GLADNESS AND SINGING :—Serve
the Lord with gladness: come before his
presence with singing.—Psalm 100:2.
DEFEATING TUBERCULOSIS.
5,1 Census bureau statistics indicate that
'the' Rattle against tuberculosis is gain
ing grouwdiegch year and if the present
program can be maintained it will not
be many years until, disease will be
classed along with -typhoid fH-er and
other maladies which are notv controlled.
The census bureau figures show that
the number of deaths from tuberculosis
per 100,000 population declined from 150
in lftlS to 97.4 last year,, taking the
country as a whole. Some Southern
States show an average higher than the
national average, but the same is also
true of northern States. In the South
the high rate is undoubtedly due to
deaths from the disease among the ne
groes. and it shows also that the States
must devote more attention to the curb
ing of the disease among the colored cit
izens.
Every person is offered an excellent
opportunity to assist in this work by pur
chasing Christmas tuberculosis seals. All
money derived from the sale of the
seals is spent among people suffering
from the disease, and the splendid re
sponse which file seals have received
within the past several years has had
much to do with the successful fight be
ing made against the White Plague. The
public is showing greater interest by buy
ing more seals and this has meant more
money with which to wage the battle.
ENGLAND PAYING.
Great Britain is not waiting for some
unforseeu circumstance that might per
persuade the United States to cancel the
war debts. France and some \of the
other debtor nations are still asking and
hope for a cancellation policy, but Eng
land is showing a determination to pay
her part of the debt by sending cash to
the United States..
Great Britain has just made a sec
ond payment on her war debt. The pay
ment amounted to $92,000,000. of which
.WkOOOjjOOO was semiannual interest
charges and $23,000.000 to reduce the
principal.
The first payment, made last s’- ing.
was on account of interest only. that
'this is actually the first payment on, the
principal. For several months the Brit
ish government has been accumulating
Liberty Bonds with which (o make this
payment and virtually the entire amount
of the installment was paid with such
securities. Being able to purchase the
bonds as slightly less than par it is es
timated that the British government sav
ed $1,800,000 by making the $92,900,000
payment in Liberty Bonds.
England's policy in regard to the war
debts is making many frineds- for her in
the United States. Conditions through
out the country are not all that c6nM be
desired, but despite high taxes, unemploy
ment, dissatisfaction and other things.
England is showing a fine spirit in her
financial dealings with Unde Sam.

We believe William G. MoAdoo could
go to a Democratic convention now and
receive thp nomination without much !
trouble. What will happen in the next .
few months is a different thing, however, >
and by the time the convention, is called j
he may not be as strong as some other j
Democrat. He is in the fight, however, j
and can be expected to wage a real cam
paign. Four years ago he was a “re

that fact may have accounted for his de- j

DINNER STORIES
A farmer was having his house re
covered. The old tin .roof had been
torn off and rolled up la a heap in the
corner of the yard. A friend happened
by one day and suggested that the farm
er ship the tin to the Ford plant. .He
went on to tell the farmer that Ford
would pay him well for the tin. The
fanner thought it over and decided he
would send It to the Ford plant, for even
though he .got. nothing for it the tin
would be out of his way. In .about
three weeks after he shipped it, he re
ceived a letter ,which read something
like this: ' •
“Your old car wos tore up jp bad
we decided to ship you a new me, but
be careful next time.”
*T am not going to talk long this ev
ening,” said the speaker. - f “I've b?en
cured of that. The other night I was
making a speech when a man entered
the hall and took a seat right in the
front row. I had not feeen talking
an hour when I noticed he was becom
ing fidgety. Finally he arose and
asked:
“ 'Shay, how long yon been lec
turin’? »
“ ‘About four years, my friend,’ I re
plied.
“Well,’ lie remarked, as he sat down,
■l'll stick around; you must be near
through’.’’
Seventh Child Named “Enough.* >
The office was crowded with the wed
ding party. All were silent while file
bridegroom filled in the blanks. For
the purpose of this story we’ll call him
Smith,, says the New York Times.’ j
The secretary looked ove'r the jnar
rifegC-license. It gave the groom's name
as “John Enough Smith.”
He said: %
“The clerk at theflicense bureau has
pinde a mistake: see what a ridiculous
middle, .Jiame he has given you—
‘Eno'ugK’.”
Without looking up the groom replied
dryly:
“No wristakp on the part of the clerk.
My mother gave me that middle name
—I was (the seventh child.”
An Innocent Good Time
A colonel who was _ai stern discip
linarian gathered his officers about him
ami issued orders for the regiment's
forthcoming train journey to the coast.
“I don’t object to an innocent good
time on the men’s part during this jour
ney,” he said, “but you will see to it
that there's fio swearing, no sky lark
ing, no card playing, and as little cig
arette smoking as possible.”
“Pardon me, colonel,” said a timid
voice, “but would you object if I tolfk
a little plain sewing my com
pany and myself?”
The speaker waxed eloquent, and
after his peroration on woman's rights
he said: “When they take our girls,
as they threaten, away from the co
educational, what will follow? What
will follow. I repent?”
And a lomf masculine voice in the'
audiepce replied, “I wijl.” •
