4 Noted scientist says: There is
no tonic so uplifting and renewing as
JOY, which sets into active exercise
every constructive power of the body"
Which is simple paraphrase of the
scripture text: "A merry heart doeth
good like a medicine; but a broken
spirit drieth the bones"
In her youth, Elizabeth Barrett was
thrown from a horse and received a
serious spinal injury. A bed-ridden
invalid, her frail body gradually vast
ed away. Her friends grieved, for
they knew soon her gifted pen would
cease forever to write. Then it hap
pened that another poet, Robert
Browning, came to see her. Between
Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Brown
ing there was born one of the noblest
and one of the most passionate ro-
mances of history. And then a strange
thing happened. Elizabeth Barrett's
fragile body seemed to gather new
strength. To the utter amazement of
her friends, she left the couch to which
she had been so long confined and
walked again in the open air. Then
followed their marriage and the six
teen happy years in Italy. A new joy,
born Of wonderful love, had rescued
her from the grave that yawned be-
fore her.

SPARKS FROM AN +
OAKLAND PULPIT =
THE HEALING MINISTRY OF
THE CHURCH.

Proverbs 17:22-A merry heart doeth
good like medicine; but a broken
spirit drieth the bones.
There is a healing influence intrin-
sic in the Christian religion, and wher-
ever that religion is preached and
practiced, that influence must be felt
-unconsciously, perhaps, but none
the less effectively.
The word gospel" means glad
tidings," good news The message
Of the Savior came to the weary spir-
its and heavy-laden lives Of the an
Gent world as it comes to US today
message Of faith and hope and love,
and therefore a message of joy. ON
it came to them with the freshness,
the charm, the power of something
surprisingly new. The early Chris
tians had not been inoculated against
the contagious enthusiasm of the Cos
pei as many modern disciples have
been, by previous prophylactic Sun
day school doses. Christ came, the
Light of Life, bursting, an etfulgence
of glory unspeakable, through the
gloom and cynicism and hopelessness
Of the Roman Empire. The apostles
who carried the message were men Of
radiant personality; and the tired, dis
illusioned devotees of pagan shrines,
who called in vain to dead gods who
did not hear, could not resist the con-
tagion Of their joy.
No wonder we read that the blind
received their sight, the lame walked,
the lepers were cleansed and the sick
were made whole.
And today, when the gospel of
Christ is preached and practiced ia
it's fuIness and power, it is still the
glad tidings. There is no question
about it, Jesus Christ has brought
more genuine human happiness into
this sad world than any other cause,
perhaps more than all other causes
put together.
Nov, every physician knows that
one Of the most potent medicines in
the phalmacopoeia is simple human
joy. Every physician knows that 4
radiant smile and cheerful good
morningIp do the patient as much
good as the pink pills which he leaves
to be taken every two hours.
What is true Of doctors is even
more true of nurses. An indomitablo
cheerfulness is a more important as
set for a trained nurse than a mas
terry of the technique of her profess
sion.

HOW MARYLAND MOTHERS
CAN HELP HEALTH CAUSE
Advised To First Have Children
Protected against Diseases

"How can mothers help to prevent
the spread of the catching diseases
among children at SCHOOL," is asked
and answered in a bulletin issued by
the U. S. Public Health Service, to
which Dir. R. H. Riley, Director Of the
Maryland State Department of Health
calls attention.
Mothers are advised, in the first
place, to have their children protected
against certain diseases, particularly
smallpox and diphtheria, before they
are enrolled in school. In this con-
nection, DR.. Riley points out the fact
that the Maryland law makes it COM
pulsory for parents to have their chill
dren vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore they can be received in the pub
lie schools of the State. Clinics for
immunization against diphtheria have
been held in number If schools, and
arrangements for such immunization
can always be made, DR.. Riley said,
through the Deputy or County Health
officer or through the Public Health
nurse.
But how about the other diseases ?
If child seems droopy on any par
ticular day, how is the mother to
know whether or not to send the child
to school? For her guidance, in max
ing her decision, two principles are
laid down: first, the interest of the
child; second, the interest of the chill
dren of the neighbors, considering all
fellow-patrons of the school as neigh
bors.
For the child's own sake, as well as
to prevent what may be the beginning
of catching disease from spreading
to the other children, the child should
be kept at home and the family doctor
sent for if any of the following symp-
toms are present:
Fever, sore throat, diarrhea, severe

FIlitNCE CAPITAL
MOD|FIES POLICY
Also Speeds Drive on
Workers Wages
BY JOHN L. SHERMAN

DIV JOE1IN L.. S1rEhIIAI
Informed circles here are viewing
with considerable doubt the an
nouncement that the Chicago Fed
eral Reserve Bank has increased its
rediscount rate from A IL to 5 per
cent primarily as a further curb on
the speculative wave which has
flowed over the country particu-
larly on the New York stock market.
1t is admitted here that the at
tempt to decrease brokers' loans,
which form the basis for specula-
ton in securities may be one of the
factors in the present policy of the
Federal Reserve Bank. 1t is pointed
out, however, that previous to this
month these loans had decreased by
nearly half billion from an earlier
peak. The reason for the present
policy must be looked for in another
direction, it is stated.
Aimed At Prosperity"
The policy of the Federal Reserve
Bank which for over four years has
been to maintain "easy money" was
motivated, it is declared. by the de-
sire to maintain prosperity" Easy
money, free credit, extension of in
stallment buying, these it was be-
lieved would tend to maintain the
upward trend of business.
The general aim, it is understood,
is to restrict credit, force down
prices and hence wages and thus
"solve" the critical price question
at the expense of the working class.
This is the meaning of the increased
discount rates. Other reserve banks
will follow the lead of the Chicago
branch which in the past has been
the first to put into operation any
changes.
