grumbled. She's just edging toward
a tantrum. l can see it coming I'll
put in nice two-three days here If
she goes into one of her tantrums!"
Nan laughed lightly.
She won't, Susy. don't worry. She'll
sulk bit. but she'll sleep it off, so
don't worry
Mrs. Blaisdell was quite right.
Merriam did not "tantrum." But she
did make her big John vastly uncom-
Portable in the hour in which he and
Susan Sue packed his necessities.
At the end he almost weakened and
stayed home. For he honestly adored
his wee wife, even in her unfair mo-
ments, and he was secretly delighted
that she so much wanted him to stay.
But the sound Of the motor and the
sight of the two rollicking boys and
their father in camping regalia made
him pick up his bags. He kissed
his pouting lady love goodbye.
"Be a good girl"f he admonished
uxoriously.
Il shan't," she answered petulantly.
You'll jolly well have to be-" he
taunted her.
Il shan't," she persisted. Sudden
mischief cleaned in her brown eyes.
Il shall go to town tomorrow and
get Cecily to dig out some of her
freak beaux and take us to some

He dropped his bags.

tressed. Don't be such a goose"
'I'll do just what I please if you
go off," she breathed stormily.

waved a .perfunctory goodbye. A

ON MISCHIEF BOUND.

Ohm and Merriam Lindsay hadn't
had a really spirited argument
about anything for weeks and
weeks. Indeed, they had been
living in sort of treacherous back
water of unwonted serenity. probably
because their last previous argument
had been SO serious.
But their feelings toward each
other were now Enthusiastically ruff
fed. For John had accepted an in
vitation to go fishing with Thorne
Blaisdell and his sons after Merriam
had let him understand, most dis
tinctly. that she did not want him to
go.
He had a perfect double -barreled
alibi. Merriam knew as we'll as he
did, or better, that it would be the
height of folly for him not to accept
the hospitality of his employer. And
he would not be leaving Merry alone
because Mrs. Blaisdell had extended
a most cordial invitation for Merry
to spend the time as her guest.
But Merriam's "dander' was up.
She simply did not want John to go
Illogical and feminine. with not an
argument in the world. she issued
her ultimatum-he didn't love her if
he wanted to go gallivanting OFF with
old men and schoolboys!
He made the fatal mistake Of at
tempting to argue. She wouldn't
answer him because she couldn't. She
retired In sulks and pretended to be
still asleep when he left the house
in the morning
She was dawdling over much
oeiated breakfast when Mrs. Blais-
dell dropped in on her way to market

lightful elder lady.

Bread Without Yeast.

"Aerated" bread is made by a
method in which the water to be used
with the -four is first charged with
with the flour in specially con-
structed machine. Sometimes q little
fermented barley infusion is put into
the water to aid 1t in absorbing the
gas, to render the gluten more elias
tic and to improve the flavor Of the
bread.
"Sait-rising" bread. Roosevelt's IA
vorite. is made by mixing warm milk
and corn meal into a stiff batter,
which is kept at SO degrees Fahren-
heit until it is thoroughly Sour-tnat
is, fermented throughout: timex
sponge of wheat flour and hot water
in which a little salt has been as
solved is then prepared. This wheat
flour sponge is well kneaded with the
sour batter and set in warm place
for several hours. The leavenins
" hich had begun in the batter is tnus
spread through the dough, which, Wnen
it is baked, makes a light. porous loa.,
very palatable. Indeed, its partisans
claim that it is the only good breao
there is. The sale prevents undesir-
able acid fermentation, and salt-rls
ing bread is therefore peculiarly 1Iee
from acidity. In rural districts IN tne
American southwest, uOtdp1s, to0,
Kansas. this bread is much used. The
process is rather slow and tedious,
but where fresh yeast cannot be reg
ularly obtained it is probably the
best way to make good bread.
Generally speaking, we must ADMIT,
however. that yeast substitutes are
not desirable; they are easily adul-
terated and may be either inefficient
or positively harmful in conse-
auence; bread made with them IS
usually fiat and tasteless. Good, fresh
proper temperature and properly
mixed in the dough Is at least half
the battle in good bread making.

When You Don't Feel Up to It.

There may be rare souls who really
and truly like to hoe potatoes. weed
onions, bathe, bake or sew, but they
be strange anomalies. When not
canting for the moral edification of
the younger generation. most of us
have as little love for work as we
have respect for what the copy books
used to can honest labor. The uni
versal game is to get along with the
least possible amount of work. The
popular way Of playing the game is
by dignifying ones play or game by
referring to it casually as my work"

