WORLD FAMOUS STORIES SCOTTY AND THE CLERGYMAN, BY MARK TWAIN, (Mark Twain, whose real name was Bamuel Langhorne Ciemens, 1835,1910, an American humorist, author of ‘Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckles berry Finn,” _ “Innocents Abroad,” “Stolen White Elephants.” etc.) Scotty Briggs choked and even shed tears; but with an effort he mastered his voice and said in lugubrious tones to the clergyman: re you the duck that runs the gospel mill next door?” “Am I the—pardon me, I believe I €o not understand?” With another sigh, and half-sob, Bcotty rejoined: “Why, you see, we are in a bit of trouble; and the boys thought maybe you would give us a lift, if we'd tackle you—that is, if I've got the rights of it and you are the head clerk of the doxology works next door.” “I am the shepherd in charge of the flock whose fold is next door.” “The which?” ‘The spiritual adviser of the little company of believers whose sanctuary Adjoins these premises.” Scotty scratched his head, reflected 2 moment, and then said: “You ruther hold over me, pard.

Economy in Baby's Shirts, One mother says: My baby outgrew the sleeves of her woolen shirts when they were otherwise good. the toes of her woolen hose. One day I had an idea which has given longer life to the shirts. I cut off the top of the hose and catstitched them neatly onto the sleeves of the shirt. Presto! I had shirts as good as new for baby bet his funeral ain’t going to be no slouch.” “Had deceased any religious convic: Nons? .

We are dependent upon good habits for good character. But good habits are of slow growth. Just telling a child how and when to do | something, and having him do it that once, will not give him a working habit in that idea. He has to wish to do this thing, and do it under his own power, before we can say that he has formed the habit. A little boy or girl will not wash face and hands every time they should be washed although they have been taught to wash from the time they were born. The child must be conscious of the need to do this or that good action and then desire to do it, before the idea takes root in the habit group and forms & part of its character. ‘To be sure a 10-year-old child has some notion of the need of hing hands and e and some desire to do 50, but there are other things he feels the need of doing, and many more he desires to do to a greater depth, than the face washing. It will be a few years before his personal appearance is on his mind so_keenly that the habit is completed. For habit demands need, desire and practice. A mother takes great pains to teach her little da ter to lay a table for luncheon, She sits by and patiently watches the process to the final polish on the salad forks. “And now you know how, I expect you to do it exactly right the next time we have a luncheon party. Oh, no. Some part of that experience will stick, but not all of it. Something will be placed wrong, something will be left out, some detail of service or deco- ration will be spoiled or omitted alto- gether. The girl will not be able to set that luncheon table until she has done it again and again. Practice alone will make an action change from an incident to a fixed response, Practice will 5o im- pose an action upon the mind and body of an individual that the action is in- evitable. That power builds character. So the daily task is important in char- acter building. The habit of doing a thing correctly, of making the right re- sponse to any situation. of being ade- quate to the duiy of the moment, be- comes the end and aim of education. Patiently start the line of thought and action that is to become the good habit that becomes the bulwark of the soul of the child—its character, Steadily dwell on it. Carefully see it through and be- yond its hard place. Remember there is always a time when the routine job, or lesson, or duty, becomes irksome and the child tries to escape. That is nat- ural. Just be wise; say little; look and act expectant; hold on; and the hard place is behind you both. Then you can begin to count on the habit as a func- tioning part of character. (Copyright, 1929.) Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. A small, long, narrow table which might be put to several uses is shown in the accompanying illustration. As it now stands, it would make an excellent dressing table, to be placed before a window or centered in front of a group of windows. The kind of a room in which it should be used is the quaint, old-time type with flowered wall paper, rufiled organdie curtains, hooked rugs, four-poster bed; just such furniture and accessories as are true of that period. Being an adaptation of the old butterfly table, it is truly at home with all of these pieces. The little mirror is removable, allowing it to be slipped back on the window sill to provide more roo mon the table top. ‘This arrangement would make an excellent dressing table for a bathroom. On each side of the mirror a small bracket could be installed to hold bot- tles and jars of toilet preparations, If the mirror is removed entirely, the table may be used in the living room with a chair or sofa. (Copyright, 1920.) SUB ROSA BY MIML Operator! T'm thinking just now of the operator who answers your call, and then repeats your number the way Galli-Curcl sings the “Shadow Song” from “Dinorah.” Some coloratura, belleve me! And yet, how many people who curse the operator when she gives them Finan Haddle 8463, instead of Columbus 1492, think of her marvelous voice? Why, I know a man, a music lover, who often rings up some imaginary number just to catch the sweet notes of the nightingale at the central office, He reasons that some people pay $5.00 to hear a prima donna sing, but he can get all the music he wants for 5 cents. Yes, he can get a hundred such solos from the operator for the price of admission to the opera house. The man who trains the soloists at the opera knows his business, all right, but he isn't one-two-three with the man who tells the operators how to | modulate their voices so that a fellow thinks he must have connected with Heaven rather than central. It may be all right to make a few cursory remarks now and then when the operator doesn‘t produce the party at the other end of the line, but it's better to think of the sweet tones you hear as soon as your nickel begins to get its work in. We live in the age of nolse plus saxophones, so that a little telephone music heard in the quiet of the booth is a good thing for people who get ear- ache as soon as they are out in the street again. I haven’t any girl friends who are operating, but I think that the switchboard women are just peaches |and eream for volces. | Why don't they put them on as an- nouncers at stations WURST, WCTU and WHIFF? Their voices sound bet- ter than the fog-horns which we have to listen to when we want to know who's going to sing or play.

BY CENSOR BY DEWITT MACKENZIE. Adolphe the Rat. ‘This tale involves so many outstand- ing personalities that one scarcely knows how to, begin. There was Adolphe the Rat, and there was the adjutant captain, and there was Pvt. Gubbins, who acted as squire to the captain, which is to say, that Gubbins polished his knight's Sam Browne belt and performed other simi- lar duties such as fall to a batman, or personal servant. At first glance one is inclined to make Gubbins the hero. Gubbins was a re- markable character, His one great sin against humanity was his face, which bore a striking resemblance to the melancholy visage of the Brother Stig- gins of Pickwickian fame. But Gubbins possessed none of the guile of the reverend gentleman whom he resembled. If he had any weak- ness at all, it lay in a penchant for the cast-off wearing apparel of his master. Daily he importuned the adjutant cap- tain with such suggestions as, “Beggin’ pardon, sir, but you won't be needin’ them boots any more, will you, sir?” Second-hand clothing was a fetish for Gubbins, but & man can have worse faults than that. Undoubtedly Gubbins has claims to the position of hero, Still it was Adolphe the Rat who started the whole ihing, and had the adjutant captain not played his .part there would have been no show. Oh, well, pick the hero for yourself. I'm going ahead with the story as best I can. It's a true account of an event that happened in 1917, Adolphe and the adjutant captain and Gubbins all lived in the maze of dugouts under the British front-line trenches in the Lens sector in France. Gubbins cleaned the boots and belts and made himself generally useful, but he was the shadow of his master and never was far away from the one he served. The adjutant captain, being all-around man for the colonel, main- tained an office in one of the dugouts, and here nightly Adolphe used to visit him. Adolphe was a big trench rat, but he was not like others of his breed. Adophe was superior. Even his coat was not of the ordinary brown, but was almost black and as sleek and shiny as Gubbins' nose. Every night as the adjutant sat at his “desk” of rough boards, working by the light of candles stuck in bottles, Adolphe the Rat used to come in for a friendly chat and the few bits of bread which represented the best the adjutant's hospitality could provide. Always the program was the sam~ Adolphe would mount the table and LAST year more than 150,000 persons died as the result of diseases that started as com- mon colds! Now with colds and epidemics sweeping the country you cannot be too careful. Vapex is the most modern way to keep free from colds and to stop a cold at the start, Put a drop of Vapex on a folded handkerchief. Breathe the vapor deeply through the nose.

