Clarifying Yourself

Wry not devote the next seven
days to a systematic effort at i'm

stering that winter worn morale?
First, make up your mind to be
in bed with lights out every night
at ten-thiry. This way, you can set
the alarm half an hour earlier to
allow time enough to do exercises
before breakfast. Brush hair and
give face and throat thorough
three-step facial (cleansing), lubri-

of course. In addition, work out
seven-day plan to allow for the ex-

For instance, apply mask on

and pneumococcus types.
The type of meningitis which is
mo. common however is that due
to spinal germ known as menin-

of the nose, to the tissues which
develop the brain and the spinal

Your
Children

Writers on the home and the

self am old-fashioned and like to
think of Papa coming home to his
clapboard house at six o'clock, a
bunch Of youngsters on the porch
yelling, Here he comes" and bag
of jelly beans being fished out of
his pocket.
But most Of all, I picture Mama,
neat as wax, as the books admon-
ish her, smiling in the hall. while
from the kitchen watt nose-tickling
aromas Of just-the- right things to
eat.
All writer's take a standard for
their theses, and the above is the

so to say, for suggesting the dos

Yet, every sane soul today knows
that such homes are only a frac-
ton of all homes.
Pleasure seeking Disrupts Family
Blow a whistle, and like the Arc

pour the children. They come from
crowded alleys, from severe and
stately apartments; from city can

have one, and some have several
Many have none.
NO, all children are not sanding
their roots in a pleasant suburb OF

and Sis, ard the dog. I wish they
were. Or out on the farm where
Brud could help with the horses
and Sis with the chickens and eggs
Or in clean city with wide streets
and some grass where the sun could
tan them in season.
However, the most confirmed
dreamers among us who harp on
the children day after day, are not
so dead to reality that we blink the
trend of the times or the pull OF
the world. Not for children, this time

puncturing the spinal cord with a

Once it was oysters any way in a

on fighting, in spite of the advice
of friends who have his best in
terestS at heart. That being the
case, I guess there's nothing that
can be done about it. But one
can't help sympathizing with him
in advance for the beating he is
going to take when he faces Lou
Ambers for the third time in a
lightweight championship battle,
next month.
If Tony needs the money, that
is slight but unsatisfactory ex.

The fact is Tony should be well
provided for, financially, at this
stage Of career in which the
money has fairly rolled into him.
If it is only pride that keeps him

say the regaining Of his crown
wouldn't be worth the price he
would have to pay, physically and
