EXPLAIN SOME EXPRESSIONS
Few Persons Know Real Meaning Of
the Words They Are Max
Ing Use OF.

There are many expressions made
use of by persons every day who little
know the real meaning Of the words
they are making use Of. Why, for
instance, does A 1 mean first rateT
and why does 'first rate" mean some
thing Of the highest degree of ex-
cellence? A is derived from the SYM
Dol denoting ships In the best condi-
ton in "Lloyd's Registry of Shipping"
and first rate" Is. an allusion to
warship of the highest class. To have
an axe to grind is from the American
backwoodsmen's practice of calling at
houses ostensibly to grind an axe, but
In reality to obtain a drink. Bogus:
From Borghese, swindler who about
1897 in Boston passed worthless Sc
curities. To take the cake: Allusion to
the prize of cake In negro cake
walking contests. The deuce: From
the German "das daus." Possibly con-
nected with the Celtic "dus," wood
demon. To mind ones P's and Q's: A
reference to the pints and quarts
chalked up In country public houses
against credit customers.

HOW TO TEND" BABY WHILE
YOUR WIFE TAKES A NAP
a. $. KYLE, JR.,
Substituted Trustee.
lBy Earl HID

A lady asked me to write on the
above subject and while, as a rule, on
account OF the wide circulation of nv
articles can not afford to individual
ize, have thought this subject might
be Of general interest enough to be
worthy of my consideration. We
doubt very much our ability to help
her husband any, as he is too far
gone, but there might be some more
unsophisticated husband that we
might be able to help in his fight for
life and freedom.
To begin with, Sabbath afternoon,
when it is warm and still and you
feel wide awake, is a good time to
try out your skill in tending"
babies. As a rule, all babies like to
be tended more or less, the most
of them more, As your wife goes off
to take her nap be sure that she does
not lock the door behind her, for you
will find that your courage is greatly
strengthened by having your wife ac-
cessible at all times while your are
tending the baby. 1t does not make
much difference how wide awake you
were when YOU took charge Of the
baby you will not likely be any less
awake after you stay with the baby
a while.
After your wife has been asleep
about two minutes it is best to call
her and ask where you can find gar
ment suitable for making a change
on the baby. Perhaps with the help
of the other children you might pos.
sibly be able to find something that
looks suitable. This garment you
spread out on your lap and spread

NONRESIDENT NOTICE

Ia the County Court Of Upton Coun-

Term-Audrey Craig vs.. Guy Craig.
IN this cause, it appearing to the
Court from the bill Of complainant,
which is sworn to, that the defendant,
Guy Craig, is a nonresident of the
State Of Tennessee, and is believed to
be a resident Of the State of Arkan-
sas, it is ordered by the Court that
the said defendant, Guy Craig, appear
before the Judge of the County Court
of Upton County, Tennessee, at his
office in the courthouse in Covington,
Tennessee, on or before the first Mon
day in September, 1922, the same be.
ing fourth day of September, 1922,
and the first day Of the September
1922, term of said Court, and make
defense to the bill for divorce filed
herein against him, or the allegations
of said bill will be taken for con-
fessed and the cause set for hearing
ex parte as to him.
1t is further ordered that copy
of this order be published for four
consecutive weeks in the Covington

the baby out on top Of said garment
However, babies do not stay spread,
and It is really best to take good
strong Irvine or a rope and connect
the baby's head with one Of your legs
and then tie a brick ta each of baby's
feet. Sometimes you can find one of
the other children to ride down on his
legs. Even with this arrangement,
it will probably be necessary To re-
s0read the baby several times. In
the meantime the garment is likely
to become unspread In this case
you can lust begin all over again.
You will probably wonder how your
wife sleeps so peacefully while there
is SO much noise going on right near
her If you stop to think about 1t,
you will probably feel right pround
Of your wife's husband, considering
how good you are to her and how
much responsibility you are able to
take off her in the raising of the chill
dren.
Very likely by the time you get the
above mentioned garment lust about
right to fasten on the baby you will
discover that it has become insult
able for use and it will be necessary
to call your wife out Of her deep sleep
to inform you where to find another
garment.
If you can explain to your wife IL
is really better that she be walked up
quite often, as she has the pleasure
Of going to sleep so many times.
Cal her again when you find out that
you can not get the ~arment on the
baby at all and you will then have
the satisfaction of turning the baby
over to its mother. The expression
on the baby's face well pays you for
all the trouble you have undergone.
You can then 90 off in the other
room, lock the door and lie down and
take good nap with clear con-
science. You have done your duty,
your wife has a good rest Of five or
10 minutes and you have sweet
dreams as you think Of what a great
benefactor you are to the world in
general and to your wife and baby
in particular

Now in this set are five exception

ed form and they will cost you but

to send for them at once. They will
benefit you a thousand other ways,

they are-youth preservers-which

H. A. A.: Try this salt treatment
for oily hair: Take a basin of water
(rain water, II you have it; II
not any kind) and put into
it enough salt to make it
quite briny. Take a cloth, dip
it into the salt water, and rub 1t
well into the hair all around the
edge. Then massage 1t well into
the scalp with the fingers. Then
part the hair. and with a wet cloth
rub the salt water wei into the
entire scalp and massage as before.
Allow the salt to stay on the scalp
about half an hour. Wash the hair
and scalp thoroughly with warm
water and soap. Wash in several
waters or until all the salt Is out
of the hair. Do this every ten days
or two weeks. After three or four
applications. the treatment usually
proves successful. You may use
the salt brine as above. without fol-
lowing by an immediate shampoo.
Let the salt stay on all night and in
the morning brush out every parti-
Gle with a good. vigorous brush
ing. This is particularly good in
cases of oily hair. Repeat two or
three nights before shampooing.
