Among the worthless things that clutter the mind is too much concern about what one's friends are doing. If a woman is letting the thoughts be filled with trivial matters of this sort and talks about them, & woman becomes a gossip, and whoever heard of a gossip becoming great in any occupation? Also, to be constantly thinking of “And he said,” “And she said,” with the gaps between filled with repetitions of sec- ond-hand conversations, lessens one's grasp on what is important. Unless & person can be of help to a friend in trouble or enter into her pleasures, it is a mistake to get too much involved in the events of her life, since this frequently means the neglect of matters of vital importance in her own life. There is a friendly interest in whatever is of moment to those one knows. that is apart from this recounting of other people’s affairs. Milling over the events in one's own life kills contentment and happiness. There are always matters of more im- portance to think about than the de- talls of a past happening. Give it its due thought, but learn that it does not par to dwell on past things. Pick out the happy results of the event and treasure them. They are the elements of value. They will bring pleasure to dwell upon. If you would be content and happy, learn to think constructively. Center the thoughts on subjects that will bring results desired.

Every one stopped what he happened to be doing that he might listen. Blacky the Crow sat like a biack image the top of a tall pine tree. Sammy 't move a feather. Drummer ‘oodpecker clung to the side of the old stump as if he were a part of it. Yank Yank the Nuthatch, who had been coming head first down the trunk of a tree, stopped right where he was, head down. Tommy Tit the Chickadee, who is a little feathered acrobat, clung motionless upside down to the tip of a hemlock branch. For two or three minutes no one moved. Then Peter Rabbit grinned. “Well,” said he, “did you all hear it or did you all dream that you heard it?” Before any one could find his to reply the song was heard again. time it seemed to come from back of & T R e ly. Hardly song ended when Sammy darted down to that little hemlock tree to find that . There are no_sharper, quicker eyes in all the Green Forest than those of Sammy Jay. He hadn't a doubt that he would find that singer. You can guess his surprise and chagrin when he falled to find any one but Whitefoot ‘Wood Mouse, and - Whitefoot was running along one of his private little R‘lhs and whisked out of sight in a ole in the ground. “There 15 no one here” declared Sammy. At once the others flew over to aid in the search. They looked high and low and for a considerable distance around, but they found no one. In the midst of their searching that same lit- tle song was heard once more. It seemed to come from the big, old stump. There was a rush to get there first, but when they did get there only ‘Whitefoot was to be seen and he was carefully making his tollet. “Who was that singing over here?” demanded Sammy Jay. There was a look of surprise on ‘Whitefoot's face as he asked inno- cently, “Was some one singing?” ““You must to have been dreaming, Sammy Jay. You must have dreamed that you heard some one nn(lng.; spoke up Peter Rabbit, and turned head to hide a grin. “He didn't, for I heard it,” cried Tommy Tit the Chickadee. “And 1" declared Drummer the ‘Woodpecker. “And 1,” added Yank Yank the Nut- hatch. “Dear me, could it be that you all were asleep and had the same dream?” asked Peter. Peter was having his turn at teasing now and he was making the |most of it. Yes, indeed, Peter was | having his turn. | (Copyright. 1930.) DAILY DIET RECIPE DIABETIC ONION SALAD.

On the shining goal to DOROTHY DIX. and Murderers , Don Carlos, Out of the Way. GLASS. HOWLING WITH FURY, DON CARLOS TRIED TO STAB THE DUKE. Philip II of Spain laughed joyously when he heard of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. Some say it was the first time he was ever seen to laugh, It was Jjustice, he considered, and the idea that 1t was murder never entered his head. In the case of his son, Don Carlos, the heir to the throme, things were dif- Perhaps he didn’t murder him, or at least the killing was justifiable. Don Carlos was the child of first cousins, both of them descended from | the insane Juana of Aragon, so it is not strange that his mind was insecure. To make matters worse, he fell downstairs d injured his poor head. He became really insane. When his chamberlain was slow in answering a bell Don Carlos threw him out of the window, causing him severe injuries. His shoemaker sending him a pair of tight boots, he had them l:cl;%ym up and boiled and aetually fore unfortunate maker to eat them. He hated his father and all his min- isters, particularly the Duke of Alva. When duke, upon going to the Neth- erlands, went to say good-by to him, the prinée, howling with fury, tried to stab him. Alva dodged the blow and wres- tled with him on the floor, not hurting him, until servants came and took him over. Philip decided he could not leave this mad youth to inherit the throne. He threw him into prison. ‘What happened after that is not defi- nitely known. However, the death of Don Carlos was in 1568, several moderate oven.

