Fairy tales are certainly good for
children provided they do not tell
stories that frighten.
Nothing is more beautiful than
a belief in fairies on the part OF
children, I'd that such belief is
also beautiful when held by adults
is attested by the popularity Of
some Of Barrie's plays.
No adults would certainly like
to believe that fairies exist and
lucky is the one whose childhood
life was rich with fairy lore.
Unfortunately, many of the fairy
tales told children have some hor-
ror element in them.
Little Red hling Hood" one
Of the most famous, is a case in
point.
Why frighten child with
stories Of wolves and foxes, bears
and all sorts of wild animals that
threaten harm?
Why not restrict our stories TO
picturesque and interesting stories
Of animal life?
Indian folklore Is rich with
sub material.
A story of how the chipmunk
got his stripes, or how geese be-
gan to fly, or the birds get their
beautiful plumage is infinitely
more fascinating than nonsensical
piffle about bears and wolves eat.
ing bad little boys and girls.
Besides. such yarns c0n be made
instructive, and in an interesting
way teach a moral lesson.
Again, practically all fairy tales
lack bumor. They are not anus
ing. They are too serious.
For example, in n myth to be
found among Seneca legends is one
about squirrel who had boarded
nuts for tho winter but who, hav-
ing built his nest too low, was
robbed by the other animals. Ac-
cordingly be was given web 10
stretch between his legs so that
in the future he might build his
nest high and be able TO fly from
limb TO limb. In this wise the
flying squirrel came into being.

; matter having TO DO with the pro
motion of public and private health.
Recently the public has been in
terested in hearing about the judges
personal experience in what has
been called "health vacation He
spent two or three weeks in hos
pital and, as a result of his diet
ing, lost six pounds in weight. More
than that. he feels so well and Wig
orous that a European trip has been
abandoned as unnecessary.
When asked by newspaper report
ers what he did in the way Of diet
ing, he said food that had been
limited to certain articles. This is
the list:
Fresh fruit, especially orange
juice.
Fresh vegetables, plainly cooked,
potatoes with tho jackets on AMI
spinach boiled in its own juice. The
juice is consumed as well as the
greens.
Not much meat, but what is eaten
must be Of simple wholcsomeness
with very little seasoning.
Sweets-practically none.
Here is a very wise comment
made by Judge Gary:
~Nine-tcnths Of the people in
America eat too much and not one
person out Of a hundred has any
idea Of what constitutes a balanced
ration. Dieting does not mean
starving oneself; it means choos-
ing oue's food with a proper re-
ward for the elements contained
therein.
Most persons lose the mineral
salts under the skin Of a potato by
pairing that vegetable too deeply.
For the same reason spinach should
be cooked in its own juice and the
juice eaten, too"
1t is difficult to get everybody to
appreciate the importance Of select
ing foods with the object Of giving
the body what it must have TO be
strong and vigorous.
1t is particularly important that
teeth and bones shall get the neces.
sary minerals 20 build these struc.
lures. 1t is a crime against child
hood to throw away the water in
which vegetables and meat are
cooked. The proper thing is to 1T
this surplus fluid escape as steam,
so that the contained minerals will
remain to be eaten with the food.
] hope the publicity given Judge
Gary's experience will help the
great cause Of right eating and
right living.

Freaks Of Nature

The catbird is probably the most
abused Of all our domestic birds.
Because of the fact that nc likes
cherries and strawberries as well
as We all do, the farmers forget the
really profitable work he does. He
works day and night from April to
October, destroying harmful insects
about the farm. An innocent little
bird should not be censured just
because be knows nothing of prop
erty rights, and steals few berries
and cherries. Let he who has never
made a raid on neighbours berry
patch, be the ono to cast the first
stone.

