HEALTH SERVICE

When children are examined, not
infrequently they are found to have
infected tonsils and adenoids or bad
teeth, and not infrequently the loss
of appetite is associated with such
subacute infections.
The child who loses his appetite
because of subacute chronic disease
usually is quiet, placid, resigned,
and obedient.
The child who loses his appetite
because of some mental maladjuSt-
ment is irritable, noisy, given to
fits of temperament and is q much
greater problem than the one whose
appetite has gone simply because of
physical disease.

moval of the infection through
proper control usually will clear up
the disturbance and the child will
begin promptly to eat. Such child

MOZART'S BIRTH
Jan. "a

0N Jan. 27, 1856, Wolfgang
" Amadeus Mozart, renowned
German composer, was born at
Salzburg, Austria.
It is doubtful If more brilliant
child prodigy existed before Mozart
or since. At the age of 5 he had
composed several minuets and at 6
had become 50 proficient per-
former on the piano that he made
concert tour of the leading
capitals of Europe.
Everywhere he was received
royalty. When he reached the age
of II, Mozart conducted in Vienna
solemn mass of his own COM
position.
While Mozart was spared the
misery existence that characterized
the tragic life of Franz Schubert,
he was obliged to struggle for
sustenance.
This together with repeated hostile
saIlies from jealous politicians in
Italy, made his life an unhappy one.
The circumstances surrounding
the writing Of his Requiem are
familiar in history. Feeling he
would not live long enough to COM
plete the score, he left instructions
for its completion with a pupil.
The night before he died he
summoned his favorite singers 70
his bedside and had the Requiem
sung. When the ''Lacrimosa" was
reached, the dying composer burst
into tears and closed the score.

article in The Times. am 60 years
old and have lived through both the
licensed saloon and the present
condition.
How any man can want the old
saloon back with everything to en-
tice a man to spend his money there
is something wrong. Either he
doesn't like the kind of liquor he
gets or else he can't pay the price
for same.
I was reared in a place called
Stanbough, in northern Michigan.
At that time it had 500 inhabitants
with eleven saloons and not one
church. 1 am sure at that time it
was a place of depraved people and
public places.
The miners and lumbermen that
were paid once. or twice a month
spent most of their money over the
bar, while their families went hun
CRY and half clothed. And why
did they do it? Free lunch, pool,
billiards and a red light upstairs.
Everything to entice man, where
it was warm and good place to
loaf.
Suppose man can buy drink
now and pay a large price for the
same, take chance Of being
poisoned? What fun or inducement
would that be compared to the old
fashioned saloon, with the cheap
whisky, happy half-drunk crowd
treating, eating and meeting some
of the painted damsels upstairs or
in back rooms.
In regards to getting q drink,
never saw a time yet when that was
impossible and never expect TO.
If I thought the old fashioned
saloon was coming back, I would
move to Canada where at least the
government could keep it under
control.

drink much, when he has to drink
alone and pay the price without

Several Communists, and proba-

men suffered minor cuts and
bruises.

The magistracy of the law was

It is impossible to read about
such incidents, much less witness
them, without feeling some sympa-
thy for the Communists, and disgust
for the police.
At the same time, and putting the
worst possible construction on it, the
lot of Communists in America is a
happy one, compared to that Of
anti Communists in Russia.
In Russia, it is not case of chas-
ing people off the streets, or of even
whacking them on the head with
night sticks. In Russia, they are
deprived of their property, put out
of their homes, prosecuted for their
religion, and starved into submits

Venus

MISS PROCTOR comments upon
AVA the fact that the planet Venus
is surrounded with such dense
heavy clouds that it is impossible
for astronomers to see the surface
of the planet.
This means that if the planet is
inhabited, its people live almost per-
petually under a cloud-f1lled sky.
There may be rare occasions"
she writes, when through chance
opening in the clouds they may OBJ
tain a momentary glimpse Of the

Carlyle expressed it, his rapt as
constituent at the sight we daily
witness with such Indifference.
with the free sense of a child, yet
with the ripe faculty Of man, his
whole heart would be kindled by
that sight. He would discern it well
to be God-like, his soul would fall
down in worship before it,
while the planet Venus presents
a magnificent sight to our view, yet
the inhabitants of that planet
doubtless would be unaware of our
existance, owing to the cloud-laden
atmosphere
Miss Proctor sums up the evidence
for an against the belief that Venus
is inhabited.
Astronomers are in doubt because
of the thick layer Of clouds around
the planet. 1t is pointed out, for
example, by the Mt. Wilson astrono-
mers, that there may be much more
oxygen and water vapor near the
surface of the planet than the
spectroscopic study reveals in the
outer layer of clouds.

Creed Is MerCiIeSS

MO matter what one may think
~ of it in other respects, Com
munism, as practiced in Soviet
Russia, represents the most merci-
less creed in the modern world.
1t not only strikes at the basic
principles of civilization, but it
strikes at them with the Ratchet,
the gun butt, and the broad ak.
Civilization might be willing to
compromise with it as an economic
theory, or even as an ahti-religious
movement, but never as a cult OF
pitilesS intolerance.
Communism stands forth as the
only movement in the present" day
world deliberately planning to sue
coed, not by overcoming, or con-
verting opposition, but by annihi-
lating it; that justifes the right to
kill, crush or exile until disagree
ment with its principles and tech
nique shall have disappeared.
Communism is the jungle come to
judgment, the caveman with club
in his hand, returned to earth, the
brute recognizing nothing in hu-
man progress but arithmetic.

Miss Proctor, who is herself fell
low of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety, is the daughter of a distin-
guished British astronomer and
popularizer of astronomy, the late
Richard A. Proctor.
Richard Proctor's most famous
book was Other Worlds Than
Ours" published in 1870. In it he
undertook to set forth in simple and
popular style the advances which
had been made in astronomy up to
that time.
A large portion Of the book was
devoted to a subject still of prime
interest to us, the question of
whether or not any Of the other
planets are inhabited.
In 1873 Proctor came to the United
States on lecture tour. He con-
tracted cholera in Florida and died
of the disease in New York City.

How many spoken languages and

in what country is the greatest
number found?
Frank H. Vizetelly, manager edi-
tor Of the Standard Dictionary, is
authority for the statement that
there are said to be 1924 spoken
languages and dialects in the world
distributed as follows: America,
1924; Asia, 937; Europe, SGT, and
Africa, 276." The actual number of
languages recently computed by the
French Academy is put at 2,796. The
inference is that there are 628 dia-
lects. However. it is not easy to
draw the line between a language
and dialect and philologists do not
agree on any particular classical
ton.
