made their own uniforms as a part
of their club work in clothing con-
struction. About the camp grounds
the girls may wear knickers, but for
sightseeing and other occasions tax
them away from headquarters, skirts
of the same color are to be worn.
The uniforms serve to distinguish the
boys and girls as a group, and also
to prevent any distinctions in respect
to clothes between one member and
another.
There will be an assembly of the
entire group every morning in the
National Museum, to hear a speaker
of note. Some of the speakers, in
addition to Secretary Jardine and
others of the department, are Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant
attorney general, DIR. w. M. Mann of
the Smithsonian Institution, the Hon.
j. J. Tigert, U. S. Commissioner of

things she thinks.
However, do advise you to study
the girl long time before you marry
into a family whose ideals are so
different from your own. Know for
certainty that the girl whom you
love has not merely assumed a pose
of fineness that she really does not
possess, for if she has, sooner or later
she will revert to type. There is no
saying so true as the one which tells
us we cannot make a silk purse out
of a sow's ear, and there would be
small congeniality between you and
the girl if you are always going to
be shocked with her, or if she jars
your ideas of decency.
Remember that your home must
not be merely a place of shelter and
food 1t must be a thing OF beauty,
with no less of the spirit and soul. A
woman must put into it the beauty
of her heart just as truly as a poet
must put it into his song, and if she
has no beauty in her heart, if she is
coarse and vulgar and common-you
cannot hope for happiness.
And remember that when the china
vase and the earthenware pot under

gether, it is always the fine vase that

$50 BOYS AND GIRLS
ATTEND NATIONAL
CAMP OF 4-H CLUBS

Washington, d. c., June IS
Thirty-eight States will be repre-
sented by delegations of four club
members each-two boys and two
girls, accompanied by two extension
wOrkers-at the National All Club
Camp, which opens on June 16 on
the grounds of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and lasts
until June %. Each of these delegates
has been given the opportunity to
participate in the national camp be-
cause of outstanding achievements in
club work. They represent some
$4,000 farm boys and girls in all
parts of the country, who are enrolled
in club work. The States are sending
their representatives to Washington,
either with funds made up of small
sums from club members, or funds
supplied by groups of business men,
or by individuals. The visitors are
to be housed in tents which are al
ready set up near the main buildings
of the department.
The camp will open informally on
Wednesday, June Is, for registration.
The first regular meal will be break
fast on Thursday, June 16. After
that something is planned for every
minute Of every day, beginning with
the sounding of reveille at six o'clock
each morning. The plans include daily
conferences of both the young people
and extension workers on club mat
ters, addresses by numerous disting-
uished people, visits to all branches
of the departments work which bear
on club projects, and educational tours
covering all the important Govern
ment buildings and places of historic
interest. On three mornings limited
groups of bird lovers are invited to
start out at $50 a. m. to observe
methods of conducting bird tours.
While in camp club members will
wear uniforms. The boys will be in

girls in jade green suits with white

BACKACHE

The universal spring symptom, in
these days of house-cleaning, when
the rugs must be beaten and the piano
lifted. Men and women are both
victims-women most often; and the
treatment of any ailment is-to re-
move the cause, and second, to rest
off the present damage.
Backache is either muscular-from
over-work or injury, or from in
famed nerves-neuritis. In women.
especially those that are mothers, it
may come from prolapse of certain
internal organs, which exert a drag
ging down on important nerve
trunks,-if the patient is subject to
much exercise on the feet. The
physician should be consulted, before
serious or chronic condition results.
From "lumbago" to "sciatica" is the
shortest of steps; therefore the ach-
ing back should receive attention at
ITS appearance.
Sometimes a diseased rectum causes
"a lame Dack-the pain being re-
ferred" from an ulcer or hemorr-
holds; the cure comes with removal
of the cause. Rarely do the kidneys
produce baclIache; If so, some form
of calculus may be suspected.
/ OF the local measures for relief
of lame back, we have rest for
the first. Rest will cure sciatic neu-
ritis, if not caused from a remote
lesion. I have cured a number of
refractory cases, by putting the hip
and areas near it in a plaster cast
for two weeks. A good porous
plaster-an old procedure, is worth
trial, if the physician is not nearby.
Good liniments, those that produce
a brisk irritation of the skin are
rational; fortunately, but few lini-
ments absorb very deeply. The
bowels should of course be kept free
| ly open, and the amount of water
usually drank should Be doubled.

pain, should pever be taken without

In plant and animal life, there is

normal type. At first glance, per-
haps the offspring is in every respect
like the parent plant-but closer in
spection reveals many differences
perhaps in the shape of the leaf, the
formation of the petals, or in the
coloring of the flower.
And so it is with human beings
sometimes. The girl you love may
resemble her family in every appar-
ent manner, but deep in her soul she
may be an utter stranger to them
She may have finer thoughts, finer
sensibilities, and a finer sense OF
character than all the rest of hel
family together. And if you love
the girl you will remember that you
are not marrying her family. If she
