of Jean Baptiste Lagimoniere. noted
hunter and courier du bois in Canada.
In 1915 the growing hostility be-
tween two great fur companies, the

called for quick action. Early in the
winter Colin Robertson, who had
charge of Fort Douglas, Hudson's Bay
stockaded stronghold in the West,
found it necessary TO get message to
Lord Selkirk in Montreal as soon as

East OF Detroit he was oyertaken
by a sleigh driven by mail carrier TO
whom he felt safe in telling the story
of his mission. Then the mail carrier
offered 10 take him all the way to
Montreal. provided Lagimoniere would
allow him to deliver the letter to Lord
Selkirk. But the courier du bois re-

himself and he would do it or die.
On and on across the wintry wastes
of Canada he made his way and at

10000 One-Cent Sales Tax Stamps To
Qualify For Three Dollar Redemption

A bill providing for the redemp-
tion of Ohio sales tax receipts at
three per cent of their face value
has been passed by the state legis-
lature and is now before Governor
John Bricker for approval.
In the act it is specified that the
minimum redemption allowance will
be for S100 worth of sales tax cou-
pons at face value. Thus it would
require 10000 one-cent stamps to
qualify for So.
Stamps presented for redemption
must be sorted as to denomination
so that their value may be deter
mined by weighing rather than by
manual count
Gov. Bricker is expected to sigr
the bill, and it is announced that
it will go into effect on May l. A
, new issue of stamps will be released
at that time.
The bill is written to provide that
prepaid tax receipts can be present
ed for redemption by any individual
but it specifically provides for re
demption by health, welfare, charit
able, religious, educational, fraterna
and patriotic organizations which
were in existence on Dec. 81, 1898

PATTERN 76

Take a tip from Cupid-and make yourself a romantic-looking Heart" Apron, as well as @ pretty apron with shield-shaped bib. Both styles are by Claire Tilden, and come from her newest Pattern 768. The ruffle trim on A brings to mind the sweet ness of an old-fashioned Valentine. Ric-rac suits the sturdier charm of apron B with pointed hemline. This style has straps that cross securely at back, while A has a bracelet effect strap circling the neck. These -and many more details-are set forth in the easy step-by-step Sew ing Guide enclosed with the pat tern. Both aprons have a smooth fit and 8 hemline ripple that suit all figure types. You'll love them for birthday and trousseau gifts!
 Pattern 768 is cut in sizes small, medium and large. Small size, view A, requires 7-8 yards 35 inch fab- rio, and 8 5-8 yards lace edging; view B, 2 1-8 yards 35 inch fabric and 2 1-2 yards ric-rac.

TAN CUPID'S latest version of A the traditional heart theme for q Valentine centerpiece is this glamorous design which will appeal to party-givers who like to make their table decorations and add to their reputation for originality. [ The hearts are made from alter nate layers of red and crinkled clear I"Cellophane" cellulose film, bord- cred with doilies of paper lace, and decorated with narrow silver-edged red ribbon of the film. The standing hearts have wired ribbon stems and larger heart designs are spread over the base and brought upward at the center. The base is just a box covered with the red wrap ping.
 This centerpiece is simple to make. For the standing hearts, cut eight red hearts 6" in diameter, then crush sheet of clear film as line as possible. spread 1t. and cut eight 2" hearts. Now wind a 367 length of heavy wire with a M" strip of white crepe paper, lay it along the center of a 12" piece of the ribbon so it extends 2" be- yond one end, and secure with transparent Scotch Tape.

 A. Young babies should be bathed daily. During the first two weeks bathing and all the matters per- taining to the care of the infant should be under the supervision of @ doctor or nurse. The tub bath may be given as soon as the navel scar has fully healed. For several weeks @ tiny baby may be bathed in a basin or bowl; after that a baby tub should be used.

RAISING A FAMILY
Too Soft a Life Makes Child
 Take Real Trouble Too Hard
By Olive Roberts Barton

no meals for day or two, then gradually they got over it. They knew that Toby was dead and now death was accepted. Did their hearts ache too much? Should they have been spared their tears?
 We used to see sickness and suf- fering at home. Now everyone goes to the hospital. Children see little of that. A good thing, too, for many reasons. Yet, will the results be an end of sympathy and the desire to help? And will the future mean that anyone who suffers will be put out of sight like the lepers of old? Is all pain to be kept out of sight as the years go by?
 am not answering anything, because do not know. But my old friend set me to thinking. Life is real and life is earnest. It holds tragedy and trouble. Are children being hoaxed as to its realities? If so, they may suffer doubly some day.

FAsTIDIoUs FROM SKIN OUT

< The fastidious woman keeps her foundation garments as immaculate as the rest of her wardrobe. She launders them frequently, no less than once week, with a bland soap and lukewarm water. Even the most fragile foundation, provided 1t is washable, should not be harmed by correct laundering. She uses a mild soap, lots of 1t, thoroughly dissolved, in tepid water, because very hot water and strong soaps do not treat elastic kindly. She dips the garment up and down in the suds, handling 1t gent ly, and uses a soft brush on extra soiled spots. She rinses 1t thoroughly in lukewarm water until every bit of the studs has disappeared, then squeezes (not wrings) out the excess water and hangs it to dry away from direct heat. She uses medium hot iron to smooth out the fabric sec- tions, but does not iron at all the elastic inserts.
