Guest LuncheOns

At this time of year children like to
have their friends come home with them
for luncheon. And the mother who
plans carefully can accomplish chill
dren's guest lunches without too much
trouble.
A few cakes Of milk chocolate on
hand will mean that little extra tidbit
can be added to the simplest home
lunch. Most children like milk shakes
and a can of one of the prepared milk
shake powders, chocolate favored. that
can be added to milk and beaten up
quickly will make this sort of treat al
ways possible.
Most children like jam, and so crack
ers and jam can be drawn on for an
other treat"
The substantial part of the lunch can
always be augmented by the addition
of a good dish of baked macaroni, or
hot rice with honey for dessert, or
French toast served with sirup. Chill
dren like these things, and they are
nourishing as well.

Relaxation. -

Beauty depends upon many things
and sometimes IL all seems so complt-
Gated that milady becomes discouraged.
With the host of creams and lotions
on the market, each claiming that in
its jars lies the secret of beauty, it is
no wonder that she sometimes raises
her arms In despair, scarcely knowing
which way to turn in order to make
the most Of that beauty with which
nature has endowed her.
But there is one essential to beauty
which cannot be purchased at the
most exclusive drug counter or beauty
salon in the world. 1t is more essen
tial, however. than anything which
money can buy and yet, though 1t is
that very reason) 1t is often neglected.
That essential is relaxation. Every
one knows people who seem never to
relax; they 60 through every day with
nerves taut and muscles tense. They
may sit down to rest but do they
relax? No, this is type which seldom
INDUCES in that luxury. If they have
nothing else to do they can usually
think of something to worry about, and
facial lines as well as other more Serl-
Gus ills. AS one medical authority
has put 1t. Though we may feel that
We have developed a long way from
the lower animals, there are many
things which we could we'll learn from
them. One of the most important
things humanity could learn would be
to cease worrying. AS far as is known
no bird ever tried to build more nests
than its neighbor; no fox ever fretted
because he had only one hole in which
to hide; no squirrel ever died of anxiety
lest he should not lay by enough nuts
for two winters instead Of one, and no
dog ever lost any sleep over the fact
that he did not have enough bones laid
aside for the declining years"
While such absolute freedom from
concern would not be practical for a
civilized race of human beings, surely
one may take the lesson seriously
enough to make it point to really
relax every muscle and every nerve for
few minutes each day. The remark,
sometimes she just SITS" has caused
many smile at the expense of the per-
son who is accused of doing nothing
but just sit. Well, maybe she'll be the
one who has the last laugh after all. It
would be a good thing IL every one
would follow her example for few
minutes daily Or, better still, lie down
to relax. If possible, lie in the posi-
ton OF an inclined plane, with the feet
elevated and the head down. Then
every muscle of the face will be leaning
way. Blood will naturally rush to the
head. thus stimulating circulation in
the scalp and facial muscles. But more
important than these benefits derived
from few minutes daily in this posi-
ton Is the perfect relaxation. Forget
every problem and every i'll which life
may have given you. Rest, rest and re-

Getting Weary by Proxy
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

attempting the job. A person who Is Ill
gets weary and so retards her recovery
when she does the work mentally that
she cannot do physically. She realizes
that extra work, her work, must fall on
some one else, and to that must be
added such care as she has to be given.
Really when you think Of 1t that way,
just the thought is tiresome.
The important thing is to find out
what can be done to avoid this getting
tired by proxy. One should realize
that the satisfaction of work accom-
plished Is actually so restful mentally,
that 1t reacts on the physique and di-
minishes the physical WEAKNESS that
the task might create. To have mind
body inactive. The onlooker, who is
powerless to prevent another from
working beyond what seems her
strength, should find consolation in
such an attitude.
The worker, on the other hand
should be wary of going against advice
not to attempt job, the doing of
which will be upsetting to those near
and dear to her. It is for the worker
the knowledge that she is working too
hard-or what seems too hard to others.
To be sure, being held back when one
wants to accomplish task is disturb
ing, but working under opposition adds
to fatigue.
The persons who in spite of all she
can say or do cannot prevent another
from attempting work that seems too
hard has two alternatives. One is to
fret and worry and get tired uselessly,
the other is to relax in the thought
that the worker has the right to follow
her own Judgment, and perhaps the
work will not be so tireson1e as she
fears.
The person who wishes to work should
be thoughtful of those about her and
see to it that she does not go beyond
her strength, but that she takes things
sufficiently easy to prevent others from
worrying. She should hesitate to give
reason for others on her account to get
tired by proxy.

