MOTHER SHOULD MAKE WILL
Guardians Who Are Appointed by
Court, at a Price, Not Always
Satisfactory.

Sometimes the failure to make a will
involves more than loss of time and
money You are a widow and die with
out will, leaving children who are
not yet of age. Now you may not care
who looks after your property, but you
do have q lively interest In the person
who looks after your children, Samuel
Scoville. Jr., writes In Good House
keeping. II you have left will, you
could have named therein the guardian
Of your children. The court must do
so, and the guardian appointed by 1t
may charge commission, counsel fees
and premiums payable out Of your chill
dren's share Of your estate.
Suppose you have real estate. It
can't be sold without an order OF the
court. That involves a long and ex-
pensive proceeding on the part Of your
administrator. II you leave minor
children, that still further complexities
matters. A guardian must be appoint
ed for them who must join in the ap-
plication-at q price-and their shares
must be set aside and held until they
are Of age-also at q price. Infant 3
proceedings" as such actions are
termed, are most technical and expen-
sive, yet unless every contingency is
provided for, good title cannot be given
to the real estate. Nor can clear title
be given for at least two years after
your death. II you had left will, you
could have included therein power of
sale, and at any time when the inter
ests Of the estate demanded 1t the
property could have been sold.

MOVEMENT FOR PURE EGGS
Proposal Made That PeregrInatIons Of
Hens Be Investigated and
Results Noted.

There Is a general sort of feeling
that one fresh egg is as good as anoth-
or, says the Kansas City Star Who is
1t that is ready to ask whether her
weekly supply of eggs is fortified or
not? Most of US are particular to the
point of pettiness on the subject OF
pure bread, we will only buy our rolls
done up in waxed paper, we will not
look at anything but grade A milk. In
accordance with our ideas restaurants
even do up loaf sugar in sealed billets,
and SO on through the list without
q lapse until we come to eggs.
AS q matter of fact, egg shells are
not germ proof by any means. From
the moment we realize how 1t happens
that an egg can grow stale" we must
admit that contamination is possible.
A whole group of disquieting revela-
tions follows upon this admission, not
the least Of which is the discovery that
the garden or farmyard hen is at pres
emit allowed to saunter whittier she
listeth regardless of hygiene. Then
we trustfully gather her product and
feed it to our babies and invalids, for
getting that unless hens are healthful,
unless their food is pure and clean,
they cannot lay pure eggs.
When poultrymen realize this, and
all scientific poultrymen do realize it,
the chicken nuisance will be a thing
of the past, and people who want to
sell eggs will no more want their fowls
to run free than the modern dai-yman
allows his kline to nibble by the road
side.

Habit Of Saving.

The United States Is thriftier than
1t Is commonly given credit for being,
because statistics most frequently
quoted DO not give all savings depos-
its, and because a vast deal of savings
goes on outside OF savings institutions.
Yet it does not live up to its oppor-
tunities by long way. One Of the
country's ablest business men said not
long ago that anyone could tell wheth.
er he was going to succeed or fail by
his ability to save. II he could not
save he could not succeed. At any
rate, inability to save. for a man with
an income above the bread line and
no unusual i'll luck, implies lack OF
self-control that Is not conducive to
success.
Like nearly everything else, 1t is
matter Of habit, and. with little de-
termination to begin with, the right
habit Is as easily formed as the wrong
one. Try 1t this year.-Saturday Eve

Grand Dukes playful WAY.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is not q
man who talks, but he has a playful
way with him at times, according to
the story told by Julius West in SOL
dieTs of the Gar" Some time ago,
during an inspection, the grand duke
was standing next to the emperor, a
few yards away from group Of gem
erals. He ordered General Russky.
then In command Of the forces In that
region, to step forward. The grand
duke next ordered a private soldier to
come forward and hack of the gen
erals epaulettes. 1--WE can imagine"
says Mr.. West, ''the dismay Of the
other generals as the soldier obeyed.
Now cut mine off, was the next
order. The soldier did so. Now put
them on his shoulders ~
1t was the grand duke playful little,
way of promoting Russky to the rank
of adjutant general, the highest in
the Russian army.

TELL OF PAST GLORY
RUINS OF ROMAN PALACES ME-
MENToEs OF GREATNESS.
PosIlIpo, In the "Fairest Land of Eu-
rope" Has History Which Makes
1t of Enhancing interest to
the Tourist.

The city of Naples gives no idea
Of the beauty of southern Italy. 1t sits
like ragged vagrant by the roadside
in the fairest land of Europe
II you would see all of this beauty
at glance, visit the steep headline of
Posilipo, which juts into the sea be-
yond the city. Here are combined the
beauties of the modern Campania-
the smooth roads winding upward past
white villas, the blue sky, under which
the earth seems to glow, while the sea
is tipped with silver-and the most
striking. relics of the long-gone days
OF the Roman empire and the middle
ages, those periods SO full Of story and
color, which have moved across Italy,
environed in her beautiful landscape
and inspired by the romantic tempera-
ment Of her people, like the acts of
some mighty pageant.
At Posilipo stood the villa of Vir-
gil, greatest Of the Latin poets, and
here today is vault where his re-
mains are said to lie. 1t was at Fo-
silipo that Virgil wrote the Georges,
those beautiful Latin pastorals that
| picture all the seasons Of the year as
] the poet studied them from his coun-
try seat. Here after he had died came
many another poet and sage to put
flowers on his tomb
This famous sepulcher is a low
stone vault with three windows. There
formerly stood within 1t a tall urn,
which was said to contain the ashes of
the poet, but this has disappeared and
is said to have been removed by King
Robert the Wise to his palace for safe
keeping.
At the very end of the head1and
stands one of the most impressive
relics Of Roman luxury in all Italy. It
Is the ruin Of Pausilypum, the villa
built by Vedlus Polio and bequeathed
by him to Augustus Caesar. THE End
Of Sorrow" is the meaning of its name,
which has become that of the entire
headland.
Here are remains of massive white
marble walls and pillars and founda-
lions, reaching far out into the water,
and from these and from the numerous
legends and stories that cling about
them, one may reconstruct the beauty
and splendor and license Of the life OF
decadent Rome. He may picture the
great villa, sitting on the point of the
headland, backed by dark groves, with
its white feet in the breaking sea. He
may reconstruct in fancy the Odeon
and the theater, where the lord and
his guests were entertained: the fish
pond into which Vedius caused a serv-
ant to be thrown and devoured for
breaking glass; the wide-fung gal
leries and porticoes, the elaborate
marble baths. And this palace of by

Leap-Year Advice.

Here is the sage counsel which Miss
Lucille Pugh, feminist, suffragist and
lawyer-and also quite pretty-is
quoted as offering to all bachelor girls,
absolutely without fee, for their leap
year guidance, says the New York
Evening Sun.
Propose to the man Of your choice,
but look up his rating first"
Short and to the point. By the re-
course to Bradstreet's it is argued that
women may avoid unhappiness fire.
Quently resulting from penniless mar
riages. Goodl-as far as 1t goes. But
what eminent counselor Of the other
sex will not stand forth to aid his
trembling brethren? Such one
might well advise:
Accept the woman who proposes
to you If you like her, but first look
up her rating in the domestic arts"
One prerequisite is as fair as the
other. For the woman: Do not mar
ry for money, but love where money
is; for the man: Do not marry to
provide yourself with cook, but
while marrying you might as well
marry someone who can make out of
the place you live in home. Some
thing more than a liberal income is
required to produce comfortable cir
cumstances" for two.
