Discovered late, many times It Is Impossible to do auythlng about It except proloug years of suffering apd Inability to earn a living. The Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association for the past two years has proven the worth of an active tuberculosis program by steadily doing better on the Job of flndlug tuberculosis early enough 'to get best results; ,by providing good service to families ' needing care and by protecting every homo In the county. During 1940 It had been planned to do a better piece of work than ever before by Increasing the chance to get X-ray examinations more quickly. It will take allot the $1,600 set as the goal to enable the association to carry on a full time program. Mrs. John Mullen, Christmas Seal 8ite chairman, asks every one who has not already' responded to the appeal for funds to come to the rescue In time'for the Tuberculosis Association to feel that the people want to &o ahead with stopping the spread of tuberculosis which Bteals the pay of those stricken with the disease and robs especially those between the ages of fifteen and fortyftve, of years of active life.

K a child Is well-grown,- has firm muscles, rounded outlines erect pos- , ture, a rosy-* skin, clear eyes without circles under them, a happy disposition and a good appetite, he is probably getting the right ijtlnd and amount of sleep. Usually if a child gets plenty of simple food and vigor ous outdoor play in. the pun, be sleeps well. - r'~~ , How'tauch sleep do children need? Between the ages of two and three most of them need between 13 and 14 hours at night and in daytime naps; and between the ages of four and eight, they need from 12 to 13 hours, kittle ohildrsn need to rest frequently, either by naps or- by quiet play. The faster a child is growing, the more sleep he needs J therefore, when children start "shooting up" In adolescence, they need even more sleep than when a year or two younger; if children are accustomed from Infancy to a regular bedtime, except on special occasions, their chances tor normal development of body and mind are greatly helped, and management is simplified. Except for these special occasions, it is unwise to give in to a child who begs' to stay up rjuet itaUr one time". ; ~ JOHN D. KENNEDY CHAPTER 0 Ui D. C. MET WEDNE8DAY. Mrs. W. F. Nettles and Mrs. E.

' mmmmmnssaBaawammamBmmmmssBBrrrHitler Sees Decisive Victory in Year 1940 Ilerlln, Dee. '30.?Adolf Hitler today, proclaimed a new war aim, prophesied that "the Jewish capitalistic world will not survive the twentieth century", and expressed faith in a German war victory in 1940, "the most '-decisive year In German history." His hitherto undeclared war aim was "prevention of a still greater Injustice" which he said the western powers planned to substitute for the Versailles peacp treaty imposed on Dermany at the end of the World war. [Hitler, In a long New Year message to the Nasi party, emphasised that he insisted upon a military decision and iuiimated that he would accept no compromise. "Arms this time", he said, "hiuat definitely be wrenched from the hands of war inciters and war declarers." This pant of the message was underlined by Nasi commentators. "About one thing we are clear," Hitler told the party, "The Jewish capitalistic world enemy that stands opposite us has but one aim and that is, to destroy Germany and the Gorman people!" Jt was at first said "that they wanted to help Poland." Hitler wrote, and when that failed to succeed, he said, Poland's reconstruction was nee* longer a war object but Instead "my elimination?that Is, the uprooting of National Socialism." Admonishing the nation to bear Its war burdens, Hitler then said: "We therefore have a clear and precise war aim: Germany and beyond that Europe must be liberated from the oppression'and constant threats which today as In the past originate in England. .. . , . We not only fight against the Versailles injustice but for prevention of a still greater injustice which is to take Its place. "And positively we fight for construction of a new Europe because We'fere, in contrast, to Chamberlain, of the conviction that this new Europe cannot be shaped by the outmoded forces of a decaying world and not by so-called statesmen who are unable to Bolve even the most primitive problems In their own countries, but that loi>the Reconstruct ion of Europe only those 'peoples and forces are called upon which In their conduct and their achievements q,an be spoken of as young and productive. * . . "The Jewish capitalistic world will not survive the 80th century." In a second message addressed to the army, Hitler asked the blessing of God, "who during the Past sb visibly took us under His protection," and he warned his soldiers that "the hardest possible struggle for existence or non-existence of the German people" lies ahead." But, he said, with "such soldiers, Germany must win."
