lodging youths who flourish all
about US today.
But suppose such a manor
a dozen such men take her
around. What is she going TO
gain? Perhaps a reputation for
popularity which some younger
girl will come along and take
away from her. Perhaps a hus-.
band who will turn to some new
stimuiant as soon as he is thor
oughly versed in all his wife's
tricks. Perhaps nothing but great
WEAKNESS and waning youth
wasted on hectic pleasures.
When a dozen butterfly men
are crowded around one girl, the
fine, worthwhile man gives up
In dispair and doesn't "hang
around" waiting for crumbs from
her cheaply set table. He feels
that the girl hasn't time for
any one as serious as he is. He
doesn't see what he would have
to offer a girl whose life am
bition seems to be rushing around
from one brittle pleasure to the
next. He may even feel that
such a girl isn't real enough to
mean anything to a man who has
a soul above the latest dance
steps.
popularity is an overrated
thing. 1t cannot take the place
of good reputation, worth while
friendships and honest love-
but 1t often crowds them out.

Bodily conditions have a great

meal, late at night, this will often
cause heaviness and insomnia;

fall asleep he will awaken tired

prevent sleep, and little warm

Boise, Idaho.-The effort to proven
building of anti-tuberculosis hospi
tails in Idaho has created something
of storm both inside and outside thu
legislature. Catherine r. Athey
Chairman of the anti-tuberculosi,
commission in charge of the building
of the proposed hospitals, has made
the following statement to the press
of the state:
"The action of the supreme court
in upholding the commission as
against its assailants is, Of course, a
source of great satisfaction to the
commission. Nevertheless, the pur-
poses of the politicians who were re-
sponsible for the filing Of the injunc-
ton suit have been served in that
court action has delayed the building
of the hospitals until the legislature
could meet so they could renew their
efforts of the last session to abolish
the hospitals.
"It is a disgrace to the people Of
Idaho If the purposes Of economy can
only be served by destroying this
great humanitarian project. That pol
iticians with money enough in their
pockets to properly care for the mem
bers of their own family, dare appeal
to abolish them in the name of econ
omy to the very people they are in
tended to serve-those Of small means
and give them equal opportunity
with their richer brothers for life,
happiness and economic efficiency,
can hardly be regarded as commend
able.
"The special fund created to build
these hospitals is lying unused-a
real temptation to the greedy Plans
have been completed and bids called
for on the construction Of the hospi-
tails. Both hospitals can be built
within the original appropriation. A
fund for maintenance only will be
asked from the legislature. AS against
this request is bill to abolish the Or
iginal fund and prevent building Of
the hospitals.
1.-THE commission has served with
out pay and has spent, in four years,
only $4,000 of the $4,000 allotted for
expenses"
