THE GREAT PANACEA
Should someone tell you of an agent
that would cure most every ill; that
would prolong youth and life; that
would make the weak grow strong;
and then this person would supply
you with an unlimited amount of this
remedy, would you not prize it as
valueless and feel greatly indebted to
the giver?
There is just such an agent. It is
free, it is world-wide and each year
science finds new wonders that it will
do. It paints the fruits and flowers
in wonderful colors and can do as
much to the pale cheek. It cleanses,
it purifies, it offers beauty, it gives
energy. It is a bacteriacide and where
it does not enter with its boon com
panion—fresh air—the doctor and the
undertaker go. According to medical
authorities, no disease germ is able,
to live under strong and prolonged
exposure to this wonderful germicide
and that its entrance into our homes
means the exit of malaria, pneumonia,
tuberculosis and other diseases. All
animals seek it as they do food and
water, they love it, and thrive upon it.
Equally important is it to the health,
the mental and physical development
of mankind.
This great panacea is sunshine—
God’s gift of light and life to the
whole world. Sunshine is plentiful;
its business is prosperous and profit
able; no one may hold a monopoly
therefore invest heavily. Be lavish in
your use of it, revel in it for the sup
ply is inhaustable.

FATHER AND SON
By Edgar A. Guest
Be more than his dad,
Be a chum to the lad,
Be a part of his life
Every hour of the day;
Find time to talk with him,
Share in his studies
And share in his play,
Take him to places,
To ball games and races,
Teach him the things
You want him to know;
Don’t live apart from him,
Be his best comrade,
He’s needing you so!
Never neglect him,
Though young, still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride;
Show him his error,
But be not a terror,
Grim-visaged and fearful
When he’s at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It’s easy to learn to
Be such a father
That when troubles gather
You’ll be the first one
For counsel he’ll turn to.
You can inspire him
With courage, and fire him
Hot with ambition
For deeds that are good;
He’ll not betray you
Nor illy repay you,
If you have taught him
The things that you should.
Father and son,
Must in all things be one.
Partners in trouble
And comrades in joy,
More than a dad
Was the best pal you had;
Be such a chum
As you knew, to your boy.
—Detroit Free Press.
THE REASON WHY
Some one has asked why we are not
oposing the presentation of the photo
play which has been placed under the
ban in so many other communities,
and which we so vigorously fought be
fore.
Our reason is this: Inasmuch as
our public officials will not enforce
the law against it, there is no use
waging a losing fight and giving free
advertising to the prejudice produc
ing propaganda which is doing its fell
work in creating segregation senti
ment throughout the country. When
we believed there was a fair chance of
winning we waged an honorable and
dignified fight, backed by some of
the best citizens in the community-.
We secured the passing of an ordin
ance under which the officials can act,
if they desire to do so. They know
how we feel about it. It is up to
them. They have neither the desire
nor the courage to enforce the ordin
ance. Until we have officials who will
enforce the ordinance, it would be the
sheerest folly to renew the fight.

Daddy’s Bedtime
o-o
— _ HOW A SWALLOW
kjLUl U LEFT THUMBELISA.
Flew Out Into the Sun- ^ ^
light.
[Adapted from Hans Christian Andersen.]
IT rained, so the children could not run to meet daddy. They watched for
him at the window. So he told them a nice bedtime story: “Once a tiny
little girl whose name was Thumbelisa nursed a sick swallow in the win
ter time when the ground was all white with snow.
“One night she took it a drink of water, and the swallow told her how,
when it had tried to go south with all its friends, it had torn its wing on a
blackthorn bush. Unable to fly as fast as its mates, it had at last fallen to
the ground. But after that it remembered nothing and could not in the least
tell how it ever got into an old mole's passageway.
“There in the passageway it stayed all winter, and Thumbelisa was kind
to it and fetched it grain to eat and water to drink. She never told either the
old field mouse, with whom she lived, or the old mole, who wanted her to
marry him, because neither of them understood or loved birds.
“As soon as spring came and the sun’s warmth shone on the ground Thum
belisa poked a hole in the old mole’s passageway and let the sunshine stream
in upon her swallow.
“ ‘Won't you sit upon my back and fly away with me into the green woods,
dear?’ one day the swallow asked her. ,
“But Thumbelisa knew it would grieve the old field mouse if she left her
like that. So she said, ‘No, I can’t, dear swallow.’
“ ‘Then goodby. you sweet child.’ said her bird, ‘and thank you so much for
being kind to me.’
“Then the swallow flew out into the bright sunshine. Thumbelisa looked
after her bird, and her eyes filled with tears, for she was very fond of her pet.
“ ‘Tweet, tweet'.' sang the swallow and vanished in the green woods.
“Thumbelisa was very sad. Tbe old field mous. did not allow her to go out
in the sunshine to play for fear some one would steal her. The corn which
was sown in the big field near the old field mouse’s home had grown to be so
high that it was like a thick forest for a little bit of a girl only an inch high.
“ ‘You must be working at your wedding clothes this summer, my dear,'
one day the old field mouse said to her. ‘Our neighbor, the mole, who wears
a black velvet coat, has asked me to let him marry you. You shall have plenty
of woolens and linens and everything you want to clothe yourself with when
you become the mole’s wife.’
“So Thumbelisa had to turn the distaff, and the old field mouse hired four
spiders to spin and weave both day and night,’’ daddy finished, with two big
hugs for Jack and Evelyn.
