KEEP THEM OPEN.

According to statistics of the boards of
health in our large cities 1t Is apparent
that as our windows close in autumn the
number Of cases of pneumonia and other
diseases and disorders of the lungs and
breathing apparatus generally increases.
And as the windows become tight closed
in winter the high-water mark OF cases
of this sort Is reached
Just remember this when with the
first coming of cool weather you ale
tempted TO close up YOU. windows tight
and sit IN room close but comfortable
Better be a little uncomfortable with
plenty of fresh air to breathe. If you are
older and therefore need greater heat for
comfort. try the method Of wearing
heavier clothes before YOU begin TO com
PLAIN that too many windows are open.
IL was remarkable thing that three
winters ago. during that winter when we
felt the coal shortage due 10 the wartime
conditions, there were fewer cases of
pneumonia. than IN other years, and there
was just one conclusion TO draw. That
was that though il made us uncom-

seldom went over 60, and sometimes went
down TO so, it was actually wholesome
Many of our colds are, undoubtedly due
TO over-heated houses, and winter and
autumn are the seasons Cf colds not so
much because of the lower outdoor tenn
perature but because of the higher tenn
perature of our houses, caused by the
closing Of windows and the overheating
of our rooms by artificial means.

ing with Policeman Doll, said: 81 wonder
if we could not get MIR Noah over at the
Ark to help us.
''If he would only let out all those
wild animals | feel sure we could scare
those soldiers into their box and keep them
there"
So over they went and knocked on the
door of the little Ark, and Mr. Noah OPEN
cd the door-a little crack-and asked:
What is wanted?"
When Teddy Bear and Policeman
Doll told him how the soldiers who had
lately come there to live bothered the
boys and spoiled all their good times at
night, Mr.. Noah agreed to let the animals
out.
"They wont hurt them, YOU know"
said old Mr.. Noah. MY animals are very
Withholding, but having lived with me
SO long they have learned not 20 harm
anyone, but don't tell. for that would
spoil their reputation
Teddy Bear and Policeman Doll prom
ised TO keep Mr. Noah's secret, "and,
soldiers to think they are wild, YOU know.
BY and by. when it was time for the
soldiers to begin their march, Mr.. Noah
opened the door of his Ark and out came
the wild animals making very terrible
sounds as they ran across the floor.
The captain tried TO look brave and
called to his men to fire. but each little
soldier stood still. with his gun stifily held
in his arm They did not seem to see or
hear their captain-theIr gaze was fixed
on the oncoming wild animals.
When the tiger and the hon. who
headed the procession, came close enough
for their eyes TO be seen, all the little
soldiers and the captain, too, turned and
ran for their box under the table and INTO
it they scrambled.
They tumbled over each other in their
haste and down went the hid off the box
with bang.
/ was long time before the lid was
carefully lifted by the captain who pceped
out TO see what had happened
Come out, called Teddy Bear;
they have gone back to the Ark. Anyone
would run from such lot of fierce ami
mails as those were and we all know YOU
are very brave and your men, toe"
But you see, captain, explained
Teddy, we TOYS do not need soldiers
to keep order here. We shall be very glad
of your company, so come out with your
men and be one of us.
After that every night the captain
and his men came out and joined the
toys In their good time while Policeman
Doll stood twirling his stick and looking
on-Just to keep order, YOU know"

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
missed you such a lot today Joe that I
hunted up some old socks OF yours with
holes In them and sat down and darned
them just for the sensation. 1t will be
such relief to hear you rage and storm
once more in your quaint way when you
find socks put away IN your drawer with
the holes not darned It's those kind of
sounds Joe, that makes real home music,
more so than any victrola that you can
turn off at will Little did | dream I'd
ever get real pleasure out of darning your
socks, because I've always regarded sock
darning as one of the unnecessary evils.
However | don't want to work you into
such frame Of mind as to send me
batchful TO darn IN every mail, so / think
I'll change the subject.
Speaking of home music, the baby's
voice has developed quite good deal
lately both as to strength and durability,
and he thinks nothing of crying half an
hour without coming up for breath The
Ricketts, next door have taken to knock
ing on the wall quite q lot, especially at
night. Can you imagine that, Joel As
if the baby would pay any attention to
their knocking when he's settled himself
for real hearty cry, The book says babies
should cry a certain amount every day to 4
expand their little lungs, but at the same
time, Joe, the way he goes on sometimes
I'm afraid he might overdo it and
wouldn't want to see the little thing ex-
pand to such an extent as to give himself
a chest all out of proportion to his waist
Your remarks of congrs tulation on Ills |
women at last getting the right to vote |
made me smile up my other sleeve because |
personally Joe every time ! ever heard |
you lose your natural tsne of voice and |
your sense of reason by arguing about |
politics prayed would never be able to |
vote for fear | might get that way my
self So / think maybe III decline the |
nomination. Love from your loving
Tessie.

