portant things on earth, then you have called down certain misery on your head. You have made god of your self, and you feel that, like god, you should be exempt from the ordinary human lot. And when you find that you are not, and that you have to know sickness and sorrow, and the death of your beloved, and disappointment, and failure, it wrecks you. You lack the courage and philosophy to stand them. And when the dark hour comes to the selfish, self-centered person, he or she has nowhere to go, no one to turn to, for no one loves an egotist. You often hear old people complain of their loneliness. They are paying the pen alty for just such a life as you are planning. They thought of themselves first, last and all the time in their youth, and now nobody thinks of them. It is Kismet.
 Did you ever krfow a greedy person who was satisfied? Never. The more he or she gets the more he or she wants. And often after such people have grabbed, and robbed, and footed, until they have piled up mountains of material things-when they wallow,

piglike, in their palaces and Emousines, amidst heaps of gold and jewels, they break their hearts for the intangible. things their grsaping hands cannot bring them.
 Real love, friendship, companion- ship, the faithful, loyal devotion of a husband or wife-sons and daughters who are growing up to be an honor to them-you never knew a selfish man or woman who had these. And with out these everything else is worthless. And did you ever notice that the things the selfish grab for themselves, turn to dead sea fruit in their grasp? I have known many women who have taken other women's husbands away from them. They said they had a right to their own happiness and to the men they loved. But I have never known any woman to build a house of happi- ness that endured on the wreck of a sister womans home.
 T have known many selfish hus- bands and wives. I have known tyran- nical husbands who browbeat timid, little women; husbands who took the best of everything for themselves; hus- bands whose wives and children shud- dered with dread when they heard their key in the front door at night; have known selfish wives, who worked their husbands to death to pay their bills !; wives who were lazy loafers, who never lifted hand to make their husbands comfortable; wives who sacrificed their husbands to their nerves and tempers. But I never knew selfish husband or wife who was happy, or who had a happy home.
 For the selfish wish to have love in addition to everything else, and love they know they cannot have. And so, my dear," said, you will find that selfishness doesn't pay even | in material way. If you try to grab everything in sight, the world will fight you to a finish to keep you from get ting it. But if you are modest mad put others before yourself and ask no more than your fair share, the world hands you your hearts desires on a silver salver."

FAMOUS WOMEN
ANNA

ANNA
 Anna was Jewish prophecies, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She married at an early age and was left widow after seven years. After her husbands death she devoted herself to the service of God, and while thus engaged, found the Virgin Mary with her Son in the temple. She joined the venerable Simeon in thanking God for Him, bear ing testimony to Him as the promised Messiah. Thus, 1t will be seen, the ad- vent of Christ was made known, spiritually, to woman as well as to a man, but the characteristic piety of the woman is shown to excel. Simeon dwelt in Jerusalem" (prob- ably engaged in some secular pursuit. but Anna, departed not from the temple, but served God with prayer and fasting night and day.

Large Perceutage Lscal
Sehssl uiarea Under Weight

Recent physical examinations
conducted by the public school
nurse in Monte Vista schools show
that only little over sixteen per
cent OF children up to and includ-
ing the Junior High School are nor
NAL or above in weight. Practical
ly S5 per cent are under normal
weight.
The school examinations show
438 children weighed and measur-
ed, up and through Junior High
School. 366 below normal. and ~
over normal.
Out OF 23s children, 100 are over
10 per cent underweight or little
less than half Of the children.
Miss Edna Avery. our school
nurse, has compiled the above sta
tistics to prove to our community
that the main. problem with our
children is nutrition. Most OF our
children are undernourished not be.
cause OF lack Of money. but because
of improper food and care.
To help solve this problem milk
is being served in the schools at 3
cents a glass. and graham crackers
at for a cent. or children are
bringing It from their homes to
drink twice a day at recess. 1t has
been proven that child drinking
milk and eating graham crackers
In school will gain three times as
fast as the child who is not.
Another big problem is the noon
day lunch. Children come in from
the country with little or no break
fast and have nothing hot to eat
until evening. and often with only
a sandwich and a piece OF pie or
cake. There are also the town chill
dren who need some place to eat at
noon when their parents are not at
home.
For this reason Miss Avery is
trying to start hot lunch in school
which will be served at cost price
