As usual on Sunday, San Fran
cisco Is a deserted city. The Dew
oy monument 111 Union Square Is
covered with a mass of silver tinsel
In front of which Is a stage massed
with evergreens, with huge red can
dles 15 feet hliOi here and there.
There was a bund concert this aft
ernoon and tonight there will he a
Christmas pageant, ns there will
be every night until Christmas day.
The shops are beautifully decorat
ed und vlsunlly ut leusl there is a
spirit of carnival in tho air. That's
like Sun Francisco. A city that
could tuke the eurthimukc und fire
with a smile, isn't going to bow its
head to n little thing like hard
times "Greut Hcurt" is not a bad
team for S. K. the harder the go
ing the hurder she fights ulways
heads up and a sparkling smile! -
Tho youngest member of tho

Mr. Hosenbuuin Is grund. She par
ticularly funcics the upper berth,
whero slio can perform on the burs.
Jump up and down, and in the cur

the windows In the eurly morning
and see cows aiul sheep und tur
keys, farm houses,'" trees and all
sorts of things. When we wero her
age they had no windows in up
per berths, which was one of the
things we had against them. The
youngest member, in fact, is so
happy she can't quite contain her
self und when she isn't singing for
sheer Joy she is upt to be turning
cart wheels. She has been many
thousands of miles In the (iood
Ship Sedan she detests motor car
traveling and adores traveling on a
trnin any train. Had we boarded
Itanium's old cannon ball express
she would have been equally de

would have oven surpassed tho S.

I it depends, says Admiral rrutt,
on how muny battleships we build, j

Can you Imngluo- even suggest

Is It conceivable that any coun
try could he stupid enough to neg

every future war?
Airships on land and sea, sub
murinus for enemy mercantile ship
ping, thut will bo the only progrum.
And old Kngllsh king, after pow

For, said ho, In real war, Knglnnd

Wo have army and naval offi

plnnus and submarines are here
and they suggest battleships.
Amorli-nng last year spent five
billion dollars on travel, twice as
much na wns spent by ull tho rest

In Canada alone we spent more
than three hundred millions, tak
ing five million automohlloa to Ca

emptying other coptnclcs.
The Canadian onsls is profitable.
And consider that we spent on

A famous bacteriological uuthor -
Ity riiimed Flugge showed the Im
portance of droplet' in lection, tio
proved, too, that there Is practical
ly do risk of commoting tubercu
losis by the innai
atlon of dust.
U a c t e rlologists
working under
Flugge's direction
produced tuber
culosis in guinea
pigs by causing
the animals to
breathe , dlrefctly
In front of the
mouth of a per
son with tubercu
losis while the person was cough
I iig. When the pigs were not
brought nearer than 40 Inches to
tho mouth of such person they did
.not contract the di sense. Hut they
were almost invariably Infected if
they were held within a foot or
two -from the mouth while the tu
berculosis patient coughed.
Another good nuthorlty, Wins
low, first sprayed the mouth and
throat of a man with a culture of
hiicillus prodlglosus, which Is hnrm
lens but gives a distinctive red
growth on culture media. Then the
man spoke loudly for half nn hour.
Then 140 liters of nir were taken
from various point In tho room.
The II, prodlglosus was found only
seven times. Another type of germ
called streptococcus snllvarlous, a
normal or natural Inhabitant of
tho mouth, wns not found at nil
In 74 liters of nir examined. In
similar tests Hoblnson did find S,
sallvurUis in some cultures from
tho air of tho room where the
man spoke. Put these authorities
concluded tholr observations tend
ed to support the conviction that
aerial Infection of any sort Is a
minor factor In the sprend of dis
ease.
Put note particularly that tho
guinea pigs escaped Infection when
thov wer not hmmrht n!.r
meter about 40 Inches tn the
f.ice of the
permit, with Die dls-
ease.

J state's prisoners should be turned
over to medical science for - ex
perimental' use but I think It Is
perfectly logical and safe to .as
sume that, yo long as one can con
trive to keep more than four feet
from the face of one's vis-a-vis.
on( Is not likely to catch watever ; n matter how reluctant they ap
the vls-a-vis may happen to haveiPeared make them kiss her in re-
in the way of a respiratory In
fectlon.
Many tests by other bacteriol
ogists have fairly well shown that
tho droplets of moisture given off
from nose and mouth In the form
of visible or Jnvislhlly fine spray
when one coughs will carry 10 to
12 feet. The rango of the spray
in sneezing is the same. In talk
lng the range is lowered to four
feet or less.
Everybody understands that kiss
lng on tho- mouth is a very likely
way to contract any communicable
disease which is communicable
through the nose, throat or mouth
secretions. The next best 'way Is
to conduct a Weber and Fields
chat with the person who has tho
disease or Is perhaps Just coming
down with It. Younger readers
may not know what Weber and
Fields means. Old-timers will re
call how the two famous come
dians carried on their endless ar
guments, at such close quarters
that they frequently had to wipe
an eye and beg one another not
to splash so.
These days the Individual who
perpetrates a sneeze or a cough
without first carefully covering his
nose nnd mouth Is likely to be
thrown out of the shop, hnll or
conveyance on his neck. Put con
versational spray is still good tform
and you have to tako your chances
in It. Uemember It, carries less
than five feet.