THE SOLDIERS AND THE ANIMALS

THE SOLDIERS AND THE ANIMALS.
One night in the playroom when the
clock struck IL the toys who lived there
were surprised to soc an army Of soldiers
march around the room and declare they
were the ones to be obeyed.
Policeman Doll, who had always been
the master of the room after the magic
hour struck, lifted his stick and said he
must have order.
'Order?' said the captain of the Wooden
Soldiers. "Order? That is just why we
are here, my good man--to keep things
in order We are new regiment and have
come here to live. Hereafter you obey
us, as all the other toys will do"
There was no use for one lone police
man to defy an army, so Policeman Doll
went over to the corner where Teddy
Bear sat staring and said: III expect
Santa Claus brought this trouble upon
us. Why couldn't he have brought another
Policeman Doll instead Of soldiers, l
should like to know?"
The toys did not at all like this new
order of things in the playrQom, for
the Wooden Soldiers were very strict

LEGION HELD A
BUSY SESSION
Club Rooms VIII be Opened With
Public Reception Sep
tember First

The attendance at the regular
monthly meeting of Marion County
Post No. q of the American Legion,
held last night, was small as a result
of the bad weather, but the session
was a very busy one. Steps were
taken looking to a public reception
and entertainment upon the occas-
ion of the opening of the new club
rooms of the post in the armory,
and the night of Wednesday, Septem-
Der 1st, was decided upon for the
opening.
The committee appointed for the
purpose of organizing woman's aux
iary made a report to the post thru
its chairman, Miss Mary Marshall,
and was authorized to proceed with
the organization of the auxiliary. A
meeting of those who are eligible to
become membesr of the auxiliary will
be called for August IA. 1t is hoped
that as many as possible will be pres
ent at this meeting and become
charter members of this organiza-
tion.
The new club rooms are to be fur
nished at once and a committee has
been appointed for this purpose. A
number of donations have already
been received, including number Of
war relics.
Announcement was made at the
meeting last night that the balance
of the fund raised for the celebration
of Armistice Day of last year has
been turned over to the post This
fund amounts to $666.41.
The adjutant requests that all
members of the post who are not get
ting their copies of the American
Legion Weekly regularly notify hin
at once.

WILL WAGE WAR ON
JOHN BARLEYCORN

Kingston, Jamaica. July 24.-War
against John Barleycorn has been
started in the home of Jamaica rum.
Two American missionaries, the van
guard of a prohibition crusade, have
just aided in the organization of the
Jamaica League Against Alcoholism,
which it is said, is to affiliate with
the Worlds League Against Alcohol
ism, headed by the Rt. Honorable
Left Jones, the Rt. Sir Donald Nc
Lean, NJ P, and Lord Rowallan, vice
president.
One of the American missionaries
urged the mass meeting to follow the
lead of "Pussyfoot" Johnson. One OF
the chief obstacles to making Jamai-
ca dry is the manufacture of rum, al
industry which is said to net the gov
ernment fully S1,O00,000 in revenue
annually.

UNLAWFUL To WEAR
THE UNIFORM
The Army Regulations are In Effect
Again as Before the
War

1t is no longer lawful for the ex-
service person to wear the uniform
or any part of the uniform except
under the regulations that were in
effect prior to the war. Violation of
the regulations makes one subject to
arrest. The following bulletin on the
subject has just been issued by the
national headquarters of the Amer
lean Legion:
1t is unlawful for anyone not
member of the army. navy or marine
corps to wear the uniform, any dis
tinctive part of the uniform or a uni
form any part of which is similar to
distinctive part of the regulation
uniform. Exceptions to this general
provision are:
1. Members of societies composed
entirely of honorably discharged of
icers and men may wear the uniform
on occasions of ceremony, but must
have some distinctive mark on it and
must not wear any insignia of rank.
2. Honorably discharged officers
may wear, on occasions of ceremony,
the uniform of the highest grade they
held.
8. Honorably discharged men are
allowed to wear the uniform from
place of discharge to their homes,
during a period of three months, but
on reaching home within this period
must Immediately divest themselves
of the uniform.
A. Persons representing a military
character in a theatrical or moving
picture performance may wear the
uniform during that performance,
providing it does not tend to bring
discredit on the service.
Instructors and members of cadet
corps may wear the uniform pre-
scribed for their corps.
Members of the Boy Scouts. naval
militia and similar organizations
may wear the uniform of their organ
ization.
Members of the National Guard
may wear the uniform prescribed for
the guard.
The official American Legion cere-
monial badge is the distinctive mark
recommended for legionaires in COM
pliance with the above.

STUDEBAKER BIG SIX
CLIMBS STEEP GRADE

Society folks and others at such
famous New York summer resorts as
Saranac Lake, Massens Lake, Lake
Placid and Plattsburg have rev
topic of conversation this year. They
are talking about the first motor car
to ascend Studley hill in high gear a
feat which hundreds of them witness
ed recently.
The car that finally turned the
trick was a Studebaker big six driven
by j. Frank Sharp, of OgdensbuTg,
N. Y. and just to show that the per-
formance was due to the power of the
car rather than to any element of
luck, Mr.. Sharp repeated the climb
five times in succession.
Studley hill is known to thousands
of tourists as the steepest grade In
the Adirondacks. Located near Ma
lone, N. Y, it is 1900 feet high and
more than mile long. Motorists
have been awed by its steepness and
alarmed by its sharp turns. Some
of the more skilled drivers have at
times tried to make the ascent in
high gear, but have been forced to
shift before they got one-third of the
way up.
When Mr.. Sharp made it known
that he intended to essay the climb
with his Studebaker in high gear,
speculation was rife among those at
the various exclusive summer resorts
as to the outcome of the test, and
few believed it could be accomplished.
Hundreds of them turned out for the
occasion, and much to their surprise
the Studebaker with Mr.. Sharp at
the wheel and another passenger at
his side wormed its way up the long,
steep, twisting road. The car began
its journey at fifty miles an hour,
reached the crest at thirty-five miles
an hour. and never once did its speed
drop below fifteen miles an hour dur
ing the climb.
