DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me—John 12:23. The principle is that God is the ungrudging beacon of Blessings, and that man are His stewards to distribute these blessings. So far as they enter into mind, the delight will be in spreading abroad, not in accumulating. Their reward will be continually growing Knowledge of His character and purpose. Their treasures will be in whatever things are good, pure; their hearts will be occupied with these.—F. D. Maurice LEARNING TO SPELL The boys and girls of today have not had the reputation of being excellent spellers. The charge so often made that the schools are not paying sufficient attention to the three R's in neglect of spelling. Those of us who, in our youth, prided ourselves on our ability to "spell the school down" and who looked forward to the spelling matches as the chief social events of the season, are quite likely to be hypercritical of the youth of today and his ability to spell. But now that the Boston university has conducted a state-wide contest in spelling and announced the result we will have to draw in our horns. The conclusion reached by the professors in this contest is that the children of today are spelling better than their parents and their grandparents did when they were boys and girls. And the reason for this is the difference in the methods of education, it is claimed. Attention today is being directed to useful words, whereas a generation ago more thought was given to catch words and to long and unusual words that were rarely used in conversation or writing. The tendency of the age is swinging toward practicality. It is said and we will welcome such a trend in educational youth of today and his ability to spell.

They who effectively promote the cause of peace through out the world deserve place in the Hall of Fame. California will continue to develop and to thrive, despite all the calumny that is being emitted against it. There is no excuse for illiteracy in this state. California brings the means of free education within reach of all. The California Legislature may screw the state better by what it refrains from doing, than from what it does. 248 West Center Anaheim 233 East Center Anaheim ALL THIS WEEK JELL-WELL 3 for 25c 7 flavors It will pay you to buy a dozen And the Cat Came Back— Ever try to get rid of a cat?

THE MOUNT COMES TO MOHAMMED MOSLEM WORLD SPANISH DEFEAT IN MOROCCO HOPE OF SUCCESSFUL REVOLT AGAINST WHITE RULE HOPE OF SUCCESSFUL REVOLT AGAINST WHITE RULE PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) Friends are people who agree concerning things that are naughty. The silk worm isn't the only one that bestirts itself to keep daughter in clothes. Government waste consists in spending money in some other neighborhood. An executive is a man who does the worrying while subordinates do the work. The nice thing about a phonograph is that it doesn't read telegrams between numbers. It isn't at all difficult to save a little money. The hard part is to keep it saved. The annual loss by fire seems incomprehensible after one has burned 10 matches in an effort to ignite kindling. This is the season when man believes prayers just as effectual if said in a warm bed. Even in his darkest hours John Bull can thank the Lord that Spain has the Moors. The old-timers didn't have more amusing stories; they merely had more amusing liquor. There were just as many petting parties in the old days, but those present numbered only two. Every village has at least one deep thinker whose wife takes in boarders. Among those who always will have something to look forward to and the Russian royals. ABE MALTIN DINNER STORIES It does not do to become abstracted in the school room. The teacher for a high school class with an ardent biliard player in off hours. One day he said: "Now, we start with this formula." He took up the pointer and advanced to the blackboard, only to be interrupted by a shout of laughter from the class. In his absence of mind he had first chalked the end of the stick, just as if it had been a billiard cue. Eugene was a very mischievous little boy and his mother's patience was worn to the limit. She had spoken very nicely to him several times without effect. Finally she said: "You are a perfect little heathen!" "Do you mean it?" demanded Eugene. Indeed, I do," said the mother. "Then, mother," said the boy why can't I keep that tea cents a week you gimme for the Sunday school collection? I guess I'm as hard up as any of the rest of them. "Some an sick at your house, Mrs Carter?" Inquired Lila. "Ah seed he doctor's kyar eroun dar yestidy." "It was for my brother, Lila." "Sho! What! he done got de mmitter of im!" Nobody seems to know what the disease is. He can eat and sleep as well as ever. He stays out all day long on the veranda in the sun and seems as well as any one, but he can't do any work at all. "He cal't—yo says he caln't work?" "Not a stroke!" "Law, Mrs Carter, dat aln't no disease what yo broth' got." Dat'a a gift! Pat for the lean, lean for the fat. And, in general, Sch observed, if man takes tunes quietly, it is because he knows that very few ful things may happen course of life; and so upon a very small parish which might come. "It should not be that misfortunes, be it small, is the element alive. But that is no reason a man should laduke complains." Our aim should be to about us, ward off misgoing to meet it, to a perfection and refine averting the disagreeable life—whether they come fellow-men or from the world—that, like a very we may slip out of the every mishap, great or not membering that A. MIS GENERALLY ONLY OAWKWARDNESS IN DIN Pat came to the dentin hin jaw very much swollen tooth he desired to have. But when the suffering Erwin got into the dentin and saw the gleaming capa approaching his face it refused to open his dentist quietly told boy to prick his patient pin, and when Pat opens tooth to tell the dentin tooth, and out it couldn't hurt as much aspected it would, did it. It list asked, smilingly. Well, no, replied Hatingly, as if doubting the fulness of his admissions he added, placing his spot where the little hed him with the pin. Little did I think the road reach down like that. Every village has at least one deep thinker whose wife takes in boarders. Among those who always will have something to look forward to are the Russian royals. The queer part is that the crossword puzzle became so popular without benefit of denunciation.

