REWARD NOW,’ RECOGNITION WHILE ONE IS ALIVE, Is WHAT COUNTS brought out.” word that reassures,” “AX mint of money on a desert be spent.” A few days ago the Society of Arts fand Sciences presented prizes for the best short stories of the year as @ memorial to O. Henry, the famous writer, who gave so much joy to Rhousands of people. This is the third year of these prizes, and it has spurred on many an ambitious writer to compete for this annual event. Great good will result accordingly. And ow an- other movement in a similar way is being launched and gaining mo- mentum, It is our own so-called No- aM bel Prize. A foun- dation is being created, and an award or awards will be made from time to time “by @ nationally constituted committee to the individual or group that has ren- p dered, within a specified period, mer- {torious service to democracy, public welfare, liberal thought or peace through justice.”’ It is what America needs most—an Inspiration. It is all very well to say that people who want to do good deeds and help humanity do not want or need or care for any prizes. This sounds very beautiful and idealistic, but the fact is that human nature is so constituted that it needs the assurance of appreciation. A mint of money on a desert island is useless because it cannot be spent. The greatest splendor in the world enjoyed entirely alone becomes a bore. Man cannot live alone, nor can he achieve alone, nor can he enjoy things Jone. He needs and must have as- Disociation and contact with his kind it the best in him is to be brought out. And of all his vital needs it is the clasp cl a sympathetic hand, the word that reassures. If you were to ask the greatest heroes in the world did they want a prize in memory of their fine deeds they would answer emphatically Yet if you were to present them with an insignia of honor their joy ‘would know no bounds. It commem- orates achievement; it is the sign of approval. And who doesn't delight in approval, especially when it is not sought? This attitude begins with the child fn school, with his monthly card. If he fails below he works hard the next month to get a better rating. It 1s only a scrap of paper, yet he goes home triumphantly with.it to get the further word of commendation from his parents. The hope of reward has played a big part in the lives of every human eing, and, while we do not say so in #0 many words, a little recognition for something well done warms the ecockles of the heart and creates a glow that is like no other, Go into the schools and the univer- aities—you will see it everywhere—- the great spirit of competition, the epirit of sport, the spirit of accom- plishing somethir mehody else has not yet mastered—these are the prime requisites in the progress of people. And perhaps one of the prizes that has been most sought for by those most concerned with the welfare of the world is the Nobel Prize, and it was estublished in a forelgn country. a The creating of the new Founda- hon in accordance with the broad Principle announced will do much in America in the years to come. It will be our own Amorican Prize, and as time goes on it will be more hon- ored and revered, and something for which to work. Yes, this Woodrow Wilson Founda- tion, being created by public scription In recognition of the work of the former President of the United States, is bound to promote human welfare by the efforts of those with initiative and desire to further the common good, As Emerson has wisely said, no atter what you do If you do it bet- ter than the other fellow, even though you make a better mousetrap than your neighbor, “the world will make | @ path to your a But there is a vital need for some- thing like this prize for the great souls of the day who strive un- Bealfishly to make the world a better place in which to live.

Wes OUT and gouty conditions, while supposedly more prevalent in England than here, are really not so, the term rheumatic being more commonly used in our country for the same affections; in fact, rheumatism is a much abused word with us. We apply it indiscrim- inately to painful situations from any and every cause. True rheumatism is a febrile disease of infectious origin and usually leaves an indelible impress upon its subjects, whereas gouty states are invariably due to an excess of uric acid, and this tendency is usually inherited, Perhaps no one subject has been hashed and rehashed to a greater ex- tent than that of the diet for gouty and rheumatic patients; and in this connection it may be said that what is one man's meat is another man's poi- son. Take eggs, for instance: Many peo- sons with only a slight gouty tendency cannot ingest eggs in any form with- out provoking a painful attack of one sort or affother, whereas veritable slaves to gout enjoy and assimilate eggs in any form. It is generally con- ceded that fruits and green vegetables, white meat of poultry, freshly caught fish are permissible, whereas fried meats of all sorts, ragouts, made gravies, dried and salt foods are posi- tively prohibited. The following compound is an ex- cellent one for use upon painful finger joints due to gout. It can also be ap- plied over neuralgic areas: Oil of galtheria, 20 minims; guiacol, 20 minims; camphor, 15 grains; menthol, 15 grains; oil of clove, 5 minims; glycerin 1 dram; petrolatum, 1 dram; cerate, 1 dram; lanolin, 1 dram.

