JAMES SIMPSON’S PfcEDfcTION.
MAN’S GREATEST WAR.
GET YOUR MONOPLANE.
THE QUEEN BOBS HER HAIR.
Manufacturers that produce, mer
chants that distribute, and workers
that depend for employment on gener
ally prosperous conditions, will be in
terested in one paragraph of a letter
just received from Mr. James Simp
son, president of Marshall Field &
Company.
Mr. Simpson, whose business far
exceeds one hundred millions a year,
writes: i
“Business for the year starts
off very well with us, and tl^e
general feeling of confidence is
developing with just enough con
servatism to make me feel certain
that we are entering upon a
period of sound business develop
ment and activity.”.
Mr. Simpson’s opinion does not j
merely reflect the enormous retail j
business done by Marshall Field &
Company in Chicago.
The wholesale department of Mar
shall Field, biggest in the United
States, reaches into every corner of
the country, doing business with
thousands of merchants.
There is no better test of national
conditions than the story told on the
books of that gigantic firm.
The duty of each citizen is to be
lieve and say that prosperity^is here,
that it will remain and grow, and
that this nation will realize to the
full its extraordinary position and op
portunities among the nations of the
world.
We have everything that any nation
could possibly ask for. The only
thing that could injure us is lack of
confidence.
Secretary Weeks tells the Congres
sional committee that he holds no
grudge against Brig.-Gen. Mitchell for
telling the truth, and that he has no
thought of disciplirifr General Mitchell.
That is welcome. The people would
like .to think that the truth is not
kept from them by official threaths.
Science says the greatest battle of
the human race is to be against in
sects and microscopic germs.
Those tiny enemies do infinitely
more harm than ever was done by all
the wild beasts and poisonous reptiles
that men have gradually conquered.
Insects and plant insects destroy bil
lions every year in crops and forests.
And germs destroy millions of lives.
one of the dls-
all about. Bre-
tonneau of Tours Urst described It as
a distinct disease In 1821, over a hun
dred years ago. Before that time it
had been confused with many other
forms of sore throat and had been
called “malignant sore throat,” “putrid
sore throat,” etc. He called It diph
theria from a Greek word meaning a
membrane, because In true diphtheria
a membrane always forma on the In
fected spot Kleba discovered the
diphtheria germ In 1883 and Loeffler
In 1884 first succeeded In growing the
germ outside the human body.
In 1888 Roux and Yersln proved that
poisoning and death In diphtheria were
caused, not by the germ Itself, but by
the poison which the germ manufac
tures In Its growth. In 1891 Von
Behring made an antitoxin or antidote
for the diphtheria poison, by which the
poison caused by the disease could be
neutralized and the child’s life saved.
In 1913 Schick found that a single
drop of antitoxin, injected under the
skin, would show what children were
susceptible to this disease. Then Park
and Zingher In New York found that
children whom this test shows to be
immune at two or three years of age
will probably be safe’ from the dis
ease for the rest of their lives, while
those who are susceptible can by a
dose of toxlu-antltoxln, be protected
' from it in all cases during ^childhood
and in many cases for the whole of
their lives.
So we know aM about It, what
causes It, how the germs get Into the
throat of the well child, how It can
he prevented and how It can be cured
Yet in 1921 there were twenty thou
sand deaths from diphtheria In the
United States, mtat of them children
under ten years of age.
As Klog Edward asked, “If this di*-
ease Is preventable, why Is It not pre
vented?” Because its prevention re
quires action. on a large scale. To
protect a single child against diph
theria Is good but this will not rednce
the death rate. All susceptible chil
dren must be protected. The time to
do this is when the child enters school
In Cleveland Doctor McClelland
found that two-thirds of all children
examined were susceptible and that
the largest number of susceptible Chil
dren were found In the well-to-do
homes. Not a single child out of the
30.000 treated showed any bad effects
from the antitoxin.
“Who would not give a trifle to pre
vent what he would give a thousand
worlds to cure?” Three doses <ff toxln-
untttoxin will protect your child from
this awful disease. Don’t be sorry
when It Is too late.

Young men with courage and ambi
tion, TURN YOUR MINDS TOWARD
FLYING. Ex-service men that flew
in the war, cheer up.
Henry Ford and his son are build
ing all-metal monoplanes, and small
dirigibles, with all-metal gas con
tainers. ^
That means opportunity.
Be among the first to get one of
the monoplanes that will “fly T40
miles and hour, and carry a useful
load of 2,000 pounds.
Such a machine, once he knows how
to run it, should enable a younjtr .*nan
of the right kind to earn $100 a day.
And that sum, $000 a week, would be
a “useful load” to carry home each
Saturday.
For information write to Henry
Ford, or better still, to Edsel Ford,
Dearborn, Michigan.
Mark this prediction: Within twenty
years a million Americans that now
ride in automobiles, labeled “Ford,”
will fly in airplanes also labeled
“Ford” and go 100 miles on a gallon
of gasoline and no tire wear.

The Queen of Belgium bobj>ed her
hair, and there is much excitement.
Kings and queens take up new ideas
cautiously. The King of England still
drives to the opening of Parliament in
a gilded coach drawn by six or eight
cream-colored horses. And he wears
a crown on state occasions, although
everybody knows that the crown has
long been the property of the House
of Comipons. If Carlyle, creator of
“Sartor Resartus,” were here he would
find deep meaning in the Queen’s bob
bed hair.
