In those far-off boyhood days in Hannibal, Mo., he wanted to be a pirate, a river pilot, a trapper, a scout, a bandit. He loved the sensational, for he loved the limelight. At 9 he felt himself a matured |being. At school, & lank, lean country | girl had asked him if he used tobacco. | “No,” he replied, rather ashamed. “Ha cried the big girl to the | others, “here’s a boy that can't chaw terbacker!” 1 8o he set to work to remedy an | obvious defect in his training. and { while he had not made a success of | chewing tobacco he had become an |adept at smoking it. He could cuss, |too, Yes. he was grown up. | Once he was induced to sign the | pledge of the Christian Sons of Tem- perance. But, after a month, he could endure no more of it. “Come on,” he said to his close chum, One mother says: It seemed that every time I was in a hurry to dress the children there was always a drawstring out of some article of their wearing apparel and to | fish after it or draw it clear out and put it in again lost me many precious minutes. One day, I snatched up my crochet hook and caught hold of th string with it and found it such a simple thing to draw the lost ribbx back with that now I keep one hand: when I am dressing the children. I have also found that it helps keep them in place if a few stitches are pu. in the back of the garment, holding | the string firm at this point.

GLASS. “Well, Sam, if you don't deserve it for one thing, you do for something else.” One of the favorite gastimes go | which Chiet Sam led his gang was | practiced from Holliday’s Hill. On Sun- days the lads rolled down big stones to frighten people going to church. Of course the rocks were ‘timed not to hit | anyohe, One Sunday a huge boulder got loose | before they were ready. It bounded |down the hill and headed straight for an old colored man driving a cart. | Beyond him was a cooper shop. Man. | cart, horse and shop all seemed doomed. | Suddenly some obstruction shot the | great stone high in the air and it flew | safely over everything. | The gang gave up this amusement. | Sammy Clemens was not a bad boy, but he went as far in mischief as the | 1Jaw of his elders allowed. His first day | in school was characteristic. He broke the rules and his teacher told him to bring a stick for his cor- | rection. The Missouri woodlands all| about offered a wide variety of Whips, | but Sammy saw some shavings in front | | of the cooper shop and brought one of | them. | If the teacher had a sense of humor | she repressed it. She sent another boy to fetch the whip. Of course, he | selected one of goodly size and fiber. | Right then and there the lad who was to delight the whole world with “Tom | Sawyer,” Huckleberry Finn” and other masterpieces got “a good tanning.” (Copyright, 1929.) in the open and let him learn that he | can depend upon your wisdom and your | fairness. | "If home life is very tame, with no ups and downs of fun and talk and frolic and planning, the children are | likely to select some striking personal- NANCY PAGE “What Ho!” Sang Pirate on the Beach BY FLORENCE LA GAN| Never have beach clothes been so| decorative, “They may or may not be sensible,” sald Nancy, “but-they certainly make picturesque affairs out of their wearers.” She was lcoking at Lois as she spoke.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Perils of the Bath. | | A Virginia doctor reports the sad| case of a major in the Medical Corps | who went_through the war unscathed, | then on his way home from France| grew careless, ventured into a bath- tub, slipped, and suffered fractures of two ribs. The doctor enumerates 15 other reasons why the wet wash is risky, none of which interests me much, but I understand some folks still in- dulge in this rite ncw and then and if such there be I want to warn ‘em. For example, the late Sir Arthur Pearson, a great publisher, lived in comporative se- curity and comfort for years and years; finally he decided to take a bath, and while in the bath he slipped, his head struck a faucet, and he was stunned so that he drowned before aid could reach him. These cases go to show what one little bath will do. Who knows, maybe both of these unfortunate men thought they could take it or leave it alone. My policy is to leave it alone as long as folks leave me alone. Not at all—that's | just where you are wrong. You can't | gauge a man’s cleanliness by the num- | ber of bathtubs he rents or owns. Faintness or vertigo is more liable to happen in hot-water bathing, espe- | clally when a weak person takes bath shortly after eating or when ver: tired. Such people should leave the | door open and have the hall porter look | in on them now and then. John L. Sullivan, famous champion of the ring, died in his bath. What chance have you and I1? Eplleptics may have a seizure while in a bath and drown. Mark Twain's | | daughter met such an end. | Apoplexy (stroke of paralysis from | cerebral hemorrhage) may happen in a | bathtub as well as at dinner or on the street; this, too, might readily lead to | drowning in the tub. I do not believe a bath is likely to lead to apoplexy, or to determine an attack in one of apo- | plectic type. | Young children have drowned when | they fell into a tubful of water in the Invalids or | convalescents subject to faintness have | met a similar end. A lady brought suit against a hotel recently because when she turned on the shower marked “Cold” she was scalded. About 10 years ago a New York hotel settled a similar claim for $20,000, made by a guest who was knocked down by the force of the scalding water. A woman taking a | shower bath in a public bathhouse in | New York slipped, grasped a_faucet to save herself, turned on scalding wa- | ter and steam, which burned her fatally. Many persons have suffered electric & green pepper and one small onion which have been chopped fine and cooked with butter until yellow. Add | one and one-half teasponfuls of salt, a | little pepper and one cupful of fresh or | canned corn. Cook together until well | blended.

Ko- tex has changed the hygienic habits of women all over the world. 85% of hospitals use Kotex filler Can you imagine any more elo- quent tribute to Kotex than this? Surgeons in 857 of the hospitalsin this country select Kotex filler (Cel- lucotton absorbent wadding) for their patients! Not only for sanitary pads, but for all surgical dressings! This is the same, identical, Kotex- made Cellucotton.

In these days of modern styles | in manners and their reflected morals, | Supplying the need tactfully and intel- | the cld style is most precious. “Who was that boy you came home with, Martin?" “Pete Jone: “Pete Jones?

On the flats? Seems to me you might get somebody a bit better than Pete Jones of the flats s a companion.” Martin searches for words to explain that Pete is a fine fellow. He wants to say how square he is, what a good sport he is, how ready he is to help a fellow out of a tight place, how che: ful and unassuming. But how n a lad of ten say all that? The most he can manage Is, “Aw, Pete's all vight.” Better go slowly and discover whether or not Pete is all right. he is, cul- tivate him. If he isn't, gradually draw away from him. But go cautiously and never without certain_knowledge of what you are about. If you sneer at the children’s friends they will hide them from you, for a child loves deeply and protects his love.

Talk about other things, | plan other ways, make new connections |in interesting groups. School and camp and church and club are open to you for this purpose.

She and Nancy wore them around the Summer cottage in which the Millers were spending their vacation. Sombreros and fringed Mexican hats seem to be the thing to wear or the beaches and in the country.
