With New Luminoid Cylinder _ Clothes washed perfectly at the press of a button—an entire week’s washing in an hour or so. with no back-breaking and fabric-tearing rubbing. Deferred Payments if Desired The success of this new cylinder lies in its unique con- struction. The holes are counter-sunk, punched and beaded— in other words, the edges are turned over and then turned in, thus overcoming for all time one of the greatest objections to metal cylinders. In other metal cylinders the holes are sharp and may cause positive injury to the clothes. But the peculiar, smooth construction of the Thor Cylinder leaves absolutely nothing to cause wear or tear while operating or handling. . Itis for this reason that the New Thor Luminoid Cylinder is far more durable—far more sanitary—and easier on your clothes than any other metal cylinder made.

To be sure, all that John could see were two round, blue eyes and a pink nose. The rest was totally submerged beneath a fur-edged bon- net and cape and delectable pink sitk quilted coverings. “But I'm so worried,” conflded fhe favorite cousin. “Ted is in the tele- phone booth this minute. You see we're going up to Yale to the prom. And the new nurse is so stupid that we didn’t dare leave the baby home.

The precious child was certainly behaving like a cherub.

The most disastrous effect dignity has upon us js perhaps the mani- fold evils of bad posture. The belly (which, as some of you know, is the front wall of the abdomen) slumps from sheer weakness and flabbiness of its unused muscles, and when this slump occurs the digestion, cir- culation and nervous system inevi- tably suffer more or less impairment of thelr functions. Corsets, belts, supporters and similar makeshifts fall far short of properly trained muscles in preventing these evils. The woman is well advised who re- solves in her youth to eschew such snares and retain her figure, her health and her youth by t-aining her own muscles to do their proper work. This requires regular daily exerci of course—about fifteen min- utes it properly directed, say along the lines of my symphony. From the hygienic point af view it is quite as wrong to omit the daily exercise as it is to skip the daily wash, even as- suming one’s occupation is so dirty as to neccssitate daily body washing. The revised gymphony begins and ends with half a dozen rolls dos-a- dos, forward and backward, just to put you in the right frame of mind to derive the fullest pleasure and benefit from the rest of the piece. Maybe you're an old codger already and afrald to turn somersaults even forward; maybe you're in the in- ciplent stage of senility and merely unable to roll them back. Never mind. Keep trying. If at first you don’t succeed just- keep at it, and it your case is still amenable to treatment some fine day you'll find you can roll them forward and back- ward and see nary a star. Even if you are not a lover of this kind of music, I commend the practice of rolling some somersaults first thing each morning and last thing each night.

That stick was salt, for it had been dipped in a pail of salt water. Prickly Porky whined with eagerness as he followed that stick. He even tried to run aftef it. lle didn't care where it might take him to if only he could catch up with it and taste that de- licious salt. = Precently Farmer Brown's Boy dropped the stick and Prickly Porky, with a sigh of happiness, began to gnaw off the bark and chew even the THE!

Watching his chance he snatched away the stick which Prickly Porky was chewing. Prickly Porky grunted and whined fretfully. He didn't fee where the stick went to and he be- gan to nose about for it. Then he! smelled the salt in the barrel, and without hesitating an instant walked | right in and contentedly began to| eat_the salt twigs in that. Farmer Brown's Boy turned the barrel on end and there was Prickly Porky on the bottom of it, a pris- oner, though he didn't know it. ~But he wouldn't have minded if he had known.
