has found its way to Rlncon Hill When the children there shall have absorbed the grace and beauty of the fine old lines the baa reliefs and pictures will more on to glorify some other schoolroom and work an invisible but vry tangible change in the small heads bent beneath them A few months ago there was placed in the Rlncon School two sections of the Parthenon frieze done full size and In plaster also a set of Fitzroy pictures When the vacation is over these Will be taken to another school and in due time this round robin of art will get back to the point of beginning Then those in the country will some day fall heir to these good things In art This work is being done by the civic department of the California Club of which Dr Dorothea Moore is head and It is merely the beginning of an art education planned according to the best investigations and deductions of psychology as related to child study The civic section of the California Club decided last September to fake up this work and straightway commenced to raise the necessary money The casta were secured in Boston and the pictures In Covent Garden London TJiey reached this city during the holidays but were not placed until January Before this was done the section arranged a meeting to which were invited the teachers the Board of Education and the Mayor Professor Henry Hush ton Falrclough of Leland Stanford Jr University addressed the gathering and reviewed the psychological investigations which Justify the presentation of art to children in this way The Mayor took up the thoughts expressed by the lecturer and carried them on from the point of view of the businessman Miss Eliza Keith spoke on behalf of the teachers Professor Falrclough was asked for a suitable motto with which to illuminate the frame which secured the casts and gave one which freely translated means What Is beautiful is always loved a line from a Greek wedding song This is effective on the heavy frame of cream satiny wood and a small brass plate bears the inscription The California Club The pair of casts are framed as substantially and beautifully as it was possible to have them They are in one large frame and are separated by a broad band of the wood precisely the tint of the frame The Fltzroy pictures are framed In dark wood When all was ready a time was set apart by Miss Cleveland principal of the Rlncon School and appropriate ex erclses prepared Members of the California Club were Invited for the occasion The programme show ed that the chtldren had an accurate knowledge of that part of Greek history which related to the building the uses and fate of the Parthenon Upon the blackboard one of the girls had drawn two excellent views of the Greek Temple to Athenta If the children of the other schools to which the casts and pictures are to be taken show as intelligent an interest in them as those of Rfhcon School the members of the section as well as of the club at large will have all the stimulus needed for further accomplishment The children themselves have been the instructors of the psychologists and one of the best lessons was learned from a little girl in an Eastern school where the pair of Parthenon casts were reproductions of two of the sections upon which time and vandals had placed ruthless hands When she was told the story of the Parthenon she looked incredible and said ThaUld thing Then the pyschologlsts studied and found that children could not see beauty in what they classified as old Their minds could not supply missing portions and they could see nothing beautiful In what was not perfect That Is Why the complete pair of panels has been selected for the children of this city The observing young eyes saw in the Parthenon frieze what the older folks had passed over something which made them inquire and think The sharp childish vision noted that all the horses were poised on their hind legs and they wanted to know why Then those who knew where to look discovered that the Greeks knew nothing of the management of horses and that they felt that the only way in which a proper holiday spirit could be expressed was by delineating them cavorting gayly The Fitzroy pictures are done by a pupil of Walter Crane and represent the seasons They are prints of the set made in London for the hospitals and schools The execution of these themes are the simplest possible of a kind to ap peal to developing minds The color it flat and put in as children understand it There is one more picture in this collection that of St George and the Dragon a story which little ones always want to hear again and again The California Club has planned for more casts and for other pictures and they will be given as fast as the growing minds are ready for another lesson and this Jn the face of one school of psycholo glsts which preachefrthat a study room should be absolutely neutral both in color and form and that there should be nothing to start conflicting mental processes The other and it must be admitted the larger school contends that a childs mind is filled with countless motives and that it is better to give it something tangible and correct by which it may make logical and helpful mental measurements Health Talks for WomeeTlhe First of Talk health Ttm dreary never changing tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale You cannot charm or interest or pleas By tinping tm that minor chord disease Bay you are well or all is well with you And God Jhall hear your words and make them true ANT people think that physical culture means to don a gymnasium suit and go through a few calisthenics It means so much more than that It means the science of living how to be strong mentally and physically how to make the most of ones life to know what to eat how to take care the body how to exercise how to res It is learning to control ones nerves it Is the science of becoming acquainted with ones self to know how to get the best out of life For life is not to live but to be well I believe we this temple that God has given us To be well we must eat healthful foods exercise as much as possible and sleep seven or eight hours every night We must have fresh air in our sleeping rooms and drink plenty of water between meals I do not advocate the drinking of water during a meal or even at the beginning or end of it About half an hour before a meal drink a glass of water and then after a meal drink as much as you wish until half an hour before the next meal Too much liquid of any kind it prejudicial to digestion because it delays the action of the gastric Juice weakens its digestive qualities and overtasks the absorbents Cold drinks check digestion by cooling the contents of the stomach to a degree at which digestion cannot proceed Few people are aware how serious aullsturb ance even a small quantity of cold water ice cream or any other cold substance will create when taken into a stomach where food is undergoing digestion as this process cannot be car ried on at a temperature less than tha mouthful of food until he had counted thirty When one drinks a glass or two of water or three or five as I have several times observed one feels stuffy after leaving the table and wishes he had not eaten so much i wish every one could know how injurious it is to drink lee water or any iced drink I the heat of the stomach is 100 degrees Fahrenheit and a glass of water at the temperature of freshly drawn well water ill reduce thattem perature to 70 degrees you can Imagine what a glass of iced liquid will do or Iced food of any kind I have not said anything about tea and coffee because they should be given up entirely I know it Is hard It took me over two weeks fo get over the effects of giving up coffee It was a bitter fight and I felt I think a good de as De Quincy did when he tried to give up opium But I conquered and for two years I have reaped the benefit of 4t Coffee never seemed to hurtme but the a Seizes of Articles by Naeeette Magraden toxlcattng

