HEALTH PROGRAMS

What can be done to send out
healthier young people? The Amer
lcan Youth commission. a non-gov-
ernmental agency including indus
trialists and educators, calls for a
national and government supported
health program to improve the ply
steal condition of young people.
In former years very many young
people went out into the world with
weak and puny bodies. There was. a
time when people felt it was not the
business of schools to produce good
physical condition among their pu-
Fills. The school business, il was
held, was TO train the mind, and it
Vas up to parents TO see that their
children came up strong and healthy.
Many parents were easy going
about such things. Some children
grew up round shouldered and with
STOPPING postures. their organs al
lowed such poor development that
they could never carry one through
the hard battles of life. Farmers
children. breathing the ozone of
heaven. were apt TO come up healthy.
but it was just too bad for many
pale-cheeked youngsters i'm cities.
Many of them had no Fairgrounds.
Without chances to play athletic
games, many came up weak and an
aemic.
Today with Fairgrounds the usual
thing. with medical inspection in
countless schools. the chances for a
youngster are greatly improved.
Many city neighborhoods have made
quate recreation facilities. In some
there is no system for providing ac-
tive exercise. Medical inspection of
school children should be universal,
with provision for corrective treat
ment of physical defects.
The child with a good mind but a
poor body is like one-legged per-
son. You can't expect him to win
races in the competitions of this
age.

SYMPATHY FOR FINLAND

American sentiment feels deep re-
sentiment at the action of the soviet
Russian government in invading
peaceful and worthy little Finland
and bombing its cities. raining death
and destruction to many. The world
has slipped back several centuries
in that act.
What can our country do about it?
Our people do not feel they have
been appointed by God to be world
policemen. making all the law
breakers toe the mark. There is
merit in the suggestion of President
Roosevelt that our people should go
very slow about furnishing the war
makers of Russia with the supplies
by which they can make these cruel
attacks.

GIFT TO THE HOME TOWN

Everyone who buys in his home
store not merely gets his moneys
worth, but he makes a gift to his
home town. 1t is a gift that costs
him nothing. He has lost nothing by
thus buying at home. Usually he is
better off. because of low prices and
good service, also the saving of the
cost of going elsewhere for goods.
By giving the home town his pref
erence. the money which the custom
er spends continues to circulate in
the home town. 1t provides more
help to do the business of the stores
II helps to support public institutions
and pay the taxes. So we can all be
Santa Clauses. not merely at Christ
mas, but every week in the year. if
we give the preference to the home
merchant in buying our supplies.

GOOD CITIZENSHIP

Good citizenship is one 6fthe ideas
most emphasized in the schools. The
older folks may we'll ask themselves
if they are living up to this ideal,
and what constitutes good citizen
ship.
1t calls for strict obedience to the
laws. A person may be very law
abiding. yet live in such a self GEN.
tered way that he contributes too
little to the public good. Good citi-
zens should carry their fair share of
the labors of the community. They
should be willing to do their part in
maintaining useful organizations.
They need to pay careful attention to
their home places, to see that they
give a favorable impression of their
home town. Anything that contri-
butes to the public good helps per-
son become good citizen.

QUANTITY SELLING

The American business system de-
peDds heavily on quantity produc-
tion. Very many articles have been
greatly reduced in price through this
force. When the makers of these ar
ticles were able to turn out many
more goods. the unit cost of the pro-
duction was reduced. and they could
make lower prices.
Quantity selling is also needed to
complete these results. When re-
tail store doubles or more than dou-
bles its business, the unit cost of de-
lirering these goods is reduced. This
cuts the cost of living for its GUS
toners. The way TO get that in
creased business and these results in
the form of lower costs and prices, is
10 advertise. and do so regularly.

COSTS OF EDUCATION

A recent dispatch speaks of two
colleges where the tuition costs have
gone up. Probably in the majority
Of such institutions there has been
such an increase during recent
years. Not merely is the cost of liy-
ing fairly high, but the interest re-
ceived from college endowments is
usually less than formerly, creating
serious financing problems. Many
of the graduates of these schools
would say the experience would be
worth what il costs. even if the ex-
pense should be doubled.
Those who are deferred from seek
ing such education need not feel the
doors of opportunity are closed. The

HOW ABOUT OLD SANTA?

Some people fear that if they tell
the children to expect gifts from
Santa Claus. these youngsters will
lose faith in the veracity of their
parents.
Some day these children have to
learn that not all the words of life
are said in sober earnest. They have
to learn, through the mask of peo-
pIe's inscrutable faces. that things
are seldom what they seem, and that
plenty of skim milk masquerades as
cream, to quote the famous opera
"Pinafore." So the Santa Claus myth
probably does them no harm. At least
they learn from it to form their own
Judgment as to whether Santa is too
fat to get down the modern chimney.

