We all like the easiest way

IT'S human nature to prefer the
J. easiest way of doing things +.
Practically every important iaven>
ton that has marked the progress of
the times has been aimed at simplify
ing some job or other. Take the type
writer, the sewing machine, or any one
of hundred others that you think of.
Weare constantly lystudying utnew
ways to make things easier to do;
partly because we want to speed up,
get more accomplished; but also
and this must not be overlooked
because we like to pamper ourselves.
About great many things, to bereally
honest, we're all fundamentally lazy.
And particularly, we're lazy about
some of the small important things of
life.
Even in that simple matter of brush
ing the teeth-a daily duty we owe
to our own Well>being-many of us
are negligent.
At night we're tired; in the morn
ing we're in hurry.

Realizing the truth of this, the
makers of Listerine set out deliberately
to formulate dentifrice that would
furnish the easiest, quickest way to
clean teeth. In short, tooth paste
efficient even in the hands of lazy peo>
ple-for in tooth brushing, at least,
the word lazy applies to so many
of us.
Listerine Tooth Paste is really very
easy to use. 1t works fast. With just
a minimum Of brushing your teeth
feel clean-and actually are clean.
You have the job done almost be-
fore you know it,
This is on account of the way
Listerine Tooth Paste is made. 1t
contains specially prepared cleans
ing ingredient-entirely harmless to
enamel*-plus the antiseptic essen
tial oils that have made Listerine
famous.
And how fine your mouth feels
after this kind of a brushing. Then,
besides, you know your teeth are real
ly clean-and therefore safe from de-

Betty told her story in terse, vigor-
Gus sentences. BY the time the party
had cached the entrance to the bride
path Mr.. Dingwali was beginning to
view the Inverlochtie tragedy from A
new and more accurate angle. The
inspector, too, was an interested lis
tener. He gave Sheldon an occasional
weighing look which led the detective
to try to dispel at once any new false
impression which might be forming
in his colleagues mind.

 The entertainment committee feels that it is q most kindly coincidence that Fate has brought Miss perirr here to shoot some Of the scenes Of Hot Steel" ut the same time this bazaar is being given.
 She has consented, at the request of Miss Sally Ath"rtou, one of her great friends, to speak from the stage Of the auditorium every after noon and evening.

as he had recovered from his great fright.
 There were nesting boxes in there. each with hay in it. That meant that if he could find just the right place he could build a comfortable nest and make him self quite at home. At first not knowing what else to do. he hid in one of those nesting boxes. He chose the one highest up and in The darkest corner. There he crept in under the hay and waited 10 see what would happen.
 Now it was afternoon when Danny reached tho henhOuse. IL was only q little while after he had hidden in that nesting box that the hens came in. One by one they flew up on the roosts. Farmer Browns Boy came and closed the little slide that would keep any one else from getting into that henhouse through the opening which the hens used in the daytime. In short time it became dark.

 Wilma turned to look after Bar bara as she walked away Her eyes were full of pity,
 Barbara walked back down the street. past the submerged tennis court, past the bungalow with the poodle, past the brick house with its weedy lawn. The yapping of the dog followed her drearily down the street.
 She walked very slowly, breathing deeply and trying not to think. She caught her breath as she came oppo- site her old home. It's squalor in the morning light was more extreme than sho had yet realized.
 She glanced at the room upstairs | In which she had slept. The rents in tho blind were clearly visible from the street. The window in the sewing room suddenly flew up and curtain struggled out into the air.
 Barbara turned in through the gate and went up the porch steps.
 When she entered the hall, there was no sign of Mrs. Crumpett. The dining room door still stood open. revealing tho dust-laden table and the overturned chair The door of lthc living room was closed Barbara saw card tackled on if, but she did not trouble to read the name.
 She looked about her. The bulb overhead which had shone blood-red last night. was richly Wine-red this morning. The mirror on the hat stand was no pool of bloody light, but only dull surface with shad- ows and gray walls caught in ita depths
 Barbara walked toward the stairs The musty closcncss of the house had made her head begin 10 ache again. She climbed the steps slowly
 As she reached the upper hall, the bathroom door flew open. Barbara saw q woman come out with bun dle of wet laundry hugged close to her body She was dressed in fad ed lavender dressing gown and her bobbed hair Topped over her faco as she stopped 10 pick up garment that had fallen from the pile.
 She raised her head and flung the locks of hair back. Her childish blue eyes were set in pools of black shadow.
 She looked straight at Barbara and, turned away. Barbara stopped breathing.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
Hy DIR. HUGH $. CUMMING surucou General, |. $. Public Health
Service.

