6 Prettiness" Makes No
Appeal to Normal Boy

When nature hands on the good
points of parents she invariably-Seems
to be more generous to the boys than
to the girls. Curly hair, long eye
lashes and good compilations go to the
boys more frequently than to the girls.
Notice the boys with natural "mar-
eel" waves and curling eyelashes, and
notice how they value them. A girl
would be proud of them, but most men
and boys are MORALLY ashamed to
possess these advantages. They blush
every time any one mentions eye
lashes, while the curls are given fire.

liantine to restrain their hayward
tendencies, says London Answers.
All this, while less fortunate sisters
try vainly to play the coquette with
scanty, sandy eyelashes, and spend a
small fortune at the hairdressers in
an endeavor to take the lankness out
of their uninteresting tresses!
Real auburn tresseS, too, are more
often than not handed on to the boys.
But there is one consolation. A girl
thus endowed may refer to her

Cure for Blisters

Blisters, caused by the shoe rubbing
the foot, develop into real painful
ulcer If they are not properly treated
Mr.. Mann of Anytown learned.
If pricked some disinfectant should
be applied Immediately The best way
to- let the water out Is to pass Il bit
of vaseline thread through the blister
When the blister is on the sole of
the foot where the skin is thick, take
a fine white thread and grease it well
with borated or pure vaseline.
Thread a coarse needle and pass it
through fhe blister from one end to the
other Cut the thread on each side
and cover the. spot with a bit of vase
line. Next day draw the thread out.
The blister will be gone.
Blisters ON the hand may be pricked
with a needle and then covered with

In No Hurry to Buy

What would the Broadway motor
salesman dc, with this case, which is
typical of the inertia that he would en-
counter almost every day in the
Orient? Woodruff Hay asks, in Asia
Magazine.
A friend Of mine was trying to sell
a motorcar to an Indian in Delhi The
latter gave many excuses for not pur-
chasing, but in reality he was merely
maintaining an attitude of "watchful
waiting" The price had been reduced
already several times. The salesman
assured him that rock bottom had been
reached. If not, no further reduction
would be made for at least a year. The
Indian at once replied. with. a CLEAN
of triumph, as if he had tricked his
adversary into disclosing secret intel
ligence: "Ah, in that case | shall wait

Nothing Gentle About
Practice of Ju-Jutstt

Ju-jutsu originated several hundred
years ago, before the time of gunpow-
der, and its purpose was the elimi-
nation of an opponent. AS 1t was con-
sidered to be used only lin a deadly
combat, there were no fouls. Every
thing went with q view to removing
the danger to ones life, no matter
what position or predicament he be in.
The idea was not to lay an opponent
on the, mat, but to disable him or kill
him as the circumstances required.
Later, when the use of gunpowder
made hand-to-hand fighting in battle
improbable, Ju-jutsu lapsed into OBJ
livion for some years, from which 1t
was finally dragged, dressed up, re-
paired and altered to suit the require
ments of the Japanese aristocracy.
Ju-jutsu can be roughly divided into
three classes. First, tricks for hold
ing; second, tricks for throwing; and
third, tricks for disabling or killing an
enemy by means Of blows or kicks.
The latter class is the real esse1fce of
the art 1t more nearly approximates
the old art than either, of the other
two branches The first two, as taught
today, do not differ greatly from the
science as applied to catch-as-catch
can work.
Examples: Holding tricks: Our
hammer-lock similar to one of their
holding tricks. Front strangle is our
head chancery slipped down to press
on the Adams apple.
Throwing holds: Our flying mare
varied in three ways and called some
thing like "shoenage." Applied from
the side in a flash without. drawing the
arm over the shoulder as in the flying
mare, the cleverest wrestler will al
most always be caught.
Striking tricks: Tsurigume: Knee
to opponents crotch. Some other darn
fool word covers jaB with the stiff
fened fingers to the Adams apple

Fish Taken in SDarnas

Shoveling fish from the river is the
event Of the winter for the farmers
close to the Cowlitz river. Washing
ton. When the smelt start running,
farmers shovel them up by the SCOOP
full, filling barrels and boxes; women
use lace curtain nets at the end OF
portiere poles; boys and girls take
fathers auto cover for seine, and
the professional fisher employs his
linen thread nets. These fish, about
seven to nine inches long, run in
schools, often filling. the river from
bank to bank. They go up stream to
spawn, after which the smelt return
to the ocean and, like. the fur seal,
spend long period far from human
eyes. The food value of the smelt is
what makes it so attractive, being
canned in glass jars, picked in spices,
sailed and dried.

