THINNING NAIL POLISH.
THANKS to Mrs. F. E. S.,
Washington
If Mrs. l.. x. E. will use a good
nail polish remover, preferably one
with oil, to thin her polish, believe
she will be pleased with the results
Sufficient remover may be added
from time to time to keep polish at
consistency desired, but care should
be taken not to shake the mixture
as shaking forms air bubbles that
cannot be eradicated The brush
may be used to mix to smooth con-
sistency.
I find that two or three coats of
thin polish will chip much less easily
than one coat of thick gummy
polish.
BY this method I use my polish
to the very last bit.

is called "coddling" and the eggs

Ensign NARROW
Awarded Medal

Ensign Wilbert F. NARROW, u.
S. NJ, has been awarded the Navy
and Marine Corps medal. His
wife, the former Jean Parsons, is
the daughter of the late R. G. Par
sons and sister of Mrs. N. K. Hege,
of West Jefferson.
The award was made by Rear
Admiral Freeland A. Daubin,
Commander submarine, Atlantic
Fleet. Ensign NARROW was award
ed the medal ssfor heroism and
outstanding performance of duty
as electrical officer of a United
States submarine on war patrol in
enemy controlled waters. The
sinking of 10000 tons of enemy
tankers and damaging of $4,000
tons of enemy shipping, including
a destroyer, was materially con-
tributed to by the actions of this
officer during this patrol. Dur
ing the long hours of chase, attack
and counter attack, his conduct
was an inspiration to those who
served with him; thus aiding in
the delivery of repeated attacks
and the subsequent escape Of his
vessel during counter attacks. ;

Mothers Day,
May IA, 1914
Mother Dear of Mine,
You know that am a long
ways from you, but my love for
you still goes with me, wherever
1 may go, or where ever may be.
Mother dear, know you are the
dearest thing on earth to me.
While I am away from you, mo-
Their, am thinking about you and
praying for the day to come when
I can come back to you.
Mother, this little poem is very
sweet. It makes me think how
you have cared for me and made
me what I am. I thank you, Mo-
Their, for everything.
I am wishing you very, very
happy Mothers Day. May God
Bless you.
Love Always,
Warren
o Mother of my childhood's pleas
ant days!
Still whispering courage and dis
polling fears
In daylight hours or quiet moon
light rays,
Are you a dream come from my
younger years?
Or do you really walk along the
ways,
And know my triumphs or my in
ner tears,
That quickly cease when you
close by me seem?
Let me sleep on, dear God, if
but dream.
-Ehrmann.
