BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS
Follow the suggestion of Governor
01m Trumbull and buy Christmas
.Seals.
He is urging a final rally in the
QConnectiout effort to raise a $100.-
00 anti-tuberculosis fund in the
8th annual Christmas Seal sale.
. The Governor in a statement is-l
”sued this week praises the State's'
'{jrecord of achievement in checking
the ravages of the disease. and ex-
pressed belief that the Connecticut
citizens would respond to the call to
finance the work of. tubercul05is
units for 19213.
\ Dr. Stephen J. Mahcr of New
Haven, chairman of the States Tu-
berculosis Commission, which is di.
rooting the campaign, said. that the
Governor's appeal was most timely
because of report from several parts
ofthc state that the campaign is
lagging and that renewed hope will
given to the fight against tho
disease by the enthusiastic support
to the campaign of the Chief Exec-
utive of the state.

of poets and musicians and sneer at
our democracy as a thing that has
fallen into the hands of financiers.
Very well! it's all true. What of
it?
Chicago has not as fine art gai-
lerles as Paris; Indianapolis does not
support grand opera as Munich does:
Minneapolis has fewer writers than
Vienna; St. Louis has not the pic-
turesque beauty of Madrid.
But consider this: Paris was five
centuries old when Chicago was a
frontier port. Munich had genera-
tions of history and romance to look
back on before Indianapolis Was
founded. There was a howling wil~
derness on the site of Minneapolis
long after Vienna had grown gray
with age. St. Louis was a tiny trad-
ing post when Madrid had passed its
zenith.
Never apologize for our lack of
aesthetic advancement. Scorn all
apology. America is too young. too
strong. too earnest to need it.
We are an amazingly young coun-
try. And it was more important.
in the history of the world. that
America should devote its youth to
such things an factories and rail-
roads and wheat fields and banks
than that it should producr: painl-
ings and music and poems.
For those things will come. .\'cver
When America finds its
voice there will go up from this land
a song to amaze the world: a song
that will send a message of hope and
joy and beauty clear to the highest
peaks of the unattainable mouno
rains.
But first we had to lay the foun-
dation.
We are like an army of workmen
toiling to complete a vast building-—
raster than any ever built before.
And as passereby see the uncomplet-
ed first stories. unadorned and mon—
strous. they cry, "It is ugly‘unprm
portioned—unbcautlful. The build-
ers are blind."
But some of us who are working
have seen tho completed plans. And
so we only smile. and go on with
our work, knowing. that the com-
pleted edifice will raise gleaming
towers that will strike the tingling
stars with their beautiful. golden
spires.
.\ “OUT THE PRESS
Once. again there nriscs a radical
uplifter to proclaim the bascness of:
America’s press. Not until we have
papers conduciml not for profit. he
says. will we get the truth in our
newspapers.
Perhaps he's right. but ii looks
otherwise. A paper that was not
conducted for profit would have to
be privately endowed; and such a
paper. inevitably. would tend to
more of a bias. on one side or the
other. than any journal of today
that tries to pay its own way.
Our press is far from perfect.
But. day in and day out. there is
little news of any real importance
that is not given a fair pvt-septa-

