ONCE LOVERS
BY ]. ]. MUNDY


You picture these homes as always
serene, smooth sailing.
When you draw a comparison be-
tween what happens in your home
and what you imagine goes on in
their homes. you begin to blame some
one for the trouble: but do you often
think of yourself as the cause?
You admit that you have a temper,
a bit quick at times when you be-
come arrogant but you do not paint
yourself in as unfayorable light os
you would II you were truly honest.
Possibly there are some homes
where there is no quarreling but II
so, those homes are exceptions.
Two normal persons cannot get
along, year after year, without hav-
ing differences Of opinion which they
support with more or less vigor; but
If a spirit Of fairness prevails, there
would be fewer quarrels.
To quarrel k petty. To have diff
ferences is natural. Don't quarrel.
BE fair.

Value of Preparation
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

Most accidents occur because the
person takes a step or makes a move
ment a fraction of a second before his
mind has signaled that all is clear.
Lloyd George, whose career has
stamped him as one Of the most effec-
tive speakers of the zine, said in re-
gard to speaking in public:
Those who are fluent are tempted
to do something which is known as
trusting to the inspiration Of the mo-
ment.' A fatal phrase upon which
many promising careers have been
wrecked. The surest road to inspira-
ton is preparation. Mastery in n
speech comes from mastery of your
subject"
Andrew Carnegie once condensed his
advice to young men into nine words.
They were: Prepare TO your utmost
and then do your best"
II you follow the first part Of this
advice the latter part generally takes
care of itself.

New Idea in Science

+" HERE'S a new idea in the scientific world
Matched from consideration of Einsteins theory
and Millikans ray. The thought is that the
universe isn't running down to the point where
tually everything will stop, but is constantly being
wound as fast it down. As Professor Pupin of
Columbia University puts it, 1.-THE discovery of the short
Millikan ray is of the most important made.
We do not know its significance yet. We think that this
extremely short ray coming in from outer space means
that in outer space elecron being gathered together
to form the atoms of matter In other words that in
outer space electricity turning into matter. This gives
a outlook upon the universe"
The difference is between optimism and pessmism.
you believe that the world is running down, however
slowly you say to yourself: Whats the use? It's all
coming to end, anyway, and might we'll do as
we please" But if you believe that the universe is
eternally youthful, undying and unendng, may
well say to himself: 81 might well my little time
earth in making few permanent improvements. As
long to this universe forever it will pay
us to increase its valuation" 4a

Life's Hurdles
BY L. E. Bisch

A chilfs mind drinks in everything
and therefore it is our duty to implant
all the healthy and beautiful and
stimulating ideas we can.
Have you ever stopped to consider
how often even as an adult you let
your thoughts drift back to childhood
days?
Are you able to look back to Christ
mas time with its visits to grand
mothers, perhaps, in the country?
Has not the memory Of a country
landscape, or the soft murmur Of n
brook, or the twittering of birds telp-
ed to repose and refresh you?
Yes, If we have had the privilege
of beautiful surroundings and associa-
tons in childhood we are thrice
blessed.
A boy will never forget his favorite
seat high up in treetop, or sunsets,
or snow storms or icicles.
A girl will always remember her
doll house under the trees, or the era
die with her pecious babies beside the
lilacs.
Give your children, therefore, the
opportunity if possible, of storing their
minds with beautiful pictures.
The brick and mortar Of city dwell
ings do not give the romance that the
country does.
If you live in the city, take your
children to the country as often as
possible.
Put them into contact with a gnr-
den, a barn, with domestic animals.
Show them the woods, the fields, the
lakes, the ocean.
Discuss plant life, make them like
flowers.
Explain how vegetables grow.
Introduce them to insect life, bird
life, all kinds Of nature.
Let them have pets-a dog, a cat,
a rabbit, a canary.
Build into their little minds beau
tiful memories.
A child that has been brought up to
love nature is not likely to go wrong.
The man or woman whose thoughts
are surcharged with visions Of a green
past can never be utterly unhappy.
And what's more, while you are
taking your children out, while you
are implanting beauty in their minds
you are at the same time refreshing
and stimulating your own!

In a royal household children's
nurses play an important part.
They have u special position; they
are more important than almost any
one else as they are responsible for
the welfare of the country's hope, the
royal children, the heirs to the
throne. those that are to carry on!
Each of my children was born, 20
to say, ito the country" They were
a sort of public property, an important
treasure, a reserve. And each little
birth was a national festivity.
1 had six, and there was as much
rejoicing over the last as over the
first. The three boys were guaran-
tees for the continuance of the
Dynasty. The three girls were so
many future links with other coun-
tries, therefore a strong asset in the
life Of the state.
The first nurse I had for my three
elder children was a type now grad
ually disappearing, almost in fact n
Dickens type. She was fat, loud and
CHEEKY. She dropped her "h's," wore
an impossible bonnet-always a little
askew-an unlined lace "tippet" and
she had the privilege of saying the
truth all around.

