Lightning Does Strike
 Twice in Same Place

BROADUS, Mont, Aug. 12.- Lightning never strikes twice in the same place?
 Well, it did me-" said William Davis, sheepherder.
 A bolt struck him and knocked off his hat. Two minutes later, re- covered from his daze, he was struck again as he stood in the same spot. His sock and shoes were torn away, and he was deaf for days.

announced the dancer as belng from Seville, when, as everybody with a grain of intelligence could see. the fellow was not Spanish at all.
 So screamed the vexed, ugly one. The funny part of it was that the dancer, having just been brought over from Spain, and unable to speak a word of English, didn't know the lady was denouncing him as an imposter.
 However, the head waiter firmly but smoothly laid the check on her table and personally helped her into her ermine wrap. She waddled out, screaming invectives and shak- ing her chubby fists. She was about five feet high and she weighed about 200 pounds. The large fan-shaped comb in her hair had slipped from place and was dangling by a hair, so that as she made her exit it looked like a dropping rooster's feather trailing in the rain.

Pigs On Market
 As Home Bodies

These pigs, too, are going to mar ket-some to decorate tea towels, two to become panholders simply too sute for words; and one of them, the very biggest one, ends up in the workshop and joins forces with a piece of lumber and the saw. Out he comes, the most serv- iceable slicing board you ever saw His tail forms ring by which he will hang in the kitchen.
 The tea towel designs are cut from print or plaid and appliqued very simply to the muslin. The work is easy and would appeal to the children during the holidays. The pan holder pair might even be filled with beans for endless hours of fun.
 To order, ask for No. C846l, or tear out illustration and send with 10 cents stamps or cain. (Any three 10 cent Make It Yourself" patterns only 25 cents.) Address your orders to Waterbury Democrat, Make It Yourself Pattern Bureau, Box 166, Kansas City, Mo Be sure to give name and complete address.

conception of the need of calcium and phosphorus to insure the devel- opment of sound teeth and to keep the teeth free from decay or carries (cavity formation). In this newfan- gled idea there is much truth, though it does not mean that any calcium, or phosphorus compound, organic or inorganic, nutritive or medicinal, is essential for the pros- pective mother, the young infant or the child. There is no scientific and no clinical evidence that such medi- cine is in any way beneficial to the teeth of mother, infant or growing child, except in certain instances of deficiency disease where the physi- cian's care is indispensable. As a routine propylactic measure it is of no advantage to feed mother or child such mineral elements or salts. Milk provides all the phosphorus and cal- cium and metabolism of mother or child requires.
 There is, however, the best of ex- perimental and mounting weight of clinical or practical evidence that an optimal intake of vitamin D throughout pregnancy not only pro- tects the mothers teeth from soft ening and decaying due to the de- mands for phosphorus and calcium to supply the needs of the growing foetus, but also promotes more vig- orous development of the jaws and teeth of the coming child-or the foundation thereof.
 The growing foetus, it must be re- membered, demands a certain amount of calcium and phosphorus for the formation of foundation tis- sues or structures which later on and takes these essential elements will be bone, teeth, nerve, muscle, from the mothers bones or teeth if necessary. That is, the foetus takes the calcium and phosphorus from the motors ration and so the moth- CTS own metabolism suffers from shortage.
 An optimal intake of vitamin D. more than is ordinarily considered necessary to maintain health-is therefore important throughout pregnancy. It is no less important than it is that the baby shall re- ceive daily ration of vitamin D throughout the first year of life. QUE"TIONS AND ANSWERS Foods Poor in Vitamin D What foods furnish vitamin D? CT. M. F0
 Answer = There is a limited amount of vitamin D in whole milk, cream, butter and yolk of egg, prac- tically none in any other food of man. Doubtful whether infant or child can get enough vitamin D from milk or egg yolk. Exposure of naked skin to sunlight enables body to pro- duce its own vitamin D. Generally advisable to give every infant some suitable preparation of vitamin D daily to supplement normal diet and exposure to sunlight.
 Aluminium Paint
 Is it sanitary to paint inside of ice box with aluminium paint? Are wa- terless aluminium cookers approved by medical or health authorities? (M. M.)
 Answer-Yes to both questions.
 TOnsil Diathermy On account of the distance of the doctors oflce from my home I had both sides treated at one time. The first time this caused a moderate reaction. The second time my throat was exceedingly sore for four or five days. Now it is time for another visit. (M. S)
 Answer-I believe it is unwise to attempt so much as one seance. Take your time and you will get more sat- isfactory result.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

