ASK PROMOTION
FOR GEN. LORD

For the purpose of adjusting an
inequality and in recognition OF his
services to the nation, it has been
proposed to place Brig. Gen. Her
bert M. Lord. retired, director OF
the Bureau of the Budget, on the
retired list of the regular Army,
with the rank Of major general.
In. the national defense act OF
1920. the chief of finance was to be
a brigadier general. Some years.
later this, was changed to major
general. It now appears that Gen.
eral Lord retired from the regular
Army so that he could be available
to fill the office of director or the
Bureau of the Budget. which had
been rendered him by the President.
He retired before the chief or finance,
his former office, was made a major
general 1t is now intended to give
him the rank of major general on
the retired list. which would not
affect his pay.
Representative NJ. b. Madden.
chairman of the House Approprla-
tons Committee, in discussing the
case. said that General Lord was
his "idea1 of public servant IN
whose behalf the Government can
afford to be generous. He has not
only earned the title proposed TO oe
conferred, but through his efficient
service. both in the Army and as
director of the budget. he has placed
the people Of the United States

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Christmas in the Hospital
BY FRANK H. SWEET

JIG JOHN GIBBS was happy that
- Christmas, though he lay quiet on
bed In a hospital, with a prospect of
remaining three months longer. The
doctors had decided his chances were
not encouraging, and he had come to
that conclusion himself. Then had
come the changing Of the decision.
He would live, though 1t would take
months for the mending. He could
go on again with his big enterprises,
as he had been planning. He was too
young to die, anyway, and there was
so many things ahead that he wanted
to do.
He had tried to save few minutes
by racing with a train, but the train
had been the faster. He knew about
such things. He had often read them.
He had not saved the few minutes.
They had stretched to more than three
months. But he would live, when he
had felt sure he would die. So he
was happy.
Lying there he realized there were
many visitors going through the hos
pital, for 1t was Christmas. There
were children, too. He knew by the
voices. and by the patter Of small
feet. Then he heard some one say
supposed patient had gone away, con-
valescent. Evidently they had brought
things for him, and were now looking
about for another to give them to. He
had feeling that they were looking at
him, and he closed his eyes and
feigned sleep. He did not want any
of their charity.
But lying there he had a sort of
sorry feeling for himself. He had no
children. He had been too busy in
the quest of fortune to ever marry.
The visitors walked on, and he lay
there quietly content and curiOusly
happy. He was going to live, when
he had been sure he must die. He
could go on with his work. There
was no hurry. He was young yet.
With his eyes closed, he drifted of
and was asleep. He did not hear
soft little footsteps approaching, and
II he had he would have repealed
them. He thought he did not like
children. But he did not know.
Then two little arms went around
his neck, and a childish mouth was
pressed against his, then he knew.
81 love you because you are SICK"
she whispered.
When he found she was q poor child
of one of the hospital workers, he
sent out for an armful of Christmas
gifts, and banked hundred dollars In
her name.

HOW TO KEEP WELL

There are three factors, easily avoid
ed, that cause most of the illness of
children during the Christmas season !:
1. Children eat too much candy
and suffer from Indigestion
2. Children play too violently with
new toys and become over-exicited and
nervous.
3. Children are often burned by tai
low candles. It is better to have no
lighted candles at all, unless an adult
Is there to guard the tree at all times.
These are three health suggestions
offered by the educational committee
Of the Minnesota State Medical As
ISOLATION to make the holiday season
one of happiness. The fact that chill
dren crave for candy Is no indication
that they need it, declares the health
bulletin.
while Christmas is the time q.
greatest happiness for children it car

at season of the year when there is
much sickness abroad" says the bulle-
tin.
