r
DISLIKE OF PEOPLE COMES
FROM A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
We Seldom Hate Those We Really Know Never
- Ignore the Possibility of Failure,
Says Theodore Vail
XI
TOO tunny of ui. I am Rfrnltl. nro In
clined to decide nt once nn meeting n
person whether that person Ih llknhlo
or not, nnd to hbldo by that first Im
presalon for alvvnya. unless cotnethlnR
happens to upset our view?.
There Is the fortunate belnc whose
personality attracts Immcdlntel), others
Who make no Impression whatever, still
others who leave otic with n disagreeable
sensation, 1 believe there Ik tnoie hope
for this last tpc than for the absolutely j
colorless Individual The person whom j
you positively dislike on first acquaint i
ance often, after this Im discounted,
proves extremely Interesting when you
learn to really know him
SOMn one has mid that up seldom hate
any one we know ery well This
is true. We could not have known them
well unless there was somcthltiK In com
mon nnd that something must always bo
a bond, even though there may bo misun
derstanding whlrh cause nn estrange
ment. Haven't ou known number clrl. per
haps lnttmntcl. nnlv to have a illsaKree
ment which nut nn end to nn cas koItik
friendship' Hut although ou may never
see her do you ically hate her'' Don't
you find joursclf svmpathlzlnR when you
hear of any misfortune she may have
had, or wondering, hnlf-amusedly. Just
What she has done under certain circum
stances' I think we nie so ofton prone In crlt
Iclre the actions of those we know only
by name, assuming their motives to be
other than tbe renllv are
Whereas with acquaintance comes un
derstanding and the prejudice frequently
disappears
AINK can hold before himself the pro
'' slblllty of failure nnd yet have per
fect confidence In himself, nccordln to

them with enough sense not to tacklo
Howdy Sometime two or three would
tackle him nt a time, which was not fair
All tho people soomed to like to see them
fight, and all of them were against Howdy
So I picked up n club nnd we went back
across the bridge and down by the river,
where 1 plaved In tho sand and had a lot
of fun making houses
Then I decided to go out to Junes, and
1 did nnd June was not there. So I went
on home, and who ahould be there but
JuneB auto nnd June Just getting out' She
said "I have come to see you nnd Howdy
J'atsy. I hope I am welcome" I tald.
'You are as welcome ns anything Oo right

Some ono had put a pall nf water up
over tho door, so that when she opened the
door the water went all over her It was
certalnl) a good Joke and I laughed till
I doubled up Hut June was so mad that
she held her head high and said. "You are
absolutely Impossible ' Then she marched
out and got Into her auto and went away.
.That night, when Howdy nnd I kneeled
down, I prayed "Dear mother, I haven't
aid much latolv about that hnhy slater,
but don't think I have forgotten about It.
I am having a pretty good time but I need

Hint Hilly started to run nnd did not stop
until ho wan far, far away Then he sat
down to think.
"That waa a severe blow to me " he was
saying over and over again to himself. "I
think It Is time for me to go home now and
be a hero 1 will have to stop and find out
vhat a real hero Is before I greet my wife
She'll think all tho more ot ine after I have
been through the war
"How the people of Hoatvllla will welcome
me' I hope they have a band to greet
their returning hero Think of all the bat
ties I have been In!
"There was the one where I upset the

then there Is my last battle with the cook
Ha ' Ha ' I can sco that fat fellow yet aa he
ran after me 1 can feel him, too, for my
sme is very sore
"My, how I hate brooms!"
Hilly stretched himself out on the grass
and began to yawn Ho went to sleep In
a Jiffy, and when he opened his eyes once
more whom should he see but Mister Jay
Bird Just above his head
Now, MlB'er Jay Bird was a very wise
old fellow and he thought Billy had been
up to mischief, and so he asked: "What
have, you been up to, my good friend Billy?"
"I've been with the army. I was the
mascot that's ahead of the general, you
know There were several of us, but I
was the BOSS"
"Who ever heard of a 'boss' In the armyt"
asked Mister Jay Bird, with a laugh.
'There has to be a boss everywhere,
Didn't you know that?"
"No, I'm not aa smart as you what do
you call yourself?"
"I'm a mascot and a hero, too," replied
Billy
"What's a hero?" asked Mister Jay Bird,
"A hero Is one who weara a medal for
bravery," answered Billy. "By the way,
where can I gel a medal?"
"If you are a hero, you should have a
medal," replied the bird
"Say," began Billy. "You must really
excuse me, for I'll have to go and get a
medal beforo I talk any more to you."
Billy got up hastily and trotted oft In
search of a medal. Where do you think ha
got It?

ONi: of the most essential things for ap
petite, for good digestion for every
vital function In the body In fact Is mus
cular work The muscles aro the furnace or
the body. If one does not use them his
food Is not burned as completely ait It
ought to be The exercise which one gives
his muscles Increases the flow of bloofl
through them nnd thus Increases the con
sumption of material which Involves a
change of the substance of the body
It Is a common belief that a complete
change occurs In the body substance once
In seven vears This Is not true llterallv.
because, as a matter of fact, some parts of
the body never change This Is true, for
example, of the enamel of the teeth The
blood, however changes every six weeks
and other soft parts change perlxtps everv
threo or four months These changes are
going on contlnuall The soft parts change
rapldlv and the hard parts slowly
Xow, there Is nothing that will quicken
the movement of material through the body
nnd aid the vital changes like cTerclee
That Is vvhv. If one feels drowsy nnd
