ROOFS.

Roofs are wat bildings are put un- der. The difrents between a roof and a celler is the rest of the house.
 People don't appreciate how usefiu their roof is till a cyclone or sum thing blows it off, and then they open their umbrellas in the house and say, My goodniss, we've had the roof all these yeers and never realized 1t.
 Roofs are used principilIy to keep out the wattir and keep up the ap- peerances. No one ever notices a house with a roof on, but as soon as they see one without a. roof they make all sorts of remarks about it. Proving you are never missed till you are gone.
 No matter how high up you go in a house, you can always go higher till you come to the roof, the advantage being that no one ever wunts to go eny higher than that enyway. The highest roofs are on the highest houses, but no matter how high your roof is, the view is no better unless the other roofs erround are lower.
 Some people live all their life with out ever going up on their roof, some because they are afraid it mite make them dizzy, and others because they haven't the ambition. People that fall off of roofs hardly ever get over it.
 Roofs are genrelly painted red, proberly to make them look like the others.

In the Springtir11e

It's just at this time of the year that we need something taken from Nature to restore the vital forces.
 People get sick because they go away from Nature, and the only way to get well is to go back. Something grows out of the ground in the form of vegetation to cure almost every i'll. Some of these vegetable growths are understood by man, and some are not. Animals, 1t would seem, know what to do when they are sick better than men and women. Observers have noted that a sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating food and seek out some vegetable growth in the field or yard, which, when found and eaten, often restores appetite and health. Haven't you seen these animals do this very thing yourself?
 Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since found herbs and roots. provided by Nature to overcome constipation,

Some dynasties across tn sea. that used to worry you and me, and i'll our hearts with bitter hate, are wiped completely off tn slate. TT Hohen- zolIern's bit tn dust, tn Hapsburg's got tn swatted rust, tn Romanof's are in tn scrap, with Bolsheyism now on tap. These dynasties so very punk, were founded on 8 lot O bunk about tn vested right O kings to gob- ble other peoples things. But Yam kee boys went OCT tn dam and slaughtered 'en for Uncle Sam, and now their crowns and other trash they're glad to barter of for hash. So goes it with tn dynasties, built up on Kraut and Sweitzer cheese, and founded on tn cruel creed, O. swipin' anything they need. But here we havo a dynasty, that is a pleasant one to see, T4ohenrake, ' I'd have you know gives every one an equal show. There are no titled czars or kings, nor duchesses with sproutin' wings, but every man and woman, too, is democratic, through and through Tn 'Hohenrakes" will never die, they raise tn stuff that makes tn pie, their deeds will live from year to year, so long as garden truck is dear

Social And Personal Doinqs In The W0man's World
WASTE CAMP AICN
 STARTS SEARCH
Housewives Start Wholesale Drive in Attics and Gel
 lars for Asst. Charities.

Bridgeport is having an object les son in community rummaging. Peo- pie in all walks of life, young and old alike, are rummaging - ransacling the deep dark corners of closets and attics and storerooms for rubbish. Everyone is filling the Associated Charities waste bags that are to be collected and sold to raise funds for the Day Nursery.
 Now that the war has ceased, pub lic-spirited citizens are turning their attention more and more to the topic of child-welfare. The systematic training of the cantonments has shown us what science and care could do for the manhood of the country. Now it remains to see what can be done by a widespread drive on conserving babyhood.
 The past year was designated by the government as Childrens' Year, and in the statistics taken and exam nations made it was discovered that the infant death rate in the United States is six times as great as the war losses of England during the first three years of the war There were also an appalling number of children found to be undernourished and in need of medical attention.
 In this connection the Day Nurser- les come to the front as the logical center for the building up of a wide spread and rational child-welfare movement The Day Nursery has charge of children of all ages brought from all sorts of homes. Each of these little ones receives the benefit of specialized care and play direc- ton, and a nourishing diet that ex- perience has taught to be most suited to their needs
 Children are the most important assets of the community and the na- ton, and in tackling the problems of reconstruction. far-sighted people are placing the child-welfare question in the front ranks, as one of foremost importance. The Associated Chari- ties Day Nursery is doing its big share already, but expects to branch out still further as wider needs and moro means arise
 The officers look for an unreserved support from the entire population of Bridgeport in the waste campaign, which is so excellent a means of rais- ing extra funds without appealing for money. The bags are nearly all distributed and the collection will be- gin in a.. few days. The workers be- lieve that every home in Bridgeport will have at least one bag ready for the collectors.

