesting illustration Of the
space of time that may be covered by
two or three lives I should like to re-
fer to the case Of lady of eighty-six
years living in Essex, whose father
was seventy-six years old when she
was born. 1t will be noticed that her
father was born in 1865, the year in
which the stamp act was passed
which, In spite Of Its repeal. led some
years later in the separation of this
country from the United States Of
America. In his childhood he must
have been living alone with old folk,
who dated back to the close of the
reign of Charles II. AS contemplate

POLITICIANS BLAME PEOPLE

Governmental economy is sur
passing issue in state politics-state
debts having increased $7S,713,OOO
in 1926 over debts of 1925.
Taxpayers and homeseekers are
learning to shun states that do not
keep within their budgets and heap
up net debts.
About $8,OO0,0O0,00O is now tlow-
ing annually through the state and
municipal governments, and officials
exist who still expand functions and
swell the outgo.
One of the accurate and pains
taking newspapers has found only
IA states living within their budget
requirements, and sums up the stu
alton thus:
while extravaganza is but sim
gle factor in the skyward flight of
state taxes, substantial saving can be
effected through prudent expendi-
ture and the careful guarding of the
taxpayers dollar. The continued
prosperity of the country should not
be used as vehicle for government
al excuses, but rather as an oppor-
tunity to economic to lower taxes. "
p The politicians gliby blame the
people for voting higher taxes and
larger appropriations. Let us show
them we are not guilty.

AS WINTER APPROACHES, HEED
THIS ADVICE

Promote fire prevention and pro-
tect your property and family.
Last year over $1,000 worth OF
property was burned every minute
and life was lost every S5 minutes.
Clean property seldom burnside
away with rubbish and junk.
Careless smokers burned $30,O00,-
900 worth of property last year.
Keep matches in metal boxes
where children cannot reach them.
Don't keep ashes in wooden boxes
or deposit them against wooden
buildings or partitions.
Don't change your electric wiring
without consulting competent elec-
trician.
Don't hang electric light cords on
nails.
Be careful with electric fiatirons
and always use with signal light.
Use metal protection under all
stoves and protect woodwork where
stoves or furnaces are close to walls.
Don't pass stove pipes through
ceiling, roofs or wooden partitions.
Have all flues cleaned, examined
and repaired at least once year.
Every open fireplace should have
screen.
Don't connect gas stoves, heaters
or hot plates with rubber hose.
| Don't use gasoline or benzine to
cleanse clothing near an open flame,
light or fire. Use nonintiammable
cleaner.
Don't use kerosene, benzine or
naphtha in lighting fires or to quick
on slow fires.
Don't use liquid polishes near
open lights. Many such compounds
contain volatile infiammable oils.
Don't go into closets with lighted
matches or candles.
Remember that there is always
danger in the discarded cigarette and
cigar stub.

LET CHILD LEARN
VALUE OF MONEY
Highly Important Point in
Education.

"How can we make the younger
members of our family value the dol
lar" writes q mother. Eve asked
Adam that question the first time Cain
wanted a dime to buy new string
for his bow at the Ten Cent store.
II don't dare let Johnnie buy his
own Clothes" writes fond mother,
because he gets such poor values for
his money" OF course, Johnnie is up
against 1t. He has to wait until he Is
almost man before he learns how to
buy and get his moneys worth; before
he learns that money is trust and
has to be earned by some one before
it is spent.
There are some things that parents
must do If they want their children
to have a sense of money value.
Give your child some work to do
and pay him just what he earns. It
was wise father who said he would
give anyone dollar who would give
his boy a chance to earn a quarter.
Every child should have a part in
planning the family budget. That ex-
perience will teach him the need Of
care in the spending Of money. The
time to begin with your child is at two
years Of age. Ingram into his system
the fact that every bite Of food he
eats and every piece Of clothing he
wears is bought by toll.
At twelve years of age every child
should have an allowance to pay all
his own necessary expenses. He should
have help in buying, at first, but
should soon be given responsibility
and taught to manage bank account.
You don't teach boy to handle a
bucksaw by precept alone; you give
him a saw and pile of wood and tell
him to go to work. No girl learns to
sew by watching mother; she must
sew, make mistakes and correct them.
undermining one Of Poor Richards
sayings-"He who spends II cents a
day idly spends idly more than $50 a
year, which Is the price of the use of
$1,000" Everybody realizes that $1,000
is worth while, but we pay little at
tention to II cents day.
Be fair to your boy and to your girl
and give them sounder understand
ing and a broader vision of the value
and use Of money than your genera
ton has had. - Peoples Popular
Monthly.