SHORT DAYS

In December. the sun. on which
our planet depends for its very life
doesn't like us very we'll. 1t goes as
far south as it dares, and only
peers over our horizon for a short
day. Which means more costs for
fuel and light, and a general lack
of the vitality that comes from bright
sunlight.
The people should look out fol-
their eyes during these short days
Reading and working by imperfect
light has hurt many peoples vision
Better pay a little more for good
lighting than allow those precious
eyes to come to any harm.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

All over the land the newspapers
are telling about the grand campaign
to sell the Christmas anti-tubercu'
lOsis seals. Here is a scheme that
is accomplishing marvels to rid the
nation of one of its greatest sorrows
Into many peaceful homes the dread
infection of T. B. has come, bringing
mourning in place of gladness. and
the veil of death for happy life.
The campaign of education that
shows how to defeat this infection
has greatly reduced this cause OF
death and sorrow. The work is only
half done. Many families do not yet
know how this peril is to be averted,
The Christmas seal campaign raises
money to tell them how.

tain number of years of life ahead

able to enjoy as many of them as
possible. He will never marry you,
because he doesn't want to do SO.

you.
A. L. H.: recently had a mis-
understanding with a friend who
means very much to me. Was she
or | in fault?
Ans: Both of you were partly at
fault, though neither of you should
be blamed very much for this error.
The trouble between you is due to
the distance separating you. You
cannot successfully carry on a
cOurtship as long as there is $50
miles separating you Limit your
relations to an occasional letter I'M
til such time as you can arrange to
be closer together.

Ans: l regret that 1 am unable
to furnish you with any definite in
formation at this time. However,
1 am more than glad to publish
your appeal Try to do the best you
can on the farm with the help of
your two Oldest boys until you can
do better. AS you are still a COM
paratively young woman, would
suggest that you try to find an
other responsible man whom you
could marry. This should help to
relieve you of part of your burden.

W. W.: Did the doctor make a
mistake in diagnosing my case?
Ans: If the doctor made a mis-
take 1 can assure, you that it was
an honest one. No doctor claims
to be infalIibIe, and they will readi-
ly admit that there is often pos
sibility that they could be wrong.
If you wish you could have several
doctors diagnose your case at the
same time. The resultant eOnsulta-
ton should disclose your trouble.
Your personal theory is only part
ly correct.
R. R.: When will my son be re-
leased from prison?
Ans: Your son will not be re-
leased from prison until the Penal
Board is thoroughly convinced that
he has realized the error of his
ways, and will abide by the laws of
the state. This may seem cruel to
you, but l can assure you that such
things are necessary for the good
of society. Do not think too much
of things now, instead plan on the
day when he will be free to return
to you and try to have a home for
him to return to.
E. McF.: Was it a man or woman
who broke into my apartment last
week? Why was this act COM
mitted?
Ans: The guilty party was a
man, unknown to you. The motive
behind this act was robbery, with
no intention to do you any bodily
harm. None of your acquaintance
hold any serious grudge against
you. even though there may be
some who are not overly fond of

Minnesota has taken sizable ad-
vantage of the Federal Housing

While lot of people are afraid
that this country will get into war
again, it actually is in an economic
war right now. Not everybody re-

do. The fact is that the German

trade policies. New, attempting to
meet fire with fire, the United

whereby it will trade surplus cot
ton and wheat to England, Holland

WASHINGTON
JOTTINGS

Excepting the neutrality issue,
the biggest fight coming up in the
Congress will be over relief. The
Congress is just over one battle in
which so-called economy" forces
triumphed by batting down the
Presidents request for an addition
al $5O,O0O,00O for relief and keep
ing the figure to fiat 500, 600, 900
for the remaining two and one
half months of this year. This
means that relief rolls over the
country will have to be trimmed
right away by substantial amounts.
Liberals and Progressives fought
the reduction bitterly but were out
voted.
Ahead is the struggle not only
over how much should be given for
relief for the next fiscal year which
runs from July 1, 1889, to June 80,
1910, but how it should be admin
istered. The official estimate for
next years relief needs, announced
last week in the Senate, is fixed at
81, 500, 100000. That is the small
est sum yet proposed for annual
relief needs since the program was
started. There is no question that
the same group who fought against
full $15O,OOO,OOO for the three
months Of this year, will buck the
billion and half for next year. Al
ready discussed is the possibility of
trimming it to a fiat billion.
Also under consideration is a
plan to switch the whole relief pro-
gram. A bill is pending in the Sen
ate, proposed by Senator Byrnes of
South Carolina, which would shift
the emphasis to public works. A
new cabinet department of public
works would be cerated. 1t would
have charge of public works, WPA,
the National Youth Administration
program, the Civilian Conservation
Corps and other relief activities.
The idea would be to do away as
much as possible with Works Prog
ress "made-work" programs, get
rid entirely of the so-called white
collar" WPA works, shift all relief
work to big. public works projects.
The bill provides a formula where
by the Congress nets up measur-
ing stick where and how projects
should be allocated to states in
stead of the present system which
puts the discretion in the hands of
a bureau official. States would
have to share the burden of costs
