No Investigation
By State in Matter
Gordon Fox Farms

The State attorney generals de-
partment is not now investigator
nor has it made any arrangements
to investigate the Gordon Silver
Black Fox Ranches.
This was the statement given out
Friday by Deputy Attorney General
Sanford l.. Fogg of Augusta to Il
journal reporter when questioned in
regard to the rumorS circulated that
there might be renewal of the
States probe into the project.
Judge Fogg said that the State le-
gal department has made no move
along this line since the completion
of the investigation made by former
Attorney General Ransford w. Shaw
about three months ago. which in
veStigation brought forth no evidence
that the law had not been complied
with.
1t is understood that quite a num-
Der of people have made inquiry at
the office of State Bank commissioner
Fred f. Lawrence as to any possible
regulation that department might
have to this enterprise. To these in
quiries, Bank Commissioner Lawrence
has replied that that matter is not in
his province for the Gordon concern
deals in foxes and not in securities.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
Regular Feelings.

From the time the baby Is born he
should be put upon a regular schedule
OF feelings. With children of over 6
pounds in weight the four-hour nurs-
ing period is ideal. This gives the
mother comparative freedom, so that
nealthful recreation will make her
happier and thus a better nurse-and
babies fed every four hours are less
likely to develop collie than those on
more frequent feelings. To feed any
oftener than once in three hours is to
court all manner of digestive troubles
Next to proper interval comes the
importance of sticking TO intervals
exactly. If the baby is awakened the
first few days at regular periods he
Will learn to waken at those times.
Feed him only on those periods and

more conducive to trouble than to

water or food when he cries is to make
a cross, irritable baby OF him and one

every time he grew restless. 1t is no
funnier than feeding a child because
he begins to squirm and fuss and cry.
His action may arise fromany num-
ber of causes.

feeding, mother can then figure out

THE WIDOWS MIGHT

lief of seeing another human being
was so great that Fay forgot every
thing else. A little sob welled up in
her throat. her eyes blurred.
Here I am" she cried weakly.
Don't come too near. Part of the
ledge has broken away and 1t isn't
safe"
Dean was on the ledge now and was
coming swiftly toward her and again
Fay called TO him.
Please don't come any closer, the
whole thing may give way at any
moment"
He was quite near her now, near
enough to speak to her in an even
controlled voice that was strangely
comforting Between them that aw-
full gap in the ledge spread like
sinister warming and Fay found her
self shuddering.
What was that he was saying?
Come, Mrs. Churchill, you must be
brave. l want you to slip this moose
around you and pull II tight under
your arms. Don't be afraid, youll be
quite safe"
He threw the rope TO her, and with
trembling fingers she picked it up and
did as he had told her. Then she
watched him as he fastened the other
end Of the rope around his own body
and linked one arm around the trunk
Of tree.
Now" he said very calmly. don't
think about anything but getting
across to safety. Don't look down,
| and just believe that even If you slip
| or the ground gives way, | have you.
| At that moment if the man opposite
| her had been any one but Dean Hamp-
| ton, Fay would have given way TO un-
comfortable panic. She wanted TO cry
out that she simply couldn't make the
N n ~
| the ground and cry weakly, but be-
cause she knew that Dean Hampton
| despised her anyway and would de-
| spise her still more if she gave way
utterly, she was determined to make
| the effort. Closing her eyes as he had
| told her, she began TO edge her way
| toward him. Far below her the
| waters roared, but her own heart was
| beating so furiously that she was con
scious of nothing else. She felt the
rope tugging gently and knew that
the other end was fastened to Dean
| and that he had said he would save
! her, but as she reached the narrow
| part of the ledge il cracked onInous4y
and her knees shook under her.
What followed happened SO quickly
| that afterward It was all blurred III
| her memory.
She felt the ground give ",-y under
her feet. and like a wild thing she
! forgot caution in the desire to save
| herself.
She ran stumblingIy forward. felt
strong hands on her shoulders draw
| ing her to safety, and then there was
a roaring in her ears, and everything
went black around her.

Daily, thorough brushing is the next
thing needed, but we've talked about
that lot recently. Hot olive oil or
hot crude oil should be rubbed into a
dry scalp or a dandruffy oily one the
night before the shampoo, rubbed in
literally and allowed to soak in all
night. I cured one case of dry dan
druff that had existed II years, by rub
bing occasionally with olive OIL. 1t took
months, but after all, the dandruff had
persisted years. Some beauty shops
use iodine, but you had better not try
this yourself.
The tonic formula is: Pilocarpine
hydrochlorate, 2 grains; precipitated
sulphur, 80 grains; carbon detergent,
80 drops; castor oil. 10 drops; alcohol
ounces: Tr. cantharides. 4 drams
cologne, drains; rose water TO make

The Rescue.

But strangely enough, it was not
Jacks blond head and CHEEKY coun-
tenance that appeared suddenly out
of the gathering gloom. Fays first
apprisal that any one was near was q
deeper voice than Jacks calling her
name over and over, and she drew
herself carefully to her feet, feeling
cramped and stiff.
At first her throat was too dry to
make a sound, but at last she called
out in a trembling voice:
I'm here"
In spite of her long, dreary wait
and the peril of her position, Fay
could not help wondering why Dean
Hampton had come to her aid. He
had made no secret of the fact that
he disliked her, and she certainly did
not want TO be under any obligations
to him. To be rescued by him was a
humiliation tbat she did not want to
face. Hating her as he did, he might
even believe that she had done this
thing purposely so as to dramatize
herself
And then quite suddenly his face ap.
peared on the trail below and the re-
