How To He Good
A few night* ago, after hearing
a renJ interesting talk at prayermeeting
on friendship, congeniality, and
personality, 1 made up my mind that
I would begin the following day and
have a kind word for everybody, and
not let a mean thought enter my mind
or a grating word escape my lips.
And I started out that memorable
Thursday morning bent on being a
natural born sunshine toter.
I drove to the postofftce, got out
of the car, an<J started through the
revolving door, and unthoughtedly, I
began pushing the wrong way. A.i
old fellow that was pushing against
me on the other side out pushed me j
and said: "Rubin, if this is your
first trip to town, you ought not have
got out of the wagon without a
guide." I bit my lip and didn't tell
him-to gotohel, 'but I couldn't get a
gentle word out of my bull shoofe"
to save?my- life.
I stopped a minute at a drug store.
A fmarl Aleck walked up and puUci
u feather off my hat. and said: "I
thought I heard somebody in dud'*
chicken roost last night, but 1 had
r . j
not idea who it was till you blew In.
What can 1 do (or you, old Shang
hai?" 1 aaid "Nothing at all, than*
you." 1 bit my lip again and kept
from telling hirn where he could go
if he needed my permission.
1 g??l to the office all right. The
bookkeeper told me before he said
"Good morning" that Skinmen an 1
Dodge had just been visited by the
sheriff with a padlock. About 9148.67
began to shimmy before my eyes.
The office stove began back-firing
about that time, and it was squirting
soot all over everything from my
clean collar on down to my stationery,
the drawer* to which had been left
opejn. Then u man phoned me to
send over ami get them 60 bags of
oats that we had hauled to his storj
through mistake. 1 smiled in the
phone as gently aa possible and hung
up. v
Before 1 know anything else, a
book agent bobbed up. He had a lino
that was as slick^as a string of
tripej. 1 couldn't stop him, or even
muke him hesitate. He talked and
he talked and he talked. His face
was so close to mine he'd spit in my
eyes very time he opened his mug
He mentioned Shakespeare, Voltaire,
( ole Blea?e, Sen. Borah, mike (.'lark^
it'll, and (leopatria all in the same
breath. 1 told him if he and them
books didn't get out of my office at
once thai the sanitary department
would be looking for his carcass in
5" minute- with spy-glasses. He left
5 hours later.
I began to cuss right straightout
by 1 1 I insulted nearly everybody
that called hut my wife, and she
had to cut her news story down to
one inch. 1 am thru trying to be unnatural.
I have always undertaken
to be pleasant, but 1 didn't know before
that a fellow couldn't be pleasant
if the Lord had failed to "dose"
h.m with that inclination.

LITTLE BOY BLUE
The little toy dog is covered with
. ,
But sturdy and staunch he stands,
And the little toy soldier is red with
rust, .
And his musket moulds in his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog
was new, .
And the soldier was passing f??r;
And that was the time when our
Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now don't you go till I come," he
said,
"And don't you make any noise."
So, toddling off to his trundle bed*
He dreamed of the pretty toys.
fjS
' ' j.
But Little Boy Blue never returned
to his little toy friends. We are not
told why. Was it, perhaps, because
toL Uuit arch ?o?my of childhood,
diphtheria, the "strangler?"
Since Eugene Field wrote this
touching storyrrr 1887 nearly a million
little boys and girls in the United
States have left their toys and todr.'
died off to bed, never to play wit'.tj
them again because diphtheria robbed
them of their young lives. The death
rate from this disease is heaviest
among preschool children. Eighty
five out of every hundred who die of
it are children under ten years of
age, and two-thirds of these are under
five? ,,
Country children are more susceptible
than city children, and the chil-'
dren of the well-to-do are more sol
than those of the poor.. This is be-!
cause c ity children and poor children !
are more frequently exposed and infected,
and those who escape wit.i
mild attacks of the disease become
immune. But it is taking a terrible
chance to depend on any child's developing
immunity in this way. Many
die in the process.
Germs ui^ of various forms, some
spherical, some spiral, some rod j
shaped. Those shaped like rods are!
called bacilli ("little rods"). The
cause of diphtheria is a bacillus first
described in 1883-84 by Klebs And
Loeffler, and named for ^hese two
men, the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus.
Most people are familiar with the
fact that poisons are produced by
certain plants, such as opium by the
poppy and bealladonna by the deadly
nightshade. In a similar manner
diphtheria bacilli, which are vegetable
organisms, produce in the body of
their victim poisons or toxins which
enter the blood and are carried to
all parts of the body. In this way
these toxins reach and damage the
heart, kidneys and nervous system.
It is these poisons that have caused '
paralysis in some patients who have
received antitoxin too late, and not!
the antitoxin, as has sometimes been
erroneously thought. I
Let us all concentrate on protecting
children from this menace, ar^i
drive diphtheria into the discard.
