Molla stopped. Mr.. Whitworth
motioned for her to continue. Re-
signedly, as though 1t were an Or

1T was dark. Not a star In the

Then it came-that which they
feared every moment as they lay
In their beds at night. Several Of

doors, despite the instructions the
captain had repeated to them time
and time again.

Molla shrugged her shoulders.

 THEY MAKE THE MOST
 OF THEIR LOOKS
 And as rule they make the most of their looks. Appearance is more important to them than to women who have lived in the same community for years and can get by on their money, family background, or just the fact that everyone knows them.
 They know how to play, too, a thing that lot of women forget after they have settled down to being good wives and mothers.
 So it is stimulating to the other women of community to have army and navy wives move in The home town women who don't make friends with them are not only lacking in hospitality but are missing an opportunity to pick up some pointers on living.

 Here is a simple and excellent massage routine:
 Rest your right foot on a stool or the kitchen chair or stepstool Keeping the knee straight, put some cold cream or a reducing cream on the ankle and leg. Grasp your ankle with both hands - firmly - and work upward to the knees. Be- gin over again and, gradually strengthening torso, massage upward to the thighs. Now repeat with the left leg.

 According to the report of the inquest a 15-months old child found and ate such pills or tablets, and died of strychnine poisoning. The coroner's jury added to their verdict of accidental death from strychnine poisoning the recommendation that "the Patent Medicine Act Cit hap pened in Canada) should be chang ed to the effect that any patent medicine containing poison should be specifically marked POISON, as in this case the parents were un- aware of the poisonous content of the pills"