drinks and ice cream soda And now for what to eat It is easier for me to tell you what not to eat than what to eat I am in perfect health and I will tell you hat articles of food are not on my health list I think pork comes first I ish there was no such a thing as a pig in the world There would be less bad blood fewer cancers better complexions It is scientific fact that among Jewish people who do

avoided by every one whether he be well or 111 fleshy or thin rich or poor Right here calling down wrath upon drink when we are down town and get thirsty I consider lemonade a healthful drink I always tell the soda fountain man not to put ice or powderedhugar in mine They always look at me with pitying glances thinking I am out of my mind One day when I was in training and not taking sugar I told a clerk to give me a glass of lemonade without ice and without sugar Why miss that wont be lemonade I must confess it went down rather hard but when I am in training I am inexorable When I do not take lemonade I take some kind of mineral water not Ice cold I do not approve of phosphates but consider them less injurious than Icecream soda Leaving out these few things what Is there left to eat Plain soups nearly all kinds of fish I do not recommend sardines or canned salmon mutton beef chicken all kinds of game eggs milk if eggs and milk agree with one and the milk products such as koumiss Whey buttermilk etc nearly every kind of vegetable the most healthful being spinach asparagus tomatoes onions squash pumpkin celery oyster plant beet tops cress and lettuce without oil plenty of fruit and plain puddings without pastry Baked custard blanc mange and other forms of gelatin make fine desserts Rice is particularly healthful Surely out of that list you can find of bread put in the oven and dried through and allowed to remain there until lightly browned are most palatable and digestible The inside of most bread is soggy even the bread mother used to make Try it some time Take the inside of a sliee of bread and make it into a ball and see how Inviting it looks It is a leaden mass in the stomach whereas stale bread crusts or toast bread toasted in the oven are easily digested Toast made over a flarhe whre the inside is not thoroughly dried and only the crust is brown is as indigestible as fresh bread Caked apples come first on my health list Have one every morning for breakfast and see how much better you wJU feel There are many kinds of delicious healthful cereals for the morning meal Eat plenty of fruit Apples pears and oranges come first I think bananas are unhealthful unless eaten in the locality where they grow Then they ripen naturally while those we get are other things Suffice it to say if a woman really and truly wants to ha well she can regulate the food question but the trouble is that people will eat rich indigestible foods which they know are not good for them simply because they are pleasant to the taste Never mind if they have a headache after the meal or a pain somewhere They an flghfit Off some way or take a couple of tablets or soda and lemon or some kind of a powder suggested by a druggist They are all right until some day something breaks then they are put on a diet which is compulsory and they may never be perfectly well again So often women come to me to see what I can do for their complexions and say Now I know it isnt my

what would life be worth if I could not eat what I like I would sooner die than confine myself to a diet i what I hear every dajr Dieting does not mean living oh bread and water far from it but most

the sacrifice Coffee is an enemy to the liver Stop drinking it and see how your complexion will clear up and the whites of your eyes get whiter Sometimes I meet people with good complexions who are coffee drinkers but as a rule people who drink coffee have not a clear complexion They af apt to be sallow I wish women would stop drinking in let me enter a strong protest against ice cream soda plain soda with syrup egg phosphate egg chocolate Dewey drinks and many other concoctions that soda fountains are responsible for The only good thing about an egg phosphate is the egg The only good thing about a glass of ice cream soda is the glass and that is not always as clean as It might I think the drinking of hot chocolate between meals is injurious Notice how many women go into the stores for hot chocolate during the fall and winter months Well Mrs Cranky thus am I frequently addressed what shall we flesh she can do It by exercising and by letting starchy foods alone bqt even then leaving out sweets and starchy things there is plenty to eat When people are hungry and sit down at a daintily set table where only healthful wholesome food Is provided they are going to eat what is set before them and are not going to long for things out of sight Dieting does not mean living on bread and water It means eating pertain wholesome foods which we know are healthful and leaving bad indigestible foods alone Entire wheat bread not freshly baked is healthful and thin slices bf any kind well No appendicitis ih that It rather sweet and is betten diluted Stewed prunes are healthful
