much exercise as we do our
hands no one would need wear
glasses.
We cannot go about rolling
our eyes continuously but there
are some fine exercises that may
be done from time to time dur
ing the day that may relieve all
eye strain and fatigue.
Do the exercises with the eyes
closed and you may do them at
any time. First roll them to the
right then down. to the left and
up. It may help to do the rou-
tine first with the eyes open,
and when it is convenient, apply
heat before the movements are
begun.
Heat will keep the eye muscles
from being stiff and will also
stimulate the circulation. When
possible to lie down for 10 or IS
minutes during the day, cover
the eyes with pads of absorbent
cotton or a clean wash cloth
wrung out of hot boric acid
Follow this with a good cool
eyewash and you will find it rest
full and a real beauty aid.
The delicate tissues surround
ing the eyes must have special
manipulation and the lashes, too,
need nourishment to stimulate
their growth so as to give them
the luxuriant. sweeping growth
we admire so much.
Sally: Tap dancing should re-
duce the legs and the rest of the
body, too, but you will have to
make it real exercise to be ef-
fective.

toilet water and brushing it we'll

is a good temporary relief.

LOV0IOrn
Betrays Her
Age
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Copyright. 1886, by King Features
syndicate, Inc }

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"When we were married, my
wife told me she was only two
years Olde" than l. You know it's
awfully hard to tell about the
ages of women the way they fix
themselves up. After we were mar.
ried, discovered she was about
eight years Older-there was no
question about her being in love
with me.
"She had a little money from
her first husbands life insurance,
and with this we started a bust.
ness which did not prosper. She
didn't like the idea of standing
in a store, thought it beneath her
dignity, and / couldn't be there
all the time, as she urged me to
try and get something to do.
$50, while she paid the bills
and the house rent, she talked
plenty about having a lOafer on
her hands. After a while this got
so bitter that 1 went home to my
parents, who had warned me in
advance how things would turn
out. Now she is writing to me to
come back. Would you advise me
to do that? My family is against
it.
young HUSBAND"
Don't you think you'd better
wait till you get a job before
you go back to your wife? If she
still pays the rent. the butcher
and grocery bill, she is as likely
to cast this up to you now as
she did before you left. If you're
still in your twenties, I think
there is too much disparity in
your ages for the marriage ever
to be happy.

HERE'S something for these hot
III nights-to make them seem
cool. "Pajees" is the name of the
delightful short pyjamas, which
are of an especially cool fabric.
They are printed in gay tiny but
terflies, and tied on the shoulders
with dainty satin ribbons. Just
another timely idea to help you
through the summer. They are in
tea rose with blue ribbon, 81 per
pair.

VIC DONAHEY TO FIGHT FOR
ASSESSMENT REDUCTION

"I will personally see to it that
people of the Muskingum Conserv-
ancy District receive the benefit of
the Copeland flood control bill now
pending in the United States SEN
ate." This statement was made by
U. s. Senator A. ". Donahey, recent
ly. Senator Donahey, member of
the senate commerce committee
which will submit the Copeland
flood control bill to the senate, said
"the good people of the Muskingum
valley will be taken care of in this
bill in the form of an amendment
even if I have to go on the floor of
the senate and fight for it." The
Copeland bill provides for federal
participation in food control prof.
ects in ratio to federal benefits de-
rived from construction. If the
amendment promised by Senator
Donahey is attached to the bill it
would mean substantial reduction
in benefit assessments in the Mus
kingum Conservancy District. Sem
ator Donahey, long a foe of excess
sive local taxation and opposed to
the present portion of local cost OF
the Muskingum project, was ap-
preached by district officials because
he is the "key man. of the Ohio
delegation by reason of his mem
bership on senate commerce COM
mittee. 81 am opposed to the gov
ernment paying all of the cost of
flood control projects, but / do feel
that the property owners share in
the Muskingum valley is too high"
Senator Donahey said.
"Now that congress is determine
ing a definite policy Of federal par
ticipation in food control projects
I consider it my duty to see that
the people of the Muskingum valley
are not penalized for being pioneers
in this work." the senator said.
"This Copeland bill, in which I for
tunately can play greater part
than the rest of the Ohio delega-
ton, must provide that the same fl
nancial assistance shall apply to the
Muskingum project and l pledge
you that this will be DONE" Senator
Donahey told district officers.

"BOB" BRAGG SEVERELY
INJURED

Mr.. Bob" Bragg met with a pain
full and what might have been a
very serious accident Monday night.
He was standing in truck, riding,
and when it passed under tele-

under the chin, cutting a cash from
the mid line across one side of his
throat. The cash was a deep one
and made quite hole in his throat
which it required stitches to close.
Mr.. Bragg was very lucky to have
escaped without more serious injury.

LARGE POULTRY HOUSE BURNS

Harry Gessell's large poultry
house on the Happy Hollow road,
near Malta, and it's contents, were
destroyed by fire Monday morning
about six o'clock. When discovered

of flames. The McConnelsville fire
department was called and respond
ed promptly, but the building was
practically destroyed when they ar
rived, and they worked to keep the

of chickens. The building burned
