They Paid Tribute

A ND so it is not fantastic to assume that Kilmer
n wrote Trees" at some period in his life when
he coOped up in New York flat and saw
from his window nothing but one of those poor
city wafs-a backyard saplng. And it took a lot
Of language to glorify that poor sprig into the
estate of Gods best gift to man.
I must confess that Trees has never been
among my favorite poems. It's thematic idea re-
pels me. Poems are not made by fools. Keats was
worth his weight in cord wood, and Shelley
more than many naples Oaks have lived and
died and gone to Grand Rapids without creating
such a sig as moved the earth when great Walt
Whitman cut down.
And of course it didn't help Trees" very much

slightly obscene spectacleS of prohibition that

thetic Sin until the song had ended.
I think there was a vague notion along Broad
way that Trees" something out of the hymn
book. In some curious way it also got itself tied
up with Mothers Day ia the mind of the general
public At any rate. the notion that the man
who laughed smirked talked while Trees
was being sung showed himself to be the sort of
son who wouldn't pay his mothers dice debts.

the stage. She didn't know
what she had done, but she
realized our approval and
basked in it.
I Immediately sent the orderly
across the road with the good
news to Mrs. Dionne, hoping that
she would come at once to see
and admire.
Perhaps she, having had so
many babies before, did not think

tie Marie got a tooth and then
they came thick and fast. And
during all this period we never
had any trouble with crying or
fretting.
The Dionne babies cut their
teeth as they grew their hair and
fingernails. 1t was all as natural
for them as it is for a puppy to
open his eyes, and it never need
be any other way.
Mothers are all too prone to lay
any upset to teething. That is
grossly unfair. The trouble may
be Indigestion from careless feed
ing or fatigue from careless
handling.
One great danger there is, how
eyer, that every person connected
with the care of baby must rec
ognize and guard against. That
is fear. You must shield a baby

Your Health

W bid, he is probably approaching the condition
called nervous breakdown" which doctors dignity

Sometimes nervous breakdown follows over
indulgence in alcohol. There are actually cases in
which real disease in the brain is associated with
these symptoms, but In the majority of cases ner-
vous breakdown is a mental condition primarily
Typically, if the case concerns a woman she

husband and a good home. The children just

But still she goes right worrying and giving
concern to every one about her
In cases sudden emotion such as the
death of loved person, the loss of great amount
OF money, or oveTwork may be the preciptatng
cause. In other 1t may be alcohol tobacco or
an acute infectious disease.
COMET1MES the victim develops fear without
- any definite conception of the object feared.
In certain cases the fear is attached to sons
organ of the body. Thus the person concerned is
afraid that he will get cancer that he will sud-
denly drop dead of heart disease

and in many instances no emotional cause can be
detected by the sick person himself.
In such event it may be necessary to have long
conversation with the patient, to learn the back
ground of his condition.

OF course the physical disturbance should be
overcome by the usual hygiene. which consists of
encouragement to the person who IS affected not

digestion.
The appetite for food tobacco and for sexual
activities should be definitely under scientific control

The Dionne babies are the most
vivid and convincing proof that
these laws and principles are not
only right but necessary in a
practical way. OF course they can
more easily be carried out in hos
pitfalls and clinics, where they have
all modern equipment. Nobody
denies that.
But the great point that the
case of the Dionne babies and
their first year proves is that any
baby anywhere in America with
the correct handling can gain
health.
Five prematurely-born babies in
a small unequipped farmhouse in
Northern Ontario during the most
critical three and a half months
of their lives got the simple proper
care that every baby born can
have.

A S q matter Of fact. it in q speakeasy that
~ my deep and abiding dislike of Trees" was
firmly established. l happened into the place one
night when not more than three or four other Gus
toners we're present. The tenor sang Trees" The
people at the other table bowed their heads and
then resumed their conversation, which had some
thing to do with horse called Irish Bullet.

And against the grain / applauded. The tenor
got the notion that Trees my favorite song.
He also heard that was newspaper man and
proceeded from that into Singularly false rea-
sonng His mental process was something like this:
Most of the people in this Joint just mugs like
Fatsy and Gyp and Big Badly, but that Howard

And whenever | came in the tenor would drop
whatever he doing make the orchestra stop

I was committed to applauding. and ! couldn't stay

and he would cash my checks Still I did grow
bitter. In fact, I'm glad they chopped down that
