Reslnaia WI1 .liams, 6 year old, son of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Williams, of" tfils city, measured up to an 11-year-old child at the recent brain tstts made at the . Hyslens congrees by Dr. Mary Camp belt,, director of the Laboratory for , Chlid Study. Noted sclsntUts from all . over the world marvelled over this wonder child, whom his father claims . is the product ot a . diet of bananas and "milk since his earliest babyhood. . Young Reginald has never been fed any other food. In the tests he stood 100 per cent, both physically and men- : tally. He is a manly, brave little chap and devoted to his diet. Among his playmates tie is called the Banana Baby, but this does not bother him. His bananas are always served hlra" with teream but without sugar. He -eats them-threr times a day regularly, about three at a time, then if he wants any thing between meals he is given more bananas. , . ; , The marvellous feature of this strange food diet is that they do not seem to pall on his taste, Occasionally his father gives him a little candy after meals, and within the last year he has given iilm meat at one meal three times a wee. According to Dr. Williams, who Is himself a specialist of brain diseases, especially In the child, his boy la sim ply the result of normal application Of eugenics principles, Dr. Williams believed that bananas were the best brain and body strengthener he could feed the youngster. Speaking the other day of Reginald's physical powers. Dr. Williams said: "He is one of the strongest children, physically, I have ever known. I attribute it purely and simply to bananas and his simple rules of living, When be was five he could carry a 130 pound woman across the floor. Now he can add 15 pounds to that weight and carry it without dif ficulty. To Urri 'W'taf system rfcif"tn raising my son I have fed him bananas, given him plenty of fresh air, not forced his mind, but let. it develop it self, taught him manliness and a rev erence for the natural things and ex pected only the best from him." I IfE- i ITS INFLUENCE i . . ... - -Sermon Dwells on Practical Value of Kindness and Brotherly Regard. That Christian love, including love for Jesus, his love for us and our love for one another as taught by him, has been the greatest civilizing influence 1n the world, was the text of the sur . mon preached yesterday at the Kenil worth Presbyterian church by thu Rev. Ik K. Richardson. His sermon traced the development of the spirit of human ity due to this influence. He said: .r "All the world loves a lover. But there are many kincis of lovj. There is sentimental lovo, inotiur love, patriotic love and Christian lnvo; and Christian Jove is of three Kitvlj ;he icve -X3 bear toward Christ; the love Christ bears fo rward us, and the lov,; we bear toward Irach other. It was this last i.amed that Paul urges In his sublime psalm nf love. ...The early Christians ix-iie-l this les son. They knew what all otlv;r loves tneant. But brother) love, was h new thing. Therefore Jesus said: 'A new commandment I give you, -hat o love one another.' This tins b.?en called the eleventh commandment. Even today It Is a nsw commandment. 'When Admiral "iJsWey took the Spaniards prisoners, the Matter were astonished that ha didn't "Ijutcher er torture them. "Our modern life sorely needs the ' lesson of Christian love. According to Fine with SUMS WORCESTERSHIRE CUrt the iptspltel..ap.QStle, eloquence, learning, faith, giving and cvan martyrdom fall to ie- substitutes fop-Ohrtstlafl lov. "When we ask the meaning of Chris tian love, we flnd nine- Ingredients. It means patience. It means kindness. Be kind! You will pass through life only once. When your friauds die, lay flow ers on their graves. But Hiow them kindness before they die. Modern eo clety is unkind. We ore unkind t the criminal. We are unklid 10 the fallen men and to fallen women. Don't bo the elder brother nor be his eldif sister. Christian love means treneroslty 'love envleth not.' From Cain's day to ours, envjvlike a huge snake has. wriggled through life's forest, devouring human" life. Ive means also humility 'It Is not puffed up' it means courtesy. Chi cao had a church called the Ice cream church. They had the cream of so ciety, but they were Ice cold. Love means usefulness it seekcth not Its own. "It means cood temper; for Paul says 'it Is not easily provoked.' It means guilclessness and sincerity of life. Such are the nine elements of Christian love as analyzed by St. Paul, and Jesus taught in life and word the Importance or each. 'Such love lasts for ever. The violent wind storitiH in Portland blew down signs and rocked houses, but here Is something that cannot be blown away love never falleth -knowledge, tongues. prophecies shall cease, but love abides. "Christian love toward our fellow men Is a test of our love, to Christ. He loved everybody.' All clubs and socie ties have a badge. The Christian's badge Is love for Jesus plainly said, tsy this shall men know that ye are my disciples If ye love one another Let the beautiful analysis of Christian love be the aim of your everyday life- ror, greater than ralth or hope. Is love." ELOPING COUNTESS NEED NOT FEAR ARREST (United Prem Leaned Wire.) Vienna, Oct. 21.

