WARBLINGS FROM UK WAWASEt Weekly Review of Happenings Around Wawasee Briefly Told (By Mrs. Amanda L. Xanders) The South Shore is fast becoming a deserted village. With but few exceptions the summer colony have gone to their winter homes, or they have migrated with the birds to the sunny South, or are preparing to take flight at the first sign of real winter weather; some have crossed the blue Atlantic Ocean, to revel in the sights and scenes made famous by the history of centuries; or mayhap to enjoy the flesh p ts of Egypt, a-la Paree; or to sit at the feet of one of its many ancient institutions of learning. Others are booked for a Mediterranian cruise that leaves New York in January, on a two or three months cruise, and includes the countries that border on that great Sea. Not content, (hey go down into Egypt, to Jriew the tomb of the recently resurrected ancient, and once more famous or infamous, just as you please, h.ng Tut Still others are crossing or soon will cross the occasionally calm Pacific Ocean, to winter in the Paradise of the Pacific —Honolulu. and there while away, the hours, the days and the months, id a climate so ideal that ' G< (. seems nearer and Heaven seems dearer than yesterday to me,” in a country so wonderously fair and at the same time so colorful, in its blooming trees and flowers, ; is well and truly been ; by a master hand Lord thcliff as a bit of Paradise, dropped in Southern Seas. “'Those of the Summer colony Who are still here, for business reasons, are not only having a pretty good time but have been permitted from day to day to witness such a spectacular display of nature, all along the road side and in the forests, as we never saw in Indiana before: -a wealth of vivid coloring, rivalling in its magic beauty, Joseph's coat of many colors Never before in Indiana have wc witnessed Old Mother Earth from day to day. with deft fingers. give a brighter touch to hei own handy-work.

SAVING CERTIFICATES The postmaster of this country -; has become a recognized power ’ I in government finance, according ■ • to a statement issued by Wm. B. Bosworth, Government Savings Director for the Seventh Federal s Reserve District. Between Jan- ' uary Ist and September 30th this year they sold for\the federal government $154,300,0bQ-worth of 4% U. S. Treasury Savings CerI tificates. This is an increase of thirty-four million dollars over t sales made during the same - period last year. r "In the average sized town the 1 postmaster holds a unique posiy tion,” said Mr. Bosworth, “for he ei knows most of his patrons per- - ’ sonally. He knows when a man 1 sells a piece of property. He 1 knows when a widow receives c life insurance funds. -He knows - when a farmer sells his crops or i some live stock. He is not only ft [in position to sell his patrons z Treasury Certificates ranging in • price from $20.50 to $4,100 but - he can and does warn his pat- -■ r> ns against wildcat st ck salesr men that infest every prosperous s community. In this way he helps t hanks and other legitimate finan- * rial institutions protect the savJ rings of people not accustomed to 1 deal in investments.’’ r j The Treasury Department has i j’ust issued another edition of its r recent booklet entitled “How f Other People Get Ahead” which 1 , tells the essentials of good in- “ vestment as well as the danger e signs of bad investment.

PYTHIAN SISTERS MEET On account of bad weather and -a great deal of sickness, the - county district meeting of the 1 Pvthian Sisters held here ' last ' Friday, did not prove to be the 1 success the local lodge had hoped ; for. There was no sickness in ’ Syracuse, but at Warsaw and Mother cities illness prevented ' most of the delegates from comJ ing. However, the program ar--1 ranged here was carried out by the local members and a big dinner was served at noon. The rest of the time was spent in social commingling. ) o ’ SCHOOL JANITOR RESIGNS i After more than 14 years of ’ service as a janitor of the Syracuse Public Schools, Wm.

