Before you had finished voting, the senate definitely
postponed all treaty debate until next month That

Here Are Rules for Care of Fin Victim

and he should not be forced to take
food, but he should have plenty of
water.
After the severe symptoms have
subsidized, he should be given plenty
of food to restore his strength, since
the disease produces prostration.
The patient should be kept warm,
but sufficient fresh air and sunlight
should be permitted to enter the
room.
It is important that the physician
watch closely for the development
of symptoms of pneumonia, the
most serious of the secondary COM
plications.
1t is very important that the pa
tient does not attempt to get up
too soon, since undue exposure in
the weakened condition lowers re-
sistance and makes secondary COM
pIications likely.

THINGS FAR OFF
ARE NOT THE BEST
ON THAT ACCOUNT


The best editorials this country
ever read were written by country
editors; the best preachers came
from the tall timber; the greatest
business men emerged from the
sticks; the writer's Of constitutions,
yesterday and the savior of this re-
public came from little places, from
the winners of battles, the SageS OF
obscurity.
We care not whom Indianapolis
employs, but it might possibly be
worth while to geC our sense of ap-
probation on straight, to end the
snobbiSh diSparagement of our own,
to cease the Shoddy worship Of the
strange, to light the torch of self
reliance, to rid ourselves Of the per-
sisting heresy that excellence in all
things is over the hills and far
away, and to teach that it abides at
our very door.

Cheap Toys
Hurts Faith
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
NEARLY everybody in the land
IN is interested in keeping up
childish faith in Santa Claus. Col
umns are written each year about
the tragedies which trusting babies
must undergo in a practical world.
Fond mothers perpetually are hav-
ing to cope with somebody who
takes a fiendish delight in inform
ing their blessed infants that There
amt no Santa Claus"
And so mothercraft clubs and
kindergarten instructors and par
ent-teacher associations meet and
discuss at length this momentous
question and agree upon the proper
method Of keeping alive our sweet
est fairy tale in the minds Of the
children.
Now and then some outspoken
soul will remind us that we aret
lying to our darlings, but we hasten
to hush her with the reply that,
after all, the spirit of Christmas is
Santa Claus. At any rate, we are
all Of one mind when it comes to
wishing our youngsters to trust this
kind of German saint
Perhaps the worst thing we have
to fight is the present-day tendency
to dress some man in cheap toys
and dead white whiskers and send
him out to mingle with the crowds
in store and street.
BY the time our little Billy has
met about three of these jovial
souls, he must wonder how Santa
whom he has vsioned as a very
busy person in December, can find
so much time to stroll about, Every
time he sees a badly fitting fan
mel suit, surmounted by masked
and somewhat repulsive face, he
must lose another long-cherished
illusion about his Christmas friend.
Our kids are sharp little persons,
and these fake Santas probably give
them many an unhappy moment
that they dare not discuss even
with mother.
The things we can not see, 1t is
said, are most precious to our souls.
Our dreams, our faith, lie deep
cherished in our hearts. Why not
leave good old Santa Claus to live in
his only rightful home, the innocent
breasts of little children? He is a
beautiful myth and beautiful myths
can not be personifed. Failure can
be the only result Of such sacrilege.

TINE only possible scientific adj
4 vice relative to the care of in
fluenza is essentially simple, since
there are no specific measures and