been scrubbing the floor or washing
the windows. though actually they
have been just puttering at the books.
bled with that tired feeling as the
fellow who won't work. There is
precious little difference between the
tired business man and the genuine
hobo. I mean as to what ails the fell
low. The hobo fairly and squarely
repudiates all work in all its ways
and forms; the tired business man
tries to jolly himself that his favor
lite game is work.
There is no time when we who live
without work SO sorely; need work as
at the very moment when we feel too
tired to undertake the slightest ex-
ertion. The most serious mistake we
make about this is the misinterpreta-
ton OF our own sensations. When a
sedentary man or woman feels just
tagged out and worn and weary at
the end of a days play and yearns
nightly to sink into q soft chair or
even to retire too early to bed, then
Is the time when some real muscu-
lar work will do the most good. All,
but it takes determination and will
power and faith in the restorative
work at such a time? The universal
impulse and practice Is to chuck 1t
and go on with the deadly sitting.
Don't I know? No one hates work
more than do, yet fancy few nom
workers derive more benefit fOm
I do.
The notion that exercise must be
made attractive and enjoyable, as in
such games as tennis, pitching horse
or golf. is all right-anything that
will persuade the chronic sitter to use
his muscles. But do not imagine that
because games are good one does not
derive equal benefit from an eQuiva-
lent amount Of muscular activity in
ak on knotty oak unquestionably bet
ters a mans health just as much as
swinging the bat in a game of ball.
The great drawback about playing
games for exercise Is that 1t is
seldom possible for one to get into
a game every day. tits always pos
sib1e to take exercise at home. no
matter what the condition of the
weather or the season or the individ-
ual's time allowance may be.
The sad excuse which too many
otherwise Intelligent folks offer for
neglecting exercise is that they
haven't time. One might with equal
justification go naked and plead moth
ing to wear. The best reason why
little boys neglect to wash behind
their ears is that they haven't time.

The Easiest Way
to End Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff complete
ly. and that is to dissolve it. This
destroys it entirely. To do this,
Just get about four ounces of plain
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most, if not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely
destroy every single sign and
trace of it. no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop
instantly. and your hair will be
fluffy. lustrous. glossy. silky and
soft, and loAS and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need.
This simple remedy has never been
known to fail-Advertisem

box-spring is the highest modern development
in spring making No other sort of spring
compares with it in comfort. Each of the 72
highly tempered spiral coils of the Conscience
Brand box-spring responds to the least move
ment of the body. Not the uncomfortable
hammock sag of the link or woven wire spring.
But the s.give' is where the weight strikes.
The body gets natural rest, the spring con-
forming to the body.
A box-spring is the most sanitary spring.
It makes housekeeping easier. Neither dust
nor vernin can make their way through the
attractive, durable tick which encases the
spring.
The great sunlight plant of the Interna-
tional Bedding Company, where these box
springs are made, is also the home of Con-
science Brand mattresses and pillows. The
reputation of the company for clean, new, high
grade material and conscientious workmanship
is by-word among dealers.
There can be no more ideal, comfortable,
bng-wearing combination than a Conscience
Brand spring beneath a Conscience Brand
mattress. Furthermore, you know that the
Conscience Brand mattress is built of depend
able new, clean, sanitary materials (cotton-felt,
kapoc or hair). Both the mattress and the
box-spring are the best that can be built.
You spend one-third of your life in sleep.
Why shouldn't your beds at home be as COM
Portable as the finest hotel bed? Ask your
dealer to show you Conscience Brand box
spring together with Conscience Brand mat
tress. You can sleep in supreme comfort
tonight if you make sure to ask for Conscience
Brand.

The General Strike Threat.

Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation of Labor, in his
statement regarding the injunction is
sued yesterday in Chicago against the
rail strikers. forbidding them to inter
fere in any way with the operation of
the train service, hints at a general
strike as labor's answer to the gov
made for the excitement of the occa-
sion. for the. injunction is anathema
to Mr.. Gompers, and he always uses
strong language when it is mentioned,
and especially when one is issued
against labor lawlessness. But it is
quite definitely stated that at the next
meeting Of the executive council OF
the American Federation of Labor he
will lay before that body certain pro-
posals and requests for the calling Of
a general strike throughout the United
States.
Talk of a general strike has been
heard before, and has never reached
the point of action, A general strike
would be in the nature of revolu-
ton. an attempt by a complete stop
page of all work to force the govern
ment to adopt policy favorable to
organized labor. II is exceedingly
doubtful whether such a disturbance
of industrial conditions could be
brought about, under any conceivable

Possibly the injunction order issued
in Chicago trespasses upon the Clay
ton act. That question is to be deter
mined. The court itself in Chicago
may so decide after the hearing
before it week from Monday. If the
government has gone further than the
law itself allows in the injunction it
has obtained organized labor has it's
day in court to resist. What is sought
in this situation is law. not lawless-
ness on the part of either side.

Issues.

Issues are abundant this year. The
more than you can shake a stick at.
The candidate for Office finds himself
surrounded by them. All sorts of is
sues. Foreign issues. Domestic issues.
Issties that partake of both foreign
and domestic matters. A blind man
can see them. A deaf man can hear
them. They cannot be ignored or
evaded
OF course, no candidate will under
take or be expected to discuss them all.
Each will st himself with the issue he
thinks best suited to produce results
favorable to himself. He will inspect
the fully supplied arsenal and choose
the weapon best suited to his needs.
In this way all the issues will be
requisitioned during the campaign.
The arsenal will be emptied. Here
one will be in service; there, another;
yonder. still another And so on.
First and last, it ought to be, and
probably will be. a most interesting
and instructive campaign. The orators
and the press are tuned up. The peo-
ple-listeners and readers-are eager
for messages. Meetings will be well
attended. Voters are beginning to ap-
preciate the Importance of what is at
stake and the value of their ballots.
