father hates to go to bed at night and mates 10 get up in the morning, and that IS all right and perfectly natural, but IT the children exhibit the same trait they are lazy and good for nothing. A woman would rather have a long, instance complexion than have no color in her face. If you didn't get that inc
 first time, think it over. What has become of the old ia shionad
 mother who was afraid that the baby's

 Many man who marries living pie ture spends the rest of his life ho!ler- ing about the cost of the frame. An ideal husband is one who is afra i'd of his wife and hasn't the nerve to be anything else. A smart wife never weeps when her husband breaks a promise. She knows that he will so right ahead and mako another
 explorer who used to discover the north pole?
 Another thing We hate about winter is that it gives too many men an ex- cuse to make a sweater take the place of a shirt.
 You may not believe it. But many husband never gets to eat in the din- ing room unless his wife has company. | Most of us expect our wives to be bet | ter than we expect them to expect US l to be.

HOW TO END THE WAR

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 Why wouldn't it be a fine scheme to stop the war one day week for 10 weeks, thus conserving soldiers and mili- tary expenses?" asks the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The way to win the war is not to stop it for minute. Germany is tired, when the other fellow has that tired feeling.''

Henley Hears "Professor,

T was delighted to have an oppor- tunity to hear one of my Princeton pro- fessors make an address on the Red Cross,' said John C. Henley. Jr., who was present at the luncheon at the Tut wiler, given in honor of Prof. Stockton Axson, the gifted and versatile secre- tary of the Red Cross campaign.
 Tt was a luminous statement not merely of the bare statistics of how the money was being spent, but series of vivid pictures showing the fields in which it was carrying on its many helpful ac- tivities. I had not seen Professor AXson fer r years. He gave those who at tended his classes taste for Shake speare that will last them through life.
