"More?" The Prince looked at
her in establishment, but Alicia
hastened to add that what she
wanted was some advice.
War had upset their modes Of
life with amazing rapidity. So

fortunes that seemed most solid
were crumbling.
Things will change, surely?
It's impossible for this to last"

TO ATTAIN A

" HE ordinary worries and

Longevity may be said to de-

control, the moral sense and good
nature-in other words. upon ones

Work does not shorten life,

rest to restore tissue waste.

body.
The habit of holding the head
and trunk erect should be cult

organs and blood vessels.
Congenial employment should
be continued to old age, thus
keeping the mind alert. II work

used to say. that 1t is better to
wear out than to rust out.
Take from fifty to sixty hours
Of undisturbed sleep weekly, pre-

Proper attention must be given
to the four great eliminative or

not begin this training in ap-
probation Of a well-groomed per.
sonal appearance in the home?
Why not make II a,point that
each member Of the family shall
come to the table looking, his or
her best?
The mother Of six husky
youngsters told me that so badly
was she handicapped by her lack
Of personal appearance when she
entered the business world, that
she decided her children must
never suffer in a similar manner.
And SO she made 1t q rule that
at the one meal a day when all
ate together, she would signal
the children half an hour before
mealtime SO that they might have
plenty Of time to prepare.
And they were just ordinary
children, who did not like clean
ing up when It meant taking
them from their play half an
hour before other kiddies whose
mothers just did not care and let
them come to the table with
soiled hands and disheveled hair.
And 1t took some time to get
them into the habit.
But each child washed face,
neck, hands as the mother took
the time to teach them. The
older helped the younger. They
brushed their teeth and combed
and brushed their hair. Shoes
were brushed. Clothing, II fairly
presentable, was smoothed into
place.
Mother always looked trim at
table.
Mother wore a hairnet to keep
stray locks in place. She had a
loose-fitting cover-all apron (pur.
chasable for a small sum at any
Of the good shopS, which she
wore while preparing the meal.
But when 1t came time to sit
down and eat with the family,
she slipped off the cover-all, and
there she was-all pretty and
dainty in a well.fitted dress.
No matter how poor the family.
nor how humble the home or the
fare, every mother should make
an effort to give her children the
very valuable training of paying
attention to personal appearance.
There is no better time, perhaps,
to let the kiddies practice than
that time at which all assemble
at tile family board.

TTERE is a bright eyed four
year old who told q
Ax stranger that his mother
was seventy six-missing the
guess by about half a century
one, and that he himself was
thirty-nine.
This same young irresponsible
was sent to the grocery to bring
some crackers, but he returned
later with a nickel's worth of
gum to show the net results Of
his attempt to invest a quarter
In something to eat.
The young mother was found
to be in considerable despair
over the supposed dangerous
manifestations Of her little boy.
Was the child a natural born
har?" Was there a deep inherent
tendency, somewhere back in his
fathers family, for example, to-
ward gross prevarication? And
was there also a base streak of
uptrustworthiness in the same
parental blood?
< So the shock Of the young, un.
Informed mother is likely to be
peinful when. perhaps, she dis
covers that her little one "just
naturally cannot tell the truth"
However, the worry is all un-
necessary. The behavior Of this
child is like that Of the great
masses everywhere, and these
transitory ills will respond to q
small amount of corrective train
ing.
For the time being the child
does not know how to reckon
ones age, he has no sense of
large numerical values, while "76"
and "51" are to him merely an

grocer's-the forgotten crackers.
They were literally none of his

that he got back with the chew
ing gum with not a flaw in the
operation Of buying 1t and pay
Ing cash, and that was some Of
his business.
Be thankful that your child
makes blunders at every turn Of
his life. Regard that as normal,
as necessary. and as being the
interesting starting point Of an
other step in his education. Be
merry about the natural blunders
OF your child, but do not sit con-
tent and let them go on as they
are or become fixed habits Of

Wear Something Red Is Warning Sent to Local Deer Hunters

Wear something red, That is the dens throughout the state to sports men who are going out after the fleet footed deer tomorrow. The reason for this is to protect the nimrods from being taken for a deer going through a little too anxious and pulishrdetao the brush. Sometimes hunters get a little too anxious and pull up and fire before they get glimpse of the white in the eyes of a big buck.
 Several other warnings have also been issued by State Game Warden Joe V. Prochaska, to the effect, that the killing of female deer, the rush ing of seasons, that is killing quail, duck, geese. deer and all protected game before their respective opn sea- sons will not be tolerated. Many peo- pie also fail to realize that the Pata- gOnia mountains, the Canilles and Hua chuca mountains are game preserves, and that no hunting of any kind is allowed on them further that no one is even allowed to carry hunting arms o nthem without a special permit to residents thereon fos self protection. So such as are ignorant of these and other game laws, especially the hunt ing without license, should acquaint themselves, and assist in trying to bet ter conditions in this phase of life's pleasure so cherished by every red blooded American.

STILLMAN SUIT
Continued from Page one)

Mir. Gleason ruled that MT. Stillman had not proved his allegations that Mrs. Stillman had violated her mar riage vows in her conduct with Fred Beauvais, half breed Indian guide, for merly employed by the Stillmans at their summer camp in Canada. He also found Guy Stillman to be the legitimate son of MT. and Mrs. Still man. The banker, in impugning the legitimacy of little Guy, born in No vember, 1918, had charged that Beau vais was the boys father.
 As result of today's victory, Guy Stillman retains his right to share with his two older brothers and his sister in the $6,0O0,0OO trust fund es- tablished for them by their grand father, the late James Stillman, and in a $27,000,000 fund to be distributed when James A. Stillman dies. The referee not only found Guy Stillman not to be the son of Beauvais but said he did not discover either sufficient or substantial proof on which to base any finding of adultery on the part of Mrs. Stillman.
