THE HUMAN NEED OF RECREATION There are 'mnny good souls who, in this hour of the nation’s trial, - would have the people eschew the lighter things of lite and give undivided attention to the serious business in hand. This is all very well in the main, and we would not for the world attempt to discourage any in such a course. Still there are limits within which the human mind as well as the human body must work. There is a homely old saying that “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” This is true, from the cradle to the grave. The human mind is closely akin to the human stomach. FEach, to do its best work, must have a groundwork of solid diet. The strength and virility of each comes from the heavier foods, and would not long survive on the frothy viands. Yet there is need of the latter, and they are as necessary in their place as the heavier. It is a physiological and philosophical fact that there is no rest to compare with the rest of change. The day laborer, with body tissues ex- hausted and spent with fatigue, requires absolute inaction to recuperate his force. The man of sedentary habits, confined within office walls and to his chair or his bench, finds greatest relief in physical exertion, ranging all the way from mild to strenuous. The student of heavy science or phil- osophy will soon go stale on a steady diet of these things, and is only re- leved by a liberal dash of their opposites. Close observers of men and events have noted that during the first few months of the war the people of France were absorbed by the more gerious business of repulsing the invaders and amusements were given but little attention. Later on, however, when the tension began to tell on the nerves of the people, there was a gradual revival of the lighter ‘phase of life, until now all over that country the comedy of‘life is as much in evidence as the tragedy. The joke and the quip, the songs of the cab- ‘aret and the jazz tunes are as popular in the trenches as in the amuse- ment centers of Paris. i ) That this demand for change is universal in humanity, is evidenced very strikingly in the life of a famous American humorist who, sated with his own .wit, always found relaxation in a study of the heavy phil- osophies, while another was an accomplished student of Eastern myth- ology. Woe are told that the lower animals have no sense of humor, yet from the least to the greatest of these the desire for receration and play is prominent. To even their limited intelligence it is accepted as one of the necessities of life. : There is no escaping the fact that the bore, the pedant, and crank and the all ’round nuisance is the person who has gotten in a groove and has lost the ability or the inclination for change. Such a person must be a burden eyen to himself. K COMMUNITY MUSIC One of the greatest assets to any community is a good supply of music —Dbands, orchestras, choruses, etc., that can be called into use on any and all public occasions. Good music is one of the greatest sources of enjoy- ment accessible to the race. It is appropriate to any occasion, from the most hilarious to the most solemn. It is never out of place in any public gathering, whatever the character. ald to religious fervor; the political gathering is flat and stale without it. Armies know and appreciate its inspiring influence, and make full use of it. Homes that would stand for all that a home should be will not think of being without music. . ' ° Every community, where enough talent can be scraped together, should make it one of its chief concerns to see that a good band or or- chestra is organized, and MAINTAINED. The maintenance of the com- munity band should be as much a community obligation as the mainten- The church employs it as a powerful |’ ance of its courts, it churches or its schools. . This country has as fine musical talent as any country in the world. Thousands of young Americans, if given the opportunity of a musical edu- cation, would become gifted musicians. Community attention to develop- ing a love for music, would soon develop in these young people such a de- gire for musical culture that they would be stimulated to pursue its study. Many communities have already seen the great value of public bands and orchestras, and make ‘provision for their maintenance as regularly as they do their own institutions. There should not be a town of any pre- tension in the country without its band or orchestra. The benefits will tar outweigh the cost. i DOES THE KAISER REMEMBER? The present emperor of Germany never had very much use for old Prince Bismarck; but Kaiser Bill, sore beset as he is at the present time, doubtless wishes he had heeded the words of that man of blood and iron when he said: “No man should ever take upon himself the immense re- sponsibility of internationally bringing about a war, for it cannot be fore- _l:an what unexpected events may occur that might alter the whole situa- tion.” what has become of the old-time butcher who used to throw in a piece of liver with a soup bone and a plece of fat as big as your fist with a chunk of roast? Life, my dear woman, will have given you all it can afford when your neighbor has the same opinion of your intelligence as she has of her own. The tongue that is tipped with venom after awhile seeks in vain for an audience. A person can al_waya find enough trouble without butting in. A small calibre gun can't shoot the big ammunition. ¢ \ BE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DR. E. A. SHANNON, M. D. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Office in Mayo Block |Phone 396 Res. Phone 397 — * DR. D.
