(l.lita Mills Heutincl)
U is reported that a popular
young couple of this place
went to Vrcka tho first of tho
week to get married, hut us
ono of them has vet timed wo
suppuso It Is "all off."
" Tlio fiendish shtvureo continues
ustho leading form of social tor
ture, In this Hhlvarco center of the
west. . Tho shlvaree caravans now
havo only two arterial streets for
their devilment, and tho opening
of 8th streot, as proposed, will give
them a broader scope. A civic
bloclthouso should ho built, with
cannon on tho ramparts, Newly
weds could race from the altar to
tho blockhouse, nnd, If they made
It,' bo nhle to offer sturdy rcsls

tomper,t when the groom objected
to being baptized In Hear creek,
on a rather chilly evening. Who
ever heard of such a thing! Last
week. In Iowa, a shlvaree sur
rounded a recently wedded pair in
their abode, and tho groom pitssed
around clears of u low grade.
Their quality Irked ono of the
sere nnd em, and u fracas ensued.
Tho groom could not whip Ml
people, of both sexca, nnd. when
they subdued him and threatened
to suspend him from a plum tree
limb, he raced Into his houo and
fired his pistol nt the lower limbs
of his tormculcrs. Unfortunately,
one such wan stooping over picking

1 havo repeatedly assorted here
that there is no such thing as low
ered resistance, or as resistance, to
any known disease. So far 1 have
not encountered any scientific evi
dence that clashes with my asser
tion about tills.
. Immunity is n very different
matter. Immunity Is a definite,
measurable state. A child may 1e
born with little or no immunity,
or with a considerable degree of
immunity against tuberculosis,
diphtheria, smallpox or other spe
cific disease. Immunity as always
specific that Is, immunity to diph
theria protect against diphtheria
and not against any other disease.
The fallacy of "resistance Is of
cum.w not specific it 1s just a
vague notion and applies as well
to tuberculosis as it does to the
pip or what have you. Ghosts nnd
falrletf are vague, too. I might
mention other conceptions which
arc equally vague. I prefer to re
ject such vague- ami unproved fan
cies und cling lo the ideas we can
understand, tangible, p r a c t leal,
comforting Ideas. When I see n
shooting star I say, "Ob. oh. an
other universe conies to a glorious
end." When our turn comes we'll
never know so why think any
more about it?
AVo do know little about Im
munity to tuberculosis. We know
sunlight helps oue to gain more im
munity. AVe know the toxin of the
tubercle haclllus In the right oses
stimulates the formation of anti
toxin 1n the patient's body, and
that's Immunity. We know how to
regulate the tubercle-toxin dosage
through rest, exercise nnd other
therapeutic measures.
Ihxt of all, we know how to
build up immunity In any instance
where Immunity in insufficient to
keep or make the patient welt.
That Is the purpose of all success

times wondered how the term bug
house actually came into u.se. Like
wise, I often wonder thee days
how I was inveigled into thl.s cockJ
roach exterminating bUbinea In tho

know, iire In no way a menace to
health. Why should I help In Hie

mands the death of tlio harmless

TreiMii Mouth.
, About a year go I had trench
month and the doctor tried every
thing without jsueces-s. l wrote to
you and you sugKcsted sodium per
horate as a p;trUo and a Kurgle.
This proved quite successful and
I believe brought about a complete
cure, as the trouble has not Iieen
in evidence now for several months.
Mrs. J. It.
Answer. Yes, sodium perborate
bus given much relief In many
cases of "trench mouth," or as
doctors call it, Vincent's angina.
Make a paste by moistening some
of the pure sodium perborate pow
der with a few drops of water, and
prcad this on tho sore gums or
patches in the mouth wherever you
can reach them. Let the pasto re
main for five minutes, and apply
it once a day for several weeks.
Then. In addition, make a solution
of a largo spoonful of the perbor
ate in a pint of water, nnd use
it in that utrength at mouth -wash
and gargle at least half a dozen
times a day.

Talks T&
MAKING CHILDREN AFRAID
By Alice Judson Peale
Anyone who has observed moth
ers and nursemaids in their deal
ings with children knows how
much they still resort to fear as a
means of discipline. ;
Ono has only to sit tn a sunny
spot In the park where nursemaids
and mothers and children congre
gate to realize how nmch this very
bad method is still in use.
A little boy roams off down the
walk. He Is dragged hack, and told
that If he runs away again, the
policeman will get him and clap
hfm into jail.
A little girl eats forbidden candy
and is told that the doctor will
come and pump her stomach out
if, she takes another bite.
The toddler who Insists upon col
lecting stray sticks and scraps of
paper is threatened with the big
dog across tho way, which will
surely eat him up if le doesn't drop
them immediately.
All these threats are not merely
silly, but actually harmful. In the
first place, they are not always
effective. If the child refuses to
be intimidated, he loses respect for
the person who tries to frighten
him, and will he all the more ready
to defy her in the future.
If they are effective, even tem

you here for awhile. 1 have a few
things to do and, as you can un
derstand the language, of all crea

John and Peggy thought it
would be great fun. They had
often visited Frog Hollow, but they
had never before had this oppor
tunity of actually understanding
the conversations of the creatures
who lived there.
They waved to the Clock as ho
went off. and then they took a
place near the pond.
A handsome Green Frog was
sitting on ,a stump. Around him
were some of his brothers and .'lis
ters and nthor relatives.
"Well, well, well, goo-room, goo
room, goo-room." he began, "What
a time we have had. We keep Im
proving ourselves.
"Now people grow larger, but
they don't make tho splendid
changes we make. A baby has
arms and legs and a face, nnd they
grow. Hut there Is not much dif
ference besides this.
"We change completely. We
have liitle tails when we are young

poles. "Hut then we know that nfter
our baby hood days of a year or
two. we must change completely.
