Just few weeks ago the Spen-
Ger Sisters offered to give a FREE
81 DAYS TREATMENT of their
famous SPURON to all readers of
this paper. To date all records for
such offers seem to have been lit
orally smashed, in that the de-
mands have been so great, even the
Spencer Sisters themselves are
amazed. One of the Sisters when
interviewed, said: "This generous
offer will cost US at least four or
five thousand times the amount we
had estimated. But inasmuch as we
know that SPURON will make
good with any woman or man suf-
fering from scalp itch, falling hair,
dandruff, breaking or split ends, we
are going through with this to the
extent of cur financial ability. We
know that the people will be so
pleased with the SPURON that
they will buy over and over again
and will tell their friends"

zens who hOnOred Phyllis Wheatley
Sunday? Does it not realize that
by subscribing the expense account
for this meeting Gin which no indi-
viduaPs pocket book was unduly
burdened), it was doing not only
the logical appreciative thing, but
taking action as WE'LL that would
have enabled the Forum executives
to have long since duplicated that
attendance and increased its (the
FORUM value to our citizenry.
The success of Sunday came
largely through q well planned
and carefully followed publicity,
It's effect was not lessened be-
cause it was donated by the Spokes-
man and Recorder newspapers. But
that same publicity could so easily
have been placed behind the Forum
and in it's other programs sustained
by the benefiting public rather
than depend upon any individual
generosity.
The splendid effect of unselfish
cooperation was so clearly shown
in this meeting that its continuance
in this and other fields would seem
the natural action for the immedi-
ate future. ...'. .
Speaking Of cooperation l am
still in doubt about certain groups,
especially groups of young people,
who occasionally develop a most
pleasing program for the ediflca-

It is inevitable that / would write
today about Geo. Schuyler and what
his coming to the Twin Cities could
and did mean to its citizens.
More important, for the moment
at least, than what Schuyler said
are certain things which developed
through his coming.
There were about $50 people in
the audience, more than the at
tendance of the entire Forum ses-
sions for the current season. These
came to hear what the lecturer had
to say, as it touched them per-

Health and

GluttOny Sinful
and Harmful
By DIR. w. D. Brown

When the holidays come, usually
discretion is thrown to the winds.
This is due probably to the fact
that everyone has had manifold
cares during the year and he
wishes to forget one and all during
this traditional period. l am no
destroyer of mirth, but then, too,
possibly l may do service by
cautioning you lest you stray too
far from the beaten path.
The human body works normally.
Any marked change will naturally
have some effect on its function.
A healthy body has a wide range
and therefore can stand more in
suits than a weak one. The unfor-
tunate thing is that some one who
is not strong generally tries to
follow the example of another who
is. Eating and drinking should al
ways be done with discretion. The
stomach is not a garbage can into
which things may be thrown in
discriminatory. Experience has
taught you the combinations of
food that your stomach will allow.
All stomachs are not alike and yet
may be normal. Suffice it to say
that overlooking is bad; likewise
the ingestion of much rich, greasy
food is bad. Concerning inhibition,
water is always safe and likewise
milk, if pasteurized. Alcoholic bev-

Poetic Thoughts
Christmas
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.


The celebration of Christs birth every year this time
Comes universal to Christendom in every cline,
To renew each year his mission earth,
Is the reason mortals celebrate his birth.
This day meant much to people of old,
Foretold by prophets who spiritually bold
With signs following inspiration
They guided to behold the Saviour all pure.
Christ grew spiritually at a tender age,
For when he was twelve he answered like a sage,
A knowledge considered only for learned men,
Whose years of study seemed dwarfed right then.
Temptation he had in his spiritual climb,
But he always kept His Father in mind,
For this spiritual armor stood him in good stead, r.
When prosecuted and the he bled.
The giving of presents by the wise men,
Has been a symbol of love and always then,
When Christ's birthday comes again each year.
The exchange of presents goes between those
Each year Christmas should u.s.
And bear without any outward fuss,
For that is what He did and forgave,
His enemies and finally overcame the grave.

this body only when invited to give
the entertainment. Is it ignorance
or cOnceit? l describe it in the
only impotence INDUCED in by Mr..
Schuyler, who, in speaking of GER
tain unwarranted action, declared
it was ridiculous"
Now a word about Mr.. Schuyler
himself and his lecture.
Like old wine, he grows more
mellow with age.
Like most of US who would wish
to change the pattern of this world
and its inhabitants, he has come at
"long last" to the realization that
it cannot be done through harsh
criticism and soaring vituperation.
He seems satisfied now to make
an occasional convert among the
people whose thinking he stirs. His
arguments and presentations are
imposed upon logic and built up
from a profound knowledge of per-
tinent facts. He talked Sunday in
an almost casual way, but the pic
ture he drew was so wildly clear,
the obstacles in the path of ad-
vancement so definitely visualized,
I doubt if anyone present left the
room without having in the back
of his mind the uneasy question,
What are we going to do about
it?"
When so large segment of our
people can be induced to such line
of thought, there can be no ques-
ton but that Geo. Schuyler did a
worthwhile job in the Twin Cities.

CZECHS REVERSE POLICY; TO
FARLEY WITH HENLEIN; MOVE
SEEN BY LONDON AS ADROIT

PRAGUE, May 16.-(UP)-
Konrad Henlein, Sudeten German
leader, returned last night to his
home at Asch from London and
Berlin where he conferred with
British and German officials re-
garding demands of the German
minority in Czechoslovakia.
Henlein said he was highly sat-
isfied with the results of his pri-
vate conferences in London.
Simultaneous with Henlein's re-
turn persons close to the govern
ment said Premier Milan Hodza
probably will invite the Sudeten
leader to confer with him within
two weeks about terms of the gov
ernment's minority statute which
already has been drafted in broad
outline. :.
Previously the Czechoslovak
government had refused to deal
directly with Henlein because, de-
spite the fact that he is the leader
of 100000 Sudeten Germans,
he holds no seat in parliament.
The reported change in Hodza's
attitude was attributed directly to
Henlein's London visit and con-
versations in Prague between
Foreign Minister Kamil Krofta OF
Czechoslovakia and British and
French ministers who urged cut
most Cancellation" in dealing with
the Sudeten problem.
