Every father who has a son is quite
naturally wrapped UP in the youngster;
first. because he loves the boy: second.
because he sees in the child a reflection
of what he used to be.
The father has all manner OF plans for
his offspring-an education. health, fame,
everything worth while. He Is different
from other boys. His promise is brighter.
For seven thousand years that the
world knows about land maybe a few
million years before that human beings
have grown up through the same grada-
tions. There has been very little difier-
ence in the processes. in the ideas, in the
ambitions.
Twenty or thirty years hence that boy
is quite apt to have the same manner of
thought that the father possesses. The
building goes on day by day-non,ent at
a time It isn't any one big thing the boy
does that counts; it is the multiplication
of little things.
Some day that lad is going oreach a
point of physical laziness. He may be
moral giant, or a Hercules in thought,
but he is destined to pass into that Pc
Rod Of physical inertia that long since
gripped his dad-unless he forms the habit
Of activity.
The boy who exercises regularly and
who carries his exercise into manhood
will not only find it easy. but natural ana
essential He will feel good all the time
and demand given amount OF physical
activity.
Just how much rests in the fathers
hands depends on him. Most fathers are
SO fearful lest their sons tend toward
pugilists they prefer TO not prompt their
boys toward things physical.

GALVESTON. Tex. August 3.-There
is not the slightest doubt that new

TIMELY ICE BOX MAxIMS
Some Things Worth Remembering
When Putting Food Away In
the Refrigerator.

All cooked food should be cooled as
soon as possible before being placed
In the ice box. Butter may be kept
from taking up the flavors OF other
food by keeping it In tightly Gov
cred receptacle.
Milk requires more access OF air,
but In a clean ice box in which no
strong smelling food is kept milk
should remain uninjured in flavor for
twelve to twenty-four hours. II vege-
tables or other foods of pronounced
odor are kept in glass jars with covers
or in covered eartherware receptacles
there will be fewer odors to be COM
municated
Portions Of canned goods should
never be put into the ice box in the
tin can. Such food does not Of neces-
sity develop a poisonous product, as
has sometimes been claimed, but ex-
periments show that ptomaines are
particularly liable to develop in such
cases.
