MOTHER’S DAY STARTED IN 1904

~Almost half a century ago, a young instructor at the University of Notre Dame made the first known publie plea for nafional observance of Mother’s Day. _ The young professor, the late Frank E. Hering, became widely known as the “Father of Mother’s Day”’—and the movement he set rolling will reach a dramatic high point next Friday (May 12) with the culmination of & -drive “Calling All Mothers.”

Details of this Mother’s‘ Day . tribute were announced here today by the Ligonier Aerie and Auxiliary No. 1763 of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, whose members are activating the society’s na= tion-wide drive—‘Calling All Mothers”—a campaign which last year brought anniversary greetings to 10,000,000 mothers and is expected to reach 20,000,000 this year throughout America.

- Frank Hering made his plea for Mother’s Day February 7, 1904, at an Eagle Memorial service in English’s Opera House, Indianapolis, Indiana. Although a young man, Mr. Hering already had served as president of the South Bend, Indiana, Eagle Aerie.

Before Mr. Hering’s death, he was destined to serve two terms as national president of the Order and to found its official publication — The Eagle Magazine — which still thrives and which he edited for twenty-five years. Mother’s Day was memorialized by the Fraternal Order of Eagles as one of fraternal observance many years before the second Sunday in May became, by Act of Congress in 1914, a day of national devotion, and President Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother’s Day proclamation for May 10 of that same year. ;

Largely through the untiring efforts of Frank Hering, however, several states officially recognized Mother’s Day prior to that date. In Texas, the day was known as “Eagles’ Mother’s Day.” Nebraska made “Eagles’ Mother’s Day” also “State Flag Day” in 1913. - Although a man of wide vision, it is doubtful if Frank Hering could have foreseen—even in his latter years—an observance of Mother’s Day on such a far-flung scale as it will be celebrated Friday over WKJG, Fort Wayne, and in the city’'s in America where Eagles are organized.

CHARLES C. PRICE

We were told the other day, by a man whose opinion we respect, that we backed the wrong horse when we came out for Charles C. Price for the Senatorial nomination in the Democratic Convention. However, our decision was made only after a careful perusal of the facts, and we gstand by those conclusions. We do not hide the fact that our desires to see Mr. Homer Capehart relegated to oblivion are quite strong, and are therefore anxious to see the Democrats select a man who has the opportunity of captunng the voters imagination and win in the Fall. Charles Price seems to have these qualifications in a larger measure than any of the other candidates (unless the Governor should decide to run), and we are lending our small voice to his cam-

THE PRESCRIPTION

A PRESCRIPTION is a personal matter, Whether written by a physician for a pharmacist to fill, or compounded by the doctor himself, it is for a definite ailment of a definite individual. Only through its proper use will the patient derive benefit from it. The prescription is written after the physician has made a study of the patient’s illness; It is tailored to fit the need. Patients should not neglect to follow the direc‘tions as to size and frequency of the dose. Drugs act differently in different people. Children are usually more sensitive to drugs than adults and women are more susceptible to certain drugs than men. The dose of a given drug 'may be satisfactory for one and ‘not another, : - Misuse of a prescription can ‘lead to trouble. Lending a. prescription to a complaining friend, for example, is a well-known and careless act. Taking a double dose 'to feel twice as good as when taking one dose, too, is a dangerous act. A double dose, or doses taken more frequently than indicated, may nullify the benefits, even cause serious reaction. - Depend upon the physician to prescribe what is needed for relief of illness. He understands the jsymptoms and is qualified to recommend the best treatment.

“Doctrine of Atonement” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, April 16. The Golden Text is: “If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (I John 2:1). T Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “I am the good sheEJl]lerd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my g‘g)ther are one” (John 10:14, 27, 29, The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “Jesus represented Christ, the true idea of God. . . . Christ presents the indestructible man, whom Spirit creates, constitutes, and governs. Christ illustrates that blending with God, his divine Principle, which gives man dominion over all the earth” (p. 316). “As a drop of water is one with the ocean, a ray of light one with the sun, even so God and man, Father and son, are one in being ” (p. 361).
