 Thin:-Cocoa butter is nourishing and will assist you in filling out the hollows, but since you are very thin all over, it is best to build up your general health and increase your weight. Drink plenty of milk and other nourishing liquids.
 Auburn Hair:-If you have been eating great many strawberries this season it would account for this rash that many people are afflicted with at present. A cure means to simplify the diet for few days and drink plenty of water.

ITS A QUEER WORLD!

Paris, July IA hug-n1y first sin-rendezvous-
 A guest heard two young girls talking at society reception. Shocked, grieved, the guest de- nanded of the hostess whether the shin1ny or Bo1Shevism is re- sponsible for the decadance in morals of the young generation. A few minutes inquiry developed that the young French fappers were discussing the latest modes, the names of the Sewest Rue de la Paix dresses being such as 'The First Sin."

 sat dumfounded, stunned, dazed. '"The point" he went on, 'is that we need a young man strong, healthy, and quick-witted. whose in- tegrity and honesty are f1awless. who may be trusted under any and all circumstances to keep his promises and to tell the truth, and whose word may be depended upon absolutely. We believe you to be all of that"
 '1t is necessary" he told me, ''to convey 6. small packet of papers from European country into the United States of America. It's sure and secret lodging in this country will notably further the cause of one of the noblest patriotic move ments earth has ever seen. Are you willing to undertake the mission?"
 ''I am willing enough" I answered But not able. I am not as we'll off as I appear to be. I have some prop erty of my own, but it is not much, and the income is very small Far from being able to travel as I please, I must go to work at once to make my living.
 "1 came out here to reflect over several offers of employment, one of which I must accept at once So you will have to apply to some one else.
 'Nothing of the kind" he replied If you go, you go altogether free of charge to yourself. and you shall be paid for letters, giving your inn presslons of certain cities, which will be published over your name in a well-known weekly, one each week for a period of nine consecutive weeks or more.
 You will thus earn a. little money, be free of all living expenses for the summer, enjoy a leisurely and de Gghtful tour of Europe, and return with the pleasant consciousness of having fathered a great and worthy cause"
 I ruminated.
 Before I pledge myself" I de nurred, 'I should know how soon must start. what are the dangers of the venture, and how soon I may ex- pect to return"
 "Zou should start the day after to- mrrow." he replied. 'Risk I do not anticipate for you at all There is ability of any danger existing You should be home free of all responsi. bilities. by the first of October"

The Stranger.


 The moment the last guest was gone I thanked my aunts as prettily as knew how for the pleasure the day and the evening had given me, and told them that I was going for a walk to cool and compose myself before I went to bed.

 Almost at once a medium-si man, wearing derby hat, appeared out of the darkness, and, to my as- tonishment, sat down on the bench
 q beg your pardon" he said. q am a stranger to you, MT. Weigh, but I very much want the favor of a few words with you.'
 What can I do for you?" I asked.
 You would greatly obliee nes'' he said. 'tby listening to what I wish to light a cigar"
 Smoke. by all means" I said. ''and talk away
 'fI took the liberty" he began, "of standing outside your aunts' house and watching the celebration of your coming of age. and listening to the comments of your friends as they came out"
 You seem interested in me-" re- marked.
 '1 have been interested in you for just about four years" he said. "I happened to be present at the com mencenent of your town academy and I was much impressed by your valedictory address and even more by the principals. eu1ogy of you.'
 Spare mel" I exclaimed.
 "Oh, you suffered. I could see that" he chuckled.
 His voice was agreeable and his manner-conci1iate
 'I liked the way you behaved he went on. T admired you. You sat there smiling, outwardly. while in wardIy you -winced, you writhed. Oh, I nderstand your fee1ings!''
 "Very faintly.'' I burst out, inter rupting him ITO be a dog with a bad name, kicked by everybody, can hardly be worse than to nave too good a reputation and to be too much petted and exto1led-''
 You were in agony he agreed, and I felt for Nou.''
 fI have kept at eye on your col lege life" he continued. ''and unless I am deceived, you have lived up to your reputation"
 But will you please tell me why you nave Kept an eye on me, as you call it, and how?"
 Never mind the how" he said. "I did so partly because of your char acter, but more because of your val edictory address,
 You really liked it2' exc1afm ed.
 "You showed real eloquence, and carried your audience. with you by mere fire of sincerity-aand that is the essence of oratory. And it was wonderful to hear a school valedic- tory which was the pupils own. Your speech was a good plain English. obviously your own. and the ideas were your own, too. In your ad- dress on The Duty of Americans to Their Less Fortunate Brethren you had something you wanted to say, and you said it. You were naturally expressing your convictions"
 "Yes,'' I said. And they are my convictions yet. Show me a chance for me to help aspirants after liberty in any oppressed country, and I will embrace it eagerly

