How Times Have Changed
Since Twenty Years Ago

Urbana, O., Feb. 2o.-How times
do change!
1t is interesting to contrast cendi-
tions existing today with those OF
20 years ago.
A local club woman has just re-
minded her fellow club members OF
the fact that 20 years ago:
Nobody swatted the fly.
Nobody wore wrist watches.
Nobody wore white shoes.
Most young men had livery bills.
Farmers came to town for their
mail.
The hired girl received $1.50 a
week and was happy.
The butcher threw in chunk OF
liver.
Nobody listened in on the tele-
phone.
The merchant threw in pair OF
suspenders with every suit
There were no sane Fourth of

FISH" IS
TERM APPLIEDTO
"SMILELESS MAN.
Dr.. E. c. Barker, Apostle Of
Happiness. Tells Rotarians
About Sunshine Road.

How to keep from being a blind
fish" in a world offering beauty and
| joy to those who try to see, was
described to Rotarians and others at
the First Congregational church
last night by DR.. Charles E. Barker,
apostle of smiles, physical culture
exponent, and personal physician to
William Howard Taft during his
term as president.
Here is one recommendation he
made for finding the road to happi-
ness:
Morning Laugh In Bed.
"When you open your eyes in the
morning, lie there in bed for a few
minutes and laugh heartily. You
may feel foolish about it--I guess it
really is foolish--but it will get re-
suits"
The following recipe for happi-
ness" he urged his hearers to try
out for test period of at least three
months:
""1.-Cultivate the habit of always
looking on the bright side of every
experience that touches your life.
2.-Accept cheerfully the place
in which you find yourself each day,
believing always it is the best place
for you at that particular time.
"3--Do not have double stand
ard Of conduct, cne standard when
all dolled up and another for back
home Happiness, like charity,
should begin at homes
"4.--Form the habit of doing little
kindGesses and courtesies each day
for all the people who touch your
life Gncluding your wife, or your
husband).
"5.-Adopt and maintain a simple,
childlike confidence in God as a
father"
"Blind Fish" People.
DR.. Barker characterized as blind
fish" individuals who continue to
swim in dark blue waves of worry
and floods of fret, because they
claim their dispositions and tenn
peraments' keep them from any
other course.
Everything has bright side for
the person who looks for that side"
he dclared, "and there is no indi-
yidual fundamentally unable to
change his disposition. Too many
people worry about things which
have not taken place, and which
they cannot prevent from taking
place"
Here are some of the "don'ts," he
suggested for seekers of happiness.
Don't envy the position and op-
portunities Of other people. Happi-
ness is not dependent on what you
have, but upon what you do.
Don't indulge in domestic scrap
ping
Don't get theiidea that dreaming
Or drifting irresponsibly through life
is the solution OF happiness.
Don't forget to cultivate the op-
tinistic nerve"
Breakfast table chats form the
acid test of happiness in the home,
he said.
Reduced Taft 100 Pounds. x
The most important thing he ac-
complished in his four years of min
istration to Mr.. Taft was reducing
the former presidents weight 100
pounds, DR.. Barker declared.
He invited adults to attend his
lectures under Rotary club auspices
at South High school at 10 a. m.
Wednesday and at Commercial
High school at l p. IN. AT p. m.
the same day he will lecture to
Omaha women at the Hotel Fon-
tenelle on "The Mothers Response
hility to Her Children" At a public
Rotary club dinner at the Masonic
temple at $50 p. m. he will talk to
men on "The Fathers Responsible
ity TO His Sons"

Thanks largely to the traditions of

but there remain other opportunities,

Small Per Capita Consumption
Visitors at the national dairy show

from a government exhibit what a

ers, and dealers are just beginning to
realize that the cheese demand can be
increased tremendously if the merits

Eight countries have learned to

Denmark leads with a per capita con-

Three-fourths of a century ago the

principally American -Cheddar. al
though foreign varieties have been in
creasingly popular, and furnished in
1918 practically one-ffth of the cheese
consumed in this country.
Greater Variety of Uses Urged
Attempts to develop larger market
for cheese should take into account
the fact that practically all the cheese
now consumed is eaten purchased
very large proportion of it is used
with bread a filling for sand
wiches- Cottage cheese in some form
is consumed in large quantities Df-
etists have criticism of Americas
manner of eating cheese, save that
they urge its use in greater variety
of ways, and more regularly.
Everyone interested in en1arging
the market for cheese should under
stand clearly its food value 1t con-
tains over p per cent more protein
than the same weight of an average
cut of beef as purchased So far as
its composition is concerned cheese
is comparable with meat There
are great variety of ways of using
cheese in the same way meat, and
these can usually be readily learned
| by consulting the average cook book.
In planning menus in which cheese is
given important place, the house

rich in both protein and fat. cheese
may replace such foods fish and

cal foods characterized by a large

How to Increase Demand
