ton, which possibly might pass through

ever surpassed her.
Though born in the purple, the
daughter of the great and good Ger

her to constant scheming.
Her wickedness seems to have been
inherited from her mother, Agrippina,
granddaughter Of Augustus. 1t throve
through her marriage to Domitius.
Domitius was unbelievably cruel
Once he killed freedman for refusing
to drink as much as he ordered him.
Another time, on the Appian Way, he

too readily convinced that a person

Both of these traditions are unfounded.
Some food may be more attractive to
taste hot, but some food is more at
tractive cold. Certainly a cool or un-
heated lunch or dinner digests as well,
or in many cases better, than a hot
one. So this hot meals tradition Is
merely a shrewd bear movement on the
dinner pail. BY the way, I'd like to see
a working man with the courage TO
carry his midday meal or meals In

so many working men nowadays strive
to look like sic Office boys and seem a
little ashamed that they're drawing $50

I've served my time in the workshop,

in the days of real slavery, when a boy

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
BY FANNY 7. CORY.

At S years the child should be able
to dress with comparative ease. OBJ
viously he can't reach that stage with
out constant practice, and unless the
child is allowed to tumble with sleeves
and panty legs, putting the wrong arm
or leg in until he works out the puzzle,
he. can't possibly become competent In
this task.
Taking shoes on and of is a de-
lightful game to children when they
first learn it. They should be allowed
to play it as often as they like until
terest in pursuing it as game.
Bent on manufacturing disobedience
where none exists, Mrs. E. w. writes:
MY little girl is 215 years old and has
a great habit of taking her shoes on.
1 have scolded and punished her for it,
but she takes them off again and again
and brings them to me to show me that
she has done it. If I say, Now you
have to sit in the chair for doing that,
she says, I'll sit there now What
would you do with her?"
First of all, be very, very sure that
the child's shoes are comfortable. They
may be too short or too narrow ana
really distress her, so that relief comes
only when she removes them. The
insides may be rough from nal!s or stli1
bits of canvas or Fuckers which can't
be felt without investigation.
This is such a perfectly harmless
procedure that see no reason for max
ing such a fuss. Why call it a mis-
demeanor? Let her put on and take
off her SHOES to her hearts content
until she is satisfied to keep them on
(provided you know they are comfort
able). You are making dressing and
undressing q misdemeanor, when you
Yourself do this for her half dozen
times a day. How can you make her
understand the necessity for obedience
when something serious or dangerous Is
involved?
Taking off and putting on her shoes
is, at the moment pleasant pastlme
for the child and an education in future
usefulness. In this case you have SAID

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 6. IS65.-Steps are being
taken this Summer, 1t was announced
at the Interior Department To-Day, 10
provide Summer residence at once
near Washington City for PreSioent
johnson.
A letter from James Harlan, Secre-
tary of the Interior, to B. b. french
commissioner of public buildings, bear
ing upon this subject, was MADE puphc
today.
1T has been represented to me,
writes Secretary Harlan, that the
Executive Mansion is in an unhealthy
location for a Summer residence. as
has been attested by the experience OF
every family occupying 1t Tor long
encing severe and some OF them Iatal
sickness.
1T has come to my knowledge that
nearly every member OF the 1aml!y o.
the present Chief Executive President
Johnson, during the brief period they
have been occupying the Executlve
Mansion, has been visited with serious
illness, including the President In per.
son, to such an extent as to interrupt
public business for many days together:
You are. therefore, requested ano
directed, after consultation with the
President, and ascertaining tnat IL
would be agreeable to him. TO procure
suitable residence for his occupancy
during the Summer and Autumnal
months of the current fiscal year, on
Georgetown Heights, or such otner con-
venient and healthy location as he may
indicate, and to fit up the same Tor ms
convenience and comfort, being careiui
to avoid all unnecessary expense.
The principal reason for the alegeo
unhealthy location of the White House
in Summer is declared to be its prox-
unity to the City Canal and the large
swamps that are adjacent to the south
ern side of the White House grounds.
Army engineers say that so long as this
condition remains it is likely that the
location of the Executive Mansion Will
be unhealthy.
Already there is before Congress a
plan to fill in this swamp land. The
proposed improvement of the Washing
ton Channel, it is declared Will also be
a great benefit in this connection.

