The line of beauty is a curve.
Women may be thin and graceful,
but not thin and beautiful. There
is vast number of pale. thin,
scrawny people who are all brains

strength and health that accom-
panies the standard weight. Good
flesh and perfect health go to-
gether. A true flesh-forming food
like Samose is absolutely neces-

No one can use this wonderful

"Jula" is not mice lukin." So,
therefore, she does not get the
protection that should be accord
ed to all "wimen" by the per

story, graphically told in a letter
to Police Judge John M. Arntson.
The document is worthy of the
Japanese Schoolboy's best efforts
The letter was oecasioned by
Judge Arnston's recent filming of
Gus Carlson $50 and costs for
annoying a Seattle woman on Pa

ing the judge for thus protecting
'wimen," Julia" states that

insist that all women are good

There was turrible awful thun-
der and lightnin storm in our
midst which lasted for more than
a hour last Thursday or FRIDAY, we
forget which. 1t come up student
in the P. ". about 3 o'clock. The
first sign of it apeard when a great
bank OF black cluOds riz up outen
the West and slowly crep down
upon Bingville. Them as was ont
and about begin to git under cover,
being as they thort it wouldn't be
long afore the storm would bust
loose and they wasn't mistaken. be-
cuz it proved to be one Of the worst
thunder storms we have had in our
midst for several years back.
There was a bad thunder and
lightnin storm struck Bingville on
the 18th OF July a year ago. durin
which the lightnin snapped and
cracked around here like a bunch
| Of 4th Of July hrecrackers for a
spell and done considerable dam
age being as Lem Quigley's barn
on the north end of town was set
FIRE to by a streak of lightnin and
burnt to the ground, includin two
wagons and some harness. to say
nothin Of hay and grain. 1t was a
total loss, being as Lem didn't carry
no insurance.
Well. after that thunder storm
there was lot of folks hereabouts
as had ligitnin rods -; On their
barns and houses, so as when
another lightnin storm come along
they would be safe. as YOU might
say. But did lightnin rods do anv
good when that storm come along
last week. No-100O times No
Ranse Hillyer, who had two
lightin rods on his house, had the
house to be struck by lightnin which
run down the rod and tore up the
earth where it went into the
ground alongside the house. Then
there was Ephriam Hobbs house
also-Eph's house it has lightnin
rods on it and it was also struck
and the rods carried the lightnin into
the ground, so has Brent Williams
barn got lightnin rods on it. but
it was also struck with lightnin
and the lightnin rods conducted
the lightnin into the ground. To
tell the truth the barns and houses
in this vicinity which didn't have
no lightnin rods on EN- was the
ones that wasn't struck, and all
which was struck had Iightnin
rods.
What be we to infer from this, /
if anything? Why, simply that if
you want your house or barn 10 be
struck by lightnin, all you haft to
do is to rig it up with one of them
