( Animals Prove
Divinity by Their
Love for Man
By F.LIaA WHEELER WILCOX.
(Copyright. 191. Star Company.)
Hero Is a pretty atory about a pigeon
a true atory; taken from the column of
the New Haven Register:
"A pet dove, owned by the Avery fain
II v on Hemingway avenue, la attracting
much attention theee days. The dove li
very fond of tha boys In the family; h
follows them to school flying In the air,
resting at Intervals, until the school
ranched, and at times It Is noticed sit
ting on the window sills of the school
peering In the windows, looking for the
boys, which Is getting to be a dally oc
currence. It later returns to the home,
watching their return.
"If any of the boys go to the post of
fice tha dove flies along, taking Its
usual rests at different points. and
finally Is aen sitting on the poetofflce
.bulldlng, until the boy Is ready to return
hnma with alia mall This triflped. tS
very Interesting sight."
This little Incident gets hold on one s
heart; mora. It Identifies Itself with the
nlrlt anrl awakena reverence and love
for tha Great Father and Mother, the
Creator of. all things.
tt Is one more proof of the divinity
which dwells in every form of life. And
all that la needed to bring forth that
ilvlnltv la love. There la evidently
some very sweet and beautiful quality In
the nature of the Avery boys wha own
this dove, The divine element IB them
wall develoDed and ao tha bird has
resnonded In this marked degree.
Some years ago a large exhibition of
blooded cats took placa In New fork
City. It lasted three daye and the ex.
hlbltors were much In evidence, Tha
striking aimllarlty between tha cats and
their owners was amusing to the open-
rved observer.
The haughty dame with the snow-white
Persian ribbon winner was reproduced in
her haughty cat, which sat in Its cage
, siting cold looks on the would-be ad-
mtrers: the fussy little woman wno naa

exhibited a trick Angora, whose capers
ware tha delight of everybody in tha hail,
and the pussy cat which rubbed Its pink
nose against the bars and asked to be
caressed by every hand waa ownea oy
a blg-souled woman, whose humanitarian
and humane work had made her beloved
by tha world. .
Animals are poaaeased of a ray of the
divine aoul; and it Is our work to help
that ray develop to greater strength
and power. They are all on the way to
. kicri.o. ini-rniilon: and ao are we. We
are reaching toward Godliness; tha anl
mala toward tha human plane; we aire
all they know of God; and It behooves
us to gtvw them hlgji" ldeala of love, com-
najtsjon and protection.
Unconsciously to themselves, these
" New Haven boys whb,' own the pigeon
are elevating their own natures lowara
real religious standards, while they create

Edward Packard. Watertown, Mass., a
humane worker who, activities In the
finirt of animal protective work and
humane education advances are attract
lng wide attention, gave an uiuairaiea
address on humaneness a.t the Melrose
High school before invited guests of the
u.iu Humana society, under whose
usplces ha spoko. and pupils ot tne mgn

