L. W.: The stout woman with a
round face should avoid turbans and
choose hats with a brim.- The brim
should not be too narrow, but should
extend beyond the facial outlines.
The crowns should not be round and
should be wider than the face.
J. B. j.: Depilatories are the pop

Now about that, boy who loves you
and whom you don't love. IL you
could make him happy by giving up
your own happiness and pretending
that you love him, it might be worth
considering. But you couldn't make
him happy that way. In the end you
would only make him more miser-
able. You are absolutely mistaken
when you think that an arrangement
based on deception could make him
happy. Love is something that can't
be counterfeited. You might pretend
to love him, but there's all the diff
ference in the world between q pre-
tended love and real love. He
would feel the difference. He might
not know just what was the matter,
but he would feel it and il would
make him unhappy. You can see for
yourself what a big difference il
would make to man whether his
wife loved him with all her heart and
was thinking of his happiness all the
time and doing things because she
loved him or whether she was trying
to be nice to him and make him think
she loved him just because she pitied
him. In the end he would find out
that she didn't really love him and
then he would have grounds for tell.

"Bossiness"

If you have the faintest idea that
you're clever by being bossy, you'd
better change that idea quickly.
Oh, yes, man might get momen-
tary thrill out of fit of "bossiness"
from his sweetheart He might even
get angry over the idea that she's in
terested enough to dictate his actions.
But when he begins to think serious
ly of selecting mate, he most stren-
uously objects to bossy woman. II
anyone's to be boss, he'll be it.
Men like peace in their homes.
There's enough discord outside. And
what, | ask you, is more nerve-rack-
ing to man than wife who is con-
tinually driving and nagging?
Don't grumble, sister, if your beau
or husband turns to some restful and
understanding woman. It's your own
fault. ..

Gold Produced Not
Worth What 1t Cost

Though there is now about $9,000,-
100000 worth of gold in the possession
of man, it is generally accepted as
fact that the gold that has been taken
out of the earth is not worth what
has been spent in its pursuit.
Many men have spent lifetimes in
the hunt for gold and have never
found it. Innumerable shafts have
been run into lonesome mountain
sides that have never encountered pay
dirt. He who wanders among the
solitudes of the Rockies, for example,
is quite likely to encounter the scars
on the hillsides left by prospectors
who have worked claims that never
produced. The occasional claim has
proved to be bonanza. The coca
sional strip of sand has yielded its
yellow dust most proftably for time.
On the whole, however, more has
been spent in the quest for gold than
was ever realized from it.-W1lliam
A. Du Puy in Current History.

average price of $16.45 per hundred
weight. The Frederick county club
members received $1,733.16 for their
eight baby beeves.
Sixteen of the animals sold at
Hagerstown were of the Angus breed
Their average weight was 1,019
pounds and the average price paid for
them was $16.68 per hundredweight.
The other animals were Hereford and
Shorthorn breeding, the former
averaging $40 pounds on the scales
and bringing an average price of $16.-
sc per hundredweight, and the latter
weighing GIG pounds on the average
and selling at an average figure of
S15.04 per hundredweight.
The champion steer in the Hagers-
town sale, raised by James Speilman,
was an Angus, weighing LOTS pounds
and selling at $22.25 per hundred
weight. The champion steer in the
Frederick show and sale was a Here
ford, weighing 1910 pounds and SELL
ing at $1,000 per hundredweight.
The production of baby beef invol-
yes methods very different from those
followed by beef cattle feeders of the
State. Records of feed costs kept by
the club members, however, indicate
that there is a good margin of profit
on the better finished animals.
The demonstration of this particu-
lar type of beef cattle production in
Maryland is regarded as very salts
factory, according to Mr.. Clark, and is
expected to appeal to more All club
members next year. 1t is probable
that the sale of the animals will be
transferred to the Union Stock Yards,
Baltimore, another year to take adj
vantage of the better facilities there
and the improved opportunity of
reaching buyers.

of the boxes and begin to eat. They
had descended upon him whooping
and yelling to scare him, and had
chased him as far as the railroad
track.
AS the search for the snake had
been fruitless among the lunch boxes,
they concluded that the tramp must
have taken it and clambered down the
bank to investigate.
Reaching the place and finding the
box gone the professor remembered
seeing the farmer pick up package
and drive away.
If he wanted that snake he must
ride back to town in hurry before
some one who didn't appreciate snakes
should kill it.
OF course the professor did not
know the farmer, but had noticed that
the horses were poorly matched; one
being large and white, and the other
small and dark.
On with the chase!
Through the dust and heat-up one
street and down another, around cor
ners and in empty lots-behind big
buildings, until finally, with the aid
of the local policeman whom he had
enlisted in the cause, he found the
team in the livery stable. The wagon
stood outside with the farmer beside
it.
Pardon me for troubling you,"
painted the tired professor. But have
you seen my snakes? l mean-you

didn't you? Well, there was a snake
in it" and he told his story.

mo. Yes, there was, too! Harry

He'll think he's got 'em sure when
he opens that box. 1 was too busy
to wait on him, and he just took the
box and left"
"Where does he live? We must get
to him before he opens it. The fright
might be too much for him in his con-
dition."
The four men almost ran to the
rooming house where Hamilton lived.
They found him sitting in a rocker
in the act of untying the box on his
knees.
Don't open itr shouted the po-
liceman.
81 felt something move in there"
murmured Hamilton.
"Of course you did" cried the pro-
fessor, "it's a snake!'
But the warning came to late-the
box fell open, and onto the knees of
the startled man rolled a big, black
thermos bottle and half-dozen
doughnuts.
where's my snake?" demanded the
professor.
you can search me, professor"
mumbled Hamilton, as he rolled over
onto the couch for nap.
Sure enough, where was the poor
reptile that had caused all the trou-
Bile? Why CURED up in the box under

The Father of Soda Water.

From the United States comes the suggestion that It IS nigh time some lasting memorial was devised to the inventor of soda-water The pro- posal, made in scientific journal published in Washington, is that the name of Joseph Prestley should be eommemorated in every school by ca fountain flowing freely with the beverage that carbonates but does not inebriate." That is a very httlng and natural proposal to come from a country which is legally committed to take it's
 soda-water without admixture and there is no
 doubt that in supplying the teetotaler with
 those "beaded bubbles winking at the brimo
 which had formerly been the decoration only
 of fermented drinks Priestley made a useful
 contribution to civilization. But it is not easy
 to isolate this incidental activity from the many
 others In Which that extraordinary man engaged
 ana or which some are still great deal more
 controversial than is the enlivening of

 said to have carbonated the whole atmosnbere