Poor Men as Heroes

IIN n AXE your hero king" wrote Aristotle in the
"a IVI days when the important national stories CEN
tered around rulers. Kings no longer play
much of role in fiction drama except in the
light romantic The rich and elegant partly take their
place, but not altogether.
Tosto, certainly the greatest novelist of the new
school, was in rage because contemporary writer had
said that the life of the lower classes as subject
all used up.
If an American novelist today had talent equal to
Tolstoi's thing safely be said about him. The
merely idle rich would not attract him. The struggle
for money would take lot of his attention for it is
big factor in civilization.
He wound paint it from the angle of what it does
to the man who piles up a fortune, what it does
to his son and daughter, what the inside life of coal
miner is, what is the relation between the speculative
spirit and crime 1t would take large brush like the
brush that painted the Russian peasant and the Russian
dreamer, and helped to dig the grave of the Russian
Tsars.

An early Saxon chief is known to
history as "Aethelred the Unready."
At decisive battle he rushed into
the conflict before he was prepared
and his disaster is remembered even
today.
The unready are legion in every
community and organization.
When you hear a poor speech or
witness n misunderstanding or hear of
an accident, large percentage Of the
time you can trace their cause to one
thing. Someone went ahead without
being ready.
Prescott in his Conquest of Peru"
records the interesting fact that Pr
zarro always said mo" when he was
asked a favor by any Of his soldiers.
The reason was this: He knew he
was slow in deciding correctly and he
wanted to be ready before he made a
final agreement, yet he wanted 10

So he always said mo" and then re-
Elected on it and when ready gave a
final yes" or mo"
A famous diplomat whose prudence
was given credit for averting more
than one war said the only credit he
took to himself was that he had re-
sisted the temptation ito do something,
which always besets one when one is
anxious about a matter"
He waited until he had thought the
matter through and was ready before
he acted. This is in itself the essence
Of good judgment.

Something to Think About
By BRUNO LESSINC

These are serious questions. The
worst of it all is that you can wash
down a Kansas roast mutton and a
slice Of apple pie with glass Of milk
and suffer nothing worse than a bit Of
collie or mild gastritis, whereas the
canvas-back duck or Russian caviar
fairly gag you unless you can take a
sip of champagne. Which is a viola.
ton Of the Yolstead law.
But there is still another aspect Of
Senator Copeland's prediction. About
the only thing that people do at home,
in big cities, these days, is to eat.
They no longer have home religious
services. They no longer have some
reunions. They no longer stay home
at nights and read or talk o1think.
They merely eat at home and then
each rusbes out to his or her particu-
lar amusement.
Pa goes to the club or to a bur
lesque show, Ma goes out to a dance
or a talk-fest. Sonny and daughter
run out to have a good time, and
heaven only knows where they go.
SO, il home eating is going to be cut
Out, what's the use Of having a home
at all? If it becomes only n nightly
lodging place some reformer may de-
wise a much better scheme whereby
wen all sleep in a community house,
go to bed at the same hour, wake up at
the same hour and have all the beds
made up by machinery.
Or, perhaps, well all 20 back to
the country. Inasmuch as Senator
Copeland's prediction is restricted to
metropolitan life, those who live on
farms may still have a chance Of hav-
ing a home and Of having their own
cook prepare their meals in their own
way.

Freaks Of Nature

The strsngest companiOnship that
existed since the separation Of the
passengers on the Ark ended about 30
years ago when the quaggo, a cousin
10 the zebra, became extinct. The
quagga was famed for its friendship
with the ostrich. No one ever discoy-
cred why the quagga and the shy os-
trich were so friendly. Although the
quagga was most sociable toward the
ostrich, it could not bear to be near
human beings. As Africa was grad.
ually colonized. the strange creature
retreated to the interior, and finally
disappeared from the face Of the earth.

