part of life--the quiet enjoyment of
home-life with its undisturbed Pc
rusal of an evening paper, an even
'ling's lounge at the local ''loafator-
iiim" where community affairs and
crop prospects were intimately dis
cussed with people who really seem
ed to have a little time on their
hands, as well as a few blisters
Their ease OF living then, now looks
adorable. Tomorrow's speed may
pick us up in the air and let us
down at any cross roads. You won't
know the pilot. You won't really
! know anybody and you may have to
knock on your own door and have
your picture and Identification pa
! pers before getting in. 1t seems to
us that speed and desire to be on
the go or CAD is putting the world
cuckoo. But then we are an old
fogy. While examining the leg Of a
horse for blemishes, at Caldwell,
probably three weeks ago, Edward
W. Combs Of Manchester township,
was quite severely kicked on the leg
by the animal, and the injury has
not yet entirely disappeared. Del
mar Ray, residing on the former
Drake-Leland farm, near Cross
Roads church, plans to move this
week to the late b. F. Foster farm
near Otho, Manchester township. He
vacates the aforesaid farm in Center
township in favor of the purchaser,
Harry Young, of Canton, who, we
understand, will shortly occupy it.
--Flcyd Lowe, now guard at the
London prison farm, was at home
/ here from Friday night until Mon
day, and on this latter day com.
pleted arrangements for his removal
to that place.--If differences of opin-
! ions among young males of the
genus means anything in such a
case, it means that about all of
them need to consult an oculist.
| One of them may say ''it's a short
stripe" and another may say it's a
long stripe And they argue. One
might, without further explanation
think that we gathered these eX-
pressions at meeting of painters
where they were discussing some of
the points of their trade, but this
isn't the case. Is it .lOng" or a
"short" stripe? Well, dinged if
we know either, but we have to
wear glasses for reading lines. How
ever as we see it-yes, that's right,
it that removes it from discussion
for even a crowd of blind men and
that is that it is a skunk.

TO ASK FOR LETTERS
 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

TO ASK FOR LETTERS
 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
 "T'm going to write to Papa, And, oh, how glad hell be
 To get my little letter;
 Dear Dad. I need g V..'" When the sos arrives from Son. ny who is outing with some friends up near the Whickahanney or down where the Oocagong flows in the Upajusic, mother weaps tears of joy and relief while dad says with as- sumed Sternness, He would write for money; gave him ten dollars before he started" But secretly he tingles because the epistle was ad- dressed to him.
 Now, then, this business of letter writing. Should we parents expect youngsters to step out of their sweet dreams long enough to pencil note home once in @ while?
 You can just bet we should. There isn't one bit of sense in handing the earth to our offspring, in so far as we are able, and then paying the penalty of watching for the postman day after day-with noth- ing in his hand when he does come but Q circular from @ summer hotel.
 No Trip for Dad
 Summer hotel, indeedl Sonnys boys extra tuition to get him through his tests took enough to give us a smell of the sea. And then after all his hard study, along came this chance to go to that camp on the big Smith estate. Car fare, and waders, and tackle and other gadgets would have given us several whiffS of the sea. But did we stop to ponder about dads twitch or our own sleeplessness? No that healthy young cub needed a rest.
 So he went of whistling and waving and promising to write. In his bag we put dozen or so self-addresed,, stamped postals. Yeah, he'd watch that rub on his foot. No, if he got a cold he would n't go in the water. Oh, shucks, that old dam wal safe enough; you didn't fish above 1t, you fished be- low 1t. Sure he'd send card every day.
 So after the first not of course there was a dead silence of 8 week. Then a touch for money. MT. Smiths manager was taking them on Q little excursion. Sorry that he hadn't written for 8 couple of days, but he'd been lawful" busy.
 Should Share Fun
 For which he needed good shaking. Good gracious, parents aren't lying awake seeing things in the dark. They do worry some, perhaps, but they aren't so weak minded as a rule as to let their children do thingns that aren't reasonably safe. It isn't that so

even milk is deficient in certain es- sentials of nutrition.
 Better pay no attention to the vendor who tells you his medicine, beverage or food builds red blood.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Belly
 Have you any exercises to strengthen the abdominal Cor do l mean belly) muscles? (Mrs. R. w. K.)
 Answer-Probably you mean belly muscles, though there are other muscles in the abdomen Ca cavity) which may be flabby and weak, say the psoas and lumbar muscles. Send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address, for "The Last Brady Symphony"-this includes exercises designed to improve belly tone.
 Knee Deranged
 My knee-cap slides out of place causing great pain and swelling for two weeks after. How can I prevent this? (Miss A. B0
 Answer--If 8 suitable strapping with elastic adhesive by the physi- clan does not prevent the slipping, the only remedy is operation and anchoring or perhaps removal of the loose body. Copyright 1886, John F. bile Coo

