Better to
Heal Than
To Conceal
Covering Blemishes Is
Only M Makeshift
Remedy at Best.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

bI ELclE f1EhCE.
THERE'S group Of women whose
code seems to be why heal when
you can conceal" I don't subscribe
to that theory. Not so far as chronic
blemishes such as blackheads, pimples
and discolorations are concerned.
Such chronic eruptions usually indi-
cate something chronically wrong. A
revision of diet habits, more fresh
air, exercise, sleep, more water
q general sane health program
often does a remarkable skin-clearing
job. Sometimes chronic constipation
or similar ailment is at the root Of the
trouble. The wise woman gets right
down to the root. She sees her ply
sician, follows his advice, sets her
system Alright and her skin thereby.
All this by way of explaining that
we insist on healing first and we do
not believe that makeup should be
used to cover up blemishes Its chief
use is: Heightening natural beauty
and 1t does that job best when there
Is q hawless foundation to work with
But there's the occasional blemish
which nearly every woman gets. It
isn't chronic. It may be caused by
one Of q dozen reasons, and some
times it comes and goes with little
rhyme or reason. Now that occasional
blemish doesn't deserve pampering or
q change in diet or worry or loss Of
sleep. Very often 1t doesn't stay very
long, but when 1t does show its head,
spot it. There are sticks on the market
which are very convenient to carry
around with you. You just touch the
spot and presto 1t Is concealed.

tic animals are fertile breeding and
developing ground for the parasites,
and unless carefully watched and
kept scrupulously clean may start
an infestation that is nothing short
of a disaster.
ITO COPE with the pest, two steps
are necessary: First. the destruc-
ton on the host of the adults that
are producing the eggs; second, the
clearing out of the immature stages
which are breeding in or under the
house.
Dogs and cats should be bathed
regularly, and with an insecticide Of
recognized merit in the water. Be-
tween baths they should be busted
with good flea powder, worked into
the hairs especially along the neck
and the back. Special attention to
this regular busting will go far to-
ward eliminating the pests and to
making the animals life pleasanter.
Remember, in bathing pets, that cats
have more sensitive skins than dogs,
and solutions should be made weaker
for them than for their canine
friends.
In destroying immature feas, 1t Is
important to bear in mind that half
way measures are no good. If the
dogs bed is thoroughly infested. If
his kennel is overrun-then get rid of
them, and make new ones. If only
mild infestation is present. spray
the kennel well with creosote, and
wash the bed thoroughly with a
strong disinfectant. This treatment
should be repeated every time the ami
NAL Is washed. If the infestation ap-
pears to be general throughout the
house, the floors should be carefully
swept, the cracks cleaned, and gaso-
line sprinkled well over all. Then
naphthalene fakes or crystals may be
laid down to further discourage the
insects.
If the infestation comes from .
breeding place beneath the house it
Is advisable to spray the area with
creosote, then clean out all loose ma
terial and burn it. Common salt
should be scattered about and well
wet down. A second wetting two or
three days later will usually complete
the destruction.
1t may be true. as David Harum
said, that "a certain amount of fleas
Is good for dog; they keep him from
broodin' on bein a dog''-but think
it would be better for the dog to
brood bit, at that!

