No, I am not attempting to press agent the book.

"One Way OUT Is the story of a man who is typicany of the
modest salaried middle class, with a standard of living just above its
means.
At the age of thirtyeight this man, with very little laid by and. a
wife and boy of eleven dependent upon him, loses his position. He has
only a highly specialized knowledge almost useless outside of the office
where he has been employed for many years, and when he starts his
hunt for employment he is unanimously turned down by employers, who
all want younger. men or men With some more specific training
After some horrible weeks of this humiHaing and hopeless hunting
he happens to find out by accident that Murphy, the Ia who empties his
ashes, is building houses and putting his sons through college lie looks
about him and realizes that not only Murphy but other immigrants ar
making good to an astonishing degree and he suddenly thinks he sees

Points
For
II:
Plenty of Sleep.

From the age of FIVE to sever
twelve hours of sleep are necessary,
and until nine years Of age there
should be eleven hours, which length
of time should be continued until the
age of fourteen, when the sleep may
be reduced to ten hours. Children Of
q nervous, sensitive disposition might
be allowed an even longer time, as
should children of all ages when body
growth seems specially rapid. Even
the time of yea makes a difference
to the amount of sleep required, and
all children should be allowed to sleep
longer during winter than during the
summer.
Children who suffer from great
drowsiness need medical attention.
Slight drowsiness demands attention
to the state of the bowels, which may
be constipated. Great w~akefulness is
likewise a serious matter and may be
the beginning Of brain trouble,
With regard to the bed, 1t Is worth
while to make an effort for each child
to sleep alone. and on no account
shohld a young child be allowed to
sleep with a very old person.

SY Hook or BY Crook.

If we have determined on the accom-
plishment of a certain object and care
not how We obtain it, we say We will
have it by hook or by crook,
This expression dates back to the old
English days and refers to the old for
est laws, which gave permission to
poor people to gather wood on condi-
ton that they neither cut nor sawed
the timber. Those branches which
they could break or such sticks as
could be carried away were theirs, but
this was all they were entitled TO.
To pull down dead branches or re-
move sticks from the underbrush GER
tain hooks and crooked poles We're
brought into use. These in time came
to be called hooks and crooks.
BY their use the peasants managed to
procure all the wood needed; hence the
expression by hook or by crook"

a ChjId's Diet.

The famous French dletician, eau
tier, is on record as saying that after
the first three years of a child's life
the addition Of muscular tissue may
and ought to be given to him in a very
moderate quantity.
Roast mutton or lamb, beef, minced
ham, eggs in all styles, creams and
rice, yermicelli in soup, butter, thor
oughly cooked fruits. stewed potatoes,
green vegetables and cocoa-all OF these
are suitable.
He states that the exclusive use Of
milk tends to make fat, Emphatic,
puffy children, capable of standing lit
tie. This is further accumulated by
the abuse of sweetened dishes. 1t is
also necessary at this age to avoid Civ
ing foods which are highly seasoned
and too much sailed. Fat fish cher
ring and salmon, dry fish (salted or
smoked, mushrooms, crustacea or vine
gars and spices, dry, raw, unrlpe or too
acid fruits are unsuitable. Fermented
cheese, alcoholic liquors of all descrip-
lions and coffee and tea should not
be allowed.

Making Home Pleasant.

The young cannot bear restraint.
Remember that the evening is an off
time, and do not provoke your chill
-dren. Let them know that they are
free to do what they like-within GER
tain ~limits-and home will be as good
as q club. If possible, set apart a
room for the boys where they may be
alone if they want to and where they
can pursue any hobby which pleases
them. If they are sitting with you
do not exercise your mind to find jobs
for them. Some people like to loaf.
1t is their way Of restoring energy,
DO not interfere with their amuse-
ments unless absolutely bad. Better
they should pursue them in your home
than out of it.

Erqaaement Etiquetts.

The etiquette to be observed by q
man as soon as he is engaged to be
married is as strictly defined as it is
for the girl, though the former is not
as often understood.
Immediately the engagement exists
and before it is announced the man
should notify his nearest relatives.
If either his father or mother 10 liv-
ing he should so to them rather than
write that they may know his plans.
Another reason for an immediate visit
from him is that they should be able
to receive their sons future wife in
the way that will be happiest for them
all, and this they can better accom-
plish if they make plans with the son.
1t is expected that some member of
a mans family will give a party for
hrs fanoee TO introduce her to the
family's friends. If for any reason
this function is delayed during the en-
gagement it should be given as soon
after the marriage as is convenient
AS the world accepts q bride much
at the valuation of his family, it is the
duty of a fance to make very certain
hat his beloved receives every posi-
BILE mark of respect.

