A CRY FOR CAPTAINS

WI HAT are you doing to improve
w your mind, to sharpen your
vision and so equip yourself
that you may press onward and take
your place among the leaders?
The whole world keeps calling for
men and women who are qualified by
patience. alertness and ability, to ac-
cept responsibilities where rewards are
large and opportunities are unlimited.
Everywhere the cry goes up for
more captains
The ranks of privates are filled to
repletion with grumblers, who pinch
their envelope on pay day and scowl
enviously and Indignantly upon those
energetic souls who, with seemingly
small effort, earn as much in week
as the grumblers earn In a month
These privates are becalmed in the
sea Of life with burning hearts. They
lack stamina and resolution. In nine
cases out of ten they have no one 10
blame for their lowly estate but them
selves.
They waste their leisure hours and
holidays in frivolous amusements in
stead of giving sober thought to the
future.
Everything that tends to their eleva-
ton and betterment is studiously
stunned. Their aspirations. if they
have any, are smothered at birth.
In moments of depression, when a
steady, trustworthy, clear visioned
worker at their elbow is promoted,
their lamp of hope flares out and leaves
them in utter darkness.
The years roll ON, but the light never
brightens, and they march in darkness
down the hills TO the valley of despair.
AS for this innumerable army of
''ne'er do wells" it is palpably absurd
TO offer them advice.
Perhaps. in the evolution of things,
they are intended as warning signals

cHiLDREN'S LUNcHEONS

TT HE luncheon problem affects a
large per cent of the American
homes. The mother wishes to
furnish 10 her child a large amount
of nourishment with the least tax upon
the digestive system. as study comes
SO soon after the luncheon is eaten
For the little kindergarten child the
ten o'clock lunch should be very light,
usually composed of fruit. A sandwich
with date and apple filing or banana
and chopped nut meats is delicious.
A bunch of grapes with a sandwich,
fig and walnuts chopped as sandwich
filling. and q pear or apple. these are
all good and suggestive of other good
combinations.
BY using sweet sandwiches with
fruit or sweet dried fruits the child
will not have such a craving for sweets.
A little candy is good properly eaten
at the proper time. but in the lunch
baskets, usually that goes first. and
the appetite is spoiled for more sub
stantial foods.
Cookies and gingerbread may take
the place OF sweet fruits.
A sandwich filling generally liked by
children is chopped peanuts with
mayOnnaise: this is satisfying and will
give the child a desire for reasonable
amount OF water.
For the older children a more sub
stantial and greater variety of foods
* demanded.

Ing lad is baking powder biscuit cut in
three slices and put together with any

THE HAND OF A DOCTOR

THE hand of a successful physician,
or one who may become a sue
cessful physician, should be
supple and smooth. The following are
some of the traits of a good doctor.
as indicated in the hands:
Tact, shown by a thumb that is
well "waisted," that is, indented or
marked at the joint.
Kindness, shown by Mount Of We
nus, or ball of the thumb. which is
moderate in size.
Self-confidence, the Line OF Life and
the Line OF the Head well apart.
TrustwOrthiness, Line Of the Heart
that is forked at the beginning.
Popularity is indicated by Line Of
Fate which rises on the Mount OF
Luna Cat the side of the hand) and
runs into the Mount of Saturn. at
the base Of the second finger. This
shows unusual popularity, but also de-
pendence on public caprice for sue
cess.

Grinder Uses Any current.

The use of an aluminium alloy hous-
ing and patented pistol grip and
trigger switch makes this portable
grinder easy to handle and gives the
operator perfect control. While it is
essentially a portable machine de
signed TO operate on either direct or
alternating current, an attachment
sent with the machine enables it to
be converted into a bench-grinder in
thirty seconds. This one machine will
handle every grinding, cleaning, buff
ing or polishing job around the garage
or shop.-Popular Science Monthly.

CONGRESS- FOR HARDING PLAN
President VIII Be Given Power He
Desires, Saws d. w. MuIvane.

Congress will give President Hard =
ing the power he desires for the han
ding of strike difficulties, according
to d. w. Mulvane, Republican national
committeeman, who returned to To-
peka today from Washington. The
new strike legislation will be a sort
of big stick in the hands of the pres
ident in event an emergency arises
which justifies drastic government ac-
ton.
Mulvane, who has been in Washing
ton during the last several weeks as
temporary assistant secretary of COM
merce, has been in intimate touch with
strike conditions in the nation. As
assistant to, Secretary Herbert Hoover
he has helped handle the governments s
program in the coal and rail strikes.
TT is pretty certain that congress
will pass the legislation asked by
President Harding and will take early
action to give him the authority de-
sired" said Mulvane. THE enact
ments are not alone for meeting the
present situation, but will give the
government ample authority to pro-
crisis. President Harding's message
was enthusia stically received and
there is every evidence that congress
is earnestly behind him in carrying
out his program"
The Kansas national committeeman
came to Topeka today to attend Tues
days Republican party council He
conferred this afternoon with w. Y
Morgan. Republican governorship
nominee. and will work with Morgan
and the state and congressional candi-
dates in carrying out their council and
campaign plans.
