DAILY HEALTH TALKS
The Best Way to Treat
Constipation
BY S. C. BABCOCK. N. D.

The medical books name many drugs
that win move the bowels. The drug store
shelves are loaded down with laxatives,
.purgatives and pills. The trouble with
most of them is the after-effects. Con-
stipatcd people know that pills work all
right for little while, but they soon lose
their effect. and change has to be made
stosomething else. The constant taking OF
pills results in form Of bowel inactivity
6 that is difficult TO cure. The system be-
comes so accustomed TO laxative drugs
that the organs Just won't work without
them, and so the pill habit becomes as bad
as. constipation itself. DR. Pierce, Of Buff
.falo, N. Y, seems TO me to have the right
idea. He saws the bowels should first be
gently moved with Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, and in the meantime laxative foods
only should be eaten. Figs, prunes, olive
oil, spinach, bran, vegetables and fruits are
fine for constipation Chew every bite
thoroughly, eat little meat, and be as
active as POSSIBLE. Now, doesn't that
seem sensible? Pleasant Pellets will start
the bowels working right; then it is up to
YOU to keep them right by right eating
Try Pleasant Pellets for sick headache,
coated tongue, biiousness, dizziness, tor
pid liver or to break up q cold. They
are Just finel
DR.. Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment
soothes, cools and heals piles in a most
gratifying way. Perhaps there is no other
remedy for this torturing trouble that
relieves so surely and quickly. pr. Pierce
believes Anodyne Pile Ointment viii over
come any case that can be overcome by
medical treatment Try it right now
AsDr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets are intended
Cor people who suffer from kidney dis
orders -whose backs ache, and whose
systems arc overrun with uric acid. Nearly
escrybody has too much, uric acid.
Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid Quickly,
aSithey are made double strength.

The laborer or the professional nan
who overcharge for his services Is
just as guilty or the p
teering as is the dealer who sells a
given article, taking an UNCON-
SCIONABLE profit. The institution
which charges an unreasonable fee
for it's service and the landlord who,
raises his rents to an UNCONSCION-
ABLE figure are just as culpable as
the mercenary Hebrew who sold the
army overcoats made from "shoddy."
The man who deliberately evades a
public duty is as much a profteer as
the one who purposely profits through
public misfortune or at the expense
of national necessity.
The profteer is abroad in the land
He is to be found under many dis
guises, and. in every avenue Of trade
He is, perhaps, most to be blamed
when he poses as a patriotic citizen
and public bendfactor, but he
should be severely punished under
whatever guise he may stalk Prof.
teering will cease only when prof.
teers are thrown into the jails by
hundreds. 1t seems now the Federal
Government realizes the menace and
is about to adopt this method to end
the shameless and unpatriotic prac-
tice.
After all is said, profiteering is an
INDIVIDUAL sin-not COLLEC-
TIVE evil And a PROFITEER
is he who receives an illegitimate
profit a profit in excess of his
rightfql due.

but all the clerks were busy. They
carried boxes to and fro. and swept
and brushed and busted; oh, ev-
eryone was on the go, until his
gallus busted | said 10 Johnson,
cheerful-faced, the tumult round
him viewing, "Oh, why all this in
decent haste. when there is moth
ing doing? Why don't the clerks
sit down and rest, their useless la
bors dropping? Then they would
hump and do their best when Gus
toners COME shopping" Said
Johnson, People pass my store, on
errands vain and dizzy; and they
look through the open door and see
the clerks all busy; and they re-
fleets, That Johnson gent is sure
ly up and coming; while other
merchants make lament, he keeps
things fairly humming,' If they
looked in and. saw my men all half
asleep and yawning, they'd think
I ran a moldy den, and go their
way doggoning. There's nothing
like a busy front when trade is
slack and dragging; SO every
clerk must have his stunt, and keep
his trilbys wagging" I swiped

as I went, reflected, "There are

Urges High School Girls
 To Continue Their Studies
MISS SANNIE BASSETT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY, OUTLINES PROGRAM OF INTER-
 ESTING VOCATIONS FOR GIRLS

for any girl entering a responsible positions and not possessing a proper field of general knowledge and in formation This is up to the girl herself. She must educate herself in history, geogra phy, spelling and keep up with the times in topics of the day"
 There Is a strong appeal for mod ern history for girls In secretariai po sitions The busy business men who employs a girl to have charge of his office expects herto know d little more than just the mere Fundamentals she has acquired in school. To be a truly educated in d position one holds, and to be a success in that position. one must constantly study the work, never lnger behind, always follow the times, and keep up the interest in the chosen vocation'
 Teachers must have a certain nat ural character in order to prove a sue cess. They must have patience and endurance, constantly study their work, and understand the nature oi children. That teachers must know everything Is not requirement,' said Miss Bassett. That is an old phrase and a mistake. Teachers, of course, must have a fund of general information, besides the necessary knowledge of the various studies, but there is hardly a person who really knows everything. This profession ap- pea1s to many girls.
 With the Americanizatfon program now q principal work in this country, the social welfare field offers fascinat- ing work for the average girl. One must be a graduate of a college, how ever, to enter that field.'' Miss Bas- sett said that every girl should have an evocation as we'll as vocation. which will give her a proper interest in both activities.

