call America ar a maay kind of metal aa tkr ar con trie and peoples, and It ahould be the buelneM of Uie great alchtniUt the Amerleaa palJllo to tranraut the alley to make of non-assta Hating aliens good cltiieaa But to do thle the alchemist must be eroua, and la.no way a snob. An alien Is quick to notlee the chief traits of a people Into whose straage midst be has thrust himself, and he weighs the chosen country and measures the people by theoe early impressions. , A snob Is the most insufferable of prigs, aad almost all of us are snobs. We bold In scornful disdain anything that Is not American, and we like to think suoh disdain la a demonstration of loyalty to our country. In reality it is mere conceit. - . Egotism ' ranks highest that country Into which by nferest accident we were born. Just aa egotism Instead of profound thevght and reasoning accepts as the one right creed that creed which was bestowed on us at birth by our pareota (Tor oar ereeds aad oven our polrtlcaj rlewpotats are often congenital.) And so it Is that the farther the alien Is removed from our partlcatar orbit, the more la contempt we hold him. There are servant girls who, well educated In the tongue of their native land, find difficulty In the language of this, their newly adopted country, and because of that difficulty are ridiculed more or less openly by Americans of their own clans, and sometimes even by the mistress, who mimics their bungled English for the amusement of guestsv Tet these people who so ruthlessly wound are not Intentionally or consciously ungenerous and crueL They are, American snobs goodnatured, unconscious snobsl And the servant girl and the p ishcart man are not all who are subjected to America's gTand self-

, appreciation. There is the English . gentleman wearing a monocle and a flush, a crowd of street urchins Jeering him. a group of pretty girls obviously suppressing giggles, and other paeanrsby displaying amuse'.meat or ooatompt by smiles and ahruga. I ' r There la the small Chinese boyand I know him whose teacher at an East Side Sunday school demands the sacrifice of the little porcelain Buddha whleh ho baa carried about with him aecreted in hla coarse, blouse. The teacher complains that, he la , atill a heathen in spite' of all her teachings. She Is discouraged that abe haa been unable to uproot the training of oenturiea. In five Sunday's exhortations. 8he bad explained to him again and again how wicked It waa to worship any but her Deity, and yet he waa a pagan. I saw this little alien the day he sacrificed his beloved treasure. I saw him walk bravely to the open fireplace In that East Side Mission, his long eyes moist, his small face tense, though otherwise immobile, I aaw him - draw something reverently from hla blouse little stolo that he waa! and raising hla hand, fling It into the roaring Ore. For. a atojnsnt he; stared at his broken god, : and the muscles of hla thin obeelcs worked faintly. Then ho smiled valiantly at the lady who had demanded the sacrifice, and said : "Now me ailee same AaaelieanP I recalled at that moment the story of the Chinese boy who when asked why he was crying replied : "Amelican Chlistlan hit me with a Mick." Of course, we want these Orientals to know and understand our God, but Isn't there some generous way of doing all things, even to converting pagans? Is the monocle really any funnier after all than the exaggerated fashion of the clothing worn by the gipgling gtrls? And if we went to work aa a servant in Stockholm isn't It more than possible that our tongues wou'.d be Just aa troubled as the stumbling tongue of the girl at whom we are laughing orer here? Let us try to remember that many things which seem very queer to ua may be perfectly natural to a million human beings in another part of the world. Above all let us be generous.

How to Acquire Grace & A. High Chest and Flat Back May Be Gained by Any Woman. By Anna Pavlowa. (The v wr!4s premier expo seat ol graeefalneaa ta daaelac.) : '..,-"' v ri ."jT-OvTN and out? that most J) deplorable atato for one'a '" -social or financial self-Is really a most desirable condition for one'a shoulders. ' Han haa ever prided himself, upon the set of his shoulders, but woman has consigned hers to the dressmaker. Though that artist can create a dream o. an evening frock, the wearer Is confronted with tho realities of life at the line of the ahoulder girdle, "" And the possibilities for grace and health are so great In this locality that I feel every woman ahoulder blade and collarbone which form . the shoulder girdle. A high cheat and a flat back may be obtained by any woman. The ahoulder blade is attached to the backbone by diagonal muscle strips, which respond promptly to the commands of your will. And all of your effort to get your back and chest into position must be made upon these diagonal muscles for the rest of the structure is most unyielding. . The collarbone and ' ahoulder blade are tightly fastened at their meeting place above the arma Then the whole girdle la rigidly , bound to the cheat In front. - Since these attachments are moat unyielding, while that at the back unless controlled by your will is most elastic, tho shoulder blades often wander forward and follow the direction taken by the arms in their work. In this way Nature's beautiful symmetry is reversed, and one sees a flat chest and a round back which popularly is called round shoulder. A very simple exercise will serengthen the diagonal muscle ribbons an! enable them with slight effort to maintain the entire shoulder girdle in correct position. 1. Clench the fists , with thumbs out. 2. Bend the forearm until the fist Is outside the shoulder. Breathe in. 3. Return to regular standing position as you breath out. I shall not try to convince you, that this is a graceful arm position. But it enables you to get such good control of your shoulder blades that I hope you will make use of it. Then, before long you will acquire so good a chest position that you will be able to have your arms in any direction without interfering with the correct poise of chest and shoulders. And this Is an essential part of a graceful woman's bearing. In fact, it is one'of woman's most essential n.arks of beauty.

(The next crtlcie la tkta series wIE deal with control of mosclea.)

Carefully Treat Children's Colds Kegleet of children's colds often lays the foundation of serious lung trouble. On the other hand, it is harmful to continually dose delicate little stomachs with internal medicines or to keep the children always indoors. Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and a good application of Vick's "Vap-O-Rub" Salve over the throat and chest at the first sign of trouble, will keep the little chaps free from colds without injuring their digestions. 25c, 60c, or $1.00.

Grip and Duffy's are natural enemies. Because grip is an Infectious disease, its germs are carried in the atmosphere, also conveyed from one person to another. In combating grip, a refined stimulant like Duffy's Pure Malt WhisKey finds its widest field of usefulness, because its tonic effect upon the flabby mucous surfaces Is just what la required. Given in tablespoonful doses in sugar and water every two or three hours, Duffy's helps digestion and assimilation of food, giving the system sufficient stamina and power to resist and throw off the dangerous germs of grip. Many people know that the usual precautions taken for the prevention of other diseases will not hold good in grip that is why they are so particular to
