HOME-COMING
HAVE never been away from home
a great deal, A week at some dis
tant relative's or a summer engaged In
recreation or employment with strung:
ers has made up the tale of my sep
aration from my family. I remained In
the home of my childhood until I had
made a home for myself. But even
these short separations from home
have given me an appreciation of the
Joy of getting back.
1 rushed everywhere in and out of
the house to note the changes that had
taken place during my absence. I
visited my old familiar haunts, I lcoked
gp my old companions, and I snuggled
down in my special corner with a book
in my hand and another sitting by,
both of us happy over the reunion. It
was great to be home again! How
much more so to those who have ye
away for a longer time and at a
greater distance to return to the home
fireside.
Home-coming Is for all of us. and
should be more or less a sentimental
time. We appreciate the comforts and
the privileges and the delights of home
the more by being seperated from them
for a time. It Is another case of ab
sence making the heart grow fonder.
The ahsence and the home-coming,
too, often give one a clearer apprecia-
tion of the obligations and responsi
bilities one should have toward home.
Home-coming is a pleasure because
it gives opportunity to talk over ac
complishments, to stimulate ambition
and to fire the Imagination of the
younger and less experienced members
of the family. We have been out In
the world even though it may be for
so short a time, we have seen Dew
sights, we have done wonderful deeds,
we have tried our wings and have
found them strong. We have experi
ence behind us, and we are eager to
confer its benefits upon the less sophis
ticated members of the family.
Sometimes there is the selfish son
who sees in home-coming only a time
for pleasure, for self-gratification, for
intemperate Indulgence In eating.
drinking and sleeping. He gets out
of the family everything that it will
give,
happiness or to its progress; he looks
out only for what he can get to satisfy
his selfish desires. His return is not
looked for with joyous anticipation;
his going is relief.
Home-coming for all of us should be
a time of renewing old acquaintances,
of visiting old scenes and old friends,
of stimulating old ideals. There are
the younger children to drink in the
taies of adventure and accomplish.

PAINTING THE LILY
HAVE often felt that perhaps fow-
of thelr own heauty and that possibly,
Hke young girls, they would lke some
times to touch It up. Perhaps the lily
sighs for a lipstick or a box of rouge.
Of course a young girl likes to look
pretty; it is a feeling quite human. It
gives her self-respect and makes her
feel more comfortable to know that
she is well groomed, and becomingly
dressed, and it gives her a sense of
satisfaction to realize that her friends,
both male and female recognize her
pttractiveness, Not even a savage
puts on her simple costume carelessly,
I have never quite understood, how-
ever, why the modern girl has so lit.

1 met a little girl yesterday morn-
ing when I was on the way to my of-
fice. Her hair, straight as an Indian's
aaturally, was crudely curled until it
stood out lke a hunch of wire: her
face flamed unnaturally as if she had
been cooking doughnuts over a hot
gitchen stove In the summer time,
Her open-work silk stockings through
which a sharp wind was blowing were
quite In contrast to her heavy fur
coat, the collar of which was thrown
open exposing a rather wide expanse
of chilly bony chest. Perhaps she was
comfortable, undoubtedly she was styi-
ish, but pretty—not even to her fam-
fly. She was grotesque, she was &
caricature of youth, she was a lily
daubed up with paint by the crudest
hand. She looked Illke a bareback
rider nt the circus. 1 eould only laugh
and then feel sorry. She was a per.
fectly nice girl spoiled.
Something to
Think About
A PRICELESS TREASURE
ITHIN your house of clay there
{8 a rare treasure, worth more to
you than all the wealth of the world.
This remarkable jewel, which you
have never seen, Is you, yourself, hid-
den all the time from your most search-
ing gaze.
Even by looking into a mirror, you
can not glimpse its form or discern Its
beauty, though at every moment of
your life you are conscious of its ex-
istence, ’
This wonderful gem, this spark of
enduring vitality, controls your
thoughts, stirs your emotions and
bestows happiness or wretchedness,
It leads you to destiny. In the twin-
sver its nature, its erratic moods are |
beyond all human understanding, nev-
er comprehended except darkly, from
one moment to another,
To know yourself is to spend a life-
time in the quest and fall ut the end,
yet the quest Is worth making.
You may be among the world's
greatest philosophers, but be as Ignor-
ant of yourself as a wooden spoon.
You cannot say’ with certainty wheth-
er In battle you would be a coward or
hero, forgive an arch enemy or de
stroy him, hide yourself If suddenly
impoverished, or face the Jeers of for
mer associates,
Some time ago, a woman who had
shot lions In the fungles of Africa,
fainted before a group of smiling |
friends who had eome to hear her lec
ture. Thelr beaming faces and shin.
Ing eyes were more overpowering to
her than the crouches and charges of
snarling wild beasts, :
Her soul was suddenly pasied, her |
house of clay crumbled. {

