With the coming of summer comes the
automobile traffic, which promises to be
heavy throughout the summer. Already
several parties have taken the liberty of
trespassing in meadows and plowed land
to pick blossoms, which undoubtedly do
look tempting to them; or to picnic, at
the same time thinking little, if any, of
the damage they are doing to the grass
crop. Farmers are wondering who owns
the hill farms, the real farm owner" or

Sad to say, there is an element of law
Iessness that seems to possess some mo-
torists when out on the road, who are
decent, Iaw-abiding citizens when at
home.

PEDDLING CHILDREN.

child answered an ad which asked
children to write and find out how to
earn a beautiful premium. The ad was
in religious weekly, not daily paper.
Newspapers are apt to be more discrim-
mating in their acceptance of adyertis-
ing material. \ letter came by return
mail saying that a package of small dry
stores for kitchen use was already on
the way to her All she had to do was
to sell these among the neighbors, and
the premium would be hers. When the
child's mother was shown the letter, she
promptly returned the package unopened
to the firm sending it
If there is one thing every housewife
resents it is a child peddling things at
her door. The agent trying to sell her a
new kind of baking powder, when she
likes her regular brand, and could get
others at her grocers if she wanted to
experiment, is bad enough; the hard
luck-tale vender of inferior needles and
shoestrings wrings her heart and rouses
her wrath at the same time The book
agent and stock salesman she has learned
to foil by the simple process of refusing
their urgent invitation to sit down, in
her own home. But what can she do
about the neighbours child?
And how can she draw the line be-
tween the lad who has regular Friday
afternoon trade in his mothers delicious
doughnuts and the equally bright and
energetic child down the street peddling
the strange goods of an out-of-town con-
Germ. trying to win a premium? There
is a difference. however.
The firm which tries to escape paying
proper advertising bills and proper sal
aries to adult agents by inducing chill
dren to peddle it's wares for cheap prayer
books or Bibles or what not is in a
pretty small business from every point
of view. If its business methods are
thus questionable, who wants to take a
chance on the quality of its wares?
Parents are apt to be lax about these
things They think it's good thing to
encourage initiative and industry So
it is. But it is not a good thing to let
a child become a neighborhood nuisance
or get into the habit of answering ads
and following their suggestions without
discrimination.

OUR ANCESTORS TREATED
CONSTIPATION NATURALLY

Constipation is as old as the world.
Most people must fight it from birth to
death. Some use harsh eathartlcs or me
tallic drugs that force relief, but do not
strengthen the organs so that they per
form their functions normally.
Our early ancestors turned to Nature
for pleasant relief. From herbs. banks.
roots and leaves blessed with laxative
properties, they prepared a pleasant, et-
fective extract. Such remedy as our
forafa tbers made is DIR. True's Elixir,
the True Family Laxative and Worm
ExpeIIer. Prescribed for his patients
originally seventy-one years ago by DIR.
J. +. True, a conscientious Maine coun-
try doctor, it has become household
favorite. Contains no metallic drugs
just pure extracts that purify the bow
ais as they cleanse. Used over 20 years.

Poems You May Not Know.
The Milk Derby.

(Tune-"Reuben, Reuben, I've Been
Thinking')
Had a horse and his name was Napoleon,
All on account of his bony parts,
He was sired by a Hamiltonian,
Cussed by everyone round these parts.
He was so thin you could see right
through him,
Hair was as fine, as fine as silk,
Hitched him up to an old milk wagon,
Taught him to stop when L hollered,
Milk"
As l was going to town one morning
/ met Ed Scott in a rig so fine,
Says he, IN race your old Hamilton
can; :"
Says !, "All right" so we fell in line.
Down the road we heller sheltered,
We were going at a hang of pace;
The old humdinger was coming out win
ner,
When Ed hollers Milk" and 1 lost
that race.

Beauty Answers,

Mrs. G. n. g.: would suggest
pale fresh rouge for you. 1t is a
good idea to experiment with few
different shades until you have just
the one that tones in with your
skin. 1t is hard for me, to advise
a definite color just from the color
Of the hair. because skin colortngs
vary so. About the complexion ills,
won't you please send me s..a- e.
for my pamphlet on cae- of the
complexion? 1t covers your queries
about the ftratment of an oily skin
and blackheads, and is quite too
long to print here.
H. N: After removing the ragged
skin coat the part with collodion
or new skin to coat the injury and
give it a chance to heal. For the
brittle nails use warm sweet almond
oil o. olive oil. and soak the finger
tips in it for a few minutes every
night. Coal cream allowed to re-
main on at night under the nail.
