What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
HILDAH.

Though some etymologists claim
that Huldah. the prophecies of the
Old Testament, should not be iden-
tilted with the Swedish Huldah, the
evidence seems almost conclusive
in favor of the assertion that they
are one and the same name in diff
ferent forms.
The old mythical Holda, or Huldr
(the faithful or the muffied) was a
white spinning lady, who makes her
feather-bed when it SHOWS. Ac-
cording to the legend, she brings
presents at the years end; rewards
good spinners, and Furnishes idle
ones She is supposed to have a
long nose wear a blue gown ana
white veil and drive through the
fields in a car with golden wheels.
In the Scandinavian countries,
where she is very popular, they call
her Huldr, the propitious. Germany
prefers Holda- Often she is con-
fused with Hilda. Though the lat
ter name has great vogue in Eng
land and also in this country, HUI
dab is equally prevalent. Its Scan
dinavian ancestry is almost lost
sight of here, though it is notice
ably more prevalent in Swedish
communities, and for some reason
has quite bit of popularity in the
South.
Amber is Huldah's talismanic
gem. 1t will protect her from dis
ease and. give her great physical
strength. Friday is her lucky day
and her lucky number.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE TREE HOUSE.

One day, when Uncle wigsily, the
nice bunny rabbit gentleman, was
out walking, looking for an adven-

Cheer up, the robin bird boy. Bob
by was scraping his feet in the sand
and sort Of throwing little stones
about with his beak, and he didn't
look very happy. Bobby didn't.

because the cherries are all gone
or do you feel badly because you
will soon have to hy down South

"Oh, 1t isn't that" grumbled Bob

up song, after which he was named.

"Oh, nonsense" laughed the

Daily Horoscope

The Sun rules strongly for good
this day. according to astrolOgy.
Uranus is in beneffc aspect and
Neptune family adverse.
1t is a sway under which to push
all important affairs, especially
those that concern large groups of
men and women.
The stars smile on all persons in
authority, iRparting to them added
confidence and Extraordinary power
to achieve what seems an impossi-
biIity.
Owing to the position Of Neptune
OcCultists declare that intrigue and
deception may be more commonly
practiCed at this time than in pre-
vious periods Of political campaign
ing. Women may be easily con-
fused and perplexed for the stars
cloud the reasoning faculties.
There is rule that emphasizes
the influence of personality and
thus increases selfishness, egotism
and ambitions of the baser sort.
An awakening to the need of
building improvements and the in
staIlation Of sanitary devices In
many cities, especially in Southern
centers of population will be mark
ed during the coming year.
Neptune is in an aspect that is
held to bode i'll for places that are
unclean and unsightly. Danger Of
disease Is forecast and an epidemic
seems to be indicated.
Women and children should be
especially safeguarded at this uime
which may be peculiarly unfortu-
nate for those who are OF highly
nervous organization.
Mars threatens serious fires in a
region east of the Mississippi. Loss
of life seems to be foreshadowed.
Labor comes under a planetary
government that is promising for
future progress, but there appears
to be danger of a serious strike
next winter.
Persons whose birthdate II is
probably will have a year in which
business affairs proceed as usual.
Children born on this day may
be rather high-tempered and sensi-
tive, but they have the possibility
of great success. which is more or
less dependent on the hour of birth.

The Head Nurse
Says:
CHANGE UNDERWEAR DAILY.

"
The two and one-half million
pores in the skin, constantly dis
charging the waste matter of the
body, pour upon the surface of the
skin in cool weather about one pint
daily of oily matter. In warmer
weather the amount is doubled and
trebled. So there is no time when
one could say he had not perspired.
Because of the even distribution of
this out pouring upon the skin and
thence to our clothes we are not
conscious of our clothes being soil
ed on the first DAY they are worn.
Our underclothes should be po-
rus to allow the air through to the
skin. Now ordinary silk, cotton or
wooden underwear soaked in per
spiration even though it is not Wis
ible, becomes a non-conductor- of
air and the process of elimination
is at once interfered with.
r. The habit of the average person
who washes his face frequently but
less frequently cleanses the rest of
his body should, from a hygenic
standpoint reverse the procedure.
Parts of the body which are cover
ed should be kept cleaner than
parts exposed to. the air. For the
latter have the advantage of the
airs sweetening properties as air
acts like bath and purifies the
skin amazingly.
II we wore no clothes our bodies
would be kept quite clean by gevap-
grafton, but the habits of civilization
carry with them certain obligations.
Anything less than a daily bath is
unsanitary even IL we did not con-
slider the necessity from an esthetic
view.
When the children are four or
FIVE years old it is time to teach
them why they are bathed and why
underwear although apparently
clean must be changed each day.

Please take one end of this vine
ladder up In the tree and fasten 1t
near Bobby Cheer-Up's house"
so Jacko and Jumpo did this, and
soon there was a fine ladder. easy
10 climb reaching from the ground
up TO the robins nest. And Mr.. and
Mrs. Cheer-Up, with the help of
their children, including Bobby, had
made large platform. like the one
where you dance at a picnic in the
woods, all about the nest, with a
railing around so no one would fall
off
Now, we'll haye some fun"
chirped Bobby, and he whistled and
called to all his friends to come
and see him, for now they could
get up to his nest house in the tree,
something they could not do before.
Then they came-Sammie and Su-
sic Littletail, the rabbits; Jackie and
Peetie Bow Wow, the dogs; Lulu,
Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble,. the
ducks; Jollie and Jillie Longtail,
the mice. and Squeakie- Eekie, the
cousin mouse. OF course, Dickie
and Nellie Chip Chip, the sparrows,
had no trouble getting to Bobby's
house, for the sparrows were birds
like robin, only not so large. And
Johnnie and Billie Bushytsil, the
squirrels, could climb a tree with
out a ladder.
Now well have some jolly fun
chirped Bobby. I'VE can play tag
and jump over each others backs,
and then we'll eat some cherry pie"
So the animal children had lots
OF fun on the platform around the
nest house in the tree, and none Of
them fell off. Uncle Wiggily was
there, too.
All of a sudden, just when Susie
Littletail was tagging Squeakie-
Eekie, the cousin mouse, Jackie
Bow Wow looked down to the
ground and cried:
"Oh, look at the bad Gazoopie!
