A young gentleman who lives some
where west nf Euclid village and Il bi'
east Of the square has always EecN
noted for his good breeding, and
though as college student he has
sometimes been a trife worse for late
hours he has never forgotten his code
A few weeks ago he made a deter
mined effort to enter a dwelling which
he firmly believed to be his own. H.
was met at the door by an angry man
in pajamas. who told him that he had
made grievous mistake and. further
more. requested him not to make Sc
much noise. because his 'the house
holder's) wife was very III. Our friens
made abject and ample apologies and
departed. His own home eluded him
again. however. and in few minutes
he was knocking at the same door
The worried man in pajamas again
descended.
II told you before that this is m,

told you that my wife is ILL., What
do you mean by coming back here?'

Stretching Exercise.


II imparts elasticity.
And it Is good for one.
1t will lift the vital organs.
1t gives strength and poise to the
body.
The clothing must be loose and COM
Portable.
To begin any exercise one must stand
erect
The chest should be high. the head
up and the chin in.
The body should rest on the balls of
the feet. not on the heels.
At first 1t may be enough to breathe
deeply and slowly mouth closed while
standing. ..
This alone is fine thing If practiced
In the open air or before window
open top and bottom for Eve or ten
minutes twice day.
Now for the stretching. Sweep the
arms slowly outward and upward un-
til they touch above the head. lifting
the chest walls and stretching the
arms
Lower the arms with the same
sweep. stretching them all the time.

his coming here Judge Nuchols was

man, reared in the atmosphere Of the

applaud the work that he is doing.
He gave up large law practice to

preciate his sacrifice.
Judge Nuchols was from earliest
manhood deeply interested In the mill
tary life Of his native state, and that
interest attended his life in North Da-
kota. His proficiency was such, and
his character so commended that he
was made judge advocate general Of
the state militia with the rank Of COL

charged in a way that would have
brought pride to his old comrades In

Tho Word "Picnio,"

Few people know the original mean
ing of the word picnic" It Is to be
found set out in the London Times OF
a hundred years ago: "A picnic sup.
per consists Of variety of dishes.
The subscribers to this entertainment
have bill of fare presented to them,
with number against each dish. The
lot which he draws obliges him to fur
nish the dish marked against it. which
he either takes with him in his car
rage or sends by servant. The
proper variety is preserved by the tai
ents of the maitre' fhotel. who forms
the bill of fare. As the cookery Il
furnished by so many people of fash
ion. each strives to excel. and thus q
picnic supper not only gives rise TO
much pleasant mirth, but generally can
boast of the refinement of the art"

Mllady's
Mirror
The Beauty Diet.

In London household there has
been adopted diet which is making
beauties of the whole family. Meal
time, instead of being a trial to the
mind and to the body, is now time
Of rest
Once upon time this family went
through nerve destroying ordeal at
each meal. Tue servants worked for
hours upon the dinner; the wife plan
ned it the day before; the head of the
household viewed it with more or less
approval. And at the end of the
month there was good bill to pay.
Now it is all beautifully simpli6ed
by the system introduced by DR.. Beau
fort. who is in way following Fetch
er. His plan is to eat only one thing
at meal or two things at most.
Suppose woman is not as good
looking as she ought to be. and sup
pose the family treasury is low. and
suppose the father Of the family is
worried. and suppose there are things
to be bought and not enough money
with which to buy them
Or suppose different situation.
Suppose there is enough money for
everything except an automobile. and
suppose the father Of the family ear
nestly desires to own q car. What is
to be done about It?
The answer is found in the Beau
fort system. just as it might be found
In Fletcherizing. DR.. Beaufort advises
families to eat just one thing at each
meal

would say spinach. Still later he
would advise stewed fruit and bread
