Strenuous Exercise.

They were talking about the value Of
regular physical exercise, and one Of
the group, noticing that Meredith
Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty
fit, asked him what he did to keep in
condition.
"Who, me?" he exclaimed. why, I
don't need any calisthenics or things
of that sort. live in a house on the
sunset side of the street and l get all
the exercise my system needs in build
ing the fire every morning"
THAT doesn't seem to offer much
chance for exercise" remarked a
friend. What kind of fire is it you
build, wood or coal?"
Neither" replied Nicholson. 1--WE
use gas, and have to scratch a match
every time light the fire."

fine white linen, which was turned I'D

CRIES TO GET ITS OWN WAY
Child Soon Learns to Know the Effect
of Tears on Mother, Declares
an Authority.

A mother can seldom Withstand the
tears of her baby, especially If it is
her first baby. And yet the fear that
babies will cry, or the mothers soft
ness OF heart, accounts for much OF
the over-indulgence of children. AS
soon as a child finds out that a
mother Is perfectly willing for him to
cry If he likes, and as long as he likes,
and that 1t doesn't disturb her in the
least, but she just sits compIacentIy
(outwardlyD by and reads or sews,
crying loses its virtue and life from
that lesson on grows decidedly more
sunshiny. For most of the crying OF
young child Is done deliberately be-
cause the child soon finds out that IL
Is the way to get what it wants. II
know 1t Is wrong to give In to my
child when he cries." said q mother
recently, but do it for the sake OF
the neighbors." This feeling for the
neighbors is penny wise, pound fool
ish. In the first place anyone who
lives near babies expects to hear
them cry more or less, because all
babies cry. But no baby cries so
much as the one whose mother is so
afraid of his crying that she Is always
trying to prevent 1t. Hard-hearted it
may sound, but the common sense
fact remains nevertheless that the
crying of young child shall have no
weight whatever in his management,
except as a symptom. In itself cry
Ing is not serious; on the contrary, it
IS healtnful. mother must decide
whether the crying Is symptom Of
PAIN WEAKNESS or of temper. But
having decided that, she must treat
the pain, the WEAKNESS or the tenn
per, but never the crying ITSELF

THAT MOST WONDERFUL BABY
Surely Young Mother Had Good Rea-

1t takes a baby to appreciate a baby

Sounds Like Good Logic.

Recently, several educators came to
the conclusion, after lot of argument
and discussion, that 1t is useless to
teach girls higher mathematics and
logic and that the time should be de-
voted to giving the girls more prac-
teal training that will fit them to be
housewives and mothers. 1t is much
better, say the educators, to teach
cooking, housekeeping and nursing
So far as logic is concerned, the edu-
Gators point out that the minds Of
young women can be disciplined just
as much, If not more So by putting
them through rigorous courses in
what will be of practical benefit to
them in life. 1t further is argued that
mathematics and such studies do not
help a woman to be a better COM
panion to her husband, for he uses
those things only in his business, and
a woman rather should study things
that can be of help to him in his hours
of relaxation

TURKS ARE FALLING BACK
THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE FOR
PURPOSE OF LURINc Bull
eARlANs ON
ADRIANOPLE AWAITS ATTACK
THE sULTAN's GOVERNMENT IS
coNGREcATINe LARGE
ARMY THERE

London, Oct. 21.-Three and per.
haps four big battles probably will be
begun within few days, if not a Few
hours, on the territory Of European
Turkey. The armies Of the Balkan
allies have now crossed the frontier
on all sides, while The Turks, as their
OH onents advance, are giving ND
their frontier posts and abandoning
small and unimportant towns, falling
back slowly into their strongly en-
trenched positions, preparatory to Civ
ing battle there.
The Bulgarian army will, it is
thought be the first to strike
because at its objective point, the for
tress of Adrianople. the main Turkish
army is growing in strength. II the
Bulgarians allow the Turks time, the
Sultan's army will outgrow that OF
the invaders.
1t was rumored today that two out
of the outer forts of Adrianople had
fallen into the Bulgarians' hands and
the town Of Kirk -Kilisseh had been
captured, but there was no confirma-
tion. The Greek army is resting az
ter its capture of the Turkish town
of Elassona.
The grimmest fighting OF the var Is
likely to occur out OF sight of the
main armies, as some 1000 Albanians
are arming, and Greek and BulgariaH
bands have taken to the hills, where
they will engage in guerilla warfare.
A column Of Greek troops was re-
pulsed today when it attacked the
Komiadis Pass. which is held by the
Turks, according to a news agency
dispatch from Constancinople. Ko-
maids Pass is in the mountains On
