A tooth from which the pulp Improperly called "nerve"c has been removed is not "dead" neces- sarily. It may serve you well for many years.

Selected Poem
WITH PACKET OF SEED (Roland English Hartley in The Christian Science
 Monitor)

Last summer-remember? Our garden gay with bloom for gathering. And now-this meager thing! I can send you only these bright-hued packets of
 seed.
 And yet they hold, in kind and number, All that our garden held So plant them, dear: And in the Towering season of the year They will yield you beauty of your need Last summer-remember Our comrade days Of joy for gathering. And now-so incomplete thing! I can send you only words. But. as you read, Think they are seeds that soon will chamber Up to be bloom in the sunshine. Hold them, dear, And know that in another, happier year They will yield us gladness to our need.

When I began to wear only necessary clothing my colds pe- came less frequent I have worn only the lightest clothing the year around for many years II am 7U now and haven't had anything nKe a cold for thirty year. l enjoy eX- cellent health.
 Ensign P. G. Nolan, adrift in the South Atlantic in an open boat TOT 30 days, said:
 II was soaking wet every
 minute of those 3o day, ana
 came through in good healtn.
 But 1t took me just two days
 to catch cold when I got to
 New York"
 Prof. Leonard Hill, noted English nhysioloeist and authority on ven" tiIation and fresh air and air con" ditioning said:
 "It is absurd to put on an
 overcoat when going out Tor a
 walk. It is good to go out ana
 he braced by feeling cold ana
 so be impelled to take vigorous
 exercise" 4 Dr. Hill meant that to apply 10 everybody. I, Brady, urge parents Oo applv the same science and com" mon sense to the welfare Of cf1il" dren. When your little one IS go- ing out to play, for healths saKS do not burden the poor Kid WlCn more clothing than the child neeoS for comfort. 4,..
 A mother says her son is at the runabout age and likes to play out doors. But leggings hamper nus movements and she would like de1. mite instructions about covering the child's legs and insisting that the child put on a sweater etc. whenever he goes out to play. Her own pedistrician agrees with me, she says, but he tells her he simpiy dares not force his opinion upon mothers. ..
 The only instructions can give this mother or any parent who wants to do what is best for a child I have already given. I repeat, don't put a stitch more clothing oH cover on the child in any circum- stance than the child wants-1 do not say needs, but wants-to wear. This advice, remember, Is health advice.
 If physicians dared to tell tho truth, I wonder how many would be found in the same boat with the pediatrician who agrees with my teachings but dares not risk losing the patronage of some of those parents who like to turn up their noses at the ordinary practi- tioner and drag their precious pam- pered young 'uns to specialists" every time the young 'uns get off their feed. I'm sorry for those kids, too.

Uncle Sap Again?

For another example while the
agreement purports to give AmeTi-
can financial aid to Britain for
the specific purpose of giving Britain
financial credit in the United States,
it actually permits use of the money
by Britain for vast and almost un-
limited range of purposes including
EXPORT of lend lease goods to
world markets in COMPETITION
with American goods.
For a further example, while
there is recognition of the right of
the United States to "recapture
lend lease articles now held by
British armed forces, there is the
amazing stipulation that "the United
States has indicated that it does NOT
INTEND to exercise generally this
right Of recapture."
EOR still another example, while
the United States is assured Of
mon discriminatory treatment" in
the matter of commercial, aviation
and other installations established
during the war in the United King.
dom wholly at AMERICAN EX-
PENSE, there is a total lack of any
assertion or recognition of perma-
nent American RIGHTS in these
vital installations.
In short, the whole agreement is
mainly remarkable for the PRE-
PONDERANCE of benefits to Great
Britain and for the DEARTH of
benefits to America.
Britain gets the money all right,
and will pay it back at her easy con-
venience if at all, and is wholly for
given the "hire" of the money in any
year she so elects.
Moreover, Britain will spend the
money solely in her own interest as
she deems it to exist - and
AGAINST American interest when
ever that is in her interest.
The American people are pain
fully reminded of their former ex-
perience as creditor of Great
Britain, when Uncle Sam vainly
WHISTLED for his money and was
forced to play the unhappy and hu-
initiating and expensive role OF
UNCLE SAP.

Detroit evening times., 1945-12-11

THE President Of the United States
and the prime minister Of Great
Britain have made simultaneous an
nouncement of the successful" con
ciusion of negotiations for the foan
of vast sum of money by the gov
ernment of the United States TO the
government OF Great Britain
Representatives Of the American
and British governments have been
conducting discussions on this mat
ter in Washington for many weeks
The agreement finally reached
between them, in brief, is that finan-
cial assistance in the amount of
S4,400,000,000 shall be given Great
Britain by the United States, with
repayment of the principal debt over
a period of so years, and with the
whole debt bearing a 2 per cent rate
Of interest.
Now of course, since neither the
President nor the negotiators have
authority TO commit the United
States to such program, 1t becomes
the duty of Congress to make final
decision in the matter.
1T is to be hoped Congress will look
very CAREF u LILY into the
matter.
If it does, it will find some very
important facts which do not appear
to have Influenced the American
negotiators against the proposal, but
which will surely raise serious ques.
tions in the minds of the members OF
Congress about the WISDOM Of the
proposal.
There is the matter of annual
payment of interest, for instance.
Under the announced agreement,
Britain is under no compulsion to
make such payment. or any part of
it, in any year in which it is incon-
venient to do so, the right of waiver
being freely given,
But there are other and stranger
facts to be found in the agreement.
For example, any payments made
by Britain against the principal of
the debt in the first five years can
only be expended by the United
States IN THE UNITED KING
DOM, for lands, buildings and "edu-
cational programs.

TO THE EDITOR:
WHAT gripe against religion
w has the So-called Commit
tee to Maintain Separation Of
Church and State that 1t should
seek 10 ban public prayer in
the Detroit public schools?
When parents and school
authorities alike. supported by
competent religious authority
of all the faiths of the COM
munity, enthusiastically sup
port the nondenominatlOnal
religious exercises OF public
school. who are these few
anonymous directors who say
that such must not be?
Where do they get the idea
that our separation Of church
and state demands that our
government must ban Volun-
tary, public, nondenOmlnational
religious exercises IN taX-sup-
ported institutions Or if that
isn't their idea, what idea have
they?
The government Of the United
States commissioned, paid and
supported chaplains for all
branches Of her armed service,
many of whom proved their
devotion with their lives.
Was this union Of church and
state? Our honored dead our
government buried beneath
their religious symbols, with
the prayers and services OF
their denominations
Was this union OF church and
state
To her battle casualties today
in military hospitals she sup
plies ChaplainS Of all the faiths,
who reanimate the manned

ligiouS significance of their sac

that-whatever the cOSt-"this

too. union OF church and state?
Annually our President de-

Does all this. too, mean a union