, SYRACUSE HIGH : SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest Our High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. ’ Interesting as well as instrucf tice chapel exercises were con- { ducted Tuesday morning by the i Rev. Mr. Cremean. After readi ing a passage of Scripture from > the fourth chapter of St. Mat- » thew he selected from it a word i in the original Hebrew meaning, » ‘to make fit, sound, or perfect.” . This same Hebrew word was f found At other places in the Bible [■ to mean "to mend,” "to restore,” . “to adjust,” and “to tune.” In . conclusion the speaker made a I itting application for us to use i ' right living. The seventh graders lead thus > far in earning money for the film . [ und. This energetic organiza- [ tion held a candy sale Saturday which netted $7.25. The Juniors lold popcorn at the basketball ’ rame Friday evening, but have . tot reported any fabulous inrease in wealth. : ihe spirit of Hallowe’en is al.eauy with us, Ihe lower grade present a gay appearance with their festive decorations | .nat seem to foretell parties foi > .text week. The Seniors have . .ssued invitations to the annual . nigh school party which will be • neld Saturday evening, while the <*th and Bth grades vie with one t mother in plans for their Halowe’en celebrations. No wondei hat parents as well as teachers re glad that Hallowe’en "comes ut once a year.” - Mabel Phebus furnished musk ’ t\;r the opening exercises Friday lorning by playing the following piano selections: The Spirit f Progress, Gondelleid, and Tam J’Shanter. Athletics The husky Leesburg High School basket ball team gave j Syracuse a lesson in basket ball , Friday night to the tune of 20 I nd 5. Although the Syracuse [ ‘earn was outclassed at nearly 'very turn of the game, it did i show a great fighting spirit, the nost essential thing in any ath- , 'etic event. Leesburg has a great I basket ball team, and with steady ’”ork will develop into a strong district contender. The Syracuse ' team was verv erratic, but con- ; sidering the facts that it was Syracuse’s first game for the seaj ’an, while it was the third for I t.eesburg and that for some men> . hers of the team it was their first ’ wnv* before a large crowd which , would tend to make them nervous, the outlook is not at all dis- ‘ couraging for Syracuse. , Pierceton plays here Friday ; night and as Pierceton’s team is . strong, a good game is guarante- ; ?d the fans. 1 o r PASTOR INSTALLED Rev. R. N. McMichael was formally installed as pastor of the Cromwell-Syracuse-Nappanee Lutheran narish with special serr vices in Grace Lutheran church r at Syracuse last Sunday morning r and afternoon. Rev. A. B. Garman, Missionary Superintendent of the Michigan Synod, preached the sermon in the morning and gave the official charge to the pastor. . Rev. P. M. Brosey of Goshen * gave the sermon-charge to the • -ongregation in the afternoon. ' Then followed the installation of ‘ the pastor. ‘ At noon the three congregations gathered for a dinner in ! the basement of the church. Over ! 200 partook of the good*things to eat. • All the services were well attended. r o ; DIVORCE GRANTED 1 The divorce action of Anne E. Judv against James M. Judy of Svracuse was heard by Judge L. W. Rnvse in circuit court last week Wednesday and Judge Roy- ‘ se announced that a divorce * wnuH be granted. The matter 5 of alimony was held up temporarily. > o TONSILS REMOVED Junior Bachman underwent an operation laflt Friday for the s moral of his tonsils. He is getr ting akng nicely and expects to - be back in school in a few davs. Dr. C. R. Hoy performed the M operation.

