Northern California and Western Ore
gon today.
Weary fire fighters were spread out
along three sides of the town OF Ukiah,
rs miles north of here, holding back a
blaze which had threatened to invade
the city limits. The fire caused con-
siderable alarm until last night, when .
wind which had been driving 1t toward
the town died down.
M. 3. Pratt, State forester, said sec
ond fire east of the town had been sub
iued and that there would be no further
danger unless the wind freshened.
Another Fire Raging.
State forestry officials said other fires
were raging unchecked in Humboldt
County, Calf, not far from the Oregon
line and in Nevada County. The gen.

serious of the season.

acre blaze in the Mount Hood National
Forest. The Coos County blaze had de-
stroyed more than 1000 acres OF fir and
Port Oxford cedar.

Such an attitude is all right for moments of inspiration, or

But young gentlemen that would amount to something will

The attitude that Mussoin has is the attitude Of
man SMOKING He takes smoke into his mouth, tips his

DOESN'T THINK, while he is doing it.
Smoking at the right time, is all right especially when
It takes the place Of something
To forbid smoking which minmzes the of alcohol and

TIME little graveyard In very
still in the twilight.
It is a long time since anyone
was buried there and many of the
tombstones have fallen down.
Moss has grown in the chiseled
words and there is a litter of
weeds along the graveled paths.
The sun falls in pale, slanting
rays through the old cypress
trees. The shadows widen in
warm pools in the deep grass. A
bird chirps sleepily and then is
still.
1t is ,restful in the little grave
yard.
People wept there, once-wept
as their lives were torn apart.
But there are no tears now. Only
the quietness of a task that is
done.
Near the little graveyard there
is schoolhouse.

windows yesterday, and smiled as

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

MOTHERS often ask them
AVA selves the question VIC. r
adolescents-ssy from zen 20
seventeen-should receive various
foods in amount and variety diff
ferent from the earlier years.
Although it is important to
stress foods which contain sub
stance for growth. such as eggs,
milk, fruit, cereals, and vege-
tables, it may be said that the
adolescent, whether boy or girl,
should be given any wholesome
food no matter what its kind.
But one must stress the I'M
portance of giving food in right
amounts and at the right time
and that 1t be so prepared as 10
be readily digestible.
Since it is plain that children
in their teens are growing rapidly
and are developing rapidly from
childhood into adulthood, mothers
often have the mistaken notion
that children should he stuffed
with food az much as possible.
One continually hears mothers
encouraging children to eat more
and more even after the children
are satiated and insist that they
cannot take another mouthful.
To be sure, children have way
of developing dislike for certain
articles of diet, some not caring
for soup, others refusing to eat
spinach or carrots or whatever
it may be. Often such distaste is
the fault of the parents who have
allowed children to become picky
about their food in early years.
So long as you know that the
food is good for the child it is
proper for you to insist that he
eat it. Then, If he persists in re-
fusing, it is likewise proper to de-
prive him of his dessert which,
you may be sure, he always man.
ages to find room for.
But do not worry, my good par
ent, that your child is going to
starve. Even If an ordinarily
healthy child went without a meal
or two it would not do his sys.
tenn any harm, In fact, it might
do his system = great deal of
good. Occasional Gasting helps to
rid the intestinal tract of left
over and indigestible food ma
terials which should be eliminated.
When child is really hungry
he is sure to eat, and one Of the
best ways of overcoming finicky
appetites is to let the child starve
himself until he becomes really
hungry.
Another fault one finds among
adolescents as regards food intake
is irregular eating and hurried
eating.
Adults, of course, should eat at
regular times each day, for the
stomach seems somehow to pre-
pare itself for food at certain
habitual times. Particularly should
our young people pay attention to.
regular meals. Indigestion may
easily develop from careless nab.
it's in this respect.

and dreamed and fought and

Or speak of those discarded

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
What Every Woman Fears

What Every Woman Fears
WHY can't woman be frankly
w middle-aged?
WHY does she feel panicky at
the sight of the first gray hair or
the first wrinkle? Why does she
struggle frantically to hang onto
youth?
A man has no such tragic SEN
sations.
When he first espies that clus-
ter of snow above his ears, it may
give him a slight shock of sur
prise, but he is not in the least
appalled,. He is even a little
pleased with himself. He feels
that it makes him look interest
ing" And distinguished"
Catch HIM moving the mirror
hastily back from the window!
Why does a woman with a few
little smile.wrinkles around her
eyes and a pleasantly plump fig
ure feel a cold fear clutching at
her heart every time she glances
in the mirror?
Why does she feel almost apollo.
getic when she chances to find
herself In a group of flighty flap
pers and half-baked youths?
A MAN in the same group feels
only stimulated and popped up"
or amused or bored or superior,
according to his mood. He never
doubts for moment that he
could be any flapper's Ideal"
Not he!
He thanks heaven that he is no
"cake-eater."
Why does a. woman send out an
SOS to the beauty specialists,
and rush out and torture her hair,
wreck her health, have her face
carved up and remodeled, and shat
ter her peace of mind, the moment
she feels that Middle Age is about
to set its finger upon her?
A man breads growing OLD. He
breads the day when he will lose
his teeth and his knee-kicks; when
he may have to give up his
business and. most of his sports
and pleasures. That is perfectly
natural.
But he accepts. even welcomes,
middle age as the fruitful time of
his life: the time when he can re-
lax and enjoy the rewards of his
hard work. When he can take up
golf, let out his waisthand, dictate
to younger men. and impress the
world with his wisdom and i'm
portance and success.
:. Never for an instant does he
doubt his personal charm, his per-
ennial fascination for the fair sex
never, so long as he has the pep to
hobble out and buy necktie and
a carnation for his buttonhole!
Women may have the ballot,
wear knickerbockers, practice law
and make A million dollars; but
never will there be any real equal
ity between the sexes, until she can
learn to glory in her years as a
man does!
