CHOOSING

Choosing might be called one of the fine arts of life.
Indeed 1 think it truly is, for does not what we choose in life
constitute what we really are?
Every one of us every day and many times a day are
making choices, coming to decisions. Whether they be large
or small each one of them has an effect on our lives. Tomor-
row it may be a new hat you have to decide upon every
woman knows how hard that isl. Relatively the purchase of
a new hat is unimportant, but after all does it not have its
effect upon our life? If we decide wisely We are pronounced
wen-dressed, and the stimulus of being well-dressed reacts
upon our personality.
Or perhaps you are about to enter the business world,
and you must decide what line of business you will adopt.
Before you come to any decision study well your q%ualifca-
ton asnd don't ignore your weaknesses. No one is more
certainly doomed for failure or more pathetic than the bust
ness misit.
Instead of the game of business it may be the game of
matrimony you are about to enter. Watch your step. Realize
the Importance of the decision. Your future happiness de-
ponds upon the wiseness of your choice.
In all matters of decision there a few good rules to
follow. Call it conscience or whatever you wish, but abide
always by the p%romptings of your better self. Don't be easily
influenced; don't be a moral weather vane. Have your own
ideas and opinions and make your choice accordigly.n "You
would not borrow your neighbours spectacles and expect to
see clearly through them" Don't be hasty in your decisions;
see and weigh both sides of a problem. Be just in your es-
Inmates. You would not judge a picture without giving it
a fair light. Do as much for a personality.
The happiness and success of tomorrow depends upon
the choices you make today. Choose wisely.

BROADCASTS
Roning Them In
BY LORA KELLY

The Fraternal order of Cowboys is
in the market for wives, SO wild and
Woolly Western dispatches say.
1t is our first inkling that they had
joined a labor union, so to speak,
and had given themselves a formal
name.
Our 1rst-hand knowledge of COW
boys is meager. Practically every
thing we know about them we have
picked up in the movies which have
been Endorsed by the press and the
clergy. Aside from that research,
we make nc claims to speaking with
authority.
Just the same, the cowboy has al
ways stood as a synonym for ro-
nance. Hasn't he come dashing
down the silver screen just at the
right time, not a second too soon
nor too late, to save the heroine
from some dreadful fate out there in
the open spaces?
Hasn't he always walked off with
the billion-dollar heiress, right in
the false teeth of the elderly COR
poration lawyer and the decreDit
foreign count who sought her lily
white hand that could neither tell
nor spin?
Cowboys, we know. are extremely
handy at discovering oil wells and
making said gushers produce coup-
try places in Long Island, with pri-
vate yachts in which to commute
to Palm Beach in the wintertime.
All this between round-ups.
We never knew a movie cowboy
yet that didn't turn out immensely
wealthy in time for the second show.
We know that because he wears
evening clothes in the final clinch
and fade-out when he kisses the
damsel of his dreams as a signal
for you to grab your coat and hat
quickly and let the standing multi
tudes rush down the aisle.
We also did like these desert
heroes. They have plenty Of sand in
their makeup.

times stopped in there after school
to get a sack of candy. Today
when they tramped home through
the snow, Jack said, Lets stop in

has a surprise for u.s.
So they stopped in. And the sur
prise wasn't candy, nor cake, nor
peanuts. What do you think it was?
The boys came out with big armfuls
of shining holly. "We'll take them
to the hospital for u play" sug-
gested Billy. And now let's go to
your house and get your costume
fixed up? Won't the girls be sur

YOUR BABY AND MINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Condensed Milk

Mrs. r. II. N. writes; Each day

articles on "Your Baby and Mine,
and derive so much benefit from
them. My baby is 4 months old and
as | cannot nurse him / feed him
condensed milk, but instead OF plain
water 1 use barley water and he does
not spit up as much as he did. He
weighs thirteen and one-half pounds.
He seems to be thriving but l am
worried because l have been told
That condensed milk does not make
hone, and makes flabby fat. Does
condensed milk contain the neccs-
sary ingredients for perfect devel-
orement? He is also very cross, and
after he awakens is very irritable
and scratches his face something
terrible. He seems to have a rash
Oh his cheeks. He has a cold In his
head which l take are of but it al
ways comes back. I am a lot Of

Is a lack of fat and an over proper

with plain water and with some

right food for growing babies when
they can't have breast milk.
