A COMPLICATED
CASE

Walla Walla Wash, April 6, 1918
For many yeaors l have been grow
ing heavier and weaker which along
with trouble with my kidneys, Drop
sy, Stomach and Liver also Rheu-
matism I was just weighted to the
ground. l have been unable to do
any work the last two years, last
winter ! could go no further and
took to my bed for what all seemed
to say "for the last time" nervous
breakdown and | was given no hope
then | heard of neighbor who had
not walked for years having been
made to walk at the Human Bake
Oven and | was taken there for bet
ter treatment and to the astonish-
ment of all, even myself, | improved
from the very first, from the 'hope-
lesscase" of few weeks ago / am
up and about without my former
ailments and have lost 35 pounds
and am still losing. l cannot find
words to express my feeling at my
wonderful recovery, also what | have
learned about diet and proper care
is worth many times the trifling cost
Of the course which was a real pleas
to take.

BOY SCOUTS SAVE cRAcoW.

The thrilling story of how the hoy scouts of CracaW saved their city Poland'S nost ancient and nohicst een- ter, was made public in Washington by Polish agents.
 Although the famous hoy scout movement brought invaluable aid to the allies. particularly in England the records of the international oreahHa- ton bear no brighter or more courage ous example of heroism than that oi the Polish boys who shouldercd rifles and guarded the ancient hcarths of their fathers.
 When the Austrian empire fell, the Austrian officials and soldiers in Cra- COW vanished Tt once. The city was left without leadership.
 It was then that two seoutmasterS, trained as officers. rallied the boy scouts. They wer. assigned to fixed posts and within few hours were so- Ncing the city with military preCi- sion and dash that soon checked all efforts at footing and lawlessneSs.
 The bows guarded the public build ings. military depots and other points, including stores of high explosives which were sufficient to have wrecked the city should they have fallen into the hands of the reds.

Red Cheeks and Pep
By Mollie Price Cook

ny MOllle fFlCc COOK
1t used to be the fashion for girls
to be weak. Femininity was
judged by fragility. Nowadays the
table has turned. 1t is the fashion
for a girl to be strong and healthy.
Everybody admires an athletic
girl.
A real girl wants to have red
cheeks, a fine skin, and lots of
pep" She wants to be good to
look at, to radiate sunshine so she
can impress the people she meets.
To be good-looking girl need not
have beautiful features. But she
must be vital and magnetic.
The girl who is healthy and ath-
letic should stay that way by right
living. The girl who is not should
get busy and acquire pep" To
try to conceal your lack of red
blood by rouge does not fool any
one. "A good natural color comes
from exercising the muscles. Mus
cles that are not used soften. Hard,
well-used muscles make the body
beautiful.
Fresh air is as important as ex-
ercise. We fuss about the high
cost of living, yet the most valu-
able thing in the world-air-is
free to all. and we do not use
enough of it. Exercise out-of-doors
" - beauty builder known.
And it Is the greatest fun! The
,.- .p .lu all OF their spare
time out of-doors show it in their
looks, their walk, and their quick
thinking.
There are times of the year
when outdoor athletics are diff
cult. Then a girl can open the
windows of her room and exercise
indoors. If she has a gymnasium
at school, it should be kept in use.
Here are indoor sports from which
a girl can choose what she likes
best-and she can organize clubs
for playing them: Basket ball;
indoor base ball: folk dancing;
tumbling: wrestling fencing
swimming: track"
Don't be an on-looker, girls. Get
into action! Appoint yourself a
of one to develop INTO
one of the peppiest, most athletic.
allAround American girl in your
community.

"Why l know who makes them"
cried Peggy, Elizabeth Ramsey,
is in my room in school She has
filled ever 50 many orders already.
Last week. she got two department
stores and that book store to dis
play some pictures she had framed
on her own hook without orders
for them. They really are artistic
and very attractive, All during
the year, she saves unusual maya
zine cOvers--a pretty head or a
good picture by some well'known
artist, or a striking convential de-
sign such as appears on some Of the
smart fashion magazines now and
then. She has made arrangements
with a hardware store 10 cut glass
to fit each picture at about twenty
cents apiece"
Almost any girl can do just as
Betty Ramsey did and make a neat
little sum out of it too. The ma.
terials needed and the work re-
quired are very simple. The pas

glass, picture, and cardboard are
bound together At the edges with
the tape. When they are so bound
together. the tape makes d nrat,

The only problem then remaining
is to market the pictures and this
may be solved just as Betty solved
it by arranging for some store to
the completed pictures and
take orders. on a commission basis, !
