Put Loop in Hat,

Women know what a hard task it is
to hang up their hats. The office girl
finds a new place every day for her
hat. 1t is on the desk, the shelf or
pinned on the wall with big hatpins.
A new way, says the Los Angeles Elk
press, is to take a piece of tape or
baby ribbon, make loop about four
inches long, sew it to the gathered
part of the lining of your hat and
that's ALL Hang up your hat by the
loop on the rack, nail or any available
place.

ITCHING AND BURNING RASH

that was not gone good when the same

on my left arm and it nearly drove me

made it go into sores on my back and
face. My face looked very badly while
it lasted. My clothing irritated it
something awful. could not bear any
thing to touch my back at all for two
weeks and it would make it itch and
burn so badly would cry out and

Special Hospitals Needed.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there are over mil
lion consumptives in the United
State, of whom probably at least one
third are unable to provide for them
selves the necessary treatment at
home Most of these cases are a men
ace to the health of their families and
associates, and should be in special
hospitals. At the present time, how
ever, even if every case were known,
it would not be possible to, provide &C
commodations for more than one in
eight or ten. The removal of these
foci of infection demands more and
better hospital and sanatorium pro-
cision.

the King. He was not invited to the

saw a huge chariot Of brass whose
whirring wheels crashed out bolts of
lightning as they spun through the
storm clouds. Seated in the car was an
immense green dragon, covered with
scales that ratified as he was jolted
about like a cart full Of old iron. In
fact. he was about as hideous a mon
ster as could be imagined.
The Dragon brought his chariot to the
earth before the palace and hammered
at the front door with his long tail.

When the Dragon was gone, the men

ing a guitar on his neck, he set out at

the high, iron mountains that surround

The mountains were a mile high, their
sides red with blistering heat. and at
their foot ran a river of liquid. Amel
could go no further. SO he lay down to
sleep on a nest of leaves he found be-
hind a rock. At dawn he was awaken
ed by a large bird coming to the nest,
and as 1t touched him with its wing he
reached out and grabbed 1t by the leg.

vt was the birthday Of the beautiful
Princess Iris. From far and near
came the gay cavalcades OF the
young princes who had been invited
to celebrate this happy time by the king.
For he was very devoted to his only
daughter and wanted to make her COM
ing of age a great event In his nation.
Iris had long golden hair that reached
to her knees, her eyes were Of the deep
blue OF the sea. and her dainty figure
was always gowned In silk OF tender
green tint. As her father was very old
and also very feeble. 1t had been decided
to select on this birthday a husband
from among the many princes who
came to the court.
So the fair Iris sat beside her father
on his throne and watched the princes
as they rode past. Most OF them were
arrayed in rich armor Of gold and sill
yer. gemmed with Jewels that flashed
In the sun. But by far the hand
soonest was a prince who was very
poor and rode a thin horse that seemed
hardly able to walk. His armor was
dented and rusty, but he seemed a
brave. happy fellow and was determined
:, to show himself worthy Of the prin-
cess. 81
One by one the other princes rode
against him. but he beat them all in
his strength. The young men in golden
armor lay stretched on the sod SO often
that the girl was very proud to see
the poor prince win. So when the young
man, whose name was Amel, came to
the foot of the throne and knelt to
Lit b. val
him with flowers.
You have not gold or silver or pre-
cious stones" she said gently, but
you are my brave, true knight
This made the other princes very an
cry. They were provoked at the prin-
cess for liking such a shabby youth, SO
they went away murmuring and de-
termIned to seek the life OF Amel as
soon as they got a chance. Deep In the
shadow OF an old tree they hid, and
when Amel came walking by they
sprang out and threw him TO the earth.
"Cowards. cried the poor, young
prince. You call yourselves men. but
you are towards to attack one when
you are a Dozen"
The bad princes made no reply. but
dagged Amel of toward a river which
ran through the grounds. intending to
throw him in and let him sink with his
armor on. But as they struggled down
the road the sky was suddenly dark
ened. Looking up they saw a huge
black cloud drifting overhead and shut
ting out the sunlight.
And with the darkness came a roar
ing sound as II OF 10000 rivers falling
over a mountain. The wicked princes
dropped Amel and fed toward the PAL
ace. Amel jumped to his feet and fol-