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESS

Limited Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris-A good criterion Of the styles which have been accepted by the smart set of Paris can be found in the Crillon bar when European and American society notables meet for the cocktail hour
 Particularly to be noted are the masses and checks-blue and darK red, green and brown as well as black and white. The checked ma terials are seen made up lnto short coats worn over plain dresses. suits with short sleeved jackets are worn. The prints are particularly amusing this year in anima! oe- signs, colorful umbrellas on black background, a white background printed with a balloon man carrying dozens of different colored balloons and groups of pesants in bright costumes dancing over @ sand col ored background. The new mater ials attract so much attention that the lines of these summer suits are kept quite simple.
 Noted 0C the CrlllOn OLle uuy ""S Suzy's famous water lily hat. Suzy, who Is Paris milliner for the duchess of Kent, has created a medium -brimmed hat with the crown left open at the top to dis play the hair. The lower part or he crown is made up of water lilies.
 An American resident of the Crillon, who dresses at Schaiaparelli wears a black crepe dress which fastens down the back with Q zip- per. With this she wears news paper scarf, printed in yellow and in black on Q white background. and Q black straw hat trimmed with a single yellow and white long, stemmed tulip.

THE BLOOD BUILDING
 BUSINESS

A@SAA4A@AeNSN
 BUSINESS
 Some years ago a smart fellow built up a brisk trade selling "brain food" to the morons. Naturally he wrote his own testimonials. About the time the government Squashed him @ company of still smarter chaps organized and developed a highly profitable business supplying nerve food" to the wiseacres. Emi- nent professors, ministers, lawyers and maybe 6 superannuated doctor or two wrote their testimonials. To- day the dumbdoraS of these be- nighted states are pretty regular, well, anyway regular customers for articles used and recommended by the latest most glamorous Hollywood star unless some other concern makes her better proposition. Oddly enough, "blood food" hasn't been discovered and perfected by a famous but unidentified Viennese specialist lately.
 It Is remarkable how many nos- trumS of high and low degree, pop ular nostrumS and physicians nos- trunlS, carry enough alcohol to give the delicate invalid or the anemic individual Q gentle jag, especially if he or she is not accustomed to the use of intoxicants. Indeed it is the dose of alcohol the victim gets in each dose of her blood tonic" that misleads her in the fancy that she is getting better with every dose. It gives her a brief flush and warns her up by dilating the surface ves- sells so that the warm blood rushes to the surface and tarries there too long. It benumbs her higher nerve centers and releases the normal in- hibition or self-control. She carries on more gaily and unreservedly than she does when sober. She thindks she feels better. Uncritical observers notice her flushed cheek and bright eye and they, too; see that she is getting better. Not until the bottle is empty and there is no booze on hand for the next dose does the victim realize she is not as well as when she began taking it. The nos- trum has really made her worse, be- cause 1t has carried her along on false stimulation (actually narcotiza- tion) while her illness remained un- treated.
 This description of the effect of the blood tonic" applies also to the use of wine. If you crave a little nip like a glass of wine, that is one question. If you honestly want something that helps to remedy anemia, remember wine is a mocker. I wish I might mention something that really does build blood, but 1t would not be fair to do so, for no particular item of food or drink is more effective than others for that purpose. All natural foods and bev- erages (nothing added, nothing taken away) contribute toward the building of blood. brain, nerve, bone, muscle, gland, skin and organs. Un- less you first destroy all the physi- ologies, you can't single out partic- ular foods or beverages as blood building.
 The one food-beverage which most nearly approaches this ''blood mak- ing" ideal, the most nearly perfect food, Is fresh pure raw milk. But

GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

One way to stay reasonably cool and comfortable when the ther- mometer registers above 90 is to refuse to think or talk about the heat. The more you discuss the weather, puffing, grooming and adopting the air of e martyr, the hotter and more miserable you become.
 Take at least two lukewarm baths a day and finish with c colonge rub-down. Use bath-pow- der lavishly. Dust your feet, es- pecially between the toes with bath or special foot powder before you put on stocking.
 Your summer wardrobe ought to consist mainly of light, por- ous dresses, preferably washable ones. Make Q habit of looking even heater and more tidy in the summer than you do in winter. If you bathe every morning, put on clean underwear, Q dress that is freshly washed, and spic and span white gloves, you'll look cool. Believe 1t or not if you look cool, you will feel cooled.
 If you use perfume in the sum mer, by all means pick light spicy or light floral scent. The heavy. rich varieties that you wore in the winter won't do now. A good many women substitute toilet water for perfume during June, July and Aug ust.
 i Wear shoes that are large enough. Tight, uncomfortable ones make the weather seems worse than 1t is. Also the shoes you wear on the street ought to be open cut or perforated types that let the air get at your feet.
 Remember that Q sensible, well balanced diet is necessary to hot weather comfort. Go lightly on starches and sweets. Have meat no more than once a day. Drink pints and pints of fresh fruit and vegetablas juices. Eat fresh or'seew- cd fruits for deserts. Let your luncheons consist mainly of crisp green salads.