TEACHING PUBLIC HEALTH The following examination pa--1 per was turned in by an Indiana | school girl in one of the classes in Hbme Nursing under the direction of a public health nurse, is doubtful whether even a trained public health officer could give a clearer statement in reference to fundamental health facts: “It is because of ignorance of the facts concerning the methods of communication of the various diseases, their ? source and causes that so many erroneous beliefs are 1 still prevalent among some ‘ classes of people. If people ’ would only familiarize them- ; selves with the simple facts concerning these things, they 5 would see that their beliefs • are erroneous as well as unfounded and could help a 1 great deal toward the better- ’ ment of these conditions.” ! A damp cellar has absolutely no connection with diphtheria, as s the disease germs which carry it i nre not found or bred in such ■ nlaces. The only way by which r s he disease may be contracted is ; Nv coming in contact with tho 1 d’seharges from the nose and ! ‘hroat of a patient, occasionally ■ hy drinking infected milk. Another erroneous belief is • that night air is harmful. It is ; no more harmful than day air, ■ the only difference being in i lack of sunshine, This fact alone is not enough to make it harmful. : I’here are no more disease cari riers in the night air than there s ire in the day. There is, how- ■ ever, the dew which usually : makes the air damper than dur- ■ ing the daytime, and for this reason care should be taken not to get damp feet from walking in : the grass or the outer clothing damp through lack of proper wraps. Don’t be afraid of night air. It is chill which makes people take . :old in the dark hours, not a i mysterious something in the air. Protect yourself against sudden chill and the night air won’t cause you to catch cold but, on i the contrary, give you health. A cold should never be "stufI fed” or a fever "starved.” In • either case a special diet should 1 be taken by the patient, .which has been prescribed by the docI tor. The over-feeding of a per- ■ son with a cold does not necessarily cure it but only increases ‘he complications, as no one, sick ’ ">r well, should be over-fed. • Starving of a person who has a ‘ fever is just as bad, for everyone in any condition must have ■ some nourishment to subsist on whether it be liquid or solid. No one needs a tonic in the spring any more than at any other time of the year. Tonics should never be taken unless der the direction of a physician. The bodily resistance may have been decreased during the ’ winter through lack of fresh air » ir exercise but spring is the time • to build up and put new life ■nto our bodies. Do not depend ■’pon patent tonics to do the building up but let fresh air, exercise and fresh vegetables and ’ fruit have full sway, nature’s •>w"n remedies, and you will soon ; he all rip-ht again if indeed there was anvthing wrong with you in 1 the first place. ' Another unfounded belief is that the health of a family would be endangered if a tuberculosis 1 hospital were placed in the next ! block. Consumption is caused by a minute vegetable organism call’d bacillus tuberculosis. It is ‘ spread chiefly in two ways: (1) ’hrough any bodily discharges : from infected persons, especially through the nose and mouth discharges: (2) through milk from infected cows. The discharges ! from the patients at the hospital would be well taken care of. It 1 is the duty of the family to investigate their milk supply. Therefore since tuberculosis is carried in these wavs, a hospital has nothing to do with its spread. z Everyone has consumption germs in his body but they do • not always win. The best way to insure against tuberculosis is to keep up the bodily resistance. Resistance is lowered by breathj ing foul air. lack of good food, slow starvation, anxiety, sorrow, intemnerance and sickness of any kind. Cleaning un the back yard does not necessarily protect the children of a family from infantile i paralysis, but it should be done and kept done not only for ap- ■ nearance but to get rid of breed- > ing places for flies which carry . many other contagious diseases, s Recent experiment have proven that the nose, mouth and bowel

MOODY BIBLE INSTITUTE The opportunity is now open ito young men and women 5 throughout the country, whe - would like to take advantage of . free training for Christian seri vice offered by the Moody Bible ij Institute of Chicago, to enter the -[lnstitute’s evening classes while : j pursuing some regular employment for any who would like to follow' this plan.

Dr. i W. J. White, health officer of the i boom city, is making a determin- ■ ed drive to rid Gary of hundreds I? f unsanitary, disreputable shacks scattered throughout the southern part of the city. > This is the first cleanup drive i against unsanitary living quart- , ers which has been conducted r since Gary was founded, and as a s result more that 1200 of these shacks, Remnants of the boom days of the” steel industry, are slated for destruction. Gary Realtors are co-operating in finding living quarters for per • sons ordered to vacate condemn ed properties, and plans are al- > going forward for replacing old buildings with moderr. apartment houses and dwellings. o AUTO RACE AT GOSHEN * Another big automobile race is , scheduled for Sunday October 28. , at the Goshen fair grounds with Ralph Ormsby, Sam Ross and ; other noted dirt track drivers i participating. The main events will start promptly at 2:3b o’clock with the trials at one ! Instead of a 100-mile event, tht races will be 40 and 35 miles respectively, as this is far mor< satisfactory from a patron’s standpoint, especially at this time of year. A record crowd is ex pected.

