CHAPTER vi.
Hialmar was almost afraid to
go to sleep Saturday night, be-
cause the Dustman had promised
him, a night or two before, to tell
him story. So when the queer
old man slipped into the darken-
ed room Hialmar fairly jumped
in his little white bed for JOY.
81 am in hurry" said the
Dustman, bustling around. "To-
morrow will be Sunday, you re-
member. All the world must be
in order, you know. / must soon
go to the church tower and see
whether the little fairies have
taken care of the church bells.
They must be very bright and
silvery-looking. / must polish up
the stairs so they will shine very
brightly tomorrow night, too"
well. Mr.. Dustman, hurry,
please, and tell a story first"
said little Hialmar, turning over
into a more comfortable posi-
ton.
"All right, little boy" an
swered the Dustman.
II am going to tell you about
my brother, the OTHER DUST
MAN. shall let you see him,
too!
HE rides on a great horse. He
wears a velvet cloak with span
giles all over 1t. He carries a
great sword, and sometimes his
head is covered with dark
looking helmet.
Look out of the window, now.
You can see him riding by. See
all those folks in front of him on
the horse and all those behind
him!
THAT other Dustman's name
is Death.
He comes to see everyone in
the world, once, during their
lifetime. And after he has come
the person he has visited goes
away with him to another world
to live forever.
Some people are afraid of
him. Some are not a bit afraid.
He seems terrible. But as rule
he is gentle. Often he travels
very, very fast, so that people
don't know where he is taking
them to until they have almost
reached their destination.
Listen to me, Hialmar. There
is one thing you must remember
about that other Dustman. He
always asks every one what sort
of Journal they have been
keeping while ON earth. He
means what kind of life have
they been living. If 1t has been
a good Journal. then the other
Dustman puts the person. who is
going to travel with him, up in
front of him. They begin to
look happy right away and he
tells them beautiful story.
but If they have kept bad
Journal he puts them up behind
him on the big horse. He tells
them scary story that makes
them sad and lonelyl"
HlaImar's eyes were very wide
open after he heard this strange
tale. He was just going to ask
the Dustmau to tell him what

The votes are beginning to accumulate The
contestants in the Tacoma Times Prize Com
petition are realizing that their efforts put
forth now will reward them in votes, greater
than they would after July 9Th. The votes to
be given for subscriptions turned in after
the above date will be in smaller amounts.
AS a result it behooves every candidate to
turn in as soon as possible all subscriptions,
to the end that their vote standings will be
accordingly increased.
Be sure that all friends clip the coupons
from the paper, fill them out and send them
to you or to the Tacoma Times. While cou-
pons are not to be sought and accumulated
with any idea of winning solely on them, they
aid materially and should not be overlooked,
because here, as in the song, every little bit
added to what you got makes just little
more. Add to your standings each day and
have great deal more when tomorrow
comes.
Now is good time to call up the friend who
promised to give a subscription. Likewise,
there are many others who may not have
heard that you seeking to win one of the
Times prizes. If SO, telephone or drop
postal to them. This is one way of extending
an already profitable vote-gettng campaign.
There is always someone in attendance in
the Contest Department to attend to the
wants of candidates and their friends. If
you thinking of entering, If you wish
blanks for securing votes, call any time be-
fore 80 p. m. If it is not convenient to
come, phone or write and a representative
will be sent to you. The telephone number
is Main IL.

Did You know there was a very
great menace to the teeth in sum-
mer?
1t is eating much acid fruit
and not cleansing the teeth after
ward.
After eating strawberries, pine
apples, sour apples, plums.
oranges and lemons, in fact with
almost any fruit except bananas,
the teeth should be carefully
brushed that none of the fruit
acid may be left on them.
Daily diet of oranges without
the proper care of the teeth
makes this imperative.
Strawberry juice is very de-
lightful tooth wash and very
whitening, but 1t should not be
used more than twice a week dur
ing the strawberry season and
after brushing the teeth with the
juice you should take a piece of
magnesia as big as a hazel nut in
your mouth and rub it all over
your teeth and gums with your
finger. Here is a good place to
say that if you would massage
your gums every day with your
fingers after brushing your teeth
you will not be apt to have reced-
ing gums as you grow older.
Speaking about growing older,
don't, 1 beg of you, wear an ugly
high collar unless you want your
neck to grow old years before
your face.

Dear Miss Grey: fel con-
fident you can help me, and
therefore am writing you.
j am a young lady and
have been working as a
stenographer for a few
years, but on account of my
mother being ill. 1 am COM
PEELED to stay at home several
months now, but need
money badly and must do
something in order to earn
some.
positively cannot work i'm
the daytime, L must stay at
home, but can work nights.
i would like a position as
pianist i'm u picture show i'm
the evening. l am capable of
doing this, but have no one
to give as reference.
l have not asked my
teacher, as 1 feel that it
would be of no use, as she
says l have ability worth cuI-
tivating.
Thanking you I'm advance,
j am, MINNIE.
A.-Confidence and self-reli-
ance, backed by common sense,
are all one needs to secure a po-
sition. l have heard a number OF
remark that they did
not give the snap of their finger
for reference or recommendation
that they judged a girl by her
of doing the work.
If you think you will like that
work, go to each theater and APP
ply for the position; If they do
not have a place for you at pres
ent leave your name and address
and phone number. If you are a
neat, intelligent looking girl and
have talent along that line you
stand as good a chance as the
best.

A.-The real or permanent cure
for such habits must come
through the mind of the person
addicted. All that any medical
cure does it to rid the system of
the poisons and impurities left by
the use of the liquor, and after
that they may refrain from its use
if they have any self-control or
will power.
If your husband refuses to
stop drinking, l advice you to re-
port him to the juvenile Judge,
as he is not executing properly
his duties as a father.
