DO YOU PLAY TENNIS?


 This is the sort of weather that should entice you outdoors to play tennis. You should take advantage of every hour of sunlight and warm, hea1th-giving ain to make yourself stronger and better and more beauti- full, and to store up energy and good looks against the Winter months in- doors.
 advocate tennis particularly be- cause 1t has more advantages than most other outdoor games. It keeps the figure youthful, it will give you a slender waist, a straight back, per fectly shaped arms and we'll set shou1- ders These are its particular au- vantages.
 It will also improve the chest be- cause it will make you breathe deep ly, and 1t will improve the shape of the legs and hips because it makes you run about. It will improve di- gestion and complexion, as any good exercise will. and it will give you, which is one of it's special advantages a quick eye and a sure hand.
 It has another advantage which is sometimes overlooked. Whereas golf reuires acres of ground and costly up keep, tennis takes only a small amount of space and requires a sim pie court that anyone can lay out. Any vacant city lot has space for one or more courts, and any amateur can level and mark them out. The equip ment of net, rackets and balls is not at all costly. '----
 Why not form a tennis club if you wish to improve your health and looks

| A great Humanitarian movement

 the effect that a ban has been placed
 on all speeches more than three minutes in 1ength-and this applies to banquet speeches and luncheon speeches aSs we'll as remarks in gen
 eral meeting. If the speaker really
 has something important to say he may apply to the board of directors and may be granted ten minutes. but no more.

Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest orators | In the world, occupied a trif1e over l two minutes with the Gettysburg ad- dress The Ten Commandments can be spoken in one minute and half | and the Lords Prayer occupies less than a minute.
 That some loose-awed windbag should get up and talk about noth- ing for two hours and a half at business luncheon is inefficiency rampant He wastes not only his own time but that of a. lot of busy men. When the average professional talker gets up to speak he thinks ne d no terminal facilities required. The other day we listened to an expert at a luncheon for an hour and a half and then we didn't know what he had talked about He didn't say. Canada is doing a good deal for us these days, and the best we have been able to do in return has been to send them the Stillulan case. Let us hope the Quebec idea takes root on tn1s side or the border.

 Can you wonder that so many Of the Balkan babies die when they are bound down like that and have the heavy blankets over their heads? But doctor has great hopes for the Balkan peoples now that they are going to be able to develop, for she says they are very intelligent. She says, of course, the newer ideas of living will have to be brought about mostly with the younger generation, for the older people, like the older people of all
 nations, do not take to new ideas so readily.
 She told of once visiting a family and finding the cradle enlarged and

 Gee. I'm sure glad am not bound down, and my clothes are loose and comfortable so that. I can move my arms and legs easily. And besides that, every afternoon about 5 o'clock, when I am changed to my night clothes, all of my clothes are taken off and I kick and stretch and wave my arms about at a great rate.

MRS. CAMERON PURSUES THE
 MARRIAGE QUESTION

Between them, that same evening, the two families managed to extract a solemn promise from the weeping Della, that not under any circum- stances was she to reveal a word Of what had passed between her and the escaped chauffeur. And she, be- ing far too cut up to even think of reminding herself of the unfortunate occurrence, readily consented.

 The doctor was telling my family | more about the Albanian babies today and 1t made me awfully glad that I | came to my American mama and papa | instead of to an Alba nian mama and papa.
 So many or them suffer from the binding in their tiny cradles or, rath- CT, on the cradles. For the cradles are short, shallow, wooden affairs and the mamas put in big pillow stuffed with straw and the pillow extends out over the cradles and then the babies are bound on that Isn't it terrible!
 The mountain and village tribes strap their babies. cradles and all, on their backs and they will walk along distances to the market centers With their babies in this manner. Or course when they do that way, they have to bind the babies on very tight ly so they will not fall off Some of the mamas who used to come to the
 
 eight to ten hours and even longer in this manner to get to them.
 At the head end of the cradle is a hoop of wood. Over that and the baby they put a heavy blanket. It is the custom Throughout the Balkans, doctor says, to bind babies in this manner, and many times they are not taken up even to nurse. The mama suuats down on the floor and tips the cradle with the poor little baby in It, over to her and nurses it in that man. ner.
 Once when the doctor was giving her daily talk to the mamaS at the baby station, she told them about how the binding was making the babies fiat headed and have deform- ed chests and how they must suffer, and how they got no exercise. and so on, And she took a stiff little bundle of a baby and told the mamas to watch and see what the baby did when she unbound it.
 She got the binding off of his chest and arms. First one little arm went ,1n and stetched itself way over his head and then the other, and 1t vawned a big yawn filling it's released 1unes with some fresh air-lt was too cunning for words the way it showed it's relief The mamas all laughed.

Advice To The
 LOvelOrn
Ills Asks for a Chance.
By Beatrice Fairfax.

Ills Asks for a Chance. Dear Miss Fairfax: Through a 'business acquaintance two years ago. I met a gentleman whom I grew to love and who also says he loves me. He called to see me three and four nights week for year, and all of 8 sudden he stopped calling and I didn't hear from him for ten months
 In the meantime, a friend of mine heard that he had a friend in busi- ness and was drinking. He is now calling on me and promises if I will give him a chance he will never take a drop again.
 My mother says he will not stop and wants me to give him up. Ina t is the only complaint we have against him.
 Shall I give him a chance? He Is 28 and am 21. A. J.
 Why not give him a chance? With the encoura cement of your friendship and interest, the man may find it no great struggle to give up drink. But there is no reason for an engagement and there is. in fact. everything against pledging yourself to him until he has earned the right to ask you to share his life This he should not do until he has conquered his vice and proves his strength.
