And the children call ‘Cream-O."" “Can you guess why I call him Cream-O0?'' Chew Chew asks, and he then explains it is because he drinks plenty of milk. Then Cream-O, an exceptionally ed- ucated dog for one made of muslin, sawdust, wool and shoebuttons, tells the children with his bushy head and worsted paws that he drinks three gasses of milk a day, sleeps with his BHEW CHEW ENTERTAINING CROWDS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. 8 and thor- window open, goes to bed at sleeps until seven, and has a oughly enjoyable life. “Oh, look at these lovely red cheeks," Chew Chew suddenly says, and picks out a bouncing girl from the eager circle of children. “And Took how well she is. I'll bet she drinks milk." And sure enough she does—three glasses a day. Then, while extolling the virtues of milk, Chew Chew sud- denly pops: “How many of you coffee for breakfast?” And as « surprisingly large number of hands go up he sighs a mournful “Oh-h-h! Here two little boys come to. his aid, one thin and wan who confesses he drinks coffee and the other sturdy and healthy who drinks milk, sleeps with his windows open, eats plenty of vegetables and is altogether virtuous. When Chew Chew fails to find any muscle on the thin one he extracts a glassful of coffee from his elbow. Lean one steals a glass of milk Chew Chew is about to offer the healthy boy, and lo and behold, “Skinny” de- velops muscle. All the time Chew Chew entertains the children with idle chatter, good natured burlesque and legerdemain. Then he touches on the question of fruit and vegetables and through his play unconsciously impresses upon the little brains the fact that oranges, apples, bananas, spinach, beets, let- tuce, et al., are as essential for bright eyes, rosy cheeks and healthy lungs as 11 hours’ sleep with the windows open. He then warns them against pickles, pastries and other “lux- uries."’ But the children, into submissiveness, have lost none of their alertness.

Of all the bad habits that detract from your * good appearance I know of none that is more an- noying to others than the perpet- , ual giggling that 80 many engage in without the slightest provoca. tion. Now do not go to the other ex- treme and try to assume a sober, martyr air, Extremes are never Pleasant. A cheerful, if ‘ - A chee: happy taugh the most pleasant sound in the world Laughing is healthy and never mars anybody's beauty. It will away the most stubborn case of indi gestion, it sends the blood through the body with renewed vigor, it is a splen- did tonic. Laughing may leave little lines in the face, but they are pleas- ing lines and give character to rather than detract from your beauty. But the little bad habit I refer to ts the perpetual inane giggling that has no foundation in the conversation With most of you it chase arises from nervous self-consclousness. I hay watched many of you and I have found that just as soon as you are ill at ease, because you do not know just what to do or say at that particular moment, you cover the emburras ment by giggling the situation away This gives the impression of insincer ity and frivolousness when in reality you may be in your heart ubsolutely sincere and earnest IT never call your attention to any little personal habit that | marring your good appearance unless I know positively that you « it, and by curing it greatly yourself, Perhaps you tr possible to get over this habit of sling, that you do it without think- think is an cure k By Doris Doscher w York Evening 14) by Press Publishing Co. ing about it. Or perhaps you think it is not a serious enough drawback to be called a bad habit. But how are others to judge us except by the im- pression we make upon them? You may resent being called frivo- lous, but it is just this incessant gig- giing that gives this impression of your character. I assure you if you could just once see how silly you look and how the face is drawn into un- Pleasing lines, you would be anxious to overcome this giggling habit. As I have said above, it arises from your not being master of every situa- tion that arises. You feel embarrassed by the lack of the proper thing to say or do. This can all be overcome if you tone up your system so that ner- vousness is completely forgotten. Ton- ing up simply means getting sufficient sleep, eating the proper kind of food and taking systematic exercises, com- bined with a cheerful outlook on every situation in life, Then nothing can feaze you and life will have a new zest Physical culture or the cultivation of your physical beauty is more easily accomplished than you imagine. But first you must rid yourself of all of these little habits that detract. You wil! And ¢! will have neo incline tion to giggle, nor be embarrassed, if you are going about the cultivation of your physical attractions in a sys- te:natic manner.

EAR READER: Do you 1D) know that the majority of people do not think? That is why so many are poor; they probably could be mas- ters, but they are too lazy to think. They simply follow their leader and that is why a few shrewd men get the id they are leaders and carry it out while the great majority follow on behind. Majority rule? This is one of the great jokes of the age. The majority is that great mass which thinks not, acts not, and dreams of a time when things will be better—but with- out effort or work If you wish to rise above ths ordinary mass, get out and do something—constructive think- ing which will make you and the world better. Make the most out of your- self by employing strong reso- lution and imperative decision.
