Of circumstances they could control the Germans
had - treat China equal.
Meanwhile the other European nations followed the
old policy They maintained fleets and sarrsons in
China. They maintained their own courts there, set
aside certain quarters Of Chinese cities for their own
use, and maintained a high and mighty attitude in
every respect That they agreed the way to deal
with the Chinese.
Then came the turmoil Of revolution. And now read
these sentences frcm.the magazine article:

kept; British, American and French women and chill

AT the same time however the Germans carried
on. In all the ceners where revolution ragged German
property was not molested and German residents
not harmed. German firms in Hankow continued

The writer gees to remark that while British and
japanese merchant ships were being fired on daily in
the Yangtze river, German ships invariably were al
lowed to 90 by unmolested.
There is lot Of food for thought in that article
The nations that used force China have seen their
trade shrink and will it shrink more as time goes
on. The Germans who did not use force, have reaped
the benefit. Force. obviously. has failed.
Nations-and peope--who cannot be dissuaded from
force by the argument that it is morally wrong may
eventually give it up when they learn that it is worse
than useless.

4 SUCCESSFUL LIFE

l
One who wishes to obtain the
keenest enjoyment Of life must be
well read and thoroughly conversant
with all Of the affairs Of the day.
The mind must be constantly alert
but if we wish to obtain the fullest
and best expression Of our mental
faculties, we must possess strong,
healthy bodies, for the mind, no
matter how we'll developed, can only
express itself through this physical
organism.
Most people do not develop to their
most splendid capabilities. They
become short or tall, fat or thin, and
develop biliousness, anemia, high
blood pressure. govt and. in fact,
everything from falling hair to fallen
arches. One who is in perfect
health develops keen faculties.
You would not think Of driving
your automobile with q dirty wind
shield through which you could
hardly see. Then do not be salts
fled with travelling about through
life with your senses dulled and
clouded by toxins in your body.
| When one is in health the palate
sense the delicate flavors of deli
cious foods, while one who is sick
will probably be nauseated. All
who are healthy are therefore rich
because they are able to bring the
problems Of life to successful con-
clusion. They lead happier lives.
and in this way they benefit the
world because happiness is conta-
gious as well as disease.
In order to explain to you in
very definite way just what ! con-
slider = good regime for a success
full life, am going to rive you some
instructions which, if carefully OBJ
served and followed, will undoubt-
edly be helpful.
Upon arising in the morning, it is
good plan to take about 10
minutes time to perform some Wig
orous calisthenics. Do these exer-
cises before an open window. and
then take q cold shower bath after
you have become thoroughly warmed
with the exercises.
Your breakfast should consist of
one or two eve prepared in any
ma except by frying. two or
three pieces of Melba toast which
is prepared by cutting white bread
ons.fourth of an inch thick and
toasting it il ~ oven until it is 4
golden brown all the way through.
This toast II uld not be r..
until it is to be eaten. In addition,
you may choose one Of the following
stewed fruits: prunes. pears, april
cots, figs, raisins, peLch ;, or ripe
figs. Use only the pure sun-dried,
unsulphured fruits. An average of
five prunes or an equal qucrtity Of
the other foods is sufficient to OBJ
tain the greatest value. These
fruits must be prepared and served
without cream or sugar. except the
ripe figs on which you may have
little cream but no sugar.
After eating, it is better TO spend
few minutes in relaxation or read
ing some light literature such IS
the morning paper. If possible. it
| is better to have regular hours Of
work, and one should not be afraid
to overwork within definite limited
hours. 10y
For luncheon, one may use one
or more of the succulent non-starchy
vegetables that are so prevalent on
the market at the present season.
The best Of these are celery, as
paragus, spinach. small string beans,
summer squash, cucumbers, egg
plant. beet tops. small beets, small

THE BEAUTY OF TODAY

The city Of Rheims has been largely rebuilt. The
great cathedral that shattered by German shells
is something like its former self. The surround
ing houses Of the old French town have been restored
to their old appearance. The scars Of war are being
removed.
The beauty Of Rheims once made the place magnet
for travellers from all over the world. When news
papers, during the war, announced that that beauty
being obliterated by high explosives, the world
felt panied astonishment. Il hard to realize that
the loneliness which had spent long centuries in
perfectins could vanish overnight ripped apart by
snub-nosed little cylinders Of lyddite and TINT.
Yet that is the way things are, and, all too often,
the lost beauty cannot be repaired afterward %
Rheims is being repaired. The world is q rough place
and men careless Beauty is fragile, easily de-
stroyed. Sooner later al beautiful things-buld-
ings, poems, actions, melodies-disappear Only the
memory apd the inspiration Of them remain.
But, perhaps, things could not we'll be ordered any
other way. We need to make our own beauty II we
could bask all lives in the Of the fine things
other men did and made might not bestir our
selves. If the music Of Orpheus had been preserved.
what need would Beethoven and Wagner have had for
selfexpression the glory Of heroic lives like Paul
spincza. Joan Of Arc and Washington did not grow
DIM might not forget to Be brave and vrtuous and
altruistic ourselves?
Also there is this to think Of The brutal ruthless
ness Of the world compels to lasting bene-
fit, to take advantage Of beauty while we have It
instead Of living too much in the future. Do you
have, in your life, something extremely precious
and lovely-some such thing, for example. - love.
creative work, quiet home? Then cherish il with
al your soul; some day, for all your watchfulness,
the world may take it away from you. Do not look
too much to the future You get your happness here
and now.
The finer thing is the perishabls it must be-
To face that fact frankly is to feel the essential
tragedy Of e but it also is to be Insufficient and

FRENCH POLITICS AND RAIN

It seems there is quite a difference between the
French and the Americans.
France held elections the other day. and politicians
were hoping for rain. II election day rainy they
explained, the people would vote if it were bright
and shiny too many Of them would take outing in
the country and would not 90 the polls.
In this country all Of this is reversed. rainy day
keeps the vote down; but if there is sunshine people
flock to the polls in great numbers.
This striking contrast probably has some deep
significance regarding the national characteristics Of
the two peoples. But, what is it?

THE PENNY MATCHES

At any cigar store or drug store you can buy 4
little box Of matches for a penny. Offhand it would
almost seem as if these were merely> sold as a con-
venience; one would hardly suppose that the manu-
facture Of penny matches was great undertaking.
Yet the Department Of Commerce reveals that in
1927 there Is match manufacturers the United
States, doing a gross business Of s24,7s5S35 These
plants employed nearly 1000 men, and paid out up
wards Of 100000 in wages during the year.
This hardly compares with the industrial giants, of
course But il is safe bet that the business is far
larger than most Of US ever imagined.
