IS SENSE OF HUMOR ON ITS DEATHBED? A professor of philosophy in New York University holds that laughter is on its deathbed. This savant has made "exhaustive researches," the news dispatches say, and these have lead to the inevitable conclusion: People laugh at what they do not understand. Civilization promotes understanding. Therefore, by all the rules of logic, the more civilized men become, the less they will laugh. This is lame logic. Lame in premise, lame in conclusion. People do not necessarily laugh at what they do not understand. Decidedly not. Go into a theater, or to a humorous lecture, and note the things that get the heartiest laughs of all. Are they things that the people do not understand? Decidedly not. It is the simple, homely jokes that get the most laughs, even from the ultra-intelligent. And slapstick comedies on stage or screen put intelligent folk to laughing. Intellectualism does not necessarily mean the loss of all sense of humor. Quite the contrary. Those of keen intellect oftentimes appreciate most keenly little sallies of humor. There are many very profound men and women who know how to laugh heartily, and who appreciate the homely jokes, even though they understand them thoroughly. Indeed, thorough understanding, in many instances, makes enjoyment of humor more intense. There will continue to be laughter, no matter how highly Intellectualism does not necessarily mean the loss of all sense of humor. Quite the contrary.

Chicago has more than 3,000,000 population now. And the lake metropolis is not so excessively modest as to try to conceal the fact. BEGGING IS AN ABUSED PRIVILEGE A "millionaire beggar" is a new development in this state. It has been charged, for some time, that a band of swindling beggars have been making their headquarters in Los Angeles and going to Ventura, Santa Barbara and other Southland cities to ply their nefarious alms-asking operations. These "beggars" are said to be of independent means, living luxuriously and driving about in fine cars. One instance of this humbuggery, has been disclosed in Santa Barbara, where a cripple from Los Angeles operated, begging on the streets and abusing those who refused to give to him. He was arrested and it was found that he was wealthy; that he has money, property and stocks running into hundreds of thousands. Impositions of this kind are outrageous. The generous impulses of the public are preyed upon by unscrupulous persons who do not need aims, while those who do need assistance thus are deprived of what generous folk would give them. There is little or no excuse for begging on the streets of cities. There are charity organizations, welfare bureaus and agencies for aiding those who are disabled and who are actually needy. There should be rigid excluding from the streets of those who have abundant means and whose begging is a fraud upon the public. Are Your Headlights Legal? Come in and I will tell you. Open Evenings.

Hasn't he dragged you the length of the room by your hair?" demanded her mistress. Yas-m, he has done dat.' Hasn't he choked you into insensibility? Yas-m, he she has choked me.'

The student had been spending somewhat too freely, and was short. It was near the holidays and he hated to write home for money. As a last resort he pawned his dress suit. When the time came to leave for home, the suit was still unredeemed. He hurriedly scraped up cash enough to get it back, packed it in the grip and was off. His mother was helping him unpack. Henry," she asked, "what is this ticket on your coat for?" Why, mother," he replied, "I went to a dance the other evening and had my coat checked." She continued putting away his garments. Finally she lifted the trousers. They, too, were ticketed. Henry!" she exclaimed, "what kind of a dance was that?" One of Rudyard Kipling's trees was injured by a bus, the driver of which was also landlord of an inn.

MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1908 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying HEALTH ADVICE FROM FRANCE—Berkeley Gazette Americans are inclined to think of themselves as the original fresh air fiends, advocates of outdoor exercise and proponents of sensible diet. Not that all Americans live up to the best rules in regard to these things, but they do read and write and talk about them a good deal. The other day, however, in a lecture delivered to American students at the Sorbonne in Paris, certain French health rules were expounded. They are somewhat familiar, but are as well worth listening to and heeding on one side of the Atlantic as the other. First, the French professor urged his American pupils to ventilate every room they occupy, because man is not a house animal. He urged the wearing of light, porous garments and the removal of outer layers when the atmosphere becomes too warm. E whenever possible the whole body should be given an air and sun bath. A suggestion which makes the modern American smile is: "Breathe night air at night time. Open bedroom windows. Have no fires in bedrooms." Another suggestion which sounds strangely from a French speaker is: "Get back to nature in the matter of foods. The original food products are grains, milk, fruit, nuts egg and water. Select the diet from the natural food products, and get a certain part fresh every day—not canned, boxed or bottled." Americans usually think of the French as addicted to foods delicously prepared and disguised, palatable beyond the dreams of cooks of other lands, but far from the natural state. One final bit of advice which Americans really need to take to heart has been heard many times, but is too frequently forgotten in the rush of American life. "The secret of great personal power is work, play, rest and sleep in moderation. Never permit a piece of work, or stress or strain of any kind to run along without frequent interruption in the nature of relaxations. Keep serene, no matter what happens."

No food should be given during the afternoon, and if the child should happen to ask for some, it will be found that a drink of water will generally satisfy it until time for the evening meal when the following combinations should be used: Small piece of lean beef, mutton, chicken or rabbit. Choice of as many as desired of the non-starehy vegetables. Dessert of stewed fruit or jello with cream or whipped cream. The meat and vegetables used at this meal should also be cut up fine, and the baby should be given no "tastes" of any other food or it will become dissatisfied and want every food in sight. It is a good plan to feed the baby by itself, before the rest of the family, as in this way it can be given exactly what food it needs without being tempted by other things, and the mother will enjoy her own dinner better, not having the child to look after at the same time. This is not the plan usually adopted in most households, but if you will commence this method, you will find it will work out well. After a time the child will become dissatisfied with milk alone in the early part of the day, and after the age of three or four years, change to a three-meal plan. The feeding of baby at this time should be about the same as for an adult who is doing hard muscular labor, excepting that the quantities should be smaller. The growing child can use a large amount of carbohydrates (sugars and starches) than after reaching maturity, but there will always be present the dangers in connection with the use of starch in baby's diet that are to be guarded against by the adult who is using more starch and sugar than the body needs for heat and energy.
