Which Do You Like Worst2

This is the greatest known way for
undecided people to make up their
minds.
None but a strong minded woman
can ever decide which Of two or three
hats she likes "the BEST" particularly
If they are all comely.
Popular bellies have been known to
have similar troubles with their
sweethearts. Which do like best Is
often a momentous question.
Why not try the other way?
Decide which, Of men, or hats, or
attractive dates" you like the worst,
and then proceed to eliminate.
From there you can factor out in
the grade of desirability, until you
actually find yourself at decision,
because it, whatever 1t is, Is the only
one left
The process is delightfully."- simple.

lis expected that one feature OF the
celebration will be amnesty to polite

extent Of setting them free from i'm
prisonment, but to the extent of re-
storing their political rights. This
will be good act on the part OF the

the political prisoners to wait for it
especially those who in the first place
were unjustly condemned.

Science and Cheese.

A medical authority kindly assures
US that as long as cheese isn't de-
cayed it will not affect the health OF
the consumer. This Is a fact that we
have suspected for considerable
time. But how is the ordinary cheese
epicure to detect the difference-un-
less he waits for results?
There is cheese SO thoroughly dis
gulsed In the costume and aroma Of
decay that it's proper standing on the
sanitary testing table would puzzle q

For instance, there is the brand
known as limburger.
But why pursue this subject?

Garden crops may be grown success

growth of the trees. BY cropping
system of this kind the expense Of the
orchard may be easily paid until the
