the succeeding four years Sheriff. proceeded to give Gin
cinnati the best administration it ever had. He cut
down city expenses, wiped out corrupt politics and ran
the city government in the interest Of the voters and not
the bosses.
All in all. it is a fine record that he made. He's a
man to watch. Anyone who can do what he did is the
sort Of man who ought not to be allowed to stay in pri-
vate life permanently. Sooner or later he ought to be
drafted for some other public position.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Swollen Glands

Swollen Glands
question: I. II. n. writes: II hav -
small swollen glands on both sides of
my neck. I have noticed these for a
long time. They seem to be worse
wnen I have q cold. What would
you suggest?"
Answer: You probably have swol-
len Emphatic glands, and you should
use a careful diet so that you will not
overload your Emphatic circulation.
It is q good plan for you to live on
fruits and green vegetables for a
month or two and give your glands a
chance to empty themselves Of any
accumulated wastes. For q short
time eliminate all starches, sugars.
meats. etc. Hot applications or cleo
tr1cal treatments are sometimes help-
ful In improving the circulation
through the glands.
Graves Lettuce
question: e. L. writes: II have a
great craving for lettuce and eat al
most two heads a day. Is there any,
thing wrong in this desire? Does r.
form gas, and does it clog the in
testines?"
Answer: Your system undoubted-
~ needs some Of the mineral elements
which are present in lettuce. Eating
two heads a day would not be harm-
ful, providing you do not have tao
much gas. If you are troubled With
flatulerce. it is better to use some of
the other greens. Lettuce does not
clog the intestines.
Hair on Face
question: Miss M. A. G.. asks: "Does
washing the face with water and soau
every morning help to increase az
growth Of hair on the face? what.
can be done to discourage any small
growth?"
Answer: Washing the face with
soap and water does not increase the
growth OF hair. A good method Of
discouraging the growth is to spread
a warmer rosin and beeswax prepar
alton on the skin. This hardens and
then 1t can be pulled off, taking the
small hairs with it. II the growth is
heavy it should be removed with an
electric needle.

Bobby If you stayed on? It's up to
you. I heard DR.. Vaginal say So"
Bernadine's lips formed Z ghost

Alan. You're decent. You can do -
much as I can for Bobby. It would
be different IL no were q girl. And
I've got q feeling that Jack wants
me out there. Besides. It wouldn't
be easy for me to follow the Doctors

To answer her Alan had to sneak
above q lump In his throat.
Don't misunderstand met ho

Bernadine did not answer. Her
silence troubled Alan. He wondered
It she thought he didn't want the
boy. Then. suddenly. Natalie came

profitable hens at this time of the
year will eliminate the excitement
and the necessity of handling the
entire flock during the day time,
which often causes a noticeable de-
crease in production Tor n week or
ten days after such practice is fol-
lowed.
At the present price of feed it will
cost about 20 cents per month To
feed a nen. Whenever we allow a hen
to remain in the flock that is not
producing eggs we are losing this
twenty cents. Hens that molt in
June, July and August should be
sold, as it has been proven that
these are Improbable to keep over
for the second years production.
We often hear the expression that
we should keep the late inolters as
they are heavy producers, and the
next statement we hear is that we
should get winter egg production. 1t
must be borne in mind that we can
not expect high percentage winter
production from our hens; there
fore, we must give each year more
attention to production of well de-
veloped pullets and depend on them
for our maximum winter egg pro-
ductiOn. Only hens that are intended
for breeders should be kept the Sec
Ond year.

