Reaching State of Contentment
~ LYDIA Ii BARON WALKER.

worthwhile matter TO dwell upon and
what must be cast aside as worthless.
| To dwell upon matters that are really
insignificant is wasteful of mental en-
ergy, and this energy Is Of inestimable
value. It is the force and power that
makes masters Of industry and Is
homemaker's treasure. 1t keeps the
wheels of manual labor working EN-
GENTLY.
To store this energy woman must
know how to value her mind. She can
not fritter her thoughts away on petty
things. This leaves little time for the
important things which, handled right
ly, make for happiness and content
ment.
Among the worthless things that
clutter the mind Is too much concern
about what ones friends are doing. II
woman Is letting the thoughts be
filled with trivial matters of this sort
and talks about them, a woman becomes
a gossip, and whoever heard OF gossip
becoming great in any occupation? Also
to be constantly thinking of And he
said" "And she said" with the gaps
between filled with repetitions OF sec
ond-hand conversations, lessons ones
grasp on what is important
Unless q person can be of help to q
friend in trouble or enter into her
pleasures, it Is a mistake to get too
much involved in the events of her
life, since this frequently means the
neglect of matters of vital Importance
in her own life. There is friendly
interest in whatever is Of moment to
those one knows. that Is apart from
this recounting Of other peoples affairs
Milling over the events In ones own
life kills contentment and happiness.
There are always matters Of more I'M
portance to think about than the de-
tails of a past happening. Give 1t its
due thought, but learn that It does not
pay to dwell on past things Pick out
the happy results of the event and
treasure them. They are the elements
of value. They will bring pleasure to
dwell upon.
If you would be content and happy,
learn to think constructively. Center
the thoughts on subjects that will bring
results desired. It may be that one
wants money. Spend your time In plan
ming how to get 1t, not in repining be-
cause you do not have 1t. The latter
are worthless thoughts, the former
valuable.
Learn to think of health, prosperity,
the fine traits Of your friends, the ways
in which you can help those nearest
and dearest to you and those who you
know are passing through deep waters.
Assert your thoughts as you would your
possessions Hold on to those that you
want to keep, give second place to those
of less importance and discard the
worthless. Have mental house clean
ing and take fresh start and learn the
secret of valuing your thoughts.

Your Baby and Mine

Unless baby Is taking one Of the ir-
radiated oils, it is very possible that
his mother is bewailing cod liver oil
stains. There are many ways Of giving
cod liver oil. and it Is timely to men,
ton them now. II only one-half tea
spoonful Is given at dose, the oil may
be kept chilled and the dosage shot
far back into the child's mouth by
means Of q medicine dropper. Use q
dropper with q short, straight glass
stem, washing and boiling it after each
dose. Mothers who have used this
method speak highly of it. The baby
gets little taste Of the oil and, because
1t Is far back on the tongue, 1t slips
down easily.
instead Of on an empty stomach it Is
more apt to stay down. The baby
should wear bib when taking the oil,
and an oilcloth, one of generous size
is good.
Giving the oil when baby is in the
bath Is another method, but means that
baby would have the oil on an empty
stomach and would be subject to a good
deal OF necessary activity during the
bath, so this method very often results
In baby's splitting up the oil.
1t Is possible to give the oil with the
formula, with orange juice or with
other fruit juices. I consider this q
poor thing to do, as q rule, for II baby
dislikes the oil, he also dislikes the food
In which it has been administered. 1t
Is better to stick to the plain or favored
oil and to give small doses alone.
Our leaflet on Methods of Removing
Cod Liver Oil and Other Stains" is ex-
tremely helpful, for such spots seem
bound to appear despite the utmost
care. If you wish the leaflet, send a
self-addressed, stamped envelope with
your request to Myrtle Meyer Eldred,
Your Baby and Mine" department of
this newspaper.
The young baby is given cod liver oil
persistently these days, beginning at
the second month. Young babies are
without sense, of discrimination and cod
liver oil is accepted without protest.
The mothers attitude is influential,
however, for II she administers the dos
age with an expression of disgust, baby
isn't going to gobble 1t up as if it were
ambrosia. The older the child grows.
the more finicky he becomes about new
tastes and new foods, and the dosing of
oil for this young independent creature
is often a real struggle.
All babies, whether breast or bottle
fed, need cod liver oil, and 1t behooves
the mother to mask her own distaste
and start 1t early enough in baby's life
to prevent the development of ricketts,
and also to forestall that growing sense
of taste and discrimination which
makes cod liver oil dosing q daily
battle.

