BIZ THE COUNSELLOR.

II, Jane Park, bequeath all my
worldly goods to my husband"
This brief viii, drawn by Mrs. Park,
was found among her effects upon her
death.
Her son John, realizing that If the
term worldly goods" did not include
real estate ne would receive half in
terest in his mothers valuable proper
ties, filed suit to have the will properly
interpreted
His counsel argued that technically
the term goods" applied only to per-
sonal property
The court, however, held that the
term included both real and personal
property, stating:
I'm constituting will, the court must
ascertain the intention of the teStator
If the language is clear, it should be
given its natural meaning. Courts
should not make a will different from
that of the testator
Having written her own will, 1t will
be presumed that the language en-
ployed by her was meant to be taken
in the sense in which it is understood
by people generally, and not according
to the technical meaning which would
be given to it by the legal profession
The term worldly goods for 400
years has been employed to include
worldly possessions, and we are of the
opinion that Mrs. Park so employed it,

Moles.
Dear Miss Leeds: Cd What is the
cause of flesh moles and how may they
be treated at home? CD How can
make my hair thicker? BET.
Answer: % The cause of moles Is
unknown. The best home treatment
is to leave them strictly alone. 1t is
dangerous to tamper with them, as they
may become infected. If yours are I'M
slightly, have them removed by ply
sician. (2) Hair health depends a good
deal on ones general health. Be sure
that your weight is normal, and that
you live hygienically from day to day.
For local treatment massage your
scalp for 10 minutes a day. Brush
your hair thoroughly and do not curl
with hot irons oftener than twice

scribing the condition and care of your

BEAUTY CHATS
Licensed Beauty Shops.

am looking forward to the day when
all men and women who open beauty
shops, either for treatments or even
the sale of beauty lotions, will have to
pass a State examination to show their
qualifications.
Medical doctors have to do this, of
course. 1t would seem unthinkable
that State could be so uncivilized as
to allow any man to practice medicine
who did not know his. job. But it
hasn't been so very long since osteo-
paths were neither recognized by the
State laws nor asked to pass the State
examination, though hundreds had
flourishing practices. In England they
are not recognized yet, with the result
that any one can. call himself an osteo-
path, and many do SO, to the annoy
ance of the very good ones who prac-
tice there.
Nor was chiropody recognized until
lately. Yet a bad chiropodist, working
with dirty instruments, can bring on
fatal blood poisoning by an injudicious
cut. Midwifery, practiced by stupid and
dirty handed women, resulted in thou
sands of deaths of mothers and babies
until some rather recent intelligence
was brought to bear on this subject.
