resolutions-and then don't keep them.
1t Is not talking that counts-it's Just
doing things. Tige and believe in do
ing things. There is usually something
doing when we are arc ind.
Tige and believe in making as many
people happy as we possibly can.
Sometimes 1t is hard to be kind to peo-

think the best way to make people hap
by Is to keep them laughing. When
people are laughing they cannot be un-
happy. They cannot laugh and think
about their troubles at the same time.
Some people spend New Years wor-
rying because they are q year older
than they were when they were a year
younger. That is what makes wrinkles.

and happy in the midst OF trouble.
Relations are not the most pleasant
people in the world, but even they have
good points, If you can find them.
Grandma has her good points. So has
grandpa. They make lots of fun for
me and Tige-and you. IF you look for
good points In your mother-in-law i'm
stead of looking for trouble, as most
people DO, you will find lots of them.
But If you look for trouble you will
surely get 1t. People usually get what
they are looking for.
Laughing is the only real cure for all
kinds of trouble. If you can laugh your
case is not hopeless. People who can
laugh never commit suicide. Tige and

laughing when we say good by.

M AKING resolutions is very fool

make resolutions. If people al
ways did what they know they ought to
do no one would have to make resolu-
tlons.
Making resolutions gets to be habit
with some people. Tlge and have the
habit. We cannot help making resolu-

help breaking them. We are always
making resolutions. And we always
keep them. We never make any reso-

the right idea about resolutions.

MAY HAVE STATE
PURE FOOD LAW
HEALTH OFFICERS HOLD A
CONFERENCE
VIII Ask Legislature for Statute sml-
lar to the National Law, Which
Goes Into Effect
To-day

There is possibility that Cali
fornia will have pure food law pc"
fore the adjournment of the coming
legislature.
Health officers and physicians Of
Southern California have begun a move
ment looking to the enactment of leg
islatlon which will be in line with the
national law, which will go into ef'
feet today.
This movement was started as a
result of reports that large consign-
ments of impure goods have been re-
ceived in California and especially in
Los Angeles, with view OF taking
advantage of the national law, which
can only reach those manufacturers
who ship such gods from one state tC
another after the law becomes operat-
i've.
conference on n bill which has beor
drawn up to be presented to the legis-
lature next week was held at the city
hall yesterday by Dr. Stanley p. Black
health officer of Pasadena, and DIR. l.
NJ. Powers, health offer Of Los Angeles
LOS Angeles has more trouble from
impurities In canned goods than any
thing else" said DIR. Powers, after the
conference. "and in the interest of the
health of the citizens not only of this
city, but throughout California, an eff
Tort VIII be made to pass law which
will be in line with the national en-
actment and to apply to goods made
and sold In the state or brought here
for sale"
DR.. Black expressed the belief that
there would be no opposition to the
passage of the bill. He said:
"The new law giving the people pure
foods will be popular. The people will
be so well satisfied that they would
not return to the old system of impure
foods. The health of the people will
be better preserved.
Pasadena has been bothered most
by impure meats goods and unclear
milk utensils"
