Churches.

THE situation in Mexico as 1t bears

Continuing, the letter says:
I'm such a crisis it is most fitting
that we should unite our prayers with
those Of other Christian bodies that
there may come speedy relief and the
lifting of burdens too heavy to be
borne. There is such a thing as fell

No liquor, Don. I never touch it,'
 Thy will be done. Teddy. Here. I'll fill it up with pure sweet juice. All right"
 "Fine"
 Teddy was lifting the drink to her lips. but stopped midway. Diana Brooks with John Walden, Jr., at her elbow, had entered the room.
 Both Teddy and Don started DIana's greeting was thick. Her mann,r was one Of exaggerated huoyancy. She lurched slightly as she held out q hand to Teddy.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 The definite causes Of simple bald ness are uncertain and there is much room for speculation. As result, all sorts of factors are in volyed to explain it. from the wear ing of tight hats to improper meth ods Of breathing. Some would go so far as to say that there Is no such thing as hereditary badness and to attribute all Of the cases to seborr- heic dermatitis or inflammation nd | dandruff.
 This is an extreme view: but , certainly the ravages of dandruff have to be taken into account in all eases Of badness, and in con- sidering the causes of the conii- ton no separation can be made to- tween simple badness and that due 10 dandruff.
 Dandruff can be controlled in most cases by the simple hyG'e enc of the scalp that has been recom- mended and by suitable treatment applied under competent advice. Unfortunately most people over- do the matter Of making appl!ca- tions 10 the scalp, applying strong alcoholic hair tonics and washing the hair far too frequently.

 "Poetizing Dia?"
 Walden tried to keep his voice free of cyniclsm, but his thin lips were drawn back over his teeth in a sheer. Diana, standing in the shadows, did not sec his face.
 "Th' wages of gin is hreaths and headaches, and oh, such a horrid state all around"
 The girl spoke lightly. but her voice was edged with a tinge Of sadness as she snuggled down in the front seat and stretched out her tire limbs. Walden started the motor.

 The cool night air flaming her face made her drowsy. She dozed off. She was jcrked back to wake fulness by the cessation of the motors throh. Walden had stopped the car.
 Anything wronc?" she asked, straightenirE up.
 Instead of replying In words Walden flung an arm around her waist pinioning her to him.
 Please don't do that Diana pleaded, mild terror assail'ng her. The next moment she realized the fu-ility Of pleading. Tho beast in John Walden was unleashed. He was passionately kissing her throat, her lips, unmindful of the cirl's slender hands pushing against him.
 Struggling in his embrace she managed 10 loosen one of her arms and found the knob of the door. She opened it and then bringing all the power she could summon to her aid struck her fist into Walden's face. A thin stream of red tricklcd down to the mans lips. But Diana did not see that, She was running down the road, back in the direction of the Brad hurst Country club.
