gave up in despair and went to the
country for four weeks.
In the Hobbies of the courthouse

by his lawyers, met Madame Bes-

Judge BONN, concerning the disap-

DEW HAS VITALIzING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That It Possesses In

Dew is vitaliZing, not entirely be-
cause it is water but because 1t pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
ly at any rate to the fact that ii Is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during its formation per-
oxide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality that marks the early-morn-
ing air has its origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under a tree in full leaf is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing
constituents Of the soil or that ii keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects it from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any of these explanations Is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the yitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under a tree,
whereas ms a rule both rain and light
can reach it,

other day when her neighbor, whose
son was in France for several months.

revealed her flower pots, decorated in
red, white and blue paper. Mrs. Elan
nigan was visibly troubled She wor-
ried and worried. 1t is quite hard to
be loyal to two countries at the same
time, yet Mrs. Flanagan desired to
be so.
Then one morning her wide Irish
smile came back to her face. And
passers-by saw in the Flanagan front
window row of flower pots brave in
red, white and blue coverings and ev-
cry covering was tied to the pot with
wide band of green ribbon.
