of any kind without rinsing off
with cooler water. If you battle in
the bath tub, after a hot bath let
the water run cooler until the
tub is nearly full.
After you have taken your bath
proceed to wash out your mind.
Look in the glass. Are those
grief muscles" las Darwin calls
the muscles at the corners of the
mouth) sagging? These muscles
might as well be called worry
muscles" as they are rarely caus-
ed by physical pain and they are
always the tell-tales of mental
distress.
If you find these muscles sag
ging, SMILE!! The mere physi-
cal act of smiling, even IL 1t is
purely purely perfunctory, will
help to clear your mind of its
worry. You will then find that q
part of that sagging muscle is
smoothed out. Now throw up
your window and take three long
breaths, clear from the bottom OF
your diaphragm. Out will smooth
another little bit of the worry
muscle"
II wish I could impress 1t upon
all my unknown friends that IL
they keep their minds free of I'M
kind or ugly thoughts and their
bodies perfectly clean their lungs
full of pure air and only take
simple food into their stomacns
they will not need to use any art
fetal aids to beauty.
JUST ONE LAST WORD
"A slovenIy woman is apt TO
have her mind filed with
rubbish, even as her body is
physically neglected.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-12-31

cleanliness Is next to God
Illness, get near to God by
being clean.
All you have to do this time of
year to realize how many people
belong to 1.-THE great unwashed"
is to go into one of the tightly
shut, badly ventilated street cars.
Many intelligent people would
have us think that our minds
dominate everything about us.
But it has also been demonstrated
that the body has a great influ-
ence over the mind.
Perfect cleanliness of body Is
absolutely necessary to the wom-
an who would have her brain
capable of doing its highest and
best work.
Water and air are necessities In
which no one should economic.
Fresh air is quite as necessary to
perfect cleanliness as pure water.
Don't neglect your daily bath,
because it is growing colder. II
it Is not convenient for you to
use the bathtub every morning a
quick sponge with water as hot
as you can bear it, rlnsing off
with a wash cloth wet in cooler
water i'll keep you clean.
Never have any soap on your
skin and never take a hot bath

I'm glad I'm young and fond of youthful laughter
Finding much Joy in all this wonderous earth,
Ny heart house-filed up from floor rafter
With love of life and light and gentle mirth--
i m glad I'm young with eyes that still twinkle,
With ears that pleasure when the songs sung
And lips that still recall the way crnkle
At jest and whimsy-ah, I'm glad I'm young!
I'm glad I'm young, although my hair has whitered
And am near my three-score years and ten;
Youth In my heart has kept my spirits lghtened,
The ways of youth are still within my KEN
And If cannot dance watch and listen,
Thinking of memories to which I've chung;
Ny blood still leaps my eyes still aglisten,
And though I'm DID, I'm glad that / young!

BETTER COUGH SYRUP
THAN YOU CAN BUY
A Family Supply, Saving So
and Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup as
much as you could buy for $3.50
can easily be made at home. You

Excellent too, for Group, whooping
cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarse-
ness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar
with u pint of warm water, and
stir for 2 minutes. Put 2h ounces
of Pinex (fifty cents WORTHY in a
pint bottle, then add the Sugar
Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly. Take a
teaspoonful every one, two or three
hours.
This is Just laxative enough -
help cure a cough. Also stimulates
the appetite, which is usually upset
by cough. The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup
on the inflamed membranes is well
known. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound OF Norway
white pine extract, rich in gualacol
and ali the natural healing pine ele-
ments. Other preparations Will not
work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe
Is now used by thousands OF house
wives throughout the United States
and Canada. The plan has been i'm
itated, but the old successful formu-
la has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satis1ac-
ton. or money promptly refunded,
goes with this recipe. Your drug
gist has Pinex, or Will get Ii Tor
YOU If not, send to The Pinex Co.

A.-You may, or may not,
have taken your wife back from
a noble impulse; however. she is
back, and you want help to pro-
duce harmony in your home. Here
it is:
Fill your heart with a univer-
sal love for men, women and
children, remembering that the
only real father is the great Crea-
tive Father of the Universe.
1t is my firm belief that every
one should be responsible for his
own offspring; and until this is
brought about, men and women
will continue to bring happen so'
children into the world, as a re-
suit of their own selfishness.
The thing that is hurting you
is the fact that you think the
child is not your own; but real
father love is to love all children
and real husband love is to love
all women in helpful way. If
you can do this harmony will
reign, and love will come back to
you an hundred fold. You have
grand work to do.

TAKE 1T FROM ME.

Concerning the Head of the
House" discussion 1t is my con-
tention that it should be the re-
heads.
Matrimony should be a mutual
cooperative alliance for the good
of the institution and the parties
most concerned. Husband and
wife should be business partners,
chums, pals, and lovers. They
should poll their abilities and fac
ulties with view of obtaining a
harmonious whole and each
should forget self in their efforts
to guard the weak spots and pre-
sent an invulnerable front to the
many problems that will beset
them. A STUDENT.

