OUR Chill DREN'S CORNER
DONT'S TO BE OBSERVED.

~ ONT allow yourself to become
lazy simply because 1t Is hot.
Don't sit under an electric fan.
The powerful and concentrated gush Of
air from It is dangerous.
Don't drink ice water when you are
very warm or ov~erexerted. 1t might
prove fatal. 1t is better never to drink
ice water In warm weather. but to set
a pitcher of water in the icebox to cool.
Don't play so hard on a hot day that
you will be overcome with heat and ex-
haustion. Exercise moderately.
Don't forget to wet the head and
shoulders thoroughly before plunging
into water. A good swimmer always
dives nto the water. If he can enter
where 1t is deep enough to permit of do
ing so. But If he goes Int shallow
water he vets his head and shoulders
before immersing his body.
Don't hunt or fish wantonly. The
taking Of life for mere sport is cruel
and wicked.
Don't torture in any way insects,
birds or animals. Such evil pastime de,
grades and distorts the character.

Complicated Affair.
Dear MargerY Doom:

Dear Margery Doom.
/ am 60, and very much in love with
a young man who doesn't seem to care
very much for me. although he doesn't
ike me to go with others. Now. an
other young man has asked me to keep
company. but l do not love him. Please
give me your advice? UNHAPPY.
Marry no man unless you love him,
Nothing would bring you more unhap-
piness than to marry a man in order
to spite another. If l were you /
would try to think of the other young
man only as a pleasant acquaintance.
If he does not care for you there is
nothing else for you to do.

Fill the centre with a mixture of two
cups of cold chopped chicken, one-half
cup of cream blended with some flour
and butter and yolk of an egg, salt,
pepper, nutmeg and chopped parsley.
Steam it like custard one hour Turn
it out on a dish and pour around it
some good tomato sauce. Serve hot.

Correct Squsepfng Is
Highly Beneficial

If a woma will stand up
straight while she is sweeping it
is the very best possible way of
expanding her chest.
But stopping over the broom is
bad; the chest is contracted and
the work made harder.
To sweep vigorously with head
up and arms moving freely helps
to give the shoulders a beautiful
erectness and also pulls off SUI
perfluous flesh.
Especially where the arm lie too
fat directly below the shoulder
this work helps.
1t takes off the extra flesh and
rounds the arms splendidly.
For this 1t is almost as good as
using the washboard and that is
proverbial for improving the
arms.
