T IS said that the little six-year-old prince of Rumania, when it was first announced to him that he was king of a great country and heir to seventy millions of dollars, did not take kindly to the idea. Young as he was he realized to som: extent the responsibility which _.his new obliga- tion placed upon him, and a serious, sad look came over his little face. “l shall not be able to play any more,” he said. It is a serious siwation when, whether frem lack of opportunity or from lack of inclination, one is not able to play Nothing more than play recreates a man. We are in a sad state, indeed, when we can no longer play. A well-kncwn business man, suc- cessful, energetie, and still full eof vigor, retired from the active duties of his business two or three years ago. When asked why when he was still so able to carry on his work he had determined to give it up, he said: “Just because I want to play,” and playing for him meant work of an- other sort, freedom from the ham- pering restraints of business obliga- tions. Those who are following his movements since he resigned from the position which for many years he held cannot see that he is any less busy than he was before. He is playing to good effect. Some people do not know how to ulsy. Fom two or three suminers | have been at the same hotel with Graves, when he was on what he called his vacation. He did not know how to play. He was restless in the morning until the mail came in, He wandered about the grounds meditat- ing, his head down, his mind taken up with problems that should have been left a thousand miles away. If he engaged anyone in conversation fit was to discuss matters of business or to reveal his agitation and worry over the unsolved difficulties which be should have forgotten when he shut down his desk and left his office for a month of rest. He was like a lion shut up in a cage, pacing backward and forward throwing himself against the bars or sleeping gloomily in his cell. He took no interest in sport of any kind. He was happy only when he got back to the regular routine of work, for he did not know what it meant to play. There is an old man down the streets—not so old either as years go—who has moved in from the coun- try. He has many years yet ahead of him, if he takes life as he should. But he has nothing to do. and he has not learned to play. have a garden, or a dog, or an in- terest in chickens or tools or golf— anything to amuse himself.

Money in Odors East Pittsburgh, Pa.—Modern chem- istry is demonstrating that even odors can be turned into dollars and eents. Gases that have polluted the atmos- phere are now being captured and con- verted into the liquids from which they originated, to the profit of both industry and the public. Experts of the materials and process engineering department of the West- inghouse Electric and Marufacturing company decided that too many smells were going up the chimney in the proeess of treating insulation with resinous materials. So they trapped the gases as fast as they were gen- erated, mixed them with water and then distilled this liquid, recovering from 80 to 90 per cent of the solvents used in the formula.

Leavenworth, The BABY oR Why do so many, many babies of to- day escape all the little fretful spells and infantile ailments that used to worry mothers through the day, and keep them up half the night? If you don’t know the answer, you haven't discovered pure, harmless Cas- toria. It is sweet to the taste, and sweet in the little stomach. And its gentle influence seems felt all through the tiny system. Not even a distaste- ful dose of castor oil does so much good. Fletcher's Castoria is purely vege- table, so you may give it freely, at first sign of colic; or constipation; er diarrhea. Or those many times when you just don’t know what is the mat- ter. For real sickness, call the doc- tor, always. At other times, a few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. The doctor often tells you to do just that; and always says Fletcher's. Other preparations may be just as pure, just as free from dangerous drugs, but why experiment? Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its weight in gold! Children Cry for HEADACHE RELIEVED d_>,, . .
