The Reform Complex.

A lot of well-meaning people IN THIS
world have complex for reforms and
telling other people how to regulate
their lives. They never realize how
cordially they are hated by a large
suffering public. Socrates went to his
death serene in his belief that he was
a victim of ignoramuses who did not
appreciate him or know that he re-
ally loved humanity. The fact is that
Socrates was superior sort OF per-
son and his contemporaries like peo-
pie today could not tolerate having a
superior-minded man around. So
crates should have kept his superiority
to himself and he would have lived to
be nagged to death by Zantippe, his
Virago wife.

Does the Drama IInOhIe?

1t is not a fact that people in small
towns evidence a lack of culture be-
cause they are not devotees of the
drama or other forms of theatrical en-
tertainment. City dwellers are used to
the theatre and make it necessary
part of their lives. Rural jewellers, not
having had opportunities along this
line, have learned to make their lives
interesting without entertainments of
a show nature. The most interesting
group of men the writer ever visited
with was a bunch of ranchmen in the
center of Oregon who had never seen
a good show in their lives. But they
knew a lot of other things worth
knowing and they were fearless, cap
able and independent thinkers. One
of the most common forms of hokum
in the world is the pert assumption
that sitting in theatre and watching
mimicry of various kinds makes a
person any happier, nobler or better.
The fact may be the reverse.

successes are made by people who
have a genius for minding their own

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Everyone Of the birch bark notes
have been heard FROM" said Will O.
the Wisp to the Twins. "And no
one seems to know thing about
the last lost button you are hunt
ing"
Juggle Jump, the fairyman, jun
gled the buttons in his pockets, the
eleven they had already found, and
said, well, ! think we shall have to
make these eleven buttons do. Time
is going and the Fairy Queen will
wonder where we are"
Elbow many buttons were there -
asked Will o. the Wisp.
"Twelve," said Nancy.
"Couldn't you sew up one button
hole" suggested Mr.. Will. /.
Juggle Jump considered. Would it
be possible to keep Puff's coat closed
with eleven pearl buttons if he took
violent sneezing spell, or would it
be better to keep on hunting until
they found the other button?
Suddenly he laughed aloud. "I've
just thought of something" he said.
"Tll 60 to the grocery store and get
some sneezeless pepper. Then the
eleven buttons will not only be
enough, but they will be sure to
stay on because Puff won't sneeze
any more"
II hope it will be as you say"
said Will O. the Wisp, trimming the
wick of his lantern and filling it
with oil, as it was getting late and
almost time for him to make his
usual rounds as night Waterman of
Dixie Land.
"Thank you, I am sure we shall,
if we look in the right place." said
Juggle jump.
So they all shook hands with Mis-
ter Will and said bood-bye, and
thanked him for helping them and
then as Juggle Jump pressed one of
his magic buttons which said "ever

lers shrank to the size Of pigmies
There were the three humming birds

stand how false is the argument adj
vanced by some mothers that their
smaller children require less fresh
air than their older children.
As child grows older he should
be taught the value of regular hours
for sleep. He should be taught that
the quality of sleep is just as i'm
portant as the amount Of sleep. He
should be taught that if he does not
awake refreshed after a nights sleep
that something is wrong. Sleep
should be the great reservoir into
which your child can dip for re-
newed energy and ambition.
Nothing is more natural than
sleep. When a child is busy during
the day at play or at small tasks.
and at night finds himself unable to
sleep, you should remember that
this is unnatural and that there is
reason which you should set about
to discover at once.
n sleeplessness is due to n lumpy
mattress this is easily corrected. If
sleeplessness is due to a late meal
or to unwholesomc food, that can be
easily remedied. However. if sleep
lrssness is due to So-called "nervous-
ness" the cause may frequently be
much more difficult to get at. This
is especially true in the case Of chill
dren. inasmuch as children seldom
understand the causes of sleepless-
ness or if they do understand them
they wish to conceal them.
You should know that some chill
dren are far more susceptible to
nervous disturbances than are others
and that children as rule are more
susceptible to nervous disturbances
than many people are accustomed to
think. You cannot assume that
child will sleep merely because he
is child. No child sleeps so sound
~ simply because he is a child that
noises will not trouble him, that
sounds will not disturb his slumber.
DO not forget that night terrors are
often due to frights received during

The air passages of the human
body begin with the nose. The nose
is lined with a thin, moist mem-
brane whose function it is to catch
up the dust and to warm and mois-
ten the air. The nose is divided
into several small channels through
which air must pass on its way to
the lungs. This division of the nose
increases the. warming area.
The bronchial tubes at their ends
are surrounded by very thin walls
These tubes lead to thousands Of lit
tie rounded cavities known as the
air sacs. 1t is estimated that if you
could take these air sacs in your
lungs. cuts4them open and spread
them out side by side they would
cover more than two thousand
square feet Of space.
The walls of these air sacs arc
thin and in these walls are many
fine delicate blood vessels or capil-
laries. as they are called. II is

chest are elastic, so that your lungs
may expand fully, you will find that
there will be difference of from 3

inhalation. A lack Of adequate
chest expansion means: that your
blood is not getting sufficient

Strong vitality and endurance and
well-developed lungs go together.
