The closeness of Congress as

SWISS REFUSE TO JOIN
UNITED STATES,

Washington, Feb 6.-Informa-
ton that Switzerland will not
adopt President Wilson's sugges-
ton, that in the interest of world
peace, other neutrals follow the
united States and break off dip
lomatlc relations with Germany,
was received here to-day. SO far
as is known this is the first re-
Spouse.
SPANS taking over of Ameri-
can G. interests in Germany and
Switzerland's similar action for
German interests here are in
terpreted as removing both those
neutrals from participation in the
break in relations.
Spain is the largest neutral now
free from ENHANCEMENT in the
world war and is by far the bea(
equipped automatically to Serve
as an intermediary between the
belllgerent groups. The practical
certainty that an American break
with Austria also cannot be avoid
ed makes it more desirable tht
ever that Spain should remain ousl
side the struggle.

SUNNY JIM'S CURE.

lie was Just little Philadelphia
Walf with a tuberculosis spine
and a cherry smile. The two do
not often go together. Jim s
spine was SO bad that most of the
time the child could barely crawl
about. The doctor in the tuberc-
ulosls sanitarium said Jim chad
chance and so the tubercu-
loSlS bone was removed, another
bit of healthy bone iOerted and
jim was strapped to board to
await recovery. The long ted
lous months passed but Jim s
cherry smile never faded. The
doctors and nurses were untiring.
and just before Christmas the
straps were removed and Jim
stood upright. For the first
time in his nine years of life Jim
could take a few lettering steps.
His smile is broader, and his am
bition is to join a base ball team
as soon as he is strong enough to
run. Jim's case is only one of
thousands who have been cured
Of tuberculosis.
Louisiana has many sufferers
who need help. The anti tuberc-
llosis campaign plans to reach

WHY FUSS AND FEATHERS?

A cosmopolitan newspaper has
been conducting an inquiry inten.
! dcd to determine what sort Of wife
the young man Of to-day wants,
and what sort of husband the girl
| wants.
The expressions elected from
interested persons Of both sexes
are curious. NoSt IF the men
complain the i'e aowadays are
so silly, FRI and over
dressed, or SO ucar.y undrcsscd-
that they are undesirable as wives.
And most Of the girls complain
that the men won t have any
thing to do with a girl who
doesn't ovcrdress or follow the
Disgusting styles and behave
frlvolOusly. The prevalent idea
OF the mon, according to their
sober testimony, is the quiet.
home-loVing girls, who can enjoy
good time but whose chiefs
charms are of the old-fashioned
sort. And the prevalent idea of
the girls seems to be the man of
similarly quiet and solid quail |
ties.
Then why all the fuss. feathers
and foolishness that seem insep-
arabic from association of the sex
es nowadays. whether in fun or
oOurtship? Goodness knows. Wei
do know, however, that most men
prefer to select a wife from among

his character for he is as sure to

The boy rarely develops habits
or traits of character acquired
from mere chance acquaintance

intimates that he absorbs ideas
that become fixed in the mind and |
develop into character. Hence

those intimates be of right char
