LITTLE BENNY

ing, Its a strange thing, Willyum, but
there RELY seems to be such thing as
law of compensation in this life. We
seem to be capable of feeling just so
much JOY or sorrow, as the case may
be, and after that we're blazzay, and
then on the other hand If we haven't
had many thrills or sorrows, 1t takes
little or nuthing to thrill us or make
us sad, she sed.
I bleeve you're rite. pop sed. It seems
to me I've herd some such opinion ex-
pressed before, but I bleeve your rite.
Failure and success both become mo-
notoniss If taken in large steddy doses.
With the possible exception of draw
ing royal strate flush at poker, don't
bleeye any CRATE moment in mans
life could give him the same thrill
twice. But what CRATE establishment
has overwhelmed you into this depth
of Philosophy? he sed.
Well III tell you, ma sed, I was
around at Gladdises house today to
help her with some window curtains
that she had the mistaken ideer she
could do herself, and suddenly out of a
blue sky she called me in an excited
voice to run up and look at the baby.
Well, to say that my hart stood still
would be a mild understatement. 1t
axually seemed to go backwards. I had
unexpressed visions of the most mex
pressible calamities. How I ever got
up to the nersery Thomas Edison HIM
self could never of found out. And
here insted of a calamity it was the
baby's End tooth just coming out
through his lower gums. Well would
you bleeve me, the site scarcely moved
me at all. OF corse l was glad to see
it and all that, but in comparison to
the exalted state 1 was in when his ferst
tooth came through / was like frost
bitten Stink in the desert. And that's
what gives me the impression that when
it comes to the crate moments of life,
each human bean is strickly limited to
one thrill of each kind, she sed. Its
sad to think of, she sed.
We better not think of 1t, pop sed.

diet, as promoting good health.
Before attempting to follow any spe-
cial diet persons does well to consult
a physician and find out whether there
Is need for 1t. Reducing diets must be
carefully studied to suit individual
cases. Anaemia may result from under
feeding, or any one of several troubles
which come from some element OF food
being withheld from constitution.
There is one sure guide to diets that
any one can follow with safety. What
ever is found positively to disagree with
a person should be eliminated. What
ever Is found to agree can be eaten
with impunity. The foods may or may
not be the favorites of ones appetite.
We are not now considering likes and
dislikes in foods, but edibles that suit
constitutions. From among these viands
a diet to tempt the palate should be,
and can be, arranged.
The study of foods and diets has led
to a better understanding of what each
food does for a system. There must be
some one of the various vitamins in
each, for the vitamin is the life-giving
element, as the root of the word indi-
Gates. Freely translated this means the
nourishing element. Each food that is
valued contains some nourishing ele-
ment as some element that the system
requires.
Since this is true it will be seen that
the varied diet would contain better
assortment of the needed kinds OF
nourishment for the normally we'll per-
son than any specialized diet. 1t will
also be seen that, under a physicians
direction, the particular kind of nour-
ishment that a physique needed could
be introduced into specialized menu.
To pick some certain diet because it

effects, such as slimness, is most I'M
wise, for without proper knowledge of
what the system requires, the diet might
be incorrect. Then instead of benefit
ing the system it would harm it. Spe-
cial diets are necessary for special plr-
poses and for persons who must have
special treatment.

Labor Day.

It is we'll, now and then, to recall
the history of important American in
situations.
Back in September, 1882, the knights
of Labor held their annual meeting in
New York City. The Central Labor
Union of New York staged a parade
on September 5. Labor saw itself as
a reality--an embodied spirit. In 1884
American labor ordained the first Mon
day of September as an annual Labor
day.
oregon was the first State to make 1t
legal holiday. That was on February
81, 1887. Colorado enacted the same
legislation on March Is, 1887 Next
in line came New Jersey, New York
and Massachusetts,. BY 1928 the
States and the District of Columbia
had made the legislation unanimous.
Labor day is in more respects than
one holiday second in significance
only to the 4th of July.
In the first place it is democratic
all classes celebrate it in America. IN
the second place, it is strictly Amer
lean. Other nations have followed US
in establishing something like it. It's
significance increases from year to year.
1t is no longer mere recess in the
hum of industry. It celebrates the
spirit of a Nation"

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 2, 1S61.-A sword and gold
epaulettes were presented today to
Capt. Dahlgren and a pair of gold
epaulettes to Lieut.. Parker of the Navy
by the officers and men of the list
New York Regiment. This regiment is
especially grateful to these two naval
officers for the kindness shown by
them when the regiment was stationed
In the Washington Navy Yard imme-
diately after the outbreak of HOSTILE
ties between the North and the South.
The presentation was made by a
committee headed by Col. H. p. Mar
tin of the list Regiment
1t will be recalled that this regi-
rnent was among the first to come to
the aid of the Federal Government
when it was apparently threatened
with attack by the Confederates last
April. The men of the list New York
Regiment came by water to Annapolis,
Md They made the march from An
napolis to the junction with overcoats,
knapsackS and muskets and arrived in
Washington with full ranks-without
one straggler-and were assigned to
the duty of protecting the Navy Yard
and the Anacostia bridge.
Col. Martin, in a brief presentation
speech today, said that the regiment
had been the recipient of the bounty
and goodness" of the officers of the
Navy Yard from the day it arrived un-
til the day it left.
Capt. Dahlgren and Lieut.. Parker ac-
ceptsd the gifts with graceful speeches
of thanks. They referred to the fact
that the list New York Regiment had
not only done it's duty well at the
Navy Yard, but had covered itself with
glory on the battlefield of Bull Run this
Summer Capt. Dahlgren said the list
New York was the last regiment to
leave the field at Bull Run, and that
the men carried themselves like tried
soldiers throughout the struggle.

able-that you'll never want
to sleep on a flattened one
again. You'll wake up re-
freshed, invigorated by nerve
relaxing sleep.

germ-free, buoyant and beau

been sent here. Many are

Is that scores of resilient

of downy felt, hair or kapok
cushion every curve of the
