"The Return OF the Lions"

All day long Nancy. Nick and
Flippety Flap, assisted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Lion, taught Lumpy and Lulu
how to do circus tricks. The lion
babies soon found that it was not
only easy % balance themselves on
the ends of a see-saw, but great fun
as we'll, and after they had learned,
1t was hard work to keep them off.
Next they tried the great red
and white ball. Lumpy got on first
and almost fell on his nose He
hadn't learned the trick of keeping
his four paddy-feet from slipping
off the top.
Climbing the ladder and down you
know how; and jumping through a
hoop! Why. there was nothing TO
it, really. It was more fun still when
white paper was pasted over and you
went through with a beautiful tear
Ing sound.
Mrs. Lion was s 70 proud of her
children that she almost got neu-
ralgia from smiling. "Oh, if there
was only a crowd to applaud" she
kept saying over and over. IT wish
the whole world could see what
smart children we have. Leo"
Mr.. Lion switched his tail and
looked thoughtful.

London women. many of whom

found a garment of both smartness
and comfort in the shirt-blouse. The
newest of these are extremely taste
full showing a tendency toward the
extension of the neat roll collar into
two streamer ends which. tied in a
loose knot in front, give a delightful
finish. Often this combined collar
and tie are of contrasting colors.

How To Keep
Yourself Well

In treating cases of poisoning
from drugs, we should try. first, TO
get rid of the poison; second, to adj
minister an antidote: third. to re-
lieve such symptoms as may appear.
To get rid of the poison make the
patient vomit freely. Tickling the
throat is a simple method. \ table
spoonful of strip of ipecac Is excel
lent.
In poisoning by ACIDS, after
vomiting has been induced, give a,
little ammonia diluted with water,
or give soap, lime chalk. w~hitewash.

alkali.
In poisoning by ARSENIC Cfound

duced, give milk, raw eggs or castor
oil and stimulants.
In poisoning from BICHLORIDE
OF MERCURY, after vomiting has
been induced. give raw eggs and
milk, castor oil, etc. Stimulate the
patient.
In poisoning by OPIUM, LAUDA-
MUM, MORPHINE OR PAREGOR-
&c (found in many soothing sirups
and cough mixtures), give hot,
strong coffee. or tea. Keep the pa
tent awake, walking him around
the room. If necessary, use artificial

and instruct the messenger to tell
the doctor what is wrong. If posi-

HOROSCOPE
The stars inclln u do not compel"


Friday, April s, 1921
Copyright. 1921. by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate)
Good and evil influences contend
today, according to astrology. While
the Sun and Jupiter are in benefic
aspect, Saturn and Uranus are ad-
verse.
1t is a day in which to avoid all
business Initiative. for Jupiter ap-
pears to promise much and then to
change to sinister aspect.
All who depend on the favor or
support of men high in public office
or on those who WELD financial
power should make the most of to-
day.
This should be a favorable time
to seek promotion or to obtain en-
ployment that is congenial.
The New Moon of this date is read
as foreshadowing many grave prob
lens for the United States.
Mercury, in the tenth house, OPP
posed to Saturn. threatens scandals
in high places.
Heavy drains on the national f.
nances again are presaged by the
stars.
The position Of Neptune in the
third house in square to Mars and
Venus denotes railway troubles, agi-
tation among workers and danger of
strikes.
This is not a lucky sway for real
estate operations, although the re-
mainder of the month should be ex-
ceedingly favorable.
This is a lucky rule for theatres
and the seers predict great success
for stock companies.
Sensational exposures of graft and
waste in public moneys are foretold
at this time.
Uranus is still in a place making
for intensely critical points of view.
The new administration may expect
to be severely scrutinized while the
stars are posted as they are today.
The annual eclipse of the Sun to-
day is believed to indicate imprison-
ment or other misfortune to a king.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury Of unusual chances to
make money during the coming
year.
Children born on this day have
the forecast of good fortune all
through life. These subjects of
Aries are always successful in taking
chances.

SEASON HERE TO PUT UP EGGS

hE4ftE III fCI VI EOUS
Time for Mrs. Housewife to get a
quart of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. sodium
silicate)-and start a f~ive-gallon jar
of egg ~preservative.
Low egg quotations mean a good
season to put a few dozens "in
storage"
A five-gallon jar will permit a
sufficient storage of eggs for a small
family. In larger families the ratio
of one quart of waterglass to five
gallons of water may be adopted to
enlarge the storage facilities.
Waterglass is just what the name
implies solution of glass. 1t forms
a thin coating over the egg, which
keeps the air from penetrating the
pores in the shell. Eggs have been
known to keep in this solution for
several years.
The mixture should be thick
enough to feel Shiny between the
fingers.

BUSINESS ETHICS.

One Of the causes that has contribut-

been the all too prevalent habit of
business houses cancelling orders that
had been placed earlier in the season
because Of the decline in prices. This
has notably. weakened our foreign
trade. Millions of dollars of
products have been shipped
from this country to South
America and are now in storage and
on wharves unpaid for because the