NtTNtts
 Ona.of the oldest and in the case of many communicable diseases, most effective methods of preventing Their spread is the rigid enforcement of quarantine. -
 The Bureau of the Public Health Service is charged by law with the enforcement of quarantine at the rorts of entry of the United States Ouarantinc in the home is based on the same general principle. namely tthat of keeping suspects and those known to be infected with a com' municable disease from mingIing with others until thor" is no danger of spreading the disease.
 A few years ago it was common practice to quarantine an ent're house. Today 1t is more common to is,l,,., il patient in his own room and .allow the members Of the houSchoId to come and go at will so long as they do not come in contact with the patient. but this will depend some what on the disease.
 r the patient is conTal"Sccnt' quarantine is not so easily enforced Ilrcausc naturally the patient desires to sec members of his family and icthor visitors. It is during this pc Iiod of convalosccnsc that many dis ."s.s shuuI be watched 10 see that the patient dcra not com" in contact with others, particularly with young children.
 It frequently happens that per son is infected with the germs of communicable discas" and is only slightly sick. IL is difficult for such a person 10 understand how he or she can possibly be a menace to other people Such patients arc really the most darg, rous.
 It frequently happens, also. that mothers and fathers do not apprc- ciatc the importance of keeping chil- drrn. conyalescing from q contagious ,liscasc, still infectious yet apparent ly well, from minging with other children,
 If you allow your child to break quarantine before he is compctely Irccov.Ied or before he has reached the non-infectious stage you are di- rectly responsible if other children contract the disease and your board Of health can hold you responsible for such negligence.
 The length of the period Of quar- antine is not matter Of guess work Periods of isolation are based on laboratory tests. There is one safe rule which you can follow and that rule is 10 obey the regulations Of your local board Of health. If you break these rules whenever you feel like it your neighbor may

 It's mighty sweet of you to say that Madgo," she said. her voice re- yorting to the soft Southern drawl much of which she has lost in these later years.

 l had thought her smooth, pol lshed--hard-only q few minutes before. But now her face was glowing, her whole figure vibrant with the gratitude she was voiclng.
 Gratitude! Perhaps, told myself cynicaly, but aloud I protested warmly
 What nonsense! You already have repaid him in helping him SO wonderfully over the tight places. And now the thing Is fairly well es- abolished, isn't it?"
 We've weathered the worst of the storm" she said, but none of us know how secure our anchor chains are"
 I was furious at myself for leav- ing so open an opportunity for her 10 rebuff me. It was as if she had said to me: Hands off This maga. zine venture does not concern you. It is mine and Dicky's." But l set my teeth and answered sacharinely.
 "Oh, Is sure everything will be all right with you helping him. l wish l could help, but that isn't in my line at all. I'm not going to be idle this winter, however. I have a plan of my own which this apart mcnt i6 going 10 help me to carry out.

Madge and Edith Engage in
 Verbal Tilt

What disgusting things words are? Edith Fairfax said, Am l right in my conjecture that you think Two been too ofticious about this apart ment?" What she moant was n far different thing, Put into words it would not have been a solicitouS query, but a tauntng "Ah! I've kicked you on the raw meat at last, You're simply wild with jealousy now that you've fouhd out that Dicky saw this apartment, and prac' tcally selected 1t before you came up here"
 If, in turn. I had said wha: was in my heart-I crlnged at the reve- lGtlon of what lnvectlve a soul was capah,e when one was sure it would never be translated into Audiblo speech. But again there came 10 me the new. surprising revelation that 1t was not jealousy in the old hot. wild mesn ming of the word which 1 was feeling. Furious anger at what my outraged vanity dubbed her coloSsa! impertinence was shak- ing mo, but I reaiized-and quaked with fear at the knowledge--that Tor the passing moment at least 1 did not care whether or not my husband and the woman leaning toward me with such apparent solici- tude were in love with each other.
 There was one thing, however, about which I cared tremendously Not for untold dollars would I per init Edith Fairfax 10 sec any further betrayal of my wounded self esteem. So with the marshaIing of all my resources, l managed an apparently horrihed, "Oh, Edith, dear. how can you imagine such a thing? You don't know how grateful am to you for finding this place, It is simply perfect. And l know that Dicky is as grateful 10 you as l am. Do you know he is getting terribly dependent upon you? He has told me so many times that he never in Inc world would have been able to swing this magazine stunt if it had not been for ,he marvellous way in which you have worked and man. aged.