Many, many newspaper columns
could be written about the Book Of
Job. Here are merely two thoughts
in connection with it
Chapter 2s contains these pas
sages:
Surely there is a vein for the
silver, and a place for gold where
they find it.
Iron is taken out Of the earth,
and brass is molten out Of the stone
AS for the earth, out Of it cometh
bread; and under it is turned up
as it were fire.
Sir Francis Bacon, one Of the
worlds greatest thinkers, had great
admiration for this Book Of job.
THAT excellent Book Of job b.
called il. And then he suggested
that, If it be carefully studied. il
viii be found to contain a wonder
ful knowledge of natural philoso-
ply.
The reference TO the minerals in
the earth, Bacon thought. proved
that Job was a great mineralogist.
Immediately, how ever, upon the
paragraphs quoted above, comes this
one:
There is a path which no fowl
knoweth, and which the vulturc's
eye hath not seem"
A strain Of beautiful poetry runs
through those words. Thcy suggest
something mysterious or mystical,
weird, not easily grasped. What do
they mean?

Thirdly-Bendavid should consult
an oculist. He is stark blind. The
first issue of The Denver Jewish News
contains four pages of Advertisements.
We cannot understand how he failed
to notice them. Every word was an
ad for, from and by the Denver Jews.
Fourthly-We must confess the edi-
tor of The Denver Jewish News did
not intend the paper for such base
uses as making a fire in the furnace.
We expect every reader to treat the
paper decently, to preserve the issues
unsoiled and unchanged for future
reference, and generations after the
completion of the first volume to have
it bound in leather and back lettered
in gold. However, until the paper
will grow large enough for furnace
ignition, let Mr.. Bendavid in the
meanwhile smoke it in his pipe.

There was vision in the doctor
there was a lack of it in Bendavid.

Notwithstanding our differences of
opinion relative to the functions of a
Jewish paper, we are nevertheless
thankful to Mr.. Bcndavid for his criti-
cism. We are sure he is not alone
in his opinion. There arc others who
think like him, but who neither have
his courage, his ability or his public
spirit to put down in good and chaste
English what they think. Mr. Ben
david gave US the opportunity to say
an editorial word about the aims and
scope of The Denver Jewish News, for
which service we are truly thankful
to him. We extend a hearty INVITA-

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Mar. 3.-This copper mining district will suspend operations the day of Senator Clark's funeral practically all of it's 23,000 population being concerned in the ac- tivities of the Clark interests in Yav- apai county.
 Clark came to Prescott in 1883, and rode horseback through the snow to Jerome, where he inspected a small made one of the worlds greatest cop per producers.
 William Andrews Clark was the last of the three great Montana min ing agnates-Heinze, Daily and Clark Arriving in Bannack, Idaho, in 1863, with $5 capital after an over land journey of 65 days in prairie schooner, he became 40 years later multimillionaire and United States senator He was born in Connellsville, Pa, on January 8, 1889.

 Upon reaching Idaho, Clark became successively miner, teamster, mer- chant, railway builder, capitalist. In more recent years he was known as philanthropist and art collector. He was elected to the United States Senate, after long and bitter pOli- tical controversy, and served the full term of 1901 to 1907. In 1890 he had claimed that honor but was denied his seat. Tn 1898, having apparently won election to the Senate, his seat was contested and he resigned. Lat CT his seat was declared void by the Upper House.
 Senator Clark for years was a cen tral figure in the triangular indus trial war between the Clark, Heinze and Daly mining interests and around this spectacular fight for supremacy was woven much of the history of Montana. It led to battles between great numbers of miners under ground, occupied the courts of Mon tana almost to the exclusion of all other litigation and at last establish ed the apex principle as the mining law of America. Subsequently, the Heinze and Daily interests were merged and the conflict came to an end.
 MT. Clark's property holdings at this time extended from Montana to Southern Mexico and to France. They included the United Verde cop per mine at Jerome, Ariz., beet sugar factory, bronze factory steam and street railway systems, mining mills, timber lands, wire factory, power plants, business blocks and mercantile tablishments in several cities and banks and residences in New York, Paris and Butte, Montana.
