Dress for
An old theory falling into unpopularity
is that the weight of clothing worn in
winter should not be changed In any way,
lest the wearer takes cold. Newest hygiene
has It that garments should be chosen to
suit a shifting thermometer, and that to
continue to wear, on a mild day, the same
heavy coat which he needed In very cold
weather. Is a mistake.
There Is no doubt of the excellence of
tte new theory, if It la only worked With
Intelligence. For Instance If the day Is
mild and the month Is February, It would
be absurd to put on a spring suit, however
sufficient Its weight. For 'the wearer must
bear In mind that changes of temperature

Etctes, and that sufficiently warm cloth

A medium for a mild day Is a heavy

around the neck. With such dressing,
there Is no danger of a severe chill. In

To prevent taking cold In the throat or

of rubbing, with the spirits, closes the

Don't Look for Thorns
J
Think of this If you are ever tempted
to discourage and sadden others
Don't make the road any harder than It
Is by pointing out all the thorns that
have lain or may still lie along the way.
.Tust because you like to find out all the
shadows In the path and walk in them
yourself, don't try and make other people
do the same.
Most of us do far better work, besides
being much happier, If we are given a
word of encouragement now and again.
And when you come to think of It, a few
encouraging words cost nothing, and are
Just as easy to say as tha discouraging
words that come so readily to our lips.
Make up your mind to look for the
bright side of things always, and vou will
be surprised to find what a difference It
will make, not only to yourself, . but to
other people.
And, anyhow, nobody likes the person
who persists In acting as a "wet blanket."
so if you have got Into this habit, get
out of It as quickly as possible, and start
to cheer and encourage people Instead.

Some Famous Children of History
. "Tad," the little son of Abraham Lin
coln, was named after the martyr presi
dent's own father, Thomas Lincoln. The
little pet name by which the boy was
known to those who loved him and by
which he Is remembered In history. Is an
abbreviation for tadpole and was really a
term of endearment.
How close to the heart of Abraham Lin
coln was his little son "Tad" may be
guessed from one little Incident. After the
horrors of Gettysburg, when Lincoln was
harassed by many difficulties, tormented
by doubts and suffering such physical and
ramta! torture that the strain began to
tell even on his great strength, he wroti
a letter to his wife, who was then away
on a visit with "Tad."
Lincoln refers to his boy In this charac
teristic sentence: "Think you had better
put 'Tal's' pistol away. I had an ugly
dream about him."
During those troublous days at the White
House in war time Lincoln evidently found
comfort In the affection of little "Tad"
and In his association with him. Often,
equally busy evening, ha would escape

probably asleep on his couch."
At one time, wr tlng to Mrs. Lincoln In
a homely, Intimate mood, h a message to
"Tad'' Is touching In Its simple affection,
"Tell dear 'Tad,' " he writes, "that poor
'Nanny .Uoaf Is lost, and Mrs. Oiithbort

you left Nanny was found resting herself
and chewing her little cud on the .middle

gardener kept complaining that she de
stroyed the flowers itll It was concluded
to bring her down to the White Houe.
This was done, and the second .day he
lad disappeared and has not been heard of
since."
The gardener referred to was at the Sol

the suburbs of Washington.
"Tad" was a bright.' delicate, high spir

of him that he was perhaps closest in af