A Sermon for Today
Daughters.

Ohuk uICAss
THAT our daughters may be a. cor
ner stones, polished after the similitude
Of a palace. palms, 144:12.
David here gives us q picture Of idea
womanhood. He desires that our daugh'
tiers shall be. as corner stones or col
umns. hewn and polished after the
fashion of a palace.
There is here the idea of beauty
Beauty is an asset Of great value
Physical beauty in face and figure, a1c
beauty in dress and manners are desir'
able, and should be given careful con.
sideration. There is no virtue in I'm.
necessary ugliness of face and form anc
fashion. But true beauty is not simply
skin deep, 1t Is the outward expression
Of q cultured and beautiful soul. Purity
Of mind and heart secures the highest
beauty.
There is here also the idea OF
strength. Bodily vigor Is part of their
desirable strength. Habits which de-
stroy 1t are a dishonor to womanhood
Strength of mind Is not less desirable
The day has passed when we speak
patronizingly of the intellectual attain
ments of women. They are today win
ming honors everywhere in the educa-
tional world, even in the higher
branches Of science. Moral force, how
ever. is woman's highest element OF
strength. Physical health and mental
vigor, with strong moral character a.
the GROWING element, make the ideal
woman. Such woman Is, indeed. a
corner stone, q pillar of support. She
can hold the home together and make
1t secure against every disrupting and
defiling influence. She can hold up the
structure Of society, and be a mighty
support to the state.
But when shall cur daughters be such
corner stones? Only when by faith
they become united to Christ as the
chief corner stone. Women Of worldly
ideals lose their crown Of glory. Only
women with Christian ideals attain the
highest womanly strength, dignity and
honor. And they are the women who
are the corner stones Of the home and
society.

Peter Has His Turn.

PETER RABBIT.

Peter had been laughed at and made
fun Of and leased until it was q wonder
his disposition was not wholly spoiled.
It was all because he had insisted that
one night over in the Green Forest he
had heard a new song. Anyway, it was
new to him, for he had never heard it
before He hadn't seen the singers and
when he had told his friends about that
song and asked them II they had seen
. feathered stranger in the Green For
est they had made fun Of him and In
sisted that he had been dreaming.
Peter had had to stand great deal,
but now 1t was his turn.
The very ones who had done most OF
the teasing were now over in the Green
Forest near the big old stump where
Peter had first heard that song. Their
curiosity had been aroused and they
had followed Peter over there early this
morning pretending that they had Just
happened around that way. And Just
when they had about made up their
minds that they bad just wasted their
time and followed Peter for nothing,

There Is. In my observation. one large
danger to her. and that Is the one %
getting overtired. We women marry
and work and then try 10 run our
houses as though we had all the time
that other women have. And we get
exhausted.
And those women who have children
are even more likely to overdo. But it's
not an inSuperable difnculty. The
trouble comes about because work In
offices Is still so new to women. When
We get thoroughly used to It we will
learn how to do IL without that supreme
exhaustion which makes US either tr-
ritable or i'll.
But, as said, from the employers
side married women are better than
single ones. No one doubts that q mar
ried man is better than an unmarried
one; why shouldn't the same be true
of women?
And this truth need not worry the
single women because most OF them
will marry before long.

