the body Is walking wireless inStru-
ment capable of sending out and re-
cetv1nR messages. It occurs to me that
now, at the beginning Of the New Year.
it might be well to consider what mes
sages we would like to send out and
what receive. Surely here Is something
in the discovery of 1929 that can help
us to promote happiness in 1890, some
thing that we ourselves can experiment
with and see how we can make the
discovery Of value in our lives.
The first thing is to ind out Just
what we want in 1880. The next thing
Is to see If we can do the sort of thing
that will make us receiving station for
our wishes. There Is the old saying,
Like attracts like" Perhaps this Is
truer than we now believe 1t Is worth
trying to attract what we want. II we
want health, the way to attract it. or
to tune in and receive it, is to think
healthful thoughts and to refrain from
thinking or doing things that will shut
OF the connection and hinder health
from being ours.
If we want riches, think of them. not
Of the lack of them. No one ever got
rich by thinking how poor he was.
This is certain. So experiment. Let
us try thinking of the things we have
that are estimated valuable, Of possible
avenues within ourselves and our
range that would set in motion the
right air waves of riches.
Send out rich thoughts and be ready
to receive rich ideas. The person who
is poor and who gets riches will be
found to have had a mind rich In ideas.
He sent out rich thought and action
messages and he received richer ideas
and their value in money.
If success Is wanted think Of WAYS
and means of succeeding, not obstacles
and distractions to success. To receive
the wireless messages that are around
us we must not shut of the connection.
but think what we desire, not OCCASION
ally but frequently, and suit our actions
to our thoughts. Perhaps, no, let us
put in Stronger-probably our thoughts
and experiments will make this truly
for us and ours q happy new year
indeed.

of the year. Yet how many people, do
you suppose, have no $25 in the bank
though they've been working for many
years? More than we like to count
If you are afflicted with the low
salary excuse. let it rule you for short
while, but anyway save a small weekly
sum. What you'd spend on fattening
sweets, or cheap perfume, or gaudy
fake jewelry, slip into an envelope
every week, or a dime savings bank, or
a stocking. Then forget about its ex-
iStence until your next regular deposit
is due. When you've saved a dollar
or more take 1t post-haSte to the bank,
and forget 1t again. Salary won't
interfere much with your saving.
Suppose you have reached the limit
OF your earning capacity, what will
you do in later years when your earn
ing capacity has diminished? You'll
regret bitterly these happy days when
you spent what should have been
saved. II your limit has been reached
you must save regardless of what
seems possible and what seems un-
reasonable. When next you consider
saving, and don't postpone doing so,
don't be weak enough to fall back on
the low-salary alibi. You will only fool
yourself and rob yourself of future in
dependence.

by MYRTLE MEYER ELDRRD.