Before a great many years roll
by." says Senator Royal s. Copeland.
-the restaurant will have almost en-
tirely taken the place of the home
kitchen in metropolitan life.'
This is a very interesting predie-
ton. What will happen when all the
people who live in cities cease eating
at home and take their meals in pub
lie places?
Will they get as good food? You
may devise hygienic kitchen which
will give you the right number of cal
ories-if you have a weakness for cal
ories-but can any kitchen appeal to
your appetite and your enjoyment as
well as the cook whom you have train
ed to cook things your way?
Eating used to be considered both
a science and an art. Many volumes
have been written on artistic cooking
and on the selection Of artistic menus.
Much depends upon the individuality
the habits and the condition of the
eater. Sometimes you could eat
round roast OK; other times you want
a drop or two less Of vinegar in your
nightingale salad.
Can restaurants crafty the vagsries
Of taste and inclination in eating as
well as the home cook? Or will they
succeed, some day, in making all ap-
petites alike and gratifying them all
in the same way?
Can any cook prepare a meal for
1000 people that will be as perfect and
as tasteful as a meal prepared for one
or two individuals who know exactly
what they want: Is it wise to bring all
appetites and tastes down to a com
mon level? Aren't most Of them low
enough: Are steaks, stews and cal
cries better than the breast Of can
yas-back duck with press sauce?

Winters Ills
By Royal S. Copeland

Winter has its attractions. The
stimulating weather, the beauties of
frost and snow. the comfort Of the
fireside-all these are winter joys.
But winter brings its troubles, too.
The nipping air causes frostbite and
chilblains. The heavy food produces
indigestion. The skin suffers from
various ailments peculiar to the sea-
son.
One Of the most annoying disturb
ances Of the cold weather is what is
called "mid-winter pruritis." The legs
and sometimes the forearms itch and
burn and smart. On removing the
underwear, or after a warm bath, the
irritation is so great it is almost i'm
possible to keep from tearing and dig.
ging the skin with the finger nails.
One reason why the skin itches is
because it lacks oil. Sometimes the
symptoms can be relieved by rubbing
the skin with oil.
There are other local applications
which are very helpful. One of the
most useful Of these is byposulphite Of
soda. Add three tablespoonfuls to a
quart of water and mop it upon the
itching parts. This will give won
derful relief in most cases.
Ordinary baking soda may be used
the same way. Also any protecting
sslve will aid. Yaseline, oxide CT
zinc ointment, and the various tar
ointments are valuable.
For the itching and irritation Of
chil5lains, have prescribed for iuo iy,
many years, a mixture made Of iodine
crystals, five grains; collodion, one
ounce; ether, two drachms. This is
painted On the cbilblains every day.
Chilling of the skin, plus moisture
this is the way 70 get frostbites
and chilblains. The feet and other
parts Of the body must be kept dry.
Care must be taken 10 avoid wearing
thick. wooden stockings and underwear
except in really cold weather. The
sweating they produce prepares the
way for the trouble which frosty air
will bring TO moist surfaces.
The way we eat in winter is an
other factor in disturbing the skin. Fat
meat. thick GRAVES, hot bread, greasy
sOups-these are more commonly and
abundanuy served than in summer.
In consequence, the digestive and elm.
NATIVE organs are overworked. The
skin gives evidence Of this.
You must take unusual care Of
yourself in winter. You are tempted
to stay indoors, avoiding the exercise
which is essential TO good health. The
floors Of your house may be cold
and the passsgeways chilling. / know
from experience that getting up on a
cold morning and building a fire ig no
fun.
But the exercise Of good sense in
dressing and in the care Of your per.
son will help a lot.

THE ABUNDANCE OF CAPITAL

One of the remarkable features of the present
business situation is the fact that capital seems so
abundant for all wishing to do business Back in
1920, one of the factors that produced disaster was
the high rate asked for loans of money People who
wanted to borrow to finance their operations had to
pay high interest. There did not seem to be capital
enough to do the business of the country.
The high prices had made it necessary to have
great amounts Of capital swing the operations of
trade and finance and it did not seem as if the saw
ings of the country adequate to carry on its
business
But now probably doing more business
than being done in 1920 and yet rates of inter-
est continue low. People desiring to carry on bust
ness and who have good security get all the money
they want at very moderate rates. This has led to
advancing prices of stocks bonds since the divi
bends these securities look highly desirable at the
current rates of interest 1t also stimulates the en-
terprise of all who wish to do business 1t is
condition in which there are few obstacles to de-
yelopment except those that always exist through HUI
frailty.
This condition ought to promote commercial con-
fidenee 1t shows that unless inflated conditions be-
come exaggerated, smash is going to be caused
by the inadequacy of the nations capital
The people have constantly been saving money
which makes capital more abundant. But it seems
doubtful il they saved enough in the past five wears
10 make this great difference Perhaps the real Situ
aton is that better systems of business turn over
capital faster. that given amour. OF business ca,
