TUESDAY EVENING,
TAKE TIME SAYS
DR. 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."

piled by the State Department of

cereal crops of the Keystone State.
The total value of the five crops
was $95,000,000, almost $96,000,000,
in fact, and the total acreage was M,-
477.000.

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.
