WANTED: AN ANGEL

for ANGEL Not the celestial kind with FURNISHED
wings and a harp drumming out hymn tunes some
distant cloud, with quill in band laboriousy
jotting down naughty deeds in pondcrous docket nor
again with flaming sword to discourage trespassers
nor with trumpet summonng the multitudcs to
judgment.
But cn angel of flesh and blood who has made a
killing in oil or motors rubber radio and has
forced Wall Street to close Saturday to count his
winnings. Or a lady angel, spinster preferred, who
has inherited it all from father and would disappoint
the distant cousins waiting for her to die An angel
who feels in his her heart the first murmurngs of
desire to serve.
An angel who might be convinced that if an object
or movement doesn't go forward it must go backward
and all it needs is push from him her. An angel
who could be impressed with the unhappy lot Of
orphans the need of art in nice museum, or milk
for infants and ice for the aged beds for the vagrants
the Importance Of week of grand opera an end6w
ment for the church, college, school, library hospital
If such angel could be found, what saving in
postage stamps and folders, and enthusiasm dinners
and publicity experts and luncheons for the teams
sidewalk pounding and doorbell pushing by campaign
solicitors, and digging down in the we-worn pocket
for the rest of us.

CURING TRAFFIC CONGESTION ,
(Sunset Magazine)


It's getting worse, brethren. OF the condition
that is arousng apprehension is the congestion of
vehicular traffic busy streets In Seattle or Los
Angeles in San Francisco Portland and Denver often
requires ten minutes to travel three or four blocks
during the rush hours. And during the pre-holiday
season the jam will pc than ever now that
Henry's plant is going full steam again.
However. the person who is most vitality affected
by this condition is not the who squeezes, jerks
and cusses his way home at $40 p m. The individual
who should contemplate the growing congestion with
is happening: In every large city real estate values
have shifted shifting from the old business center
to new subsidiary centers far out toward the suburbs
where traffic is not dangerously heavy and free park
ing space may be found occasionally. Traffic conges-
ton has already cost the landowners of the old bust
ness districts millions of dollars. It will cost them
many millions unless the downtown areas are
rapidly equipped with many skyscraper garages in
which cars can be parked rapidly, efficiently and
cheaply.
That's one way Of preserving established property
values. Of efficient traffic and parking control
is necessary; trucking and deliveries must be shifted
far more extensively into the night hours Through
traffic from one section of the city to the other must
be ured guided and pushed around instead of through
the congested elevated depressed pedestrian
crossings must be provided at the worst intersections
the streets are to handle the evergrowng stream Of
motor vehicles.
There's one, other way of accomplishing results
Raise the price Of gasoline to so cents gallon and
make five gallons the smallest sales unit.

know the relative proportions of their male and female
depositors And only small percentage Of those who
awake to the state of affairs have done any,

Christmas and vacation savings funds have done much

There is an old saying that great crisis will pro-
duce great leader, and if this is true it should follow
that leader measuring up to the requirements OF any
situation, critical otherwise, will arise out OF it.
This opinion offered in the face of statements that
recent deaths have taken from presentday ranks most
of those worthy of being called leaders, This attitude
appears to be unjust and indication Of fail
to take into consideration qualities that
the sole possession Of any generation and which pass
away with the departure Of those whom their contem
ppraries regard as great and conspicuous figures.
They forgot the time when they, younger men,
befs-of the citizenry heard the same criticism from
older men, who peered back at leaders whom they had
idozed and had passing on, and who looked with
those to whom the youthful element
pinned their hopes. At all times it is the person whom
age has made little ripper that the just beneath

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Mucus From the Throat
Question:: A. G. asks: "What
makes person clear his throat so
often? / do not breathe through my
mouth but I have to clear my throat
about every ,fivc minutes"
Answer: Your trouble is either
caused from catarrh or it may have
developed into habit.
Nervous Indigestion
Question: Mrs. NJ. V. asks:
"What is nervous indigestion
Answer: There is doubtless such
condition which can be called
nervous Indigestion" and this is
caused by enervation from too much
mental or emotional excitement. In
most cases, that which is called
6, -rvous indigestion" is really
caused by dietetic and hygienic mis-
takes which make the person nerv-
Gus. Nervousness thus induced has
an additional bad effect in disturbing
digestion. Send large, stamped, self
addressed envelope and ask for my
article, "A Curative Diet" 1t will

Question: - A. M. writes: "Please
vantage in sleeping in place where
out of doors, that is, in an ordinary
tent at the beach, during the winter
months. I know of children who
have slept out during the summer
months and their health was greatly
improved, but was a little doubtful
about the winter months, as they
are subject to pulmonary tubercu-
losis."
Answer: There is a decided J.
vantage in sleeping in place where
one can receive plenty of fresh air,
but this does not necessarily have to
be cold air. The body should be kept
warm and often when one sleeps out
of doors in cold climate it is neces-
sary to use SO much covering that
the body becomes tired from the
weight Of it. 1t is just as well to
sleep indoors and use lighter bed
covering, keeping the windows open,
allowing a steady flow Of fresh air
through the room.

sweet milk, a cup and half of seed
less raisins, and a teaspoonful of
vanilla extract. Pour into custard
cups, being careful to distribute the
raisins evenly. Place the cups in a
shallow pan of hot water and bake
in moderate oven until custards
are slightly brown on top.
You will find that the raisins make
the custard sweet enough without
adding sugar or honey.
Sufficient for six portions, and
may be served with little whipped
cream if desired.
