THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Listen to any old-timer hold forth
and almost invariably he will allude
to "the good old days" The young
sters who hear him with skeptical
smiles will do the same when they
grow old. It's human nature, that's
all. It is the man in the twilight OF
life looking back at the bright noon
day. The soft shadows of the twi-
light obscure all the rough spots
and unpleasant memories and there
remains only the thought Of the
tingle and tang of life when we
were 81" Perhaps also as we in
evitably approach nearer the jour
ney's end, we do not like to look
ahead, but find measure Of solace
by looking backward and living
over again the days that are gone.
There are those who believe
something, and therefore will toler-
ate nothing, and on the other hand,
those who tolerate everything, be-
cause they believe nothing. r.

GETTING THE HABIT
OF CLEANLINESS

what will people think?" is one
of the strongest forces affecting
human conduct, whether that ap-
plies to paying ones debts or to
such matters of daily routine as
taking a bath. Boys and girls are
particularly susceptible to the opin-
ion of the group to which they be-
long. This, probably, is one reason
for the great success of Organiza-
lions like the Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Campfire Girls, and 9TH
ers, in moulding the habits Of chill
dren.
Mrs. Jane Deeter Rippin, national
director of the Girl Scouts, in a
recent statement reveals secrets of
child guidance that should provide
many parents with food for thought.
She tells of a twelve-year-Old girl
scout who decided to work for the
health badge" and found out that
for three months she would have to
follow certain regulations with re-
gard to rest, exercise, food, and
cleanliness.
Three months!" she exclaimed
gloomily, aware that bathing and
tooth brushing had never been her
favorite pastimes. "By that time 1
suppose I'll have the habit"
The child knew that the public
opinion of her troop would count
heavily in inducing her to follow
these rules, and that before long
the habits would become so well
established that she might actually
enjoy them. For this is how the
wise parent or teacher, or leader of
children, helps to guide them in the
ways of wholesome living.
Give a girl a feeling of partner
ship in the humble duties, Mrs. Rip
pin advises, such as washing the
dishes or gathering wood at camp.
AS long as she feels she is doing
it for her troop, the circle whose
opinion she values, she does it with
a proud sense of accomplishment.
And before long the desire for
for neatness of person
and surroundings, has become Sec
ond nature.
Fortunate is the boy or girl
whose associates call for good hab-
it's rather than bad, for in these
years it is easy to es-
tablish either. Once cleanliness of
body and mind becomes accepted
as the stanardd, an inner fastid-
iousness grows up as a defense
against any lowering Of that stand
ard. The day of outward discipline
passes, and youth learns to become
its own taskmaster.

POOR SLAVES MUST co!
New "VALET" Blade is Changing Shaving
Habit of the Nation

This new WALLET" blade can be
readily identified. Cut through the
blade is the name VALET. Its
outstanding superiority is apparent
the first time you shave with it.
Even the 18th shave with the same
blade provokes enthusiastic COM
ment, for this new blade enables
you to obtain more shaves and
better shaves than you ever had
before. Users of Valet AutoStrop
Razor who have tried these new
blades claim they are even better
than our old blades, which were
always recognized as the best. Deal
ers everywhere carrying these new
WALLET" blades tell us they have
never seen the equal of the demand
for these new blades among men
coming to their stores.