J Lee Nichlson, formerly a major in the department, was the guest of honor. The patrons of the evening were: MT. and Mrs F. N. Payne, MT. and Mrs. John Heasty, pr. and Mrs. Charles Scoville of Syracuse, MT. and Mrs. Charles Chidsey, MT. and Mrs. R. E. Booth, MT. and Mrs. Victor Springford, Jr., and Henry Hufnagel.
 They with the 300 present were much pleased with the success of the evening.
 The committee in charged onsisted of Mrs. Victor Springrord. IT., chair man; Frank J. Judge, Miss Alice II. Long and William Korff.

Many girls upon graduation from High school lind it hard to decide WI her they should continue their studies fin the vocation which they have chosen. or consider their edu- cation at end. No matter what field of work a girl enters, upon her completion of certain course, her continuation of the study of the sub ject and the stimulation of interest in the work is most emphatically urged by Miss Sannie Bassett of Salem street, one of the most popu- lar members of the High school fac uity.
 Miss Bassett has come in contact with masses of young girls through her vocation as a teacher and leader of clubs and she mas both studied their difficulties and offered excel- lent advice in the choice of profess siors and various vacations for girls At the present time when women arc holding positions as responsible as those held by men of in both pro fessional and COZ nierciaI capa cities it is most urgent that girl gra duates of High school and even public schools. who possess the initiati tive. the desire and the longing to become successes in the world, pursue and continue their studies and enlarge their stock of knowledge.
 Attractive courses are being offer ed by various schools, secretarial work, teaching Journalism, nursing. social welfare work, club work, and a number of others are mentioned by Miss Bassett as the most appealing to girls graduating from High schools.
 50 often girls complete their course of training in a certain voca- ton and know Nothing but the tech nicai principles of the work" stated Miss Bassctt. There is no excuse

CHEMISE CHIFFONS.

To run through some of the de- tails, chiffon is used in chemise ef- feet over satin embroidered about the edges in pearls and brilliants and drawn up at front and back so that little curved drapings fall over the sides and bands of two tone ribbons are stitched straight across the front, following the drape in curves over the sides and held with flat bows at the back It is one of those dresses which has been developed in greater numbers this season which though of evening type and sleeveless, has the fabric drawn up to a straight and rather high neckline.
 The color schemes in many Of the dancing frocks are particularly al- turing. contrasting tulle Is draped and tuniced, festooned and pleated. Little bindings of satin in varied colors elaborate the models and much lace is used in ruffles, hounces and overdrapes.

TREATMENT OF
 THE STAIRWAY

Nearly every one overfurnishes the hall. For the hall and stairway is perhaps the most perplexing pro- blem in the whole house; and, be- cause it is so hard to furnish so as to look well, first one thing is added and then another hoping that in this way a happy miracle will be achiev- ed. But if the truth were generally known it is neither quantity nor ex- pense that makes for beauty in a hall, but the art of knowing how to accomplish a real simplicity and dignity.
 A plain, unbroken background Is the first step toward this desirable end. And, among the cheaper papers the plain one is always the best value, as, among the more expensive ones, it is in the better taste. Unless there is a wooden wainscoting it is always hafer to paper the hall from floor to ceiling continuously in the one paper. Fortunate are those who may have white woodwork here as well as elsewhere in the house; but if the woodwork is brown the paper should be one of the cool, light tones of tan.
 The old idea of having a number of pictures in the hall, some half dozen of them meandering up the star wall, is slowly giving place to the wall unadorned, save by a. hand some tapestry hung above the only piece of large furniture; or in the occasional lighting fixture
 The larger hall is Just as difficult to furnish as the very small one since it is most important that the effect still remains uncluttered, without appearing bare. The wall spaces should be well studied, and doors help in determining the position of the furniture, and of course the fur niture should be in proportion to the size of the hall and the position of the stairs.
 Not only should halls be formal in character, but they should also be neutral in color. The sense of this will be manifest when it Is remem- bered that a hall is simply a means of connection; and as such 1t should harm oniously connect the room color schemes as well the rooms.

TAssT1s OF DETERRENT coLoRs.

Triple or double tassels each match ing one of the brightest colors are used with restraint in the en- broidery on the body of the blouses The blouses themselves are decorated in heavy chenille, floss or braid that matches the navy or black Georgette, with a bit of color running through
 The tassels are placed at the fast ening of the rope girdle at the waist, itself blue or black.
 When chenille is used in the em- broidery tassels are also made of it, and there is a chenille fringe around the bottom of the blouse. Each frond of one of these fringes is weighted down with a gun metal bead, an effective finish.
 Thread fringes also play large part in these blouses some of them intricately knotted with gold thread. Among the "ostrtch" fringes 1ooped soutache is novel, at the hem of @ braided blouse.
 In striking contrast to the dark colorings, flowing lines and elaborate ly girdied, indfstinct waistlines of these latest additions to the o--erb1ouse series are two tailored blouses shown here for the fall of heavy novelty silk in white. IL is strictly tailored, on mannish lines, featuring a reproduc- ton of the imported bosom which is set in the front, a combination Of small tucks fine pleats and finely em- broidered strips.
 The other is entirely plain, except for collars and cuffs which are heav- fly embroidered in wool in bright color Suoh as coral or apple green.