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL

SUNLIGHT
E ARE just beginning to appre
ciate the value of sunlight as a
health-producer,
The ancient people worshiped the
sun, which they recognized aus the
source of all energy and life. Modern
science Is proving what the ancient
civilizations believed,
King Tut has had more front-page
publicity in the last two years than
any living man. His name Is known
today to ten times as many people as
ever heard of him while he was alive,
King Tut was a sun-worshiper, as
were many of the people of his day.
The Greeks took sun baths regularly.
The Romans knew that sunlight is of
benefit In healing sores and Infections
and in maintaining health, Pliny, the
Roman historian, wrifes that his aged
friend Spurinna kept himself youthful
by taking an hour's sunbath every day.
When civilization moved from south-
ern to central and northern Europe,
people wore heavy clothing and lived
in houses and forgot the value of sun-
light, .
Dr. Rolller of Switzeriand reports
remarkable cures of tuberculosis In
childrens by the use of sunlight. Dr.

Dr. Lo Grosso says, “With the ex-
ception of one or two isolated hospitals
we are neglecting the greatest of all
healers, the sun, Our eyes are cast
down, whereas healing is from the
skies”
Sunlight kills disease germs In a
short time. The more sunlight we
have In our houses the healthier we
are. The more we get out in the sun
light the healthier our bodies will be.
Exposure of the skin to sunlight
lowers blood pressure, increases the

WHY RISK LIFE TO SAVE 5
MINUTES?
UNCTUALITY f(s a virtue But
even virtue can be carried too far,
Samuel E. Freundlich, sixty years
oid, had been employed by one firm for
over thirty years and Ip all that time
he had never been late. He lived at
Rosehill, a Chicago suburb, and took
the 7:08 a. m. train every morning.
The gther day he was a few minutes
Inte and reached the station just as
the train was pulling out. He ran to
catch it, jumped for the platform,
missed It and went under the wheels
He lost both of his legs and probably
his life.
We are all creatures of habit. Reg
ularity and punctuality are highly com.
mendable characteristics. But they
aren't worth risking your life for.
It's better to break your record than
to break your neck. Be on time, by
all means, but when an occasional mis
caleulation makes you a few minutes
inate, don't risk your life In order to
maintain your record.
Men who are sixty years old haven't
any business running after trains, any-
how, It's all right for the boy or the
young man. But the muscle fibers of
the heart are like rubber. When you
are young they can stretch, even be
yond the ordinary, without permanent
fnjury. But by middle life the heart
muscle is like old robber. It's all right
ps long as you don't put an unusual
strain on It, but If it's stretched, It's
apt to break.
Men and womieéa over forty-five, and
especially over fifty, should avold sud
den, extreme and unusual exertion. If
the heart muscle Is not diseased, it's
fully equal to the ordinary, everyday
strain which is put on it. But sudden
and severe exertion may cause serious
if not fatal consequences. Unusual ex-
ertion Increases the rate and force of
the heart's action. The heart is like
a rubber ball, If It Is overstralned, it
stretches. This may cause acute dila-
tation of the heart, sometimes severe
enough to produce death, or it may re
sult In stretching the valves of the
heart so that they never work properly
thereafter,
Many serious heart conditions have
thelr origin In some unusual exertion,
which is often unnecessary. If you
are middle-aged or past, don’t run after
street onrs or trains. Walt until the
next one comes, even If you are a little
fate. This may require five or ten min
utes’ waiting, but it may mean several