Tho MotIycoddted Baby.

A truly beautiful baby looks beau
tiful under any circumstances-either
in winters cold or summers heat.
Rigorssof climate improve it. 1t IS not
like the coddled child, which has its
special day.
Scientific rearing includes, among
other paraphernalia, the feeding bot
tie with its measured ounces Of spe-
cial foods. Bottle feeding spoils the.
looks of q baby.
Several leading authorities have
agreed that sucking the india rubber
mouthpieee or comforter disorgan-
ICES the muscles of the face. 1t de-
velops some of them abnormally and
is also liable to change the shape Of
the lips and the angle Of the jaw.
The mechanical life of the scien-
~tifically reared baby is unnatural, and
when dealing with babies it is safe
to assert that anything unnatural is
wrong. Mechanical action of organs
that are strengthened and improved
by constant changes cannot possibly
make for beauty.

some fine lace being added at neck and
sleeve edge as Il finish.
Fichus are worn with many of these
simple tub blouses, and sometimes
fichu and blouse are trimmed alike, a
very pretty notion.
The Magyar type, with its seamless
shoulder and sleeve and its loose fall

style.
In direct contrast to the tub blouses
there are smart little blouses of heavy
Irish crochet or the fashionable and
expensive venise, which mold the
lines of the figure without showing
f~ullness anywhere. These lace blouses
are mounted cover chiffon cloth, some
times in white. sometimes in delicate
color tints, and Il rather daring notion
is to wear the lacy blouse over flesh
colored chiffon. These lace blouses are

of fullness the lines must be easy and

sonably from the peasants who go
aboard the ocean liners at Queenstown
and peddle laces to home going Ameri-
can travellers. In the blouse shops in
America, of course, they cost substan-
tally more, but such a blouse will pay
for itself over and over and may even
tually become a valuable heirloom, for
Irish lace practically never "a cut.

Iniuricus Exercise.

The way babies are jumped about
and made to show off" is a sad sight
to the mother who has studied the art
Of physical culture. Every time that
n baby is made to exercise its brain
it is parting with a portion of energy
which it will need in after life, Even
the frolic of daddy should be given
with caution and in small doses. II a
child is taught to lie quietly in its
cradle you will be surprised to find
how long it will amuse itself looking
at one toy or just looking about. Some
people cannot take a child in their
arms without dancing it in the air or
indulging in the idiotic practice Of ac-
tually tossing 1t.

to use this power as a means of OBJ

The VICTORY or Wells OVER A7TELL

According to the cable, Matt Wells
won the decision in the ten-round go
which took place in New York last
night with Abe Attell.
1t was Attelps first appearance in
the ring for many moons, he having
been on the shelf for long time
nursing a broken arm or shoulder.
In last nights bout Wells was al.
lowed to weigh 1876 pounds at o'clock,
while the little Hebrew would hardly
have scaled more than 1875 pounds.
In view of the excellent form that
the English lightweight champion has
been showing in the states, Attell was
certainly the biggest kind of a chance
in giving such a pile of weight to an
undeniably good man. Probably he
needed the money, also, he may have
underestimated Wells.

arranged fake.
The record has long been question

made. Recently the officials of the

Smithson gives particulars of the al
legged "frame-up' and names Jack
King of Portland, Ed Murphy, the not
ed Stanford athlete, and dad" Urine,
an old-time trainer of athletes, now
dead, as bling informed of the alleged
fake. Smithson declares that King
advised him of the frame-up several
days before the race. King was one
of the first to bring the attention of
the American Athletic Union officials
to the questionable time credited to

Smithson states as his reason for
again presenting the details to Secre-

THE CRICKET
CHAMPIONSHIPS

Local Britishers will be interested to
hear that Warwickshire looks to have
very good chance of being the cham
pion country, as far as cricket is con-
cerned, this year
On August 26 Surrey had just de-
feated Kent at the Oval by nine
runs. Hush, the Kent wicket
keeper, accomplished a great perform
ance by having a hand in the dismissal
of ten batsmen in the two Surrey in
nings.
The defeat of Kent had the effect of
placing Warwickshire at the head of
the county championship table, a po-
sition from which it would have been
difficult for Kent to dislodge them,
Their only remaining fixture was
with Northants, and if they won that
match outright the championship was
theirs, and even drawn game, pro,
vided they gained a lead on the first
innings, would have sufiiced to keep
them on top unless Kent came sue
cessfully through both their remain
ing fixtures. These were against
