RESIGNATION AND WORRY


I've made up my mind that can
not escape
Ihe Juggernaut driver forever.
Some motor car some day will
mangle my shape,
Tho at lodging I'm agile and
clever;
Some day I shall falter and fail to
be spry
And under the wheels of a car I
shall die
mad hoped l might peaceably pass
in my bed,
But know that the fates will not
let me.
The time was my pet and peculiar
dread
Was that some day a motor would
get me,
But that I'm resigned to-'mid
hOnkings and toots
And the squeaking of brakes shall
die in my boots
I expect to go down in the front of
car
Which some right-Of-way demon /
is driving;
To be bumped off at last with a Jolt /
and a jar,
To the shock of my loved ones
surviving.
Now / wonder whenever l travel
the street
What kind Of a car will knock me
off of my feet
viii I die meath a Buick, a Pack
ard, Paige,
Will an Overland batter and main
me?
Will a Lincoln bear down and rob
me of old age
Or a Cadillac limousine claim me.
)r will be sent to make peace with
my Lord
1t the hands of a demon who's
driving a Ford?

Active Onion Market

Active Onion Market
Demand for onions is reported
: good in some markets this month
and the movement has been corre-
J spondingly active. Countrywide
movement was 500 cars the second
week of January, compared with $50
the week before, but stocks on hand
were moderate and advances of Sc
to lOe per so pounds were reported
at some country shipping points.
Farmers were still strong in their
price ideas. owing to good demand
and rather heavy shrinkage in many
lots in storage. Prices at country
shipping points average close to 81

western shipping points.

Roads of many northern States are

Continued liberal supplies from
local sources by truck have tended
to prevent the usual price advances

Most of the green produce is from
Florida and the southwest. Florida
crops have been somewhat delayed

The Gift Puppy

In making the gift Of a puppy
at Christmas be sure that his ad-
vent into a new home will be as
safe and happy as possible. &C"
companied by a minimum OF olS-
turbance of his routine, advises
House Beautiful.
You can accomplish much along
these lines: Secure from the
breeder assurance that the puppy
has been thoroughly wormed and
inoculated against distemper. Also
obtain full details as to the puppy'S
diet to pass on to the new owners,
and this is especially important
if the latter have had little or no
experience with dogs.
If the dog is to be shipped by
express, be sure that his crate will
be large enough and of sufficient
strength to guarantee a safe jour-
ney.

You say How do you do?" when
you acknowledge an introduction
to a titled person, just as you do
when you acknowledge an intro
duction to anyone else. And Sir

address to use during a converse
ton. When speaking directly to
a person with an English title,
the Christian name may be used
with the prefix Sir (Sir john ,
or else the family name with the
prefix Lord or Lady Gord or Lady
Trafalgar. If, in conversation
with duke, you find it necessary
to say something beside you"
you would say Duke" not
your Grace, the use of which
title is only for servants. An earl
would be addressed as Lord Am
herst", and if well known to the
speaker, as Amherst.
Undoubtedly the guests who are
invited to the reception would
have, before the reception, called
on the hostess, to welcome her
into the new community. And
after the reception, they would
be the ones who would call to pay
their respects"
Serving dishes are always passed
at the left of the guest. And
usually too they are removed from
the left. although it is as proper
to remove them from the right.
However, it is not proper to pass
the serving dishes at the right,
since this is not convenient for
the guest. Beverages are served
at the right of the guest.

quite all right to telephone her
to thank her.

But once in a while we discover
a thin young person who cher1SheS
every ounce she has. She can be
found weighing herself often and
looking eagerly for new food COM
binations. She seldom talks as
much about the subject as does
her buxom friend, but her SINGER
ity goes much deeper and her prob
lem is never the joke that flatterS
Mae West curves or hearty appe-
tite.
It is just such a girl as this
that is the subject of the talk
today-the little girl who cannot
put on weight, and there seems
to be ever so many of them.
No one wants to be fat, but to
be thin is just as unattractive as
to be fat. I have said that medical
men have found that any abnor-
NAL weight can generally be cor
rected by establishing proper CLAN
dular functioning; body posture
and balance governed by the spine
are often the cause of malaSSimila-
ton and a few adjustments may
correct the posture faults.
FOOD AND WEIGHT
The common cause of over
weight, as we have observed, is
overeating. and in most cases the
underweight person is not getting
enough of the right food, or is not
getting enouSI rest and sleep.
Worry and constant irritation will
nearly always upset the digestion
so that it is impossible to gain
weight.
The thin girl must rest after
each meal, lying down if pos
Sible-even for Is minutes. She
must get 8 or 9 hours sleep
every night, avoid all tiresome
or dissatisfying, restless associates.
She must do some real deep
breathing twice every day. I
say real because few girls
breathe lower than the top Of
the lungs. The lungs should be
expanded full a number of times
during the day. Breathe through
the nose, hold it a few seconds
and then exhale through the
mouth.
Take 2 teaspoonfuls of olive
oil before each meal. 1 am as
Stunning that you will consult a
physician if you are really wor-
ried about your thinnesS.
MASSAGE NEEDED
One of the points to which you
should pay attention is to see
that your face, neck and shout,
ders be round at the same time.
There is nothing like massage and
a good cream to fatten up the
face and around the collar bones
There are some splendid creams
on the market to use for this.
If you would like to make your
own, you will find this simple
one very effective equal parts OF