Further experiments have proved that healthv persons associated wdth infantile r analysis cases may harbor the infection in their noses and throats. In view of these facts there is no nossible connection between the back yard and the spread of the disease.”

SOME THINGS TO ft . ' : THINK ABOUT I B Review of Things by the Editor . As He Sees Them on the Surface, ft i In the book of Proverbs there f.are observations about avoiding r j causes of quarrels, and Solomon r says: "A word fitly spoken is like , apples of gold in pictures of sil- - ver.” 3 Be discreet in words. Don’t - dwell upon bygone troubles, i Don’t talk about ill health or sickness. Nothing is worse un- ) less it is the actual endurance. i of these afflictions. Talk hanpiness, talk faith, talk health. "Say you are well, or all is well with you, and God shall hear your words and make them f true.’* • Self-control in speech is one of 5 the most important things in life ’ —one of the cardinal virtues. • The happiness of many a fair life ■ »s ruined by want of power to ’ suppress the word of bitterness, contempt or anger, even under what might be called "reasonable • provocation.” 1 And then in regard to the ab- ■ sent ones. Never allow yoursfelf mder any circumstances to cri1 Meise any member of your family, not even in conversation with our dearest friend. And in re-) yard to your friends. Do you 'snow that one of the hardest ‘hings that men say about vomen is that their talk is large'*z gossip? And of what does this rossip consist? The latest scand'l. Unkind words about persons vhom they might greet with the varmpst profession of friendship f they were to come in a mom- > 'nt after the gossip ended. Do not mrlign your absent riends. What is friendship ! vorth if the moment the person s out of sight the tongue that as professed affection becomes • ’ poison fang, and the lips which r »ve the kiss utter words of ridi'ule? Refuse to let your ear beomn the graveyard of another’s eputation. There are times w’hen eeping still is wisdom; it is love; ' • is Christianity. Learn to conrol your tongue. There is a strong tendency In his country’ toward paternalism, rom which it is only another ten to Socialism. Every man who aspires to poli■cal distinction is cudgeling his 'rain to think of somp new law hat he can have passed that will ike some of the responsibility ff the shoulders of the individib- '! and place it upon the governnent Our statute books are piling *n indefinitely, and the things! 'f which we complain are contantly becoming more burdensome., And the remedy is more W. What we need is less law and more enforcement. \ Every impractical and chimpri'al statute that is. placed upon the books to gratify some budding statesman who wants the credit of doing something, adds to the growing contempt for law In general. Good citizenship is the thing to be desired, and the way to make a good citizen is to placer -esponsibilities upon him. Let iim understand that if things: 're awry in his community he is t least partly to blame. Do not ’et him think that the trouble Is with the law. It nnny be true that a very irge proportion of existing laws •re “class” laws—enactedjfor the ’'enefit of some combination or 'orporation, but more laws of ‘hat character will not help the ituation. Instead of more laws bout one-half of those in force hould be nullified, and it would 'nd could be done if the right \ind of men were elected by the people. This may not be ortholox party argument, but loyaltjto community, to state and to nation should receive first consideration at the hands of eyerj' true American citizen. The United States is not the only nation that elects rajl-spHt" ters and canal-boat drivers to the presidency. Tsao Kun, the new nresident of the Republic of China, was a door-to-door peddler in Peking and a hard earnest worker. You can’t tell a future President may be working in Syracuse to-day. If the good die young, how do you account for bald-headed editors?
