Mortgage Bonds.

Women had been taught for years
that bonds, especially mortgage bonds
were safe investments. A new era
dawned and with it came the knowl-
edge that not all mortgage bonds are
what they seem, or what one expects
them to be.
Because mortgage bonds carried with
them an assurance of safety, they were
used as bait for unsuspecting woman
investors. Today those who have found
their way to sucker lists are not both

fers the racketeers have new
bait
Today women know that a mortgage
bond may be unsecured by real prop
erty, or that 1t may be only fractionally
secured. They know that recently. for
example, building leased to the Gov
eminent was appraised at over six times
its value. They know what mort
gage on that building is WORTH
They wish to know who appraised
the property and all about its condi-
tons, its income, its assessment and

! cial care to keep herself in fine physi-
cal condition.
The other reason why persons fee
low in their mind can be dealt with by
the person herself. Primarily it has
nothing to do with i'll health, although
depression comes as q reaction to pro-
longed good times, or as the result OF
having too little to do. Those who are
busy and know how much there Is to
do find it difficult to appreciate that
there are hundreds Of persons who don't
know what to do, either for themselves
or for others.
These persons are said to lack re-
sources. They may have money, but
they have no ideas and they lack
imagination. When a person belongs to
pations that have been planned for
them are done, or the good times are
at an end, they have to fall back on
themselves, at least until some one has
other work or other plans arranged. In
the interim such people are at a loss
what to do to employ themselves for
pure pleasure or in the line Of work.
They are at sea-" Then they get de-
pressed.

almost always to periods of depression.
What is there for such persons to do
to enjoy themselves when each thing
suggested or what life has to offer in
the way of pleasures has grown stale
and trite? This is really a pitiful con-
dition to get into. It is something that
cannot be stopped without the volition
and determination of the person suf-
fering from this particular form Of
ennui.
A mother should encourage her chill
dren to cultivate themselves-that is,
to find out how to get some pleasures
when they must depend upon them
selves alone for entertainment or pleas
ant occupation. When a child keeps
coming to a mother with the question
What shall do?" 1t is well for the
mother to take time to help the child
Ask him to tell what things he usually
enjoys, and suggest that he pick out
from the list the thing that most ap-
peals. If nothing does, the mother
should sometimes suggest something
different.
But she can help the child to think
and act of his own accord and to find
ways and means of occupation, either
with some task that is absorbing and
interesting or with some simple enter
tainment which he can enjoy by him.
self-that is, by his own efforts. Such
training will help a child through his
entire life and save him from the misery
of depression.

SUMMERTIME
By d. C. PEATTIE.

No amount of observation has ever
taught me why a swarm OF gnats goes
round and round. When the observa-
tional method In science can teach us
nothing more it is time, they say, to try
the experimental method. You might,
for instance, put the gnatS on q centri-
fuge and whirl them away from the
center of rotation instead of toward the
center. You could try operating on their
eustachian tubes (if gnatS have such
things). Japanese wRltzing mice have
defective eustachian tubes and hence
are condemned by fault in glandular
development to a dance marathon that
lasts all a mouse lifetime.
Bee swarmS center about queen bee,
but nobody think will suggest the idea
of queen gnat. Swarm flies, which are
common in Europe and are found, as a
gypsy species, in some Washington
houses, also whirl giddily about the
center of the room, especially Il there
Is q focal object like a chandelier or a
string or strip of paper. I can easily
offer an explanation for their habits
having the name of swarm flies, they
are obliged to swarm, just to live up to
their reputation.
But in spite of my indeavors to side
track the question am left with the

vertiginous way. 1t is just as good q
subject for a doctors thesis as most
of those that are solemnly put forward
like THE Lost o in Latin" the point
being that the candidate for doctorate
was unable to find it, and women in
Anglo-Saxon Poetry their being no
woman in Anglo-Saxon poetry.
A few evenings ago, watching the
rhythmic rise and fall of gyrating gnat
swarm in the hot Summer twilight, I
thought discovered the reason Two
tree swallows from opposite directions
swooped upon the swarm. Swift as the
darting pursuit of the dipping swallows,
the gnat swarm dip and rose, wheeled,
turned, did giddy executions. The rea-
son, I said, that gnats go round is to
make the swallows work for their din
ner, and, working, do dipping dance
delectable to human eyes. But science
sternly refused me this answer; nothing
in the philosophy of modern science is
admitted to exist in order that some
thing else may exist; the habits of any
species are not even allowed by scientists
to be explained on the basis of their
usefulness to that species, because that
might imply that gnats finding them
selves the prey of swallows, adapted
gyrating habits just In order to spite
the swallow tribe.

Natures Rouge.

A letter signed Sweet Sixteen" says:
Il have light brown hair, blue eyes and
fair complexion. I have been using q
flesh shade Of powder and rather a
bright rouge. Is this correct for my
type?"
My answer to this young girl and to
the dozens and dozens Of others in
the teen age who write to me want
ing to know what kind of rouge and
lipstick to use is. Absolutely none, for
you don't need it." II you are healthy,
nature has given you all the delicate,
lovely coloring you need. and II you're
not, the thing to do is to build UP the
vigorous health which belongs to youth
and not try to hide the lack of 1t by
the use Of cosmetics.
There Is only one way In which
would advise you young girls to use
rouge, and for this method you may
choose any shade whatever-the re-
suits will be the same. The method
which will tell you about was sug-
gested to q young girl by q wise old
family physician. MY dear" said he.
II want you to buy yourself pot of
rouge and want you to put q rab-
bits foot in your pocket and then take
this pot Of rouge and walk 4 miles out
into the country. At the end of the
miles dig q hole in the ground and
bury the rouge pot. Leave 1t there and
go home. and every day after that I
want you to take the rabbits foot in
your pocket and walk out to the place
where you have buried the rouge pot.
After q few weeks of this the rouge
will come to your cheeks"
If Sweet Sixteen" will follow this
advice, I'm quite sure she will soon
have all the natural coloring she needs.
She might even omit the rabbits foot
and be just as successful.

beauty, but they do not belong to youth,

1868 BROWN COUNTY
PIONEER DIES NOV. IL

Having reached the age of eight
months past 100 years, William Ross
bach died at his homestead in Albin
Township, Brown county, south of
Sleepy Eye, Tuesday, November II.
Mr.. Rossbach had been active un-
til the last, doing little chores about
his place and tending to the garden
during spring and summer, his pet
hobby.
Coming from Germany to the Unit
ed State he spent few months in
Chicago and other cities before settl-
ing in Albin township, selecting a
plat of land overlooking Lake Han
ska. He resided on this farm since
1868, and was the oldest living sett-
Ter in this part of the state.
There are five generations in the
family. He is survived by three chill
dren. He is the father of Mrs. Cath
crime Koenig and grandfather of G.
A. Koenig, Lamberton.
Interment was made in the old
Iberia Cemetery where many of the
first settlers were buried. The GEM
etery was established in 1858. 1t is
located about five miles south of
Sleepy Eye, on a bluff of the Big
Cottonwood river.