really does love you and that in her
passionate anxiety to help you finan-
ciany she has subordinated everything
else to that. She has concentrated her
every interest and thought on the busi-
ness instead of on you. She has had
no time for you because every minute
was given to thoughts Of money-mak-
ing. Instead Of whispering tender words
to you she has been planning sales
talks.
II this is the case, then you can
wake her up and bring her back from
her absorption In business by telling
her that however much you have
appreciated her help, that it was not
to get a supersecretary or an expert
buyer or wizard at bookkeeping that
made you marry her. You could hire
service, but you married because you
wanted a wife to give you something
that could not be paid for-love and
tenderness and companionship.
WOMEN, you know, are extremists.
w Many of them, when they 60
into business, get so obsessed by money
making that they have no thought or
interest for anything else in life. Per-
haps your wife has acquired this
mania, but it may be. as have said.
that she has just forgotten that suc-
cess in marriage can mean more to
q man than success in business, and
that in her eagerness to help you
financially she has lost sight of the
fact that she is neglecting you
spiritually.
1t Is a curious thing that women
should think that heart-hunger is an
exclusively feminine complaint, and
that those who wall so bitterly about
cold and indifferent husbands should
themselves be so often human refriger-
ators. They want their husbands to
make q fuss over them, to flstter them,
to assure them continually of their
affection, but it is the rare wife who
realizes that her husband is hungering
and starving for love and that he
wants to be petted and jollied and have
his wife tell him that she thinks he
Is the most wonderful creature in the
world. Men crave love just as much
as women do, and you never hear Of
one who gets plenty of it at home
hunting 1t abroad.

every one asks himself the moment
a trip or visit is decided upon. But
how many of us always manage to
forget something-at both ends of
the trip
Here's q way to get everything you
will need with a minimum amount Of
trouble and inconvenience.
Make a list on paper. Sit down at
your desk and mentally dress your
self from the skin out. Begin with
underclothing and keep on through
the hats, remembering df necessary
topcoat, raincoat and gloves.
Then tackle the personal acces-
sories. What about cuff links, tie
clasps, collar buttons; or handbags,
extra gloves, belts, artificial flowers,
etc.9 Then the toilet and dressing
articles.
You'll find q list like this will speed
packing, make 1t an orderly process.
And 1t will also be great help when
it comes time to go home. You'll be

a NEW cracker ior your Cheese
board comes to win favor along
with the new Fall shipments Of
cheese. The crackers are crisp and
richly favored with sharp American
cheese. They come in all kinds Of
intriguing shapes-a complete assort-
ment to every box. Cloverleaf, hearts,
squares, diamonds-to make the nib
bling even more interesting. You'll
find them especially nice, too, to
serve lust plain" with beverages, as
well as on the cheese board, for they
are piquantly tasty by themselves.
Another wafer-type cracker, with a
milder cheese flavor, but a standard
wafer size, has also recently been re-
ceived by local merchants. The two
new numbers will vie with one an
other for place on your grocery list
once you've tried them, but we think
they both merit equal popularity.
While you are about stocking up on
the cracker supply. don't forget those
vegetable favored cracker sticks that
made their debut last Winter. Gel

THE new Fall shipment Of Swiss
cheese has just arrived. according
to some of our up-to-the-minute
While this type Of cheese
is always fresh no matter how long
it's been since it landed on our shores,
there is . feeling that it is es-
pecially tasty when it first arrives!
Large wheels that look like mill stones
are being received and stored in
local warehouse refrigerators for the
Winter entertaining season. But that's
no reason why we shouldn't enjoy
them now, too. It's still Summer time
and picnic time and Swiss cheese
should prove to be, and probably Is,
one of the most popular OF all cheeses
for sandwiches and cold platter
spreads. Sometime ago we heard 1t
remarked that the Swiss cheese that
Is sent to this country Is somewhat
different from that made for Swiss
consumption. It seemed incredible to
us, and yet as we thought back, the
cheese here did not taste quite the
same as it did to us in Switzerland.
So, when it was our good fortune to
meet o representative of q firm Of
world renowned cheese manufac-
turers, who had been sent to this
country to make a survey of Swiss
cheese consumption by Americans,
we asked him whether the above was
true-and he said 1t was! Since
Americans prefer . milder type than
that traditionally enjoyed and loved
in the Alpine country and Europe,
special patches Of this variety are
made for usl d.

The Old Gardener Says:

If young hollyhock plants that
were started from seeds in July
are removed now to their perma-
nent locations, they will become
well established before cold
weather arrives. Give them at
least a foot Of space and do not
set them in land which was heav-
lily manured in the Spring. Holly
hooks do not like a heavy soil or
one which is filled with clay. If
no other kind is available, an
abundance of sand or sifted coal
ashes should be dug in to tighten
it. A good dressing of lime is
also an advantage. If hollyhocks
are not crowded and If the air is
allowed to circulate around them.
they are much less likely to be-
come diseased than when planted
close to buildings or walls, and
only a few inches apart.

