Habit, custom and tradition have
fixed In our minds all sorts Of con-
victions about things. "A notable ex-
ample is the popular idea that
rheumatism Is the result Of expos
ure to weather. Cold and moisture
are supposed to produce the symp-
toms usually called rheumatic"
OF course, scientific physicians no
longer hold to this belief. They
recognize rheumatism aS merely the
evidence Of some sort OF infec-
ton. They do not dispute that cold
and damp weather may increase
the pain, but the disease itself they
regard rs being due to an infec-
ton.
1t isn't easy to get away from
ideas we have held all our lives. We
hate to be convinced that scarlet
fever and smallpox are not trans
mitted through the air, but are con-
tracted only by direct physical con-
tact with the afflicted one.
Where Is there a man or woman
past fifty who cannot recall running
past a neighbours house and On the
other side Of the street at that. a
house where there was a sign,
measles" or "diphtheria'? You even
held your breath and perhaps
pinched your nose tightly SO not 10
breathe in the "miasm."
But we are forced to accept these
new tangled ideas about the CON
tagious" diseases. So we must revise
our thought about rheumatism. We
must seek some local disease, in ton
sis. teeth, or elsewhere, 70 find
the real cause Of this ailment.
There are various types Of rheu-
matiSm. 1t may be active or
chronic; it may be muscular or in
the joints. 1t may be called 'lum-
bago" or stiff neck" IL has va
rious names, out no matter where
it is or what form 1t takes the
causes are the same.
Many young children have ade-
noids and diseased tonsils. Iney
may be harboring dangerous germs.
Not only rheumatism, but also heart
disease may be traced to adenoldS
and tonsllS.
You should talk with your doc
tor If you suspect trouble Of this
sort. Early attention may spare
your child all sort Of pain and in
convenience. Rheumatism may be
headed OFF and a lifetime OF COM
fort provided by your foresight.
A mouthful Of bad teeth, with
pussy gums and assesses, will lay
the foundation for much distress.
If the joints or muscles r sore
to the touch, or painful, take pains
to find out what is wrong. Some
remote disturbance, easily correct
ed by proper treatment, may be re-
sponsible for unnecessary disease.

The Children's Day program of
the Salem M. E. Church will be Civ
en- at tie morning service on June
9th. under the direction of Miss
Lindseth, the director of Religious
Education. The purpose in observ-
ing Children's Day throughout
Methodism is to exalt Christian edu-
cation, to turn the aspirations of
children and youth toward higher
education with a view to becoming
useful members of the church. To
this end the Methodist Church has
established the Student Loan Fund,
which each year aids thousands of
worthy Methodist students in secur-
ing college education who otherwise
would be greatly handicapped in
furthering their education. Our
Young people of Methodism can be
aided only to the extent that the
churches respond to the call of the
Student Loan Fund and give a gen
erous offering on Childrens Day for
this purpose. Let us respond to
this call and make Children's Day a
red-letter day in our program for
youth.
The last classes of the weekday
school of religion will be held at the
church on Friday May S1st. This
will be Visitation Day and the par
ents and friends of the children are
invited to visit the classes which
will be held as follows:
900 to 1000 A. M.
HOO to 1900 A. M.
LOO to 200 P. M.

sweet clover is a better soil i'm
proven than the July crop. AS a
matter of fact, it makes little diff

is better to wait until July. Plow-

before the clover is dead ripe.
