weeks. He was so years old.
Chief Flynn was formerly head

survived by his wife, Mrs. Ann
Mackey Flynn: three sons, William,
Gerald. and Elmer, and three daugh.
tiers, Veronica and Jane Flynn. and

town with tavern keeper sitting un-
Sympathetically on his trunk until the
amount of the board bill or its equiva-
lent was provided. We shall not soon
forget an obscure little Shakespearean
troupe which was stranded in a small
North Carolina town one morning many
years ago. 1t might be added that the
company included Uncle Toms Cabin"
In its repertoire. One of the actresses
who played Liza also played Portia
and Juliet, depending upon the per-
formance. 1t was pathetic little group
that stood in the murky lobby of the
hotel at 5 o'clock that rainy morning
trying to persuade an obstinate pro-
prietor to release their baggage so that
they could move on to the next town.
We watched those pennileSs thespians
finally pluck rings from their fingers
which the hotel proprietor accepted as
security for the release Of their baggage.
This is seldom the lot OF the present
day actor, but he has his anxieties
nevertheless. No young person who de-
sires TO escape work should choose the
stage as career.

collect your wits? Laugh a little bit.
No need of going through the day with

try Solomon's remedy: "A merry

Laugh little bit. A good laugh stirs
the blood, loosens the nerves. stimulates
the muscles OF the heart and stomach,
and pepS up the whole system. Try 1t.
1t may save you doctors bill.

than rub 1t in the surface of the paper.
Places that are especially dusty. such as
walls over radiators. near registers, etc.
should be wiped off with small pieces
Of cotton batting. Change the batting
frequently, or you will smear the walls
and not clean them,
Pictures should be taken down wneli
walls are cleaned at houSecleaning
times, though the walls around the pic
lures can be kept busted between these
periods of extra thorough work. Let
the strokes of the covered broom duster
overlap one another to insure the best
results.
Be sure the picture frames and backs
are absolutely clean when the pictures
are rehung or they will soil the wall
1t Is well to dust behind pictures and

cial covering to keep them clean and
looking their best and freshest. Painted
walls can be washed. but 1t is not easy
70 prevent them from getting streaked,
1t is almost impossible. They may have
to be actually scrubbed with a brush,
Have the water more than lukewarm
soapy and with little kerosene in it,
Use a strong cloth TO wash the surface.
Then so over the washed surface with
another cloth wet with clean. warm
water. and last of all, wipe with an
absorbent cloth. Old gauze underwear
is fine for this, Do not try to do an
entire room at one time. This is too
tiresome: do one side wall at a time
and wash spaces within reach at one
time Then move the Stepladder and
DO another section. but have each wash
ING overlap the one previously done, so
that there will be no marks between

Your Baby and Mine
Encourage a Child to Play.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Adults who view all the child's ac-
tivities through their own eyes may
frown upon so much play. The play Of
childhood cannot be compared to the
sports Of the adult. Play is the chid's
whole business Il feel that am quot
ing from something, while sport Is
merely recreation following work, for
the adult.
We must not think Of play as recrea-
ton, 1t is the most serious business
for the young. Play influences the
mental, moral and physical well-being
Of the child.
Children who are sick look with pos
itive distaste at their toys and We mark
their first step toward recovery when
they again view them with interest.
The wen child who can't find enjoy
ment In his toys or In joyous outdoor
rompings has been surfeited by too
many toys or spoiled by too much at
tention. There could hardly be any
other explanation.
Mothars who are constantly at the
beck and call OF their children, or who
employ a nursemaid to constantly sit
by the child and supervise his playing,
do the children q grave injustice. It
is well TO be sympathetic with a child's
play games and at times enter into
their spirit. but most of the time the
child should be thrown on his own re-
sources, so that he will develop initia-
tive and ingenuity In thinking up
things to do. II the mother is always
going to attend to this for him. he Is
going TO become increasingly dependent
upon her.
Put 10 healthy children In a room,
with toys to be had for the slight effort
Of selecting them, and no two viii
choose the same toys. This shows how
really useless 1t is to force young chill
dren TO play in groups when they have
not reached the age when group ac-
tivities are intere-ting 70 them. Trying
20 get group Of young children into
any game is like trying 10 collect lot
OF little angleworms In one pile. Let
go and they are heading In a dozen
different directions
Let the child alone. Let him play
what he chooses and for as long or as
short q time as he pleases. II there
Is ever time when a child should be
allowed TO follow the dictates of his
own interests It L. when he is playing
No suggestions or interference from
adults-but just encourage him TO play

example Of merely listening to her own
Alan,aratn aud INN niYairn fha nIitaide

example Of merely listening TO her own
thoughts and imagining the outside
echo.
Hallucination or vision Is nothing else
than the actual projection Of what
starts within the mind Yet our emo
ton or belief does the starting. II you
are timid and 60 into room In a dim
light and are frightened by ghost,
but have courage enough to look more
carefully and observe that 1t is just the
arrangement Of some clothes hanging
over chair In the moonlight, you can
hardly be said to be the victim of an
hallucination. We know that many
people have the habit of projecting their
thoughts in pictures. and so see visions
which they often recognize as such.
Mrs M. l.. S. has the more unusual
habit of projecting thought in words;
she doesn't see. but she listens to her
thoughts Her thoughts seem to be con-
tributed by others, but there are no
others.
So far as we know, there is no such
thing as thought transference. On the
contrary, the belief in thought trans
ference arises because so many persons
have experiences which make them IA
vor that belief. Such beliefs survive
only because they are interesting.

More About Needed Foods.

We said the other day that any re-
duction diet, to be properly balanced,
as far as the chemical side of the prob
lem goes, and yet reduce the weight.
must include about a pound of watery
vegetables, a pint of skim or butter
milk and 200 calories of fruit, fresh
or cooked. incidentally, If you dislike
milk. a little cheese will do, as 1t Is very
rich in protein and lime.
Now, of course, you must have some
starchy food, fattening though 1t Is.
You've got little fat from the first part
of this. Now. then, one potato and one
slice of bread, not very thick, but not
too thin. They are about the same in
caloric value: that is, each is 100 cal
ories. Potatoes have alkaline salts. The
bread should be whole wheat, for its
higher vitamin quality and its slightly
laxative, or at least its -constipat-
ing quality. You can also have little
butter-100 calories.
I think all this comes to about 300
calories, and 200 Is an average reduc-
ton amount. Don't forget the clear

ories. And you have a margin of 100
calories for very tiny bit Of cake, or
pie. or pudding, or a single piece of
candy, or sugar in your tea or coffee. or
a few crackers at bedtime. Pick and
choose what you want, sticking to the
calorie ration. I ONLY want to suggest
balanced diet. You could reduce eat
ing only lettuce, but 1t wouldn't be good
for you. You must eat everything as
1t comes in season. but not fats. You
get them by absorbing the surplus fat
from your own body. You become slim.
and your digestive and other organs
function as normal. Try 1t and see.