E. writes; I am very nervous, have indicted the nation with the longest rant, low vitality and extremely underweight for my height and that triumphs but the one we shall I do to overcome this unhappy condition? Do the longest vision. Correct this sentence: "At a distance she he unusually neat, ice But upon their first meeting he discovered that were not clean. And interest, Necessity today how he watch another person are he or she is talking, some not well kept they a liability." ANSWER: Your condition is caused mainly by your habits dent will happen," she remarried life, such as a sedentary occupation and insufficient physical cheerfully," and I still have liture exercises. Try a fruit fast (to reduce days) followed by a starchless diet, including vegetation rich in minerals. QUESTION: Mr. J. R. O. writes: I am now on the fruit juice last recommended by you; taking the juice of one lemon in a glass of water every hour, alternating each hour with orange juice. Simultaneously the fast, I have a headache and feel generally all ill. ANSWER: Never mix the fruit juices on the same day. Use the orange juice one day, lemon or grapefruit the next day etc. The headaches (which only come at the beginning of a fast) caused by stirring up bile in the gall bladder and indicate that elimination has started, which is the object of the fast. Do not be alarmed, as the symptoms described are customary the first few days of fasting. You will feel better soon and have excellent results. QUESTION: Mr. J. F. H. writes: I have just finished reading your book, "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH," and as I am a Tubercular patient, would like to try the fruit juice fast and Salisbury steak regime. Is there any difference in my taking orange or grapefruit juice and how long shall I fast? What is a Salisbury steak and how prepared? ANSWER: You may use either orange or grapefruit juice but do not mix the fruit on the same day. First from ten days to two weeks. If you have my book, turn to Page 195 on Protein Foods for fuller details regarding Salisbury steak. This steak is made by grinding round steak (that has all the fat removed) three food chopper and baking in oven, seasoning with salt when no longer from the oven. Mortgage Guarantee Co. 626 So.

ATTACTIVE TERMS • PROMPT ACTION • CONVERSATIONS ENTERED MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying PROBATION IN LIEU OF PRISON—San Bernardino City Not long ago a man who was executed while still under 30 years of age declared that he never would have reached his low position in crime if most of his adolescent peers had not been spent in a reform school. It is generally admitted that our reform schools are much only in name, and they are properly but juvenile detention schools, the primary trade of the beehive industry. It is taking us a long time to reach the state as a people, where we recognize the feet, and set upon it, that it is better and make good citizens out of orgrant boys, than criminals. Much less than a conspiracy ago we could do nothing with the insane except to look them up, not for their own good, but to present them from injuring others. Now we have real hospitals for them, operated for the purpose of curing them if possible. We are making still slower progress in the matter of handling the cases of those who commit offenses against society. We are still actuated by the purpose of preventing them from doing harm to society, rather than converting them into good citizens, for their own good as well as the protection of society. So we will look men up in degrading idleness, or if we work them at all, it is for the purpose of helping to relieve taxayers of the cost of their keep, rather than for the welfare of the men and women themselves. Society has the right to protect itself against those who would harm it, but it is morally bound to exercise this right with consideration for the welfare of those who menace it as well as for its own welfare. In the past, this obligation has weighed lightly upon or even when recognized at all. The creation of a special place for boys and girls under 18 years of age, by courtesy called reform schools, was a recognition of this duty toward those who are a menace to society, but as operated, these institutions very poorly perform the function of reform or prevention. Instead of the reform school, where the boy who proved to be a menace to the community has been sent more to get rid of him than with any expectation of transforming him into a useful citizen, probation is now being tried, and great success is reported for it. Probation is not real probation unless it includes actual and intelligent supervision. Just letting a boy go under a suspended sentence and a warning not to do it again is of small value. Often it serves as an encouragement to other evil deeds. Bus probation to the care of some person whose influence and example would serve to set the boy on the right track is quite a different matter. The Massachusetts Legislative Commission on Probation investigated the case of boys who had been on probation for this sort, and out of 600 of them 238 were carried through the probationary period without being recommitted and 60 per cent of them had been