PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
By WILLIAM BRADY, VI. ID.

! but 1 am health expert enough to
assure you that adding alleged anti
septic chemicals to soap is a trick for
which | will never thank anybody, in
case l ever do use any soap.
OF course, ! do use quite a little
soap. In fact. l firmly believe that it
would be a boon to public health If
soap were more commonly used in the
proper way. Note I do not say that
we should use more soap. I doubt
whether we should consume any more
soap than we consume now, but
have q strong conviction that we
waste more than enough soap to keep
the hands of the people sanitarily
clean.
One way in which we waste the
soap is in the form of dentifrices-
tooth cleaning concoctions. They are
all soap, mainly. And it is a pleas
ure for me, though painful to some
people. to note that some dentists,
physicians and scientific health
authorities now conclude that brush
ing the teeth does not save the teeth.
Good scientific tests have fairly we'll
proved that the barber's lather is an
excellent protection against the spirO.
chete or germ of syphilis. That's
plain soap.
Plain soap and water washing is

fashioned equipment. no matter what

using the tub.
Plain soap is a reliable antiseptic

Plain soap, in my opinion. is the
only disinfectant aside from fresh air

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, June 2.

Astrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unimportant day in planetary di-
reCtion, and, therefore, time to be
cautious.
For those who have attained sue
cess, the planetary rule is fairly for
tunate, but they must expect many
conditions that are causes for anxiety.
The planetary government makes
for the seething and boiling of human
thought, always a dangerous cOndi-
tion that threatens world peace.
In the falling away of old ideas and
the changing of established forms,
many sacrifices must be made to prog
reSs. the seers point out.
There is a sign menaCing to old ira
ditions and disturbing to persons of
middle age or more.
For the United States the prophets
foretell tremendous advancement
that adds to it's prominence as q
world power.
This is held to be for women a time
of preparation for great service, an
intermediate time in which they
awaken to their full possibilities in
world service.
Beauty of spirit as we'll as body is
to be gained in the coming decade, it
is prognosticated, for the peak of ma
terial aspiration has been attained
If the stars are read Alright, color
schemes in dress are to express a
finer feeling and to be less pro-
nounced.
Many signs of adjustment and
stabilization in the United States are
seen by those who read the stars.
Thrift is to be practiced as never
before by the great mass of Ameri-
cans, who will gradually adhere to
less extrayagant ideals of living.
Outdoor exercise is supposed to be
especially efficacious while this rule
prevails.
Persons whose birth date it is may
have a few anxieties connected with
lands or property, but the coming
year should be fairly successful.
Children born on that day have
happy dispositions and are full of
ambition.

CHAPTER XXI.
Jill's Chance.

Miss Bishop was leaving the Bulle-
tin. She was the best woman reporter
the Bulletin had ever possessed.
The managing editor had been dis
gusted when she told him she was
going to be married.
"Why don't you go on with your
work." he suggested eagerly.
But she had shook her head.
"red doesn't want me to work,
she said sweetly.
He looked at her narrowly. She
had never been so sweet when he had
sent her on an assignment, and she
was just the type of woman they
needed. Her frail. blond prettiness
disarmed people when she was sent
on interviews. No one suspected the
brains underneath. They would never
be able to get any one like her.
That was why he listened the next
morning when Hector came up to tell
him about Jill.
at won't take much of your time
to give her an interview Hector
urged eagerly. Il may be wrong, but
l don't think So
The managing editor rather liked
young Brooks. He had a dogged per
sistency that nearly always got him
his story.
OF course, the boy had probably
fallen" for this girl, but his logic
was all right. 1t would do no harm
to see her.
And so it was arranged. Jill went
to see the editor of the Bulletin two
days after her talk with Hector.
She explained to the boy outside
who asked a lot of questions about
what she wanted that she had an APP
pointment with Mr.. Merrill. That
made things easier, and moment later
he was plotting her across the city
room. She was conscious of a great
many desks in queer positions about
the place. Men sat at those desks,
most of them with green shades over
their eyes The place fairly hummed
with action.
Then she found herself beside the
managing editors desk. He half rose
and waved her to a chair while he
continued with some other business.
She had chance to study him at her
leisure.
He had a keenly clever face, and she
had n feeling that he would see
through all pretense. When he turned
to her suddenly, she was conscious of
dark eyes under beetling brows look
ing directly into hers, but she didn't
finch.
He saw a girls face with a small.
straight nose and strangely beautiful
eyes. But the thing that impressed
him most was her mouth and chin.
To any one in love with her, her
mouth would appear beautiful. But
it was belied by the firmness of her

Final Bid ............ Played by

finesse in Hearts Immediately, the
trick is taken with the ten in Dummy
rather than with the seven in his own
hand.
Trick g. Declarer can now count
on three Heart tricks, two Spades,
two Clubs and one Diamond, eight
in all. The trick needed for game
may be possible in Spades, either by
finesse of the Jack or by establishing
a long Spade, or 1t may be that a
second trick can be obtained in Dia-
monds. The Spade finesse is tried
first
Trick Z. East is now marked with
the King and Jack Of Hearts; from the
fall of the ten of Spades he probably
has two of that suit left and conse-
quently three Diamonds. 1t is too
late to try TO make the Queen of
Diamonds for the game trick, for If
West has the King he will make it
and bring in the three Clubs. But if
East can he forced TO play to the
three Clubs and the Ace of Diamonds
he must discard either a Spade or a
Heart, and Declarer make the extra
trick in whichever suit is discarded.
Accordingly, South puts West in with
a Club.

I should say not. I'm getting my les
sons for the university classes to-
morrow. If you want a cake at this

to make big one. You'll just be

this simple rule of nature.

Wash the face gently with
Palmolive. Massage its balmy olive
and palm oil lather into the skin.

for keeping that schoolgirl complexion.

The Bracelet Fad.

The bracelet craze, which goes on as
enthusiastically this year as last, has
one great danger-it encourages the
girl with a small allowance of money
TO buy a new cheap bracelet every
week or SO, until her arm is laden with
a tinny collection of imitation gold
and glass bands, having no merit,
either artistically or fashionably.
You may wear as many bracelets on
one arm as your sense of good form
allows. But if you want to be really
smart, you will wear instead a pair of
antique bracelets on the left arm, and
no other jeweiry. not even a fancy
ring. Wedding and engagement rings
are an exception.
If you are fortunate enough to
possess any oId-fashioned jewelry,
treasure it carefully, no matter what
your private opinion of it is. Any
brooch or chain made before 1870 is
valuable. There is limited amount
of old jewelry. 1t is hard to initiate
today and not worth while except in
very expensive pieces. So If you have
any great aunts or a grandmother
owning old bits, show your apprecia-
ton, and you may one day profit by