Then his nose would quiver and his whiskers would gyrate in pure Jjoy as the adjutant talked to him and petted him. It was the children's hour for Adolphe. Finally would come the offering of crumbs to seal the pact of friendship. So for many weeks, until one night Adolphe found a lack of welcome. The adjutant was burled in work. The fighting had been heavy in his sector, and even then the great German shells were making the earth about him quake. Orders, dispatches and what not were stacked before him. Adolphe snuggled up and tried his best to attract attention. No good. The adjutant didn't even see him. Adolphe’s feelings were cruelly hurt, but he was a superior chap? as we have said, and he had brains. There was no need to_sacrifice his supper, just for pride. So he started on a still hunt for his crumbs. Adolphe nosed about the table, but he saw no bread. He poked his head into all the nooks and even took a look over the edge, Not much sustenance down below; nothing but big boxes of Verey lights which were kept there for safety. Even a rat couldn't eat ex- plosives. ‘There was only one place left to look, and that was behind the bottle with the burning candle in it. Adolphe sighed and trotted over to the light. He must have stubbed his toe, for over went the bottle and the candle dropped squarely into an open box of Verey lights. Great rockets of every description began to go off, The little room was filled with ‘em—green ones, blue ones, red ones, every color under the sun. Some were intended to signal a re- treat, some were meant to order an at- tack and some told of an imminent as- sault by the enemy. But big or little, green or red, the unhappy adjutant ultimately got them all on some por- tion of his anatomy. Adolphe the Rat, being superior and a thinker, dis- appeared. ‘The whole place was rocking with the explosions. The adjutant finally fought his way through the barrage to the door and staggered out into the run- way. His hair was burned off, his face and hands were black and blistered, his clothing was burning in a dozen places. As he stood swaying, dazed by the flerce bombardment which had all but cost his life, his shadow slid eut from behind a post. Gubbins looked his smoking master over in sorrow for a moment and then his face brightened. “Beggin’ pardon, sir,” he said with a salute, “but you won't be needin' that tunic any more, will you, sir?” Look out for that “just a cold”— Get VAPEX from your druggist immediately.

H. writes: “My daughter is 11 months old and just starting to walk, We have & nice new bungalow and new furniture. She is continually pulling at things, banging doors, ete. Is there any way of correcting the child and making her understand that she must leave good furniture alone? I have slap her hands, but it doesn't seem to any good. I never feel at ease, and I am sure my friends don't, when I take her out. Also she acts strange with new people, How can I break her of this?” Answer—You have the traditional at- titudes toward childhood. The baby must be prevented from touching any- thing and if he does he must be pun- ished. He must be “broken” of the habit of feeling strange. ‘We cannot break the child of touch- ing things, of making use of the furni- ture in order to learn all about it. He cannot develop physically unless he uses every motor activity of which his body is capable, and some of these will be certain to take the form of activities which do not please the mother. He cannot grow mentally if he is prevented from finding out everything he possibly can about all the objects which are within his vision. A child who did not move and showed no interest in his surroundings would be both a sick and & mentally defective child. Because these are natu activities engaged in by all healthy children, we must accept them. Naturally, he can- not destroy the furniture, and we must offer him toys that are like the things we have in the house, d when he shows a disposition to isuse” the furniture in a way that would be truly harmful to it we must tell him repeat- edly, and firmly, that these are mother's things, and then immediately give him something similar that is his own. This takes constant repetition, but the child learns if we substitute an equally pleas urable activity for the one that is be- ing denied him. Furniture is to be used in normal ways. The home is the child's as well as yours. Furniture isn't set in a home as an exhibit, but to be used. Since it is large, a child has to climb upon it (if he has no furniture of his own) and he must touch it and handle it in a8 way to satisfy his curiosity. A good housekeeper resents the mark of a small hand, but that is only your attitude that is making a god of a piece of wood rather than looking upon it only 8s & useful implement in the home. It you respect the baby’s desire to be “let alone” he will stop being strange. Ignore him and make eversone else | ignore him. Then he will cease being ! selfconscious and crying in the pres- | ence of strangers, We demand and ex- peet too much of small babies and | we thrust ourselves upon them. When we stop that they cease fearing us. e . = Good Clam Chowder. Remove the black parts from one quart of clams.

