WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN X. THOMSON.

We fail to enjoy life because we
worry out our hearts over getting some
thing we don't have. and pass up the
happiness at our very door. We think
that the enjoyment of life is in objects
when In reality it is in ourselves, a
psychological attitude of mind which
can be cultivated. Try it.
Try appreciating your morning break
fast of coffee and doughnutS and the
appetite to digest it. Try approaching
the sunset and occasionally the sunrise,
the laughter Of little children, the gen.
uine smile and the hearty handclasp
of loyal friend. the green of grass and
the white of snow, the air you breathe,
the food you consume and thousand
other commonplace things that ordi-
narily We all take for granted.
We don't enjoy life because we make
hard work of 1t. We try too hard. En-
joying life is a simple thing-it depends
on your attitude and not on things.
1t depends upon you and not some one
else. 1t is all in the way you look at
life.

good plan to wash your face so often
as II will make the skin rough. Cleanse
1t with cleansing cream and then wash
it with plenty Of soap and warm water
at bedtime. Use complexion brush.
Lather and rinse the skin several times
then give it good rinsing in clean
warm water and rub with ice. In the
morning wash your face with cold water
along. If your face becomes oily dur
ing the day. wipe 1t with piece OF
absorbent cotton moistened in WITCH
hazel. Take a warm cleansing bath
each night and cold or tepid bath
in the morning followed by brisk
rundown with a dry towel. Eat plenty
of fruit and vegetables and drink water
freely between meals. Be careful not
TO become constipated. Once week,
or oftener, give your face an astringent
treatment, by placing over 1t mask
OF clean absorbent cotton saturated
with an astringent lotion such as WITCH
hazel. Leave it on for 90 minutes.

Everyday Law Cases
When May Witness Be Held Liable
For Detdmdtory Testimony?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

In the Phipps divorce case, one of
the witnesses testified to an alleged
scanEalous incident involving Mrs.
Phipps. After the divorce hearing, Mrs.
Phipps entered suit for damages against
the witness, asserting that the testi-
mony was false and malicious. and was
made with the intent to defame.
The witness, Clara Selden, answering
Mrs. Phipps suit, admitted that she
testified as alleged In the divorce suit
but claimed that inasmuch as the testi-
mony was given in court she could not
be held liable. She also stated that the
testimony was given with a firm belief
in its truth, was in answer to a ques-
ton propounded to her by counsel, and
was without malice or Ill will to Mrs
Phipps.
The suit against Miss Selden was dis
missed by the court, who stated:
"A witness in the box is absolutely
privileged in answering all the questions
asked him by counsel on either side
But remark made by witness in the
box. wholly irrelevant to the matters in
inquiry. uncalled for by any question o:
counsel, and introduced by the witnes:
maliciously. for his own purposes, would
not be privileged. and would also, prob
ably, be contempt of court"

Canned Fruits
and Vegetables
Full of Vitamins, Should Be
Eaten Daily, Says Doctor

! DR.. Morris Fishbein. Editor of the
Journal of the American Medical
/ Association, recently wrote in the
New York Telegram about canned
fruits and vegetables. II all Of the
women could read this article, more
canning factories would have to be
built in a hurry.
He makes this startling statement:
! Canned tomatoes. and canned spin
ach have been tested three years
after canning and the evidence did
not indicate any appreciate loss In
yitamins. Indeed, the canned to-
matoes after three years were as
rich in vitamins as raw tomatoes.
/ Canned Strawberries were also found
| to equal raw Strawberries in vitamin
content" He describes how canned
cabbage, peas, spinach, apples and
peaches were shown to be rich in
Vitamin c.
Just think what wonderful news
this Is for all of us in this country
where canning has been developed
to such point Of perfection that
we can buy canned almost any fruit
or vegetable that is grown.
Serve your family literally with
canned fruits for breakfast and for
dessert, and serve them literally
with canned vegetables and fruits
for luncheon and dinner. Canned
peaches, apricots, apples, pears, or
Strawberries are delicious served
with cereals for breakfast and with
Ice cream for dessert. There Is
health in delicious canned fruits and
| vegetables. SWeeten the vegetables
to taste when preparing them for
serving. The Sugar Institute.-Ad-

 Duke let him play the first race on dope sheet information. Harold lost a few dollars: not enough to discourage him. On the second race his horse came in second. On the third he lost again. Then Duke took hand.
 He got Harold into room with private wire where he put in . mysterious call and pretended to wait nervously for a return call. When it came 1t was the returns on the fourth race. but to Harold. judging from Dukes end of the con- versation. 1t purported to be a hot tip.
 Duke declared he'd have to get the bet down quickly, but Harold was skeptical. "All right" Duke cried, I'm betting" and hurried out of the room.
 Harold followed. but at the door a man cutting across his path bumped sharply into him and knocked him back into the room. Look where you're going" the other snarled. and Harold told him angrily 10 watch his own step. The fellow wanted to fight and. so far as Harold knew. there might have been trouble if Duke had not returned and put stop to it.
 Which little diversion prevented Harold from finding out that Duke had placed his bet after the race was won. And when he learned that the horse he'd been advised to bet on had brought home first money at heavy odds he felt he'd been cheated out of a good thing.
 His irritation was directed at Huck, who appeared shortly after ward. If Huck had let him alone he'd have made a cleaning, Harold thought resentfully.
 Huck assured him he had an en- gagement at the hotel and couldn't stay. "A little game with some friends from Chicago" Huck e1-

 All right. What's the lay?" Duke grunted.
 Huck told him. And the next day when he introduced Harold to the place and turned him over to Duke because he himself had an im- portant engagement with MT. Raw lins." the boy was impressed with the attention he received as a friend of Huck's.
 The latter took him aside for a conference before he left. Harold had been told beforehand that Duke was merely g. patron of the place. the man who gave Huck his hot tips.
 II think this man Duke Is on the level" Huck said to him: but he may be only waiting until the time is ripe for big killing. Don't go in too deep. You can't trust these touts."
 Harold nodded. He couldn't get in very deep; his allowance was per- petually overdrawn. But it was a clever stroke on Huck' part to ques- tion Dukes honesty. It drew suspi- cion away from himself.
 When Duke took him in where the crowd moiled before the pro- gram charts on the wall, rushed from the bulletin boards to tele- phone booths. crowded around the announcer to get the telegrap phed dope on the entries, feverishly con- suited their dope sheets and finally made their bets.
