to unlearn some of the things you learned from Doctor Horsefeathers Almanac, may I suggest, what pr. Price left for the reader to infer, that going bareheaded and bare. footed or barelegged there in the Loetsehental Valley or here in our alley enables the body to manu- fracture some of the vitanin D 1t needs to build sound teeth, strong bones, steady nerves, in short V.I.T.E.
 So say to all young folk who read this: So far as your health and freedom from illness go, 1t Is always good hygiene to go without your hat, your overcoat, your shoes, stockings, rubbers, heavy un- Aerwear, or any other clothing you may be more comfortable without, Always, say, in any climate, sea. son or weather Whatever you find most comfortable to wear or to leave of is most healthful for you provided you arc not feeble.inind- cd and unable to know when you are comfortable or uncomfortable.

Catholic Information
How Simple-tO Travel to Heavenl

With simplicity of reasoning the Catholic is convinced that God founded one true Church, which be- cause 1t is Gods train" must be perfect in itself and In It's operation, To insure this, the Catholic believes that God made His engineer, the Pope, infallible in the running ot the locomotive--that He divinely empowered the priests, His train- crew, to direct, serve, and feed the passengers and that therefore for the masses of Catholics, simple faith and simple obedience form the full-paid ticket from here to the heavenly depot,
 Just as Q machine with many complex parts may be simple in op- eration, SO the complexities of the will of an Infinite God evolve Into utmost simplicity of operation for the man of faith who harks to the words of the Lord Jesus: He that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matt. 7:2D

How simple 1t Is to travel to any town across the landl Simply make sure that you are on the right train and that you stay on 1t, Obey the simple rules of the road. That's all You're sure to get there,
 How simple 1t IS to travel to our Heavenly Fathers land, Just make sure that you are on the right road and that you stay on 1t, Obey the simple rules. That1l all, You're sure to get there,
 Engineers and train crews must know the intrieaoies of railroading, Passengers can learn them for their own benefit. But as trains are for everybody, he who knows but little will get there just Os surely and as comfortably If he stays on the train and adheres to its rules,
 Theologlans and teachers must know the fine points of the God builded road to Heaven, Laymen are encouraged to study these also, But as Gods train must be for every man, SO he who knows but little must get there just aS surely and comfortably If he stays on the train and oheys It's rules,

Sisters Of Charity Performing Heroic Work L1 Central China
Five Nuns Among First White Women Ever To Invade The HinteFlond
ExOluslve Central Press Dispatch

Exclusive Central Press Dispatch
 Convent Station, N. J.-Twenty- one years ago, i've American Sls- ters of Charity embarked for the hinterland of China to do mis- sionary work among the Chinese people in Yuanling, in the province of Human, They were among the tirst white women ever to set foot in central China.
 Between primitive transportation, mostly by boat and sampan, and encounters with Chinese bandits, it took these i've Sisters of Charity one year to reach their destination.
 Their first Christmas in China was spent in Q sampan. The Sisters were to join the Catholic mission which had been established in Ya- af1ling two years before by the American Passionist Fathers,
 During the next eight years, due to Internal troubled conditions of the country, the Sisters were con- stantly moved in and out of mis- sion to safety zones. Tn io32 one of the their group died of cholera, and they lost their convent by fire.
 SlsserB Gee Busy
 During this period, however, they managed to establish grammar, erl1. broidery and doctrine schools, and Q dtspenSary where the people re- ceived free treatment, The sisters also visited the sick and poor at their homes, bringing them nedi- cineS and food and other necess- itieg.
 Tn 1893 the work of the mission district had grown to such pro- portions that i've additional sisters Joined the missions original band. These included Sister Alma Maria and Sister Carita. in addition to the dispensary, Q hospital, junior high school, an orphRnage and an industrial school were opened in Yuanling vlcnriate,
 Tn 1897 the Japanese invaded China. Almost immediately thou sands of Chinese refugees from the invaded areas crowded into Human province and required the services of the good priests and sisters. The mission hospital was equipped for treating 50 patients day, but thousands ciamored for admission.
 Emergency camps were opened to house and feed the refugees. From ie30 to l044 the sisters re" ceived many notices to evacuate, but each time they turned Q deaf ear to any plea to leave their un- fortunate people. There were eo,000 sick and wounded to be treated by the good nuns, and then an epi- demic of cholera struck the terri. tory. This was 50 serious that 1t attracted the attention of the tns ternational Red Cross ct Geneva, who sent all available help to the good sisters to aid them in their work
 Last February sister Carita was ordered to leave China after i2 years of service, and then on Aug. D. when the 0ripsholn came with It's last group of evacuation, Sister Alma Maria and Sister Jean Marie, who had gone to Yuanling four years ago, were among the passen- gers.
 Upon her arrival in New York RlakaP Alma Maria was informed

his socks; if he comes home often at night to an empty house and has his evening interrupted by e con. stantly ringing telephone--he ought to get some recognition for his pa. tienee and his willingness for the little woman to "be person in her own right, as the elubworneIi put it.
 HE NEEDS RECOGNITION
 Furthermore, the husband of 6 Madam President usually doesn't get his just portion of the build.up women are supposed to give their men. He listens to what the girls did at today's meeting instead ot getting to tell the details of his own hard day. And when he meets new people he often hears, "Oh, 1 believe know your wife. l worked with her on Sueh.and.sueh e drive-a very capable woman" So the poor guy really needs some kind of recognition for the role he plays in life.
 Of course, 1t Is rather Q left- handed kind of recognition to be an auxiliary member of c wofnans club and to be honored aS Q long-suf. fering husband,
 But probably 1t is better than no recognition at all.

pital as the result of this eXigeney in 1888, It was staffed by the Sis- ters of Charity of Convent station, New Jersey, under Sister Mary Finan Griffin, a registered nurse, who had spent l4 years ia China, The services of Q native doctor were engaged and Sister Ftnan, as- sisted by Ave other sisters, were also registered nurses, two phar- maeists and three sisters with pre- vious hospital experience, and na- tive personnel, carried on,
 The first Japanese planes came over in August of ieSe," says Sis- ter Alma Maria, "There were hum dreds of casualties. Our bishop, priests and sisters worked far into the night looking for victims who needed medical aid, they offered spiritual comfort and words of en. couragement, and later saw that they were given decent burial, No one took time to eat or rest,
 Sister Alma Maria reviewed brief- ly the routine of the sisters dur Ing the war years, the Mission pro- gram which included feeding sole diers, hospital work, caring for ore phans, and conducting junior high school, She said that their group are merely on visit ct the present time to the homeland, and hope to return to Yuanling as soon as arrangements can be made,
 Sister said there is much work to be done in the ravaged country and that it is important that they expand the services of their miss sion.
