DIXON TODAY Commissioner of Health Warns Against Making the Second Go Too Rapidly Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com missioner of Health, says that peo-! pie are trying to make the second hand of the clock gro too fast in these days and that they are only harm ing: themselves. Dr. Dixon says that j the average man is work'ng too hard ; and taking too little recreation. Dr. Dixon says: "The season for good resolutions is j approaching. Within a fortnight j thousands of men and women will] have resolved to begin the new year ! with a definite purpose of lopping of ] some bad habit or commencing some j effort at self improvement. "Human happiness so largely de pends upon health that many of these resolutions will center upon condi tions relating to personal welfare. It. is not so difficult in this age of self education to analyze our habits and i discover where our weaknesses lie. Netther it is beyond the majority of us to plan a sensible course which if adhered to would bring about im provement. The task lies in adhering to the plans that we have made. 'Perhaps the most common plea which we make to excuse failure to carry out out good intentions is the want of time. '1 haven't time' has grown to be one of the commonest of phrases. There is no question about it. this is a rapid age we live in. The possibilities for accomplishment are great: what we lack is time. "The man of business knows he needs more physical exercise and ap preciates the fact that he feels the better for it but denies himself be cause he hasn't time. We lack time to eat properly, to think properly, to rest properly. Twenty-four hours seems too short a day l'or many of us and what is the result? 'Continually pleading: the lack of time we rush from one thing to an other and in the end the aggregate of accomplishment is little enough to boast of. "Our clocks seem to be ticking at the rate of one hundred and twenty seconds to the minute but still the hour hand crawls at the same old pace. Unquestionably the majority of us would be happier and healthier if we cultivated repose. Tranquility is becoming a. lost art and as a result disturbing nervous complaints are far more frequent than formerly. "The cultivation of composure need not mean a reduction in our ability to achieve results. It is almost certain to insure us time through application for many things which will make life better worth the living." » Yesterday Was the Birthday Anniversary of— m HHL > SIH Hntt JFC 1 • ' j3Br Mm JM Edwin C.

SAYS SEAL SALE I MAY NET $3,000 I Dr. Phillips Declares Less Than 50,000 Yuletide Stickers Will Be Returned More than 350.000 Red Cross Christmas seals Have been distributed in and around Harrisburg and of that I record-breaking number, less than • 50.000 are likely to be returned un j sold to the Red Cross Seal Headquar ters. according to Dr. C. R. Phillips, I general chairman, to-day. j "From all indications,' declared Dr. j Phillips, "the committee this year will sell at least 300,000 Red Cross Christmas seals. That will be $3,000 worth, S2OO to S4OO more than were sold last year. "The distribution of the seals was so mapped out this year that most of the seals were taken up as they were sent out. This means that com paratively few of them will be unsold. The campaign thus far has been un usually satisfactory. While the merchants, the factories, the secret organizations and the dozen and one other agencies in the city are disposing of the Red Cross seals, the smaller towns in this vi cinity are vleing with each other in the race for honors. Hershey, Steel ton and Middietown. for Instance, are racing neck and neck in a mighty in teresting seal selling contest. In the schools of the county the total sales are piling up, while the local com mittee treasury was boosted to the extent of many dollars by the pretty girls of the Majestic who sold seals in the audience during a musical vaudeville act last week. Then too the milkmen are going to help. Every milk bottle that is de livered Christmas morning in the city will bear a Red Cross Christmas seal.