_ And Every Where That Mary Went-
How TO KEEP WELL
By DR. HUGH 8. CUMMING
Surgeon General. United States Public Health Service
Some authoritivs estimate that at
least one-third of all adults are par-
tly deaf in one or both cars. A cer—
tain percentage of this affliction is
the result of processes urisinig out>
side of the car itself. Adenoids that
develop slowly and that culargc lost-
lnr tissue above the palate, and storm.
pages of the nose passages by colds
are more often causes of deafness
than any diseaso'bf the car itself.
To avoid car trouble it is import-
ant that. the nose be kept iii a healty
condition. Few people reullzo tho
important part played by the nose in
tho preservation of good hearing.
Nearly all of our car troublcs de-
velop not in the outer car but in the
middle ear and the custaclllan tube
which opens from it. This tubo iwr-
ves as a drainage. canal and hcips
to maintain an equality of air pres-
sure. on both sides of the car drum.
When you are in a bodily condition
this pressure is kept equalized ho-
causo whenever you swullow or
vnuu air is admitted lllto the cus-
tachian iubc. When you suffer from
persistent colds or catarrli the nasal
passcgcs become clogged and the cue
tachian tube frequently is blocked.
When this happens the air pressure
is not equalized and the drum is
sometimes pushed out of shape. In-
flammation of the ear and other
serious diseases of the car are thus
begun.
it frequently happens also that a.
a nasal douche is used with pressure
which forces water into the custa—
ehian tube or into the middle car.
When this happens. trouble is sure
to start. Authorities are generally
agreed that tho indiscriminate use
of nasal washes is unwise.
Another procedure which is to be
condemned is the dropping of oil or
commercial ear drops or laudanum
into the car for the purpose of re-
lieving earache. Earache. ringing
noises in the head. discharges and
other disturbances of the hearing
apparatus are much too serious for
any treatment except that 'which
xsw Ionic Dec. .19. —. This
CharlestOn Dance craze is becoming
deadly serious.
Recently a building collapsed in
New _York and the Charleston was
blamed.
Now it happens that there is a
stable in the florid Fifties where
prosperous actors. writers and soci-
ety women get horses for rides about
ihc. park.
It also happens that there is a
fancy stepping gent of sepia shade
by name of Charlie Davis. who is
responsible for most of the colored
revues that found their way to
Broadway.
And it further happens that of
late strange sounds have been heard
Iiissimf lipsm-Ji t.- gning to rob:
low-making of a lot of its color..
coming from the stable. such as
"Stop it off. snappy!" Such sounds
would be broken by the stamping
and neighing of horses whose sleep.
doi’ibtlcss, was being disturbed.
Investigation has revealed a. very
exclusive Charleston dance class to
be under way. A few of the celebri-
ties that. I am told. have been per-
fecting their steps are Anita Loos.

Hayes. New York's pet actress of
flapper roles: Mary Boland. actress;
Miss Phyllis Poi-ah. Fannie Maria-

author: Mrs. .ilfrcd Knopf. wife of
the publisher: lilies Rita Romely and
Miss Ann Andrews and others of so-
tin-1y and literature.

started it and to be the "white hope"
or the Charleston world. And they

you can obtain from the btsi spe-
cialisi.
Sound medical advice on the re-
llct‘ of car troubles is not to be ob.
tallied from ihc advertisements of
car drops or from those who may
sell these advertised preparations.

tons or similar objects in “it: car.

side and that any effort of this kind
made by the unskilled should be
very gentle. indeed.
Sometlluvs an inscct crawls into
the car. in such cases the actual
physical dung-“r is less than the
mental horror for the insect soon
dies. A little sweet oil dropped into
the car may cause the insert to
come out. but here again you should
exercise- cuutlou. if an object. guts
into iliv car it is sometimes more
dangerous to try to remove it than
to loaxc it alonu until a doctor can
be consulted. No one other than a»
surgeon should o\cr attempt to ro-
iuove an object from the car by in-
serting an instrument.
Another source of on! trouble is
sometimes an undue :iccreilon'of cur
wax. Sometimes cold weather. the;
entrance of cold “'alt‘l' into the cur'
causes the car wax to harden. Ear
wax is a nci‘cssnry secretion found
in the healthy ear and is not an
abnormal condition.
Under ordinary conditions sax
does not accumulate unduly. Tho
glands produce a quantity of wax
just sufficient to protect the inner
ear from dirt and dust. Parents who
are scrupulously clean may be over-
zealous in the matter of scraping
every particle of ear wax from their
children's cars. It is easy to start
an irritation in the ear that will
produce an increased secretion of
cur wax as well as other car trou-
bles. '
