 More attention is focused on the lips nowadays than used to be given these interesting tissues. Since the earliest times they have been known for their. distinct association with various sexual manifestations. Most human beings indulge in kissing to demonstrate affection. There are, of course, some races which do not practice kissing, but show their af- lection in other ways.
 Many different forms of irrita- tion and swelling may affect the lips. They may become chronically 1nfiamed with scales and crusts as . result of being irritated. The use of certain lipsticks, dentifrices, sor mouth washes may lead to such trouble. In other cases, the condf- ton seems to be associated with va ifious nervous irritations. Occasion ally, . pimple may appear on the lip and turn into a boil.
 Serious infections with strepto- icocci are exceedingly dangerous when they affect the lips, because of the large blood supply there and the consequent danger of the germs spreading to the body generally. ( A spot of chronic irritation may form on the lip as the result of holding a pipe at one point, rub ping by a snaggle tooth, or some other cause. These irritations oc- casionally develop into tumors.
 An irritated spot on the lip is much more serious than 1t would be elsewhere on the body, because lip cancer is known to grow and spread most rapidly. It is of great Importance to recognize the nature of an infection, 8 growth, or an irritation on the lip as soon as pos- sible. because speed and efficiency ; of early treatment determine in many instances the final result. Cancer of the lip may be treated by complete removal through sur- gerry, by irradiation with radium or the X-ray, by electric coagulation, or by the combination of various methods.
 The most frequent recommenda- jtion involves removal of the lesion by surgery, or by electric coagula- tion first and treatment with radium afterward, to prevent spread.
 Ordinary infections of the lip fre- quently are treated with various mild ointments. but the more ex- tensive cases sometimes require use of the x-ray.
 ..-...e condition which affects lips, especially those of women, most commonly, is the so-called fever Blister. fever sore, or herpes. These frequently are associated with nerv- ous strains. indigestion. sunburn, the eating of various indigestible

With window open there is practically no danger of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning in any circumstances. Besides, sleep is al- ways sounder and more refreshing if one has cold damp night air to breathes only warmish, stale, dried out air.
 Salt
 How much salt should healthy person use daily and what happens of one takes too much salt? . (Mrs. c. E.)
 Answer-Perhaps half teaspoon full. Too much salt encourages overeating, causes retention of too much water in tissues, makes one fiabby, loggy.

WATER ROSE NUTS
 INJURE SWIMMERS
Game Head Warns Against Asiatic Tubers on Shores
 of Beaches

Hartford, Aug. GA warning against purchase of "Asiatic water rose tubers" from itinerant peddlers Is issued today by the State Board of Fisheries and Game.
 Should this foreign plant be- come established in Connecticut wa- ters 1t would become Q serious mem acc to bathing beaches and aquatic wildlife," the board declares.
 "The so-called water rose tubers' are not real tubers but are the nuts of the Asiatic water chestnut or caitrop. They have the appearance sometimes called 'shlngodas' and may be easily Identified by their four needle sharp prongs.
 "rhe nuts mature in summer, float ashore and cause painful wounds to the feet of bathers who may step on them. Serious infec. tons may follow" the board warns.
 The plants, once established, grow prolifically in dense masses, blank. eting the water surface and crowd. ing out native aquatic plants upon which wild ducks and other aquatic wildlife depend for food. The board urges anyone having these nuts in their possession to destroy them at once by burning. They should not be simply thrown away.
 Wlndham County Game Warden Thomas c. Daniels of Moosup has reported finding the nuts being sold by Q peddler in the vicinity of Danielson. Tho peddler, according to Daniels, said that he purchased his supply of "water rose tubers" in Boston and that he had sold many of them in Massachusetts.
 Superintendent of Fisheries and Game Arthur l.. Clark has brought the source of supply to tho atton- ton of Carl c. Bates, chief game warden of Massachusetts, in Q move to halt further distribution in southern New England.

very still, hugging his knees up to his chin. "All right. Jaime will be Q good boy"
 He looked up at the trail which led toward the top of the giant peak and said. Shall we climb on?"
 DO you want to9" Her eyes were eager again.
 If you want to-" he said with extreme courtesy. T think I could 20 1t until lunch time. After we've had our lunch we can start down again"
 Lets go"
 They came back to the little inn at Q quarter to (. Jaime went to his own hotel, pleasantly tired. He had to 70 to the racing room and sec how much money he had lost on the days races. He was losing steadily.
 After Q hot shower Ann felt rec freshed and joined the crowd for tea in tho lobby. It was hard to realize that she had arrived at the resort only the afternoon before.
 The hostess, Aimee, was busy introducing new guests, and Ann felt like one of the oldest now. Aimee talked to her like an old friend. "We're going to have Q steak roast on the lake shore tos night" she said. 'Wouldn't you like to come, and bring your young man?"
 "I'd love t." Ann told her. "But I'm afraid Mir. Laird Is engaged"
 A cheerful, masculine voice boomed behind them. "But I'm not' and I love steak roastSl"
 Ann turned to sec the stalWart figure of Lefty Ponds. "Oh, its youl" she said. "Aimee, this is MT. Lefty Ponds. He's Q guest here"
 Aimee gave Lefty q hand In her robust, friendly manner. Wed De delighted to have you, MT. Ponds"
 But when Ann got him aside on the VerandR, she said, "You arc per- slstent, aren't you2 I thought we settled this last night"
 "Oh, but you can't avoid me-" nc said easily, in his deep-throated. masculine tone. "An ex-footeall star"
 T know" she said, but then she smiled. Ho was breezy, solf.con. fident, entirely likeable, but he was still Q married man. The difflculty was that there seemed to Do no way of repulsing him if he wanted to hang around, He was Q guest at the same hotel.
 They danced once to the music from the radio, and then sat down on the Veranda where they could watch the sun setting over the lake. The fiery red ball descended slowly into the greenish waters.
 why do you married men think you have to kick up your heels Ike young colts when the wife's awayP" Ann asked cheerfully.
 1T simply like you," Lefty Ponds told her disarmingly. "I like to be with pretty girls. Is there anything wrong with that? But don't tell my wife" he added darkly, and then laughed. "What's a summer hus- band to do2"
 "Why don't you go fishing in the Maine woods9"
 II don't like fishing, I'd rather talk with you"
 You are persistentl" she said, and then she stood up and walked to the rail. What's Q girl to dop"

