to expect such a report from the tariff con1mls-

with the duty of reporting the status of our

What is the news Of the day.
Good neighbOrs, I pray?
They say the balloon.
Is gone up TO the moon.
TT was the day OF the county
fair. Puss Junior had bought
\ his ticket and stood looking
about him uncertain what to do.
They say the balloon has gone
up to the moon" cried the crowd.
why, I've been up to the moon"
said Puss to himself. why should
1 get excited over that?" But,
nevertheless, he walked up to the
balloon man and asked, when does
your next balloon go up?"
In about FIVE minutes,3 replied
the owner Of the aircraft. 1--WE
have an ascension every half hour"
We'll" replied our little hero,
"I would like to be one OF your
passengers"
Very WELL" answered the owner
Of the big balloon, pay your shil-
ling and you shall have a seat in
the basket"
After waiting for perhaps an
hour the basket car was filled. Ny
how the people cheered as the bal
loon ascended, and when it had
almost reached the clouds Puss
leaned over the edge OF the basket
and threw little notes down to the
people below. Tell my good
friends that Puss in Boots Junior
has gone up in a balloon" he wrote
on one Of them.
On another, he scribbled, 'Puss
in Boots, Junior, is about to visit
the Man in the Moon"
You had better be careful said
the owner Of the balloon, "hoW do 1
know we'll reach the moon?"
"If you follow my directions you
WILL" replied Puss Junior, "for
have been there before and, to tell
you the truth, it is a most remark
able place. The moon is an uneG-
plored country, you know"
well, I'll take your word for II,
said the navigator Of the balloon
express. II don't know much about
these sky roads, but If you'll kindly
consent to tell me where to steer
my aircraft, perhaps We'll reach
the moon without a mishap."
Trust to me-" said Puss Junior,
"for I have travelled far and IL I
don't know the way to the moon,
my name is not Puss in Boots
Junior"
So the owner Of the balloon
steered the big aircraft straight up
to the sky. Oh, dear me! But
strange things will happen! For,
as they were sailing along as
smoothly as could be, there came a
sudden gust Of wind, and the bal
loon, instead OF pointing for the big,
round moon that shOne like a sill
yer dollar overhead, suddenly
swerved to one side and before any
one could say Jack Robinson"
there was a dreadful explosion and
Puss and his fellow passengers
found themselves falling to the
earth.
"Good gracious!7 exclaimed Puss,
whats the matter?"
Before his question was answer
ed, the balloon crashed into a big
willow tree, and in the next story
you shall hear what happened
after that.

YHLLOWLEAF. By saeha Gregory.
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Com
pany.
A novel Of London life, with a
rather ponderous plot, centering
around a musical genius and a bed
ridden old lady. About these two
figures revolve the other characters
OF the story, travelling IN weIl-de-
fined orbits, as planets around a
sun.
A quiet English family is thrown
into confusion by the marriage of
a widowed daughter-in-law to a
famous musician. Thereafter all is
turmoil, plot following plot and
quarrel succeeding quarrel. The
eminent pianist fairly radiates evil
to all about him. He starts his
young stepson on the primrose path
which is beset by the pitfalls OF
wine and women. A perfectly
proper British uncle, and even the
most impeccable OF buffers are in
volved by the Vaccinations Of the
gifted villain.
But the intriguing pianist finds a
match in the invalid Lady Mary,
and the story develops into a strug-
gle OF two masterful minds, con-
tending for the stepson even as
Greek and Trojan strove for the
body OF Patroclus.
Then an unusually severe attack
OF illness puts the strong-minded
Lady Mary out Of the game, the uncle
is forced by adverse circumstances
TO withdraw from the struggle, the
precOciOus child is fairly trapped
in the evil net woven about him, and
all appears hOpelessly lost, when
the villain opportuneIy dies, not
without a suspicion Of having been
helped in his going. And just as sud-
denly the whole tangle straightens
out, the child is saved. the Lucrezia
Borgia Of the story dies by her own
hand, the twO-time widow and the
man who has truly loved her all the
time are reunited, and the perspica-
cioUs reader scents the fragrance
OF orange blossoms, and, listening
closely, hears the pealinE OF we'd
ding bells.

He gave her eYasive answers. In
November, 1906. he left Utah and
came to Washington. She heard
something that made her fear he

Nervousness and
Headaches Caused
1v Stomach

There is a much closer connection
between the stomach and brain than
most people imagine. 1t is because of
this close connection that indigestion,
belChing, sour, gassy stomach and
other stomach miseries-all OF which
are sure signs of acid stomach-are so
often followed by severe attacks of
binding, splitting headaches.
Nervousness, sleeplessness, irritable
ity, mentaldepressiOn ,melancholia and
many other disorders which affect the
brain can also nearly always be traced
to the same source acid-stomach.
So often you hear people say II am
20 nervous | think I'll fly to pieces"
or "Itseoms 4 never get q good night S
sleep any more, my nerves are all on
edge" Little do they dream that acid
stomach is the direct cause OF their
troubles because very often there are
no pains in the stomach at all. So you
see, you can't always judge an acid
stomach condition by the way your
stomach, itself, feels.
If you are weak, nervous, unfit
you are not up TO your old time form
If you lack your accustomed enthu-
siasm, energy and pep-make this test
and see if it ism t acid-stomach that is
holding you back - robbing you of
your health, strength and vigor. Get

AlkaIi in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its

poos contain too much alkaii This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
IS pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply

creamy lather, which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,

dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and

You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, its very cheap, and a few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.