Had he not called once alone and had he not brought his sister to call an- other time? “Well, Miss Mindon, I have a prob- lem to solve,"’ confessed young Spat- ford, “It is a problem which affects my whole life, and I want advice, but I doubted whether I had the right to unburden my soul to you. It is a question which will mean much to me and I am all at sea."* “He is going to tell me about the debutante and probably ask ‘me whether he slould marry a girl in his own class to please his family or a working girl whom he loves,"* thought Margie. “You haye béen so understanding always,’ continued Spafford, “that my first impulse was to come to you; then I realized that our acquaintance was slight and that perhaps I had no right to tell you all my troubles.’’ “ Your first impulse was much bet- ter than your second one," Margie found herself saying. “Yes, 1 know it," warmly responded ‘Maisie's “atendy"” ts Cl —she feels her real ‘Hrince Charming” wi to-day at the runegt stares tice most intinate chum Ularence Wimple, a floorwalker, come along see how Margic’s dreams work eut, Spafford; “that is why 1 kept circling your home.

Now that you have made it so easy for me, here goes.’* Young Spafford took off his hat, lit a cigar with Margie's permission and proceeded, “I have an offer to go to Chicago, it’s a bully offer with an architect's firm, It means that I should make three times the salary which I have now.

Tell me, Margie Mindon, what would you do?” “What docs your sister say?" asked Margie just a trifle timid about advis- ing one way or another, though her heart ached to keep him in New York, “Sis? Oh, she wants me to stay here, of course. But you are so senst- ble, Miss Mindon, so absolutely level- headed, Just tell me whether you would hang on to society or launch out. You see there's quite a little problem there."’ Margie was silent and they walked on for several blocks, She was thinking of what he said about so- ciety people. She knew now that the dance with the debutante had meant nothing to him. He liked real people. He liked her. She knew it!

By Doris a certain tautness of the muscles Tf you have overcome the tautness ot the muscles of the apine through the last lesson, you can readily realize how much benefit 1s derived from the control of the muscles around the waist. These muscles react on the digestive system. It is not the quan- tty of food you eat, but how your body takes care of that food, which not only regulates your weight tut to a certain extent governs your health. I have given you for to-day’s lesson an exercise that will give you an opportunity to stretch and flex the muscles around the waist line, You know that muscle which t# not used very soon deteriorates, and it is most important, if you wish to gain in weight, to increase those muscles that support the ribs. ‘There is another object to thia ex- ercise. T want you to cultivate your imagination so that you will feel as if you are pulling a weight. This gives an extra strain to the muscles. It also slows the pace @t which you execute the movement and is very much more beneficial for your par- tioular need, If T can only Impress upon you the great benefit this will be, I feel sure that you will practise it not only as an exercise but learn to sway your body more nimbly as you execute your tanks.

Therefore, note in the illustration that the body is held rigid front the hips down, and the real strain of the bend comes at the waist line. Make this swing and bend as wide and high as you can, covering as much space as possible, Also keep tn mind the thought that you are lifting a weight. \ It oftens happens that a thin person is more developed on one side of the body than the other. ‘This exercise offers a wonderful opportunity to even up both sides if you practise it more times on the sideythat needs develop- ment. ‘This combined with deep breathing will soon put you in fine Easter Bonnets US.

The reason that only one family in every 200, for example, has a fireless, 1s because the other 199 women don't know its benefits, The $20 hat will be worn six months—the $20 cooker will wear five years. From the investment point of view the cooker scores in the budget. Of course I don't mean that hats are taboo or that cookers are indispens- able, my whole point is a comparison of values in the mind of the house- keeper.
