A cooked cereal stays by one IN
the winter much better than a pre-
pared breakfast food. If one uses a
freless cooker the cereal IS the easiest

In a few minutes we four were sit

hurried the party through their
greetings, then Daddy explained that
no had come along to look out for
Chrys vast interests in Mexican
mines. He insisted that he had be-
heVed that Hamilton Certeis was
dead. But his daughter thought diff
ferenty. She had set her heart on
investigating the rurnor about the
resurrection OF Certeis. Her ouija
board had been backed up by a mys-
terious correspondence carried on
through q German named Berghoff.
The man had claimed that Certels
was alive. The man had disappear

"Hell's toe good a place for a spy"
remarked Daddy-then he went on:
'Chrys came to Mexico TO state her
intention OF taking possession Of her
husbands estates, il he proved to be
dead. And in case var comes. There
are mines on tho property, some of

You DO not think there viii be a

I heard Bob say.
II am not q politician-and I am
not q prophet" Daddy replied. "I
know that Mexico protects British
subjects from bandits. and yet Great
Britain has refused to recognize the
Carranza government. The United
States never gets the same decisive
action from Mexico in similar cases.
Bob, I tell you the feeling is spread

Mexico provides q fertile field for

BETTER ABIES
MUST ACQUIRE
HEALTH HABITS
By DIR. Dorothy r.. Mendenhan, U. S

BY DIR. Dorothy X. MeRdenhail, U. S.
Chiidren's Bureau.
Most children are naturally ayerse
to o and water and toothbrush.
Almost by instinct they hate to go to
bed. But the wise mother knows that
sven young children ear be trained to
good habits hat not only make for
health, but also for the child's self
respect and often for his success in
later life. No child Is too young to
train. The formation of habits be-
! gins in the first months Of life, and the
mother should begin then to accustom
the baby to healthful modes of living.
Teach Regular Habits.
A regular bed hour should be es-
tablished and never departed from. If
q child knows that 8 o'clock means
bed and that mother will not give in
to teasing, he soon learns to accept the
fact without protest. Children be-
tween 6 and IL need between IL and
IA hours sleep. Younger children
need more. Bedroom windows should
be open at night, winter and summer.
Washing and bathing and brushing
teeth can be turned into games A
daily bath is desirable. Hands should
be washed after going to the toilet,
before meals and at bedtime. Teeth
should be brushed. at least after
breakfast and supper Even the baby
teeth should be cared for; for the
health Of the second set depends
largely upon the care given to the
first.
Weight is Important.
One Of the most important factors
in health is a regular bowel move
ment. Even little babies can be
taught to "use the chair" at q regular
hour each day. Constipation can be
prevented by proper diet.

dress her, invites their contempt. If
positions are easy to obtain, the maid
manifests her contempt in more than
one way; IL jobs are scarce, she masks
her real feelings, but q gradual feeling
OF resentment grows, and she becomes
an easy victim Of some OF our radical
propaganda.
! The working woman recognizes the
worth and achievement wherever it is
found, and IL the woman Of wealth Is
industrious. a feeling Of respect Is
created. Each one feels she is a cog
in the wheel OF life-doing her best,
and a spirit of cooperation springs
lup, which makes for contentment.
, Having the vote, 1t is our duty to
assume the responsibilities hat go
with citizenship. We are a part of
tho government. We must realize
that we are no longer dolls or drones,
but important factors IN h upbuild-
ing of this country.
Industry, Not "UpIift."
, We are not going to do this by any
theoretical ideas of 'uplift." But we
are going to do it by industry and
practical application of rules for good
! citizenship.
Sc far no human brain has devised
q better system of government than
that which our forefathers gave us.
! People from foreign shores seeking
liberty here, are Intoxicated by their
new freedom and think 1t gives them
license to indulge in whims. They
should be instructed by our women
what the ideals and standards of our
government represent. This is plain
" the duty Of m Of this country,
and we must pay our price for the
advantage of being born in the great
est and most glorious democracy the
world has known by helping our less
! fortunate neishbors to realize this
blessing.

Because I happened to be living In
Petrograd during the first revolution,
and saw something of the chaos
worked by mob rule. with absolutely
no good results to be written down
for 1t. / am naturally an ardent sup
porter of characterization work for
my country.
Women represent the conservative
element in every community. That Is
to say, they being the homekeepers,
they prefer order to chaos. They are
the potential rulers OF the country.
They are the SOUND patriots.
Women must be in the vanguard
for all progressive changes that mean
the betterment of the individual and
the masses. Women today must fully
rally to the battle-cry that means the
preservation of our national institu-
tons. They must educate themselves
and the democracy in our government
before they permit 1t to be torn down
by selfish agitators in the excitement
Of revolution.
Glass Cooperation.
People who are attracted here from
foreign shores be taught to
adapt themselves to our viewpoint of
government, just as our educated
people, when they go to foreign lands.
adapt the viewpoint Of the people of
the country in which they live.
We need not do this in a p~atroniZ-
ing fashion. Much of the unrest in the
country today ONE from misunder-
standing between the classes. We
women of the country must work for
sensible cooperation. For instance,
in the days of our forebears, the
strife between mistress and maid did
not exist. Why7 Because the mis-
tress put on her apron, rolled up her
sleeves, and the maid recognizing her

Brain Youth
By GEORGE MATTHEW adams


COMEONE has given to us the strik-
~ ing sentence: ITO the young. Ma
ture does nothing but give; from the
old she does nothing but take away"
Your brain is the only Power in YOUR
entire body that may not age.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
To your Brain your viii may say:
Life at its longest is but like the
looking back and reviewing of a sin
gle day." For Youth never returns to
your muscles and to your bones and
to your arteries-but Youth trots
along with your Brain-if your Will
says so.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
William E. Gladstone, past eighty
chopping down trees, translating the
Classics anew, tramping the fields
and solving mysteries-stands out as
one of the most striking examples of
those who kept their Brains young as
their bodies grew old.
Keep Youth alive in Your Brain.
1t is Interest that puts Youth into
your Brain and drives away age. Just
so long as you are Interested in the
things you are doing, just so long
work will grow upon you, strengthen

every ounce of your effort.

THE SLEEPING PORCH

TIME sleeping porch is something
Il which is added to a house in
order to provide more room for fresh
air and feet Every night during the
heated term thousands of new, expen-
sive sleeping porches are crowded
with feet which protrude carelessly
from the coverlets, instead of having
to be run out of hall bedroom win
dow in the effort to cool off. All over
the middle West, at this time of the
year, myriad number of faithful feet
wearing patent corn pads are led into
sleeping pOrcheS by their owners aad
put where the mild evening zephyr
and the stray lightning bug can roam
over their surface.
Nine times out of ten the sleeping