Value Of Antitoxins
Explained by Doctor

Toxins are the poisons Of disease
and produce tina symptoms common to
the disease after circulating through
the blood. AZ
4 Antitoxins are substances that work
against or neutralize the toxins in
any given cases, and they are pro
fuced BY the use of the bacteria Of
the toxins. These are injected into
an animal, usually a horse, in increas-
ing doses, until it becomes habituated
to them and is no longer made ill by
them The immunity or resistance. re-
sides in the blood which has now de-
veloped a defense mechanism against
the poison.
The animals blood is then drawn off
in small quantities. filtered and puri-
fed. This blood is in turn injected
into the blood of man, where ii
exerts the same protecting Influence
against the particular toxin by which
it was produced as it did in the horse,
This is very briefly the nature and
mode of operation of antitoxic Sc
runs The use of an antitoxin in
diphtheria has already saved count
less lives and has changed the once
dreaded and fatal disease to rather
simple complaint if diagnosed early
and treated with antitoxin.
The discoveries of the Dicks and Of
Dochez promise to give the same re-
lief from scarlet fever when methods,
originated only in 1924, are perfected
for this particular disease.-Dr. Wal

Terrible Bluff

= Sophie Kerr, the novelist, said to a
reporter as she boarded the Maure-
tania for European trip:
II write for a living. Writers who
write for arts sake give me pain"
Then, with a rather bitter laugh
she went on:
'These art-for-art's writers are
terrible bluffs as a rule. One of them,
free verse poetess, gave reception
the other day. At the height OF the
reception, while she was surrounded
by the most important of her guests,
pretty little boy in velvet suit came
up and said to her in loud voice:
"'Miss Blank, I think you are won

Everybody laughed and applauded,
and the poetess kissed the pretty little
boy and asked: II.

Geese on Guard

Wild geese are extremely wary, and
take nothing for granted While feed
ing they have a perfect system of SEN
tries. Not content with this, every
now and then two or three will fly
round high UP to see that nothing is
even approaching them from dis
lance.
Their hearing is very acute, and it is
said their sense of smell is also. Ger
tainly, if they are approached down
wind. they are up and away at onca,
even if the greatest care has been
taken to keep out Of sight.
They have a cry like Il pack of
hounds, which may have given rise to
many of the legends of ghostly packs
that are said TO hunt an equally ghost
ly fox at night.

poisoned and his wife, son, and daugh-
ter shot dead. The baby. Peter, was

OVER coo CHTLDREN n CARE


Edward H. Gavin, the Executive
Secretary of the Maryland Children's
Aid Society, has recently compiled a
statistical report covering the work
of the Society during the first six
months of 1925, which shows that
500 children under 10 years of age,
of whom 429 are legally committed
wards, are living under the super
vision OF the Society's agents in fos-
ter homes located in every county in
the State. tS
Upon further analysis the figures
show that 81 of these children are
contributing to their own support,
104 are being boarded at the expense
OF the society, lao are living i'm the
homes of relatives and 294 are plac
ed in families which have. assumed
full. responsibility for the cost OF
their education and up-bringing.
During the period under considera
ton, 92 children have been accepted
for placement by the Society and 70
children have passed from care, OF
whom 4 died and 2 ran away. The
remainder either attained their ma
jority or were married, adopted or
discharged to some other suitable
custody.
In addition to caring for such
children as need to be placed in fos
ter homes, the Society has served
1872 families, involving more than
1000 children in their own homes
during the past six months.
The jurisdiction of the Maryland
Children's Aid Society includes the
entire state with the exception OF
Baltimore City, which is served in a
similar way: by the Henry Watson
Childrens Aid Society. About It %
of the total work of the organization
is accomplished in its four rural
branches located in Baltimore, Fred.
erick,. Montgomery and Talbot coun.
ties, which have become practically
self-supporting in regard to finances.
More than $4,000 was spent by the
state organization and it's various
branches in their operations during
the year 1925.
The chief cause for bringing fami
lies to the attention OF the Sosiety
during the period under considera
ton was desertion or nonsupport by
the father which occurred in $50 OF
the cases, the next most frequent
cause was his unemployment or in.
adequate wage which occurred in
I209a. Children were brought be-
fore the Court as delinquents in II %
of the families dealt with. In 1870
the parents were either divorced or
legally separated and in the same
number one. or both of them were
dead. Immortality, temporary i'll
ness and Improper guardianship each
occurred as factor in about l 20 OF
the cases while drunkenness and
feeblemindedness were responsible
each for less than SO.
