Really Big Breezes

Scientific measurements Of wind

blows steadily. It's speed Is made
up OF a succession of gusts and
lulls. Thus the tremendous We
locities that occur in tropical
zones are Of momentary duration
only. While it is believed that
gusts Of wind in tornadoes some
times attain a speed of over 200
miles an hour. the highest wind We
locity ever measured scientifically
is 80 miles an hour. This has
been registered on two occasions
at Black river, Jamaica, on Novem-

Columbia river. Washington, on jan
utry %. 1921. The fastest wind

ThatB Body
Of Yours
Weak Stomach
BY
JAMES W. BARTON, NJ. d


DERHAPs you have a weak stom.
ach and have tried various med
iclnes without getting satisfactory
results.
Il Is only natural when you have
an ache" 10 the stomach, heart
burn. a tendency 10 vomlt after
eating. and attacks OF diarrhoea
that you should take stomach"
medicine
AS matter OF fact, what Is called
weak stomach may be due TO n
number Of causes that have nothing
to DO with the stomach proper.
For Instance. any poisoning In the
system from bad teeth or tonsIls.
infected gall bladder or a sluggish
Intestine. can 50 upset the stomach
that It will not do rs work prop
erly.
As you know, the majority of peo-
pie who have real stomach trouble
such as ulcer. have brought on that
condition because OF their mental
e-up-nervous. irritable. excit-
able.
Another cause OF weak stomach
Is an Incorrect diet: that Is a diet
not suited In quantity or quality TO
the ability OF the digestive tract
Dr. r. Kraupl. Berlin. says that
the whole series OF symptoms Of
weak stomach. up TO the actual
formation of ulcer. could often be
avolded-lf the diet were always
right for the stomach.
The thought then is that In all
cases Of weak stomach. the indIvId.
ual should get a complete examIna-
ton by dentist and doctor and
everything that may be interfering
with the work OF the stomach re-
moved or corrected.
II has been often noted that
where test meals and X-ray exam
nations have been made. no de-
formlty. delay In empiyiug. or
other allment was found. yet the
Individual suffered with a weak
stomach" BY simply changing his
habits. studying bis diet. giving him
little change or vacation. the
stomach became strong and free
from any disturbances.
In other words. the stomach very
often Is weak or feels weak be
cause of conditions in the body or
the mind Instead Of In the stomach
Itself.

 "The Spring of 1894 will see q definite change in afternoon dresses which will be divided into two distinct classes: first, the practical dress or ensemble suitable for town wear, shopping informal luncheons; second, the dress or ensemble which must do duty from !coktail hour to bed time
 "This second type of costume. for the end of the day--the Tag End dress. although answering a definite need. has not yet become firmly established as distinct type in spite of the efforts of the dress makers modellsts. The reason for this is that such costume cannot be developed without some experi ment. Its object is to supply need in modern life in which customs and habits themselves have undergone great changes, and so the Tag End dress will continue to undergo changes until a fitting ensemble has been evolved. It is development which borrowS from both the afternoon costume and the evening gown, and Is one worth watching"

Fly ALICIA HART

In this age of excellent hand lotions. pumice stone, rubber gloves and bland but effective soaps. every woman can have smooth and lovely hands.
 No longer Is 1t necessary to use harsh soaps in order to get the tNshes or the clothes clean. There are ali sorts of soap powders and cakes of soap which do their work just as effectively without making the hands of the worker red and rough.
 No woman who keeps house should be without a pair of rubber gloves. Put them on when you start your mornings tasks and don't remove them until the last trace of dust has ben wiped away and the last dish placed on the cupboard shelf. They may seem awkward at first but you'll get used to them, and what q boon they are to the girl who wants her hands to stay young and beautiful.
 A bottle of hand lotion Is nn absolute necessity. Why not keep one on your dressing table or in the bathroom and second ono in
