Back To The Simple Life
A recent issue of the New York Evening Journal received here contains an article by William A. McKeever of the department of chilo welfare. Mr. McKeever has been writing a series of articles for the magazine section of the Journal which is one of the most influential organs of the Hearst publications. The article:

The holiday period just passed has been one of unusual wear and strain on the nerves of the children and well-night prostrating to thousands of the good mothers of America. The fuel shortage, the half-heated house, the family crowding into close quarters, the perplexing problem of obtaining enough wholesome food for all, the tense hurry to perform the
We find suitable holiday presents—these are some of the distressing circumstances which have contributed to throw the great common family of this country into a state of confusion.
Now, I believe that we should make a determined effort to awing back to the simple form of home and family life. And, not merely because of our shared language, agramme of effort will bring us back to a level of stability and yell being.
First of all, let us try to regulate again the physical home habits of the children. Puel is now obtainable so that we may awaken on all times, and to keep from being from the sturdyying practice of staying in bed during a part of the day
GEOLOGISTS IN DEMAND
More Calls for Oil Field Experts Than Can Be Supplied
Supplied
Mr. Hunter will work as instrument man for the company and Mr. Harrington as assistant field Geologist. "We now have calls for more men than we can supply." said Dr. Haynes Tuesday.
Advanced students and gravelites in the department of Mining and Geology are able to pick up Jobs at almost any time, according to Hunter, Hunter, c23, and Roscoe Harrington, c20, are leaving school this semester and both have obtained unusually good positions with the Amorada Petroleum Company of Seattle.

The school children will be held to regular and prompt attendance and to first devotion to their lessons, gradually returning to a steady-going method. The little ones

in order to avoid the cold. Also, the entire house may be heated, allowing for the space necessary for the children's health, exercise and comfort. It is well to plan this physical schedule with a rigid purpose in order to have a solid basis for the arrangements to follow.

"I wonder if they miss me at home," said the ball player as he rounded third—Cornell Widow.
Second, let us get down to a plain, substantial bill of fare at the dining table. Certain of the children, pampered and spoiled by the recent extravagances, will whine at the plain repast and may for the time being eat little or nothing. But such is the usual method of healing the injury to the stomach and the general health. Continue steadfast with the plain offering of food, and shortly a normal appetite will come to claim it.

It is the security and thosaleward of the common family, that best guarantee of a stable, progressive society about which I am deeply concerned here. If we can restore to the common home the pre-war condition of our families, then it can bring back to a high level of quiet, wellbalanced, rhythmic living, the entire nation will profit.

The Market Place
As It Was
The old public market was the place of bartering. It was here the housewife matched her wits against the seller's. As in a prize fight—the "better man" won out.
Some paid more—some less for the same identical article. The ability to haggle was the most important asset.
As It Is
But now, the merchant advertises his price—makes a public announcement of the same price to all. The weak and strong are treated alike.
Perhaps you have not realized what a saving in time, money and convenience has been brought by advertising.
A return of the old method of selling would bring before you vividly, just how advertising has benefited you.
