Omens at Royal Wedding

There were many quaint features
about the marriage of Princess Marie
of Rumania and King Alexander Of
Jugo- Slava. On her return from Il
church the bride stepped over a
band of cloth hung between the gate
posts. This represented crossing the
moat and her entry into a new life.
Then she took sieve of wheat and
sugar which she threw in handouts
into the corners of the courtyard
The old custom is for the sieve to be
thrown over the walls. but those Of
the palace were too high for this.
The new Queen then approached
the Palace carrying bread and wine.

To Stop Bleeding From Nose

When we remember that not very
long ago Ncncsection, or bleeding by
the physician. was a favoritc method
of treatment and that leechcs we're
used for local bleeding, we can the
more readily understand that sim
pie attack of noScblccd is nothing to
be afraid of. At the same time,
however, it may be we'll to commit to
memory a few simple precautions.
The patient should always sit upright
and should hold the chin down to
enable the blood to flow forward
through the nose and not backward
into the throat. Tight collars and
bands round the neck should be
lGosencd, and cold should be ap-
piled to the wrists or to the back Of
the neck 1t often helps to snuff
cold water up the nose If the
bleeding comes from small spot in
side the nose, the spot should tie

Youngsters of other lands may make

Luckicr tykes elsewhere in the world

The winter is no harder than US

Only Yourself to Blame

Whoever starts off in life with the
idea, Il shall succeed" always does
succeed, because he does what is nee
essary to bring about this result. If
only one opportunity presents itself
to him, and if this opportunity has,
as it We're, only one hair on it's head,
he SEXES it by that one hair. Furth-
or, he often brings about, uncon-
sclously or not. propitious circum-
stances.
He who. on the contrary. always
doubts himself. never succeeds in do
ing anything. He might find himself
in the midst of an army of opportuni-
ties. with heads of hair like Absalom,
and vet he would not see them and
could not seize a single one. even if
he had only to stretch out his hand
to do so. And if he brings about
circumstances, they are generally I'M
favorable ones.
