REMEMBER IN HOT WEATHER.

1t is a wholesome point OF view TO take
in warm weather that no matter how OPP
pressed from the heat you may feel, you
are probably not a bit more oppressed
than anv one else The minute you con-
vince yourself that YOU feel the heat es-
peciallv. and that YOU are really not htted
to withstand warm weather, then you hnd
new and increased difficulties IN getting
done the things that you have TO do.
Remember, too, that work does not
make YOU warmer In hot weather. In
fact YOU feel the heat more when you are
idle. 1t always happens that those who
have nothing to do in warm weather
talk and complain about it more than
those who have their thoughts taken up
with the work they are doing. To be sure
very active work in heating and enervat-
ing in very warm weather, but the work
of the average housewife is not OF thus sort.
Rear in mind. too, that the way We eat
has a good deal TO do with the way we
feel the heat You viii be rs unprepared to
fight hot weather on a diet consisting OF
nothing but salads, green vegetables and
ices. as YOU would on diet consisting OF
many heavy meat and pastry dishes -
that is. either method is absurd. We may
need less heating food, but if we are gong
to work actively we need to have our bodies
nourished and many case OF heat pros
tration has been due largely to the fact
that the one suffering from it had not suf-
ficient and appropriate nourlshment.
We undoubtedly should sleep more in
warm weather than in cold weather
That is we actually need more. Ideally we
should take brief siesta during the heat
of the day, but if this is impossible the
next best thing is actually to go TO bed
earlier.

Now Just as they got there Tommy
gave the string a little pull and hugo

and Tommy wondered if he would ever
catch him and not knowing what would

foot Of the hill had not caught the run

down. :,
"You have n very fine runner, son.

string to Tommy, land ! should advise

Tommy thanked the kind gentleman
and took a good, firm hold on the string
and trudged up the hill.
But Hugo-Horse was not so ANXIOUS
to run IN hill as he was to run down,
and Tommy took him home without
any trouble.
That night in the playroom Hugo
Horse told the toys Of his adventure,
''and if it had not been for the gentlman

But where would you have stayed when

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it
entirely To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips
Do this tonight, and by morning, most
if not all, of your dandruff will be gone,
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will iind,' too, that all itching and
digging Of the scalp viii stop at once, and
your hair will be fluffy, lmstrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel hundred
times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails to
do the work.

war disastrously upset the equilibrium
OF the sexes. =.
There are, therefore, vast number OIL
women whom Fate has debarred from
following the usual occupation OF their
scx-wiichood and motherhood. 1hey
cannot hope To marry and thus ind WORK
for their hands in making home and an
outlet for their emotions and aspirations
and energies in rearing family.
Neither can they look TO any man to
slpport them, for when the oak is feiled
the clinging vine goes down with 1T and
must perish, or else fined somehow the
strength 10 stand alone. Its days OF para
site are over in world In which there Is
nothing left for it TO lasten upon.
So the question of what these women are
20 do 10 keep from being danger to
themselves and society Is very real one;
For they are young. They have not hved
their lives, and are not ready TO meekly
accept the drab existence OF the old malo
who retIres TO the Spinsters Retreat, or
become an annex to somebody else
family, and fills in her days with sweetiy
romantic musings on what might nave
been, and dreams OF the goiden-haireu
children she never had.
No. These young women are full OF pep
and energy. They want the best that lie
can give them, and if life has taken away
from them the chance OF husband ana
home and child it must offer some sub
stitute, some spiritual and mental and
physical escape valve. OTHERWISE the
pent volumes of feminine unrest and
energy will become as much of menace
TO the country as a damned mill race In
food time.
And the problem is how to find this
outlet.

only in work. That is the one panacea
for grief for disappointment and bhghted
hopes. for the longing that eats the heart
out in unavailing regrets. That IS the
one thing that makes the individual lfe

FARMER K|NKA|D
GAINED 70 POUNDS
Hacking Cough, catarr+1 and Dyspep-
sia Overcome by Tanlac,
He States.

David A. Rinkaid, well-known far
mer living out on R. F. d. 1. from
Clinton, Iowa, called at Johns drug
store in Clinton few days ago and
reported a gain of twenty pounds in
weight by taking Tanlac and related
an experience with the medicine that
will be of interest throughout the
state.
Whenever recommend Tanlac to
my friends now, 1 don't have to tell
them how much it has helped me;
they can see for themselves, said Mr..
kinkaid.
II was in such a bad shape, and
had been for good while, that
could hardly do any work about the
farm. Every time tried to do any
thing would nearly break down and
get so short of breath that I would
have to stop and rest. Why, it SEM
ed to me sometimes that each breath
II took would be my last. l had
continual pain right over my kidneys
and my back would get so stiff and
lame that I had to move around right
slow and easy. Whenever stopped
over / thought my back would break
in two and 1 felt like l would have
to get somebody to help me strafghten
up again.
NY nerves were all on edge and
many a night I was so restless and
worried that l had to get up out of
bed and walk around to get my MIND
off my misery so could get little
sleep. Ny appetite was so near gone
! that I never did feel hungry at all and
hardly cared to ever see meal time
come. 1 lost lot in weight and felt
no account and good-for-nothing all
the time. Then, besides my other
troubles 1 had bad case of catarrh
that gave me a hacking cough and l
had time keeping my throat clear.
"Well, three bottles of Tanlac are all
/ have taken, but from the way they
have fixed me up it looks like they
were made specially to fit my case.

weight and feel so wen that | can't

ter with me at all. ! have a Jim
dandy appetite now and can eat any
thing anbody else can without oelns

"My nerves are as strong as sap
ling and sleep, why, l sleep as sound
as any boy you ever saw. That pam
has left my back and can get around
and stoop over as active as l used to
years ago. The catarrh has all gone
and so has that hacking cough that
worried me so much. l feel as spry
