OF INTEREST TO $ WOMEN CLUB NEWS PERSONALS Jock O' Dreams When the sun goes down and the world is still, Then Jock O' Dreams comes over the hill; Over the hill he quietly slips, Holding his finger to his lips. His golden hair is as pale as the moon, He has two bright stars on his velvet shoon; Soft his step as an elfin dance, !His sea-blue eyes have an elfin glance. v The Dreams he carries are light as air, He tosses them here, he tosses them there,. In at the windows, under the doors, All the way up to the attic floors. Through the silent streets he goes walking about Till the moon drops down and the stars go out; Then lightly swinging his empty sack, Softly, softly, he wanders back. A cold little wind runs over the ground, A sleepy bird makes a tiny sound, The sky in the East grows rosily f red, The children murmur and turn, in their bed.

C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1934 iiV The Glands "I'm constantly hearing about glands; I don't know what they are, or what they do. Is a tonsil a gland and why are they so often removed?" writes an inquiring mother. | There are many varieties of glands, all of which are important. They are located in different parts of the body, but are all connected Smart Wash Prints for Sewing By CHERTE NICHOLAS COMES now the season when fancy, or is It stern duty, turns to thought* of getting the household sewing done and out of the way be fore yielding to the magic spell of spring days which entice to the joys of the great out-of-doors. Lacking inspiration, we suggest that you make the rounds of the wash fabric displays which are glorying the aisles of all up-and dolng dry goods establishments these days. In qome unexpiainable way the prospect of doing family sewing Is apt to take on a sudden lure and glamor as one fondles the lovely new waffle piques which are so prominently displayed this season, likewise the smart twin-print dimi ties, the dainty crinkled organdies in pastel colorings, also the plalded cottons which make such smart shirt waist frocks for the Important minded junior Miss, and the per fectly fascinating sheer batistes, handkerchief linens and Swisses and point d'esprit nets which tell you at first glance their mission is to be made up into party frocks. Assuming that "children first" Is mother's 'slogan when the sewing campaign begins, a few hints and suggestions as to the general trend of juvenile fashions may be wel comed at this time. For instance, it might help a bit to know that dresses of the heavier practical cot tons such as broadcloth and the very attractive calico prints and percales g« in decidedly for school girlish effects this season. A dress which answers to the call for utmost simplicity and one which accents the charms of the growing girl because of its bright red and white coloring, its big bow tie and -iiiiiiiiuMiMiiMiiiMiiiiiiiiiimiiiismimiimiMiimmmiiimimiiiimiim Member Federal Home Loan Bank System SUPREME!

