Good evening.
 .O--O--o WINTER LINGERS IN THE LAP OF SPRING
"A SMILES TIFF THING.

You've heard of winter lingering
 In the lap of spring, my dear, And evidence, that's most concrete
 Is offered you this year, With dear old Easter Sunday.
 Knocking at our very door. The ground is blanketed witl:
 snow.
 The while we ask. what for. What for, why that's the mystery,
 But years ago, friend, Told me, and repeat the tale.
 It rolls on. end on end. He told me that you get so much
 From winters standard slate. And if you miss it early, well
 You're bound to get it late l guess this sage of years ago, Knew well the things he said, We had an open winter. sure
 But now, oh what head, King Winter hates to leave us. The old tad wants to cling, think he knows its leap year, and Stays in the lap of spring. o--O--o Now the clergy Is attacking the Easter rabbit. We'll, going after rabbits is an exciting sport. o-O--o
 Ministers claim the rabbit
 has come to mean almost any thing at Easter time. Whats the matter, are they afraid of
 competition? There's no moro harm in a rab- bit at Easter than q Santy Claus at Christmas. I suppose next De- cember they'll get after Santy-- and leave him holding the bag as usual. St Valentine will probably be the next and after that
 they'll tackle the Thanksgiv- ing turkey and hot cross buns
 oil Good Friday. It's great
 world. o--O--o
 And to wind up the campaign we can expect an offensive against the idea of gals in leap year asking boys to do Lohengrin while the organ blares forth its triumph. And we always thought rabbits foot was lucky-until the ministers got busy again. ., MERCI BEAU COOP, SY MON | AMI

EXPLAINING THE GERMS

Some one sends in 0 cult headers pamphlet
 or magazine In which there appears an essay on "Colds" and in this essay definition IS offered. I've been bawling for years at the
 health authorities who issue public bulletins
 about "Colds" or "The Common Cold, in the
 vain effort to persuade one of these authorities to defno "The common cold' if he really be-
 lieves there is such ailment or disease No
 use The wise ones refuse to commit them
 selves Their position is satisfactory as 1t IS;
 the general public knows what cold is or
 course. and probably thinks I'm daft when
 Well, this cult healer's definition is wordy enough, but pretty vague after all. As mat l ter of fact, the essayist says, a cold IS an in- hammation.
 i, There you are. What more could anybody | ask? Appendicitis is an inflammation, but we | must not be too critical. The main thing here | Is to explain the germs for according to the cult healer there are lot of germs mixed up with a cold. Oh. yes indeed, vast quantities or
 germs, but the germs are scavengers, that's all! Why, the cult heaer goes on. it Is well known
 scientific fact that such germs are always pres ] ent in the body
 Which is ali hooey. No scientific authority
 has shown that disease germs can be present | in the tissues of the body without producing the specific disease of which they are the cause. | Here the glib healing cult writer has stepped in over his depth. He has merely repeated in | parrot fashion old dodge which might serve | very well in debate between couple of char | latans but can scarcely entertain anybody who knows pathology or bacteroogy. The theory | that all kinds any kind of disease germs
 may be present in the body in some circum-
  l no foundation In fact.
 Another cult propagandist delivering a lec- | ture under the auspices of the local organiza- | ton of his employers made similar crack | about disease germs being merely scavengers which follow the disease, not the cause of the l disease This shopworn sally drew laugh | from his ignorant listeners. But if any of them | had been bright enough to think for himself | he might have asked how about cooties-does | a man itch because cooties have come to him l or do the cooties come because the man itches | Likewise does child develop diphtheria or
 scarlet fever because the germs of the specific disease have entered his body or do the germs l of the proper kind hurry in because the child | has developed symptoms of the disease? How | poinstaking and considerate of our peculiar | medical whims these disease germs must be- theynever make mistakes but always get in l the right place at the right time, so to speak. This cult healer had the nerve to make an attempt at definition of "cold, at any rate, | and that is more than any medical authority
 or health authority of the present era has.
 The old timers who still prate about colds
 and "1he common cold" will never dare to de- | fine tke condition they have in mind for of
 course they have nothing in mind.
