According to Dr. S. R. McKelvey, secretary of the Colorado state board of health, the human system just naturally begins to tone up under the stimulus of such greetings. He declares it’s an aid to health and a help in ) preventing disease and to that end he advocates a new movement—a_ “tell-your-friends-how-well- they--look” movement. “It’s not only bad taste to talk of your pains and ailments,” says Dr. McKelvey, “but it is a re- flection on your intelligence and knowledge of | sanitation and good health. We are,not far from the time when the cause of illness will have to be accounted for personally. “In other words, nature is no longer going to | be blamed for sickness when it is simply the result of ignorance, indifference or wrong ways of living.” Don’t you think it worth giving Dr. MeKel- | vey’s idea a try? | We do! So here goes: “By George, you're looking fine.” XMAS RUSH AND PICKPOCKETS epeeCKeT PICKING is an ancient profession. It was supposed for a long time that per- sons who pick pockets were pushed to it by poverty. Touching situations in dramas and novels were built about the starving babes for whose sake the hero or heroine snatched a purse. The plot still moves “movie’’ crowds. But we ought to know better, While the science of criminology has roused us to justice for criminals, it has also robbed us of much maudlin sympathy for somé of them. We know how that picking pockets is a busi- ness for which a training under experts is required. And we ought to know that the profession survives because society permits it to do so, with the same carelessness with which it lets germ diseases exist. The pickpocket finds his best field of opera- tions in a crowd. Christmas is his harvest season. He knows that if we are jostled while waiting for a car—we will jostle back—when we ought _ to grasp our pocketbooks. : If two men scuffle in the street, we ought to look for the real sport in the crowd where their confederates are collecting watches. When a newspaper is pushed into a man's face fin a jammed car, it is time for him to locate his valuables, not to become indignant.
