BEAUTY CHATS.
Keeping Youthful.

A man who has succeeded in keep
ing himself young up to the age or
SeVenty-tWo says that to know how
to keep physically youthful is to
know first why you grow old. The
only difference between young body
and an old one is that the young one
is elastic and the old one is inelastic.
This man explains the cause of old
age as follows:
The human body is composed of an
intricate network of veins and ar
teries through which the blood rushes.
repairing the waste of the human
system and carrying a constant sup
ply of nourishment through it. Think
tubes. and the whole idea will be
much simpler and clearer.
AS you go through life these ar
teries clog up with deposit of sedi-
ment. Just as any system of pipes
through which water runs will clog
finally the water cannot get through.
As this deposit Of sediment accumu-
lates in the arteries hardening takes
place. This is technically desert bed
as arterio- -sclerosis. and that is old
age. Some times this hardening of the
arteries affects the heart principally,
sometimes the brain; in any case it
means that less and less blood can be
carried to these parts and that the
whole system becomes increasingly
less efficient.
If it were possible to eliminate those
clogging deposits the body would
again become elastic: in other words,
would become young once more If
it were possible to prevent further
formation Of these deposits where
they have once started old age could
be pushed off an indefinite number of
years.
AS to how this may be done-this
is long and complicated subject
about which we will talk later 1t
cannot be done by medicine; it can
only be done to an extent by diet,
The best method to do it seems to he
by mechanical means or by exercise.

BY ELSIE ROBINSON.

The biggest load I ever removed
from my neck was the idea that l al

right, particularly with children. Be
fore | lost that idea ! was always
making excuses or blaming some one
else. The trouble was [ always pick
ed on the wrong person to blame and
he promptly showed up and raised
Cain. Then I had to lie.
That might have been all right if l
not. I always forget what 1 said the
last time. Also I have absolutely no
control over my lies. They simply
bust all over the scenery. The result
was that at first people ragged at me,
and then laughed at me. And moth
ing can he worse than to be laughed
at because you're a poor liar.
Then there was the children. OF
course. every adult is supposed to be
infallible with children. But there
never yet was a child that didn't see
through the game and treat it with
the contempt it deserved.
Now I like children. l look up to
them. | long to have them treat me
as an equal. But l couldn't seem to
manage it.
Until at last one day the beautiful
hunch dawncd on me that | could
eliminate all the bother if l would
just acknowledge the truth-which
is that | have very little sense and
seldom use that which I have.
Since when all has been serene.

Chatterer Has Fun With

Who does not fear to take chance
VIII make the most OF circumstance.
-Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
That is Chatterer all over. In all
the Green Forest there is no one who
appears to so thoroughly enjoy mis-
chief as does Chatterer the Red Squr-
rel. And there is no one more ready
TO take a chance when ii offers.
1T happened that Chatterer disCov-
cred Boxer. the runaway little Bear.
as he rested and planned what he
would do out in the Great World.
Chatterer kept quiet until he was
sure that Boxer was alone; that
Mother Bear and Woof-Woof were
nowhere near. When he was sure of
this. Chatterer guessed just what had
happened. He guessed that Boxer had
run away. You know Chatterer is one
of the Sharpest and shrcwdest of all
the little people in the Green Forest.
Chatterer grinned. L believe said
he to himself, that that silly little
Bear has run away and is lost IL
he isn't lost he ought to be and I'll
See to it that he is. Yes. sir, III see
to it that he Is properly lost This is
my chance to get even for the fright
he and his sister gave me when they
chased ME up a tree
Chatterer once more looked every
where to make sure no one else was
about. Then he lightly jumped over
into the tree under which Boxer was
sitting. He took care to make no
sound He crept out on a limb direct
ly over Boxer and then he dropped Il
pine cone.
The pine cone hit Boxer right on
the erd of his nose and. because his
nose is rather tender. it hurt. 1t
made the tears come. Then. too. it
was so unexpected il startled Boxer
"Ouch," he cried as he sprang to one
side and looked up to see where that
cone had come from.
When he saw Chatterer erinning
down at him Boxer grew very angry.
That was the same fellow he so
nearly caught once in tree top. This
time he would catch him. Down came
another cone on Boxers head.
Cant catch me. Can't catch me-"
taunted Chatterer in the most pro-
eoking way.
Boxer growled and started up that
tree. Cant catch flea! Can't catch
me-" cried Chatterer gleefully. and
he looked down at Boxer and made
faces at him.
He waited until Boxer was half
way up that tree. then lightly ran out
TO the end Of a branch and leaped
across to a branch of the next tree.
From there he called Boxer all sorts
of names and made fun of him until
the little Bear was so angry he hardly
