LISTEN WORLD!
A Character That Didn't Jeu
By Elsie Robinson

She never firmed up into ma
turity, in spite of long expert
ence with the world
in spite Of motherhood, wife
hood, queenship she
insisted on remaining a child.
Time after time she had a
chance to grow up a
chance to act like an adult
but always she took
refuge in her childish impulses.
And so her life became a flabby
futility.
One sentence sums up the
whole book. SHE HAD NOT
BEEN EDUCATED FOR HERO
ISM"
That sentence would un-
doubtedly have surprised Queen
Anne as much as it may sur
prise you. Like most Of us,
she did not think that heroism
requires education. She thought
that heroism was something
that just happened. She was
sure that when the time came
she would be heroic. But she
never was, for her character
had never been trained along
those lines.
SHE HAD NEVER TRAINED
HERSELF TO MAKE DECIS-
IONS AND STICK BY THEM.
SHE HAD NEVER TRAINED
HERSELF TO FACE REALITY
AND NOT DUCK.
She had always duCked. She
had always ducked the scores
of trivial crisis which we all
must meet each day. And so.
when the great tests of her life
came, she duCked those too.
She became a coward, not be-
cause she WANTED to be a
coward. but because she didn't
have the spunk and under
standing to face each emerg-
ency when it arose. Cowardice
"snuk up on her" lowly. in
Sidiously, as a habit "
as cowardice has way of do
ing.
She wasn't very useful as a
queen. She should be tremen-
douSly useful as an Awful EX-

Of grown person.
Eye-strain can make people
dizzy, cause headaches, pro

functioning of the brain cells.
Dividing the body into physi-

merely a convenient means of
classification,
But the body and mind are
a unit. are one. And in the
same way that the mind can
influence the body, the body
can, contraryWise, influence the
mind.
1t is true that persons who
are in poor health often per
form their daily tasks in an un-
usually successful manner. How
much more successful they
might be, however, if all their
organs were functioning per
fectly!
Disease produces poisons and
these may clog and retard the
thinking processes.
When an organ is diseased
energy is diverted by the body
to combat the disease which
otherwise might be utilized by
the mind.
Persons who are i'll cannot,
as rule, work as hard as nor
NAL ones. They tire more
quickly. Concentration may be
difficult.
Furthermore, they must needs
restrict their lives, often their
exercise and recreational activi-
ties because they must conserve
their strength.
All this should be argument
enough to make us careful lest
we become chronically sick.
However, we can develop 6

COMEBODY is always wonder
~ ing if the sacredness of
the home is becoming obsolete.
Nonsense! Whether it's
Park Avenue mansion or a
kitchenette apartment, the
home will never lose its sacred
ness.
Every married woman knows
that the "saCredneSs of the
home" consists largely in the
fact that the big armchair and
the best reading lamp are
sacred" to the man of the
house.
That the broadest bath towel,
the pet back brush and the
shaving cabinet are sacred
to Father.
That the liver, the second
joint and the Drowned skin on
the breast of the fowl are
sacred" to DAD.
That the desk in the den and
the undisturbed morning news
paper are sacred to Him.
That the cream off the quart
and the melon on the ice are
his by divine right.
That the front door key and
the garage lock are sacred to
his use-and the ladder and
the lawn-mower sacred posses
SionS never to be fooled with"
That Sunday is twice sacred
to him-and the sporting page
must be preserved undefiled un-
til he peruses it.
Sunday morning is sacred to
his beauty sleep, the Sunday
dinner to his fluctuating ap-
petite and Sunday evening to
his nap, his whims, or his
amusement.
The car tools are sacred to
his use and the drivers seat
to his royal occupancy.
The family tub is sacred to
his matutinal splash and the
vestibule light to his Nocturnal
homecoming.
The furnace is sacred to his
tinkering and the shovel his
exclusive property. The ham,
mer and the screwdriver pos
itiVely radiate holy privilege.
The camping equipment in
the garage and the fishing poles
upon it's beams burn with right
eous fire; and any wife expects
to be struck dead if she irrev-
erently Hampers with his bait
box, looking for a screw or
something.
Eight a. m. is sacred to his
breakfast, $50 p. m. to his din
ner, and 7:30 to the rites and
ceremony that accompany his
after-dinner cigar.
Woman has always been
credited with preserving the
sanctity of the home; but it
is really man who manages to
surround almost everything in
it, from the shoehorn and the
hot water to the car and the

