 Thayer had run into Hildreth shortly after coming out of the Blood Bank and Hildreth had taken her In charge at once. Come along home; I'll make some tea" 4
 So within half an hour Thayer had found herself in a comfortable chair, a cup in her hand and her sharp-eyed hostess opposite,

 Balance Is Key To Good Posture
By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

"The handsomest posture ever saw" says c CT friend back from the wars, twas that of a South Sea s native woman who balanced water pals from the opposite ends of a yoke"
 Her walking efSortlesSly under q back blending burden may have opened this soldiers eyes wide, but 1t doeoSn't surprise posture experts They say the balancing of weight which gives you less of load (youI own hefD to carry, Is the secret oi good posture.
 Remember this when you have to stand in line or want to lick fatigue during miles of walking Imagine that your weight Is 6 yoke or Q head-borne basket of clothes. Do this, and you can't possible shift weight from It's steady See-saw level.
 But to maintain this yoke-line balance in motion, hew to line when you walk. That line should parallel between your feet. Down there, put the burden of your weight on the outer borders Of your feet.

 Now hat Carol Landls has re- nounced her determination to be Mrs. Horace Schmidlapp, it's to be hoped that she will also renounce the chip she's been wearing on her shapely shoulder. Miss Landis has made the mistake of comporting herself like a top-flight star when, as a matter of fact, she still has stardom to win. She has persisted in telling her producers what parts she would or would not play, and she has walked out on contracts when the men who pay her salary refused to bow to her ultimatums. Perhaps, as Mrs. Horace Schmidt lapp, she might be able to afford such tactics, but she can't afford them as Carole Landis, screen ace treSs. Too many equally attractive girls are ready and able to take her place.

DEVELOPMENT AND DECLINE

DEVELOPMENT AND DECLINE
 It is only Q fortnight since gave my opinion that glass of wine or beer once or twice a day makes life easier for many elderly folk and that when the old folk have their daily solvent the yare easier to live with. It is too early to assay the effect of this, I Sup- pose, but up to this writing I have not read the first of the blizzard of letters I expect to receive in consequence.
 In approving and advocating this regular use of alcoholic beverages by elderly people I am not unmind- ful of the fact that my mother was an active member of the Womens Christian Temperance Union, that she persuaded her children to give her a, sacred pledge-nothing is more sacred than a promise tc ones mother--against the use of any form of alcohol or tobacco be- fore we were twenty-one. still be- lieve that if some millions of chil- dren fated ot grow up in Yankee land today had mothers like mine in that respect-well, 1t wouldn't be so bad for their happiness ane welfare. If mothers are indifferent about 1t, then wouldn't 1t be 6 finC thing if fathers assumed such pro. tective custody of their children during the formative yars2
 What I mean to say Is that if the influence of the w. c. T. U. and of other temperance societies or yliove- mentS was needed when we were kidwse in Canandaigua and only abandoned women ventured to visit even the high class bar, what Q rotten break the kids get todway, with the easy enticement of the cocktail lounge" on every corner end sophisticated ladies (ehD doing their stuff there.
 Perchance some readers will ir- fer that I am inconsistent. ad- wise the old folks to have 6 glass of wine or beer twice Q day for the sake of health and good cheer. At the same time advise young peo- pie to be total abstainers for at least the first fifty years, and no ifs or ends about 1t.
 It's like this: From my knowl- edge of the action of alcohol on the body, It's effects on metabolisn, physical and mental efficiency, res- piration, circulation, growth, devel- opment, I am convinced that in any concentration or quantity alcohol is always harmful and often dam gerouS to any one who has not reached full maturity and begun to die.
 This Is not just my notion but the simple truth. All life, animal, vegetable, human. fololws the or- dained cycle of birth, growth, de. velopmnet, reproduction, maturity, decline or degeneration and death. Death is the periodic reduction of life materials to elementary form for reconstruction. At no point in the life cycle is there q percepti- ble pause, It is constant change. Tn the biological sense death is the gradual decline or degeneration that begins the moment the body has attained full maturity. The rate of progress of this decline de- pends largely upon the body's Tlu. tritIonal condition. That, of course, depends on how you have lived.
 And SO say, if and when you have begun to die, a glass of wine or beer once or twice e day will make your dying easier for you and for those who love you and live with you.

U it's no wonder that Pvt. William

dict just where Nazi projectiles will
strike, If they fly his way.
Pvt. Mashburb has had the seat
of his pants shot away SO many times
by the German artillery that the
clerks in the quartermaster's depot
automatically reach for a new pair
when they see him coming. Three
times, at last report, 1t has happened.