The person who argues that a
woman is superior to man and
should be the head of the family
is undoubtedly a woman, as usual
without the power to think deep
ly and reason earnestly.
Some women are superior to
some men in some things. Some
men are superior to some women
in some things; but listen. if all
the men in creation were formed
into one large man, and all the
women in creation were formed
into one large woman, that large
man would be superior to that
large woman in every respect,
and If they were married and had
a family, the man would be boss,
you bet.

ATTEMPT TO KILL ITALYs KING
Memorial Services For the Late
King Humbert, Who Was
Assasslnated.

Rome.-A dastardly attempt to as
sassinase King Victor Emmanuel of
Italy was made BY an anarchist in
Rome. The would-be regicide chose
for his attempt the anniversary Of the
birthday of the late King Humbert, the
father OF the present King, who died
the victim of an assassins blow at
Menza on July 20, 1900. King Victor
Emmanuel was fortunate enough to
escape the shots fired at him from a
revolver. They were several in num-
Der and were aimed from a very short
distance. The commander Of his
military bodyguard, however, who was
in the immediate vicinity Of the King.
was dangerously wounded.
The King, in company with Queen
Helena, was going from the palace to
the Pantheon, to take part in the an
nual memorial service in honor Of the
late King Humbert The royal car
rags was preceded and followed by
an escort OF Cuirassiers.
At the police station the anarchist
was subjected to keen interrogatory.
He said that his name was Antonio
Dalba, that he was 81 years of age and
that he was stone mason. He de-
scribed himself as an ''individualist
anarchist" and said that he had made
the attempt ON the Kings life as q
protest against the organization of
society.

At LEAST g DEAD
Many Of the Remains a Tangled
Mass OF Fragments.
BUT TWENTY ARE IDENTIFIED
Accident Happened At San Antonio,
Texas-Portion OF Locomotive
Crashed Into House and
Hurt ! Woman.

San Antonio, Tex.-At least 80 men
were killed and parts of their bodies
strewn for blocks around when big
passenger engine in the Southern Pa
cific shops blew up here Monday
morning. The engine stood in
aQuare formed by the copper-house,
blacksmith shop and roundhouse, All
Of which were wrecked. A portion OF
the locomotive crashed into house
several blocks away and seriously
hurt a woman.
Twenty Of the bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
IL more Is little more than a tangled
mass of fragments Of human flesh and
bones. that probably never will be
separated into the dozen humans it
represents. These fragments were
found jammed into crevices about the
buildings wrecked, in the street and
entangled in machinery Of the shops.
Except where indicated the former
residences OF those killed are not
known.
The shops to great extent have
been manned for several weeks by
strikebreakers imported when shop
men OF the Hartman lines went out.
1t is believed most of the killed are
from the North and East
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness OF some one
OF the men killed in allowing cold
water into the hot boiler OF the loco
motive The engine was No. 704,s and
was practically new. 1t was in the
shops for inspection. 1t was Of the
large mogul type.
Besides the. 80 believed to have
been killed, so persons were injured.
These for the most part were in re-
mote sections Of the buildings wreck
ed, for those close to the engine or In
the main parts OF the buildings either
were killed outright by the explosion
or crushed by falling material when
the buildings crumbled. The monetary
loss will be about 100000. Freaks Of
the terrific impact we're many, but
one of the most strange is that the
driving wheels of the engine were not
disturbed While parts of the huge
locomotive were driven blocks, the
large wheels apparently did not
bulge.

declared John p. White. president Of
the United Mine Workers Of America.
at the adjournment Of the meeting
between the miners and operators, in
which the miners declined the opera
tors counter proposition.
Il look for 4 general suspension Of
work on April l." he added.
What They, Demand.
Reiterating demands for recogni-
ton Of the union. an Increase Of 20
per cent. In wages. q shorter working
day and other changes. the Mine
Workers replied to the counter-prop-
osition offered them by the anthra-
cite coal operators.
The operators proposition is de-
clined.
The meeting between the miners
and the operators was brief. Mr..
White read to the operators the min
ers' reply to their rejection Of the
miners demands. It was received
without comment, and the meeting
adjourned without delay.
None of the operators was willing
to talk.
Reply OF Miners.
1--WE regret the positive position
you have taken" the miners reply
reads, sas we had hoped that as the
Representatives of the anthracite coal
operators you would consider the
great change in conditions existing
now as compared with those of 1902,
upon which the Coal Strike Commits
sion gave its award; and would, there
fore recognize the reasonableness OF
the demands of the anthracite mine
workers and make such concessions
as Industrial and market conditions
and conditions of living unquestion-
ably now warrant.
Your proposal to renew the pres
emit agreement does not appeal to US.
nor will it appeal to the people we
represent. The award OF the Coal
Strike Commission was not intended
to continue in effect for all time
thereafter. regardless of how ma
terially industrial and other condi-
tions might change, and does not
adequately meet changed conditions
now in effect"
The reply says in conclusion:
Now. firmly believing that as pub
hc-spirited citizens we have done more
than our full duty during all these
years when anthracite operators en-
joyed unprecedented prosperity we
feel that the responsibility which
might follow failure to reach a salts
factory settlement oflthe questions at
issue, when weighed by discriniinat-
n ing public. cannot be placed upon the
anthracite mine-workers or their rep
resentatives."
