SOME HARMFUL HABITS
BY Edna Kent Forbes

One woman said once upon a time
that when she considered the number
of dangers that children ran into
every day. she wondered that any of
them ever grew up. 1t is the same
way about good looks. And when
one considers the number of harmful
habits that people acquire, one won
ders that any of them are good look
ing at all.
A very common bad habit is that
of biting off the thread while sewing

and the teeth to come out. Wherever
a tooth has been taken out, the hollow
gum goes in and the face actually

The Housewife of 1921

Now that woman's suffrage is a
reality the American woman must
henceforth be considered not merely
as a housekeeper and home-maker, but
as a voter-a citizen and a force in
this busy work-a-day world. With
added responsibilities, her health
should never be neglected, and when
beset with ailments peculiar to her
sex she owes it to herself to first give
that grand old medicine, Lydia E
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a
trial, as for over forty years it has
been the standby of American women
in restoring them to health and
strength. Acknowledgement

"Let George Do It,"

Everybody agrees that the country is SUI
fering from a great building shortage.
Everybody agrees that there is something
radically wrong somewhere. when the great
need for buildings of all kinds cannot be met,
although there are millions OF men unemployed.
When 1t comes to fixing the blame for this
ridiculous condition Of things. there seems to
be very great difference Of opinion.
Some charge 1t to the high price Of steel;
some to the high prices Of other building ma
terials; others to the high wages demanded by
labor.
Every fellow wants the other fellow to
'liquidate" and is quite sure that II he would
do SO there would be an immediate building
boom.
The employers and material men are be-
ginning to quarrel among themselves as to
which class among them is the greatest prof.
teer.
The steel men have finally turned on the
other material fellows and have given out
some very interesting figures. They show that

Ny BERTON BRALEY.

He had an opinion he wished to express.
moral he longed to apply,
Regarding such follies Of feminine dress
As skirts that were narrow-and high;
And shoes that were tall at the heel.
He didn't approve Of such feminine geer-
fact he was quick to reveal!
He jeered womens fashions as silly and vain,
/ Unhealthy, immodest and wrong
An attitude which he seemed bound to explain
At length and in full to the throng.
"The clothing which women are wearing" he
cried,
WAS certainly made and designed
To show that there's nothing but nonsense in
side,
The average feminine mind"
And while he discoursed in this eloquent way,
He freely and fully prespred,
Because in the heat of midsummer day,
His body was fifty attired
In thick wooden suit and ard-bosomed
shirt
And a collar as stiff as slat,
With his feet in some pointed-toed brogans

tion that have been uttered BY the leading
newspapers Of the state and the Representa-

Furthermore apart from the sense OF per-

what It means In actual saving to litigants Of
the entire community and adjoining counties
to have Rock Island the home Of member of
the higher court?
The cost Of carrying cases to the supreme
court Is no small amount, not the least item Of

@. What IL the meteoritic era
ter? G. A. B.
A. In Arizona, not far from Wins
low, there is a great hole in the
earth. hundreds of feet deep and
having almost perpendicular sides,
which is known by this name be-
cause scientists believe it was made
by a meteorite striking the earth
and burying itself there. This by
pothesis is supported by the fact
that such meteoritic material is
found scattered about the vicinity.
It is quite rich in platinum, and a
company has been formed to drill
at the bottom of the hole for the
meteorite itself in order to obtain
platinum.
Q. Is it true that the famous
French novelist, lola, cured himself
OF obesity by not drinking water?
A. vizetelly. the biographer OF
lola, records that lola was very
fat and that he reduced himself to
positive emaciation BY drinking NO
liquid with his meals. eating very
little bread, and drinking as little
as possible at any time.