He had some justification, of course, And a man who could laugh at the mas- sacre of St. Bartholomew would not hes- itate at causing the death of an obnox- lous son. There is a romantic story that Don Carlos’ madness resulted from his father's marriage to Elizabeth of France, whom he wanted for his own wife. This tale also alleges that Philip’s imprisonment of his son was due to jealousy because he had won the heart of Elizabeth. It was said that inasmuch as Elizabeth quickly followed Don Carlos to the grave, her heart was broken for him. On all these suppositions is founded Schil- ler’s drama “Don Carlos.” There prob- ably is no truth in them. (Copyrisht. 1930 Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Unless baby is taking one of the fir- radiated olls, it is very possible that his mother is bewailing cod lver ofl stains. There are many ways of giving cod liver ofl, and it is timely to.men tion them now. If only one-half tea. spoonful is given at a dose, the ofl may be kept chilled and the dosage shot far back into the child’s mouth by means of a medicine dropper. Use a dropper with & sl straight glass stem, washing and boiling it after each dose, Mothers who have used this method speak highly of it. The bal fm little taste of the oil and, because it is far back on the tongue, it slips down easily. If the oil is given right after a meal instead of on an empty stomach, it is more apt to stay down. The baby should wear a bib when taking the oll, and an oflcloth, one of generous size, is good. Giving the oll when baby is in the bath is another method, but means that baby would have the oil on an empty stomach and would be subject to a good deal of necessary activity during the bath, so this method very often results in baby’s spitting up the oll. It is possible to give the oil with the formula, with orange juice or with other fruit juices. I consider this a poor thing to do, as a rule, for if baby dislikes the ofl, he also dislikes the food in which it has been administered. It is better to stick to the plain or flavored oll and to give small doses alone. Our leaflet on “Methods of Removing Cod Liver Oil and Other Stains” is ex- tremely helpful, for such spots seem bound to appear despite the utmost care, If you wish the leaflet, send a sel! dressed, stamped envelope with your request to Myrtle Meyer Eldred, “Your Baby and Mine” department of this newspaper. ‘The young baby is given cod liver ol persistently these days, beginning at the second month. Young babies are without sense, of discrimination and cod liver ofl is accepted without protest. The mother's attitude is influential, however, for if she administers the dos- age with an expression of disgust, baby isn’t going to gobble it up as if it were ambrosia. The older the child grows, the more finicky he becomes about new tastes and new foods, and the dosing of ofl for this young independent creature is often a real struggle. All babies, whether breast or bottle fed, need cod liver oll, and it behooves the mother to mask her own distaste and start it early enough in baby’s life to prevent the development of rickets and also to forestall that growing sense of taste and discrimination which makes cod liver ofl dosing & daily battle.

(Copyright, 1930 A Sermon for Today »Y IIT.JD'N R. GUNN. Daughters. “That our daughters may be as cor- ner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace.”"—Psalms, 144:12. David here gives us a pleture of ideal womanhood. He desires that our daugh- ters shall be\u corner stones or col- umns, hewn' and polished after the fashion of a palace. There is here the idea of beauty. Beauty is an asset of great value. Physical beauty in face and figure, and beauty in dress and manners are desir- able, and should be given careful con- sideration. There is no virtue in un- necessary ugliness of face and form and fashion. But true beauty is not simply skin deep, it is the outward express| of a cultured and beautiful soul. Purity of mind and heart secures the highest beauty. There is here also the idea of strength. Bodily vigor is & part of their desirable strength. Habits which de- stroy it are a dishonor to womanhood. Strength of mind is not less desirable. The day has passed when we speak patronizingly of the intellectual attain- ments of women. They are today win- ning honors everywhere in the educa- tional world, even in the higher branches of science. Moral force, how- ever, is woman’s highest element of strength. Physical health and mental vigor, with strong moral character as the crowning element, make the ideal woman. Such a woman is, indeed, a corner stone, a pillar of support. She can hold the home and make it secure against every disrupting and defiling influence. She can hold up the structure of society, and be a mighty support to the state. But when shall cur daughters be such corner stones? Only when by faith they become united to Christ as the chief corner stone. Women of worldly 1deals lose their crown of glory. Only women with Christian ideals attain the highest wt honor. And they are the corner stones of the home and society. “There's one gl-co in the Arctic every the tourist o oroug! t sees, Says Puffy as he gets to work to fix his plane with skis. “It can't be missed because the saws and hammers make such noise.

The trouble comes about because work in offices is still so new to women.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL promptly to the right end. If you cannot do this, you are a failure and the crowd submerges you finally. Now, schools are organized and sup- ported with the idea that they shall fit the children to live successfully. Much of the time and money put into the schbols so organized and supported is | wasted if that is the idea for which they exist. Children are not trained to| think and to act independently in the usual graded school. They must follow directions and in & mass move toward fon | the teacher’s objective, That is necessary to a great in the beginning. The little children have to be taught the tools of educa- tion and these must be taken from the teacher as they are. There is no dis- cussion possible about the multiplica- tion tables and the sounds of the let- ters of the alphabet. These must be learned, and the sooner and the more perfectly the beiter. But when the tools are ::gulred. when the children are all ready for work, their tool. bright and shining, what then? Are they still to follow directions, still to get tools for learn- ing? Are they never to go on their own? We know that if they are to sustain themselves in the outside world they must haye training that will en- able them to do so, but we cannot let them have it. Why not? Because our schools are so organized that it 1s impossible for the teacher to allow a child to gét out of step. That is no fault of the teacher. He is given his school and fits equipment and he must do what that organiza per- mits. If he can manage to enlarge the lcoR: of his activity, all very good; but if he cannot—and usually he cannot— the children follow the leader for the eight years of elementary school. ‘What i to be done? Nothing can be done until we as a people are conscious of the need of the better sort of educa- tion. When we know that it is not extent i to good to ask 50 children to do the same reach, work at the same time in the same wry, and we vide, for a school that will allow individual work, we will do better. ‘The new sort’of school will need an- other sort of building.
