DON'T HANDLE THE PUPPIES
Touch Them as Little as Possible Dur.
 ing First Weeks

From the Kansas City Star.
 1t is important that puppies should not be handled too much during the earlier weeks of their lives. The ef- rect of doing so may be to interfere seriously with the formation of their toncs, besides which it will spoil the temper of the mother. and in so doing will interfere more or less seriously with her supply of milk. Thus in two ways it will interfere with the puppies directly by reason of the liability of their soft developing bones to be bent end otherwise injured by rough handling and indirectly by spelling the mothers milk supply through ln- terfering with her nerves.
 AS a rule the other exhibits a hlgn degree of anxiety for her puppies anc to such an extent do some bitches carry their anxiety that it results m serious debility says the New York Sun. This, of course, is aggravated by any interference with the puppies more especially on the part or strah- gers. and in most cases 1t IS impor- .ant to guard against anything tha' will interfere with the normal condi- ton of the bitch. :,
 It also is important that she should have exercise regularly and in order that this may benefit her to the fullest extent. of course, she must be taker away from the puppies. Although al first she will exhibit a great deal o'

Writing Love Letters
By LUCILLE CAIN

Fly LUCILLE CAIN
 It is an evil spirit which prompts the writing of love letters. The thousands Of girls who pace restlessly up and down by the post box wishing for Aladdin and his magic lamp so that the cruel othelal receptacle could give back to them the missive just dropped ina thick packet of scented, sentimental emotions and in- discreet admissions after the style of 'l love you. I love you" and which make the writer blush with confusion as she remembers them in the silly silence ot the nightr' If only love letters could De read by their authors six months before being dispatched, there would be less signing and planning of the opening sen tence, as the girl pictures a villain with vanload of blue mauve note paper say ing. Girl, these are all yours.
 The composing of love letters IS great pleasure, but one that should be denied. Talk as much al you like but don't write the tender nothings down to be perused in cold blood. Not only is it a dangerous amusement but one that sounds a little foolish, for when a mans fiams of ardor Is cooling Gas they all dol the letter Is likely to be thrown aside in favor Of an invitation to a smoking concert. An amused smile will play around the callous male mouth as he mutters, By jove, rather hard hit. I am fond of the little girl. but am not such fool about the matter" and he absent mindedly lights his pipe with it.
 The great art in writing love letters if you must commit your rapture to blue black ink-is to try and time their arrival at an opportune moment Don't send them to the office. They are likely to prove disconcerting and rather stupid beside a request for further consign- ment of patent toothpowder And, above all, don't let them reach their destination in the morning, when the shaving water is cold and the devoted man Is catching a mental glimpse of his train steaming out of the station as he falls down the last step.
 If a man really loves a girl he can read between the lines a sensible, ordinary let ters, and does not want row of badly spelt adjectives to understand that he is '.the luckiest man on earth

Case for Church Advertising

From the BaltlfnOTt souii.
 When the Rev. Doctor Lichliter says that advertising increased the collec tions in his St. Louis church from $6OoO to s13,O00 annually he does not neces- sarily prove that advertising Is goo' thing for churches. The raising oi money is not the chief object of the church. But when he says that 1t in creased the attendance from 15O to s5' persons in two years and a half he pretty well proves his point. For the object of the church Is to reach met and present the gospel to them The sincerest and most appealin9 sermon can do no good unless 1t finds hearers, and any method not intrin, sically harmful that increases the mum Der of the church attendants mus help the work of the church. Tn tune advertising along the lines suggested by Doctor Lichliter will doubtless bt
 used, and used advantageously. by al the churches.
