been physically weak. Conscious
of the inferiority of their bodies,
often excluded from normal physi-
cal activities, they have concen-
trated on mental attainments and
become famous. Short men often
accomplish wonders simply because
they try so hard to make up for their
lack 81 physical distinction; Napo-
Icons small stature undoubtedly had
powerful influence on making him
conqueror.
From the standpoint Of achieve
ment, therefore, the weak point
which you consider handicap may
actually turn out to be an asset to
you. In the same way, mere feel
ing Of inferiority, even when it is
unjustified, may spur you on to make
yourself superior.
However, all this doesn't make
your inferiority complex a whole lot
easier to live with. Most such feel
ings aren't powerful enough to make
us famous; they are just sufficiently
strong to make us uncomfortable
and dissatisfied.
In dealing with this type of
down" feeling it's helpful to re-
member that 8 out of 10 other
people feel the same way about
some aspect of their own personali-
ties. They may seem supremely
self confident, but deep inside they
have much the same secret doubts
and misgivings that bother you.
Once you've got that idea your
own shortcomings won't seem quite
so important. You can examine
them calmly, see how real or
imaginary they are and either set
about correcting them or stop being
unduly worried about them.
If a weakness seems to be real
remember that by effort you can
turn it into strong point. If it's
just a notion 1t probably goes back
to some forgotten incident or
childhood experience for which you
weren't responsible. Maybe you can't
get rid Of the notion entirely. But
you can gradually build up your
self confidence in other fields, and
some of that self confidence will
flow over your weak spot and help
remove IT, Ss

Most women live in a sort of do
! mestic blitzkreig. From the moment
the alarm goes OFF in the morning
until the last child is tucked in at
night, life assaults them with dozens
of petty interruptions, details and
obligations!
This is likely to produce several
factors which are aging and de-
structive to health and happiness.
In the first place, the constant in
terruption of drive is fatiguing
Then, too, the multiplicity of duties
Is apt to lead to q feeling of pres

On top Of all this, the life Of the
woman in the home is made up of
SO many small parts, each in itself
seemingly futile and puttering, that
she may forget the grand total ard
become bored.
In order to live life most success
fully and happily there are several
things a woman should do. She
should organize her household in
order to prevent strain and rush
She should also simplify her own
life by planning to do only those
things she can do with ease.
Beside this, she should remem-
ber the long-range view. 1t may
be boring to take a chair to be
mended, to call to have the squeak
taken out of the fan, to mend the
curtain and polish the silver, to
remember to buy more light bulbs
to count the laundry and shop about
for extremely fresh vegetables and
very ripe fruits.
From the worms eye view this
all seems useless and a waste of
time. Looked at from the long
range view it is the most important

I believe that many splendid wives

deny the ones they love best the
most precious gift they could be-

their most charming selves.
Personalities bloom when watered

to do your most important job best,
don't forget the long-range view.
The little things you do to make
home attractive, the habit of plan

You Can Eat
And Still
Reduce
Suggested Outline
Offers All Diet
Necessities
By Edith NJ. Barber

'Is 1t possible to reduce weight
and still get everything that Is i'm
| portant into the diet? Unless I have
plenty Of food, I feel very low"
writes a reader.
It is possible to lose weight with
out emitting any diet essential.
Meals must be planned very care
fuy, however, and it Is generally
wise to add extra vitamins and iron
in the form of concentrates. Your
physician will advise you in regard
to this. Let me say again that a
strenuous reducing program should
be undertaken only under the super
vision of physician. He will gen.
orally have a metabolism test taken
| to find out whether some of your
weight is due to low metabolism. In
this case, he will give you something
to speed 1t up and you will, there
fore, begin to lose more quickly than
you would otherwise.
One of the reasons why it Is so
hard to follow a reducing program is
the fact that when we have been
eating large meals the stomach has
stretched and when 1t is not filled it
will show its resentment This re-
suits in that low feeling" The in
PRODUCTION of hot bouillon or tea
between meals is great help. The
SKINNED milk, which is part of the
diet, may be used at this time in its
own form or in unsweetened cocoa,
to which a little vanilla will give
flavor. The cocoa should not be
strong. The following plan will
serve as skeleton form for the re-
ducing diet.

SWEET CORN is expected to
reach its peak soon. Homemak-
ers, then, who are planning on
canning it, should do so within
the next week or 10 days.
Peaches are still available on
the market, but they will not
last much longer, Canning
should be done by at least next
week. The prices remain the
same.
Grapes, mostly Concords, are
increasing some, and within the
next two weeks the bulk of the
crop is expected to be marketed.
Because of the brisk demand,
prices are not expected TO be-
come much lower than they are
at present, according TO the De-
troit Municipal Bureau of Mar
kets.
Growers are still offering
moderate amounts of canning
tomatoes.
THE SUPPLY of lamb is
somewhat more plentiful than
other meats, but the consumer
should not have much difficulty
in obtaining the cut they desire

prices are relatively unchanged.

THEY'RE HAVING a great
rowdydow in California about
the compulsory teaching of
history as a college course.

vided the little darlings agree.
Which rouses the hackles on

Now get me right. I'm all
for history. I'm all for Cali
fornia schools and kids. And if
ever history courses were needed,
they're needed right now.
But the attitude of the various
professors toward SUCH courses
rouses me to a new height in
ire.

my own baby arrived when l

But when il comes to stand

some one should be given a shot
in the arm of common sense.
And definitely.
Brother Austin
I don't know when the row
started. But one of the lead
ing opponents of old-fashioned
Americanism seems to be
Brother Austin of ST. Mary's
College in Moraga Valley. Says
he:
I'm highly in favor of such
a compulsory historical course.
IL has been a required course
at st. Mary's for years.
1T is absolutely urgent, not
only at the present time but at
all times. I h at our citizens
should learn of the beginning
and the struggles our country
underwent to become the great
nation that it is today. While
important in wartime, it is most
important of all in peacetime
when the proper psychological
attitude must be built up for
wartime"
Contest This View
I have no connection with ST.
Mary's College and no acquaint-
ance with Brother Austin. But
that, says /, is boss sense
and 100 per cent patriotism.
And why any one should con-
test that view in training Amer

see. But they do. AS witness

man of the history department
of Mills College in Oakland. Ac-
cording to DR.. Cardinal Goodwin:
"All of us feel that the stu
dents should have the course
and that every inducement
should be advanced to get STU
dents interested in the course"

compulsory courses in history
because of the students natural
aversion to courses forced upon
them by law"
