need of bringing about better conditions.
Those conditions cannot be improved by irresponsible hOwngs
but must be changed by careful constructive work reaching in
to the homes and improving conditions there
The extension of industrial education putting serious
purpose into the lives of children cutting out deness and
get-rich-quck propositions, will help.
closer bond between the school and the home development
of the neghborhood center and upt work will help change
things.

PROPER METHOD
TO PURSUE FOR BEAUTY

The Yellow Jacket has the fol-
lowing regardii g ''beauty makers.
A lady correspondent wants to
know if we can recommend tn her
a good beautifier. Cert. If she
wants tn be beautiful let her buy a
quart of ,nolsass and pint of coal
dust and soak her head in a meal
bag twelve times a day. If she
wants to remove warts from her
lily-white face the best way is to
get hydraulic press and moving
machine and put the warts under
ten ton pressure and squeeze 'em
off. If she feels like she would
like to remove freckles the best
way is to paint and give her face
a couple of coats and then Varnish
it. This will hide the freckles. If
she has a wild hair or two growing
on her face she can get a scythe
and have her husband NOW 'em off.
If she hasn't husband she can
get one if she will study how to be
kind and cheerful. That's our re-
ccipe. We give it right along with
this paper and don't charge thing
for it,
But we would advise all women
to forget that good Looks are ne
cessary to be good. If God AL
mighty happened to form you little
different than som Stunning
beauty you have seen, don't forget
that heauty is as beauty does. If
a woman is crosseyed she can
still be beautiful-beautiful in her
manners, and she can make dark
room bright and happy. The real
professional beauty generally has a
temper like the devil and the man.
ners of wildcat. Let beauty
books alone and study how best to
make home happy or makes friends
by doing unto them as you would
have them do unto you.

Cruel Monarch.

At the annual prize-giving at Wood

Mr.. Ian Malcolm, M. p. addressed
the girls. and Mrs. Malcolm gave away
the prizes. Mr.. Malcolm told the girls
that they must be thorough: in all that
they did. work with, understanding.

they would end by being superficial.
To illustrate this, he told the story OF
a little girl who informed her mother
she had been learning about King
John. Her mother inquired what she
had learned, and was told that he was
a very cruel man. who rode all over
the country in motor cars and ran
over people! Her mother was amazed,
and inquired what she meant, to
which the girl replied: well. mother.

Worlds Oldest Investment.

The oldest investment security on
earth Is the real estate mortgage. We
know that money was loaned on mort

OF King Hamurabi, four thousand
years ago. and that some two thou.

Babylonian banking house OF the
Egibi family invested large sums in
mortgages on both city and farm prop
erty, the mortgages being recorded on
bricks, which have been preserved in
the safety deposit vaults OF those
times-great earthenware Jars buried
In the earth-preserved, until the
psychologists, in our own day, and
age, dug them up to show us when.
where and how mortgages originated

Look long and deep enough into per
Donality, and II you have in your tenn
psrament something Of the whimsical
ity Of Charles Dickens. you will dis
cover In every man and woman that
you meet fragment OF that humor or
that pathos. that righteousness or
that heroism. that absurdity or that
genial benovolenoe, which make UP
the immense and beautiful mosaic OF
the Dickens temple I confess that
have found It many times difficult to
preserve grave aspect In the society
OF the great and learned, that often I
have longed to cry out TO these
mighty ones. "Roguoi" "Humbug!"
"StuR and nonsensei" While again
and again. In listening TO the tales OF
the poor and humble. I have maintain.
cd a natural behavior only between
the two balancing inclinations OF
laughter and tears. Statesmen. say.
ants. ecclesiastics, men, Of letters, mil.
lionaires, clerks. shopmen, mechanics,
and laborers--among ali Of them
have met the originals OF Dickens. -
