HIDDEN POET PUzzLE.

By taking the initial letter of one-syl- liable word from each of the following sen- tences and writing them in the order in which they come, the name of famous English poet will be spelt: Never forget the horse when you load the dray.
 To be rich does not mean to be power full We often find our yoke very heavy to bear.
 Many people delve for gold, but few find it.
 Only the glutton lives to eat. Learn to strike the nail on the head.
 RIDDLE. I'm slain to save me-with much care and
 pain, Scattered, dispersed, and gathered up
 again; Withered, though young, most sweet,
 though unperfumed, And carefully laid up to be consumed. (HGyJ ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS PUZZLES. Hidden Pet Puzzle-Spaniel. Letter Enigma-Sewing.

she realizes little or nc permanent
benefit from the treatment Could
she but know that the remedy lies
in her own hands she would change
her manner of living, stay at home
and make a new woman OF herself.
Instead OF going away, from a
sense OF necessity, the woman in
moderate circumstances can be
much comfortable at home
If she knows how. Should the ner-
vous condition be so serious as to
be practically a breakdown, the
the wisest plan, as we'll as the
cheapest in the end, is to get
enough help to keep the Eouse-
hold machinery running, and then
take TO bed. 1t should be gener-
ally understood that mother is 60
ing to rest for a while and that no
troubles or unpleasant news of
any kind can be talked over before
her.
Yet half the day spent in bed
will work wonders, II the right
mental condition is obtained and
retained. Often a woman does
not feel it necessary to give up alb
solutely, but still realizes the ne
cessity of guarding against such a
possibility by taking care OF her.

An Ideal Vacation

Rev. E. o. Smith, formerly pas
tor of the First M. E. Church here,
but now at Smith, Nevada, writes
IN interesting account of his vaca-
ton at Lake Tahoe, in part as fol-
lows:
Through the kindness of my
charge I have just spent three
weeks vacation at beautiful Lake
Tahoe. Daily I Sat in a glass
closed dining room banked in
flowers and thrilled with the mel
ody of an orchestra. Nightly the
cores OF elks-hones tipped with
electric globes glowed like lines OF
fire showering down upon The even
ing gowns and jewels. But pref
tier yet was the Casino Rest Room,
whose ceiling is of bark cushion
ed with moss, whose chairs and
flower baskets are twined out of
twigs, and whose front is an
enormous bay-window looking
out upon the lake and mountains.
And at night 1 slept out under
the sky, breathing what Mark
Twain, a visitor OF Tahoe, styled
"the air that angles breathe" Yes
a bedroom II you please that is
outside a tent, inside a dream. No,
it's number was not 10. That
would be very unlucky. 1t was
70 1921
One cannot help noticing the
pines-monsters fifteen or twenty
feet around and leaping into the
sky straight as an arrow and green
rs green hs can be. And the airs
that sift through those evergreen
treesl In the morning it is
snappy with frost. 1--WE breakfast
ed at $50 at Tahoe. But soon the
sun dips from behind the Twin
Peaks, and the air, warmed by his
rays, washed by the lake, and
sweetened by the pines is "just de-
licious."
My little white pony helped make
the vacation very enjoyable. The
environs OF Lake Tahoe blend into
a little Switzerland. Rushing rap
ids, silver falls, dizzy chasms, cot
tons, frs and pines, springs Il have
already mentioned the falls) caves,
flowers and little lakes where trout
are in abundance-these reward the
mountain climbers.
But nothing surpasses the 70 mile
steamer ride around the lake. This
is "a wonderful body of water. In
the morning calm as a m%irror--in
the evening springing at the shore
like a tiger and raging like a lion.
Shallow water and deep hug up
close to each other, one a pale
green, the other a deep sapphire
blue, making a line plain to see
miles away. He who climbs uI
among the clouds to fall in love
with this lake will go away with
vigorous health and sweetenec
rested mind.