Good
Guest Verv
Important
Courtesy, Considera-
ton, Adaptability
Are Required.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

YOUNG people will be going on
= house visits during the vacation.
They ought to know how to be good
guests. There is as much obligation
upon a guest as upon q host. and
that fact ought to be impressed upon
young people. A few simple observ-
ances of good manners would not
only make the guests visit pleasanter
for him, it would endear him to his
host and assure his welcome for all
time.
A guest ought to know what
clothes to take along. If he does not
know what occasions he is to dress
for it is simple enough to ask his
hostess. She will be glad to tell the
girl or the boy just what to expect.
1t Is painful for a hostess to arrange
for o hike and picnic only to dis
cover that her guests have only spike
heeled slippers and evening clothes.
A good guest arrives exactly on
time, Is always on time for meals, and
leaves exactly on the hour Of the day
planned beforetime. No matter what
the temptation to stay may be, he
goes.
The intelligent guest keeps his be-
longings in the room assigned to him
and does not spread himself all over
the house-his tennis racquet on the
porch, his sweater in the living-room,
his magaSines on the lawn. When he
goes. he looks over his room, checks
his belongings and makes sure that
he is leaving nothing behind for his
hosts to express or mail to him.
Good guests never ask servants for
special service. They make as little
work for them as possible. remember
ing that the house servants do not
take kindly to extra work. This bit
of thoughtfulness will win the endur-
ing regard Of the lady of the house,
who has her own troubles with the
household staff.
In leaving, the good guest has
grateful word for the servants, q
personal good-by If possible. Before
making the final gesture Of farewell
the good guest checks up in his mind
the articles he has borrowed, If any.
and makes certain that they have
been returned. The borrowing guest,
the one who borrows anything, from
car fare home to dinner clothes, is
not welcomed again. Borrow nothing.
Don't carry off the book you were
reading. Wear what you brought or
do without. If an emergency arose
that made borrowing or using some
thing that belonged to some one else,
then apologize briefly for the mishap
and make good the expense or the
loan Immediately.
Once at home again the good guest
writes q note to the hostess. That
note ought to be something more
than . bread and butter note. Maybe
the writer cannot sparkle in his ex-
pressions or gratitude and pleasure,
but he can say something that smacks
of himself rather than of the form
letter. What Is wanted in the whole
business Of being a guest is happy
expression Of pleasure in the company
Of the family that invited him.
Being guest is q job, not q vaca-
tion pastime. The guest is to give
pleasure, and according to his power
to fulfill his obligation he and his
hosts have "a good time" He can
always rest up at home. That Is what
his hosts will do after he goes. The
less rest they need after his depart
ure the higher his praise will mount.

Thrilling Game Resulted Sunday
Despite Threatening Weather
Conditions

Sundays baseball game between
the st. Cloud All-Stars and the Mel
rose All-Stars, sponsored by the
Stearns County Fair Association,
was one of the best games ever
witnessed on the local diamond. It
was a fast, exciting game, with a
home run by Fischer former ma
jor league star, thrown in for good
measure. A fair crowd attended
despite threatening weather condi-
tions.
At the start the game looked like
free-hitting affair, but it develop
ed into sturdy mound duel be-
tween two right-handed aces, when
both teams were held to two hits
each during the last six innings of
this thrilling encounter. The score
was 5 to in favor of st. Cloud.
The losers caused their own undo
ing by making too many daring
plays on base runners after two
were out in the ninth frame. With
this game the series between these
two teams stands even, with one
game each, and a rubber contest
seems to be in the offing.
BY q strange coincidence all
Sundays scoring was done in the
odd numbered sessions. Fisher
again was outstanding with the will
