If we give it we should in all fairness decide it soon and begin plans. The final shopping days before Christmas are at hand and in the rush don’t forget to drop a dollar or two in the Good Fellow fund. One firm sent in a ten dollar bill this morning. That's the right spirit. Help make the little fellows happy on Christmas day. The cold wave finally staggered through Chicago but when it arrived here it could scarcely have been recognized by those who a few days before watched its didos in the northwest. The temperature here dropped to about zero last night but its real decent winter weather and beats the rainy season for Christmas week a hundred ways. This is the Christmas season. The young folks are home from school the local schools have dismissed for a two-week's vacation, there is a spirit of Christmas permeating. Don’t forget what this season celebrates. Go to your church tomorrow and help your pastor impress young and old with the red reason for Christ mas. It should mean more than just the cold giving of a gift and it should include the remembrance of the poor and unfortunate. F. M. Schirmeyer who was chairman of the board of directors for Old Home Week in 1912 will call his committee together in a few days to discuss the possibilities for a repetition of the event in the autumn of 1925 The committee originally included twelve members. Os these nine are still in business here, two have moved away and one is deceased. The de cision of the matter will no doubt depend on the interest manifested by the people here and elsewhere and their liberality in subscribing for a fund with which to give the big show. We will be glad to publish any suggestions for or against the proposed event. It means a lot of work but we think it worth it. What do yon think? The report of Harry S. New, post-master-general in which he urges an increased postage rate to newspap-' ers of one hundred per cent also shows a loss of over $14,000,000 in his department. Did it ever occur to tho -'<• in charge of the postoffices that they could save twice that shortage by cutt’ng off the frauk privilege to the live hundred congressmen and senators and the various departments at Washington? Millions of copies of speeches that were never made, reports that, are never read and every kind of a document they can find are printed at a great cost to the government and mailed out at the cost of the people aud its a net loss which does less than one-tenth of one per cent good. The way to eliminate expen' s is to cut out a lot of ueedleas cost. If 'they do this there will be n<> need of increasing postal rates and Hid men who work at the mail service can have a reasonable increase in pay. it we ar* going to b* thrlff -hy not start in the departm*n' at Washington aud in cod-

Face to Face With Bernarr Macfadden » Physical Culturist 1 (By JOE MITCHELL CHAPPLE) i 1 Sipping water on a week fast from ' a glass upon his desk, working like a generator. 1 found Bernarr Macfadden in his building on Broadway. As a physical culturist leader, this slender fit human at fifty-seven has conclusively proven by practice as well as theory that physical culture has much to do with real living. He was a pioneer and suffered all the hard knocks and pangs of disappointment that came on the frontier of a new cult. Bernarr Macfadden first began physical culture in his cradle at Mill Springs. Missouri, on the day he was born. There was little time for rocking the cradle, and ever since he has been a living proof of one who has overcome a great physical handicap. l A slender lad. with very little const!- 1 tution to build upon, early in life he[ grew up with the' determination to win health and become a wrestler, i There were predictions that he would never reach manhood's estate, hut he went to St. Louis, and during the time he was buffeted about he began the study of everything relating to the human body and physical ulture. He wrote about it and publishers rejected. Then he decided o launch his own magazine and devote it to "Physical Culture." The year 1898 marks the launching of his Physical Culture campaign. In lis first book. "IJow to Develop Muscular Power and Beauty." followed by ‘The Building of Vital Power,” he made an impression upon the popular mind and followed these books with an "Encyclopedia of Physical Colure" Other books followed in quick mccession, his latest being "Physical ’ulture for Babies." which indicates lis conviction of beginning early in orrecting false notions of living and giving every child a chance. A publishing business of eleven popular magazines, notably among which is "The True Story Magazine,’’! with a circulation of several millions, is one result of rejected manuscripts! and sneers. Purchasing the “Metro-' >ol tan Magazine,” with which Theo-' lore Roosevelt was associated, later le has a public as widely varied as t is widely scattered over the world. Kt 3 o’clock every afternoon the lundreds of employees go through his .'stem of physical exercises in his ifiiees, for Bernarr Macfadden beieves first in broadcasting at home what he advocates abroad. A medium sized man, with a great shock of hair, clear blue eyes, sharp, pointed nose, indicating the keen prevision powers of his Irish ancestors. Bernarr Macfadden is a picture of health. Amid a mass of papers and documents, he prepares his editorial announcements. "Physcultopathy," the science of healing through physical culture methods, is Bernarr Macfadden s profess on. but he is seen at liis best when with his family. Mrs.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1924.

.. V®.. BERNARR MACFADDEN says: !j "When I think of the thousands of I lives that might be saved by just a - little more attention to physical culI ture, it makes me feel sad, and then i i my indignation is aroused. We give so much more attention to many othi er things, forgetting that building i bodily strength increases capacity for mental power.”

'Macfadden is an enthusiast concerning her husband's cult. Father and [ mother playing together—with a family of seven children (six girls and. one infant son) —is a picture of home life that looks real. Each one of his daughters have de-, veloped some particular physical skill. They go through their gymnastics, not only in the fields, but before the fireplace right in the home, where "mother and father can see them." Dancing and somersaults — ! every phase of rhythmn motion made them models of the vitality of youth. 1 A Urge family of children, all healthy’ and sturdily developed, is in itself a parental blessing. At his home in' Nyack. New York, is an illustration' of what physical culture can do in the rearing of a family. First of all a father, the vital interest manifest-! ed in his own family life he has been* busify extending on to the greater! family of humanity. There is no stopping this Physical Culturist dynamo. He has recently) planned to launch a new daily in New York called "The Graphic,”) which has some well defined and dis-' ' tinct policies. All his life his chiefi I concern has been that which is of vital .concern to every human being* —health. Abstemious in habits, he >ven excludes tobacco, insisting tnat the use of every ounce of physical rower that he possesses is needed for the full play of every faculty, mental and physical, to be used for the benefit of h's fellow men in his work. After a long day in his office Bernarr Macfadden turned and said, looking at the picture of his family of seven on the wall: "When I think of the thousands of lives that might be saved by just a little more attention to physical culture it makes me feel sad. and then my indignation is aroused. We give i so much more attention to many oth- ■ er things, forgetting that buiming . bodily strength increases capacity for mental power. We cannot have a welt ordered brtiin unless it has sound . physical support.”

■ being done the wrong way. They never offer to help; they have no suggestions for bringing success to the project; they invariably refuse Io contribute if funds are needed. But after the campaign is won. after the work is done, after the goal is attained, they rise up in noisy dissertation. They criticise the leaders. They explain how this should have been done and bow that should have been handled. They know exactly what was the matter. They assure you in fraiak confidence that if they had been in charge the undertaking would have gone over with a- bang the very first day. But they are the folks who always—without exception ,—are very conspicuous by their ab seiice on the first day and on every other day until the fight is over •Their talk worries nobody bccauu everybody knows that anybody cat shoot par goW at the "nineteenth’ hold. It’s the man who does his beat all the way from the first to th* eighteenth who serves his cotomun ity. Those who wait until the "nine teenth" hole to begin playing don't count because the game is over then and the scores are all in.— Lebanor Reporter.
