A. Seymour, clo The Haileyburian. We have hitherto referred to the pieces as Bishop, Knight, 'Queen, etc., but for brevity's sake and to accustom the student to the more familiar descriptive form, we will speak of them in future as follows: King, K; Queen, Q; Rooks (or Castles as they are sometimes called), R; Bishops, B; Knights, Kt.; Pawns, P: When the learner knows per- fectly the titles of the men' and how to arrange them for combat, he must proceed to acquire a 'knowledge of their moves and powers. Moves of the Men THE KING The K can move to any square next to that on which he stands, provided such square is not de- fended by an adverse man. He can capture any of the enemy's men which stand unprotected on any adjoining squares to that he occupies, and, once in the game, he has the privilege of what is called "Castling", which enables him to move to a square next but one in a lateral direction, to that he stands on. "Castling" will be described in a later passage on the Technical Terms in Chess Playing. As it is a fundamental principle of the game that the K cannot be captured, he is not al- lowed to place himself on any square which is within the cap- ture by an adverse piece, even if that power is inoperative insofar that the man is unable to move. Every other piece can move "en prise" as it is called, that is, so as to be taken by the enemy, but the K can never occupy a square or take a man while it is pro- tected. He can make no move, in fact, which, if he were another Piece, would subject him to cap- ture. THE QUEEN The power and range of the Q are considerably greater than _ those of any other Piece. The movements combine-the moves of the R and B as she can march _ 'straight or obliquely from where she stands to the extremity of "the-Board-provided the interven- ing squares are not occupied. If "you place the Q on a centre Square, it will be seen that she -commands no less than 27 squares. She can move to dny "square on the diagonal she occu- pies, on the file she rests and on the rank she is placed--provided, as has been said, her path is un- obstructed by any other piece. THE ROOK or CASTLE The R ranks next in power to the Q. He moves in a straight line only, forwards, backwards or sideways. He has the power also, once in the game, of moving in conjunction with the K, which will be explained under "Cast- ling." THE BISHOP The B moves diagonally for- wards or backwards to the ex- tent of the board. He, therefore moves on squares of the same color as those on which he stands when the men are first set up for play, and each player has one B moving on white and the other on Black squares. THE KNIGHT The move of the Kt is the most difficult to understand of all the men, and the reader should learn to thoroughly master it before attempting any play. The move may more properly be called a "leap", since he has the power of vaulting over any man in front, behind, or at the side of him, to reach a square which completes his spring. His'leap carries him over one square in a straight line to one in an oblique direction. This peculiarity will be better understood by an attentive study of the following diagram: In the position shown, the Kt "would have the power of leaping to the following squares: 1. To White's K3; 2, K B4; 3, K B6; 4, K7; 5, Q B7; 6, O Kt6; 7, Q Kt4; Ganadian HABITS The habits of life are important because upon them depend so much of the happiness and suc- cess of life. Unless the child learns early in life how to live happily with other people and get along with them, he will, when he grows up, meet with difficulties on account of his in- ability to mix.with, other people in his business and social life. If we are to achieve success in work and, at the same time, en- joy our daily task, more than anything else we need to form good habits. Such habits, in adult life, are the result of the building up in childhood, of habits in promptness and in finding plea- sure in work well done. Children acquire habits very readily, regardless of whether the habits are good'or bad. The baby soon demands that mother continue to sit with him while he goes to sleep, if she once has started to do so. It used to be thought that a baby should be rocked asleep because, after he had been rocked a few times, he cried when he was not put to sleep in this way. We know that it is far better for the baby to be placed in his bed and left quiet and alone for his sleep. There is one habit which is both undesirable and dangerous. and yet it persists. We refer to the habit of the comfort or paci- fier. GRANT FLEMING, M.D. OF THE Medical Association Edited*by ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY It is not natural for a child to have something in his mouth afl the time. The fact that he cries for it does not show that the comfort is good for him. He does so simply because he has been given the habit. Not only is the comfort not necessary, but it is actually harmful. True, the baby stops crying when he gets it, but he stops because he has got what he wants, and not because the com- fort soothes him. As a matter of fact, the continued sucking irritates him. Ask any smoker why he does not suck a dry pipe; he will tell you that doing so causes an uncomfortable feeling, and so he does not do it. Continued use of the comfort alters the arch of the mouth. Baby's bones are soft and yield- ing, and so they become perman- ently misshapen as the result of the pressure due to the continued sucking. The condition of pro- jecting upper teeth with a short tight upper lip, is another defor- mity caused by the comfort. In addition, comforts cannot be kept clean. They are sure to be- come soiled and very apt to be- come contaminated with germs which are carried into the baby's mouth with the comfort. There is one place a comfort should never be, and that is in the baby's mouth.

He can capture ay man of his adversary standing on those squares, despite the fact that he is apparently hemmed in by adverse pieces. Any other piece placed in a similar position as the Kt shown above would be immovable until one of the op- posing pieces were moved in a way to afford him a passage. The THE PAWN The Pawn can only move to the square directly in front "of him (that square, of course, be- ing unoccupied) excepting at his FIRST move, when he can move is restricted to one move direct- ly ahead. ing two squares ahead at his first move, and this move would bring him on a rank occupied by an adverse Pawn on the next file to him, the adverse Pawn could cap- ture just as if he had moved but Kt is privileged to vault over the board which cannot retreat.

It is his privilege to make his dollar produce the utmost in value. The decision as to where that value is to be found is, whether right or wrong, his to make. A tip on how to make a dollar go farther is permissable, however, and we suggest that you think about this: I j y) Z { ea \ } The lowest price does e always mean te best buy; in fact in most cases it does not. Compara- tive quality and many other things enter into the transaction. But let us take two identical articles --one here--at home--the other out of town. Let us suppose the out of town price is lower delivered to your door, by 5c or 75c, than the purchase you can make at home. But it is not the most econo- mical buy. That money is gone for good; it will never return to you, whereas if spent at home-- well, here's an illustration: A Shoeman owes a Baker $2.00 and gives him $1.00, discharging fifty per cent. of his debt. The baker owes a farmer $2.00 for potatoes, so he pays the farmer half his debt with the dollar. The farmer purchases a pair of $2.00 shoes, paying $1.00 down. The shoeman uses the dollar to cancel his debt to the baker, the baker to the farmer, and the farmer pays for his shoes. The shoeman has paid his debt, made a sale and still has his original capital. So have the baker and farmer. That's community business. Three persons have made a profit on $1.00 and it's still in the community to make more. The dollar that goes farthest is the one that stays at home. We are fully equipped h lly and otherwise to give your printing needs every attention. Make it a point to consult us on all your printing.