Seasonahle Recines

Seasonable Recipes Raspberry Pudding-Crea one fourth cup of butter with one cup of sugar Add one cup of crushed and sweetened raspberries and four eggs beaten separately. Beat to stiff paste and fill a buttered baking dish in alternate layers with fresh bread crumbs. Cover with crumbs. dot with butter, and bake for an hour in a moderate oven. Serve with any pre- ferred sauce.
 Raspberry Jam-Wash and pick the berries, boil with a little water, mash ing and scra ping from the bottom as they simmer When reduced to a thick pulp, add one-haf pound sugar to each pound berries Stew till very thick, scraping constantly from the bottom. Cool in a large bowl, then put in a glass jar with screw top.
 Honey Drink-This is "a beverage much liked in country regions in Eng land. To make 1t. put a pound of honey in a double boiler over the fire and let. remain there, with the heat not very high, until it is quite thin. If the heat is very high, the honey loses some of its characteristics when it is thin.
 
 let stand covered with water for an hour or more-overnight does no harm. Drain off this liquid, bring to a boil, and can or bottle. Sweetened and diluted it furnishes a delightful drink, or by adding other fruit juices, makes the foundation of fruit punch. The best thing about this discovery is that the cherries themselves are far better for having the water stand on them awhile. They are not as sour, as the water removes a large part of the acid taste.
 Steamed Cherry Pudding-Separate two eggs Beat yolks, add one cup milk, one-half teaspoon salt, one ta- plespoon melted butter and two cups | flour sifted with two teaspoons baking powder. Beat all together, fold in beaten egg whites and one pint cher l rfes. Steam one hour. Serve hot | with cherry sauce.
 Cherry Sauce-Two tablespoons flour. one cup sugar. one cup boiling water. Boil one minute and pour into one well beaten egg. Beat and add one cup cherry juice. This will serve | six persons.
 Baked Cherry Pudding-One-hal1 cup sugar, one tablespoon butter. two- thirds cup sweet milk two level tea | spoons baking powder, flour enough tc | make batter like cake. Pour batter | into greased pan. Then take one l cup canned cherries, two-third cur sugar and one pint boiling water. Mi1 1 together. pour over batter and bake | 30 minutes. Fresh fruit can be used | as well, also other kinds of fruit de sired, such as berries and peaches.

COTTON GRADING SCHOOL TO
BE CONDUCTED IN LUBBOCK

We were glad TO learn from j. b.
Hearrell. local Government cotton
grader, that he and II. o. Waters,
the largest bulk buyer on the Plains,
will conduct cotton grading school
IN Lubbock, beginning about June
9TH. II is complimentary 10 Mr..
Waters 10 note that he wishes the
men from whom he buys cotton 10
know about the kind Of cotton they
are selling, as Is indicated in his
willingness 10 assist in conducting
this school.
The Plains are coming to the front
as a cotton producing section. We
have and still do contend that more
dollars per acre can be made off
cotton here In a series Of five years,
than IN any other cotton producing
section Of the state in that period
Of time, and have substantial figures
to prove the fact. and with this In
view II IL certainly well that the
farmers take every opportunity TO
learn the cotton business. the kind
most adapted TO the soil, and The
kind Of staple they are selling.
We believe IL true that II any
man has as much as five bales Of
cotton 10 sell that a complete knowl-
edge Of the business would be a
good investment Of time, as better
price can be received for same in