The liver is a gland which man ufactures bile; a very useful fluid which flows into a duct or tube, that conducts it into the intes tines. If this tube gets stopped up, the person becomes jaundiced, because the bile is absorbed into the blood and distributed through out the system. " | The tonsils are glands that you have heard much about, because they are so often removed. They are located in the throat. They can be seen sticking out like soft, its wide turnover collar is shown to the left In the trio of pretty wash dresses pictured. Dressmak ing Items to take note of in the other schoolgirl dress is the fact that the skirt is gored, the shoul der line Is broadened by means of sleeves which have extended pleats while the collar buttons at each shoulder with one tie-end pulled through a loop in the unique man ner illustrated. And now while we are upon the subject of practical print wash dresses suppose we consider the needs of big sister as well as those of the little school-faring members of the household. The favor for daisy motifs so pronounced last sea son bids fair to continue this spring and summer. The daisy print employed for the dress on the young woman standing to the right In the picture Is ever so atractlve In its fresh springlike coloring of white and yellow fiowers on a lettuce green background. The majority of the new wash dresses are fashioned with gored skirts as is t!its one. Pointed-at-the-top sleeves give breadth to the shoulders. The stir plioe collar takes on a rather wide organdie ruffling which is joined to the daisy print with a tiny lace beading which suggests fagoting. © by Western Newspaper I'nion fleshy tissue. We do not know the exact functions of the tonsil, but they were created fpr a useful purpose which they serve as long as they are healthy. Children are born with sound tonsils, but great numbers of them become diseased in a few years. Probably colds cause many of the inflammations that leave the ton sils crippled. There are other fac tors that are inmicable to tonsil health. Adenoids drop poisonous infections material on the tonsils anS break them down. When the tonsils become permeated with pu3, which is absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the sys tem, the body resistance is broken down. Bright's disease, rheuma tism, even of the heart, or infec tious diseases of any kind may be contracted. Attention to the general rules of hygiene, proper diet, a clean mouth and general physical well-being, are the greatest preventatives against diseased tonsils that we know. If a tonsil becomes thor oughly diseased, there seems to be no method of cure. It continues ts devastating work of sending pus and poisons into the blood stream. Not only does it damage the body in this way, but the pus is fre quently swallowed, causing the de velopment of stomach trouble. Diseased tonsils often produce abscesses in the tissues surround ing them. The name for this is Quinzy. The only cure is removal of the tonsils. You have seen that diseased tonsils are a "focus of infection," suppose that they have caused, say rheumatism in the knee, or a diseased heart, will the removal of the tonsil cause the disappearance of the trouble? No, it will not. You have waited too long. The "focus of infection" was the tonsils, but they continue pouring pus ind germs into the blood stream until it became lodged in some other part of the body, where it set up a diseased condition, which remains after their removal. The disease may get better after the tonsils are out, but if a rheu matic -heart, or Bright's disease has developed, you cannot expect a cure by taking out the tonsils, though the condition will be im proved. Normal tonsils should not be re moved. Diseased tonsils should always be taken out, for they can be a constant menace to health and serve no useful purpose, and are even life itself. Hie operation for removing ton sils has been perfected in the lftst few years so that it is now quite safe. But this operation, like most others, went through many stages of development before it reached its present perfection of technique. NATION'S ACCIDENT BILL ENORMOUS Chicago.—The National Safety Council estimates that the Nation's accident bill for 1933 was $2,000,- 000,000 in wage loss and medical expenses, 89,500 lives and 8,500,000 disabling injuries.

The politician who neglects his family and grows apart from his wife and children, is very apt to find, near the end of life's jour ney, that he has purchased pub lic glory at the cost of intimate love from those who should be closets to him. He may find that his children's mother means fur more to them and they to her than he does to either of them. And why not? Can a person hold himself apart, giving his at tention to • other things and then when he chooses, call forth the love of human beings with whom he has lost all contact, years ago. Most certainly not. I know a famous club woman, to the best of my knowledge, the good of the town and its inhabi tants has been her foremost thought for years. She has work ed for parks, playgrounds, librar ies, better schools, D. A. R. memo rials, etc., all of which are very worthy causes, indeed. But she has failed her own family while she worked so earnestly for every other woman's. For days upon days she has been away from home, working for one cause or the other. In the meantime her children have been left with hired help and her hus band has amused himself in the evenings as best he could. I doubt if the -library which OUR GREAT FEBRUARY SALE is in progress and hundreds of people are making big savings on their furniture. Just look at these ex tremely low prices.

C., Next to Kress bears her name today quite make* up to her for the lack of confi dences from the young daughters who are just out of school and are considered even by the younger set, as rather wild. Oh, they have great respect for the "mater," but would choope her as the very last person in whom to confide. They failed to get the habit during those years when mother was so busy improving the town and it is too late now. I doubt if all the eulogies of the press and the pretty compliments of the leading citizens quite make' up to this very estimable woman for th£ fact thathhre r husband still finds his evening amusement* away from home. I am not decrying politicians or club women. I heartily admire both the former and the latter if they are honestly interested in what they are doing and if they can be what they are and still fuN fill their family jobs. But their families should not be neglected. I am old fashioned enough to think that they shoal'J come first with every husband or wife. I do not mean this in a sel fish sense but I do think that each one of us should realize our re sponsibility to those we have brought into the world and to the one we promised to love "forsak ing all others."
