Director of the State Department of
Health, advised every grown-up to
form the habit, if he or she has not al

regular intervals, to find out how eff

care or to reinforcements that may
be necessary.
"The best way for grown-ups to
keep fit" DR.. Fulton said, ''is to fol-
low the example set by the up-to-date
business concerns and to form the
habit of taking stock and of checking
up at regular intervals-at least once
year-on his or her physical assets
or liabilities. A business concern en-
ploys a bookkeeper or an auditor who
has been especially trained for that
particular job. In the same way, the

BOLSHEVIST DEFEAT.

Bolshevism, as usual, overplayed its
hands in China. Seeking arrogantly
to Bolshevize that great empire, it
has ended in big disaster for itself.
China, aroused at last, kicks out the
meddling Muscovites.
Soviet Russia did not start the Ma
tionalist movement, but came when
it saw that movement winning, and
tried to turn the success to its own
ends. 1t carried things with high
hand. It's domination led to the dis
ruption of the Nationalist party, and
the temporary retirement of the great
Nationalist oldier-statesman, Chang
Kai Shek.
The red emissaries were expelled
from Picking by Chang Tso Lin, ruler
of that conservative capital. They
grew all the holder in Canton, the
liberal southern capital, until finally
Russian Communists led their Can
tonese converts in an orgy of assassi-
nation, pillage and destruction.
That was too much. The Chinese
leaders who stood for genuine Ma
tionalist principles turned on the reds
and gave them a dose of their own
medicine.
Atrocities, no doubt, have been COM
mitted in Canton in the name of Ma
tionalism. They are regarded as can
ceiling the atrocities inspired by Rus
sian leadership. Russian Communist
propagandists have been executed
along with Chinese reds, without trial
The others are ordered out of the
country. Moreover, the Nationalist

MRS. ELIZABETH S. YODER.

Mrs. Elizabeth Soldiers Yoder, wild
ow of the late Solomon Yoder, died at
her home near Niverton, Pa, Wednes-
day morning, after an illness of more
than a year. Mrs. Yoder was a
daughter of the late Daniel Brenne-
man and was born at Bittinger, Gar
rett county. She was 70 years of age
and is survived by two sons, Lyman
and Earl Sellers, of Lafayette, o.,
and two daughters, Mrs. John w. Ma

water, of Minnesota. Three sisters,
Mrs. George w. Engle, Baltimore;
Mrs. Uriah Yoder and Mrs. Leah
Brenneman, and one brother, Samuel
Brenneman, all of near Grantsville,
also survive. Funeral services were
held at the Amish church in Niver-
ton, Pa, of which she was member
on Friday morning. Interment was
made in the Lutheran cemetery at
Bittinger.

proach to a real government that
there is in China, sewers diplomatic
and commercial relations and expels
Russian consular officers.
China at last stands on her own
feet, determined to govern itself. She
thus justifes her liberal revolution in
the eyes of sane governments which
themselves have been pestered, in less
degree, by the same arrogant group
at Moscow. 1t is the worst blow Boil
shevism has suffered yet, in a world
where it is nowhere very popular.
Having definitely and forcibly re-
pudiated the Moscow crowd, the Ma
tionalist government itself qualities
for recognition by respectable powers
as the best hope of China.

Zone of the greatest benefits aris-
ing from tuberculosis clinics that are
held each month throughout the State,
comes through the finding of incipient
cases-that is, the cases that are in
the early stages and are capable of
great improvement and possibly of be-
ing completely arrested. Of equal i'm
portance is the discovery of other in
cipient conditions at these examina-
lions. For instance, some form of
heart trouble was found to exist in
the case of 221 persons out of the
total of 1851 examined at the clinics
held this past year. Early discovery of
these conditions and care in following
the doctors advice will help to pre-
vent much suffering and to prolong
many lives.
young mothers have found out
that the best way to keep their ba-
bies well is to have their doctor see
them regularly, WHILE THEY ARE

school children as means of KEEP
ING THEM WE'LL is AIS much a mat
ter of course as any other part of the
school routine. The periodical ex-
animation of the grown-up, WHILE
HE is WE'LL, is just as important for
the grown-up."
