TONIC FOR GROWING GIRLS

Most growing girls need a tonic,
especially during the years when they
are springing up most rapidly and
when their appetites are most tickle. |
A diet of tea and candy will ruin any
girl chances OF future happiness. A
plentiful and scientifically correct diet
might meet all requirements but this is
next to i'm possible. Hence the need
for a tonic. Almost every Doctors
daughter is given a tonic during her
period of rapid growth but because your
daughter does not actually break down
you do not call doctor and she gets
thin and pale, fidgets 80 that she can
not sit still on chair, eats the wrong
things, eats too fast, gets too little out
of-door exercise and perhaps faces st.
Nitus' Dance, or a nervous breakdown.
A great responsibility rests on parents
and DIR. Williams Pink Pills are the
best and most convenient tonic to aid
them in bringing their daughters to
healthy and happy womanhood. They
supply needed elements to the blood,
and enable it to meet the unusual de-
mands upon it and help today founda-
ton for future health.
The price of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
is fifty cents per box. Your own drug
gist sells them or they will be sent on
receipt of price by the DR.. Williams

before the stall of an old woman who
was dealing in butter and eggs and

her the money and taking the eggs.
He took one Of the eggs ont OF the bag,
tapped IT and saying, swell, well, broke
it. Out rolled glittering five-dollar
gold piece. With apparent satisfaction
he dried the coin with his handkerchief
and placed il in his coat pocket as
though il were quite customary to find
money in eggs.
The old lady stood by in undisguised
amazement.
Kellar took another egg and broke it
with the same result. Another gold coin
came and clinked musieally with the
other. He broke third egg, and by this
time the old ladys eyes nearly popped
out of her head.
'Well," said Kellar, my good woman,
I'll buy that whole basket"
The old woman looked at him with
wide-open eyes, and trembling with eX-
,itement, cried: mo, stree, not anoder

FUNNY PROPOSITION IS LIFE

Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and
wonder, sit and think, why we're here
and what this life is all about? It's a
problem that has driven many brainy
men to drink. It's the weirdest thing
they've tried to figure out; about Il
thousand different theories all the sci
entists can show. But never yet
proved a reason why. With all we've
thought and all we've taught, why, all
we seem to know is, we're born and
live awhile and die. LIES a very
funny proposition, after all. Imagina-
ton, jealousy, hypocrisy and gall
three meals day, whole lot to say;
when you haven't got the coin you're
always in the way. Everybody's fight
ing as we wend our way along. Every
fellow claims the other fellows in the
wrong; hurried and worried until
were buried. and there's no curtain
call. Life is a funny proposition,
after all. When all things are COM
ing easy, and when luck is with a man,
why, then, life to him is sunshine
everywhere. Then the fates blow rath-
Ter breezy, and they quite upset a
plan; then he'll cry that life's bur-
den hard to bear. Though today may
be day of smiles, tomorrow's still in
doubt. And what brings me JOY may
bring you care and woe. We're born
no die and don't know why, or what's
1T all about; and the more we try to
learn the less we know. Life is n funny
proposition, you can bet, and no ones
ever solved the problem properly yet
young for a day, then old and gray,
like the rose that buds and blooms and
fades and falls away. Losing health
to gain our wealth as through this
dream we tour; everythings a guess
ing and nothing's absolutely sure. Bat
tiles exciting and fates we're fighting
.1ntil the curtains fall. LIES very
funny proposition, after all.-George

JAPANESE KNOW NO PRIVACY

The Bay of Kizuki is a Japanese
watering place. and, like any water
ing place in America, it has a fine
sandy beach stretching half a mile be-
tween two long green hills and a great
hotel and casino and good fishing. In
| addition to these things it has a sacred
temple and wonderful rock.
The hotel is sufficiently different
from any outside the Orient, for it's
every room is open to the street ard
you may see at a glance dozens OF
families playing, eating, sleeping. The
Japanese do not know privacy as the
Occident knows it. They go about all
things openly. Which has led some
observers to call them a nation Of
monkeys and others TO say that they
are the most natural people in the
world.
All day at KiZuki bay the people \, i'll
disport themselves as man has dis
ported by the sea since before his
memories began. The water will be
filled with splashing figures and the
and women, the deep outlaws of men.
There is music, too. Of the Japanese
sort, and men put out in boats to fish
and sail in the safe little harbor with
in the arms of the hills.
But the event of the day comes in
the evening, when the sun drops into
the bay, turning it into gold. and the
protecting arms of the hills are
plunged in night. Then does the lone
rock spire of Kizuki bay stand out In
silhouette of majestic curves against
a fiery sky. And all the people come
to look and admire. For to even the
Eumblest Japanese the severe beauty
| Of rock spire against sunset sky
is solace and inspiration.

of food viii be attacked on still
larger scale by the United States de-
partment of agriculture through
score or more of projects, under the
provisions of the food production bill
just enacted by congress.
While most of the projects will be
extensions of present activities, some
Of them will represent new undertake
ings. The task win be to find just
where the country stands in so far
as the adequacy of the present food
supply is concerned, to speed up the
production of food crops wherever this
can b. done, and to stop as many as
possible of the leaks through which
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
of edible products annually is wasted.
Eleven million three hundred and for
ty-Six thousand four hundred dollars
are made available for the work In
the food production bill. This money
is for emergency use in addition to the
funds appropriated in the regular ag-
ricultural appropriation bill for the
usual activities of the department. The
bill also is distinct from the food con-
troll bill, measure having to do chief
ly with the regulation of the. distribu-
ton Of food.
To Increase County Agent Force.
One of the most important steps to
be taken in the emergency agricultural
work will be the extension of the ex-
listing force of county agents, the joint
field employees of the department and
the states, who come into most direct
contact with farmers. With the addi-
ton of the new county agents, an
agent will be situated In practically
every agricultural county in the Unit
ed States that will cooperate to advise
and assist farmers in every way pos
sible on matters of production, cOnSer-
walton and marketing. The number
of woman county agents in rural coun-
ties will be considerably increased and
other woman agents will be placed in
a number of the larger towns and cit
les. These women will stimulate the
production of garden truck, poultry
and other products by women and chill
dren, and will advise and instruct in
regard to the most efficient methods
Of food utilization and conservation.
Labor and Food Problems.
Under the food production bill the
Office of farm management of the de-
partment, in cooperation with the
United States department of labor,
will extend the farm-help activities
through which farm laborers and the
farmers who most need them have
been brought together during the pres
ent season
The third of the more important of
the emergency projects to be carried
out by the department of agriculture
is quick survey of the food situation.
