M. C. A.,,to the Salvation my, to various war relief funds so that some of the un- tes in Europe might be helped. The Star knows, that there are numerous instances where relief should given here in the United States.

It has been tried con-| ly twice—in France in 1871 and recently in Russia. rmed people know that there was no liberty in the 1871 mmune nor is there liberty in Russia today. Liberty ther for the Russian middle class nor for the Russian orance begets Bolshevism, while education and intelli- beget trades unionism and the higher things that me with trades unionism. er Bolshevism there is in the United States today result of a failure of eternal vigilance. The poor, ignorant, came to these shores in swarms, and ne took them as a matter of course, treated them ‘cattle or gave no thought to them at all. Little or no pt was made to educate them, to enforce decent con- of living among them, to teach them the true mean- @ of democratic liberty or to gain their good will as neigh- Ors in a common community. Instead, greed was given full fin to exploit them. Thus, ignorance was permitted to w in its own rotten juices and it brought forth a dish of .

Good Stories | Anybody is better off for having heard good stories, clean stories, told by a born story teller. Because a good story _ is good in itself, and, well told, is bound to let loose the laugh germ. And laughter is healthy. Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday anniversary will be celebrated on February 12, was an acknowledged leader oth as a teller and inventor of apt stories. The story- * telling habit became a part of his nature, and he gave free rein to it. Even when the fate of the nation seemed to be trembling in the balance, Lincoln could tell a funny story. “That, and a laughable book, were an outlet for the agony he undergoing in his sout. incoln’s supply of stories seemed as unfailing as a rock nt He always had one on tap.

Concerning his songs, Bernard says: “'l never “work” at song compo sition, but it until the idea comes Usually I think of a title on the title.

FRANK CRANE . (Copyright, 1919, by Frank Crane) which is another of God's titles, and is of wondrous soundness. The Great Truths are all Youthful. It is Lies that are decrepit. It is not Years but Fears that make us grow old. It is Faith that keeps the wrinkles out of hearts, and it is Doubt that brings senility and rots our bones. And it is Love that is the Resurrection Fact. For it is Love that peoples Heaven, since if we did not love we should not per- || sist in believing in immortality. And even as Love brings children into this existence, so Love will not let them be annihilated in the next. Beauty also has the secret of eternity. Did not the poet say that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever’? So that if you can return to the lici- ties of Beauty, and learn to suck delight from sky and flower, thrill at the sound of falling waters, send your soul up to soar with the birds, and get drunk upon the red wine of sunsets, you have discovered the Fountain. Within you is that Fountain. Retrace your steps, and fare backward into your Self. Clear away Fears, Doubts, Hates, Worries, and all the bitter things you have created to bedevil yourself withal. Deep in the center of your Self is the Fountain of Youth. You will know it; for there by it sit the three sisters, Faith, Hope and Love, the rock from which it gushes is called Truth, and the secret reservoir that feeds it forever is none other than God Himself.

When surgeons discovered that it was their own infected fingers which carried germs into wounds they set about trying to discover) a means whereby their hands could | be rendered surgically clean, 1. ¢., free from germs, The whole realm of chemistry was ransacked for agents which would disinfect hands, and the scrubbings and immersions to which they subjected their hands are even yet @ tender memory to all surgeans of that period, But all of these efforts proved useless and at last in despair surgeons took to wearing rubber gloves which could be boiled, thus bringing to each patient, am it were, a fresh pair of sterile hands, In other words, try as you will you can’t by any known method make your hands absolutely clean. ‘The great agent in the spread of those diseases whose causative on ganism 1s present in the secretions of the mouth and nose, is the human hand, and ff saliva was bright green wo would be amazed at the color of our fingers. As a matter of fact most of us carry our fingers to our mouth or nose many times daily, there ta implant the germs of dis- ease which other careless people have spread about, there to collect a fresh cargo of infectious material to scatter for somebody else.