discharged from supervision. Of these 87 per cent had never been in an institution, which was very fortunate for both them and the state. A proper probation system costs money, but so do reform schools. A POPULAR MISNOMIK What people commonly call "Fate" is as a general rule, Schopenhauer opined, nothing but their own stupid and foolish conduct. There is a passage in Homer illustrating the truth of this remark, where the poet praises shrewd counsel; and his advice is worthy of attention. Schopenhauer said that if wickedness is atoned for only in another world, stupidity gets its reward here—although, now and then mercy may be shown to the offender. "It is not ferocity but cunning that strikes fear into the heart and ferbodes danger; so true it is that the human brain is a more terrible weapon than the life's paw." "The most finished man of the world would be one who was never irresolute and never in a hurry." On the other hand, we may regard the petty vexations of life that are constantly happening, as designed to keep us in practice for bearing greater misfortunes. Schopenhauer said that a man should be a Siegfried, armed capa-pil, toward the small troubles of every day—these little differences we have with our fellowmen, is significant disputes, unbecoming conduct in other people, petty gossip, and many other similar annoyances of life: he should not feel them at all, much less than take them to heart and brood over them; but hold them at arms' depth and push them out of his way like stones that lie in the way." Sohopenhauer said that a man should be a Siegfried, armed captain, toward the small troubles of every day—those little differences we have with our fellowmen, in significant disputes, unbecoming conduct in other people, petty gubbins, and many other similar annoyances of life; he should not feel them at all, much less than take them to heart and brood over them; but hold them at arms' length and oush them out of his way, like stones that lie in the road, upon no account think about them and give them a place in his mind. And, in general, Schopenhauer observed that if man takes misfortunes quietly, it is because that he knows that very many dreadful things may happen in the course of life; and so he looks upon a very small part of that which might come. "It should not be forgotten that misfortune, be it great or small, is the element in which we live. But that is no reason why a man should indulge in fretful complaints." Our aim should be to look well about us, ward off misfortune by going to meet it, to attain such perfection and refinement in averting the disagreeable things of life—whether they come from our fellow-men or from the physical world—that, like a very clever fox, we may sin out of the way of every mishap, great or small; remembering that A MISHAP IS GENERALLY ONLY OUR OWN AWKWARDNESS IN DISGUISE." Pat came to the dentist's with his jaw very much swollen from tooth he desired to have pulled. But when the suffering son of Erwin got into the dentist's chair and saw the gleaming pair of forceps approaching his face, he positively refused to open his mouth. The dentist quietly told his page boy to prick his patient with a pin, and when Pat opened his mouth to tell the dentist seized the tooth, and out it came. "It didn't hurt as much as you expected it would, did it," the dentist asked, smilingly. "Well, no," replied Pat, hostatingly, as if doubting the truthfulness of his admission. "But," he added, placing his hand on the spot where the little boy pricked him with the pin. "begorra, little did I think the roots would reach down like that." COMPULSORY EDUCATION Those who take honors in Nature's university, who learn the laws which govern men and things and obey them are the really great and successful man in this world, it was observed by Thomas Huxley. The great mass of mankind are the folk who pick up just enough to get through without discredit. Those who won't learn at all are plucked; and then you can't come up again. Thus the question of compulsory education is settled so far as Nature is concerned. Her bill on that question was framed and passed long ago. But, like all compulsory legislation, that of Nature in marsh and wasteful in its operation. Ignorance is visited as sharply as painful disobedience—the capacity meets with the same punishment as crime. Nature's discipline is not even a word or a blow, and the blow first; but the blow without a word. It is left to you to find out why your cars are bored. The object of what we commonly call education—that education in which man intervenes is to make good these defects in nature's methods. Huxley points out. Its purpose is to prepare the child to receive nature's education neither incapably nor ignorantly nor with wilful disobedience; and to understand the preliminary symptoms of her displeasure without waiting for the box on the car. In short, he says, all artificial education ought to be an anticipation of natural education. And liberal education is an artificial education—which has not only prepared a man to encounter the great evils of disobedience to natural laws, but has trained him to appreciate and to seize upon the rewards which nature scatter with as free a hand as her penalties.
