From Washington again we learn
A secret of immortal life.
To his example still we turn,
Peaceful; yet fearless in the strife.
His Memory cannot fade away,
Though with new cares the world is
fraught.
With every patriotic word today
He lives in spirit, in the thought
A President-elect must find,
For duties that are to be met,
Men, each Of clear and forceful mind,
Worthy to grace the Cabinet.
Courage and scholarship are shared
BY any fit for such demands.
Yet, when he says, who is prepared9"
Thousands are holding up their hands.
A visitor to this D. c.
To view the city went.
Admiring, he appeared to be,
OF many a monument.

FLAMING YOUTH VS.. sBl0LDER.

Parents have always been willing 70

believes that bad" boys are developed
by the environment and training after

Children are never good children
when they are suffering from en-
larged tonsils, adenoids, bronchitis.
colds, catarrah or any one Of the
multitude Of other disorders to which
children are subject. There Is no
doubt that these are the usual causes
Of many mental and moral defec-
tives. As soon Is the child has been
cured Of these definite physical de-
fects, there Il an immediate improve

tude. This has taken place without

type that ! have had under my super

The responsibility for the growing

make thorough study Of child train

quality which should really be en-

mistake Of trying to force children
into being miniature examples OF

It seems to me that most Of the
criticism Of the youth Of today arises

YOUR
CHILDREN
y NseM 6e,zs BU1s,
oH2o By MA Serviee,Ine

Does each Of your children have q
supply Of clean, whole. plain hand
kerchiefs-the kind that is not to fine
for use and that has no fancy colors
or stitching that will run in the boil
ing.
Every child should have ct least q
dozen and q enough for him to
help himself to Z clean one twice q
day.
Don't hold up your hands and talk
about the washing. Better washing
than doctor bills, and II necessary the
hAndkerchiefs can be dried evenly,
folded neatly In squares, and used
without ironing. They will not be
quite 80 absorbent nor 70 soothing to
sore little noses, but Ut least they are
clean and antiseptic. and that's the
big thing In these days Of influenza
and head colds. AS to expense, you
can get some good ones for nickle
apiece.
Learn Absut Hankies!
Handkerchief education Is import
ant: more than that. necessary. And
yet children 60 daily from homes
where napkin and towel service Is
given the strictest attention, without
q handkerchief in their pockets, Or
else some flimsy little excuse Of one
that becomes soiled and wrinkled
with one blowing. and stays 50.
The first thing d to see that each
child has 4 substantial clean hand
kerchief. and II that one has been
USED, another at noon.
The second thing Is to teach him
that when he coughs or sneezes he
must use his handkerchief to cough
or sneeze into.
School rooms are more Or less
germy. New systems Of ventilating
and the custom Of flushing" the
room occasionally with pure outside
air, help Z great deal. but it would
be impossible to keep the air entirely
germ free. Every time your child
sneezes Or coughs into It, he adds to
the collection.
With clean handkerchiefs should
60 clean hands. Make the children
wash their hands thoroughly. and
often, particularly just before meals.

OBEYING THE CONSTITUTION

You might keep careful eye Congress during the
next few days Just what It does with the Fem
reappontment measure
During the past presidential campaign we had a great
deal Of talk about the necessity Of obeying constu
ton. The Fem bill provides excellent test to
whether the people who praised the constitution loudly
willing to live up to its provisions The constitu-
ton requires reapportonment: congressman who votes
against the Fem bill has little license to call other parts
Of the constitution sacrosanct.
There is real valid argument against the Fem bill
It's ultimate fate will be good Of the integrity
and conscientiousness Of Congress.

Harry s. Lehr recently died In Baltimore. leaving

vited friends to formal dinner for monkey At an
other time he feted white mule in similar fashion, Once
he waded in lawn fountain clad In evening dress And
to the great amusement Of earlier generation.
Given half dozen decades out Of all eternity to do
something notable and worthy often get off
