ALL HAVE KNOWN PUPPY LOVE
One of the Strong Features of Child.
hoods Happy Days Which Some
Foolish People Deny.

The ajority of US, as children, were
victims of puppy love" in one form
or another. To deny it would be to
deny that we ever played post office.
London bridge and dropping the hand
kerchief. To adult onlookers the
throbbing of the juvenile heart is silly
and ridiculous; there are many Who
feel that it should be discouraged by
punishment. Lately, however. science
has come to believe that love of the
callow variety is an incentive to men,
tai achievement and moral stability in
children.
Take the infantile form of love as ii
is often seen between boys and girls
under the age of eight. 1t is trans
parent affection, with no self-con-
seriousness, and appears in fondness
for each others company, gifts for
keepsakes. dainties to eat, and in en-
/ braces and kisses. Jealousy is often
| well developed, and there is no mutual
| shyness or fear of ridicule between
/ the little sweethearts, who sometimes
assume that they will marry, and even
prattle of details of life together. In
rare cases an attraction of this SORT
has eliminated in happy and fruitful
wedlock, but usually it is outgrown In
later years and remains, if at all
merely as fast-dimming memory.

Sickness Costs Millions.

The United States loses S740,O00,00O
year through illness of workers and
at least half of this can be prevented.
DR.. John F. Anderson of New York,
president of the American Public
Health association declared in an ad-
dress to the association. American
workers number 100000, he said,
and they lose ain average of nine days
d year by sickness, or total of 100000
working years. Assuming wages to av-
erage two dollars a day and medical
care one dollar, the loss would reach
the figure named. In this sum is not
included the loss and suffering In the
families of workers because of dimln-
ished productivity, and eurtailment OF
the years of active work as result OF
previous illness.

MUCH LIKE MODERN CITIES
Visitor to ng-Buried Pompei Finds
Sight Does Not Come Up to
His Expectations.

Pompeii is the deadest of dead cities,
having been thoroughly and complete
ly killed by Mount Vesuvius. Never
theless, it is growing as fast as some
enterprising town with busy board
of trade. Instead of building up new
and desirable districts In Pompeii, they
dig them out. The town can go on
growing for quite a while yet if the
appropriation for excavation holds out.
There is something exceedingly sad
dening and depressing about POmpeii.
Even the approach seems to have been
artistically designed to lead up TO the
grand effect. The way runs between
the sea on the right hand and an old
and battered countryside ON the left,
with half-ruined, rundown villas set
about with the curiously symmetrical
italian stone pines that look like
artificial trees with their too smooth
perfection of form.
At the very gates of the ruined city
| there is great display of greenery, as
! though nature were trying to heal the
scar of what she had wrought in one
| of her moments of anger. Perhaps,
indeed. she would have covered over
the dead cities by this time with a
smooth and decent mantle, leaving the
ruins and skeletons of slumber be-
meath unsupported and undisturbed,
but the antiquarian and the shovel
gang have come along to dig up the
dead of another age, ard the silent
empty city they have excavated is like
one great tomb.
Before you come to Pompeii YOU
think that there will be something
magnificently impressive about this
ghost of an alien time preserved by the
wrath of a volcano. 1t is pathetic
rather than impressive, however. Yor
can trace or your guide, in bad Eng
lish, will trace for you just how The
currents of that far-off life flowed IL
the channels of everyday domesticity
with home and temple and tavern jus
as the life of today. You come ex
pecting to view curiously the remains
of a life infinitely different from you
own. AS you walk about the empt.
streets rutted by the wheels of van
ished chariOts you are cast down be
cause that life was so infinitely tn
I same.

house, who says, YOU get around to
the back door where you belong, and
stay in the kitchen, and go up the back
stairs. Then she is given the worst
room in the house to sleep in.
Where do these girls find their
companions? When a man comes to call
on one Of them she can entertain him

sit on the wash tub he can sit in the
sink If be doesn t like either, they &C