YUKON BRINGS 21 PASSENGERS
 TO THIS PORT

With 21 passengers for this port, the steamship Yukon enroute from Seattle to Seward called at Juneau today.

 Cabins were occupied by 19 Of the 21 persons who disembarked at this port. Seven of the 19 were from Seattle and 12 from way ports. They were Ernest Gilligan, Andreas Hiidre, Mrs. E. M.

 Acto nExtends Thanks
 Capt. Acton thanked the Cham Der of Commerce for it's kindness and also the people of Juneau for their splendid spirit and their as- sistance to the Army, and made a vigorous address on the work and service of the Army, particularly in respect to Southeast Alaska. He told of the progress made by many of the Indians, saying it was scarcely more than generation ago that certain tribes within few hundred miles of Juneau lived in a state of absolute ignorance of civilization and under their ancient code were in some instances even practicing the eating of the dead To think, he said, what a change of thought and of heart has been brought to them is enough to inspire all with an appreciation of the change of conditions and the better state of affairs as brought to the Indians by those who have been laboring among them. It has been tre- mendous task, said the captain, to change the modes of thought and of life of a people, but the work has been crowned with success and is now on a foundation that as- sures the happiest condition and most worthy life to all concerned, and that 1t is a comfort to the members of the Army in their work to know that they have the sympa- thy and aid of representative bodies like the Juneau Chamber of Com merce and the citizens of Juneau and Alaska. The confidence that the people have in the work of the Army, said the captain, and the confidence of men in highest posi- tion as well as in the lowly walks of life is a great incentive to the army to push forward with the work it has undertaken in this re- zion.
 Church, Jr, Present
 Campbell Church, Jr., who oper- ates number of craft in South east Alaska, handling charter par ties and others seeking hunting, fishing and other diversions, was in troduced and expressed his appre- citation of the services of the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce as touching the field in which he is Interested. MT. Proctor, who ac- companied MT. Church was also present and was introduced, and thanked the members for the privi- llege of being present.
 President c od dard announced that the luncheon of the Chamber was held on Tuesday this week in Iorder to extend the courtesies of the body to Major Merritt and other officers of the Salvation Army. and stated that there will not be an other luncheon this week but that on Thursday of next week the regu
 lar luncheon will be held and much business of importance will be dis loussed.

E. F. Watson leader. It will meet monthly. Balanced diet will be fol- lowed by the members.
 Not every case of illness can be attributed to poor food but poor food is so often the cause of poor health that the importance of cor rect diet can hardly be over esti- mated" said Mrs. Hansen in her talk. Scientific experiments extending over many years have at last proved that faulty diets are the primary cause of anemia, rickets, scurvy, constipation, skin eruptions, poor teeth. obesity, susceptibility to colds and infections; while properly balanced diets lead to health, vital ity, and good spirits. Cooks, both home and professional, are not en- tirely responsible for what people eat, but they are responsible for what goes on the table. A few people have food complexes'-child- ish likes and dislikes that prevent them from eating wholesome foods but most people would prefer bal anced diets if the right foods were served in an appetizing way. That is why the cooks of the country are largely responsible for poor health due to poor food
 The correct diet is also the cheapest diet. Although the fresh fruits and vegetables are compara- lively more expensive, there is like ly to be less expense for doctor and dentist bills and less loss of time due to headaches, indigestion, and other ailments.
