oerT says;
Slight those who say amidst their sickly
healths,
Thou ls'st by rule" What doth not 50 but
man?
Houses are built by rule, and commonwealths.
Entce the trusty sun, If that You can,
From his ecliptie line; beckon the sky.
who lives by rule then keeps good company
Without being c~astiron in ones habits,
it is possible, and it is the only safe and
prudent way, to "hve by rule" That
means rise, breakfast, dine, sup and re-
tire at as nearly the same hours every
day as you can. Cleanse your body both
inside and out with regularity. Clothe
yourself uniformly at the same season.
1t is risky in the extreme to go out in
furs in the morning and then to drive to
an entertainment in the evening with a
light opera cloak thrown over bare neck
and shoulders.
The simplest form of living is in the
open air. Get all the fresh air, there
fore, that you can. Go out to walk in it
every day. Ventilate every room in
your house every morning. Never sleep.
unless except in the most bitter weather,
without an abundance Of fresh air in
your chamber. Wear flannel night
gowns, night caps and mufiers if neces-
sary, and, while using "comfortables" no
more than you are compelled to, do not
be afraid to employ plenty of blankets
and down quilts. Do not sleep in a
draught, unless heroically protected, and
do allow heat to radiate from your fur
mace throughout the house if you want
it: but insist upon having in abundance
also, that rarest boon of the modern
dwelling house, fresh air.
Let your clothing be plain, warm, light
and loose. There is no foe to simple liv-
ing like the clothes fend. 1t introduces
all sorts Of CHASTITY complications into
our modern life. Dress for the weather
without regard to the calendar. Refuse
to carry, at the behest Of a fashionable
dressmaker, several pounds more of lin
ings and draperies and jet trimming than
you need to. Give every organ Of your
body room to do its simple duty. \ re-
stricted circulation, and vital organs
misplaced and tightly pressed by the
vicious system of dress now in vogue are
al the bottom of two-thirds of the horri
bic, nameless diseases Of women.
The praise of simplicity is in all mems
mouths, but, as with many another viz
tue, its praise and its practice are two
very different things. Many have fallen
into inconsistency in this regard from
ignorance; yet even for those who IN
derstand it-that first step i'll nature
and last in art"-its pursuit, under the
u~nfavorable conditions Of modern life,
is sufficiently difficult. In ''simple liy-
ing" however, lie the germs Of true and
and abiding happiness.

Rabbi Wise celebrated his seventy
second year by issuing a book called
"Pronaus," an introduction to the study
Of the Scriptures from an Israelite stand
point. but all who have examined it say
it will prove of value to inquirers Of
every faith or no faith. Isaac Mayer
Wise was born in Bohemia April 8, 1919,
graduated from the university of Wen
ma in 1843, and was at once appointed
rabbi at Rodnitz, Bohemia. In 1916 he
came to America, locating in New York,
and in 1854 was called to Cincinnati,
where he has ever since remained. AS
editor of The Israelite and head of the
Plum Street Temple congregation he
has attained a national reputation, and
has written several instructive works on
Judaism. His seyenty-second birthday
was recently the occasion Of a general
festival by the Jews of Cincinnati.

of Lolita.

Little Lolita Crabtree is an excellent ex-
ample of the results of early training.
Away in the ffties Lottie was a skinny
little thing with freckles and hair redder
than it is now, and she was taken all
around the state of California by her
mother and a small company, and was
obliged to dance, sing and act much
against her will, and as regularly as the
time for rehearsal came around she would
have a mad fit and throw her spidery
little body on the floor and scream and
kick and pound with all her might. In
n or two places it was thought that her
parents were i'll treating her, perhaps
pulling herjoints tomake them limber,"
and folks were going to do something
about it, and that something" would
have been very unpleasant for her
parents, but when the delegation went
into the room Lolita soon convinced
them that they had better depart. Lot
ia never had any girlhood. She stepped
with one movement over the gulf that
separates child from woman, and at
twelve years old was older than any
woman at twenty-five, and then she stood
still for many years, and now is going
back to pick UP the years of girlhood
that the exactions of her life defrauded
her of. But it is hard to gather up lost
years again and have them as good as
new.
