SUMMERTIME
BY d. C. PEATTK.

Old-fashioned gardens almost In
evitably contained a bed Of garden
balsam, and for the life of me I can
not see why any one ever thought the
fat, shapeless, loll-polled things, with
their insipid colors, were worth the
ground that they were grown in every
Summer Of grandmothers life.
But in the deep woods and along
the pools, in the dark, mucky earth
where the midges dance in the emerald
lights beneath the elms of swampy
woods, there comes to flower now the
wild balsam, which Is better called the
touch-me-not.
There Is not a stranger or a daintier
blossom that hangs out its nectar on
the sleepy. bee-winged airs of Sum-
mer day than the touch-me-not. with
its blossoms of a horn-of-plenty shape.
ending in long spur. where the nectar
is stored away-the honeyed plenty
in the fairy horn.
We have two species only In our
fora, compared with almost hundred
in India and some other tropical
countries. The common species is
orange, thickly potted with reddish
brown, and with reddish stems. The
other is a more ethereal thing, with
stems pale green as luna moths wing,
and almost transparent, and flowers
of a clear, pale yellow, slightly spotted
with brownish red.
Children's fingers never weary Of
touching the pale green fruits Of touch
me-not. For when they are plump and
ripe the slightest pressure will make
the pods rupture, and the seeds are
hurled forth into the air. Such Is the
cunning device Of the wild balsam
flower for sending its children forth,
and doubtless wind and rain will burst
the pod in time.

Town Loyalty.

At home in Punktown I deplore q
lot of things most every day; the citi-
zens can hear me roar with ardor, as
60 my way. I criticize the bonehead
lads who run our village government,
bewail the old ways of our dads-the
new ways aren't worth cent. I write
long letters to the press denouncing
things at every chance, and pointing
out the grim distress that's caused by
cilmen would spend some money for
a village pump, and ask, When will
this orgy end? Is Punktown headed
for the Dump" But when I go away
from home, as sometimes I am prone
to 60, in faroff bailiwicks to roam,
boost old Punktown to and fro. visit
Squashville- in the-Hay, a village that
is not SO bad, and citizens come up
and say, What think you Of our gor-
geous grad? We think she has all
rivals skinned, she's diamonds as COM
pared with glass; you'd journey to the
furthest Ind and find no village in her
class" "She has her points, must adj
nit" I have at such town declared,
but she would never make a hit if
she with Punktown were compared. I
would not run your village down, I'd
not depreciate her worth, but Punktown
is the noblest town that ever grew on this
old earth. Her councilmen are great and
wise, and her officials are the best;
the place is full of happy guys who
think existence there is bleSt. In Punk
town you will find no faint of criticism
in the air; the voters never make COM
plant or wiring their hands or rend
their hair" And then to Punktown
return, and kick around just as of old:
rank evils make my spirit burn, and
rear up and rant and scold.

once. If you want hard-boiled eggs
but have not time to let them cook
a half hour-alloW the sand to run
through the glass twice. Start the
sand running through a third time,
and after it is about halfway through,
take the eggs out.
There is an inexpensive egg holder
that makes 1t possible to boil eggs
when putting In and Simplifles the task
of taking them from the water. 1t is
always best TO start eggs cooking in
actively boiling water. This is espe-
cially desirable for hard-boiled eggs as
it keeps the eggs from sticking 70 the
shells. Eggs should be dipped into
cold water or cold water should be run
over them as soon as they have been
taken from the water. If they are TO
be sent to the table this should be done
as otherwise they will be hot TO touch.
An inexpensive egg slicer is very use
full when you want to make trim, neat
slices of hard-cooked eggs for salads
or garnishes. The eggs should be
cooked 80 minutes. plunged in cold
water, cooled thoroughly and then
shelled. Then place an egg in the hol-
low of the cutting device and bring the
hinged section down firmly over it to
cut the egg in neat, even slices.
Coddled eggs are cooked in water
kept below the boiling point. The
water should be allowed to boil, then
taken from the fire at the same time
that the egg is lowered into the water.
The pan should be covered and the egg
left in the water for five minutes.