The years ny so rapidly that one
needs wings to keep up with their
changes. 1t Is exciting and stimulat-
ing to live in this swiftly moving age,
to see new ideas flower overnight, new
modes Of travel and new customs and
manners taking the place of those to
which the middle generation has become
accustomed.
The older we get the more we hate
change. 1t is uncomfortable and trou-
blesome to step out of ones familiar
groove OF either thinking or acting and
follow new and diStracting paths. It is
the parent who has the most difIicult
role, for she needs must keep In tune
not only with this new consciousness
of the child and his prominent role in
the home, but with the child himself,
who is growing up in new world
Each year demands something of us,
and 1880 is demanding imperatively
that We keep an open mind and have a
willingness to be taught. There are so
many new things to learn. so many
new trends in dealing with children
and their daily problems that one has
to be constantly on the alert.
But there are some things which
aren't bounded by years or even actual
knoWledge-Some things which we be-
lieve should be intuitive in the sensitive
mother. One of these is a realization
that babies never are and never have
been playthingS to be exploited by par
ents for their own selfish pleasure. The
real mother doesn't need to be told this,
she knows it by that much abused word,
instinct" We can understand, then,
that the letter We are printing might
have been printed 10 years ago and
still be timely.
Dear Mrs. Eldred," Mrs. A. B. writes,
"this gets me hot I took care of a
neighbours baby while she went down
town. She is one year old, tall, thin,
pale, fretful. When the mother came
home she complained about the babys
hatred for bottles. told her I cooked
Sonny's cereal with milk, served the
cereal with it, used it in soups and
vegetables, and got a quart a day into
his diet without the use of any bottles
"She said, all disappearing, Doesn't
he eat with you?' 1 told her that his
meals never came at the same time as
ours, that he was always asleep at
night. She said, Poor little orphan,
our daddy would never stand for that.
When he comes home he wants his baby
right there
'She also said proudly that she gave
the baby something OF everything on the
table on Thanksgiving day. She claims
her baby will never be fat because she
is SO active. (If mine were any more so
I'd need cages.) Doesn't 1t seem strange
to hear a mother talk that way in
1902"
No doubt mothers will still be talking
that way in 1910. It is hard to con-
vince parents that babies are not de-
signed for their amusement and that
giving a child the foods from the table
doesn't constitute generosity but just
plain ignorance Of how to feed young
baby. And, of course, the excuse that
activity keeps a baby thin. is an excuse
as thin as the baby. All babies are ac-
tive, just bundles of energy, and they
keep on growing fat just as long as
| their diet meets their needs. Yes. we
agree that this mother isn't keeping up
with even 1920

Whitening Red Nose.

Every season seems TO have its spe-
cial beauty problems. In the Summer
marcel is apt to depart almost as
quickly as one has 1t put in: and now
that marcelS are lovely, milady COM
plains OF her nose, which, as one reader
puts 1t, began to bloom with the first
frost. and has been gaining steadily In
ruddineSS ever since"
Such q beauty blemish Is most an
moving, so let's see what can be done
to tone down this red nose. In the first
place, let's work from causes rather
than try to apply something from the
outside, and only paint the nose, rather
than cure 1t. One of the most frequent
causes Is poor circulation; and, II one
has cold hands and feet, and also q
blooming nose, she can be almost sure
that the cause Is poor circulation. A
good way to stimulate sluggish cir
culation Is to inhale and exhale force
fully in rhythm with ones walking out
of doors. and make 1t q point to take a
walk out Of doors every day.
AS indigestion Is another frequent
cause, the girl or woman with q red
nose must also pay strict attention to
her diet. Avoid rich, spicy foods,
stimulating beverages and large help
ingS OF meat. Eat simple. plainly pre-
pared foods. with a great amount of
leafy vegetables, and fresh raw fruits.
In their efforts to acquire the new
silhouette many have been guilty of
wearing clothing which is too tight;
and very often milady has to pay the
price for this by acquiring a red nose,
for tight clothing always interferes
with circulation.
After making sure that any Of the
above causes have been remedied, the
next step Is care Of the skin itself.
The following ointment applied to the
nose will be helpful: Mix together one
and one-half ounces of zinc ointment,
two and one-half drains powdered
starch, one dram powdered sulphur,
five drops oil of rose. Mix to a smooth
salve. Apply at bedtime after cleansing
the race: The next morning wash the
race with warm water; then rinse in

candlelight. Pure white candles were

The snow man was made by taking

high. He was padded with cotton.
Over this was put well crushed and
crinkled white crepe paper. BulgeS
were made Cor arms, tucked apparently
into overcoaApoc for warmth.
The buttons of the coat were of black
crepe paper. Small wads of this same
paper made his features. He smirked
over his necktie of broad blue ribbon.

My NeighbOr Says:

The best way to treat scratches
on furniture is to apply a mixture
OF beeswax and turpentine, the
former melted in the turpentine
until 1t is as thick as sirup. Pour
little onto a piece of wooden
cloth and rub it well into the
scratched part. Then polish
quickly with dry flannel and the
marks will almost disappear.
Do not remove wood ashes that
accumulate in your fireplace.
Pile them up and burn wood on
top of them. Ashes retain heat,
which is sent out into the room.
