Moles Long Cherished ..>
81, as Marks of Beauty

For centuries, it would seem,
moles have been considered real
mark of beauty. The truth of the
matter is, of course, that some peo-
pie with moles are ravishingly
lovely to look at, and some are as
ugly as they can be.
Wyatt, a poet and artist Of the
court Of Henry VIII, says of Anne
BOIeyn, Likewise there were said
to be upon certain parts Of her
body small moles, incident to the
c1earest compilations"
Certain it is that Anne BOfeyn
had a lovely complexion and the
courtiers of the time referred to
her as 'fresh and young"
Santa Teresa's three moles have
come down in history and so far
from being looked upon as blem-
fsh on her beautiful face, they were
considered a contribution to her
beauty. The biographer leaves
nothing to our imagination and
tells us that ''she had three moles
on her left cheek which became her
much-One below the bridge of the
nose, another between her nose and
mouth and a third below her
mouth

Poisoned Food Vainly
Set Out to Kill Rats

Recently a well-known school
teacher in a Lewis (Hebrides) pub
lie school told the following rat
story: "Last spring a family OF
rats invaded his barn. To get rid
OF the undesirable visitors. he got
a supply of rat poison and spread 1t
one night on the floor of the out
house, thereafter locking the door
to prevent any of his domestic anil
mails entering and eating the food.
Next morning, he found. to his
amazement. the untouched food.
covered over with layer of chaff
which was lying in heap near at
hand. He asked his wife If she
had been to the barn, but was an.
swered in the negative. However.
on the following night he first re-
moved thes heap Of chaff and put
down the poisoned food as before.
On the following morning he was
further mystified to find the food
untouched, but on this occasion 1t
was covered with piece of old
isacking which was lying in a cor
ner Of the: premises. Next night
the rats took their departure.

giving for blessings of plenty and
provision against the needs of win
ter. They came by custom to look
to the chief magistrate to set apart
a day of prayer and praise, where
on their thanks as a united people
might be given with one voice in
unison. God has greatly blessed
us as a nation in the year now
to a close. The earth mas
yielded an abundant harvest in
most parts of our country. The
fruits of industry have been of
unexampled quantity and value.
Both capital and labor have en-
joyed an exceptional prosperity.
Assurances of peace, at home and
abroad, have been strengthened
and enlarged. Progress has been
made in provision against prevent
able disasters from flood and pesti-
lence. Enlightenment has grown
apace in new revelations of scienti-
fic truth and in diffusion of knowl-
edge. Educational opportunities
have steadily enlarged. Enduring
advances have been gained in the
protection of the public health.
Childhood is measurably more Sc
cure. New experience and new
knowledge in many fields have
been recorded, from which a deep
er wisdom may grow. We. should
accept these blessings with. resolu-
ton. to devote them to service of
Almighty God.
Now, therefore, I, Herbert Hoov-
er, President of the United States
of America, do appoint and set
aside Thursday, the twenty-eighth
day of November, as day of ma
tional Thanksgiving, and do recon-
mend that all our people on that
day rest from their daily work that
they should extend to others less
fortunately placed, a share in their
abundance, and that they gather
at their accustomed places of wor-
ship, there to render up thanks to
Almighty God for His many bless
ings upon them, for His forebear-
ance and goodness.
In witness whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the United
States. .t.-a ..s

st. Paul, Nov. 6-"Heart Disease

favorable practices for the care of
the heart" states the bulletin is.

the heart beat over that which is
normal is observed. This increas-

to produce the greater energy need

1.-THE blood flow through the
hand has been measured when a
man becomes hot and found to be
five times as fast as that of the
normal flow. In order to keep, up
this abnormal condition there is a
considerable expenditure of ner-

the sympathetic nervous system,

1t is a serious thing to exhaust the
strength of this system.

al strain which school children un-

in overheated school rooms for the
greater part of the day.! Some
schools are now establishing classes
for children with heart trouble
Such classes are invariably held in
the open air. While it is true that
the absence of fresh air is not the
primary cause of heart defects, it
plays most important secondary
part and is recognized as a nee
essary condition for the cure of
heart disease and for the prolonga-
ton of life in cases that are not

Anemia

There are many different causes
of anemia. Various forms of par
asites or bacteria may invade the
blood and cause a destruction of
the blood corpuscles. This type of
anemia is seen in malaria and in
certain forms of blood poisoning.
In other cases of anemia the blood
cells are destroyed by some poison
circulating in the blood. This type
of anemia is seen in lead poison
ing, in tuberculosis and in bright's
disease. Anemia is also produced
by constant loss of blood. Such
loss of blood may be due TO an ul-
Ger or to blood-sucking parasites,
such as hookworm.

Q.N.S).--As mysteriously as It
came, a motor yacht, said by
Coastguardsmen to be the Mouette,

and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh,
slipped out OF the harbor here to-
day, after but a few moments stop.
The destination of the yacht or
whether the team of 1--WE" was
aboard were not known.
The yacht entered the harbor
under cover of darkness last night
about o'clock. When the haze
off shore lifted today, the lookout
in the tower at the Coastguard base
here picked out the word Mouette
on the yacht through his glasses.
The craft was anchored about a
mile off shore. No one came
ashore.
The lookout said he could see
one man on the deck. He thought
the man resembled Lindbergh, but
was not sure.
Before small boats could be put
out to the craft, the lone man
aboard weighed anchor and left
the harbor.
He headed toward the sea and
the direction he took after going
out of sight of land was not known.