STORIES IN STAMPS ByI. s. Klein

CERBIA, under Turkish rule, was v being oppressed by . lawless, soldiery when a young, dauntlessl swineherd and former bandit as. serted himself. His dark, shaggy locks and piercing eyes gave him the name of "Kara George" or Black George, and his boldness invited both fear and confidence.
 In 1904, Kara George led a swelling army of Serbs against the Turkish soldiers and, aided by Russian opposition to Turkey, drove the Ottoman rulers out of his country. But as ruthless as was the former regime, even more SO was that of Kara George. He made himself king and when his own father and brother dared op- pose him he killed them.
 But war with Russia over, tho Moslems returned triumphantly to Serbia and Black George was forced to flee. Later the Serbs rose again, this time under Milosh Obrenovich, a more educated and diplomatic leader. Then, in 1877, Black George returned. Alarmed, Milosh informed the Turkish gov.

CHAPTER VII

When Ann came down Co break. fast she felt that some of the guests co the resort hotel eyed her askance. She was sure she knew what they were thinking: she was the girl who was running around with that wild gaioot, Jaime Laird, who lived across the lake ct the Majestic. Flying hlghl They oil knew who Ann was, what she did in the city, and how old she was.
 She was wearing climbing togS The porch sitters took up their positions and waited for some. thing to happen. one or two genial old ladies dropped . stitch or two in their knitting when JaimO's long roadster came roaring around the lake, to stop in whirl of dust be- fore the 0lenwood Inn.
 Ann went down to meet him and they drove away on the Cascade road, toward the Marcy trail. Jaime seemed changed. Ann thought--or perhaps she imagined it-that his face had Q little more color this morning. Perhaps it was the result of the crisp mountain air.
 They were content to say noth. ing. to throw back their heads in the breeze.
 'Is this . very steep mOuntainH" Jaime asked.
 "It's the highest in the Adiron- dacks," she said firmly.
 Jaime pretended to faint, and she had Co catch the wheel to keep them from gwerving of the road. "You juvenilel" she said, laughing. "You perpetual clown"
 He faced her. DO you like meT"
 I'm afraid I do'"
 The climb they were attempting wasn't Arduous. They were going only part of tho way up the noun tain, At first tho trail was no more than c leisurcly uphill walk. At in. tervals Jaime stopped and pointed out flora beside the path. Once they stopped to watch tiny lizards In the grass.
 This experience was something entirely new to him, and ho thrilled to it llke . small boy. His face was fllshed when they came to the roar. ina cataract which omptied ono of the high mountain lakes called by tho Indians Lake Tear'in.the- Clouds.
 He leapt out to the big boulder in tho very center of tho raging fiood, and waited for her to fol. low. Ann jumped, and he caught her in his arms. They were both laughing hilariously when they sat down on the rook.iSland to catch their wind.
 ft hadn't been 6 bad climb, and now they were enjoying one Of the most beautiful sights In the moun- taans. The sun, playing about the peaks, painted them with a fan. tastic Fnauve and purple. The roar of the water was pleasant in their ears, A faint cooling spray came up at intervals to revive them from blissful lethargy.
 Jaime smoked and was silent, contemplating the grandeur all about. Ann leaned back on the HUGkV bAl0 W0tSAhUd SAtu SASAo SaSSe' chasing ono another In the sky.
 "You see how marvellous it is up here?" she said. "This iS a real va cation spot"
 "At least It's better than that dark little hoie-the betting room But !t wes too much work getting herel" Jaime smiled laSilV down at her.
 She sat up suddenly. "Jaime. why don't you do something? People love you. They are shared by your charm, but they want to slap your hands and say, Get some ambi' tionV"
 Jaime laughed at her. T think you like me-juSt aS I am," he said and moved to kiss her.

CAB DRIVER IS
 ATTACK VICTIM

Scott Nelson, Royal Blue Cab driver, was beaten this morning by an unidentified man apparently bent on robbery.
 The asssilant, about 30 years old, entered Nelsons cab at the Dream land Cafe in Douglas at 5:15 am. and asked to be driven to Juneau. At the east end of the bridge he instructed the driver to turn left. When the machine was near the Juneau Dairy he suddenly struck Nelson twice on the head with a ]; sap" knocking him unconscious. Nelson quickly recovered, however, and the man, apparently fright ened, fled down the road on foot. His cap and sap" were recovered by the cab driver, who was later found to have suffered only minor contusions from the blows.