THE MERCHANT SAILORS
 WE'RE THE BEST SEANTEN

Honolulu, Ohio, April 23-At a ban quet in his honor last night, Admiral Sims declared the convoy system, depth charges, and the hydrophone or listening device ended the sub marine menace. The convoy system was not adopted earlier, he said, be- cause officers generally believed mer- chant seamen were not capable of directing movements of ships in large numbers.
 When we finally tried it, we found the merchant sailors better seamen than we were" he said.

GET INSURANCE

Insurance is a goodly thing, you've heard tn agents gaily sing, twill fill your system up with sand, to have policy in hand. This man who on his knees you see, had he insurance? No-sir-ee, he never saw beyond his nose, and now behold his awful woes. If he but had a policy, he wouldnS be afraid you see, he'd know his folks would get th' cash, when dog had made him into hash. And so he pleads for one more chance, his worldly wisdom to enhance, and if 'tis granted you will find he'll be a man O different mind. He'll take his garden rake and hoe and out into tn garden go, and there by honest, pleasant toll, insure his 1iv- in from tn soil. This good, home made insurance plan is open now to every man, you simply join tn gar den club and you're assured your daily grub. Tn charters open every day, you do not have a cent to pay, no goat to ride or pledge to take except to handle hoe and rake.

and of these he selected Mayapples leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, and from them made little white sugar-coated pills, that he called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must understand that when your intestines are stopped up, poisons and decayed matter are im- prisoned in our system and these are carried by the blood through your body. Thus does your head ache, you get dizzy, you can't sleep, your skin may break out, your appetite declines you get tired and Respondent. As a matter of fact, you may get sick all over. Don't you see how useless all this suffer ing is? All that is often needed is dose of castor oil, or sonething which is moro pleasant, few of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he has placed in all drug stores for your convenience and health. Try them by all means. They are proba- bly, the very thing you need, right now

The New Clothes

The type of negligee that has so long been popular, consisting of straight underslip and lacy over-p pack ct, is threatened with a rival in the long, flowing model that has been sponsored recently. This type has been in favor always with makers of hand decorated negligees or those of the unusual sort that places art above style, but 1t is apparently to come in- to Its own with makers of more gen erally salabIe merchandise.
 A number of models on these lines. sleeveless, but with arms protected by folds of the material, slit to allow the arm to pass through are becoming. They are V or round necked and with out finish at either neckline or arm holes; a narrow ribbon girdle is usu- ally the only decoration, and color combinations in the materials them selves are relied upon to give interest. Occasionally a lace panel goes down the front.

AS silk suits, it is said, are to be much worn this summer, what one might call specially prepared" waistcoats are provided for them. These are made of very dainty mat erials, lace and net and GeorgettS singly or in combination; lovely af- fairs they are, oftentimes. In some broad lace is used, in others finely tucked net or lawn, with frills of very narrow lace. These usually have col lars attached, and some sort of belt or girdle effect at the waistline. They may also be as elaborate or as simple as desired.
 There is no end to jet. It is not only used on serge but for entire gowns and for all the fantastic ac- cessories. There are girdles made of long jet bugles that hang around the waistline like the feather fringes of South Pacific Islanders. These girdles have roses twisted in among the bugles or made into long ends that swing down the side of the skirt.
 This type of decoration is very fre- quent on the French gowns and it is easy to see from whence the inspira tion came. It was decoration of the houses in honor of the armistice. Two of the best houses in Renaissance style on Fifth avenue delighted the New York public with 4his French lmediaeVal decoration, the streamers
