More Truth Than
Poetry
A Terrible Warning.
JAMES J. MONTAGUE.


The pterodactyl once was found
Here. there and everywhere;
The creature always ranged around
In quest Of daily fare.
From tree to tree he used to trot
And chew them day and night,
Yet never food enough he got
To rate his appetite.
The brontosaurus, long since dead,
Stretched forth his mighty jaw,
The while he roamed the world and fed
On everything he saw.
He constantly increased his girth,
As also did his mate,
And while these creatures roamed the
They ate and ate and ate.
But In good time digestive Ills
Began to rack their forms.
And, lacking medicines and pills,
They died in teeming swarms.
And, though you search the world around
From Nome to Mandalay
No such creature can be found
Upon the earth today.
You, too, will shortly be a wreck
II you do not take care
To hold your appetite in check
And eat plain, simple fare.
Beware Of sweets, 60 slow on starch,
Don't let yourself grow stout.
And evolution's unchecked march
Will never snuff you out.
Draft on Imagination.
IT beg your pardon" said the traffic
cop.
Give II Credit.
Well, prohibition was q swell topic
for conversation, anyway.
Out Of the Limelight.
You never hear much about Reno
any more. Probably everybody who
wanted q divorce has got one.

smallest of the Old Orchard folk who
had remained to spend the Winter, sud-

respect such as they never had shown

There was nothing daring about it."
replied Tommy Tit modestly. There is
nothing daring in doing something you
know there is no danger in doing"
But how did you know" persisted
Downy.

replied Tommy Tit q bit impatiently.
"You ought to know, all Of you, that

Which proves that you are not as

Tommy Tit sweetly
For several successive mornings the
birds found Farmer Browns Boy await

inside the window and always with
Tommy Tit breakfasted alone, for he
was the only one with enough courage

not hesitate at all. He few straight

the most matter of fact manner. Farm
er Browns Boy talked to him and he
talked back while the others looked on
enviously. When Tommy had eaten
his fill, Farmer Browns Boy would
leave and then, and not until then,
the others got their breakfast.
Then one morning they found the
window closed and DO food spread on

morning with threat Of snow in the

II may punish the child for his
4 \ actions, and his manners, but
he is inevitably only what she
makes him. The imprint of the parent
is marked indelibly upon the child.
Children not only copy the voice in
hections Of the parent but initiate her
manners. Perhaps she is careful to
pany, but at home she lets out all the
querulous, mean, injured, sharp tones
which, more than words, denote her in
ner emotions. The child hears these
tones and he, too, uses them, regardless
Of his mothers frenzied desire for him
to act nicely and talk nicely.
Too many parents are not at all con-
cerned with what their children think
Of them. but only what their friends
and contemporaries think The child
does think, and he loses respect for the
parent who lacks emotional control,
whose discipline is matter Of sharp
commands and sharper punishment,
who displays an entire lack Of con-
sideration for the child as a human
being. The parent gets no results from
her methods, no matter how good may
be her objectiveS.
Often these subtle undertones make
it impossible to tell parents why they
are not gettlng goOd results apparently
from their ld-training methods.
Everything they do may be according
to the books" but that subtle some
thing between parent and child has an
incalculable result. The child may
know quite well that he is the object
of method. He may note what the
parent does, how she acts, and what
she says, and see the difference between
that and what is expected OF him.
Parents are often not only undiscip-
lined themselves, but they are too stern
and strict with their children, demand
ing perfection from them in years when
no child is perfect.
We cannot possibly erase the influence
Of the parent upon the child. We can
not wipe out the effect OF a mothers
tones which may be more effective than
her acts. The things We do to a child
must be weighed In the balance OF our
own behavior. Is our own reprehensible
conduct weightier than our words?
Quite often it is, and because Of that,
the effect of the words, logical or rea-
sonable as they may be. Is completely
nullihed.

LII. rIdllh j.
Woodbury., Philadelphia, reminds us
that, from time beyond record, hot
baths of water, vapor and air have
been used to make people sweat and to
cure many ailments.
The method in institutions where
hydrotherapy-uSe Of water in treat
ment-is given, is to raise the tempera-
ture of the bather little higher each
time he takes the hot bath, which lasts
up to minutes at most, up to about
102 degrees Fahrenheit and often up to
104 degrees Fahrenheit. The tempera-
ture stays up for about one-half hour
after the bath, and can be continued
by wrapping him up well. The tenn
perature of the water begins few de-
grees above normal up to as high as
1913 degrees Fahrenheit.

trumps to get more bidding ranger"
The reason I prefer to bid four spades
is that I want to relieve my partner
from the duty Of rebidding his spades
either because his distribution cannot
stand no trumps or because suit length
Is the sole feature of his hand. I do
not want to know anything more about
his spades-his outside high cards are
the key to our slam chances. I call on
him to make a constructive rebid II
he can. Any rebid in terms of spades
is not constructive to me, as / know
they are solid-whether he has four
Of them or seven.

Give him the weakest Gin primary

ing first or second hand bid-an ex-
treme major suit two-suiter:
Sp. 9xxxx Di.
Hts X 10x CT.
a spade bid is in order with this hand,
since you only need the king of spades
and an ace in dummy to give you a fine
play for game. Over four spades,
opener will pass; this Is our right con-
tract, even if every important card is
wrong and we lose trick in each suit.
When the Risk Of Trump Duplication
Is Greatest.
should mention that If your trump
support Is only Q j x, there is con-
siderable danger Of the spades being Q
duplication; your partner may have two
of his primary tricks in spades-hve or
six headed by ace-king-and only one
outside trick; SO be prepared to handle
the situation if his holding Is no better
than this when you raise him imme-
distely to four. Your outside holdings
must be very solid to eliminate all but
two losers. II this Is doubtful bid only
three spades at first, and make another
move on the next round.
When your trump support is as good
as A or K @ x, these CARDS not
being in the openers hand, place other
high cards there, and that in the of
suits where you most need them for
slam 1t is for these situations that
the triple raise is specifically intended.
1t removes the otherwise inevitable
vagueneSs Of slam bidding when the
openers suit is very sketchy though his
hand is strong in high cards elsewhere.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Give Unto Caesar

sHow did the old saying originate
about Giving unto Caesar the things
that are Ceasar's, meaning give each
person what Is due or belongs to him2"
The saying is used In that way, but
1t also carries the significance of keep
ing separate one's spiritual obligations
from the affairs Of the world.
In their original form the words are
"Render therefore, unto Cesar the
things which are Cesar's: and unto
God the things that are Gods" They
come to us from the New Testament,
in the twenty-second chapter of the
Book of Matthew, where Jesus answers
the question, rs it lawful to give trib-
ute unto Cesar, or not?"
