YOUTH FIRST, THEN STYLE

Why follow fashion doggedly year in
and year out even when fashion de-
serts lines that are meant for you?
One French designer Lanvin. believes
in creating frocks that are youthful,
always picturesque and charming.
For the slim figure there is the
slightly bouffant style of dress. which
is ruffled and hounced this season.
The color and the material of which
1t is made will do much toward as
surfing youthful appearance.
For the more mature figure there
is the long bodice waist with the
TERED skirt The tiers edged with
ribbon or lace will make it the more
attractive. Much depends on the
trimming--make It as light as pos
sible If you would carry out its youth

MERINGUE


There is no mystic incarnation to
pronounce over meringue making
The result may be ethereal. but the
procedure is of the earth earthy-by
main force and elbow grease.
Eggs for meringue MUST be
beaten with whisk. A dover beater
or churn beaten can not whip the
amount of air into them necessary to
make perfect meringue economical
ly. One egg well beaten will go
farther than three half beaten. And
the eggs MUST be fresh.
The temperature of the whites has
little effect on their beating proper
ties, but the whites must be I'M
clouded. A tiny bit of the yolk pre-
vents them from beating we'll If
when breaking the egg and separating
the whites from the yolk the yolk is
broken and some does penetrate the
white this must be removed To do
this dampen a clean soft cloth and
dip into the yolk. Do this until
every trace of yolk is removed. The
yolk clings to the cloth

ZOO MANY FISHERMEN.

After Mr.. Bears huge friend Big
Foot had finished eating the eel that
he snatched out Of Mr.. Bears paws,
he sn1acked his lips and smiled upon
the family party that had come to
the lake for a good time.
What's this-a swimming party or
a fishing party?" he asked.
Both" said Mr.. Bear. We've
had a nice swim. Now we're fishing"
"I'll Join you-if your good wife
has no objections" said Big Foot with
a smirk at Mrs. Bear.
DO" Mrs. Bear exclaimed. DO
Join US, Mr.. Big Foot, I'm glad to
have one of Ephrain's friends with
us. And l know Of nothing that
would pleace Ephraim more"
While his wife was talking, Mr.
Bear made frantic gestures behind
Big Foot's back. He tried his best to
silence Mrs. Bear. But she never no
ticed what he was doing. Mr.. Bear
had hoped to get rid Of Big Foot. per-
hsps by acting as II their outing was
at an end; for IL there was anything
that Mr.. Bear didn't desire, it was to
have Big Foot join their fishing party.
But now the damage was done. Mrs.
Bear and Cuffy and little Silkie
crouched again at the border of the
lake and began to watch for fish.
Very glumly Mr.. Bear took his place
beside them. And to his great annoy

I'm so glad you camel" Mrs. Bear
told Big Foot happily.
Mr.. Bear couldn't help giving

soon changed. "Ah-h-h!" he ex-
claimed as he caught glimpse of a
fine big fish nosing its way among the
rocks, The fish was headed straight
for him.
A moment later Mr.. Bear stepped
into the water and with a lightning
swoop of his paw neatly scooped the

DISEASE CARRIERS

| Just how all the terrible ills and
diseases that seize upon humans
originated and have been carried
from one part OF the globe to another
is difficult to explain. Perhaps
| some of them escaped from Pan
dora's box when she curiously lifted
the lid. Who knows? 1t is enough
to know that we have them with US.
Also that it is your duty to aid the
community in which you live and the
public health boards in every possible
way to stamp cut all agencies which
carry disease and death.
Flies, mosquitoes, ticks. lice, feas
and bed bugs are known to physi-
clans as disease carriers. Their death
toll every year is enormous. Mos
quitoes caused the death of nearly
five thousand people in the United
States in 1921, which was nearly one
half as many as died from typhoid
fever.
Dread Death Dealers
The malaria bearing mosquito is
like a thief in the night. He will
enter your house to bite and take your
life if he is loaded right. More
working days are lost as result Of
this bite than from any other cause.
Abolish the breeding places of these
pests by seeking out wiggle-tails, the
second stage in the life of the mos
quito, where they may be found in
shallow water, bitches and swamps.
The yellow fever mosquito will breed
in water barrels and in old tin cans