The foundation for correct posture is in the lower part of the trunk, in- cluding the lower back and abdomen. It is upon this section of the body that the upper parts are balanced. There- fore, if you have some postural defect, like round shuolders or hollow back, begin correcting it by learning to hold the lower abdomen flat and the hips back, then raise your chin and elevate your chest. Do not try to hold your shoulders back in a stiff, uncomforta- ble position, but let them fall into cor=- rest lines. Nothing takes the place of daily and hourly practice of correct posture. The body should be held as tall as possible without any straining. The head is erect, with chin drawn slightly in, the chest is high, abdomen flat, the spinal curves not exlgxfl'aled, knees straight, but not stiff. In trying to correct any sort of postural defects the general muscular tone of the body must be considered. This is especially true of underweight, nervous types of girls whose muscles are not strong enough to hold their bodies in an erect, grace- ful position. In such cass st and nourishing food are essential. Exercises also have their place, but they should be done lying down on the back. Below I am describing for you & few corrective exercises for different postural defects. Whenever possible such exercises should be taken under the personal supervision of a physical culture instructor who specializes in corrective work. Exercise 1. Lie on your back on the floor with arms at sides, knees together and bent up so that the thighs and knees are almost vertical. Inhale, raising chest and keeping ab- domen flat and back on the floor. Ex- hale, drawing abdomen in. This is a simple exercise and easy enough for Straight Talks to W persons whose weak muscles result in poor posture. Repeat four to eight times. Exercise 2. Lie face down on the floor with a small pillow under your abdomen. Execute the arm move- ments of the breaststroke in swim- ming, swinging the arms out at the Tnhale ~ raise chest. sides and back instead of under the body on the return stroke. This 1is an excellent exercise for flat chests and round shoulders. Exercise 3. Hang by your hands from a bar. Keep chest raised, hands about 30 inches apart on the bar. Bend and stretch the legs alternately. Then raise and lower legs with knees straight. This is a splendid exercise for the abdomen, providing a strong foundation for correct posture. Exercise 4. Stand erect with arms out at shoulder level, palms up. Keep- ing trunk and head quiet, descril small circles in the air with the flnfe“l. moving the whole arm at the shoulder. Start the movements in a backward direction. (Copsright, 1929.) omen About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN, Your Child’s Bank. No mother can expect her child to have any respect for the property of others if she does not display a respect for the property of her child. This may sound far fetched, but countless thieves have revealed that their first missteps were but imitative of those of some adult at home. One of the favorite subjects of car- tonists used to be that of the parent who, suddenly short of cash, resorts to rifling his child’s bank when all is still Somehow that cartoon never seemed funny to many of us, and that may explain the infrequency of its appear- ance today. We all know that children are high- 1y imitative. We take a few dimes from son’s bank, and think it humorous: why houldn't son see just as big a joke in stealing a few dimes from mother’s purse? We might go so far as to say, “It's all in the spirit of good, clean fun.” Only we know it is not. The difference between stealing and borrowing surreptitiously is that the former phrase is uglier. Honesty is largely a matter of respect for the prop- erty and rights of others. A child’s bank, and a child’s posses- sions, should be inviolate. The child should be taught that a respect for his rights involves a reciprocal respeet for the rights of others. Modern society, as well as ancient, was founded on that 305 famous Beauty Shops say, “Give your hands ECENTLY, 305 of the finest beauty salons in the United States reported this interesting fact— ““With all our experience,” —these experts said —“‘we cannot distinguish between hands that never wash dishes and hands that use Lux in the dishpan. « « « Evidently, Lux gives real beauty care.” These experts observe thousands of hands and they know! In their own words, Lux means ‘“beauty care” right in your own dishpan! Isn’t this a startling idea? Yet women instinctively know it is true. ‘Washing their fine things in the gor- geously sparkling Lux suds, women themselves noticed how smooth and white their hands looked afterward. Now they are washing dishes with Lux to give their hands the same gentle beauty care—three timesaday! The secret is simple . « Luxis so utterly pure, so delicately refined by the special process used in its making, that it protects the precious beauty oils—the youth oils —of the skin. Many soaps dry up these oils, leave the skin parched— red and drawn looking. Best of all, this beauty care costs almost nothing.
