You are fashioned by your ideals.
And what is an ideal?
An ideal is a mental picture OF what
you desire to be. OF what you admire

Now. IL is n law OF our life that we
are changed. transformed into the like
ness OF that which we love or admire.
So. you see. It matters tremendously
what your ideal may be.
Who Is your ideal?
1 say who" because a girls ideal Is
apt TO be that OF a person. She sees
some woman she admires. She wants
TO be like that person. And because
OF that desire she unconsciously imi-
tates the person and is changed more
or less into the likeness OF that person
Who is your ideal. my girl:
Is she some gracious woman OF re-
fined manners and correct speech
Does the lovely woman you admire so
much bear herself with the quiet dig.

charm OF her personality proceed from
her true traits or character?
If so, happy you.

such ideal woman or you are content
to follow some lower vision.
Maybe your ideal Is that OF a well
dressed woman who Is little more

and who. mere than all else, is wom-

manners.
IL your dream woman Is less than
that you should change your ideal
Make the vision OF your true lady
one whose quiet ways. gentle tact and
personal kindness proceed from a
high regard for others. some noble
woman whose generous. self denying
disposition causes you to admire her
by day and dream OF her by night.
And So

One day In his travels through the

OF women dressed In strange attire.
They were drawing plow and chant

The girl looked at him shyly, and he
thought her face the most winsome be

The incident passed from his mind.
Then one day IN a little camp cabin
far away the face OF the girl flashed
on his memory. He could not forget

her. After long search he succeeded
The young nublenan discovered that
this girl. Olga vorinhoff. unaffected
and simple. was surprisingly sweet and
woman.y. He could not rid himself
OF her charm.
And one day. after weeks of self ex-

little woman into his arms and kissed
her.

Why We Ya~n and s.rs.oh.

During sleep the respiration is shall
low, and the expansion OF the lungs
is insufficient for active movement Ii
is necessary. therefore, to fully expand
the lungs on waking before or as soon
as active movements commence. This
Is effected by yawn. which Is q deep
inspiration assisted by the wide open

inspiration is often assisted by raiskig
the arms above the head and by throw
ing forward the chest and thus yawn-
ing and stretching are only parts Of
one respiratory effort.
Stretching also aids the return OF
the blood to the muscles. During sleep
the circulation is feebler. and the skin
seems to be supplied with blood at
the expense OF the muscles. and on
waking the limbs are stretched to IN

HOW To KEEP YOUNG

The way to keep young is to keer
young ia spirit.
That is to say
II you want to renew your spirit YOU
should cultivate the things that make
for youth--new faces, new ideas, new
memories, new hopes. new enthusi-
asms.
III, Tor Instance, you cultivate only
the old memories, brooding over them
In the chimney corner, excluding the
memories of yesterday and last week.
your mind will form the trick of fol-
lowing the old channels. and you Will
come to live on the old memories ex-
clusively. That means decay Of mind
and dissolution.
Or
IL you withdraw yourself from the
new faces, shrink from sociability
and. like rat in his hole, Issue forth
only when you must, you Will soon
become back number. Let this
world alone for ever SO abort a time
and It will let you alone for good and
all.
Or
If you are inhospitable to new ideas

forced the rule that a female teache
must quit the schools when she gets

Saplent school board!
The rule is an unjust and unresson.
able discrimination against women.
About the only pertinent excuse that
Is made for such a rule Is this: When
a woman teacher marrIes she then
has husband to support her. and she
ought 10 give up her position to the
unmarried teacher. who has to make
her living.
In other words. we should make the

cessfully? is the only question that
should be asked.
Is married woman less efficient be-
cause OF her marriage?
In every other occupati ton q woman
Is permitted to marry and continue IN
cient service. Why should the mar
riage barrier be raised against the
teacher?
young woman spends money and
years OF study In preparation for her
work. all Of which goes for naught II
! she happens to fall In love. like any
other woman. and marry.
Why not make the man quit teaching
when he marries2
Why deprive the state Of the vaiu-
able services Of man or woman by
such an absurd objection?
Marriage does not unit a teacher.
1t improves her. The real teacher. the
born instructress. she who does her
school work with love and enthusiasm,
usually desires to continue In her place
Tor awhile. at least. after marriage.
The silly rule excludes her.
The writer knows an ideal teacher
who is married and Is a mother. And
no one better knows the way to the
heart OF a child than does this gra-
cious. capable woman. There would
be public riot In her community
should any school board presume to
discharge her.
Is IL not humiliating that such q
teacher should sometimes be compelled
to keep her marriage a secret In order
to hold her position7 Instances are
known.
The discrimination is purely one OF
sex and born of narrow prejudice.
One Is amazed that such a ruling
should be made by any intelligent
board Of education In this the TWEEN
tieth century.
Why doom female teachers to celib-
acy?
Why deprive the state of its best
teachers?

Mother Is queen OF the May
In many places. especially In the

To be a national ~ ent. was observed
for the first time.
In some of the cities churches were
given over TO the celebration OF the
day. Reverential tributes In the way
OF sermons. addresses and exercises
were given 70 the mothers OF America
The emblematic flower OF the day
is the white carnation.
Which is significant
Because the carnation was first cul-
tivated as flower 1000 years ago. the
very period when the emancipation OF
woman was / sun.
1t Is fitting . one day should be
given In honor Ca American mother

lean, down through the days OF the
pilgrim mothers and the mothers of
the Revolution TO the days OF our own
mothers, courage and purity and faith

However,
Reference Is not here made to those
American women who detract from
the dignity OF womanhood by prefer

mothers OF American youth.
All hail to motherhood,
The Saviour of the world IN the
crucial hour OF his agony on the cross
turned from his sufferings and the mo-
mentouS issues of his great life mis-
sion to say to John, "Son. behold thy
mother" On that fateful day on Cal
vary was motherhood forever blessed.
And Christian civilization does not
forget
Because civilization is beginning to
see and know that pure and strong
mothers are fundamental to all the
hopes for the advancement OF the race.
And yet
How ungracious and stupid are W..
today I'm our maltreatment and neglect
or mothers. Oftentimes more atten-
ton is given to the care OF brute moth
ers for breeding purposes than to
human mothers during their child bear

Is II not so?
We must change from such stupid
ity into appreciation OF motherhood.
not only for the sake OF the mother
but for the child and the race.
The time is coming when the Syom-

rich or poor. shall be honored above
other women and cared for above all
