THOSE who sat in the Senate gallery 11 "guring the last few minutes before | the Senators quit for Christmas saw enacted one of the most delightful bits of comedy of the short session. It was one of the Senate's prize| showmen, Ashurst | of Arizona, who provided the fun. And it was the scholarly, dignified Bingham of Con- necticut who was his foll. Bingham was making a desperate effort to push through a turning over some cotton to the Red the through the cour- tesy of Jim Watson of Indiana. Through some grather skillful maneuvering Ashurst obtained the floor and began to explain his views on prohibition. Bingham looked disgusted, more 50 | perhaps because earlier in the day his beer bill had been side-tracked by | Democratic votes, among them that of | Ashurst. In the midst of the Arizonan's | speech, Bingham turned to Watson and in sotto voice satd something about | people always meking alibis. Ashurst wheeled on him and charged. | “Mr. sident,” he shouted, “T didn't | thear that, but by the peculiar snarl | ,and sneer which seemed to accompany ‘what he said, 1 t\“rap\ll{ that it was not i compl the Senator Tepeat Bingham would not, and Watson, a" bit alarmed, tried to get back the floor, | fbut Ashurst wouldn't hear to £. In a }thundering voice, he continued: ! “I admire the scholarship of the iSenator of Connecticut. I admire him as & man. We are friendly in the ex- treme. But the great fault with him, the great defect of his political career, is that he judges other men's motives his own. The country knows me. [ e country knows the Senator from Connecticut. I am econtent.” nentary. | Joe Robinson doubled up with laugh- ter. Even the usually serious Sheppard of Texas chortled. To that group on the Democratic side so amused, Bingham unsolicited, made his way. He and Ashurst soon had their arms locked, laughing as heartily as the others. “I didn't hear what you sald, Hi, said Ashurst, laughing. “It wasn't meant for you, Henry, replied Bingham. 2 . ho! ho! ho!” interjected Robin- son, “Henry caught the ‘snarl and sneer’ all right.” THAT BODY OF YOURS BY JAMES W. Treatment for Goitre. ERHAPS you sometimes wonder why one acquaintance with a well-marked goitre seems to get along without any particular treatment, while another ac- quaintance with goitre is required to take regular does of iodine, still another is required to rest a portion of every day, another is given X-ray treatment, another radium treatment, and still another has a por- tion of the thyroid gland removed by surgery. Why should there be so many methods of treatment for goitre? The treat- ment of goitre de- pends upon wheth- er the type is sim- ple or severe. In the simple form, rest or jodine treat- ment is sufficient It is in the severe type that many forms of treat- ment_arc mow in use—X-ray, radium and sargery—and you may wonder why one or other of these three methods of treatment should not be used in every case.

[ | | A Sermon for Today | “Be of good cheer.”—Matt., ix.3. “Be of good cheer” were words often | spoken by Jesus. Thus He spoke to the g;nlytlc who was brought unto Him four friends. He used the same words in speaking to the woman who ‘touched the border of His garment” and was made whole. And that night, when His disciples were caught in a storm at sea, Jesus calmed their fears With the words, “Be of good cheer; it | is I, be not afraid.” Once more, in His | farewell talk to His disciples in the | | upper room, He spoke to them in these | words, “In the world ye shall have | tribulation: but be of good cheer; I| yme the world.” ords were undoubtedly spoken on many occasions other than those re- corded. On the recorded occasions, once they were spoken to & sick man, | once to a sick woman, once in the presence of danger, once to meet tribu- lation which Jesus knew His disciples must endure in the future. Wherever Jesus found people in any sort of trou- or sorrow, confronted with difficulty or peril, His word to them was, “Be of good cheer.” Where our English version has the | phrase, “Be of good cheer,” the Greek has only one word. Moffatt translates this by the word “Courage.” I have | been thinking that this is just the| word Jesus would speak to each of us| at this time. It is easy enough to think | we have courage when all goes well, when there is no cloud of trouble or | danger on our horizon. But our Lord calls upon us to “take courage” when disease is doing its worst to our bodies, when the elements are against us and threaten to overwhelm us, when we are being tried and tested by tribulations. In all the trials and reverses we are having just now Jesus comes to us, say ing “Courage!” | In this life we cannot escape trials | and troubles. When they come we should face them with brave hearts. We should not surrender to fear. Many of our fears are the products of a too lively imagination. Many of them are groundless. But hot all fears are | groundless, There are times when we | have good reason to be fearful. It is| | not an ignoble thing to have fears: but | |1t is an_ignoble thing to surrender to | |them. We do not need to surrender. We can always conquer our troubles | | and overcome our fears by the exercise of faith and courage. We may have dangers that are real, and we may have every reason for being afraid. But let | |us hold steady and stand fast.

C., DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Don’t Marry Unless You're Overwhelmingly in Love, Advice to Bachelor Girl—Dis- illusioned Boy. EAR MISS DIX—I am indifferent toward men and have thought seriously of being a woman with a career and living a life of inde- pendence. Lately, however, things have come up that make me wonder if, as I grow older, I will tire of independence and envy my friends who are married, whether happily or lr‘::t. What is your opinion on this subject? THLEEN. Answer: I am old-fashioned 'and sentimental and hold fast to the belief that nothing but love makes marriage worth while. I believe that nothing but caring for some one so much that life is cinders, ashes and dust without him or her can repay any one for the sacrifices that mar- riage inevitably exacts. ?SPECIALLY is this true for a woman, for marriage is much harder for “ her than it is on a man. She must give up her liberty far more than a man does. She must give up her job or else, if she keeps it, she super- imposes upon it the extra job of making a home. She must make the adjustments and adapt her tastes and pleasures to her husband’s, for there are few men who ever take the trouble to be diplomatic with their wives. And she must bear and rear the children. All of this is a glorious adventure. Every sacrifice is sweet. Every labor becomes @ pleasure. Every one of the man's faults becomes amus- ing and endearing peculiarity if the wife loves her husband. But if she doesn't love him marriage becomes nothing but a feat of endurance. Making a home is the most dull, deadly grind of labor on earth. Every mannerism of the man gets on his wife's nerves. Every word is a fighting word, and instead of the home being a Paradise on earth it is a foretaste of purgatory. N former times there was a good argument for girls marrying without love and without attraction toward the holy estate, because there was no way for young women to make an %:equate living for themselves. They had to marry their meal ticket. Ais0, A& woman had mothing of interest to do and she had to marry for an occupation. Likewise an unmarried woman had no freedom of action, 50 she had to find emanci~ pation through her wedding ring. That is not the case now. Any intelligent girl can support herself as well as the average husband supports his wife. Business affords her 8 never-failing source of interest, and any girl is free to set up her own home or go where fortune calls her. So marriage is no longer a necessity. It has become a matter of preference. '[HERE are girls who are born for marriage. Wifehood and mother- hood are the career to which they are instinctively driven. They are miserable without husband and children, and they are happier married to any sort of man than they would be single. But there are other women, like yourself, who are really celibate by nature and to whom the domestic life does not make as much of an appeal as does the commer- cial or professional world. A mahogany desk always looks better to them than a kitchen range. This type of woman should never marry unless she finds some man with whom she falls overwhelmingly in love, some strong man whose fascination will be great enough to hold her and keep her from regret- ting all that she has given up for him. Such a woman should never marry for convenience or because other girls are doing it A for your fear that you will be lonely if you do not marry, mar- riage is not an unfailing safeguard against that. Some of the loneli- est women in the world are the women married to uncongenial husbands. They are the more lonely because being married cuts them off from friends and companionship that they would have if they were single. If a bachelor woman is lonely in these days it is her own fault and because she will not take the trouble to make friends. Among the most popular and sought-after women everywhere are jolly old maids. e DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—AIl during my son’s college course he was very attentive to a girl in a neighboring college, and there was every evidence of mutual affection. On graduation, because of money strin- gency, he was unable to hold out any hope of marriage in the near future. She was unable to secure a position and has contracted mar- riage with another man. My son is very bitter about it. He says, “I did what T thought was the wise thing and now see where it has put me.” he has lost his faith in girls and in life. How can I help to restore his to a healthy state of mind? DISTRESSED MOTHER. Answer—You cannot do it. Only time that heals our hurts and softens our disappointments and teaches us philosophy can bring your boy back to normalcy and give him a saner view of the situation. Every boy whose first love aflair goes awry thinks that his heart is broken and his life ruined and Tails against fate, but it is amazing how soon the hurt in a young heart heals and how very soon another girl cures his pessimism. Don't take your son's attitude too seriously. Just recall your own youth when you found a bitter pleasure in a secret SOTTOW. Of course, you might tell your son that badly off as he thinks he is at present, he is in nothing like the harrowing situation he would have been if he had gone on and married the girl with nothing to support her on. Lying awake at night thinking about a false love is not the agonizing experience it is to walk the floor wondering where the next meal is to come from. Nor is anything such a quick cure for love as for & man to marry a woman before he is ready for marriage and when he knows she blights his career. Chief among the women who help men are the schoolboy sweethearts who marry other men. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1033.) GOOD TASTE TODAY BY EMILY POST.

Y dear Mrs. Post: In the future, how should I eat & sandwich when it is served like this: The two slices of bread were cut in half and laid on the plate. On the two pleces were the sandwich fillings which were egg and olive, and on the other two slices were the | and | lettuce leaf dressing. The bread with its garnishing | was about three- quarters of an inch thick. A Salad fork was laid alongside of this plate. Should I have used the fork or picked up the pieces of bread in my fingers, and should I have put the sandwiches to- gether instead of leaving them ‘open’?” Answer; This is quite new to me! With a knife as well as a fork you could manage very well, but without a knife I can't see what you could do other than nibble a half bite out of one piece, rabbit-fashion, and then nibble a half bite out of the other piece. Or perhaps you are sup- md to put the two halves together, it tight in both hands and eat it Emily Post. as one who is given no knife and fork must eat a club sandwich, “My dear Mrs. Post: I it proper to serve’ myself first when I am eating dinner with a family that passes the food? Or would it be better to offer | the dish to the person beside me, and | if T did this last, would I have to wait | until the dish came all the way around | the table to me later?” | Answer: If you are a guest, certainly help yourself. ~ If you are hostess, not on any account before another woman | at table has been served. | “My dear Mrs. Post: What does a servant do when she is supposed to assist at a tea given by her mistress?” Answer: Opens door, sees that the | kettle is kept full of bolling water, takes | away used cups and saucers, brings in | clean ones. Sometimes (but not always) she proffers a tray with cups of clear tea, a sugar bowl, cream pitcher and lemon on it, and also proffers dishes of cake or sandwiches to guests who do not go to the table for their tea.
