Importance of a Tan Coat
Depends on How Acquired.

Tan is the result of the action of
chemical rays or of the ultraviolet
rays of the solar light on the pigment
of the skin. 1t proves nothing, says
an authority, but that the skin has
been exposed to Photographic rays OF
one kind or another. The skin is also
tanned by exposure to the rays of q
mercury lamp, but such tan has moth
ing to do with health.
Tan is important and of meaning
according to the circumstances under
which it is acquired. Acquired at sea
or by the sea as a result of life and
exercise in the open air, 1t is sign OF
health, because it accompanies general
effects which are lacking in the cOndi-
lions of electric tan.
Electric tan is accompanied by nc
multiplication Of red cOrpuscles in the
blood, such as exercise produces, in.
surfing a renewal of physical strength

In regard to the question as to how
to get rid of small ants in a kitchen,
the Indiana state entomologist says:
zone of the best remedies is to make
a strip of four ounces of sugar to one
half pint of water, and after this strip
has boiled add one ounce of sodium
fiuoride. Moisten a sponge with this
and put it in can that has some
holes punched in it; then place this
where the ants are most numerous.
The idea Is to get the ants feeding on
this and in that way carry some back
to their nest. If they stop feeding,
move the can back a short distance
and they will again start eating. The
can should be kept moist with this
strip and the ants will soon disap-
pear"

Few men get to be on intimate
terms with even one of the great men
of the world. Robert Parker Miles
has known many of them.
1t was Gladstone, the great British
statesman, who said to him, "Mr.
Miles, you will go down in history as
a contented man, contented man."
That was in response to a remark of
this great lecturer and world traveller
to the effect that he was now content,
having intimately conversed with so
great man as Gladstone.
Others whom he knew on his trips
around the world were kings, popes,
ministers, authors, statesmen.
And he has charming tale to tell
"a "tallow dip" of each.
Indeed, his lecture, "Tallow Dips"
is almost Chautauqua classic, pre-
senting intimate pictures of such great
and famous men as Pope Leo XIII,
George Francis Train, Moody and
Booth Tucker.
This year he has added to the great
characters who have had places in his
Chautauqua lectures in the past, the
portrayal of great men who have been
developed by the world war-promi-
nent Americans and others who are
winning the great struggle.

Picture field of cotton at the close
of day, the darkies grooming their
quaint melodies before the cabin door,
and you have faint idea of the men,
cries that will be stirred by Hams
Jubilee Singers during Chautauqua
week.
Or, if visions of the South before
the war have no romantic lure for you,
do your feet find it difficult to behave
when you hear the quaint syncopation
of the native negro music, with the
tinge of barbarism of their original
African forefathers in its weird
rhythm? DO you respond to the pulls
ing beat of jazz?
If So, there's joy waiting for you
when Ham and his seven talented
negro singers send forth their har-
mony at the Chautauqua.
For they will stag all grades of
music from the classic heights of the
most difficult scores of grand opera,
to the more popular melodies of pres

real reason why he intends to retire

How efficient is your community?
And whose fault is it? How much
blame for lack of fulfillment of your
community dreams rests with the
kickers?
Come to Chautauqua and hear
James S. Knox, "the verbal volcano"
talk about these things.
Mr.. Knox is head of the. Knox School
of Salesmanship. He has made a
careful study of community problems,
knows more about them than any
other one man in America. And he
knows how to say what he thinks fear
lessly and without bias. He is afraid
neither to praise nor to criticise, and
makes a careful survey of local COM
munity problems in advance of his
lecture, so that he brings his remarks
to bear directly on the home town
problems.
Wherever desired, he will conduct a
thirty-minute conference for business
men.

respond to the plaintive appeal of
those distinctly southern songs, like
"Suwanee River" with its whining of
the winds among the canebreaks. You
will find solace in the beauties of

the tender pathos of cole Black Joe,"
rendered only as real darkies can rem

Each member of this talented COL
ored troupe is a college graduate and
a thorough musician. They have be-
come great favorites with Chautau-
qua audiences.
T. Emerson Brooks of New York
says of the leader, and his wonderful
bass voice: "Mr w. A. Ham, basso,
is another Ernest Gamble with sable
skin"
IN addition to the group numbers
en- which the chief fame of this troupe
rests, there are special features by
