LISTEN TO TROUBLE

From one of my correspondents I had a real pathetic
letter asking me for advice. This was her trouble. In case
yours may be the same let me answer her through this col
umn as well as personally.
She had just a week before been assigned to a new and
more responsible position. At first she was delighted, so happy
and full of enthusiasm and plans for her new work. Then that
kll[Joy, the proverbial w~et-blanket, in the form Of an envious,
jealous, small-souled coworker came along and took all the
joy out of life for my little friend. She told her how the girl
who had held the position before she was assigned to ii, was
completely broken down in health because of the nerye-rack-
ing work she had to do. Not only was the work itself so hard,
but the head of that department was impossible to get along
with. She terrified and wore to a wreck all the girls who had
worked for her. Besides that, if she could stand the strain,
it was an unfortunate position to hold for it always proved
a deadlock. Once one got there ones days of promotion were
over.
BY the time my little friend had listened to all this tale
of woe the inspiration and joy was taken out of her new work.
Foolish girl of course to be SO affected by this "Gertie Gloom
But she was young and didn't realize that in this world there
are many people who derive great happiness from taking the
joy out of life for others; especially if those others are sue
cessful and mounting the ladder, business or social, faster
than they are.
The one bit of advice to my little friend, and all others
in a like position is, don't listen to tales of trouble. Say
firmly but politely that you would rather not hear of the ex-
perienees of your predecessor, that you intend to do your work
to the best of your ability, and then not worry about the re-
suits and the future.

American sheik Claims His Own

AIlCIlCdH SlAClA 1913
More sad news for wives.
Two women who have crossed the
Arabian desert say that the best
looking sheiks in the world are the
ones who sit at American breakfast
tables, and there's no for Jeal-
ousy whatever.
That removes another dangerous
competitor from the pathway OF the
American male.
For some time back he has felt
his throne lettering. He didn't care
for the side-whiskered bell-bottom-
ed youth publicly adored as a prize
palpitator of feminine hearts.
1t gave him something of a qualm
to compare his OWL unruly n
sparse locks with the sleek black
head of the male charmer on the
stage or screen.
He secretly looked over the Adon-
is-like features in the who's Who
i'm the Neighborhood Movie Houses
then examined his own photograph
in his firms house organ, I'VE have
with us today Mr., John William
Jones. who pulled off the record
breaking sales for April" There was
a sinking feeling in his heart as he
realized hat he was not of the ro-
mantle stuff of which shieks are
made.
But now the sun is shining nce
more on the American breakfast
porch. The two travellers from the
East have lifted that load of gloom
in exposing the sheiks for the UNI
washed, unhandsome sons of the
desert that they are. No more may
wives court domestic disaster by
threatening to elope with a sheik.
That weapon is gone. The great
American "sheik" who brings in the
milk bottle and the morning paper
is supreme.
They'll probably import a plump,
blubber-fed Eskimo to be the prime
lady-killer in next falls releases,

adays a baby is left at night as long
as six or seven hours If he is Sleep
ing.
Young Master Laseelles is not a
bottle baby. His mother is raising
him like any other youngster, and
she hasn't a bit of patience with
grandfatherly notions.
Queen Mary, meanwhile, is a most
docile grandma. She doesn't share
the kings anxieties at all, but sides
with her daughter in the row over
the baby's feeding time.
So it's two TO one against the king,
and the upshot is that Princess Mary
is bossing George Henry Hubert's
nursery. She has a nurse to wait on
the baby, and a nurserymaid to wait
on the nurse.
She herself picked out the furni-
ture for the nursery. The articles
are plain and simple, painted in gay
tints and decorated with bright col
ored designs. She has decreed that
unnecessary luxury and tiresome
ceremonials be dispensed with. Royal
pomp is under the ban.
b. her order he is called Master
Laseelles'"-not His Highness."
And she feeds him when she pleases

vied:
II tell you. Mary, that poor child
isn't getting enough to eat! You

No, I simply won't wake him up in
the middle of the night to feed him.

That's the row. Mother and grand
pa can't agree on meal times for
Baby George Henry Hubert La

The conversation given here isn't
absolutely verbatim. But they've
said approximately that, gossip has
it.
The king thinks a baby ought to
be fed regularly every three hours,
awake or asleep. His own children
were, he argues. and he'd like to
know why his grandson shouldn't be
fed every three hours.
Modern nursery custom laughs at
that, Princess Mary points out-now-

YOUR BABY AND MINE
why We Battle the Baby Every Day
By MYRTLE MEYER ELpRKD

why We Battle the Baby Every Day
Some mothers cannot imagine why
IL should be necessary to battle the
tiny baby every day, whose skin
never has a chance to become dirty.
They feel that this is unnecessary
tax on the child and some even go to
the lengths of saying hal too many
baths are weakening"
The skin is one of the principal
means of excreting the wastes from
the body. In this respect 1t is right
along in a line with the kidneys, the
liver, the lungs and the bowels. we
can easily see how dangerous 1t Is
to clog any of these organs n we
~should consider the skin as we do
these.
When the skin is not actively
throwing off the wastes of the body
these wastes must be excreted
through some other source and thus
we have an undue strain put upon
the other organs of elimination.
The skin, also, is the regulator OF
the body temperature. When 1t Is
very hot the blood vessels of the skin
enlarge, allow a greater amount OF
blood near the surface and then ais
charge sweat from the sweat glands
to moisten the skin area n cool II
by evaporation. When it is cold, the
tblood vessels contract and keep the
blood from circulating too freely
near the surface and thus chill the
individual. Keeping the body clean
and the skin active is a stimulant to
the easy changes of these blood yes
sells and making it easier for us to
react BEAUTIFULLY to the natural
changes of the temperature.
Hot baths are sedative in erect.
When the baby insists on turning
night into day, 1t is a splendid idea
to give him his warm bath at night
instead of in the morning.

then give him a quick rub down. If