He advised tha youth to epeciaiii

piTuliclSlS, aimuna
wnrM'a ferreat nroblema would be solved
by men and woman who knew how to
translate knowledge Into the language
of the day, namely the pictorial and news
paper vernacular. Ha predicted that social
and humanitarian work, in fact, all edu
cational work, would be simplified and
extended by publicity experts. .
fr. Packard, who waa formerly gen
eral field agent for the Massachusetts
Society tor the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals and American Humane Edu
cation society, la himself a designer and
publicity man. Ha displayed many atrlk
ing innovations in the humane slides and
educational newspaper propaganda that
he exhibited; they Illustrated the gripping
power of ' up-to-the-minute publicity.
The - slides shown were combinations
of art subjects, humane educational text
and pictures' of animals, paychologica'ly
arranged to build up what the designer
calls a "self-lecturing" humane educa
tional entertainment to teach and spread
the gospel of kindness. He said this sort
of education would be In great demand. If
available, and offered, to create, catalogue
ii nd distribute It free of charge for his
own work If some one would finance the
rro.lect. .
Spruklnc !n regard to the everyday
and treatment of animals In home
life, eno" Illustrating the matter with
tneny hanriRonie slides, he showed how
it liUlo llioiiH'itfulness for household pels,
fowl, rr oiher captive creatures woull
i:v.ke ll.i'ir monotonous lives more com
forttitle and would btlng a reward 'n
liTHiov life for those who exercised th's
consideration.
"It Is the cultivation of this habit of
kimlness," he said 'to the teachers, "wh'ch
constitutes the mission and the work of
humane education and is the hope of th
world." A klid and just nature, developed
itt youth, makes them more sympathetic
and humane In all the relations of life
School in
the Home
a
Tarents who cnourage their children
to carry out experiments learned at
school, and generally to utilise the knowl
edge gained there at home, are doing a
wise thing. There Is, on the whole, too
great a nulf between home life and
school life. . .
It !s a constant cry, nowadays, that
the children do not learn anything at
rchool. After many years of whnt Is con
sidered the best education, we find much
to be desired In tha child's eaulpmcm.
The boy Is often a disappointment to his
employer, and the mother Is suprlsed to
find that her daughter knows less than
ahe knows herself.
one of the chief reasons for this fail
ure Is to bo found in the fact that too
much is attempted during the chlid a
school life. Another reason Is that there
la little interest of a practical nature
taken in the child's work at home.
The cry, "Have you finished your les
sons?' Is often heard; but there the
matter ends. The parents seldom take the
trouble to ask. "What lessons have you
to do this evenlngT" and the children
do not often volunteer the Information.
Very frequently the child Is etoiiDed In
his recital of the day's doings at school
by an Impatient request to "be quiet."
and the telling of the tale la never completed.
Those who have had experience in
leaching, know at once when there la
ny Interest taken In the ohtld'a lessons
at home. Such children, though they may
not be quite so bright aa others In the
class, always get on more rapidly, and
have a' clearer understanding ot their
work. Where a child is naturally gifted,
and where at the same time there Is nn
Intelligent interest taken in his work
In the home, his progress Is made very
rapidly Indeed.
The child with an unsympathetic home
circle, or an apathetic ar unintelligent
one. loses very often the Interest that
ha would otherwise have In his work. He
feels that at home It matters little or
nothing how he gets on at school. He
cannot discuss his work with anyone
there, and he cannot get help when It is
wanted, or give information for this
laat Is never needed.
We all know that a fact once heard Is
soon forgotten. We know, too, that a
fact heard, and then repeated once or
twice to others, will linger for a long
time in the memory. The child learns
by teaching, and If we will allow oor
children to teach us what they have
learned at school, if we will allow them
to use their knowledge at home, we shall
find that the,y make much more progress,
and are far happier Into the bargain.
Some parents, on the other hand take
if possible,' too great an interest in their
children's school life. They ask all the
questions, without watting to be told
anything. And, worse even than this.
they "drive" their offspring, to such an
extent, that jaded and worn, the children
can never hop ' to do themselves or
their parents credit.
It is not "taking an interest In the
children's work" to command them to
sit hour after hour over their lessons,
and to act the martinet generally. It We
not of the least use, from an. educational
point of view, to pump a child as to what
he has learned each day. The information
must be spontaneous to be worth any
thing, and 1 will always be forthcoming
with the average child.
Once prove that yau are an interested
listener, -wanting- to learn something.
and your .child will certainly take the
opportunity of Instructing you. That yen
are able, now and again, to set him
right on some point will, not matter in the
least. He will still be under the Impres
sion that he la teaching you. and that
without the slightest danger of his
developing into a prig.
There are endless opportunities for
carrying on the work of the school In
tha home, without Its being felt by the
children that they can never get away
from leasons. The boys performing their
experiments in the attlo were not under
any compulsion ' to take their recreation
in that particular way. They' wera Just
having a good time and when tha visitor
had been got rid of, their mother would
join them, and be flatteringly interested
nd impressed- by their performances.

