Experience of q Man Who Had Several
Growing Girls.
1t is quite interesting to be the fa-
ther of several growing girls, " said one
OF group of family men in the smoker
OF suburban car.
YES I" answered another one, with a
shrug of his shoulders, especially when
they all want new gowns at the same
time.

first speaker, "but of way they have
OF taking the wind out of your own
sails. 1t never occurred to me until the
other morning that it was not to see me
that young fellows kept dropping in to
play cards and make themselves agree
able. I tumbled at last, but it was my
hunting dog Jack that opened my eyes. !"
Your hunting dog?" echoed the
crowd
Eyes. I had heard of nearly every
kind Of plan for the communication
of lovers except dog. In this case
Jack became Cupid's messenger. Those
boys borrowed the dog ostensibly to go
hunting, but have learned since that
they didn't know gun from hoe ham
die. They tied Jack up overnight, and
as soon as he got out in the morning he
made a bee line for home. If hadn't
seen the corner of a paper sticking from
under his collar I should never have
suspected the eagerness with which
these girls tried to head him off from
me-"
He had letter for them?''
'No, just a note asking the privilege
of seeing dear Miss Kate or Miss Sue in
the park for walk and chat. Nice
idea, employing the dog of the family
in clandestine correspondence! I an
swered that note myself, and the two
girls haven't spoken to me since. Jack
is tied up, and I'm watching the cat
now, for I have no doubt they'll find a
way to circumvent me. - Chicago

DON'T BE FoUNDERED.

weather after hard drive if he is to stand

do hard manuel labor, and very many take
no precaution against sudden .cooling off.
In case of the horse, If he chllls, he will be

suffer soreness and stiffness from head to

SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.
How q Bilious Man Gave Up His Two Cups
of Breakfast Coffee.

now BILIOUS man Gave Up His Two cups
of Breakfast Coffee.
An east end man was advised some
time ago not to drink coffee His doctor
told him it helped to make his liver tor
pid and his liver was doing it's best to
render life miserable for himself and all
the rest of the family.
But, no, he couldn't give up his two
cups at breakfast time. He couldn t
make the sacrifice. Nothing could take
the place Of the delicious Java and
Mocha mixed that he had learned to
love.
One day his wife suggested in a mild
way that he. might be just as we'll sat-
isfied with one Of the brands of imita-
tion coffee. He almost frothed at the
mouth.
''That internal stuffl' he cried.
"Not much. The very first gulp would
settle me. I'd like to see anybody try to
fool me with counterfeit of that sort. I"
He didn't notice that his wife quietly
smiled. But, strange to say. from that
time on he grew better. His bilious
tendency was greatly lessened. He felt
like new man.
One day he met the doctor.
"Hello, docP' he cried. "I'm getting
better in spite of you.
"Given up coffee, have your queried
the smiling doctor.
"Given up coffee? Not much. Coffee 8
all right"
A few weeks later he met the man
from whom he orders his groceries.
"Hellol' quoth the grocer. "How
well you are lookingP'
YES said the convalescent, "I'm
feeling a great deal better.
''By the way" said the grocer, "you
seem to like that substitute I've been
sending you.
"What substitute?"
"Why, that substitute for coffee. I"
And he named one of the numerous i'm
itations of the fragrant berry.
''Never had cup Of 1t in the house, ("
said the bilious man emphatically.
"That's funny" said the grocer. 81
haven't sold your folks pound of gen
uine coffee in the last three months .
The bilious man didn't say anything
further, but his thoughts were busy.
The next morning he looked at his cup
little suspiciously, but he drank it
without tremor. Perhaps he fancied
he detected the difference; perhaps not
Anyway, his wife still fondly imagines
he doesn't know of the deception. -

sands of women actively began their
campaign for the relief of the men en-

mems opportunities as auxiliaries in the
great work of warfare are many. With
every war that is fought her field OF
labor varies. The women who made

another class Of work TO do in the war

advancement has been made in military
