70 weight more than a girl or woman
of lighter, daintier build with smaller
bones and lighter muscles.
In the last few years of dieting, slim
ness is earnestly sought after by many
seekers after beauty. Nevertheless, un-
derweight or sudden loss of weight is
highly undesirable in girl or woman,
and when 1t occurs without definite
cause is always to be viewed with
suspicion.
Each individual has a standard weight,
which for his type may be regarded as
normal 1t Is that weight at which
he remains when in the best state of
health. Suppose any sudden falling of
of weight occurs. No matter what the
cause, the first thing to do is consult
q physician for a thorough examination.
Special attention should be paid to the
state of the lungs, heart and alimentary
canal.
If organic disease is discovered the
next step is to examine the diet. Per-
haps in trying to lose weight you have
got into the habit of taking less food,
till in the end you are undernouriShed
and are really going through a semi
starvation period. This very often hap
pens in the case of young girls and
women who try to keep their weight
below normal and acquire an unnatural
SlimneSs. Sometimes people who live
alone feel that they cannot be bothered
to take as much food as they should
to keep them in health and strength.
In other cases. enough or too much
food is being taken, and yet there is
nnalnutrition. Sometimes chronic con-
stipation, the great enemy of sedentary
workers, is to blame. Attention to these
things and diet under your physicians
instructions will enable the digestion
to make a fresh start.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

Our language is built OF separate
words. Now some of those words are
beautiful because of their associations.
History, the long story of their service
to mankind, gives them a halo of ro-
nance and romance Is beautiful There
are, too, some ugly words, and they, too,
have a history, not so beautiful. If we
would make our speech pleasant to the
ears of others-and why speak other
wise ?-we need to select beautiful words.
Listening TO people talk gives us q
great deal. In few moments we decide
whether or not we care to listen longer.
If the words of the story teller have no
beauty for our ears we turn away. If
they have beauty We gather in the words
that seem good and treasure them as
our own. In that way boys and girls
learn to choose fine words.
Fine words are not necessarily big
ones. To me some of the best ones are
very short and simple sounding like man
and woman and child; love and work
and play; sweet and blithe and bonny;
grand, majestic and noble. Those words
have music to my ears that no sub
stitute word can reach. When a slang
word Is used for any such word it hurts
my ears and I close them promptly,
being very choice of them.
Reading poetry Is very good way to
gather good words, beautiful words. I
mean the poetry of the masters. You
will flnd beautiful expressions used in
the Psalms of the Bible, in Shakespeare,
Tennyson, Shelly, Stevenson, Millay.
The list Is long, long one, and the
language stored in the poems a veritable
treasure.
Prose writer's who love their work
select fine words. Have you read Hud-
sons Far Away and Long Ago.? Are
not the words of the title beautiful? Say
them over to yourself slowly and think
what they call to your mind. I wish
every boy and girl who can read an
eighth grade book would read that book
of HudSon's and after he has read it
through, go over it for the beauty of
its Language. so simple, so clear, and
so fitting.
And do you know Christopher Nor
ley's writing? Take any of his books
and read it swiftly through for its de-
lightful story and then again, 60 halt
ingly through, stopping at each bit of
lovely prose to get its full value in word

Everyday Psychology

Curing Insomnia.

Sleep is, after all, not nearly so i'm
portant as some would have you be-
lieve. Rest is the important thing: And
you can get great deal of the required
amount of rest without bothering about
becoming unconscious.
Aside from all this, there are times
when you suffer more or less from in
somnia, or the inability to sleep.
1t has been estimated that about nine
tenths of all your insomnia may be due
to your worrying about 1t.
In this respect insomnia, like any
other ailment, is magnifled by thinking
about 1t. Opiates should never be re-
sorted to-, except on the advice of your
physician.
Sleep is largely habit. Insomnia is
very generally Reorganization of your