water.
The house fly is accused of being
the carrying agent of 80 distinct dis
eases and parasitic organisms. The
chief of these are typhoid, diarrhea,
enterites and tuberculosis. Swat the
fly is all right as far as it goes, but to
abolish all breeding places is better.
Let us pass sentence of death on the
whole fly family.
Rats, and feas from rats; dogs and
CATS and feas from them, are dis
case carriers. Cancer and heart dis
ease are about the only two leading
diseases that do not show marked
decrease during the past few years in
the United States. Cancer nov leads

item credits DR.. Bazvin, a prominent
French scientist, with the statement
that f1eas from dogs and cats carry
cancer garms to those with whom
they come in contact.
Old rags and clothes from disease
infected districts, winds and dust,
drinking water, impure milk. super
sition and even the modern autonlo-
bile have their part as disease-carry- |
ing agents.
Do Your Part
Why a nation wide or worldwide |
campaign of death to rats is not in
augurated is beyond understanding |
They are an expensive luxury. They |
cost up s20o,ooo,ooo a year, or two
dollars per person. in the United
States.
Rats carry typhus bubonic plague |
and other diseases. Why not offer |
a prize of 500. 900 for someone who
will tell us how to get rid of them
If a modern Pied Piper could only
charm them away this amount would
be a mere trihe to pay.
Many different problems of disease
carriers have been met and solved by
cities in our own country and greater
,nes are vet to come. Economic and
social conditions demand the extermi-
nation of all these pests. Do your

The Only Problem Jim Felt He
Couldn't Solve

IT was. 1. think, full minute aftel
Jim had placed In my hand the scarab
scarfpin which recognized as Harr,
Cndtrwood's, before raised my eye!
from a tense, fascinated scrutiny OF
the quaint bauble TO meet 1im's eyes
nxed upon me with lively but re-
spectful curiosity.
The sight of the trinket had
brought a vivid memory fash OF the
first time | had seen it, with Harry
Underwood had twisted 1t from his tie
and given it to me with the theatri-
cal Injunction to send 1t to him II

you don't know"
The Jam had come sooner than
anticipated l had been taken from
my car by men under the leadership
OF Grace Draper and removed to the
lonely country estate of the nlyster-
ious man who had headed the plot
against the government SO signally
foiled by the efforts of my father Lii
liam Underwood and Allen Drake.
Madge Is Puzzled
During my Imprisonment there /
had dispatched the pin to Harry I'm
derwood, masquerading among the
plotters as the big Tangerine," and
he had saved me from death just be-
fore the tragic and melodramatic
capture of the plotters was consum-
mated.
I had noted the pin in his scarf
In the most tense moments, when |
had regained consciousness after that
terrific scene, and he had hidden
Dicky and me a theatrical farewell.
! recognized the touch of theatrical
ism which is never absent from him,
In again dispatching tht pin to me in
so f1amboyant a fashion.
Whatever his connection with the
fugitive bootlegger might be, and my
mind ran the gamut of a dozen sur
misses, sane and otherwise, there could
be no possible reason for his permit
ting Jim to recognize him, when he
easily could have managed other
wire, or for sending the scarab Scarf
pin to me. He must have yielded in
voluntarily. and against his common
sense, to the loce for the dramatic
which is one Of his strongest char
acteristics and dispatched the bigarre
message to me.
That 1t was message. I did not
doubt, but ! had neither leisure nor
inclination to puzzle my brain over it.
There was but one thing to do now,
and ! did it, promptly.
Jim" l asked quietly, you say
you didn't see the face of the man
who pinned this inside your coat. Did
you recognize his voice or his tigure?"
"He Was Mr.. Underwood" ,
I'll couldn't swear to him,
Ma'am.' he said. while reflected that
swearing to Harry Underwood's ident-
ity was the last thing in the world I
should require of Jim, "but-he was
an awful lot like Mrs. Underwood
husband, you know, Ma'am, the man
who used to come to 9Marvin when
you folks first lived there
He was Mr.. Underwood. Jim" I
said slowly. This is scarfpin of
his which have seen often. do not

logger to escape-perhaps he can ex-
