warn us to guard ourselves and our
loved ones from spread of conta-
gion:
Another point to be remembered
is that contagious diseases are real
things, and cannot be dealt with as
imaginary ills.
The utensils used by a patient,
or indeed anything else that ne
handles, during illness, may pc
come menace, as they are easily
contaminated with infectious mate
rial. The bacteria and microbes
which we cannot see are more
deadly than any animal which we
see and can kill.
A diphtheria patient will contain
lnate spoons, cups, forks or any
thing which he handles or uses
this is true of any contagious dis-
ease; too much care cannot be
taken of everything which comes III
contact with the patient. All shouid
be regarded with suspicion ana
treated accordingly.
Allow no one to use any OF the
utensils used in case of contagious
disease. even after thorough sterl-
lization. Keep such utensils for the
patient alone. After recovery al

DOUBLE. JEOPARDY"
UNDER THE EIGHT
ZENITH AMENDME.Il I

lldl great tCdCllct VI law
the Supreme Court Of the
United States, has taught the
people of this country another
lesson, and one which at first
glance seems to be strange
one. 1t is that under the Consti-
tuition as it is, as amended by
Amendment No. l9 person
may be punished by fine or i'm
prisonnent, or both, for one
single act, by both the State and
the Nation. Heretofore, with
regard to such a situation as a
prosecution for the same Of
tense under State law and under
Federal law, it has no doubt
been assumed that the citizen
was protected by the First
Amendment to the Constitution
which provides that no person
shall be subject for the same Of
fensc to be twice put in Jeo-
pardy. We now know, under a
decision of the Supreme Court
handed down at Washington
Nov. |. that the State has
power 10 prosecute and punish
an accused for the same Of
fensc for which he is nuder pro-
secution in the Federal courts.
The question arose in Louisl-
ana, where Doras Herbert ca al,
who has been indicted under
the Volstead law for manu-
featuring Intoxicating liquor,
were also indicted and prosecut-
ed for the same act under the
law of the State which forbids
the manufacture and sale of
liquor. The accused intcrposed
plea, in the State case, that
they were already under indict-
ment for the identical ofFense in
the Federal Court, and that the
State was without authority to
act; that, in short, the move Of
both State and Nation to punish
them was an infraction Of the
rule against double jeopardy.
The plea brought before the
Supreme Court, has been over
ruled on the ground that the act
Of the accused was equally and
independently an offense
against the United States and
against the State, and that both
authorities have full power tc
prosecute and punish.
The law Of the land may
drive two prosecutions abreast
for what is really one act. but
may not drive them tandem.
The prosecution may be two
fold, but not repealed" " The
Supreme Court calls attention
to the fact that whether State
statutes shall be construed one
way or another is State
matter, the final decision Of
which rests with the courts of
the State. The Supreme Couit t
cannot revise the decisions of
the State courts on questions OF
State law. But the States have
now given to Congress the
power to prosecute for manu-
featuring liquor, and its power
cannot be limited by any action
of the State.

1t used to be fairly difficult

two or three hours Of trudging,
even the sturdiest twelve-year-
old legs began to question their
owner whether they were really
built for. a life of adventure.
Family grievances, fancied or
actual, grew slighter as home
and supper grew more remote.
At a radius of about seven
miles. the protest against fur
ther walking usually became
absolute. Yet walking it had
to be, unless a fellow possessed
a good bit of money for rail-
road fare, or the courage and
foolhardihood to hop a slow
freight.
Nowadays, ali that is chang
ed. If boy decides to run
away from home, he only needs
to stand by the highway ard
wave an appealing hand. L3l
he is whirled over the road in
a limousine, and perhaps given
sandwiches before he has even
a chance to grow hungry. Thus
does the generous motorist sim

officer widely experienced in
episodes Of juvenile runaway
and other delinquencies. that
they are not rare at all, but on
the contrary very common.
Indeed, this officer says that
in nine of every ten cases OF
runaway, conversation with the
sobered crusader reveals the
fact that it was only the aid of
some passing motorist which
made long escape possible.
Boys are often carried with no
questions asked beyond trust

birth with a dainty, gracefully formed
mouth. Lips of this sort are in
herited and they cannot be obtained
in any other way. If the beauty of
the lips depended entirely upon their
natural shape a large proportion of
women would have to be contented
with unattractive lips. But this is
not the case. There are two other
ways in which the mouth may be
truly beautiful.
Just as it takes a good complexion
as well as good features to make
an attractive face, so 1t is necessary
that the skin of the lips be kept
soft and smooth in order TO have
pretty mouth Parched dry, peel
ing skin would make the most beau
tifully formed lips look ugly, and
no one can blame justly her forebears
for such a condition, which Is merely
the result of lack of care. Even if
the lips are not delicately shaped,
they may be beautiful in the velvety
texture of the skin.
Every woman owes it to herself
to keep her lips smooth and full as
long as possible. Puckered, dry lips
are signs of growing old, and there
are few in our day and generation
who do not wish to hold off as long
as they can the evil day when they
must admit they are no longer young.
The only way to keep the lips young

John stared at her. How she had

that she cared so little about him.
And not only that. but how eager
she was to get to Mark Sands. He

Helena shook her head.

town again tomorrow night for dinner
and the theater. And I feel that

now that Natalie isn't there to take
care of him. That means getting up
fairly early, and you know how
sleepy / am in the morning"
Inc remark carried JOHN DdCh 10
the first days of their marriage. He re-
membered how he had clambered
down from the upper berth on their
trip to Havana, to find Helena still
sound asleep. She had always been
at her prettiest in the morning. She
had an adorable way of sleeping with
one hand tucked under her cheek. And
her ruff1ed hair had given her a child
ish look. He remembered now that
while he had shaved he had looked at
her occasionally and wondered why
she wasn't as sweet awake as she was
while she was sleeping. She hadn't
seemed like the same woman. But
now she had changed. She was no
longer so particular about her hair.
There was a strange romantic quality
about her, and it Infatuated him to
feel that Mark Sands had reused it in
her when he had failed
Perhaps If he had another chance
but then that was ridiculous, and ut
terly impossible. They were no longer
in love.

My Neighbor Says:

Before cutting cake which is
iced hold the knife in boiling
water for a few seconds and
you will be able to cut without
breaking the icing.
Paint your gas stove with sill
yer enamel paint twice a year.
This keeps it in good condition,
saves blackening, and you will
not soil the daintiest dress that
may touch it.
A good tapestry may always
be safely washed. Do not put
soap on it, but wash in the same
way as flannel. Rinse very
thoroughly, put through a
wr1nger. If possible, and iron
on the wrong side when nearly
dry.
To cool an oven while bak-
ing, keep the door shut, put in
the damper of the oven f1ue,
and if the oven is still too hot
remove one of the rings of the
hot plate. This will reduce the
temperature quickly without ad-
hitting cold air to the oven.
When cooking turnips, cab
bage or fish, put a dish of salt
on top of stove. 1t will help
absorb the odor.
Another neighbor writes:
After cooking cabbage or any
vegetables that have a disagree
able odor, sprinkle little
ground cinnamon on the top of
the stove and all doors will dis
appear.