Uesplte the extra vigilance of the sisters, Hhe managed to Escape. University of Oregon, Eugene, Or., Oct. 21. No man could live in comfort, or in fact without actual danger from cold, with tii amount of clothing worn by the Oregon girl In winter time, ao cording to the declaration of Mtss Ruth M. Outipy dean of women, to the treh man girls of the University of Oregon. She states that the lack of sufficient clothing worn by many of the co-eds in cold weather Is not only ridiculous, but dnnffcroun, and ' an effort to make popular bcnalble, dressing will be made among the university girls.. Ths dean spoke, in reference to low necks with open throats, to thin lace-like shirt waists ' and to toy-like low shoes that loavfl poorly protected ankle open to the chill of the mid-Winter gusts,- "Fenslble dress," declared the . dean, "Is Just o becoming and H Is much more comfortable, and Incidentally Is much more healthy and safe to the girls. No man can possibly live, with the amount of clothing worn by many of the girls. Theje Is no reason for not wearing heavy substantial shoes and something at the throat, or for nof wearinn something besides these thin summer waists." Miss Guppy's talk Jto tlio girls -3U tended o other ptmses of" matntalrrtng health and to the lire of the college girl In general. She told them to mix with student life as much as possible, to take part In some carefully selected student activity, to widen their rang of associations, not only amojig ths co eds, but among the boys. She did, how. ever, warn them sgalnst an over Indul gence In social affairs and reminded them of the rule thae prohibits the first year girls from social engagements any night other than at the weok end. Tha freshman girls ara expected to be in their rooms, whother In orority houses or not. by half past 10 at night, except upon Friday or Saturday evenings, when the limit is extended half an hour. This year the university has adopted a policy of strictness in rules govern ing tha.Jife-f- the- girls- in order- that the Oregon co-ed may establish for her self a standard, or reputation if It may be such, that stands' for a special sig nificance. The Oregon girl will endeavor to pattern after the ideal girl, and these rules, though strict, go a long ways towards establishing this repute. Ths girls are heartily in eympathx with ths action of the authorities to limit their social life,-and are endeavoring to co operate In every way. WIDOW FARMER WINS TROPHY Commendable Work ..of Wo man Rewarded by 0.-W. R. & N. Company. The usual tale about the widow, and orphan Invites tears of sympathy for their unhappy lot. This is a story of their prize winning success. It was re ceived yesterday by Traffic Manager It. B. Miller of ths O.-W. R. & N, -company as a feature of tha Oakesdale, Wash., street fair. Five or six years ago the Widow Prown came to Oakesdale. She had nerve enough to boast that her chief fortune was her three children. She didn't stay in town and scrub steps or wash for a living. She went to the nearby.coun maKing live acres produce. Industry enabled, her to hold ths five acres and add five to it. Her children worked with her. A plotura of -the ranch today shows that it hasn't an uncultivated rod on it. The Widow Brown, evenings at home, was leader of a class In agricul ture, A which her children were ths students. They read and digested direc tions as to practical methods of In tensive farming and rotation of crops. They make the land work all the time consequently, but so sensibly and with such care for the renewal of fertility, that eaeh year the acres become more productive. They have learned the prin ciple of seed selection rso twell that, plants grown from home grown seed' produce better yields, in Size and qual ity, than the seeds purchased from thoss who make a business of their production and pale. .Such effort and method could not long ro unrewarded. The Widow Brown and hor children won this year the fine sil ver cup offered by ths O.-W. R. A N. company for the best general exhibit, and so interested were the neighbors In this evidence of adversity's defeat that they applauded rather than be grudged the high honor. Ths cup the Widow Brown will receive will be engraved with the names' of her chil dren, In this way, "Awarded to Mason and MUllo Brown." The Widow Brown and her children are so far from adversity that they have money In the bank. Shlnney Costs Boy a Tooth. Sril to The JuuroM.1 Quinaby, Or.,, Oct. 21.

During the packing season he wrote on the tis sue paper of an apple that he desired to marry an English gtrl, "as Austral ians are no good' and invited corres pondence. The apple and letter reached Black pool, England, where the letter was pub lished in a local newspaper.