was very sick and miserable during my
last years. I could scarcely get out OF
my bed. For the past few days I had
been confined to my bed-beSideS, II
was very cold in the Winter outside. and
the ocean had frozen over so that hun
dreds of young people were enjoying
themselves with ice sports near my hut
could sometimes see them from my
window, and would watch them.
Then suddenly I saw a white cloud
rise up over the horizon. In the center
Of the white cloud saw black spot
which grew larger and larger. Now
knew that to be a sign, bad omen. It
meant that an awful tempest was COM
ing and that there would be spring
flood and the Ice would all break up.
Those young people on the ice would

pref 1t. shuddered. would have to
warn them, but how? I could hardly
leave my bed-and If crawled could
never be in time, and besides, they
might pay no attention to me.
"At last I had an inspiration.
decided to set fire to my house. The
young girls and boys would all see il
and come neutrality-suspicious. they would
come to save me from the flames So
did that set fire to my bed, and the
flames leaped up and soon the whole
hut was ablaze. I managed to crawl
to the door and saw that all the young
people did indeed come running. I was
just in time, too. for the storm broke
about them, and the ice began to break
up Immediately.
II suppose I was too old to bear all
the excitement and the extreme cold,
so came up here to the gates of Para
disc. I am told they sometimes let in
poor old creatures like me. Now have
no house down by the sea-though I
don't suppose that makes any difference
here, one way or the other"
Then the gates Of Paradise opened,
and an angel led the old woman in. She
left a straw behind her, from the bed
which she had set af1re to warn the
young people-and that straw had been
transmitted to the pureSt gold.
You have seen what this old woman
brought" said the angel to the critic.
What do you bring? On earth you
accomplished nothing. You did nothing
but pick flaws in the accomplishments
OF others. II you could have made only
one brick, however, poorl But 1t Is too
late now-I cannot help you
The old woman then spoke up and
said: ut was his brother who gave me
the bricks with which I built my humble
hut by the sea. Gould not all the bricks
his brother gave me allow him little
credit also? His brother was merciful.
Let him come in on the strength Of his
brothers good deeds"
The angel said: stay, then, but re-
member that you owe this admission to
that eldest brother, whom you most
despised. You can stand without the
gate to reflect upon your life. Perhaps
you will yet accomplish something,
though at the very gate of Heaven"
IT could have said that in better
words" thought the critic, but he did
not find fault aloud. For him, after all,
that was something!

ScantY Hair.

A thinning Of the hair on top Of
the head Is warning that should be
needed at once, because 1t is pretty
sure to be followed by badness. The
heavy masses Of hair that women used
to wear on the backs Of their heads
have been blamed for causing this
beauty problem, but the fact that some
bobbed-haired women and most men
complain of this thinning over the
that long hair Is not the principal
cause of 1t.
The truth Of the matter probably
Is that threatened badness comes from
lack Of local care, lack Of physical flt-
ness and from hereditary causes. An
indoor, sedentary life, combined with
a nervous, worrying disposition may
very well cause thinning of the hair In
many cases. Besides the finding and
If possible the eliminating Of the in
ternal cause of the trouble, the use of
certain scalp treatments is often very
helpful.
Applications Of crude oil to the scalp
have been used for many years to
check falling hair. The good effects
Of the treatment cannot be denied, but
fastidious women nowadays usually
balk at the use Of such an il-smelling
substance. To be most effective 1t
should be applied all over the scalp a.
bedtime. The scalp should be mas
saged, and the oil left on over night. A
bathing cap may be used to protect
ones pillow. Next morning saturate
the hair and scalp with olive oil and
steam several times with hot towels.
Shampoo thoroughly with tincture of
green soap. This may be done once
a week.
Another treatment for thinning hair
that may be preferred by those who OBJ
ject to the peculiar odor Of crude oil