FORESTS ARE FOR USE

Forests are grown for use, as are
other yields from the earth produced
by the effort of mankind, and not
primarily for their beauty and other
Incidental consideration. This prin-
ciple is pointed out by the Alabama
Commission of Forestry in connec-
ton with various proposals that tim
Der trees should not be cut but
should be allowed to remain stand
ing indefinitely.
A thriftily growing forest is a
beautiful sight and contributes many
collateral benefits to the citizens OF
the community. However. a field
golden with ripened grain or white
bursting cotton bolls is also beauti-
full, but all of these things are grown
to be harvested and used and not
primarily on account of their beauty.
Forestry is the business of grow
ing for use, and when secondary
considerations become the more i'm
portant, the procedure is not forest
ry but something else. The inciden-
e1A pCuCAto uCI1tOu 1IOu lOT6SLS,
such as hygenic influences, water
shed protection and recreation, are
far too important to be ignored, and
If the latter is undertaken on a sub
stantial scale no one need fear that
there will ever be lack of the con-
tingent advantages that properly ap-
peal to large classes of citizens.
This is also true in Maryland but
what the Departments wants to get
across is that the trees that are ripe
and on the down grade should be
used, not the trees growing in their
prime and making wood. You will
not cut the grain while it was still
green. M
Also in some places the old trees
should be left for esthetic purposes
You notice in the Alabama article
that it specified timber trees.

"Medicine" Didn't Work

Langkuk, king of the Angas tribe
in northern Nigeria, according to
Godfrey Barkas in the Wide World
Magazine, controlled his own and sew
eral neighboring tribes. He was not
popular, but he had useful "medi-
cine" which was believed to render him
proof against any spear, arrow or
knife-thrust, and this was implicitly
believed in even by the tribes whose
necks chafed under his yoke. One day,
in 1918, however, he was ambushed
and seized, and in Difference to his
"'medicine" was trussed up like a
fowl and boiled in huge earthenware
pot.

In the eight years from 1917 to
1925 the per capita consumption OF
milk in the United States increased
from 42.2 gallons to 54.S gallons.
Most of this increase was in the cit
les, where health officials stressed
the value of clean, safe milk. In
the same period ice-cream produc-
ton increased 53.7 per cent, but the
general supply of milk increased to
such degree that the proportion
used for ice-cream merely changed
from S.3 per cent to 3.S per cent.
At present approximately half of the
milk in the United States goes for
household use.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED

"In urging parents to have their
children protected from diphtheria
by incubation with toxin-anti-toxin,
DR.. r. H. Riley, Assistant Director of
the State Department of Health and
Chief of the Bureau of Commune
able Diseases said "Now that the
schools have opened and the children
are mingling together again in large
numbers, We can expect the usual
flare up of the catching diseases,
among them, diphtheria. In toxin
anti-toxin, we have a means of pro-
tecting children from that dread
disease and parents who want to
have their children safeguarded
should have them given the neces-
sary three treatments.
'Diphtheria usually starts with a
sore throat. Just how dangerous an
apparently simple case of sore throat
may be and how many lives may be
threatened by it, is illustrated by an
experience we had in Maryland two
years ago. 1t was entirely due to
the prompt action of the principal of
one of the county schools in report
ing the absences from "sore throat"
and the immediate response of the
Deputy State Health Officer OF that
District assisted by the local public
health nurse, that an outbreak that
endangered whole school and that
might have cost a score of lives was
checked and controlled.
within ten days seven cases of
so-called "sore throat" developed in
the school. The first victim was one
of the older boys. The next was the
boy who sat Immediately in front of
No. 1. No.. 3 sat in front OF No. 2.
Numbers 4 and were members of
the same class No. and were
brothers in another class but they
were neighbors of No. and rode to
school in the bus with him.
"Soon after the first group had
been taken sick, the principal report
ed the absences to the Deputy State
Health Officer who got on the job
Immediately. Threats were examin-
ed and cultures were taken to the
State Laboratory. Tests made there
showed that all Of the absentees had
diphtheria. Further inquiry indi-
Gated that all seven cases had devel-
oped from an undiscovered Casa
young white girl who had been i'll
and who was employed at the home
of the first child who was taken sick.
Sixteen days after her recovery the
boy came down with 'sore throat"
After being at home for eight days,
the boy returned to school, Within
few days, through the usual con-
tacts-the exchange of pencils, swap
ping of apples of marbles or other
treasurers, sneezing without using
handkerchief-the rest of the
gang" caught the disease
Fortunately for all these child
rem, and for all who were in contact
with them, the seriousness of the ap-
parently simple sore Threats was dis
covered in time. and there were no
deaths. But it would have been
much safer for everybody concerned
if every one of these children had
been "immunized" that is, protected
against diphtheria by the means that
are readily available"

Brasil Gets Immigrants

Special inducements offered by Bra
I'll to immigrants are attracting many
foreigners to that country. In the
state of Sac Paulo alone last year
nearly $1,000 new residents were
greeted, an increase of $4,000 over the
arrivals of 1925, the highest figures
since the World war. To maintain a
constant supply Of agricultural labor
for the coffee plantations, Sac Paulo
furnishes free transportation for the
workers, their families and baggage
from their homes in Europe to Brazil
In Brazil food. lodging and medical
attention at the immigration station,
and free transportation to the final
destination are also supplied.
