indicate the origin of the picture

CUT DOWN YOUR SUNDAY DIET
Eat Less and Exercise More and Elim-
mate BLUE Monday" is
Good Advice.

GrouchineSs is more prevalent on
Monday morning than at any other
time in the week, and 10 such an ex-
tent that life is made dlsagreeable
temporarily for many families and for
many coworkers. That such manifes-
tations of i'll feelings are detrimental
TO public and private interests is wide
~ acknowledged. but IL has remained
for DIR. Samuel G. Dixon, state COM
missioner of health, TO direct public
attention TO the Monday morning
crouch and to tell how 1t can be done
away with.
The majority of people" Doctor
Dixon says, according to the Pitts
burgh Chronicle-Telegraph. "are apt
TO fall into two general divisions. One
class tries to crowd too much into the
time between one weeks end and the
beginning of the next weeks labor.
They take up their labor on Monday
morning exhausted and overtired in
stead of refreshed by the day Of rest
The other class goes to extremes by
overeating and underexerctsing, and
the result is equally unhappy"
To these causes the doctor could
have added the hang over" from Sat-
urday night, for that there is more dis
sipation then than during any other
night in the week Is beyond dispute.
This is followed by late rising on Sum-
day morning and, IL the stomach will
permit, the eating of three meals,
which are always heavier on Sunday
than on other days. The remedy, then,
lies with the individual, and It con-
sists in abstinence from liquor Satur-
day night, and less eating and more ex-
ercise-nOthing better than a long
walk-on Sunday. By following this
plan what is known as blue Monday"
will be wiped off the social and bust
ness calendar, and everybody will be
fit TO enter upon the duties of the
week.

Stumbled on Burglars Cache.

A burglars haul amounting 10 ST.
500 was recently discovered by a gar
dener while digging up some flower
beds in Kingston. England. He was
preparing the beds for the winter
when he was surprised to find ar
ticles Of jewelry among the earth
turned up by his spade. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two of them in q short time
brought TO the surface some two or
three hundred articles of jewelry, all
in gold, consisting of gold watches, ex-
banding wristlet watches, finger
rings, earrings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles. some of them set with
diamonds and other precious stones,
the whole being sufficient TO fill the
apron Of one OF the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and sue
ceeded in recovering several smaller
articles. Later in the day the jewel
cry was Identified as that stolen from
a jeweler whose shop had been broken

ARE DRAMATIC By INSTINCT
Impersonatins Pirates and Robbers
Not Necessarily Harmful and Anti
Militarism Is Not Encouraged by
Forbiddine Military Toys.
BY slooNIE M. GUTENBERG.

IN TIMES OF peace many Of US can
i visualize the horrors OF war clear
" enough TO make US oppose every
thing that encourages militarism. But
with half of the civilized world bleed
ing, the horrors are before the minds
of all of us constantly, and We are
moved 10 do something more effective
than shutting oCr eyes. We realize
the importance OF intoxicating in the
young a type OF patriotism that is free
from agCreSSivenesS or jingOiSm. Con-
tdent OF our patriotism, we turn our
attention TO n crusade against mill
tary" toys and the playing Of soldiers
by the children.
There is, of course, no use in over
stimulating children in these plays.
Nothing is 10 be gained by urging
more lively interest in details OF mill
tary campaigns or in making the chill
dren more familiar with the instru-
ments Of destruction. But neither is IL
wise 10 forbid TO boys the playing of
soldier.
When boys play soldier ii is in re-
Spouse 20 two facts which cannot be
entirely removed. The child, at GER
tain age, will not only initiate what he
sees going on around him, but he will
dramatize all the activities OF which he
learns. This instinct is there II the
child is normal, and any outside regu-
lation. 10 be effective, must consist not
OF rules regarding what may or what
may not be played, but ii must take the
form Of selecting all the ideas that are
TO enter the child's mind. This is OBJ
viously an impossible task. With all
his devices and resources, the father Of
the Buddha failed In his efforts TO keep
from the child all knowledge of suf-
fering and death. Nor can we hope 70
keep our children long in ignorance of
suffering and death, or war and MUIR
der, or robbery and other crimes. And
whatever they learn they will incor-
porate in their plays just as certainly
as they have an opportunity TO play
ar all.
Forbidding certain types of play will
not modify the natural impulses 10
initiate and 10 dramatic. Neither will
il destroy the child's natural interest
in the unusual and in the dramatic"
On the contrary, forbidding is one of
the surest ways Of arousing interest,
one of the surest ways of tempting 10
action.
But even IL we could prevent the
children's participation in these mimic
paradings and warnings, 1t is very
doubtful whether ii would be worth
while to do so. The injury that may
come from playing soldier has been
exaggerated. The fact is that children
do all their playing. at least during
the years before adolescence, entirely
without prejudice. They are alter
nately Indians and Puritan Pilgrims
they impersonate the parish priest or
Captain Cook with equal sincerity and |
abandon. When they enact a stage |
robbery there is no moral implication |
in the assignment of roles, and as |
they view the drama of life from the |
'nsophisticated level of three to four |

which were ornamented with bits Of
colored worsted. Il am one of the
Early Sea People" Francis had not
invented the character; he had mere
ly adopted him from the book they had
been reading in school.
The question of the moral effect OF
impersonating the soldier is very much
like the older question of what hap
pens TO the actor who takes the part
Of the villain in the play. Should the
children's play be quite without its
villains or bad fairies? Then IL is in
complete and not sufficiently true 10
life 10 be interesting. 10 be satisfying.
On the other hand, If the evil spirit is
10 appear will ii harm your child or
mine TO play his role?
Experience shows that children may
play robber and pirate with great
guStO, and yet grow up TO be upright
and honored citizens, and even judges.
In the same way it is quite possible for
children 10 play soldier, and then be-
come advocates Of peace al any price
The literary editor OF a well-known
woman'S magazine, the editor OF an
educational magazine. and prominent
minister, all told me that they had
ambitions toward q military career
not during childhood. but during late
adolescence. The editors both made

cases can no doubt be found in all