way ot attention. The bunch of flowers you send across to Mrs. Smith may be identical with those growing in her own garden, but she won't care. It won't be the petunias and verbenas she will appreciate, but your gesture to friendliness. -- .
 Gestures with Big Meaning
 The quarter of cake you send across the hall to old MT. Scrooge or young Miss Holiday may only be a mouthful, gone with the next meal, but both of them in their fashion will remember warmly that someone thought uf them in their loneliness, or in their busy business lives, as the case may be.
 Children love to give, and to know that we give. There is a peculiar psychology about the generous gesture, and this is the warmth it gives both the giver and those near him.
 Put the thought away that gen. erosities of this kind look like trucking for favor, or set up feel ing of magnificence in the donor. If we're the right sort, nothing of the kind motivates us. And if we're not, we'd feel that way, anyway.
 The world has gotten too far away from these good old-fashioned at- tentions. And too far removed from simplicity. Don't feel that small attentions will be scorned. "Why, Mrs. Olds wouldn't be interested ill this book" we say, when she has a whole library of her own" Maybe she has, or perhaps she has read
 your book, but she'll be speaking more pleasantly when she discovers that you don't dislike her, as she had always thought.
 Favors Beyond Price
 Mrs. Meyers is .;l, and her maid has left, perhaps. Yes, you are very busy, and there are the ber- ries to put up, but well-yes, you can manage it some way. So you go over and ask if you can't take little May for the day until Dad- dy comes home. Perhaps Grand ma was arrived, so you won't be needed, and again you may firid the baby at your house for the day. But in any case, Mrs. Myers will always be your good neighbor, and you will be hers. .--
 All children adore their par ents being generous and good mixers. And speaking of gener- osity, here is an ', object lesson that takes root and grows. Boys and girls brought up in an att mosphere of consideration and kindness to strangers as well as friends, will develop a richness of character of their own, and par ents will reap, some day, an abund- ant harvest of their own.

Nausea, Painting, General Weakness May Precede Drop In Blood Pressure
T. M. Reg. U. S. Pat on.

heart pumps the blood, the amount of elasticity in the walls of the arteries, the amount of resistance in the tissues through which the blood must pass, and the volume of the blood. ..
 Variation in any of these factors may produce change in the blood pressure.
 The number of people who suf- fer with low blood pressure is con- siderable, but propably not as great as the number suffering with high blood pressure.
 Low blood pressure is not dis ease any more than is high blood pressure. Many 8 person with a fairly low blood pressure feels quite well in the vast majority of cir cumStances. ..,.
 Average blood pressure of men from 20 to 50 years of age is ap- pjroximately 120 nm. of mercury. If the blood pressure falls below no nm. of mercury at the time when the heart has contracted, 1t is considered to be within the limits of low blood pressure that may be harmful.
 On many occasions the blood pressure may fall suddenly. This occurs whenever a person is nau- seated, faintS or has severe hem orrhage. In some conditions asso- ciated with general weakness, the blood pressure is low. This occurs, for example, following influenza.
 The weakness or asthenia that occurs after influenza is well known. Not only does the person feel weak, but he perspires freely on exertion and gets weary, depressed and tired after small effort.
 When the infection is cleared up and the appetite returns, these people begin to feel better and their blood pressure rises promptly. After any long continued infection 8 similar condition may occur.
 In the control of this condition, rest is most important. If every one who has had a severe cold, even without a fever, would stay in bed during the worst part of the con- dition, and if everyone who has a fever would stay in bed one or two days after the temperature became normal, much degenerative disease, low blood pressure and general weakness could be avoided.

GlorVwng Yourself
By Alicia Hart

(NEA Service Staff COrrespOndent)
 Armed with plenty of suntan To- tion or oil, rich night cream, and a healthy fear of getting badly burned, any vacationer can take the fine business of getting lovely golden brown coat of suntan in her stride.
 It is important, of course, to make up your mind that you won't try to acquire an even coat of tan in a hurry. Don't sit in the sun the first day of your vacation until you are bliStered and burned. Put oil on face, neck, arms, legs and shoulders, then stay on the shore for only fif- teen minutes. Add ten minutes to this the second day, twenty the third, and so on until you are brown fish. After that the shade of tan you want determines the length of time you should spend in the sun.
 Incidentally, indirect rays cause the skin to tan, too, so don't relax under beach umbrella in the boil Ing sun hour after hour in the naive belief that your complexion is safe. A beach robe with long sleeves and a big hat should be worn by those who have decided they are brown enough.
 One application of suntan oil does not suffice. Put it on when you begin your sunbath and re- plenish the supply >,Ften. especially after a dip in the water.
 If you do get burned, clean skin with cleansing cream (not soap), apply a paste of baking soda and water and leave on for at least half an hour, moistening the paste from time to time. Then smooth on reliable salve, made especially to cure burns. This should stay on tor at least two hours or until it haS had a chance to be absorbed.
 G-au- of your efforts do not seem b relieve the burning or if your face knd arms start to swell, call a doc tor at once. Light cases of sunburn can be treated successfully at home,

THE BABY'S TEETH

HE DAD Dx O 1EE1n
 In view of the vast concern of parents, grandparents, neighbors and saireygamps about the effect of health upon dentition or vice versa, it is remarkable how indifferent ev- erybody is about the effect of health upon the development and preserva- ton of the teeth after the child has cut enough teeth to matter.
 One reason for the widespread popular indifference about preserva- tion of the teeth and prevention of tooth decay is, I think, the great gull libility of dentors and their passive attitude toward nostrum and quack- cry propaganda. Child-minded folk, assume that this absurd teaching is so, since the dentors apparently acquiesce or seldom utter a word of protest or denial.
 Despite the dignified silence of the near-doctors if you get what I mean) there is 8 growing popular
