GROW, LITTLE FAT GIRL"
No fat girls need apply for rooms
in the new $4,000 home for young
women to be built in Toledo, o., ac-
cording to terms of a strange will
left by a millionaire of that city.

wording of the will.
No clue Is given as to the reason.
Did a fat girl once do him wrong?
Does he fear that the appetite of
the feminine behemoths may work

male wise, wish to contemplate even
in his grave the gladstone spectacle
of a host of skinny fledglings romp-
ing with flair and verve and elan

AS Faith went about her household
duties on Monday and Tuesday of
the week before the trial was to
start, she could not rid herself of
the conviction that old Phil, the Grip
pied beggar, was somehow connected
with the murder of Ralph Cluny, for
SO unjustly held.
Only few more days, and nothing
nothing, had been done. Churchill
would hardly give her a minute of
his valuable time any more, for she
made him flush uncomfortably as her
cold, grey gaze for ray of genuine
hope which she never saw in them.
After all, what did it really matter
to Churchill if he lost the case? The
newspapers had agreed unanimously
that Banning, the district attorney,
would have a walk-over. Reporters,
now gathering from all over the
country, had devoted columns to
summing up the circumstantial evil
dence against Cherry and Chris
Wiley, dismissing Churchill's efforts
to sustain Cherry's story with what
was little more than shrug. That
they-the reporters and special writ
ers-all liked Cherry, wrote synpa-
thetically and even exclusively of the
plight in which she had found her
self on the eve of her marriage with
an old man when she was infatuated

doubtedly do his best to keep the

on the basis of Cherry's extreme
charm.

no idea of the crippled Pills last

On Tuesday afternoon Faith was
hurrying through the downtown dis
trict on her way to keep one of her
clandestine appointments with Mad
anne Denise, portfolio of sketches
under her arm, when she suddenly
decided to go out of her way to pass
the small city square known as Lin
coin Park.

She Got Rid of Those
Two Bad Mornings

Menstruation is a perfectly natur-
al process, but the painful part is
NEEDLESS. Long study has abso-
lutely conquered menstrual pain.
Science now offers women reliable
and complete relief-in a simple,
utterly harmless tablet called midOl.
This newest achievement of the
laboratory has nothing to do with
drastic, habit-forming drugs that kill
pain by benumbing the whole sys-
tenn. Midol acts directly on the or
CANS affected by menstruation, and
nowhere else. Yet relief and abso-
lutte comfort come in five to seven
minutes!
So, why have a twinge of pain
feel ''low" or even uncomfortable?
Or take anything to depress the
heart or upset the system? All drug
stores have, nnidol in a thin alumni

NEGLECT OF BLIND
DENIED BY OFFICIAL
Mrs. Ida Hirst Gifford's Charge
Refuted by Maj, John D.
Cutter.

Sharp issue is taken by the Vet
Grams Bureau with Mrs Ida Hirst
Clifford, organizing director of the
American Foundation for the Blind
Inc, who in a speech before the
Lions Club here three weeks ago de-
clared the Government had done moth
ing for the blind except furnish text
books for the schools, and added that
blind soldiers had requested q Gov
eminent appropriation of 800 900 for
the purchase of reading material for
the blind, but that this had been
refused.
On behalf of Maj. John d. Gutter.
assistant director, in charge of the
supply service of the bureau, it is
declared that S63,00O has been ex-
pended in the purchase and distribu-
ton of Braille literature in the past
two years.
THESE volumes include wide
range of literature, comprising fiction
history, biography, etc, together with
a number of copies of Funk g. Wag-
nails Standard Dictionary in braille,
and this literature has been distribu-
uted TO the Library of Congress, here,
New York Public Library, Public
Library of Cincinnati, Chicago Public
Library, st. Louis Public Library and
the California State Library" a bu-
reau statement says.
Mrs. Clifford coupled with her speech
a plea that the Lions contribute $524
to have stories written by Helen
Keller placed at the disposal of the
blind, explaining the work of her
organization in furnishing reading
material for the sightless.

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE
ASKS SETTLEMENT FUND
Reclamation Group Urges Interior
Department to Sponsor Grant
for Rural Sections.
By the Associated Press.

81 The AsocIsted Press.
The Interior Department has been
asked by the Southern Reclamation
Conference TO petition Congress for an
appropriation TO carry out a program
of planned group settlements in rural

time the money would find its way
back into the Treasury.
The department recently completed
a survey of the Southern States to
ascertain il model farm communities
would not be feasible and advisable.
After a study of the survey and four
initial experiments made by the Blu
