Until September Ia

The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game is calling attention to
the fact tlrat inasmueh as September
16 comes on Sunday, duck hunting
will not he legal until Monday, the
17th, as the law prohibits all hunt
ing on Sunday.
Thinking many people may not
have noticed that the 10th comes on
Sunday. and may be making their
plans for hunting on that date, the
department believes it wise to call
attention to this matter at this time.

Lands Ii Pound TOgue

The Porter Lake House at New
Vineyard has been having a success
full season and more guests than were
anticipated by the management as
the place is a new one. Parties who
have been there greatly desired to
make their stay much longer. One
party there from Massachusetts while
on the lake, landed a togue that tip
ped the scales at Is pounds, and it
surely was beauty. Guests are ex-
pected daily.

BUSINESS PROBLEMS

At an advertising convention held several months ago, a successful sales executive talked about tackling diff ficult business problems. He sug- gested three questions which any business man or woman might stick under the glass on his desk;
 1. What has been done?
 2. What can be done?
 8. What shall I do?
 This sales executive claimed that the next time any one has a business and answers them, he will be on a fair road toward getting something constructive done.
 I pass them along to you, girls. because they certainly indicate in a clear, concise way the method of tackiing any problem. Incidentally, the test of any good business execu- tive is in the intelligent, capable way he handles business situations.
 There are some business men or women who are easily thrown into a panic. They are excited, high strung, and when something unfor- seen\occurs they "fly off the handle" Surely you know some of this type in your office. Unfortunately there are often more than one.)

Vampire Complexion"
 Is Natural, She Says

They say of certain well-known dancer that she has a vampire complexion" it innate friends she has confided she abhors make-ups and that her complexion is really natural. Her secret is-ordinary mercolized wax. She spreads a thin coat of the wax over her face at night, and washes it off upon arising. This simple application actually absorbs the dead par ticles of scarf skin which daily appsar, and fair soft fresh, girlish skin is al ways in evidence. The complexion Is kept perpetually young by preventing the ac- cumulation of the aging cuticle.

WAS WORLDLY WISE

He was tired of worldly wise women, tired of their artifices and their callousness. They could not hold him any longer. He was weary of the intoxicating spell of heavy per fumes, of honeyed words ana the eternal masks such women wore. He longed for simplicity and unsullied youthfulness.
 The summer before in a little-out- of-the-way town he had met a girl, a slender, dainty little thing, with corn -colored hair which hung in thick braid down her hack. Her large blue eyes had made him feel like humbly kissing the hem of her gingham frock. As far as he had been able to understand, her only knowledge of worldly ways had been acquired from witnessing perform ance of East Lynne" played by third-rate company at the opera house She had been dreadtully shocked.
 He had come to his senses. He would go to her and confess his un- worthiness and his love for her, con fident that she would forgive him the. things she would never understand and smooth his forehead with her soft, delicate fingers.
 Just as he supposed, she was wait ing in the little out-of-t -the-way town-patiently waiting his return.
 
 He noted the flush creep into her cheeks when she saw him, saw it and maryelled How could he nave so nearly forgotten her, a girl who could blush naturally like that? He felt sure she would restore his shaken faith in womankind.
 They sat on the porch in the moon light. The simple little homemade dress she wore could not conceal the rounded curves of her youthful body. And it was not studied effect. She had wound her gleaming braids around her shapely head. lending a madonna-like sweetness to her face A little tendrf of hair curled at the nape of her neck. He wanted to kiss the spot.
 She was leaning back idly swing ing her feet. Her dress had slipped up a little higher than her code of modesty permitted. It was not the sight of two extremely pretty ankles which caused him to start, it was the manner in which the charms of those ankles were enhanced. They were in cased in shimmering silk of quality he recognized as being the most ex- pensive sort.
 He was dazed-his little dream girl wearing stockings of that descrip- ton! Where did she get them? They had never come from a town of this kind where lisle hose was the pre- vailing style. He glanced first at her averted face. then at the swinging foot. A horrible suspicion began to filter through his brain. Could it be that she was like all the rest? In that moment the ghosts of all the women of his yesterdays mocked him.
 He rose unsteadily. Her surprised exclamation and timid, detaining hand on his sleeve did not deceive him now. With harsh laugh he left her standing there with tears glistening in her blue eyes and an expression of dumb misery on her face. As he rushed away he derided himself and bitterly for being fooled by that in- nocent baby-stare stuff. Simplicity -bahi
 It completely slipped his mind that :. he had sent her those silk stockings as a remembrance.

