DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL FRIDAY, DECEMBER air t 1922.
Always the Same Dreamt.
What la called science has always
pursued the elixir of life and the phi
losopher's atone, and is Just as busy
after them today as ever it was In the
flay of Porax?elstis. We call them by
different names, Immunization or radi
ology, or what not; but the dreams
which lure us into the adventures
from which we learn are always at
bottom the same.—Bernard Shaw.

Little by little the Jokesmith's stock
In trade is being depleted through sci
entific discovery. An English profes
sor now declares that people get
sleepy during the sermon because they
hypnotize themselves gazing fixedly at
tije preacher. It is not because they
are inattentive, but because they are
too attentive. Therefore, Jokes on the
sqbject are not knocks for the parson,
bqt boosts.

Tuberculosis Preventable
If tuberculosis is preventable, why
then is It not prevented? Are the
thousands who are to die during the
coming year worth the saving? If we
knew that we should be among the
number, should we not think it a ter
rible thing? if the treatment is simply
hygiene, is it not strange that we are
not willing to live hygienically until
after we have contracted the disease?
If 200,000 people die annually of
tuberculosis in the United States, and
an equal number are cured of the dis
ease by sleeping and living in the
open air, why would it not have been
better for them to have lived and
slept in the open air before they got
sick, and thus have avoided the dis
ease? If sleeping and living in the
open air is good for the sick, why
is it not good for the well? Is it not
better to stay well than to be cured
of tuberculosis?
If typhoid fever is preventable, why
then is it not prevented? The pre
vention of typhoid is not a matter of
medical science any longer; it is
only a question of public _and per
sonal sanitation. Why swallow the
germ at all, and if it must be swal
lowed, why is it not killed first by
boiling or otherwise?
If smallpox is preventable, why then
is It not completely prevented? It is
only a matter of universal vaccination
and is no longer a question of medical
science; it is one of personal suicide
if you die of smallpox.
If syhpilis and other venereal dis
eases are preventable, why then are
they not prevented. They are caused
by specific germs, and no one need
become infected with these germs un
less they want to. The prevention of
this class of diseases is no longer a
, quostion of medical science; it is one
! of personal choice.
I The Lord of creation has given man
dominion over the world and the full
ness thereof, which includes the choice
of good and evil, and incidentally the
means of life and death.
LIME FOR THE TEETH.
Lime water made of common lump
lime like masons use to make mortar
is perhaps the very best mouth wash;
It cleanses the teeth perhaps better
than anything. It should be held in
! the mouth and forcefully made to gc
| in and out betSveen the teeth until
i it froths. The lime dissolves and re
moves the mucin that accumulates on
the'*teeth. Brush and floss the teeth
three times a day.

Of all the days of the year, Christmas is the most celebrated—and justly so. It is the anniversary of the
greatest personage the world has ever known— our blessed Savior.
it is a day of good cheer that touches the hearts of every one, from the youngest IittleUtot who has any
conception of Santa Claus, to the one, ripe in age, who is waiting the summons to meet the One whose birth
we celebate.
In the Christ spirit, “Peace on Earth and Good Will to Man,” the peace that passeth ail understanding, the
unselfish desire that every one should be happy, this Bank wishes you, one and all, a Merry Christmas.
We take this means of thanking our friends for the pleasant relations existing between us during the past
year. > s
This is the time when we make resolutions for the new year which lies before us. The. coming year is
largely going to be what you and I make it. If every one will do their best to make the most of every op
portunity presented, seize the opportunity with joy, and not take hold of it half-heartedly, as though it were
a painful duty to be relucantly endured, but do all that is expected of us and a little bit more, and at the same
time try to do a little something to help the other fellow, we will all be prosperous and happy.
The above is embodied in our resolution for next year and at the same time we resolve to give our friends
and customers the very best in banking service. On this basis we unhesitatingly inviteyour bankingbusiness.
