CASTORIA For Infants and Children InUse For Over 30 Years Always bears o NOT AS SHART 45 WE THINK WE ARE Reasons Why People Should Take Interest in Schools “The only way for boys and girls %o become good American citizens is to educate them,” sald Counciiman David L. Nair in a tour-minute ad- dress at the Palace theater last eve- ning. Attorney Nair was speaking on behalf of the Ameriean Legion in the: interests of American Education Week, .now being observed through- out the country. He seconded the request made re- cently by Superintendent of Schools Stanley H, Holmes, to have New Britain people visit the schools this week and see what their children are doing. He called upon people who have come here from other countries to visit the schools and learn, not| only the American system of educa- tion but the opportunities which are open to every boy and girl in the country. He referred to the various elementary, high and vocational schools and pointed out their ad- vantages. Dogs vs, Children. At Fox's theater the speaker was Rev., John L. Davis, chaplain’ of ,Eddy Glover Post. Rev. Mr. Davis| ‘emphasized the fact that there was no national church in the United | States, but that this country does: possess an institution which breeds and nourishes the democracy which is the backbone of our land, and in which all classes, races and creeds have a common interest—that insti- tution is the common schools.. He told an interesting story of a prom- inent man in a certain town in| Texas, where Rev. Mr. Davis resided, who owned two dogs and two chil- dren, Both dogs and children were “go- ing to school;” the dogs were in the hands of a trainer, and were in the hands of the school teachers. This man visited his dogs every week to see how they were getting on in their training, but never once did" he look into the schools to see how his children were getting along. It was said that he! had, eventually, the two finest dogs in Texas and probably two of the! worst. children. With emphatic seriousness Rev. Mr. Davis urged parents to visit the | schools this week and see how their children were progressing. Average Intelligence Low, At the Lyceum theater the address PRACTIGAL GURE OF PHYSICAL AILWENTS & Woman Psychologist Tells How to Get Well and Keep Well The fifth of the series of {rer lece tures on “Practical Psychology" being Riven by Harriet Luclla MoCollum at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church proved a very interesting and timely instruction to the large and enthuslastic audience gathered to hear the noted exponent of enthus- fasm, self.confidence and optimism last evening. Mrs. McCollum entered inte her discussion of the “Cause and Cure of Disease” with a vim and vigor that in itself immediately gave the impres- slon that the title given her by her many admirers that she is. the “wom- an who never wastes a word” was a | human life and the human being, the physical; mental and moral. To keep physically well, she said, there were | four essential things that one must i do, namely, develop the lungs, drink onough water, eat enough but not too much food and exercise enough in the ' right way. She sald that the first essential of | health was proper breathing, giving the lungs proper treatment and thereby giving the rest of the body a chance to function properly. As a sug- gestion, she said that a person should stand and walk straight, thereby COUNTERFEITING Su re Rel |ef FOR INDIGESTION Is Responsible SHOWING BIG GAIN Seeet Servce s Boologging Washington, Dec. 6,—The bootleg NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1922 ] Ul 3 v byt - A clgars will be passed around, An | gathered to help make the' affair entertainment will also be provided. | profitable.

The mind children | glasses a day, or approximately The second suggestion, in conjunc- itlon with the first, was that a per- son should stand before an open win- dow in the morning, take five deep breaths of fresh air after which he | should drink a glass of fresh water. Ths\ same should be done before going to bed at night. Then between morn- ing and night, six glasses of water be taken, making a total of eight two quarts a day, Mentioning that eating the correct amount of food was necessary for good health, and stating that the sub- Ject was so important that she would treat it on another night when the subject of food would be taken as a separate lecture, she went on to dwell on, exercise. She said that fif- teen minutes of the right kind of ex- | ercises a day would suffice for any person. She said that dignity was one of the chief causes of diseases be- cause it prevented people from being free in their movements, thereby causing them to lose the exercise they wag given by Rev., Dr. George W. C. mll Wwho, presented government statistics whibh show that the United ftates, as. a nation, has little to boast of in the way of educational Pprogress | despite the billions spent annually on‘ schools. He referred to the fact that during. army examinations for the World war, one out of every four! candidates examined was illiterate. He also said that the average intel- ligence of the people in America is only that of a child in the sixth grade. Of the 20,000,000 children in| schools, only 2,000,000 are taught by| instructors with sufficient training, 1,000,000 by teachers with seven or cight years of training, 7,000,000 are taught by boys and girls and 10,000, 000 by teachers without any special training. The conclusion is self-evi- dent, Dr. Hill said. America must wake up. He urged parents to visit the schools not only this week but aleo at times when ‘“company’ was not expected. Tonight's Speakers. | The American Legion committee in’ charge of the program is composed of Harry Wessels, chairman: William | W. T. Squires, James P. Rogers and Harry C. Jackson. This evening the speakers will be Rev. Samuel C. Sut-! cliffe, Rev. Dr. George W. C. Hill| and Alderman F. R. Gilpatric. A feature of the program will be! a patriotic demonstration, including the presentation of colors by service- men in uniform and a salute to the flag at the ‘Nathan Hale school this evening. MORE DISARMAMENT Argentina, Chile and Bmll Are Likes Iy to Reach Some Agreement Santiago, Chile, Dec. 6 (By the As- eociated Press)—Receipt of the pro- posal of the Brazillan government that Argentina, Chile and Brazil hold a conference to discuss limitation ot armaments as a preliminary*to the Panaman congress at Santiago in March, led to the prediction in gov. ernment circles today that Chile would accept. It was pointed out however, #hat acceptance would be| contingent upon similar action by Ar. gentina. and the approval of the coun- tries invited to the Santiago confer- ence.

Diseases Two Kinds ‘She defined diseases as being two kinds, namely acute and chronic. She said that the doctors would call an allment anything to define it, but " despite the fact that they had ex- hausted the dead languages in search of names for new diseages, the two above mentipned were the only two kinds of diseases existing. In defining the two kinds, she said that acute disease was one that ‘“nature’s reaction to ontamination, impurity and filth.” he said that chronic disease was one that comes and hangs on, or in other wdrds, a condition wherein the ‘“in- dividual is unable to adjust himself hopefully, happily and confidently to THE UNIVERSAL CAR ‘ 22 MAIN § Mrs. McCollum's lecture was well received, and numerous tions were asked her members of the audience, and she gave some very helpful suggestions on some intricate queries. nounced that the series of lectures will close next Tuesday evening, after which private classes will be given to those who wish to take them.

Moran, chief of the secret service, whose statement to the house appropriations committee was made public today. Counterfeits in East notes and $1,200 in raised federal re- serve notes were paid, for liquor for smuggling. The Canadian authorities he added, were putting forth effort to suppress it. Ships Are Victims Mr, Moran sald that much coun- terfeit ‘money was being passed to ships bringing in liquor in violation of law. “lI am getting information from various sections of the globe that these same counterfeits are being put in circulation at ports abroad,” he declared. “That would indicate they were put into the hands of sallors and crews of ships.” The secret service, he added, had had more different counterfeit issues in the last year than in the two years previously. “The business is more intensive than I have ever known,” he said, “and the trouble for us is that one violator of the law places the coun- terfeit in the hands of another viola- tor, and the latter tries to palra it off every The first annual Christmas sale of the Business and Professional Wo- men's club of New Britain will be held on Saturday of this week from 12 o'elock noon until 9 o'clock in the evening at the office of the Connecti- cut Light and Power Co. on West Main street.