L. W., D. M. I.
Answer. Thank you, Dentor. 1
I propose the title of Dentor for
dentists. That's better for their
professional Interest than "doctor"
is. I'm not going to call any dent
ist, Dentor, though, unless he con
sents, I have nothing et all against
dentists, only I do think they're
a bit affected to use the title of
"doctor," even if they are legally i
qualified to use -it.
Hcrdeiiliie of tho Liver.
Please tell me the cause of hard
ening of the liver. I am a woman
49 years of age and I wondered
if my age might be the cause.
M. T. O.
Answer. Alcoholism, particular
ly Rln drinking, Is the commonest
causo of cirrhosis or hardening of
the liver. Probably the excesvive
use of condimentH, highly spiced
food, I n cnuse, too. Too much
muHtnrd and similar dope on oats.
Your age 1h not a cuuko of uny

Answer. Certainly his body
needs lime. Every child's body
does, njid plenty of fresh milk,
fresh butter, fresh raw carrot,
orange, .fresh eggs will provide It.
Jut punish the child for each of

When Louise and Mildred were
little girls their gay and charming
mother used to descend upon the
nursery where they spent most of
their days in charge of a nurse, to
pay them a dally visit before she
went out for the evening.
At these moments she would
take the children Into her arms
and ask them If they loved their
mother. She would kiss them and
turn.
Grown women now, these two
remember their mother as an en
tertaining and delightful woman,
but a person also toward whom
1 tney fet nt- only little affection
but a positive physical repulsion.
They had never kissed her ex
cept when she commanded them
to, and they had done It only be
cause they were afraid to disobey.
The love of children for father
and mother ennnot be commanded.
It must be earned through treat
ment which gives the child a feel
ing of security, confidence and
companionship In the presence of
Its parents.
It Is quite as hurtful to the child
to force him to be demonstrative
as to treat him so coldly that his
own Impulses to show affection do
not dare assert themselves.
Children aro wise. They -know
without thinking about It thnt the
parent who makes a point of de
manding from them the evidences
of affection is somewhere lacking
In the quality of his love and they
quite properly resent his advances.
Such demonstrations represent
In the parent both a compensation
for the Inadequacy of his own love
for his children and a possessive
egotistical attitude thnt would ex
ploit their developing emotions.

SANTA'S VISITS
By Mary (irnlitinl litimu'i
Ah Suntii CIhuh was flnlnltlny toy
after toy he talked to John nntl
1'ewy about vlHlts he made to dif
ferent countries.
"in Austria and other parts of
Kurope, ' he said.
"they put cnndles
In the windows
of their homes,
and you .know
how In your own
country so many
cities and vll
lagei have
Christmas trees
in pnrks nnd In
public squares
IlKhted around
Christmns time.
"How I do en
Joy seeing them
as I make my rounds. They look
so full of twinkling merriment of
this wonderful season."
"We're going to hnve a tree all
ready for you to trim," John told
Santa Claus.
"That'B splendid!" ho exclnimod.
"Now when I visit Armenia and
Greece and Syria I have discovered
that they llko to eat lamb for
Christmas just ns you like to eat
turkey with a fine stuffing mnde
or ooiipn rice and raisins nnd pine
seeds. In Germany they love- roast
goose for their Christmas dinner."
"I like turkey meat," salil John.
"So do I," agreed IVggy.
"I think I do loo," Santa Chins
ndmitted.
"Now when I go to Nova Scotia"
he continued, "there Is a town to
which the Indians come from their
settlement nearby. They bring In
Christmns trees in their ox-drawn
wagons, and oh, how lovely Is the
smell of the fir trees and the salty
smell from the sea thnt Is along
the coast! The Indlnns mako such
gay bnskcts and bend necklaces
too.''
What a Jolly pce this was
where Santa lived and worked.
And when Santa was not talk
ing he was laughing and singing.
He wns working all the time.
"Whether they hang great old
heavy mm-klnus mnde of thick grey
yarn as they used to do when your
country wns very, very new,"
Santa said, "or the kinds they hang
now makes no difference to Santa!
I fill them all!"
