perfection your individuality; and it is
individuals who psychologically make a

Dodging Debt

The road is full of thorns and stones,
and progress makes me sigh and sweat,
and still I toll on aching bones-I'd
rather walk than be in debt Oh,
many ride in limousines, in pomp and
state they journey by, while owing for
the pork and beans they bought last
April or July! And many pass in rich
sedanS, which ornament the village
streets, and yet they owe for many
cans of succotaSh and corn and beets
And some go by in open cars, and
some in roadsters throng the way, while
butchers speak of divers jars of lard for
long and deep with mire, and though
1t makes me fume and fret, and cuss
and murmur and perspire, I'd rather
walk than go in debt No man can
point to me and say, as I go toiling
up the road, He owes me for q bale
OF hay delivered at his dark abode. "
This comforts me as 1 proceed among
the brambleS, gorSe and furze, through
fens where noxiouS serpents feed, my
whiskers full of cockleburs 1t gives
me comfort while climb the frowning
tors, where dangers rife; before I'd
buy a thing on time I'd do without
1t all my life. I stub my toe against a
rock. I'm tangled in a barbed wire
fence, and yet I'd always rather walk
than owe men shillings, greats and
pence. I swim through waters dark
and dank, and am brave and hopeful
still, for no one sits upon the bank to
ask me when I'll pay my bill. l
tumble from beetling crag and fall
some seven miles or so, and no ones
there to chew the rag about the cur
rency I owe. The man who doesn't
owe red can well endure life's smaller
woes, and walk with high uplifted head
while barking shins and stubbing toes.

By WILLIAM BRADY, M. d.

have often said that no one can
honestly guarantee to cure anything,
but, of course, this doesn't nullify the
truth Of what Barnum was said to have
said.
1t is scientifically correct to say that
there is no such thing as absolute I'M
munity against any known disease.
Even q goat may have tuberculosis, even
a person who has had the measles may
have it again, though this is almost as
rare as a goat with tuberculosis. Even
a person who has been successfully vac
cinatsd against smallpox may, never
theless, have smallpox, though this,
too, Is very unusual.
Since no one Is willing to define it
I mean no competent medical or health
authority think it fair and reason
able to assume there is no definite dis
ease identified under the name of "the
common cold" Indeed, that Is precisely
why the doctors orr research students
who would tell us what causes and how
to prevent "the common cold" refrain
from telling US definitely what it Is
THE common cold" is purely q theo-
ret1cal conception, not scientific fact.
It seems to be impossible to produce q
common cold" by means of any Of the
prediSposing or cauSative factors these
near-scientistS Of the medical world
would have US accept as responsible for
the vague ailment.
1t Is absurd to imagine that any
serum, vaccine, bacteria or shots" will
immune us against colds" unless the
vaccine or bacteria is made from the
specific germs isolated by cultures from
the individual LESSONS. In other words,
you must have hair Of the dog that
bites you if you hope to acquire in this
way sufficient immunity to diminish
the frequency or the severity of the
attacks
All of our soldiers in the World War
were irnmunized against typhoid fever.
That protected them from typhoid, but,
Of course, it didn't protect them against
the flu. Immunity is always specific,
never general. One might acquire i'm
munity against, say, diphtheria, SUM-
Gent to prevent that disease in ordinary
circumstances, but it would not make
one less liable to have meningitis or
tonSillitis. Diphetheria immunity Is
effective only against the diphtheria ba-
cilluS or its toxin. It Is effective only
in sufficient degree to protect against
all ordinary infection with diphtheria.
An immunized child might conceivably
have diphtheria If exposed to an over
whelming infection, just as a person
may have measles a second time.

Gifts for Young Graduates
By LYDIA LIZ BARON WALKER.

I the gifts are intended as lifelong re-
| minders of the close of one era in their
| lives, and the commencement OF an
| other.
The members of family know what
the young folk want and If purses can
supply such gifts they are presented.
Such gifts are a bit outside the realm
of suggestion from outsiders.
Suggestions are In order. however. for
small gifts of the remembrance variety.
These range from handkerchief upward
to more expensive articles. Handker-
| chiefs can be expensive, however, If one
decides to give something really valu-
able Of this sort. A single lace hand
kerchief may cost several hundred dol
lars. Also there are exquisitely en-
broidered handkerchiefS that are de-
cidedly expensive.
There are smart ways of presenting
handkerchiefS which set them off to
such good advantage that novelty takes
the place of costliness. One way is
found IN using handkerchiefs to cos
tune a doll. One handkerchief or three
can be used.
Miss Dolly Handkerchief" can be
cut out, pasted on cardboard and
dressed. She can be tinted to further
enhance her charms. She can be traced
and cut from water color paper for
this, since this type of paper takes
color best.
Other gifts are scarfs. bags, silk
stockings, fine stationery, fountain pens,
books. etc. If the last mentioned, a VOL
ume of some subject in which the
young person is especially interested is
preferable to novel, for such a book
Is Of permanent value, while the novel
is seldom of such enduring value.

Immunity Specific and Relative.

To say that immunity is specific and
relative sounds almost as II we were
going to talk about the Einstein theory.
But immunity against disease is q sub
Ject that concerns and should interest
not going to talk about theory at all.
We're telling only what we know.
Science Is no mans tool, not even the
most erudite medical editors. Science
is knowledge Of facts. Immunity Is q
scientific fact. Resistance" is merely
a theory which was conceived long be-
fore we learned about immunity, and,
like many other old traditions or the
cries, the idea of resistance" persists.
However, there is no resistance" apart
from immunity, nor is there any essen
tial purpose served by obStinately cling
ing to the fancy of resistance"

Civiliza ton.

You have heard speakers say, This
Is an age when =" So long ago
that it belongs almost to another age,
heard James Bryce, distinguished AM
bassador from England, say, 1T has
always been an age when ." The
old order is always passing and a new
one on the horizon. But in more in
tense sense and a more comprehensive
one, this is an age when .; and to
finish the sentence, when almost every
thing is questioned, and by more people
than ever before.
This may mean that more persons are
leading reflective lives, thinking about
what they are living for, what they are
getting out of it, how they should live
and what they pay for living. Any one
discussing mental fitness must consider
deeply what it all means.
What seems to me to form the nub OF
the issue, as the psychologist sees it. is
not so much the outer scene of civiliza-
ton, or even the mass of knowledge that
underlies it and keeps it going, as the
place Of the individual in it, The real
question is, What price individualiza-
ton? What do you pay for being an
individual? What do you pay for be-
ing yourself? That's what 1t all comes
to- How strongly do you feel your own
personality?
What civilization does is to develop
..Iure and more complex individuals as
psychological specimens 1t doesn't
matter. when you lived nor where nor
how, II you lived completely with an in
