GIVE MORE FREEDOM.

A dog must have freedom and
exercise or he cannot be we'll and
happy. IF your dog must be chained
a part of the time, fasten a wire
from the corner of the house or barn
to a tree or post, or between two
trees. This wire may be thirty feet
long. Suspend from the wire a chain
or leather strap by a ring which must
be large enough to run easily on the
wire. The other end of the chain
must have a fastening which can be
attached to the dogs collar, then he
can run up and down the length of
the wire and get some exercise, and
also get into the shade when the sun
is hot. 1t should be 50 arranged that
the dogs can get up or lie down or
run without danger of being tangled
in the chain or leash
Never tease or torment a dog. It is
likely to make him ill-ten1pered. If
you treat a dog well, he is one of the

AND EVEN MOTHER
USED THE SLANG
OF HER DAY!

My mother de1ested slang. The use
of slang expressions was to her some
thing very closely akin to making
up a bed without properly airing it
or going to a party without clean
handkerchief
When my sister or l used some or
the slang of our day, she used to say
plaintively that she couldn't think
where we got hold of such express
sions. Had any one said to me then
that my mother used slang / should
have been incredulous and very likely
indignant While 1 considered my
own right to a latitude of language
inalienable to my youth, felt, if only
subconsciously, that mothers (and
especially mine, who was of the good
old-fashioned variety of genuine
mothers) were different One would
no more expect them to use slang
than one would expect them to wear
short skirts, or dance, or ride a
bicycle or want the largest helping
of ice cream. L am sure if l had
heard my mother say "rubberneck'
or "for the love of Nike" the sound
of such words on her lips would have
Mortified me even more than they
Mortified her when she heard them
on mine.
1t was only recently that the great
revelation came to me. Harking back
to my childhood 1 had used one O.
my mothers favorite words, rain
functions" and was promptly asked
what it meant by person who had
not had the advantage of being
brought up in New England Sur
prised at her ignorance, I explained
at once that it was my mothers word
for-well, for what? 1 had to put my
reluctant brain to work before !
could find words that gave even a
faint flavor of what mother meant
when she said: Now you children,
you clear right out of this kitchen,
you're getting altogether too ram

Y. w. C.. A. TO START
BOOMING AGENCY

In order to increase its efficiency
and serve a greater number of girls
than ever before, the Y. w. c. A is
about to start "a rooming agency with
an experienced secretary in charge,
who will follow up the work and see
that Y. w. C. A. benefits and stand
ards are maintained. This will fill
long felt want which the association
had hoped to relieve by the new
boarding home, the building of which
has been necessarily postponed by
war and unsettled conditions.
On January first, the large Indus
trial Center at 1146 Barnum avenue
which was built by the National As
ISOLATION, was given to the local Y.
w. c. A. to carry on the work with
all it's privileges and responsibilities.
This large, modern, fully equipped
building supplies the present needs
for. club meetings, dances, cafeteria,
on the East Side in far more COM
fort manner. than the East Side Home
at 3S5 Barnum avenue ever could.
Therefore since January, the latter
building has been used exclusively
for a boarding home although it can
accomm odate only sixteen young wo-
men.
Now that the plan for establishing
a. rooming agency has been adopted,
this Barnum Avenue Home will be
sold, as good business principles for
bid the exclusive use of this valuable
piece of property for the benefit of
only sixteen girls when the income
from the same investment would help
a far greater number. The Y. w. c.
A is very happy that it's dream OF
serving a great number of girls is
about to be realized in a definite plan
for a rooming agency which viii
reach all parts of the city.

When 1 had turned, grumbling at the
words they select to leave out of the
abridged, to the unwieldly colossus
in the hall, 1 could scarcely believe
my knowledge OF the sequence of the
alphabet. But a careful resurvey
failed to find me tripping. Rambunc-
tious was not there. The dictionary
passed blithely on from rambler to
rameal { the same as ramal, if you
must know.
AS I laid the dictionary down,
new light burst upon me. Rambunc-
tfous was not a word in good stand
ing. What was it then hut the slang
of an Older generation. Ny mother
had used slang.

Based on Pepsin

Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is alburninous matter. The purpose of Pepsodent is to dissolve 1t, then to constantly combat it.
 But pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. So pepsin long seemed impossible.
 What science has now done is to invent a harmless activating method. That method is employed in Pepso- dent. The result is tooth taste which will do what nothing else has done. And five years of tests seem to clearly prove that it opens new dental era.
 Pepsodent has been submitted to every form of clinical and laboratory test. Dentists everywhere have watched its effects and now urge its daily use. This week we offer a test to you, and we ask you to accept it.
