He will never attract anybody. how

inferior because of his appearance.
In this respect at least, women
nave more intelligence or a better
sense of value than men have. A
man will marry girl for no other
good reason that that she has a
peaches and cream complexion, ma
turally curly hair, or a willowy fig

husband whose only charm is a face
With perfect features and a physique

thing far more Observation-Disclosures
charm far more lasting-than mere
good looks.
They don't want husbands so good

out of sight-because they will at
tract every other wOman's attention
and especially they don't want hus-
bands who present a contrast to them

The Illinois situation begins to look
warlike, they report, but all the pre-
parations seem to be on the operator
side. The big No. 9 mine of the Pea
body Coal Co. at Taylorville has set
a war precedent by completely fenc-
ing in its property, a proceeding hith-
erto unheard of in the easvgoing Hi
nois district. A 5-foot fence of close
ly woven wire strung on iron posts
set in concrete is surmounted bv 3
strands of barbed wire. Before the
shutdown every miner had to enter
through a guarded gate which was in
constant telephone communication
both with the mine bosses under
ground and with headquarters. The
face bosses carried revolvers on the
hip. Peabody's No. 7 and 8 mines
are reported to contemplate similar
measures.
"The bosses learned at Herrin in
1922 that Illinois miners have a lot
of fight left in Them" the miners con-
cluded.

HEY, FELLERs! HOMELINESS IS AN ASSET

Dear Miss FlO:-
am young man-nOt at all good
looking. and | am not at all pOpu-
lar with girls. As a result l spend
most of my time alone and never
have any good times like other fell
Iows | know. Do you thinnk it is be-
cause | am so hOmely? l am crazy
about very pretty girl-but she is
so lovely and so attractive to other
men that I am afraid to make an at
tcmpt to become better acquainted
with her. l.. l..
The fact that you are not good
looking has absolutely nothing to do
with your npopularity with women
because. as a matter of fact, few
women admire pretty men. In truth
they rather resent a man who is bet
ter looking, because they feel that
beaut is a prerogative that belongs
solely to the feminine sex, and that
man is infringing in their own par
ticular field when he is good look
inc. They want to be the picture in
their own particular domicile.
So the man who knows himself to
be unattractive physically need not
retire and live the life of a recluse.
He can cultivate other attractions of
manners and conversation and per-
sonality that enables him to be so

"Have you ever stopped to realize
what an important part food of the
proper kind and amount can play in
helping to maintain a good state of

tension Service of the Montana State
College, still indicate a general ten
dency toward inadequate consumption
of milk, vegetables, fruits and whole
cereals in the average family diet APP
parently due to one or more of the
following causes:
(a) Lack of appreciation on the
part of the parents and others of the
value of these in the diet.
(b) Inadequate production and
preservation of foods particularly
vegetables, fruits, eggs, and in many
J cases milk to provide an adequate

cases to lack of knowledge of the

(e) In some cases garden failures

scarce for buying even the essential

ILLNESS EXPENSIVE
SAYS BLANCHE LEE
State Home Demonstration Leader
Would Prevent Disease By Proper
Food and Health Habits.

Miss Blanche Lee, State Home De-
monstratiOn Leader, and a member of
the State May Day Committee, points
out the immense cost of illness to the
people of Montana. Miss Lee says:
"Have you ever stopped to figure
what it costs to be i'll? Counting the
loss of time and therefore wages or
salary as well as doctor bills and hos
pltal fees, the amount of money spent
by many families to regain health
amounts to many hundreds of dollars
each year. The money we believe
could be spent for prevention of i'll
health and the consequent loss of eff
ficiency.
Records of the Montana State
Board of Health indicate that in 1925
there were 376 deaths from tubercu-
losis. Such diseases as tuberculosis,
septic sore throat, frequent colds, ty-
phoid fever, appendicitis, goitre and

or automobile coming on the other
side"
Those who have given the greatest
thought to the whole problem of how
to reduce street accidents, are con-
WINGED that major job is to be
done in the schools. And that same
instruction should be supplemented
in the home. Let the home and the
school combine to instruct children
correctly about the use of city
streets and the number Of street
accidents to children will be reduced.
Parents have been known to tell
children ''to keep in front of the
house" If there is a playground
near by that isn't good advice. Chill
dren told to keep in front of the
house" often find themselves playing
in the streets and that's dangerous.
Children too should be taught to
respect traffic officers and to have
confidence in them, not to fear them.
