Robbers Ask Postmaster to Keep No
More Pennies az They Weigh
Too Much.

Branchville, N. J.-When Postmas-
ter William p. Elicit arrived at the
post Office one morning recently he
found the interior in disorder and the
following sign painted on the back of
a calendar hung over the safe: Have
a heart! What's this place-a kids
toy bank? Wise upl Never keep
pennies; they weigh too much"
A hurried investigation showed that
the safe had been robbed Of about two
dollars, all in pennies. which had been
left in a drawer at night. after all the
silver and bills had been taken home
by the postmaster. In a drawer above
the one where the pennies were left
was IS worth Of stamps, but these
were left undisturbed. The robbers

SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH
Proper Planning Of Household Duties
viii Do Away With Much unnee'
essary Wear and Tear.

The housewife should carefully
study the conservation Of her strength
and energy during the hot weather.
All the short cuts to housekeeping, as
we'll as the many little devices for
saving time and labor. should be care
fully considered That is one OF the
best features OF the modern house
keeping. It teaches the conservation
Of energy. OF training the head to save
the heels; the adding Of the element
OF inventiveness and scientific thought
to the problem OF the home that will
save the wife and mother from I'M
necessary wear and tear.
Careful menu planning is one OF the
means by which she may reduce her
labor-by emitting many dishes labor
iously made that are often served
from force OF habit. The mother and
grandmother probably handed them
down as priced possessions. and 1t
seems almost a sacrilege to omit their
preparation, even though 1t means
hours over q hot stove.
BY substituting others Of equal food
value, but which require less time and
labor in preparing. much time and
strength may be saved. A more care
full study of food values will soon en-
able even the busiest housewife to
do this.
The same reduction of labor may be
made in regard to clothing. There
are so many fabrics on the market
that are equal in appearance II not
superior to garments made from those
that often require hours and hours of
the most arduous toll over the wash
tub or ironing board to make ready
for q few hours wear.
When the housewife studies the ele-
ments Of the science Of utility and
proportion that underlle even the COM
monest household task she will then
be guided more than ever by common
sense. which avoids unnecessary
work, worry or any Of the things that
rob woman OF her birthright Of
pleasure and happiness and make her
look old before her time.

HEALTH HINTS FOR THE BOYS
Young Fellows Should Have Eight or
Nine Hours Of SIeep-Always Rest
on Right Side.
(By DIR. GORDON sTAPLEs)

First about sleep and early rising.
Well, my own best time for work is
from seven in the morning, when l
turn out and tub, till y. m.
You should have eight hours sleep,
or even nine; but II possible two Of
these hours should be taken before
midnight.
Young fellows should sleep on a
hard mattress and with just as few
bedclothes as possible. Mothers are
greatly to blame in heaping their boys
beds with heavy blankets. BY SO doing
they are simply making softies Of their
boys and preventing them from grow
ing up into strong, hardy men.
Sleeping under q weight Of bed
clothes not only yoftens and weakens
the muscles, but in the young often
times leads to bad dreams, even bring
ing on what are universally called
nightmares.
AS to food: Eat nothing that is
likely to disagree or cause indigestion
flatulence or heartburn. Eat but little
meat, as this is exciting. Live for a
time on plenty Of milk. eggs, fish, pud'
ding and porridge, II you can get them.
Take q large draft Of hot, or even
cold, water half an hour before break
fast. t
Never eat q late supper, but do not
60 to bed hungry.
have told you the mattress should
be hard and the bedclothes light Well,
you must cultivate the habit OF lying
on your right side, not on the back.
Sleeping on the back brings on bad
dreams. Go early to bed, and rise at
seven.
Take q hot bath every week and q
cold sponge bath every morning. You
won't like It at first but, as Scotch
folk say, "Ye maun thole (bear) Q pain
for a profit"
Rub very wen down with rough
towels. Take . short spell Of light

Long time ago, when the hunters
brought in wild turkey from the hunt
and the little boys stood round to see
how big 1t was, or tried to swing 1t
over their shoulders as the hunters
did, the old men would come into the
group and ask the boys II they knew
how the turkey got his beard.
Now, what the old men called the
beard Of the turkey was the long, red
strip Of flesh which hangs under its
head; and because Of 1t the boys knew
that they were not allowed to eat any
meat from the turkeys neck. So the
boys would ask how the turkey got
his beard, and the old men would tell
this story:
It was after the terrapin had won
his race from the rabbit that the tur-
key met the terrapin on the trail. And
he stopped to ask the terrapin how II
was that he could beat the rabbit. But
the terrapin would not tell about the
trick he had played on the boastful
rabbit; and he pretended that he could
really run very fast.
WELL" said the turkey, you may
be able to outrun the rabbit. but
think could beat you"
"Ho! ho!" said the terrapin. and he
wouldn't talk about the race any more.
So the turkey stood on one leg for
while and looked around, and then
he stood on the other leg and looked
around. Then he yawned and said to
the terrapin:
What is that you have hanging
from your belt?"
That is a fresh scalp" said the ter
rapin.
1t doesn't look very we'll there"
said the turkey.

1e-YEAR-oLD BOY SAVES TWO
Milton Smith Risks Hls Life to Rescue
Men From Drowning at
coplay, Pa.

Coplay, Pa.-Sixteen-year-old Milton
Smith of this place proved himself q
hero when he saved two men from
drowning In the Lehigh river and Just
missed reaching Raymond Nolf, eight
cen years old, who was drowned. Levi
Stauffer and William Kleppinger were
the rescued men. All four, following
their days work at a bakery, went in
swimming in the river. As they were
wading about, the quartette suddenly
stepped into q deep hole. forming a
bridge pier. Stauffer and Kleppinger
made an effort to rescue Nolf and
would have been drowned II Smith had
not been near. After helping Stauffer
and Rleppinger to shore, Smith went
after Nolf, but he had sunk and his
body could not be located.

where would 1t look better!" asked
the terrapin.
Let me show you how well It would
look around my neck" said the tur-
key. And the terrapin handed over
the fresh, red scalp.
With a string the turkey tied It un'
der his chin.
Now" said the turkey, Il will walk
q little way and you can tell me how
1t looks" So he walked little way
and the terrapin called out that It
looked very well.
Now l will fix It o different way
and you can. tell me how 1t looks"
And he walked farther away.
"oh, that looks still better!" cried
the terrapin. When he heard that, the
turkey just kept on walking, and when
the terrapin called to him to come back
the turkey didn't even turn his head.
But the terrapin had his bow and
arrows with him, so he took one OF the
arrows which had been made by the
medicine people and shot 1t at the
turkey as he was running away.
Now the arrow struck the legs Of the
turkey and broke into q great number
Of pieces, like cane splints. And that
is the reason why the legs Of the tur-
key have such lot Of small bones IN
them.
OF course, the turkey, even after he
was crippled by the arrow, was able
to run away from the terrapin, and so
he has kept the beard he stole.
And, of course. when the little boys
found out what the turkeys beard
really was they knew why they were
never allowed to eat any Of the neck
Of the turkeys which the hunters
brought In.
