Let the Christ Child In

The case of Madame Schwim-

Madame Schwimmer is native Of
Hnngary,a woman of about fifty
five who several years ago took out
her first naturalization papers in
Chicago. When she applied for her
second or final naturalization papers
she was refused because she had
been asked in her examination
whether. in case of attack. she
would bear arms in defense of the
country and she had replied no

In many country communities 1t
is becoming more and more the Gus
tom to makesuse OF school buildings
for variety of helpful purposes, in
addition to that for which they are
primarily intended.
Where no other building is avail
able, the. school buildings affords a
convenient place for pleasant and
profitable gatherings, such as mems
and women's clubs, boys and girls
clubs, debating societies, singings,
public speakings, entertainments
and the like.
While practically every school
house is utilized for some OF these
purposes. in many communities a
complete winter program is planned,
so as to make it a regular social
center, around which all neighbor-
hood activities revolve.
This tends to foster a spirit Of CO.
operation and neighborliness. which
is extremely beneficial. With the
adventAof radio, these gatherings
may have music and other features
of broadcast programs to enliven the
evening, at little expense.
BY systematically using these
means so readily at hand, the coun-
try school house may greatly con-
tribute to the attractiveness of rural
life.

OPPOSE Gas TAX REPEAL

The Eastern Shore County Com
missioners. Association, at its last
meeting, held in Denton, decided to
make a bittersfight against any pro-
posal to repeal the / " cent lateral
road gasoline tax in the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature. That they
would have the support of the Shore
delegation in the Assembly was in
dicated when the Legislators present
agreed to stand behind the tax as it
now is.
The proposed plans for central
almshouse on the Eastern Shore was
abandoned, and it was decided to
ask the Legislature for an appro-
priation to build home sufficient
for the entire State.
Previously Henry P. Turner,
treasurer of Talbot county, had re-
ported that Governor Richie would
be unwilling to include in his budget
sum for the construction of a home
intended exclusively for the Eastern
Shore. The Governor, Mr.. Turner,
said pointed DOT that the request
should be made to he Legislature.
"A committee, composed Of Sena-
tors Withgott, Dudley p. Roe and
Preston Beauchamp. was appointed
to draft resolution to be placed
before the Legislature. 1t is plan
ned to ask for an institution capable
of accommodating 200 persons at a
cost OF approximately $1,000 a. bed.
With the construction of such a
home. the commissioners and legis-
lators argued. the State hospitals
caring for the insane would be re-
lieved Of INDECENT patients.

SANTA CLAUSE is COMING

I'D Santa Clause is coming,

How glad we will be to see him;

He is coming down the mountains,
From the land of ice and snow,
And up and down the chimneys;
It makes him puff and blow.
He is a jolly good old fellow.
With twinkle in his eye;
Our merry hearts are bounding,
He will be here by and by.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden


YOU may have wondered what
i is the true or chief factor in
causing the death of a patient
who is suffering from some kind
of bacterial poisoning? To a
question like this great diver
sity of replies will be given.
Most honest medical men will
admit that they can offer no cer-
tain explanation.
But it is self-evident that in
these instances death results from
the patients lack of resistance to
the effects of bacterial invasion.
THE patient seemed to have no
resisting power" is phrase that
all of us have heard when a
previously healthy man succumbs
to some infection. when he has
been pole-axed, so to speak, by a
disease from which he might have
been expected to recover.
Six men may have pneumonia
and five recover, while the one
who dies may have seemed the
healthiest. What is this lack of
resistance, this subtle x" fac
tor, which determines a dangerous
downhill course or even a fatal
issue?
DIR. Ramsey British Medical
Journal holds that our success
full resistance to bacterial infec-
ton depends largely on the
orderly response of certain OF
these glands, namely, the thyroid.
the suprarenal and the pituitary
in one group and the parathy-
roids and the pancreas in 1.-The
other group.
Operative removal of one of
these glands is often fatal, or, if
not fatal, causes grave damage to
growth and to the functions of the
whole body. 1t Is only common
sense, therefore, to assume that
severe infection in the blood
stream, attacking all these glands
simultaneously. may produce
very serious result. A patient who
succumbs to a comparatively mild
disease may. therefore, have start
ed life with faulty constructed
glands, or he may have a natural
tendency to faulty balance in their
functions. Hereditary tendencies
to exist in laboratory animals, so
why not in man?
On the other hand some subtle
poison-from bad teeth. from ton
sils, from the digestive tract. or
elsewhere, may have been at work
undermining the healthy glands.
This may be a. cumulative condi-
ton in old people and may per-
haps account for senility, AS well
as explaining why the old die from
acute infections very readily.
Again, the victim may have an
unsupported vitamin deficiency.
Defect in vitamin leads to en-
lsrgement of the adrenal and pi-
tuitary and atrophy, more or less,
of the other glands. so that lack
of balance must follow. 1t seems
that lack of vitanin b definitely
interferes with. or inhibits, the
function of the thyroid. Emotional
causes may disturb the balance in
the endecrine glands.

LISTEN, WORLD!
What Are Mothers?
By Elsie Robinson

YOU MUST TEACH HIM TO
LAUGH AT HIMSELF.
A SENSE OF PRIDE AND A
SENSE OF HUMOR.
These two qualities a wise
mother should plant in her son.
But comparatively few mothers
do plant these qualities in their
sons because the artificial condi-
tons of feminine life have pre-
vented most women from acquir-
ing sense of humor or under'
standing of true pride.
A sense Of pride implies q pro-
per appreciation of your own
power and performance. 1t is not
vanity nor conceit. 1t is rather a
faith in the value and dignity OF
your own life, and it's mysterious,
latent powers. 1t Is that fighting
faith in ones own spirit when
has lifted men from cutters TO
thrones.
A sense of humor implies pro-
per understanding of your place
in the sun-AND THE OTHER
FELLOWS. 1t makes you grin
when Fate has Just knocked out
your pet, front tooth or broken
YOUR nice, new heart. 1T WILL
ALSO KEEP YOU HUMBLE
WHEN FAITH Fl A S N I
KNOCKED OUT YOUR TOOTH
OR BUSTED YOUR HEART
WHICH is EQUALLY IMPOR-
TANT AND MUCH MORE DIFF

positive virtues. They have it all

virtues.

They train boys to be careful,

Now these qualities are good
qualities-in moderation.

pie who intend to live genteel,

sufficient for people who wish to
live daring, constructive lives.