there came pretty little warbling song
from among some bushes growing
around and nearly hiding an old stump
Every one stopped what he happened
to be doing that he might listen.
Blacky the Crow sat like black image
In the top Of tall pine tree. Sammy
Jay didn't move q feather. Drummer
the Woodpecker chung to the side Of
the old stump as If he were a part of
it. Yank Yank the Nuthatch, who had
been coming head first down the trunk
of tree, stopped right where he was,
head down. Tommy Tit the Chickadee,
who is a little feathered acrobat chung
motionless upside down to the tip Of
hemlock branch.
For two or three minutes no one
moved. Then Peter Rabbit grinned.
well" said he, did you all hear 1t or
did you all dream that you heard it?''
Before any one could find his tongue
to reply the song was heard again. This
time 1t seemed to come from back of q
little hemlock tree. Sammy Jay came
to life abruptly. Hardly had that song
ended when Sammy darted down to
that little hemlock tree to hnd that
singer. There are no sharper, quicker
eyes in all the Green Forest than those
CT Sammy Jay. He hadn't doubt that
he would find that singer You can
guess his surprise and chagrin when
he failed to find any one but Whitefoot
the Wood Mouse, and Whitefoot was
running along one of his private little
paths and whisked out Of sight in a
hole in the ground.
There Is no one here" declared
Sammy.
At once the others few over to aid
in the search. They looked high and
low and for a considerable distance
around. but they found no one. In the
midst of their searching that same lit
tie song was heard once more. It
seemed to come from the big, old
stump. There was a rush TO get there
first. but when they did get there only
Whitefoot was to be seen and he was
carefully making his toilet.
Who was that singing over here?"
demanded Sammy Jay.
There was look of surprise on
Whitefoot's face as he asked inno-
Gently, WAS some one singing?"
You must to have been dreaming,
Sammy Jay. You must have dreamed
that you heard some one singing"
spoke up Peter Rabbit, and turned his
head to hide a grin.
HE didn't. for I heard IT," cried
Tommy Tit the Chickadee.
And l." declared Drummer the
Woodpecker.
And l." added Yank Yank the Nut
hatch.
Dear me, could it be that you all
were asleep and had the same drean?"
asked Peter. Peter was having his turn
at teasing now and he was making the
most Of 1t. Yes, indeed, Peter was
having his turn.

JONAH'S WHALE
HERE, CLAIM
. staff Photo

Believe it or not, he's the very
one that swallowed Jonah!
Yes, sir! He weighs 6S tons.
He's SIS feet long.
Altogether, ladies and gentle
men, he's what you might call
whale of a whale! Embalmed
and in a perfect state Of pres
ervation, exactly as he looked
when the wnalers dragged him
out of the briny deep off the
coast of Southern California.
You can see him on the sid
ings Of the Pennsylvania railroad
at Fourteenth Street Southwest,
opposite the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing.
The walloping fellow disports
himself in a vast, especially built
all-steel railroad car. And if
you've never seen whale, just
step up to the Bureau Of En-
craving locale at 8 a. m. tomor-
row or any day within the next
two weeks between ga. m. and
midnight, and see for yourself
what Jonah's biblical apartment
looked like.
The monster was caught ABOUT
seven months ago off the coast Of
southern California, near the
Catalina Islands at a spot called
San Climineta, by the veteran
whaler Capt. w. w. Happy,
Counts Of the Pacific Whaling
Company, and then floared to
Smugglers Cove, where the en-
balming was done.
For hours. the fight went on
after the huge monster was har-
pooned, and not until the killer
boat" had been pulled distance
of over 20 miles was it possible to
Subdue the monster and lash him
alongside the killer-boat.
In explanation to the above,
Captain Dedrick stated that after
a whale has been harpooned, it is
imperative that they be kept alive
until after they are able to clash
it alongside" the killer-boat, else
their gigantic weight would cap
size the killer boat in sinking.
Furthermore, when the whale has
been pulled within about so feet
of the killer-boat, a second har-
poon is shot into the huge BODY,
carrying with il. an air line and
the massive body is mmetliately
inflated to keep 1t afloat.
