Figures Of Speech
"Mezentian Cruelty"

The name of Mezentius, king Of the
Etruscans. has come down to US
through the ages, By the medium Of
mythology, as that Of a monster Of
inhuman cruelty. He is mentioned
sometimes by writer's who are fond Of
classical references. In Yirgil's
"Aenead" there is a description of
Mezentius which reads:
1.-The Etruscsns hold the country
beyond the river: Mezentius was their
was their king, a monster Of cruelty,
who invented unheard-of torments 20
crafty vengeance. He would fasten
the dead TO the living, hand 10 hand
and face b face, and leave the
wretched victims to die in that dread
full embrace. At length people cast
him out, him and his house. They
burned his palace and slew his
friends"
The story tells how Mezentius fed
to Turnus, king Of the Rutuli. When
Aeneas arrived be fought with Mezen-
thus, and put him to death.

As a matter Of fact he isn't any

work is very similar to that of the

One of the most widely known Of

as a clerk in a mercantile house, and
then a number Of years as teller in the

Heat and Light
By Garrett p. Serviss.

Il would like TO ask a question: II
light and heat are electrons and can
not be destroyed, what becomes of heat
radiated back in space from the earth,
since it cannot be heat after it reaches
the limits of the air? ]. E. NJ"
Heat and light are due to radiant
energy transmitted through the sup
posed universal medium called the
ether. This radiant energy appears in
the form Of minute waves in the ether,
which vary greatly in wavelength.
Ether waves whose length lies between
$4,000 and 10000 of an inch pro-
duce the effect called light; those
which lie between about $4,000 and
1900 Of an inch produce the effect
called heat. But even the so-called
light waves produce some heat in
bodies that absorb them. The effect
of the radiant energy upon the optic
nerve is night; the vibration that it
causes upon the molecules of any sub
stance that absorbs it is heat"
The radiant heat which the earth
sends back into space is transmitted
through the surrounding ether in its
original form Of waves, and what
eventually becomes of it we do not
know. However, where it encounters
a physical substance it must reappear
in the form Of heat. Thus the moon
derives a certain small amount of heat
from the radiation sent out into space
by the earth. And conversely we get
a little heat from the moon.

Bearing the Blame

|"HE head of government must, on the whole be
responsible for his subordinates. We shall
never know whether if President Harding had
lived, the people would have held him responsible for
Forbes, Fall and Daugherty but in ordinary times the
rule holds.
Stanley Baldwin, British Prime Minister is extraor-
dinariy satisfactory to the intelligent opinion of Great
Britain, Liberal and Labor we'll as Tory But he has
some NUTS in his Cabinet and the only successful at
tacks being launched against him grow out of the I'M
fitness of some of his subordinates.
The British still like liberty and justice at least in
their own country, since the war, although they
have been thrown overheard in many other countries
There is genuine disgust with incident that shows
how violence is allowed to reactonay extremists that
would never be allowed to extremists at the other end
-Four young men wearing Fascist uniforms seized
truck carrying the London Communist newspaper, the
Daily Herald, and upset it. They arrested and
tried for larceny. Something happened behind the
scenes and the charge withdrawn, drawing COM
nient from the judge
All over England it is being observed that the
charge would not have been withdrawn if similar act
Of vandalism had been committed by Communists.

With the proper cooperation by the public the holiday

strain upon the postal employees There is
why the postal business should be greater the day before
Christmas than it is today.
The mail early" campaign sponsored the last

So interviewer are the interests of men that the
mail early campaign has benefited not only the mail
carriers and postal clerks but also the hundreds of thou
sands of men and women behind store counters. To
mail early must shop early.
Christmas is only week from today. Many
have completed their Christmas shopping and many
have their packages marked 'Not to be opened until
Christmas in the mails, and there many who have
done part of their Christmas shopping and mailing. On
the other hand there not few who will postpone

Life's Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

To write about vacations doing good,
as il one suggested they may not,
seems superfluous and a waste Of time
perhaps.
But consider for a moment.
Did your last vacation do you good
Did you, like thousands of others,
return from your holiday more ia
tigucd and discouraged with life than
ever?
If you did, you didn't relax.
And if you were unable to relax,
your vacation may actually have done
you more harm than good!
When you quit work and take your
well-earned trip you're supposed to re-
turn Refrigerated, full of energy and
pep to go on.
You should do something different
than what you have been used to.
Then you are made to think diff.
ferent.
Then you are made to feel different.
But year after year people seek,
not rest, but further excitement, and
they salve their conscience by labelling
it pleasure.
Just as if the mad pursuit of pleas
ure were not hard labor in disguise.
Just as il the nervous system were
more resistiye to excessive pleasure
than to any other sustained laborious
work.
The thing you succeed By is nerve
energy.
Nerve energy activates all your mus
cles, all your organs, all your tissues.
1t is nerve energy you draw on, day
after day.
And it is nerve energy you draw on
when vacation time arrives.
You must, therefore, replenish your
nerve energy during your holiday.
When you dance half the night, play
games until you're exhausted, or other
wise overdo, you are abusing your
nerves and wasting your energy.
You are tearing down, and deliber-
stely, in a short time, what your reg
ular work took months to accomplish.
When you take your vacation you're
at least for once your own boss.
Then why not get the most out
of it?
And, by the way, summer is not
necessarily the only time for vacations.
You can revitalize yourself just as
well in winter.
The best vacation system " TO take
part in the summer and part in the
winter. IL helps to break monotony
and you don't get worn out SO easily.