Tired Working Man.

"Dear Doctor: We used to hear lot
about the tired business man., but this
is about the tired working man. Imagine
being shut up in factory or workshop
for a half day at a time, toiling at
manual labor, and the seductive soda
fountain or lunch counter might as well
be in Mars or the moon as far as the
T. w. M. is concerned.
Many of us have craving for food
between meals, and some of us have
deliberately acquired the habit of chew
ing tobacco for the relief of that crav-
ing. Last Summer I tried few
sun baths on the roof. fixing up screen
on the fiat part of the roof and thus
getting Commute exposures without
giving the neighbors an eyeful. While
I was taking the sun baths found that
the craving for food between meals left
me, but it returned shortly after I dis
continued taking the sun.
Il believe you would confer benef1t
on thousands of working people If you
can suggest how to deal with that crav-
ing between meals. 1t is a sad thing
when we can no longer get kick out
Of our meals. T. E. j"
Half a day is four hours. Normally
O man or woman should feel satisfied
for five hours after a meal. If the meal
Is inadequate in certain respects mot
merely in nutritive value as ordinarily
UNDERSTOOD, the sense of hunger Is
likely to come back too soon.
Smoking or chewing tobacco does
tend to blunt that sense somewhat. At
the same time it tends to produce an
abnormal secretion of gastric juice
(when the tobacco habit has the victim)
and that effect often manifests itself as
such hunger pain when the stomach
is nearly empty. So you see the to-
bacco treatment merely gets you into a
vicious circle; the more treatment the
worse the trouble
The two important respects in which
the working mans food is likely to be
inadequate are. first, the matter OF
bulk or indigestible residue; and sec
ond. the matter of vitamins

The objection to the Objectionable
among the realistic novels and auto
biographies of today rests simply on the
bad manners of their authors. intel
lectually brave and honest people usually
are gracious also. Such authors are
under no compulsion to effect a COM
promise between truth, or realism, and
their art.
It is the others, whose pretentious
and bloated egos are spurious claims to
art and sincerity, who may properly be
viewed with suspicion. And their bad
manners are the sign by which they
may be justly classified, branded and
convicted.
Women who spend most Of their
time talking obviously have little time
left for thinking and the nature and
quality of their chattering makes the
point so much clearer.

Calling Upon Persons Who Are Ill
By LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

of the illness, and as soon as the friend
is able and would enjoy seeing her
friends, you will be delighted to call.
In the interim before that time
comes, you can keep informed about
the condition of the friend through
the family, and through those who are
in close touch with them. When a per-
son is very i'll, it is, wise for some one
of group of friends to phone or call
and make inquiry at the house, and
then give the information to others. A
different one of the group can inquire
each day, and then phone to the rest.
In this way it is known at the house
that all the friends are eagerly inter-
ested, and the family will appreciate,
more than they can express, how good
it was not to be continually disturbed
by repeated phone calls, which they
really have no time to answer.
It is possible also to show the sick
person attention In various ways.
Flowers can be sent to cheer the sick
room, delicacies to tempt a poor appe-
tite, greeting cards with happy and
comforting messages little gifts to sur
prise and give pleasure. books and
magazines to occupy weary hours. the
state of the patient should determine
the sort of remembrance to send. II
a person is desperately i'll, there is
little one can do except to send kindly
messages, with occasional flowers.
Later when the patient has passed
crisis and can realize attentions, than
they are most welcome.
There comes a time, when patient
is getting better, that CHEEKY calls,
short, unhurried, and yet full of an
outside atmosphere to change the
trend of thoughts, are desirable. They
help the patient to get well. 1t is
pity that often, at such times, when
anxiety has given place to knowledge
of the gradual and sure convalescence
the interest of friends slackens
Instead, for the good of the patient,
this is just the time when visiting the
sick is most welcome. 1t is then that
friends can be like a tonic in the sick
room