The person who is sick should go
to bed Immediately and should have

that he does not use the same tow

Reason

TINE most persistent folly is the
l. notion that whatever is far
away and well exploited excels the
home product, whose virtues have
never been broadcast, whether such
product be kraut, B. v. DIS or pro-
fessional services.
The most recent punk burned at
the feet of this white-whiskered
hokum is supplied by the city OF
indianapolis, which facing an I'M
usually important law suit, appears
to be of the mind that it can be
saved only by Charles E. Hughes,
John w. Davis, or Newton d.
Baker.
For a whistling station to hang
out such a signal Of distress would
excite little wonder, but for a hard
boiled state capital, presumably
adept in the polar art Of frigidly
appraising human values, to register
such childlike faith in the Surpass-
ing excellence of qualities remote
and revel so extensively in the en-
chantment of celebrity argues the
irresponsible innocence OF our
species.
This persistent confusion Of great
ness with museum value, this in
sistence on measuring ones shadow
instead of ones stature, this silly
and unceasing fawning at the feet
of notoriety proves that gulibility is
| the outstanding human quality and
advertising the first Of arts.
There are thousands OF lawyers In
America as good as Hughes, Davis
or Baker, but they have never had
their likenesses spread over limit
less canvas by the lightning artist,
politics.
There's little difference between
your home professionals and those
who devastate in more densely
populated areas.
The only time we ever saw a
famous physician from afar, he
differed totally from the attending
doctors treatment and it was
changed, the glorious visitor pocket
ing a fat fee and grabbing de-
parting train.
No sooner was he out of town
than the patient nearly died, being
saved only by the hurried recall OF
the old family doctor.
The only time we ever saw a
fleet of legal super dreadnaughts
from a distance was when our court
tried to-ease to set aside a railroad
lease.
The railroad was represented by
more lawyers than Blackstone ever
saw, almost one half of the court
room being set aside for them and
with their spats and white stuff in
their vests they radiated much for
enSic horse-radish.
On the other side sat our legal
home-guards, headed by skinny
gent, wearing boots.
And those cornfield lawyers of
ours knocked the socks off the
giants!

The Solution

1T WOULD seem after glancing
4 at this puzzle that North and
South must certainly lose two
tricks-either a heart and a spade
or club and spade. But the
spade trick need not be lost.
South leads the jack of hearts,
West covers with the ace, and
North trumps. North then leads
a low spade which South wins with
the queen.
South now leads his low heart,
North discards his annoying seven
of clubs, and East must unfortu-
nately win the trick. East must
then lead spade from his jack
nine to North's king-ten.
If West does not cover the
opening heart lead, North dis

low heart is opened and trumped,
any return lead by North will
eventually give East and West two
tricks. The spade lead is equally
futile, as he is letting the low heart
go through at the first trick.

Police Do Not BdeVs Pyromi-
 niaC Connected With BlaI6

Boston, Feb. s.7R-state and city police who have been investigat- ing the eighth incendiary church and school fires in South Boston in little more than a week were convinced today as a result of the confession of two small boys that the anti-re- ligious pyromaniac whom they had sought did not exist.
 Children's Confession
 The confession of the two children last night camel sim ultaneously with news that the churches of Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Peters Lthu- ! anian church had been threatened by small blazes.
 Earlier in the day $50 pupils had been driven from the St. Peters and St. PauTs parochial school when an ienited basketful of waste paper burned the upper floor of the build ing. Nuns succeeded in leading their charges from the structure without | disorder and the flames were ex- tinguished with loss of $2,500. Frank Fimiano. a seven year old boy whose feet do not touch the floor when he sits in a chair and who told police he had been fright ened away by the cry of cat, ad- mitted that he was responsible for historic South Baptist church last Sunday.
 On Probation
 The Fimiano lad has been on pro bation from juvenile court since last year on a charge of breaking, enter ing and larceny. and had previously been under suspicion in connection with public school fire in the vicinity. ...... ..
 Cat Scarcs Him He told officers that he had jim mied his way into the Baptist church in search of money and had lighted match in order to see his way about more clearly. When a cat meowed he dropped the match and fled, although he asserted he re- membered having ground the match under foot into a carpet.
 Fourteen Years Old
 The other boy involved by the po- lice statements was Patrick Mo- Donough. IA years old. pupil at the parochial school. He was betray- ed by his too accurate description of man he said he saw flee from the building just before the fire was dis covered.
 McDonough broke down under questioning. police said, and admit ted he didn't want to so to school any more" and that he had started the blaze in the waste paper basket by blowing lighted cigarette into 1 it.
