strong approval from Business
Week, national business news mag.
Summarizing the data in a

points out the following: "AS in

grow smaller, so do rents; smaller
communities, smaller com e;
home owners increase as incomes
rise and as towns sink in size!"

we now earmark some money to be

suits. Mere repetition alone won't
necessarily build up habit. In fact,
too much repetition, to the point of
boredom, is great drawback Not so
much depends on the actual amount of
practice as on the childs attitude. This
is noticeable in connection with piano
practice. Modern teahers no longer
insist on their pupils spending a long,
dreary hour at the piano each day, but
encourage them to put in short regular
periods instead; or to start in by spend

No Fire Call
For One Year.

Clarkfield-With the local fire de-
partment members always rarin' to
fight fires, the boys have had little OPP
portunity within the last year to dis
play their ability. Last week exactly
365 days had passed since a fire had
been reported within the city limits and
fire chief Alfred Olson believes that
fact is record Of some kind for a town
the size of Clarkfield. The fire depart
ment is appreciative Of the fact that it
takes one hundred per cent cooperation
of the citizens to establish the fireless
record that Clarkfield now claims. Care
OF chimneyS, furnaces, heaters and
stoves, the cleaning up of debris and
the doing away with fire traps have
done the trick they say. There have
been quite number of fire calls, how
ever, to farms in the neighborhood.
The more numerous rural fires can be
laid to chimney fires caused by the
burning of half green wood, a practice
that has become common since the
drought has killed farm groves.

EASY" LEARNING.

How does it happen that the baby
who by some random movement
CHANGED to get his thumb in his mouth,
so soon has what we call "habit
of thumb Sucking?" That question has
puzzled many mother who has found
that her children are not nearly SO
quick to pick up some of the habits she
has wanted them to acquire. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple, and should tell us
lot about how to help in establishing
good habits. When the baby sucks his
thumb, he gets an immediate sensation
of pleasure, partly because his lips and
mouth are acutely sensitive to feelings
and partly because sucking is associated
with his greatest pleasure in life, that
of eating. 1t takes very little practice
to establish habit in connection with
which there are strong satisfactions. II
we want a habit to grow fast, we have
to see that there is pleasure connected
with its performance. A boy learns
very quickly to drive a car-because it
is so much fun to feel powerful, to
move so fast. Not so speedy is his
learning to keep his hands clean-for
as a general rule he experiences no
particular delight in having them
clean. Comments and criticisms are
probably lavishly made when he comes
to the table with grimy hands-but
seldom do we remember to praise him
and make him feel happy when he
comes to the table Immaculate When
does he begin to take pride in his ap-
pearance? When he begins to have an
interest in girls, and is anxious to Sc
cure their approval! There is no
mystery about the changes in boys
neatness and cleanness at this time
it is merely question of there now
being some pleasure or satisfaction de-
rived from the habit.
And SO it is with whatever habit we
are trying to encourage. Sometimes it
requires ingenuity to think of any way
to connect up a pleasure with the
childs learning, but it will be worth
the effort.
This law of learning explains why the
practice and repetition that we have so

Not every woman is born beautiful,
nor do all women who are born beauti-
full keep this beauty. 1t is, however,
tractive.
Through a certain friend and recent
reading, I have learned of a beauty
treatment which not only sounds
sensible, but which I think will appeal
to all who hear of it. This treatment is
based on the theory that the modern
woman is SO busy lunching, dining,
partying and keeping late hours that
even though she is strong sooner or
later she breaks under the strain, pay
ing with the loss of youth and beauty
as well as her good nature and energy.
Now, to combat this, it is suggested
that you select one day in each week,
any day that is most convenient to
yourself. The night before take a mild
laxative. Upon arising on your beauty
day have tall cool glass of your fav-
orite fresh fruit juice. May I suggest
that a combination of unsweetened
pineapple and prune juice is delicious.
A half hour after you have drunk the
juice, you may, if you wish, have cup
of clear coffee. Now rub your entire
body, not forgetting your face and neck,
with a liquid skin food. There is a
preparation which is not expensive yet
is excellent. Now dress yourself in
some warm but loose and comfortable
clothes, and take a brisk three-mile
walk.
When you come back, you will be
ready for glass of fresh fruit or veg
etable juice. Follow this with a warm
bath, another application of body OIL
ten or fifteen minutes of setting up
exercises, and luncheon of as much
beauty broth as you can drink. Then
take delicious youthifying nap.
Now you will have time to give your
hair a good brushing. Brush it for
let's say a half-hour with steady up
ward and outward strokes Again it is
time for more fruit or vegetable juice
Follow this by reading your favorite
magazine or story book. You may have
glass of juice every hour of the day
if you wish.
At six o'clock, have supper of beauty
broth. This is energizing and filling,
and you may have as much as you like
without fear or adding pounds. Be
tween your dinner and bedtime, which
must be no later than nine o'clock, read
and amuse yourself with anything that
permits relaxation.
If you feel hungry, take as much
fresh vegetable, fruit juice or beauty
broth as you wish, but nine o'clock
must find you in bed with the lights

To the Romans, March was the
first month of the year, a calendar
custom that persisted throughout
Europe for centuries. England did
not adopt the present calendar I'M
til 1852, previously dating it's legal
year from March Is.
Literally, March is the month OF
Mars, based on Grecian legend.
Certainly its warlike tendencies are
borne out by the furious winds usu-
ally accompanying the month. II
March comes in like a lion, it will

If people are "mad as March
hare" there's usually a mental all.
ment concerned. March beer is ira.

conditions are supposed to be best
for brewing in that month.

.And March
Marches On!

Though it's just another month in
the year, March probably has more
traditions and superstitions behind
it than any of the remaining II
months.
Since Julius Caesars time the
sides of March" have been famous
in song and story, few people realiz-
ing that every month had an t'ides"
in the old Roman calendar. The
fact that Caesar was murdered on
the "ides of March" made that par
ticular day more significant.

No illness is taken less seriously nor
neglected so often as the common
cold. Strange, too, when one considers
how many serious illnesses are often
directly attributable to cold. At the
first sign of a cold, proper care should
be taken.
The wise thing to do, of course, is to
follow few simple rules of health so
that the body can build up the resist
ance necessary to ward off colds en-
tirely. A few of them are:
l. Eat sensibly. Include plenty of
fresh fruits, and vegetables in your diet.
2. Get sufficient rest
8. Keep kidneys and bowels in good
working order.
4. Drink at least six glasses of water
a day.
5. Keep your feet dry wear rub
bers
6. Keep away from persons with a
cold.
