FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

Tnere Is great deal Of sound sense in Senator
5orah's proposal that the United States and England
make sincere effort to get together on the
cussed freedom Of the seas" ISSUE
throughout oil their history the two nations have held
oHerlne views on this subject Once-durng the Amer
can Civll war-they reversed themselves the Englis,
adopting the traditional American attitude and the
americans taxing the time-honored British attitude
But always they have looked at the thing from
viewpoints
Inere Is good deal to be said for the senator's

HOW TO GAIN STRENGTH

Almost every patient who consult.
Ia doctor complains Of being weak
and curiously expects to become
strong Immediately because of some
food or tonic he hopes the doctor vii
give him for building strength.
1t is very difficult for a patient
to understand that there Is no par
ticular kind Of food which contains
an inherent quality for supply.
ing strength. If you expect to be-
come strong through the use of large
quantities Of starches and sugars you
will be disappointed, as these foods
do not contain any mysterious source
Of strength which can be transmitted
to the body. A drink Of whiskey will
supply as much stimulation as one
can get at any time from using any
OF the blood tonics which are sold to
those who are enervated. In fact,
most of these blood tonics contain
from 20eo to 40rs alcohol. Such
stimulation, however, is no evidence
Of increased strength.
The one who wishes to increase his
strength must realize that there are
certain bad habits which must be
overcome and good habits substi-
tuted in their place. This change
cannot take place within a day or
two. If you feel strong immediately
after making a change in your diet,
or having a peculiar kind of treat
ment, or a special prescription of
medicine, you may be sure that this
apparent strength is only a matter
of stimulation and this effect will
wear off and you will become even
weaker than before unless, at the
same time, you change your living
habits or overcome the disease re-
sponsible for your weakness.
1t is good plan to use vigorous
physical exercises each day. BY in
creasing your muscular system you
will find that your strength and vi
tality improve at the same time. |
Long walks in the open air are to

ALLENE SUMNER

Sir Joseph Duveen, famous art ex-
pert, who recently defended himself
against 100000 suit for SANDER of
title, found himself in one of the
worst pickles known to man. For he
had dared to say that certain pic
ture owned by certain Mrs. Andree
Lardoux Hahn was not a genuine da
Vin"i canvas as the lady insisted.
Sir Joseph encountered that most
difficult of all human beings to
swcrve-a woman who has always
labeled some possession as genuine
and who from the mere fact that she
SO labeled it, will never admit that
she was wrong. The pride of pos
session is so strong in women that it
is almost inevitable that they create
possessions of which to be proud if
they do not exist.
We sall know women who create
proud family trees, adding a leaf and
twig here and there to the general
hazy idea that they are great-grand
daughters of the giants of the past.

the strength of a courteous letter

because of a common name and an
attempt to trace relationship, has by

dren and grandchildren that this
senator is first cousin of her father.

with herself as child visiting in his

taken to the Capitol by him, handled

If anyone suggested that this good
soul was a candidate for an Ananias

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Nursing Mother

Question: Mother asks: as there
any rule for q nursing mother to
follow as regards diet?"
Answer: There are many rules
which it is important for Z nursing
mother to follow. She has 4 double
duty--first, the obligation to her child
and then the duty to herself to keep
well at this time and avoid injury
to her system caused through feed
ing her baby from her own blood
without supplying 1t with the neces-
sary elements to replace and repair
tissues. l have written many special
articles on this subject, and will be
glad to send them to you if you will
only write again, giving me your full
name and address.
Mustard Greens
Question: v. w. writes: "Aftcr
p cking and later eating wild mustard
green's have something that re-
sembles poison oak breaking out on
my arm rear the wrist. Tell me II
1t is safe to pick wild greens in the
country and Of the dietetic value of
wild greens. especially wild mustard.
Also, can you tell me why the wild
mustard has such strong taste even
when very young and tender?"
Answer: There are many wild
greens that are safe to use if YOU
have knowledge Of botany and
understand how to pick out these
greens. Wild mustard is always
stronger than the cultivated variety.
In your own case it would probably
not be wise for you to search for
greens II your skin is so sensitive to
poison oaks.
Snoring. . Symptom
Question: Reader asks: SIS snor-
ing . disease? II it is, can it be
.ured?"
Answer: Snoring is usually a
symptom Of catarrh Of the mucous
membranes Of the nose and throat.
I can generally be cured through
letting if there are not definite OBJ
in the nose, such as en-.
arged turbinate bones.

Everyday Psychology

Failures and Successes.

Most men classed as failures owe
their failures to themselves. On the
other hand, many men classed as sue
cesses by the ordinary standards Of
measure public opinionJ are really fall
ures. To put these two propositions an
other way. failures are often personal
eventualities. successes very frequently
social eventualities.
Among my acquaintance I am able
great successes II they could only sum-
mon the courage to cut themselves away
from their present ties. Lacking that
courage, they live along from year to
year, apparently satisfied to stick to
their routine employment. They are
slaves and they know it. They right
fully regard themselves as failures.
Also, among my acquaintance can
count scores of men who are getting
along well, who, resting on the protect
ing arms of some established concern,
are said TO be successes. They make
good living, so far as bread and butter
contribute to q living. The worst part
of it is they seem to harbor the suspi-
cion that their success, measured by
conventional standards, is really due to
their own efforts-tkeir own inherent
worth.
Now and then see one of these in
stitutional successes suddenly thrown
upon his own resources. The result Is
disastrous. He finds that what he
thought was success was something else.
But what that something else was, he
seems not to have the slightest idea.
The psychology Of success and failure
Is hidden aEay in the innermost re-
sources Of ones personality. Fear and
courage are the emotions concerned.
Failures fail, first of all, to fear Alright.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
Even-Handed Justice.

There were four children in the
family, all healthy, industrious chill
dren who did good work In school and
gave little trouble at home. But the
youngest child was different from all
the others in that she did everything
q little bit better. Whatever she
touched bore traces Of beauty. When
she set the table, although the service
was always the same, the table took
on an air OF grace and dignity that
spelled beauty.
Il think that Grace ought to 20 to
art school, Mrs. Darling" said the
distinct talent. It may be that she
has great talent. I wish you could
self out"
THAT would mean going away from
home To get such training, wouldn't IT."
Yes. She would have to 60 to the
city and by and by. If she has the
farther afield."
And that would cost money. More
money than we are spending on the
other children, wouldn't it,"
Yes, unless they took some special
course: understand none Of them ex-
poets to do So"
mo. They have picked out their
work. I'll talk to father about IL.
You see we believe in even handed
justice where the children are con-
cerned. Share and share alike. It
isn't that we couldn't give Grace that
course-well, I'll talk to father"
That night after dinner mother and
father had q talk about it all. Very
much troubled about what the children
might think If they favored one above
the others they finally decided to ask
them about it. Gravely the young
things listened. Nodded their heads
wisely. Thought an instant. Then
Benjamin, the oldest spoke up. Dad,
each Of US Is going to do what he
wished to do. Grace ought to have
that privilege If we 60 on that basis.
1t isn't what the course costs that
can do best that's the justice. Seems
to me?"
"Yes." said sister Bess. "It's the
even chance that counts" and the
silent member Of the firm, pudgy Tom,
wrinkled his jolly little eyes in q
crinkled smile and said, IF Grace
wants an art course isn't that her Just
right? If it takes a bit more money,
why we can each help little. It's q
poor family that can't boast one star.
Stars come high. Let's CO."
When you think 1t over there must
have been something more than an
even-handed justice. in family that
could term 1t like that. It must have
same pram? Justice and love are akin
in that both are blind-to material
things.