Home Brings Out Fine Qualities
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

hands, but of qualities, and the corner
stone Is this all-important and vital
element of love.
So long as love remains home is a
sanctuary. It is o place where under
standing Is mutual, where mental rest
as we'll as physical is found, where
common interests cement lives togeth-
er, where thoughts of life are always
inclusive of those others who compose
some restrictions, but of common veal,
where each member wants the best for
every one.
II this sounds ::.Ssalistic 1t should be
remembered that love is ideal as well
as real. 1t helps one to see the finest
qualities, even where they are small or
we'll hidden, and this is the ideal ele-
ment. 1t helps to bring out these finest
qualities In ones self and in others.
This is the real element.
1t is not to be expected that home
life will always run without rippleS of
troubles and occasional whirlpools Of
disaster. What is to be expected Is that
these will be passing phases that do
not wash away the foundation of love,
although they break against it.
It is only when disloyalty, self-in-
tereSt, diStrust and other disintegrating
elements get to work that the founda-
ton crumbles. In this present age
there is a marked tendency for hus-
bands and wives to help in this de-
struction by rushing into divorce suits
instead of waiting a bit and trying to
see if the distressing circumstances are
not temporary only and that love Is
firm after all. Many a husband and
many a wife finds out after the sepa-
ration has been granted that the old
love exists. Occasionally there are re-
marriages of divorced couples, giving
evidence that this is true, but apart
from these few exceptions the sorry
persons wend their lives to the end with
q knowledge of their mistake and no
power to rectify 1t.
Since love is the precious and beauti-
full foundation on which a home Is
built it should be cherished as the
valuable thing that it Is. 1t is worth
suffering long and yet being kind to
hold it and not to allow ones self to
act unseemly, for thereby misunder-
standings rise and enough OF these
bring disaster to a home.

Things Not to Neglect.

You must never neglect little things,
If you want to look attractive and
well dressed. These things cost little
in either time or money, but they make
all the difference between careleSsneSS
and prettiness.
Never forget to start the day by
drinking one or two glasses of water
as soon as you wake up. Either hot
or cold. OF course it is better hot, and
to make sure that 1t Is hot, some wo-
men put the water in a thermos bottle
at night, so 1t is ready by the bed to
drink when they wake up. This flush
es out the stomach and kidneys and
liver. washes away acids and makes
an enormous difference in the way you
feel. 1t also keeps the skin clear.
Never forget to remove all dirt and
powder and makeup from the face and
neck every night before you go to bed
I think that cleansing cream, wiped
off on tissue napkins, followed by a
warm water washing, is best. II the skin
needs feeding, or If there are wrinkles
this can be followed by q massage with
cream, with a little left on for the
night. At the same time, cream should
be rubbed into the elbows and the
finger nails. Result, clean fine grained
skin, and smooth elbows and nice look
ing nails next day.
Never underestimate the value OF
very cold water and of ice as a beauti-
fer. Cold water rinses should follow
every washing, and ice should be used
as a massage for all cases of double
chin, lax chin and of wrinkles, when
ever 1t is practical to use it. 1t can
be rubbed over the face once a day for
two to five minutes, without any harm
Your beauty treatments are most ef-
fective II done at bedtime.
Mrs H. B.-A certain proportion OF
the hairs will return after you have
had the treatment for superfluous hair

results, but If you can afford to have

Is Bank Liable on Guarantee to

BY THE COUNSETI0R

John Wilson offered to purchase a
large order Of raw material from the
General Raw Material Co. on so days
credit. but the company informed him
that they would not accept the order
without an acceptable guaranty by q
responsible person.
Wilson consulted his savings bank
and 1t agreed to guarantee the account
and so informed the material company
by letter, as q result of which the order
was shipped to Wilson.
The account was not paid and the
company brought suit against the bank
on its written guarantee. In defense
Of the action the bank commended that
it had exceeded its corporate powers in
giving the guarantee and, consequently,
1t could not be bound thereby.
The court, agreeing with the defense,
dismissed the company's case, explain
ing:
"A bank has only such powers as are
granted expressly or implicitly by its
charter and the statutes of the State.
A bank Is not authorized to become q
guarantor except where this is neces-
sary to protect its rights and is an Incl
dent of the purchase or sale of COM