Much Sound Wisdom
in Tagalog Proverbs

! Following are proverbs Of ancient
repute among the Tagalog people in
and around Manila: Nothing but
rust destroys iron. Thorns thrust
deep when the the step is swift.
Though you be far behind, wit may
put you ahead. A drunken man
may be twitted with impunity; not
so he who is awakened from sleep.
Noisy waters are always shallow.
Never seek fortune; If really yours
lit will come of itself. Even water
soaked wood will burn If left long
enough in the fire. Repentance
never precedes the folly. The saw
ings Of today are the comfort Of
tomorrow. Even rag, put away
in the closet, will turn up for good
use. The really wise will always
shame him who merely pretends to
wisdom. A small stool made of
sound wood is better than bishops
chair honeycombed with borers.
When a pullet begins laying eggs,

His Beard Too Close
!: When Tire Blew Out

| Probably the first man to devise
"a fluid to make automobile tires
Ipuncture proof was A. L. Dykes Of
ISt. Louis, a pioneer in the automo-
bile industry.
;, The earliest automobiles had
single-tube tires, made by bicycle
tire manufacturers and glued to the
rims Of the wheels, They pune
Itured with ease and frequency.
When that happened it was neces-
sary to stop, pry of the glued tire,
stick rubber bands In the hole and
glue them there, put the tire back,
glue it to the rim, and wait for the
glue to dry.
/, Dyke brought out a sticky sub
stance that could be squirted into
"a tire in place of air. But an ILL.,

was inspecting a tire thus filed
when it blew out. He threatened to
sue Dyke for the loss Of his beard,

Historic English Ports

] The Cirque ports were originally
five seaport towns on the coast Of
Kent and Sussex, England, called in
early times "the five most important
Ihavens in the kingdom" They were
enfranchised by Edward the Con-
fessor. William the ConquerOr
subsequently granted them the priv
ilege of an almost independent
state, under command Of warden,
with court at Dover castle. The
five ports were Sandwich, Dover,
Hythe, Romney and Hastings. Win
chelsea and Rye were added later.
up to the reign Of Henry VII their
chief function was the supply of
the country's naval contingent.
Dating from the revolution of 1858
their privileges were gradually
abolished. The lord warden's juris-
diction ceased in 1885.

Two Million Dollars More
for Country Road Of State
Increase in Gasoline Tax Would
Give Twice as Much for Inn
| provement of Side Roads

Improvement of the secondary
roads throughout Minnesota would
be given big impetus under the
bill now before the legislature for
an increase in the gasoline tax to
four cents.
The extent to which the change
will aid in the improvement of the
neglected side roads was made ap-
parent this week when figures were
compiled from reports of the oil
inspection department to show the
return that may be expected from
the Accent tax.
The present two-cent tax will
bring in about $6,000,000 during
the coming year, it is estimated on
the basis of these reports. Since
adoption of the constitutional
amendment last fall, one-third of
the gasoline tax must he distribut-
ed out to the counties for use on
roads outside the present trunk
highway and state aid systems sin
other words, the great system Of
township and county roads that
the farmers depend upon so much.
That means close to $4,000 will be
distributed out to the counties un-
der the present law.
Adding another two cents to the
gasoline tax means adding just
another 100000 to the fund
to be distributed out to the coun-
ties for use on the secondary
roads. In other words, the coun-
ties will receive approximately $4,-
100000 a year for the side roads
under the proposed tax.
Discovery of this fact has caus-
ed a marked change in sentiment
among country members of the
Legislature on the question Of in
creasing the gasoline tax. Mem
bers from the rural districts who
used to oppose any change in the
tax now are joining in urging a
four-cent tax because of the great
share that would go to improve
ment of the rural roads.
81 have been surprised at the
sentiment for four-cent tax"
Senator &C.. E. Adams, chairman of
the senate highways committee,
said. The country members, in
particular, are asking for it. But
then can't blame them for sup
