Daysey Mayme and Her Folks
By Frances L. Gar5tde

q ONE thirty years ago, when the
- Lysander John Appletons lived on a
farm the live stock was increased
by the arrival of a weak wabbly leg
ged calf. 1t was so weak that it was
threatened with starvation.
Lysander John gave the calf TO his
wife. Under her care it thrived and
the wabbly legs grew firm and strong.
few months later he sold it for $40.
1T is your money" he said to his
wife, but l will keep it and you can
draw on me as you want it"
She began drawing on her calf mon
ey the same spring.
Il want 500 for a silk dress" she
said. You know you owe me for the
calf. so you Just charge it to that
Lysander John gave her the money
and was much pleased with himself.
1T is better" he argued, than if she
had it all at once to blow in"
few weeks later she blew 50 for a
parlor lamp; a few days later she drew
81 for a silk shawl, and then she be-
gan to lose count.
Lysander John has figures to prove
that up to date he has paid her 1921
calf money. and she, being a woman,
claims there is money still coming to
her.

CRUCIAL PERIOD PASSED
Little Rocks Efforts for industries

 Little Rock-"The crucial period in the beginning of the history of the expansion of the industrial industries of Little Rock has been safely passed. and the actual work of development in that direc ion has been substantial. ly inaugurated," said Carl Baer, in. dustrial commissioner of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce.
 "The opening wedge has been driv. en, and thus it has been made easy for others to enter the cleft in the in. viting field of industry" said MT. Baer.
 MT. Baer's optimistic statement in regard to the success of his work was borne out by the presence in Lit. tie Rock of Ben Veil, who proposes to establish a packing plant in Little Rock, accompanied by the contractor, H.

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost of Tuberculosis and Other Pre- ventabIe Diseases Has Been
 Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other bodies are trying to find method for reducing the cost of life insurance, Prof. James W. Glover of the Uni Versity of Michigan demonstrates that every policy-holder of $10,000 or dinary whole life policy could save about $20 year on his premiums if tuberculosis and typhoid fever were eliminated Tuberculosis alone causes loss to such a policy holder of from $16.70 at twenty to $17.50 at the age of sixty. At age of twenty. with the present high death rate from tubercu- losis, this one disease alone shortens the complete expectation of life by two years and 158 days. While the death rate from tuberculosis seems to be declining, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- culosis says that the combined effort of every man, woman and child is nee essary to bring about radical reduc- tion in life insurance rates such as Professor Glover has indicated.

M'M ONLY A LITTLE GIRL
Failing Eyesight Responsible for an Old Mans Mistake-Rebuke
 Hardly Effective.

A certain group of youngsters in an exclusive West side residential section had been very noisy throughout the forenoon.
 The children were still doing their utmost to initiate bedlam, when a very angry old man appeared at the door of a nearby apartment house. He was quite old, and it was evident that his eyesight was not the best, but he finally succeeded in picking out a youngster who was aiding very strenu- ously in the noise making.
 The aged man walked over to the child, took it by the hand and walked back to the apartment When he reached the doorway he turned to the child and said:
 Don't you know it's against the law to make so much noise?"
 Yes sir" was the meek reply.
 'Well, don't you know that you'll be arrested and put in jail, and then you can never be president of the United States?"
 Please, sir?" replied the child, q don't care; I'm only a little girl.'- New York Mail.

These blessings, so essen tial to happiness and even success in life, are often only matter of little thoughtful care in the selection of effective remedial agents. Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little, that it is almost criminal not to use them.
