set in the one position.

An Important Resource

AL llllUO1 VQllV ASNOONANS
However much or little may come of it. the conference
on child health and protection now being held In wash
ineton at least brings forcibly to the attention OF tne
nation its greatest single resource.
The children of the world are more important tnan al
of the other things in it-not excepting the adults' upon
them. and upon the way the adults rear and protect
them. depends the development Of civilization.
Most of us have had sufficient experience to gauge tor
ourselves our own capacities. Most of us know that we
n.vor will, he eeniuses: that our chances for fame and
fortune are slight; that the best CONTRIBUTORS we ca'
r,ere n society and the advancement Of the race will be
nnnv indeed when compared with the possibilities which
we once envisioned for ourselves.
Bnt our children represent a completely dif1erent CLASS
incation. Properly trained and aided IN their develop
ment. the children OF today may be able TO create q new
world tomorrow. We recognize Our own shortcomings
when we hope that they will be able to do better than we
have done.
Hut even In infancy, children are an impeldng force
in the world because Of the effect they have upon U.s.
The man with children dependent upon him feels more
responsibility than one who has never been a father
Women who have brought children into the world are
different. in an important and vital respect, from those
who have remained childless.
If their children are successful in the world parents
Mill feel repaid for the effort which they have given to
achieve that end. Anything which can help them IN the
.u.imnortant task Of being q parent is welcome. And so
thew look with interest upon the child health and protec-
ton conference.
The experts who meet In Washington may rest assured
that the parents Of America will support them IN any
really worthwhile projects which they may sponsor.

How the Turkey Grew a Beard

With the approach of Thanksgiving thoughts Of the
wild turkey. q stately and emblematic bird, arise and re-
call a charming Indian legend Of how the turkey got its
beard.
Old Chief Galagina, the Gobbling One, according to the
Indian legend. met the victorious tortoise returning from
his famous race with the rabbit. The tortoise was wear
ing his trophy Of victory, a scalp. about his short neck,
and the scalp was dragging In the dust.
Old Chief Galagins. after expressing his doubt to the
tortoise as to his winning the race, began to comment
upon how awkwardly the tortoise wore the trophy.
After making the humble tortoise miserable, the turkey
offered to show him how to wear the scalp gracefully.
After much persuasion the tortoise reluctantly handed
the scalp to Old Chief 0alagina. He placed it around
his neck and the hair hung gracefully from his breast.
Old Chief Galagina strutted off a few feet to let the
tortoise get q better view from various angles-and then
ran. And the tortoise has never caught up to recover
his trophy won in the rabbit race. Old Chief Galagina
is still wearing 1t on his breast.
Whatever may have been his relations with the tor
toise, it has appeared In recent years that the wild tur-
key also was nearing the end Of his race.
When the white man invaded America, wild turkey:
were plentiful. They constitute one Of the finest game
birds known and, as such. were prizes for the hunter,
Smaller birds were not molested II turkeys were to be
had and the race for existence on the part Of this species
soon became . desperate one.
Today the wild turkey is found only in a few regions
but he Is making . comeback. Conservation methods are
proving effective and soon 1t may be possible that the
wild turkey will be more plentiful in some sections o
the country.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Puffs Under Eyes
Question: Mrs. E. H. asks: "What
would cause puffiness under the
eyes2"
Answer: Puffs under the eyes are
usually caused from kidney or heart
trouble and I believe the best plan
would be for you to have a thorough
examination to determine the cause.
If you will send me your doctors re-
port I will be glad to send you advice
accordingly, If you will also enclose
a large self addressed stamped en-
velope.
SinusOidal Machine
Question: A. M. p. asks: where
can I purchase q sinusoidal machine?"
Answer: The sinusQidal electrical
machines can be purchased at almost
any surgical supply house. However,
I do not advise them for private use,
as the treatment should be admin
istered in q doctors office under the
supervision of someone who thor
oughly understands their use.
