Pneumonia, sore throat, colds and
respiratbry diseases are with us, and
for the next few months we should be
careful in coming in close contact with
other people, avoid closed places
where people are not well. Many oi
our winter diseases so-called are
spread by secretions from the nose and
throat. i
Diphtheria is a dangerous disease
If neglected in the very earliest stage \
When the child complains of a sore-
throat, don’t delay. Call your docioi
early.

What Do You Want?
By Christopher G. Hazard
TXTdlEN the boy passed the baker’s
shop on his way to school, he
used to look with longing upon the
display of pies and cokes and resolve
In his heart that If fortune should ]
ever bless him with means he would'
have enough of a feast for once. But
when, in after years, he pussed the
same old shop and looked upon the
new treasures of the old window, now
with a pocketful of money, he hnd,
ceased to care for the goodies, and
went on, jingling Ills useless coins.
What do we want now? Not what
we used to want. Not more pie, not
more candy, not more toys, not even
more money. The old ambitions have
been realized, the old gouls have been
reached, we have the power of which
we dreamed, there doesn’t seem to be
anything In sight worth running after,
we look out upon a splendid world
with a failing desire for It, we go on
by an acquired momentum ruther than
with zest. Still, we are unsatisfied.
Yet we want something. What Is It?
What do we want? What could the
Christmas time bring us of satisfac
tion?
How would you like to recover that
lost art of Imagination? How would
a large Investment In hope pay you?
What would that strange power of be
holding the reality and the loveliness
of a spiritual world, that mysterious
power that some have, mean to you?
If you could be a child nguln, just for
Christmas Eve, perhaps, you would see
the meaning of the stars that ride so
gloriously upon the billows of space.
You might feel called up and out by
the supreme and satisfying Joy that
Christmas signifies.
After nil, we may have gained the
world and lost faith, nn immeasurable
loss. Only he who keeps his childllkc-
noss—not his childishness—knows the
eternal worth of time, the satisfac
tion of that everlasting love that faith
grasps.
Whnt n Christmas gift that would
be I Was not the old colored preacher
right when he sang, “All I want, all l
want; all I want is a little more faith
in Jesus”?
PEOPLE OF OUR TOWN HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR
Custom of Oriental Countries Is to
Give Special Performances In
the Play Mduses.
/"pHE Oriental methods of greeting
the New Year differ greatly from
ours. In Japan, as well as in other
Oriental countries, special perform*
ances are given In the theaters.
In the temples and shrines priests
and attendants entertain the people
with special dances. The Kugura, or
Sacred Dance With Music, is the fa
vorite, for while it Is being given
prayers are offered for the continued
happiness of the nation during the
coming year. This very old daned Is
performed by young girls, while the
priests are the musicians. All are In
appropriate costume.
Another ceremonial, which has been
handed down for centuries, Is the Shu-
Sal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sanc
tuary. This Is given within the palace
by the Imperial family on January 3,
and It celebrates the founding of the
Imperial house, centuries i.go.