Telephoning a Man at His Office
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"Flossie" has written to me on a sub
ject which none of my readers has ever
broached before. But It is one about
which a great many of my readers would
do well to think, and ao I quote her
letter exactly as it u written:
"After' a lengthy discussion on the
topic of whether it la proper for a young
lady to call up her masculine friends on
tha 'phone just for a social call, I still
feel undecided. It Is to you, my dear Miss
Fairfax, that I turn for a decision. Do
ybiu think it is propper for a young lady
to call ..up different gentlemen on the
phone Just for a little chatT"
Most decidedly not, Flossie. Men who
have any serious business are aura to be
annoyed when women call them up lust
to pass the time of day. All men rldloule
the feminine habit of visiting over the
telephone. Any man who has anything
serious to say to a girl will not discuss
it over the phone. He will call her up and
aa briefly as possible make an appoint
ment to met her.
Do you know any worth-while men
who make a practise of telephoning their
women friends merely for the Joy of con
versation? The type of man who does
this thing, describes his own proceeding
pretty accurately when he ears:
"Guess I'll call up Mabel and Jolly her
along a little. It's easier than trottlnj
out to see her."
Being "Jollied along", by a man is dls
tlncly not to a girl'a advantage. It is a
lsxy man's way of amusing himself as
Inslnoerely and aa much without effort
as possible. It certainly isn't worth while
wasting B cents to call up such a man!
And as for the men of more worthy
calibre earnest, sincere men of the work
ing type to bother them with Idle per
siflage over a telephone, Is to estrange
their best liking and most sincere in
terest.
Don't do It. It annoys them and It
places you in the category of tiresome
chatterboxes completely obnoxious to the
masculine soul!

Health and the
Eight-Hour Law
By WOOD", III TMItlO, M. 1.
p.nT ii.
Shorter hours mean loss exhausting
and llfe-ehortenlng fatigue, more energy
left at the end of the dy for Intelligent
and tvhclesome letreatkn, instead of be
ing so Btup.d and sodden nnd exhausted
that drink was the Only relief.
It mesns longer hours of sleep and bet

poisons, so that they don't pile up and
burn out a man's arteries snd throw
him on the scrsp heap at 40 or 43.
Higher wages mean better food and
more of it, better housing, better cloth
ing, better opportunities for the children

The same holds true, with certain par
tis! exceptions, between long hours ani
short hours, highly paid and poorly paid
occupations In the aama country. This
generation has seen the working day go
down from twelve hours to ten, to nine,
to eight, with a constant and striking in

day by each worker, and Intelligent and
far-alghted manufacturers are already
talking of a seven-hour day ta still fur- .

a twentieth, while from tha point of view

For those who drag thro life
To the man who has known in the past the ener
getic pleasures of hard work but who today finds that
almost every effort seems a burden, even downright
illness would be preferable.
A change of acsns, or prolonged rest, would help If dude
would permit. "Yon need a tonic," friends will say. Yea, bat
not tonic that merely stimulates, but on that truly reconstructs,
rebuilds what has been torn down.
Tha success that Sanatogen, tha food-tonic, hag achieved in
giving body-etrength and nerve-force, not as m Man but as a fee'
ini po mmion, gives us tha confidence to recommend it to all
whose bodies thus teem to have lost their balance.
. For Sanatogen, you must know, Is a food that acts as a tonic.
So pure and true that avail tha moat enfeebled digestion csa
absorb it, so distinctive are its powers that it enable tha digestion
to get tha maximum nutriment out of the ordinary diet, so decisive
ara ita tonic affects that they seem "simply wonderful' a Arnold
Bennett, tha novelist, put it.
Sir Oilbert Parker, the statesman-author, tersely gums tip the
benefits of 8anatogen thus i
"Sanatogen is to my mind a true food-Unlc, read,
ing tha nerves, increasing tha nargy and giving
fre.h rigor to overwork ad body and mind."
So you may be sure that whatever promise of help Sana,
togen holds out to you is baaed not merely upon plausible claims,
' but upon actual performances in the past, proven and guaranteed
a thousand-fold by the testimony of actual user and tha medical
profession itself, as expressed in signed letters written by over
21,000 physicians.
