The blood is more important than
any of the organs. It is thru the
blood that the whole human body is
directly or indirectly nourished. The
blood gets its nollrishment from the
intestines. The intcstines also con-
tain waste products = urcigested
foods, acids, gases and refuse, which
sometimes get in the blood.
When waste products get in the
blood, nature will strive to cast then?
out. If your resistance is strong
enough. nature will probably succeed.
But if you are ''below par" weak,
rundown, and nervous, nature Will
begin to show signs of distress.
As a result, you will have that
feeling Of fatigue. You will lack the
energy you need for the days duties
and pleasure. Minor ailments will
begin to affect you-pimples, black
heads, and boils.
If the waste products are not gotten
out of the blood at this point, it IS
possible more serious skin eruption
on disease will begin to show Itself.

hated to have his ears pulled. Yet
there was only one offense that ever
made him growl. When Johnnie
Green took a bone away from him,
Spot couldn't help warning him, with
a deep, rumbling, grumbling, that he
was going too far even between friends.
But he never snapped at Johnnie.
That growing was only Spots way
of teaching yphnnie Green manners.
Fond as he was of his young mas
ter, Spot did not care to spend all
his time playing childish games.
There were grown-up things that he
liked to do-things in which todd
Ter like Johnnie Green couldn't take
part. Around the farmhouse there
were always the cat to be leased and
squirrels to be chased into trees. In
the pasture there were woodchucks
to be hunted; and even if he couldn't
catch them it was fun to see those fat
fellows tumble into their holes.
Then there were the cows. Spot
loved to help Farmer Green drive
them home late in the afternoon. He
acted very important when he went
for the cows, always pretending that
it was hard work, though he really
thought it great sport.

turned.
Night before last two knives, val
ued at $40, were left on Mr.. Lappan's

made knife of special design, and was
imported for a. particular purpose.
Both knives were missing the next
morning. Suspicion again pointed to

zemska was called into the office and
questioned. He confessed to taking
the knives, but said he had worked
there so long he did not think he was
stealing when he took them, and did
not expect to get arrested. The
knives were found wrapped in a vel
vet bag in a baby carriage at his
home.
Sterzemska was arrested and taken
to the police station where a formal
charge of theft was preferred agains:
him. This morning he was given a
nearing before Deputy Judge B. w.
Ailing. He admitted, taking the
knives and repeated his assertion that
he did not think he was stealing and
did not think, if he took the knives for
his own use, that he could be prose-
cuted. Sergeant Richardson testified
that there have been a number OF
complaints of petty thefts from local
factories recently.
The fact that Sterzemska has d

STRAIGHT SKIRTS STILL GOOD FOR FALL
BY MARIAN HALE

New York, Aug. Awhile there are
grounds for suspicion that the long and
voluminous skirts, hour-glass figures
and other extreme Paris fashions are
casting their shadows before them, the
silhouettes of two new Franklin Simon
imports for fall and winter will remove
danger of an imm ediate invasion.
One of the smartest of these French
suits is of navy blue Moussyne, the
new wool fabric. The coat shows the
new flare box effect. This interesting
feature is made by the use of pleats
flaring from the shoulders which give
a graceful swing to the coat. Bands of
moleskin edge the bottom of the coat
and the sleeves and form the high
choker collar. The skirt-all reports
to the contrary-on this brand new
model is straight.
An enveloping wrap in every sense Of
the word is the gray novelty wool, with
its deep band of slinx finishing the cir
cular flare of the coat. Above the
slinx is a band OF embroidery.
The coat, longer in the back than in
front, falls over a straight-lined skirt.
The envelope idea is most originally
brought out in the sleeve, which is
edged with slinx. The choker collar is
of the same fur. Fur seems to fly to
these imported models.