SYMBOLS OF SUMMER

notice this week was the one Mrs.

evening for her sister, Miss Myra

Mr. William Boody, Jr., of Whining
ton, was announced short time ago.
1t looked at first appearance, IKE
the regular party, with the eYenlng
devoted to bridge as most of Milford
parties are, with Miss Ackerman as
the honor guest. But that was the
first appearance. Bridge was play
ed, refreshments were served ana
enjoyed, prizes were awarded, ana
everything was in order for thanks
to the hostess for a pleasant tlIHe'
when the hostess appeared with a
bundle which looked for all the
world like the family wash. 1t was
presented to Miss AckeTman with
the advice that she had better get
to work. This she did with Il VIII
for the bundle contai3ed a miscella-
neous shower and the l3Veliest
things were all tied up in white pa
per. Folks experienced, know what
an all gone feeling one has when so
taken by surprise, but those same
folks also know with what a thrill
each package is opened. This uneX-
pected surprise with all of the ac-
companying pleasure, was an eve
ming that will long be remembered
by Miss Ackerman. The flowers USED
for decoration were beautiful pink
crepe myrtle, phlox and hydrangeas.
The prizes went to Miss Dorothy
Derrickson for high score, Consola-
tion prize to Miss Leah Jordon ana
the low score prize to Miss Ruth
Tarr, of Wilmington. The other
guests were Miss Goldey Tarr, Mrs.

Milford chronicle., 1930-08-08

In the mature period the vital
processes moderate. With men the
progress is unobtrusive and little IS
thought of it, but in women atten-
ton is attracted by about equal
amounts of over-emphasis and mis-
information to the impending alb
sence of an event which formerly
occurred monthly. Some women
dread this change and anticipate the
discomfort which common talk has
convinced them is unavoidable at
this period of their lives. Old wives
tales recount traditional difficulties,
and so women have been led to eX-
pect a trying time.
A decrease in frequency, de-
crease in the amount, or even the
complete cessation of menstruation
is at the proper age natural and
orderly proceeding which should
cause no apprehension. Cessation
merely marks the close of the re-
productive phase of adult life which
a wise nature limits to the period OF
greater vigor in order that the OIL
spring shall have the best chance to
survive. 1t is not responsible for al
tered disposition nor for the devel-
opment of mental disease, and for
the great majority of women 1t
brings considerable relief.
Every age has it's own changes
and years bring experience, Judg-
ment, and new activities, aims and
desires as we'll as physical growth
and evolution. Ordinarily we are
only vaguely conscious of the pro-
cesses of change, if we are aware OF
them at all. But the idea that Il am
getting old" sometimes leads a wo-
man in the forty-fifty decade to feel
a sense of disappointment over the
passing of youthful dreams and this
feeling often finds expression in
symptoms entirely imaginary or in
the enlargement by the mind OF
trifling feelings which otherwise
would have passed unnOticed. I'm
stable, imaginative women are in
clined to blame on nature every
thing which they experience at THIS
time. They look for and find the
symptoms they seek. Patent medi-
cine makers, knowing this, by sug-
gestive advertising make sick people
out of those uncritical persons who
desire to be convinced they are i'll
because they have acquired the idea
that illness is inevitable. Usual eX-
plantations for middle-aged i'll health
in women deserve to be disregarded.
There is no reason for a woman to
have i'll health at that age or to be
changed in disposition or appear
ance. Health and looks are often
matters of temperament. A good dis
position, a cheerful outlook and pro-
per bodily hygiene will keep one
young in everything but years. A
gracefully aging woman can be and
generally is lovely.
Were it not for the external evil
dences a woman would not know
what was taking place. Men expert
ence a similar moderation in activi-
! ty but having no outward manifes-
tations fail to realize it. Women
would be better If they thought of 1t
less and regarded it as an occasion
long prepared for and entirely ma
| tural.
Increased frequency and increased
volume generally are due to local
conditions which may prove serious,
and for these conditions one should
consult a physician. But do not be
concerned about a reduction or COM
plete cessation or expect to have i'll
health before, during or after the
menOpause.

GONE 1900 years ago, when
Sthe northern countries were
in cold storage under the gla-
cial ice-sheet, a rough hairy man
sat and slowly, but skilfully,
traced upon a piece CT reindeer
bone a picture OF salmon SWIM
ming in a stream. This was the
first record we have Of one of the
most widely-known fish on to-
days market.
In 1853, no less famous an
angler than Izaak Walton wrote:
''The salmon is accounted the
king of fresh-water tish"-and
this genial old fisherman was well
acquainted with salmon both on
the hook and on the platter.
Perfect Salmon See Cans

its present day quality can, he
might have turned to canning
instead of fishing. For salmon
