1LONA PUZZLES OVER
 SCULPTURE"

IIona pondered over this remark of her sisters for a long time. It was hard for her to realize that Tru- da had been serious in what she said. What sort of people were these people of hers, after all, if they said one thing, and meant another? Hadn't Truda, herself asked her to come in and meet MT. Warburton one night? Hadn't she seemed anxious to have her meet many other of her friends. besides? Why then should she de- nounce her so bitterly. for being what she considered merely aniable to one Of them? What sort of girls were these so called cultured ones in Wellington? If Stella were jealous, o1. rude or wi1d-c ca ttish in her behav- for she at least was not supposed to be anything else. She had had no training, was one of the 'uncivihzer' members of the earth. How more than strange then to find the same conditions existing in this super-civ- i1ized community, as had existed in the gypsy camp. Her own sister was warburton, as Stella had been be- cause of poor Miguel. There wasn't so much in favor of this great, white civilization, after all. It was quite easy to scrape off the light coat of ve
 neer, which hid the true nature of the world and how thin that veneer was. Ilona was rapidly discovering.
 Funny that she should always be getting in the way of other girls lovers. Especially as she did not buy

any means even make the advances. In speaking about these things with her mother nona took care not to show her own feelings on the matter to strongly. She knew that if she did So Mrs. Cameron would shut up like e. clam, say little or nothing. Or else merely tell her not to mind what Truda said, or put her off in some such way rather than hurt her by ex- blaming that what she did as 8 rule was all wrong.
 It seemed almost impossible for H. ona, to convince her mother that the truth, no matter how much it hurt one, was preferable to doctored dis courses on "why is a lady and how" as she had named the upheaval in her life.
 Mrs. Cameron believed in peace at any price, in the home. She never seemed to realize that not opening IIona's eyes at times, led to far more painful moments for the girl. than if she had done so. Truda invariably stood ready to make things clear to her new sister no matter how much her way of conveying the truth to her might hurt.
 At the end of her first month at home Ilona found herself heartily dis illusioned as far as many things were strength of her soul that she might have been born a pure gypsy. Their inbred honesty was what she was learning to love more and more, as she fingered with the cultured of the earth.

OHUGS AND TURKISH BATHS AND
 STRONG STOMACHS

There is only one right way to re- duce weight and that is to go on d o1e1, which will supply the essential needs of the body for repair and nor mai functioning, and at the same time call on the excess fat to supply a large part of the energy needs. This with increased physical activities (And by the way, housework and gardening and other useful work are good exercises.) This, I repeat, is the only way to reduce without danger to your health.
 Drugs are extremely dangerous un- less you are under the supervision of a scientifically trained physician from high standard college (not a. dipIo- ma mill. I am not in private prac- tice. Sofry!)
 There are very few who need drugs Pedhaps one in thousand, and am sure you are not that one. Your fat is due solely to successive and repeat ed exposures to candy, pie, cake, nuts, fat meat, bread and butter, and lack of exercise to use it up. Nest ce pas?
 And you thought food had nothing to do with it, for you were not eating potatoes. Am I right?
 Turkish baths are good cleansing treats occasionally, but are not to be recommended for reducing.
 There is no such animal as inherit ed at. so don't ease yourself b y that faHacy. We may inherit weak wills and strong stomachs, but not fat. Strong stomachs. That is it.
 We can digest and assimilate every thing that comes our way, and it is primarily an indication of health. When Nature does that little thing and uses the foods for the needs of the body, she does the only thing she knows what to do with the exceSs- mat ds to convert it to fat. She tucks 1t around in every nick and cranny in the body, thinking Gosh, G, this bird must be going to hybernate, or go through a famine, or sompthin!
 But when she finds that you are

THE JENNA SHAMPOO

Almost every week it seems to me 9 new variety of henna shampoo comes on the market. They all claim to make the hair fluffy. glossy, abund- ant and beautiful. They vary in price from 10c for an envelope to soc for a fancy glass box, and I have no doubt that the most fashionable beauty par 1ors charge even more. All these shampoos are very good, for all are made of exactly the same thing You if you wish, can make yourself enough for half a dozen shampoos of the most generous variety for soc or less
 Purchase one ounce of powdered Egyptian henna and three ounces of powdered castle soap and mix these together. For each shampoo take as much as a large kitchen tablespoon will hold heaped to overf1owing. Mix this powder with a pint of hot water as hot as you can possibly stand it. Lather this over the head while the hair is dry and let it stay on from 10 to 5 minutes.
 It will be much better if the scalp have been previously rubbed with oil The henra shampoo is somewhat dry ing though not fnarmfully so, and has the great virtue of cutting through the dirt and grease which collects on the scalp. Ordinarily it takes three or four vigorous soapings to remove all the grease from hair that has been previously oiled. But the henna shampoo does this gently and effec- lively while, at the same time, it gives the hair a gloss and a richness that no other shampoo imparts-
 It should be given four to six rins- Iings with hot and then cold water It does not change the color of the hair It merely gives ii 1ustre and richness. B. NJ F.:-The only way to have

afford it. but we are poor people and it is all we can do to provide for our own children. I have told my hus- band this, but he says he is the near est relative she has in the world and it is his duty to take her. There are aunts and uncles who are not as poor as we are. Don't you think it would be better if one of them would take her? WORRIED.
 Now that your husbands sister is left an orphan it is his duty to take her. Some way or other you can stretch your small income so that it will provide for one more. Although it will be hard to do so, take the right attitude. Try to love the little girl hard enough without being made to feel that she is not wanted. Ina zine one of your own children left as she has been left.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I as 16 years old and am going to make my first call on a girl My mother says that I should take leave not later than 10 o'clock. But the fellows say that boys of today stay as long as they. want to and the girl would think I was crazq to go hobe at 10 o'clock Which is correct? JOHN G.
 Your mother is correct. The girl and her parents will think more Of you if you do not stay later than 10 o'clock.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am to be married this June, My brother has promised us S1OO for wedding pres ent and we don't know whether to buy sterling silver with it, or dishes, pictures and several things like that What would you advise us to buy?
 IN DOUBT
 I approve of your idea of buying sterling silver. It will last all through your married life and will be good as long as you have it. Dishes break. and pictures should be accumulated gradually.