 Her heart beat more evenly now. "Yes." she admitted promptly, "he is an old friend of my fathers and of mine." a Paine's black eyes rested on her speculatively. It was as if he were trying to read her thoughts.

 DO you?"
 That was all she could say.
 "Yes"-leaning forward as if to impart some special confidence-"I do. You see-by the way"-checking himself abruptly-"you do not mind if I speak a plain truth or so about him"
 She shook her head.
 But what if I were to say any thing disagreeable about Muir?" he leased.
 Her answer was involuntary and surprised even herself.
 You could not" she declared.
 An" he smiled trirmphantly. T am relieved. I see now that l was right in my surmise-and hope
 What were they?" she demanded. "Only that Rankin does not mean as much to you as other men may Muir, for instance. l am glad"
 She did not know what to reply. She must not let him suspect the re- lations between her and Richard. Not only was she desirous of keep ing them secret, but she had a strange and painful interest in what he was going to tell her about the man to whom she was engaged
 And yet to listen was surely dis- loyal to the man she was going to marry. Marry!
 The word seemed to beat itself against her brain. She shivered Are you cold?" Paine asked. glancing about for window or door that might need closing.
 "Only little chilly" the girl said. Excuse me for a minute and l will get scarf"
 She returned almost at once with a bit of fljmsy. drapery about her shoulders. But in that minute alone in her own room she had decided that she must know what this man had started to tell her. In spite of loyalty or disloyalty, she must know.

 T of those who stand for the fapper, ;, gays the Rev. Dr. William E. Gardner of Omaha. She is a symbol of the time. As she sweeps down the street she is like nothing much young, spirited puppy dog eager for the fray. We do wrong tc condemn tnem, decly them, to suspect them. Most Christians all the world and especially if they from New England have conscientious feeling that unless goodness is accompanied by due amount of discomfort it is not goodness The youth Of the day has repudiated this idea
 It is wrong idea and its repudiation, by the 1apper. would be a service if that the purpose of fapperism But is it? The fapper has thought of supplanting uncomfortable goodness by virtue The important distinction between goodness and virtue, as Shaw remarks, has never been made by the Anglo Saxon mind, but it is the less valid for that reason and if goodness goody goodness calls for discomfort in order to be genuine the fapper has a right to rebel But unfortunately her rebellion is far too comprehensive. She does not stop at protest against an irksome and narrow Puritanism but defes parental restraint, school discipline and conventions that social rather than religious.
 If she were merely the apostle of joyous life and greater personal liberty the apper might be welcomed as the hope of nation that is afflicted with growing tendency to make every human ac- tfvity the subject of restrictive law-she might come in time to tea coffee and tobacco But the fapper wants to go her way at her own gait in everything regardless of the truth that without discipline sound education is impossible Respect for authority in youth is the foundation respect for the law in maturity.

IF BACK HURTS
 FLUSH KIDNEYS
Drink Plenty Water and Take Glass of Salts Before Breakfast
 Occasionally.

When your kidneys hurt and your back feels sore, don't get scared and proceed to load your stomach with lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean, by flushing them with mild, harmless, salts which helps to remove the body's urinous waste and stimulate them to their normal activity.
 The function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily under- stand the vital importance of keep ing the kidneys active.
 Drink lots of good water--you can't drink too much; also get from of lad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in glass of water before break fast each morning for q few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been l.sed for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralze the acids in the system SD they are no longer a source of | irritation, thus often relieving blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure; makes a delightful effervea- cent Whitewater drink which ev- eryone should take now and then to help keep their kidneys clean and active. Try this;. also keep up the water drinking, and no doubt you will wonder what became of your kidney trouble and backache By all means have your physician ex- anime your kidneys at least twice a year.

The campaign for the suppression of the mania for more and more government and the eonse- quent mounting costs is becoming popular. An H. umihing illus tration of this fact is furnished in the popularity gained by Stanley Baldwin, British Chan cellor of the Exchequer, when he declared the other day 'I going 10 break the policy of terrific gcv- ernmenta expenditures il will break me- Today newspapers and others all over England demand ing that Baldwin shall become Premier in the event that Law retires
