Mrs, Moberly feels keenly on the sub

She scorns a generous exposure Of
sheer hosiery and thin frocks. And
she says she thinks of the rolled hose"
with a shudder. Mrs. Moberly can

too short from the top. She claims She

Stamp Profiteerino Slow.

The lowest Lilliputians in the whole
hierarchy Of international finance are
probably the stamp pedders. There
is hardly a person who was born on
the other side who Is not dabbling In
some angle Of foreign exchange, but
the stamp men seem willing to opsr-

profit. Up and, down the market

Girls, Confide in Mother.

The moment girl has secret from
her mother or has friend Of whom
her mother does not know, she is in
danger. A secret is not a good thing
for girl to have. The fewer secrets
that lie in the hearts of women at any
age, the better. 1t is almost a test
of purity. She who has none of her
own is best and happiest.
In girlhood hide nothing from your
mother; do nothing that if discovered
by your father would make you blush.
When you are married, never, never,
never conceal anything from your hus-
band. Never allow yourself to write
letter that he may not know all
about, or receive one that you are not
willing that he should read Have no
mysteries whatever. Tell those who
are about you where you 60 and what
you do. Those who have the right to
Know, mean of course
A little secretiveness has set many
scandal ahoat, and much is said about
women who tell too much, they are
much better off than the women who
tell too little. A man may be ret
ticent and lie under no suspicion; not
SO woman.
The girl who frankly says to her
mother, 81 have been here. met so
and so. Such and such remarks were
made, and this or that was DONE" will
be certain Of receiving good advice and
sympathy. If all was right no fault
will be found. If the mother knows,
out of her greater experienc, that some
thing was improper, OF unsuitable
she will, if she is d good mother, kind
ly advise against its repetition.
1t is when mothers discover that
their girls are hiding things from them
that they rebuke or scold. Innocent
faults are always pardoned by a kind
parent.
You may not know, girls, just what
is right, just what is wrong yet. You
can't be blamed for making little mis-
takes, but you will never do anything
very wrong if from the first YOU have
no secrets from your mother.

A plan has been worked out with the
dental department of the Virginia State
Board Of Health for placing an timer
ant dentist in the county in which
Strasburg is located. This work will
be under the direction of the Shenan-
doah Chapter OF the Red Cross, the
Shenandoah County School Board and
the State Board of Health, and will be
supported by these varius bodies and
by fees charged for treatment. The
dentist will go to the most remote
schools first and work up to the various
towns. The fee for treatment will
average about so cents per child. as
the State Board Of Health will pay
one-third Of cost and the Red Cross
Chapter of the county will pay the 9TH
er third, thus making the sum a very
nominal one for each individual. The
dentist expects to start work by Febru-
airy LIST.

death.

The seal is fast becoming extermin-
ated. More. strict regulations were
imposed from year to year, until in
1910, law was passed prohibiting the
killing Of any seals nor a period Of Ave
years. But that has not stopped the
killing Of the seals out in the water.
and the slaughter is now much greater
II is strange that until very recently,
not one Of the seal furs ever came
to this country for a market, as they
were mostly all sent to London and
there sold to the highest bidder, JUS,
as our corn and wheat sells on the
market in the large cities. Within the
last few years, however. a fur market
ha sben established at ST. Louis. Mo,

Is worth from fifteen no twenty dollars,
if properly skinned. That does no,
compare very favorably with the price
of sealskin coat, but the fur changes
through number of hands before il
is finally made into a lady's sealskin
coat.

When Uncle George Spilled the Mill

A few weeks ago Uncle George Her
ron visited the photographer. Though
Uncle George is sixty odd years old, he
has never had photograph taken
since the masterpiece that shows him
with kilt skirt and a head of moist
surls, and that still hangs in an oval
frame on the wall of the front parlor
where his mother placed it so long ago
The photographer is an old crony OF
Uncle Georges, and they deal with each
other frankly. When Uncle George
saw the proofs he was disappointed

We have heard OF Ford automobile


We have heard OF Ford automobile
doing most all sort of queer things, but
this story beats them all. Thomas
Kline, the well-known Frederick buck
ster, was very much annoyed by rats
IN his shed, and the rodents absolute
ly refused TO be caught in a trap. Mr..
Kline attached a piece of hose to the
exhaust pipe on his Ford car, and then
inserted the hose in one OF the rat
holes, and started the engine. In few
minutes one of the rats, half dazed.
emerged from another hole, and was
promptly killed by club. Pretty soon
another rat came staggering from the
second hole, and was gently murdered.
This process was kept UP until Mr..
Kline had seventeen rats lying on a
pile. Evidently the fumes from the
exhaust had sickened the rodents, and
they came out to get air.-Middle-