 W. E. Dunn. Jr.. secretary of the Southern Metal Trades Association, offers to head a subscription list with S10 for a fund to be raised by popu- lar subscription to rid the business section of what he calls the nuisance of foreigners who grind out music with monkey assistance"
 In a letter to the chief of police he says if children enjoy the monkeys it would be better to take the mon keys to the children in the residen- t;al sections than to have the chil- dren brought to the monkeys in the business section to the worry of their elders.

To Make Furniture Stand Up

Take small slip of stiff paper and paste one end on the back of the furniture and bend the loose end our slightly so the article will stand.
 A good way to make a stand or ta- ble of the blocks and the way to make the lamp stand on it: Take two blocks or dominoes and stand on the long edge and place two more dominoes over the top of the others to cover them. Cut out a colored stand spread of paper and cut a slit in the center just large enough for the base of the lamp to slip through, then slip it between the two dominoes that cover the standing ones. This works well.

Important If True

It is not all bad news that comes out of Europe. pr. A. Conan Doyle, the celebrated investigator, brings us the tidings that there is no hell.
 It is not going to be so difficult to get into heaven some of have feared. A lot of us will go there who do not expect to. All of which came under the general head of optimism.
 Optimism seems a. bit out of place just now, but we must isen to it whether we want to or not.
 But Dr. Doyle has raised a com plicated situation
 He says he knows there is no hell He can prove 1t Yet there is a re- vfvalist who says we are going there
 Now if we do go, just to please the revivaiist and find that there isn't any sucuh place, it is going to be a joke on somebody.
 We don't know whether the joke will be on Dr. Doyle. the revfytalist or ourselves

F. C. Torrey, eight years a
member of the common coun-
Gil of the city of Flint, and
well known through out the
county, was a pleasant caller at The
Messenger office, the first of the
week. He is candidate for the
Republican nomination for sheriff.
John Buckley, for fifteen years a
patrolman and sergeant of the Flint
police force. of which he is still
member, was a welcome caller at The
Messenger sanctum this week. Mr..
Buckley is very highly regarded by
all who know him, we are told. He
is q candidate for nomination as
sheriff on the Republican ticket.
The Messenger editor has been
favored by Ralph Knickerbocker with
a gift of lovely cherries. The cherry
trees are several years old, Ralph
says, and that this year is the first
in which they have borne fruit in
any quantity, being the result of
spraying. They also sprayed their
apple orchard on the Knickerbocker
farm, with very encouraging results.
w. ID. White and wife, of Hart
land, were guests of Clio friends on
the Glass Day exercises. Mr.. White
is superintendent of the Hartland
Consolidated Schools, one of the fin
est rural schools in the state, and is
borne in grateful remembrance by
the people of Clio for his good work
as superintendent of the schools here.

iously injured.
Clio has every reason to be proud
of the fine Auditorium in the village,
the equal of which is possessed by
but few villages of similar size in the
entire state, but there is one feature
that is badly needed to make the room
of the highest availability and that
is some system of ventilation. This,
we hope, may be supplied in the near
future, as it will add not only to the
comfort, but to the healthfulness of
the room.

Presenting a picture of Michigan's
agricultural and industrial greatness.
the Seventy-third annual Michigan
State Fair, which opens In Detroit,
September 1, and runs 10 days, will
break all records for attendance. Is
the prediction OF George w. Dickin.
son, secretary-manager who has been
the directing head for the past 10
years.
Scores OF requests to the State Fair
Offices from prospective exhibitors
concerning the approaching exposi-
ton are indicative this years exhi-
billions will be wider In range and OF
greater educational values, believes
Mr.. Dickinson.
Enthusiastic beyond expression
about the outlook, Mr.. Dickinson
says, Fairs of today are fast becom-
ing matters of great Importance to
all. No longer are they considered of
local or state Importance, but they
are rapidly being recognized as ma
tional schools.
1.-THE Michigan State Fair has been
recognized as an educational force by
the railroads. They are cooperating
to bring the people to Detroit for
Today practical schooling, worth
many dollars to the spectator.
County, state and the national
governments have recognized 1t and,
all will be represented with worthy
exhibitions OF farm products of mod
ern agriculture.
Everyone is beginning to recog
nize the value in the Michigan State
Fair as a community gathering. 1t
affords an opportunity for the farmer
to see the manufacturers product in
actual operation before he purchases
and, It gives the farmer an oppor-
tunity to present his product Of the
soil which he hopes to sell at rea
sonable price above the cost Of pro-
duction
years of experience in building a
fair which will mirror the Industrial
and rural life of Michigan have taught
us that entertainment is a necessary
division of the fair. SO, we are pre-
senting, each year, more whole
some and clean type OF entertain
ment.
"The fair OF 10 years ago would not
be tolerated today. The exhibitions.
the entertainment and everything
connected with Il would be hooted as
terrible and would not be accepted
by those who are In the market OF
life to get full value. Public senti-
ment has demanded n better fair,
and. a far better fair than ever be-
fore will be the Michigan exposition
this year.
