I took to eating honey. My doctor tells me he often recommends honey. with excellent results. for diseases of the throat. Honey is excellent to use instead of sugar for sweetening cakes. It gives the cakes a most delightful flavor. It Is also excellent in place of butter, on hot biscuit. on toast and on buck wheat cakes. know a number of ladies who use honey as a cosmetic. They apply 1t to the skin. rub It in we'll, then wash 1t of with hot wat CT. The result Is a finer textured complexion, a glowing color, a young fresh look"
 The fair sex of this city has indeed the baseball fever. And such enthu- siastic fans! During the week the As You Like Man sat near a red hot rooter who must have lost four oi i've pounds during the contest. so ex- cited did she become at times. Evi- dently she is never miss one," for she knew the names of the opposing players and who were the stickers and who were not. Unconscious of the attention she was attracting she would enthuse after every good play She would jump from her seat, would give a little yell. then she would criticise the ump. and then would say nice things about the home team But when Waterbury won the game In the final inning words cannot de- scribe the manner in which she made known the way she felt about 1t. It was really good to watch her. It was simply case of T just can't make myself behave" But 1t does one good to see woman that really
