IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE
Of course I am, and have always
been a small-town man. I prefer
it that way. I can contact my peo
ple at first hand. I can know them
as they are. I get an understand
ing of human nature—facts as well
as foibles—that is impossible for
the city practitioner. And, here I
learn to love my people; had you
ever thought of that ? By the same
token, as hte Irishman said, It is
possible that they learn to love—
possibly hate—me. Pm taking the
risk for that. Here in “the sticks”
I have the golden opportunity of
trying to make them love me.
I have noticed that folks in the
big cities haven’t time to love each
other, unless there is some money
in it one way or the other. The
city dweller does a thing if it
brings him distinct plensure—if
not that, it must be spot cash!
One morning during early
Spring, I saw a little girl of nine,
skurrying along to school; she
was a well-nourished child, appar
ently strong and active. She could
not know what was passing in my
mind, as I gave her the “once
over.” But I observed this:
Her skirt did not reach to heri
knees by two inches. It was good,
heavy fabric. The thermometer was
at 18 above zero—-a very cold
morning. That girl’s knees were
bare! Her stockings were crinkl
ed about her ankles; her calves
and shins were exposed to the
weather. Three of four abrasions
were healing over on her legs
where she had evidently “peeled”
them on the concrete or in a
rough-and-tumble outdoor game. I
caught these points in the half
minute that she was under my ob
servation Then, I reflected what
I’d say to that girl’s mother, if I
had the opportunity. You can
guess what it would have been.
Objecting to her husband’s air
plane flights, Mrs. Emory West
lake of Chicago told the judge that
a married man’s place is on earch,
nit in the air.

FELT SICK
AFTER EATING
“None of my food agreed
with me — I would frequently
taste what I ate, long after my
meals, and I did not see a well
day for weeks,” says Mr. Peter
Seeger, 329 S. Elmwood St.,
Kansas City, Mo. “I began tak*
Ilng a pinch of Black-Draught
after each meal, and kept this up
for#?ireeks. Gradually the pain
left, me and I began to feel better.
I ceased to be troubled with gaat
and could eat what I liked.”

Something that people want.
Now, Pontiac does offer a
