extensive activities have rendered the present building too small for the posts use,
 AS the post is made up of a good part of the younger element in town and as it has always obtained such support as this town could afford, 1t is thought that prospects for the new building are bright Under the leadership of Commander Harold Dale Ncntres, who has in the past directed the posts activities into channels where they would do the most good to the town, the local branch has always received consld- eration from the town fathers and the voters. A recent bill settling the rent of the present quarters for the year 1927, which was passed into the budget, is an indication of Der lm's regard for the soldier orsanza- tion which has gained much head way here in the past few years.
 \ building that would be credit to tho town has long been the dream of Lcgionnaires and with the es- tahlishment of building fund at lGst, 1t is thought that a realization of the dream IS around the corner. Several bazaars, card parties and other social events are Icing planned to help swell the fund.
 The Ladies' Auxiliary of the league and the Kansinston League of Women Voters. both of which have stood behind the Legion in past activities, will dOuhtlcssly have q large part to play in the coming campaign.

Safer Handling Advised
Of Oil of Wintergreen

Oil of wintergreen, commonly used
In salves and liniments, is extremely
poisonous when taken internally even
in moderate doses. Drs. N. c. Wetzel
and j. d. Nourse report that guam
titles of less than two fluids ounces
have resulted in death.
The toxic effects of this familiar
drug, in frequent use in medical prac-
tice to allay pain and reduce fever,
seem not to have been generally recog.
nized. They are ascribed to the fact
that oil of wintergreen, after being
taken into the body, undergoes very
little chemical destruction, or break
ing up into less dangerous compo-
nentS.
Editorial comment in the Journal of
the American Medical Association says
that from the standpoint of public well
fare access to oil of wintergreen
should be made impossible for children
and for persons ignorant of its poison.

Sing-Song Girls Face
Slump i'm Business

The pretty butterflies Of Chinese
night life, the sing-song girls. whose
entertainment consists purely Of sing.
ing and reciting and who adorn them
selves in brilliant array, iewelrv and
colorful silks, are now facing a slump
In demand for their services, and some
or them have been forced to extremes.
Two sing song girls appeared at the
Mixed Court to testify against two
robbers who had held them up in the
early hours of the morning and robbed
them OF jewels worth $4,000 Their
predicapent was brought out in court
when they were forced to admit that
they did not own their brilliant orna-
ments. but, in common with many
others of their profession. they had
been compelled to rent their jewelry
by the month. AS a result. an eXten-
sive and elaborate jewelry hire service
had arisen In Shanghai. and the girls.
by spending a few dollars a month,
could wear enough jewelry to stir
envy in any millionaire's breast.
The system eXacts that the girl
must sign note guaranteeing TO pay
for the jewels if lost and also provide
shop security to guarantee her credit.
Only the stars, the queens Of the
flower circles, can afford to own their
own jewels.

Must Wear Clothing
Made in Bulgaria

Bulgaria has torn out full page
from Turkeys book. and the Sobranjs
or Parliament has passed a law max
ing il compulsory for deputies and
government employees to wear clothes
and shoes made in Bulgaria. This
was done in order TO encourage home
industry.
The minister of commerce is sitting
up nights trying 10 work out a sys-
tenn which will place this law into
effect.
Most of the government employees in
poor but proud Bulgaria are wearing
last years regulation tail-coat Office
raiment. so the minister has plenty of
time. Government pay does not per-
nit many suits and pairs of shoes.
The national costume. while pic
turesque, is not obligatory. Wearing
it would guarantee its having been
