KEEP.FIT

The most complex, finest piece of machinery in the world
can produce but mediocre results if it is not kept IN perfect
condition. That is a trite statement. We all know it. But how
many of us have applied the thought to the greatest piece OF
mechanism ever produced, the human body. Many first
class brains are only producing second-class results to-day be-
cause the body is not kept in good working order.
How about your bodyY Are you getting from it the
maximum Of its powerf
Keeping fit spells success and happiness. Are they
yours9
Keeping fit produces force, magnetism. Do you possess
them2
Keeping fit multiplies ones brain power. Is yours pro-
ducing satisfactory resultsf
Keeping fit increases ones efficiency and general ability.
Are you constantly becoming more efficientP
Health plus gives service plus. How shall we gain this
health plush
More than anything else it depends upon the food that we
consume-for there are all kinds of foods-physical, mental
and spiritual.
For your physical food be sure that you eat the kind,
quality combinations of food that make the best quality OF
blood. Take it slowly, with regularity and in moderation.
AS to your mental food, are your thoughts right Cheer
full and optimistic9 Don't let the poison of worry and fear
impair your physical digestion and cramp your mental out
look.
As to your spiritual food, are your feelings toward hui
manity just, generous and magnanimous? Don't let the demon
of envy, jealousy and egotism acidify your moral outlook.
Then dont forget to exercise; good, regular, physical e-
ercise supplemented by both mental and spiritual calesthenics
to properly digest and assimilate the various foods.
This should produce a perfectly functioning body and 1t
will if you will giveit a fair chance.
For maximum production keep fit.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
Some WEAVING Troubles
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED

While It is all very well TO say
that weaving is a simple thing 10 do.
if done right, il is also true that
sometimes mothers have a great deal
of trouble getting children to taxi
kindly to a bottle, especially when
they have been used to the breast
for many months.
Children may dislike the taste Of
the rubber nipple and viii refuse
the milk for this reason. In that
case il Is better to wean directly TO
a cup. being sure that the baby takes
all the milk he needs. which is more
difficult when a cup is used Van
with a bottle.
No attention need be paid TO signs
This seems an unnecessary thing TO
say, but there still persists the super
sition that weaving should be done
I'm the sign which Is both silly and
illogical, since a child's digestion has
nothing whatever to do with the
stars.
When a child refuses the bottle or
cup and screams for the breast there
is only one method that Will be sue
cessful, and that is to refuse all food
until he will take the new one. To
give in is to be compelled to go
through the thing again at some fu-
ture time and putting it off makes 1t
that much harder.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27:-Marry late
If you'd be happy. The youthful

She is Anna Chandler just turned

have seen this animated bit of bob
bed hair and fluff whirl out onto
the stage and into the jazziest of
ragtime probably will gasp as much
at one confession as the other.

mother is not one for any girl to
%covet," she told me.
mo girl ought to marry before

girl was born. She was IL when she
told me she was going to be married.
1 didn't want her to-I was afraid
she was just in love with love, as
so many of us are when we're young.
But she did-and now her baby is
three months old"
The worlds youngest grandmother
smiled ruefully.
IA woman is most attractive at

girl of IL can offer-plus experience.
II think men get heartily sick of
a girl who bleats and bleats without
saying anything.
"Men truly love the woman who
knows how 10 manage them.
These are among the reasons
why the girl who marries young
cannot % happy.
"She doesn't know what love Is.
She has no means CT knowing

agement Of the home, and when such
women are thrown upon their own
1t is quite natural that
they should turn to criminal ways to
keep themselves alive"
That statement may be applied
with equal truth to the men convicts,
for certainly a large percentage OF
men convicts are unskilled in any
useful trade.
In teaching boys to support them
selves, some allowance Is made for
natural ability and inclination. Not
all men are compelled to become
carpenters, or machinists, or clerks,
or lawyers, or doctors.
But women for ages have been ex-
pected to qualify as experts in the
domestic arts, whether they were
capable of it or not. With the en-
trance of women into wider fields of
activity, 1t has been proved repeat
eddy that a woman may rise to bril-
liant heights without knowing a dish
towel from a dust cloth.
Why not put some of those men

In most crimes the sleuths seek
for the oma in the case. The
pussyfoot experts have now discov-
cred a new reason for wrongdoing,
and, as usual, lay it at the kitchen
door of woman.
The woman in this case happens
to be the cook. "Most crimes are
the result of empty stomachs or i'm
properly cooked food" they declare.
So they set to work to teach the
women convicts the fundamentals of
domestic science.
There is probably much truth in
the statement that women find them
selves behind the bars because they
do not know how to cook" asserts
one self-constituted authority. 1T
is a fact that a large percentage OF
women convicts are entirely untrain-

WASHINGTON = Shooting pic
lures instead of bullets, to insure a
lasting world peace, is the plan Of
Katherine A Giles, president of the
Brotherhood OF Man Foundation OF
Washington.
In this battle Of celluloid films
against cellulose powder Miss Giles
hopes to enlist the support OF the
mothers of all nations.
1T is their sons who fight. II Is
they who suffer. Why should they
not unite against war she de-
mands.
"War and preparation for war is
not the way to peace. They have
never brought peace and they have
never kept peace. What peace did
the last war bring? Only hates,
iealousies, passions to provoke new
wars!
wisdom brings brotherhood;
brotherhood brings understanding;
understanding brings love and toll
erance and love and tolerance bring
peace.
'This understanding of nan by
man. of the Jap by the American OF
the Russian by the Greek, Of every
people by every other people, can be
brought about in no other way so
effectuallv or directly as by the me-
dunn of the motion picture.

THE motion picture speaks a uni
versal language. Any eye can read,
any heart translate the message Of
the film. No other control so inti-
mate and direct can be established

press what is, after all, the great
fact of existence-the oneness, deep
in their hearts and purposes of
Gods people everywhere. whether
they be known as Christians, Bud
dhists, Mahometans or what not"
Miss Giles proposes a fund for, the
production of such picturesque
lures to preach the enc of man
kind, the futility of war and the
beauties Of peace-to be raised by
the mothers of the world through
the Brotherhood OF Man FoCnda-
ton, which has been incorporated
under the laws OF Delaware. Under
its charter the foundation would be
empowered to produce and dis
tribute pictures.
A nrst monumental picture en-
titled Reality" in which the author

mentals that move universal hopes
