HELPING HAND HINTS 1
By MARION KIRKLAND Helps in Shorthand

Reading your kind offer of short fand magazines to students, I should like to ask if you will be so kind as to give some of them to me, as 1 am a working girl and cannot afford to buy them. I have taken up the study for a few months, but owing to dull times and not being employed for some time I was obliged to discontinue it. I should like to have some treating of law or insurance If possible. If it is not asking too much of your Corner, I should like to get old high school books and a typewriter. Will you please remember me? will gladly work in exchange for either or both.
 M. NJ G. Had the shorthand books remained in our gift until we had your letter there would have been no need of writing this. They Would have been in your hands by now As they have gone into the keeping of another l am asking readers interested In stenography and stenographers to come to your help. And I wish we had a type writer for you.' Nothing venture. noth- ing have,' I am throwing out a line for you hopefully.

Keep Your LUNGS Strong

This advice is doubly important with
tie knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many refuse to
realize they are afflicted until it is too late.
It is after colds or sickness, from over
work, combining duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular germs
thrive because the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to
arrest their progress, and the concen-
trated fats in Scott's Emulsion furnish
fuel for rich blood, and it, rare no,,1ish-
ment helps strengthen tne lungs while
it builds up the forces.
-. If you work indoors, tire easily, feel
languid or rundown SCOTS Emulsion is
the most Strengthening food-medicine
known and is free from alcohol or stupe-
tying drugs. Avoid substitutes.
