Dear Henry:

your own date. You will see an old
fashioned Pennsylvania farm-I was
born on it. and it has not changed
much. 1t is remote and serene. Come

abouts is lovely-soft rolling hills
with gentle slopes, and meadows with
little winding streams.
We'll show the world that men can
differ diametrically, yet eat from the
same dish of boiled ham and cabbage.
Maybe that will be useful contribu-
ton in time of so much rancor; we
can maintain our own little era of good
feeling even while the rest of the world
is filled with strife. I will argue with
you, but you shall have at least half
the time to argue with me- And If
I lose the argument-if I become one
Of those who has 'gainst Wallace
bled'-in that event I will go through
ritual Of temporary capjtulation.
III get in the accordion-it is the
nearest equivalent the farm has to
a bagpipe-and I Will sing you a
verse Of ballad which your Scotch
ancestors must have heard and maybe
sung:
" I am hurt, Sir Andrew Barton cried:
I am hurt but am not slain.
III lie me down and bleed awhile,
And then III fight again
Beyond the Schoolhouse.

TINE season Of the nativity seems
a fitting time to record the
names Of great and unselhxh
men who have saved the lives
and health of millions OF boys and
girls, who have sasailed ancient
strongholds Of bigotry and supersti-
tion, the magi Of the modern world
whose frankincense and myrhh has
been the gift Of well-being and hap
piness to multitudes of children.
They again become news on the day
which turns back the clock. They
are the great physicians who founded
the modern science Of medical care
for children.
Many lad romping around Christ
mas tree tonight wouldn't be there Il
1t weren't for the work and discoveries,
for instance, of DR.. Abraham Jacob,
who died in New York in 1919 at the
age of 80. He was the American
pioneer Of his science.
Like many innovations and adven.
turers in the world OF ideas, he served
a prison sentence. A leader in Ger.
many's mid-century movement to es-
tabltsh government, he was Jailed
during the years 1851 and 1853, in
Berlin, for high treason" He came
to America and in 1860 became pro-
fessor Of children's diseases at the
New York Medical College, the frst
chair Of the kind ever established in
the United States. In 1852 he estab.
lished in New York the first special
clinic for children. He served many
hospitals, taught, wrote, experimental
and organized for the health and well
fare of children.
Edward Jenner, the English discov-
erer OF vaccination, born in 1749, was
a student of ornitholegy, geology and
natural history, the maker Of the first
balloon in England, and did not qualify
as physician until he was 43 years
old. Working for years on his theory,
he successfully immunized an 8-year-
old boy with his vaccine. Contendina
against the prevailing skepticism and
reaction Of that day, he vacinnated,
without fees. as many as 400 persons

Louis Pasteur was not a pediatrist.
but, in his researches and his discov-
cries in hacteriology, he sank several
deep caissons on which the modern
structure Of child hygiene and medi.
cine is reared. The son of a tan.
ner, simple, devout man, he was a
teacher of chemistry and laboratory
worker. Following up the work Of
Jenner, he, too, encountered opposition
and contempt. This contention and
the strain OF his work broke his health
and he was paralyzed in 1852 But
he continued his researches until his
death in 1895, bringing through some

"All right, Mr.. Wallace comes around

strikes me as un-American I say

you any quota for your wheat. but just
