Controlling the Temper.

Good health Is the first requisite OF a
good temper. All one knows or feels
finds expression through the body.
Thought, will, action, are all influenced
by its condition. Whatever impairs the
integrity of the body or disturbs the
harmony of Its wonderful organization
creates discord for the whole being.
Unpleasant feelings due to i'll health
are likely to produce corresponding IN
pleasantness of disposition. The dis
order, If prolonged, results In bad
habit, thus becoming an element In in
div1dual character. Deranged digestion,
vitiated blood and other impaired vital
processes are ut the foundation OF
much of the irritability, Impotence. ca
price, Ill temper and so called naughti-
ness of childhood.-Good Health.

ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN.

AIr. Hughes has not tried to scare
anybody, but has merely portrayed
the errors of the present Administra-
ton and set forth certain principles
on which the affairs Of the country
should be managed in the future.
There is a political logic In this pOr-
trayal, the elimination of which In the
mind of the voter Is expressed by the
frequent remark:
HE is the kind of man we want to
steer us through"
This has been said by many busi-
ness man. The qualities seen in Mr..
Hughes are poise, a strong, sane mind,
sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice
life, physical or political, to the good
OF the country. Nor is there any ques-
ton as to the quality of nerve to meet
the emergencies of the four years be-
ginning March A, 1917.

MAKINGS OF A HAPPY MAN.
Qualities That Make Life q JOY For
Their Possessor.

We have noticed the hnpplest man
many time. He works for his living,
and he gets good one. One thing we
notice is he Is man of fine habits;
doesn't squander cent on liquor, to-
bacco or betting. He saves his money
and is getting ready to buy some prop
erty. He loves his home, plays with
the children, reads good books and
keeps company with his wife. Because
of his good habits he saves a little
which will give him a chance to make
an investment.
And then there is another thing-he
is reliable man. He does good work.
He will not smooth over bad work. He
is honest I'm whatever he does. Every
dollar he gets represents just that
much of honest labor. IL Is this, large
ly, that makes him prosperous and
happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
do conduct and character and pros
perity. If q man is mean and low, so
will the consequences be. He cannot
be one thing and his experience anoth-
er. A low lived man may grow rich
and happy, but it will not be for long.
Anybody can tell what's the matter
with a man IL he is with him a day.
He will soon see II the other Is a
spleen, a stomach, an uplift or a hope.

There seem to be two conceptions

There are some who apparently be-

education to serve or rule the peo-
pie?
Such was the question Atty w. H.
Holley asked in his remarks open
ing the teachers plea in Judge Den
mis- Sullivan's court today for an in
junction restraining the board Of ed
ucatiOn from putting Loeb Rule No.
2 into effect.
This is the fourth time in a few
months that the public school teach
ers of Chicago have been forced to
go into court to protect themselves
and their profession against the at
lacks Of a faction of the board of ed
cation lead by Board Pres. Jake Loeb.
Loeb Rule No. l said that no teach
er could belong to a labor union or
any organization which had paid
officers who were not active school
teachers. This meant the Chi
Teachers Federation without men
tioning it. Judge Sullivan granted
the teachers an injunction against
this rule.
Next the rule was amended to
mention specifically that it was the
Chi. Teachers Fed. which teachers
must not belong to under penalty of
losing their jobs. Judge O'ConnOr
granted an injunction for the teach
ers against this rule and the appellate
court last month upheld his decision,
making an overwhelming defeat for
Loeb ard his No. l rule.
"By the new rule" said HOlley,
"the old policy of the board is re-
versed; teachers instead of possess
ing their jobs until they are dismissed
for cause are at the end of each
school year all thrown out of theiri
jobs and must depend upon the
board to vote them back into job for
the next year. 1t means that each
year the teachers will have to work