FEEDING BABY, PROPERLY,
OVAL s. COPELAND M. D.
by NO AL ,. NOT ELAND, W. ~
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health. New York City.

The ideal thing is to have the baby
fed from the breast. Nature has pre-
pared exactly the food the infant
needs. Unfortunately, there are condi-
tons which make breast feeding i'm
possible. Then there must be prepared
for the baby q desirable substitute.
The elements essential for the high
est welfare of the child are water.
protein, sugar, fats and the minerals.
These are tangible and measurable
things. In addition, the food must con-
tain that intangible and mysterious
thing we call the vitamine. Without
it there can be no growth, no health.
Cows milk. the common substitute
for mothers milk, is not constituted
for easy digestion by the baby. 1t must
be modified" to suit the digestive
powers of the infant.
From time to time shall go into
detail about milk modification. Today
it is my purpose to point out the ne
cessity for proper mixture and a
proper combination. If your baby is
not doing well, If the skin is rough
and pimply, il the face is pinched and
the bowel movements disturbed, If
there is vomiting or spells of unex
planned crying-in short, If the child
is not the sweet smelling, velvet
skinned, happy, sleepy baby you wish
it to be, the chances are the feeding
is wrong. With proper feeding life fer
a baby is one sweet song.

There arc few pleasant tasks in this
life quite so important and quite SO
difficult as the feeding of baby.
You see it isn't a question merely
of satisfying an appetite. If that were
all you might use sawdust or a mix
ture of clay and water.
To feed a baby properly there must
be just the right amount Of precisely
the right food. That is true Of adult
feeding, too, isn't it? But in the case
of the baby it is far more important
to feed it exactly right, because it is
so delicate that even n few days OF
wrong feeding will result in evil and
serious consequences.
A tiny baby has not the reserve the
grown-up possesses. Its tissues are
more responsive to what it is fed. The
infant thrives if properly fed. 1t quick
ly fades if improperly fed.
The three essential things in select
ing food for an infant are as follows :
1t must be digestible. This is self
evident.
1t must supply the elements neces-
sary to nourish end to produce
growth.
1t must be given in proper quantity.
If any of these requirements is dis
regarded there is sure to be trouble.
1t may be a food exactly right in its
mixture of ingredients. 1t may be
easily digested. But unless enough of
it is given the child will slowly starve.
If too much is given at every feeding,
there will be distress and illness.

a chauffeur who had been in your en-

lavished upon the chauffeur instead
of upon their father, and their father
seemed not to see what was going on
about him and that his presence was
in no way essential to the happiness
of his children, and you had spoken

To those who read character by out
ward appearances we call attention
to the Importance of the way a man
holds up his trousers.
As a little boy, blithely impervious
to appearances, he wends his carefree
way, his decorum precariously pre-
served by more or less effective sus-
penders.
AS a young man, succumbing to the
dictates of fashion ard the desire for
feminine approval, he bisects himself
with a belt.
Then later in life comes that critical
period-the suspendsr age.
The follies of youth and the foibles
of early manhood. in various degrees,
have been left behind. He begins to
settle down. He dons suspenders.
Suspenders are the symbol of estab-
lshment.
A mans habits, ideas and ambitions
are pretty well established when he
attains the suspenders age. He has
ceased to put on" and is more frank
in admitting that "he is what he is"

twenties is the period when most of
the moral habits become solicited.

a general way, made up their minds
and established their habits on most
most moral issues.
The time from the early twenties to
the early thirties is the period when
the professional manners and habits
are ingrained.
The lines begin to harden. Those in
business begin to acquire a business
like air. Those who have entered the
ministry begin to become ministerial.
The young professors begin to exhibit
the manners of the classroom.
The characteristics Of the life work
the man takes up begin to become part
of his nature during this second
period.
At the end of the second period
comes the suspendcr age.
The day a man settles down to a life
of galluses is the time to estimate his
character.
Youth is a gamble. 1t may do any
thing. 1t upsets the dope continually.
But with the coming of the suspen-
ders age a fairly accurate understand
ing of the mans real character and
prediction of his future can be made.
