Filling Out Thin Necks.

Dear Miss Leeds: My neck and arms
are very thin. Would rubbing them
with olive oil make them fatter? I am
not too thin elsewhere. MRS. D.
Answer-MaSsage and exercise will
help build flesh on the thin neck and
arms. but you must also make sure that
you are not below the average weight
for your age and height. Perhaps you
will have TO gain few pounds above
the average before you can get rid of
the boniness. Rubbing oil on the skin
does not build flesh, of course. Exer-
else and massage bring the blood to the
parts to nourish them.
After cleansing the skin, pat the oil
on your chest and neck. Massage with
the palm of your hand in an upward.
rotary direction, starting well down on
the chest; massage the shoulders and
up the back of the neck. Do few
cises daily. Hold your arms out
straight, clinch the fists and twist the
hands at the wrist slowly back and
forth; now, rotate the forearm: lastly,
rotate the whole arm at the shoulder
Exercises with dumb bells and Indian
clubs are good for developing strong
arms. but If you are underweight, too
much exercise will just make you thin

Does Wave Cause Graying?
Dear Miss Leeds: I am 80 years old
and had permanent wave last Sum-
mer. Since then l have noticed num-
Der Of gray hairs. I do not know
whether to have another permanent
this Summer or not. What do you
advise? MRS. j. j. v.
Answer-It is likely that you would
have had the gray hairs anyway. MANY
girls begin to notice gray hairs in their
20s. so you are really fortunate If you
are just beginning to have them now
l would not say, however, that the per-
manent wave did not hasten the gray
ing in your case. If your hair has
tendency to be dry think that curling
it again with heat would probably bring
out more gray hairs. LOIS LEEDS.
Gaining Weight.
Dear Miss Leeds-1 l am Is years
old, feet 4 inches tall and weigh 103
pounds. What should nv weight and
measurements be? ~ Will cod liver
oil increase ones weight and. If not,

Very we'll" said the Judge. and set

At the end of the sitting, the judge

The disconnected dealer was at last
constrained to admit everything, and the
Judge ordered him to be bound to the
stone and left without food or drink

of silver. They were soon returned.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE ELOQUENT STONE.
BY VOLTAIRE.

opher and author, who wrote zadig,' Mi
aromegas,' Candida etc,b
In Egypt was the slave of wealthy
Arabian merchant name Setoc. ladlg
was quite philosophical about having
been sold into slavery. Arab mer-
chants must have slaves. and why
should not I be a slave like another.
seeing that I am a man like another?
This merchant will not be pitilesS, and
he must treat his slaves we'll II he
wishes to get any work out of them" "
So Zadig reasoned wisely to himself.
Setoc.. the merchant, left two days
later for Arabia with his slaves and
camels. His tribe dwelt near the Desert
of Horeb The road was long and diff
ficult. On the journey .Setec showed
much more esteem for the servant of
Zadig than for Zadig-master and serv-
ant had both become SlaVes-because
Zadig's servant looked after the camels
well. All the little marks Of favor,
therefore, were his.
A camel died when they were still
two days Journey away from Horeb,
and its burden was distributed on the
slaves backs. Zadig had his share.
Setoc started laughing when he saw all
his slaves marched with bent backs
Zadig took the liberty Of explaining the
reason to him and OF teaching him the
laws of equilibrium. The aStonlshed
merchant began to look at him from
different angle. zadig. seeing the mer-
chants curiosity stirred. stimulated IT
by telling him many things not irrele-
want to his business, such as the spe-
cihc GRANTEES Of metals and commod-
tiles Of equal bulk. the characteristics
of various useful animals. the means of
making useful such as were not: with
result that the merchant thought him
a very learned man. and gave him pref
erence over his comrade. who previously
he had esteemed so much. He treated
zadig we'll. and had no cause to repent
thereof
The first thing Setoc did when he
reached his tribe was to ask dealer
for the return of 500 ounces Of silver
he had lent him in the presence OF two
witnesses. The two witnesses. however.
had died and the dealer. whose guilt
could not be proved appropriated the
merchants money. thanking the Lord
for giving him the means of cheating
an Arab. Satoc confided his trouble to
zadig, who had become his adviser.
In what place" asked Zadig. did
you lend your 500 ounces of silver to
this infdel?"
ON a large stone" replied the mer-
chant. near Mount Horeb."

When Children Take Parents Things
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

children are always taking their things.
Are the youngsters supplied convenient
ly with other articles less valued, but OF
similar nature. to take when the ex-
ieencies of play or work demand them?
Scissors are particularly sought, and,
in order to protect her best pair,
mother may have to invest in numerous
others of the sort that may cost but
few cents. Plenty of paper and pencils
should be available. A box OF old rib
bons should be relegated to the young
sters. If girls are among them. To make
certain that the tools which belong to
the senior members of the family are
not carried off, there should be some for
the boys to use without question.
If, when such provision is made, there
is failure on the part of the children
to observe the rights of their own and
their parents belongings, something
radical has to be done. What such
punishment should be depends on the
child and the offense, but it should be
something to help him consider the
rights of others.

The Departed.

When Jabez Jinx was borne away to
his long rest beneath the clay, we stood,
a mourning throng, and said he was a
fine old chap, and since he's left this
mundane map we'd miss him right
along. Man after man spoke up in
praise of Jabez and his winning ways,
and of his sterling worth, and re-
marked. with tears half blind, wed
hunt a hundred years to find his equal
on this earth" And when I left the
boneyard road. returning to my cheap
abode, this thought occurred to me: Il
boost poor JabeZ now he's dead. but
nothing of the sort I said while he still
lived. oh. gee!' I wondered why I'd
think to praise that poor Woodworking
cink while he was saving wood; I used
to pass him every day and I would
never pause to say I thought his work
was good He had a sad, discouraged
air. as though his life was full Of care.
which doubtless was the case; he looked
never stop to drive the sorrow from his
face. l knew he was a worthy gent. on
useful. honest labors bent. credit to
the town. but never stopped to tell him
so. for 1 was chasing to and fro, a-run-
ming rubleS down. But now that he is
on his bier, and cannot see, and cannot
hear, I'm ardent in his praise; yea,
tributes large and fine 1 bring, and
make the weary welktn ring with eulo-
CYSTIC phrase. So I resolve that after
this I will increase our human bliss by
praising those who live; l will not walt
until men die ere 1 recite their virtues
high, and my Endorsement give.

from the expression on babies faces q

People genrelly remember the things
they are the most tntristed in, being
why hungry people are usually on time
for meels and why it seems easier to
remember that people owe you money
than what it does TO remember you
owe them some
But on the other hand even If toast
is one of their favorite foods. hardly
anybody ever remembers to take it out
OF the electric toaster before 1t is partly
bernt.
Remembering telefone numbers Is
hard for some people, including some
telefone gerls.
Peoples faces arc easier 70 remember
than their names. but the best way is
tn remember both. because II you re-
member their name and make mis-
take in their face. you can say Excuse
me I thawt you was Mr. Smith. but i
you cant think of their name it don't
sound as polite to say Excuse me

A look at the way the Indians used
