City beautiful movements are well under way all over
the country No undertaking in large way, or indeed,
even small way, involving buildings or highways now
develops without much consideration Of appearance and
structural sizing up to how such undertaking may
best be made an additional thing of beauty and at
tractveness to the city or community This trend to-
ward identifying in very short time is going to ex-
tend first to the county highways and then to the state
highways; civic pride going to extend beyond the city
limits. Right now every improved roadway should be
developed and shaped to conform in the best possible
manner to future efforts of parking and landscapng OF
course the present improved roads will have to be
widened. There is hardly resident who would not
willingly have sacrificed little in the length of our
improved roads for the safety and comfort that few
additional feet in width would have given. genuine
tribute must be paid to the dexterity of automobile
drivers everywhere in avoiding accidents marveousy
as they do in passing and requesting over these erfy

The Humminc Birds Nest.

On Main street there is a humming-
birds nest in one of the store win
dows. This reminds me that in the
land of sunshine and roses in the
West where spent the summer, saw
not a single humming -bird-that DAM
test of all birds, probably because )
lived in the open country. The hum
ming bird is such a work of art that
one can scarcely believe such bird
exists and were 1t not for the occa-
sional glimpse we get of a long billed,
gauzy winged creature which appears
and disappears with lightning rapidity
in the vicinity of our flower beds, wa
might forget what a humming- bird
looks like.

Kitty Takes a Nap.

You remember the picture OF the big
bed and the tiny black baby inside,
just the small round head visible?
We have a duplicate in the city in the
shape Of large oak bed in one of the
show windows, displaying a soft look
ing, tufted mattress. In the exact cen
ter this morning there peacefully re-
posed a mite of gray kitten. Hcs
small eyes blinked at passersby &C.
casionally though for the most part
she maintained dead-to- the world
appearance. 1t Eas about the best adj
ve-.isement for mattress have seen
yet. Not much use trying to make a
public believe that mattress wasn't
comfortable. 1t looked to be the finest
place in the world for nap, Kitty
thought so, too.

The gym classes over at the Y. W. c. A. should at
tract wide attention amongst the of our city.
They should be especially considered by the more ma
ture women who live less and less in the open air es
years and who need intelligent exercise Of muscles
which are neglected and more as the activity Of
youth departs Winter naturally 2recludes the normal
amount Of exercise because of the miserable weather
attendant upon the season. and long days entirely shut
up in the average overheated American living room,
makes the value Of regular hours in gymnasium classes
of inesmabe importance and benefit. All winter long
there will be classes at hours and days convenient
for every one The exercises given not difficult nor
severe and are delight to work in The woman who
will enter one of these classes in the early fall and stick
to it faithfully until spring will find herself in better
health and general good condition than she has been
probably, in years. when the first depressingly warm
days come She will have frmer flesh and better coor
she will have better digestion and more pep" She Will
lose stiffness Of joints and she will be able to swing tho

facility for extending good health to the women through

~"ANY FOOL CAN FIND FAULT 7"
Phrase Is as True Today as When
Great Man Said It Many
Centuries Ago.

There is nothing however good but
a person may find some fault in it if
he is determined to do so. There is
nothing perfect that is Of mans max
ing. There is nothing that man orig.
mates or performs but what contains
more or less of his weakness. Worth,
like water; must stay below the level
OF its source. 1t is quite natural that
a person should dissent. The scien-
lists dispute as much as the theolo-
gians. Every time one obtains new
standpoint he changes his opinion.
Every time he meets friend he finds
that he differs
SO we must make up our minds to
disagree, but this disagreement may be
Of advantage if we disagree in the
right spirit. If we don't do that and
our disagreement falls into i'll will and
anxiety, then we become enemies Of
the truth and social pests besides. The
person we earnestly and candidly dis
agree with may be right and ourselves
wholly wrong. 1t would make us feel
very absurd sometimes, in the midst
Of violent controversy, to have a sud.
den light let in on the controversy and
show our adversary entirely right. The
safest thing, so far as ones conduct
toward him is concerned, is to remem-
Der he may be right and treat him ac-
cordingly.-Ohio State Journal.

Odd-FiIipino Custom.

Of the inherited rover spirit of the
wild people of Davao and their belief
that the death of a member of the
family is Indicative of the will of Allah
for them to change their homes, the
bureau of forestry says:
when someone dies in the house
built on the land or homestead given
to the head of the family, the entire
family will move to some other place,
and in most cases the house is either
burned or torn down and the land on
which it was built is abandoned for
some years. A bird of the pigeon fam.
lily, locally known as Alimukon, is the
common god or fortune teller Of the
wild people Of Davao Unless this
bird answers favorably to their suppl
cations to go back to the old place,
their old abode or abodes are either
forever abandoned or left untouched
for many years"

GOOD HEALTH RULES FOR Ali
English People Have Many Ideas
Which It Would Be Well for
Americans to Copy.

One Of the most popular forms of
food In England is cheese. This sup
plies highly concentrated protein
food which, when properly ripened and
masticated, is usually well assimilated.
Not only does this food contain large
percentage of protein, but it also con-
tains fat and mineral salts. When
combined with bread, which is a carbo-
hydrate food, cheese makes an ideaI
combination, supplying as it does all
the elements necessary for nourish-
ment- protein, fat, carbohydrate and
mineral salts.
Cheese and bread is very popular
form of food in England and it is
eaten by all classes. Being an eco
nomieal food. it is eaten to a larger
extent by the laboripg classes, who
owing to the sort Of work they do, re-
qulre a good tissue builder at mod
crate price,
It is well to remember that part Of
the health of the English race is due
to the fact that the English life is an
outdoor life, and it is a very good
thing for us to profit by this and cul-
tlvate at all times, in ourselves and in
our children, the habit of getting out
dOOrs as much as possible.

chinaman Finds Joy in Work.

While nature has been kind to China
In the gift Of natural resources, the
nature and quality of her people JUS
tify high expectations of their ability
to utilize these resources for the bene-
tit Of all mankind. The Chinese have
wrought out standard of living which
for efficiency in the realm Of labor
challenges the world. When the state
ment is made that Chinese laborer
can work for IL hours Of the "a for
L. cents day and board himself, the
suggestion will naturally come to mind
but what Of the quality Of the work !?
The Chinaman has not yet raised the
question Of the number Of hours which
constitutes days work. He tolls UNI
complainingly from break Of day until
the evening star is clearly in sight, and
this he will do every day Of the week.
Holidays are not frequent. and work
is the source Of his JOY.
