Of course, when Farmer Brown' Boy got there he saw at once the mischief which Johnny Chuck had done.

Johnny had bitten out th all the way around it, and he that that tree could not live. He knew that there would never be any apples on that tree. ° “Now, what under the sun did that ‘Woodchuck do this for?" muttered Farmer Brown's Boy. ““He didn’t need this bark for food.

Many people are annoyed by little dilated venules about the cheeks or the sides of the nose. In some cases this {s only a feature of rosacea, but in just as many cases there is no par- ticular “rum blossom” or acne rosacea associated with the little red lines. About the only way these little “broken blood vessels’” can he render- ed inconspicuous is by galvanic de- struction with a flne needle, although the high frequency treatment will sometimes improve appearances. The medical term for these dilated venules is telanglectasia. We give a resound- ing name to any trifling condition we can't do very much for, a5 a matter of policy. Millum is the name for wee small cystic whitish masses which appear most commonly under the eyes of women. They seldom become larger than a pin head. If they seem a blemish they may be obliterated by puncture and expression of their solid contents. Xanthoma—now we're getting reck. | less with the medical terms—is sort of an_enlarged and expansive millum, wide yellowish plates embedded in the skin, often seen in the skin of the eyelids, sometimes about the routh. One of the best ways of obliterating xanthoma is to touch each I a fine pointed electrocauter times patches of xanthoma appear on the palms or soles and for the obliter- ation or removal of the individual patchies in these situations one of the best things is the well known corn remedy—30 grains, half a dram, of sallcyllc_acid _dissolved in_half an ounce bf flexible collodion. This 1 to be painted on the patch once dally for a week or longer, when the patch wil soften and come away. The same corn remedy. by the way is not only useful for ordinary corn. and calluses on the soles, but also for soft corns if the toes can be kept sep arated_and the epace between ther dry. The nsefulness of the corn ren edy does not end there.

MOST people dread the ap- proach of Pyorrhea. rightly. Yet, there is really little danger of Pyorrhea if proper methods of oral > | o sua| And hygiene are practiced and if you will have your dentist examine your teeth and gums twice a year. It is simply a question of guarding The Danger Line—where gums and teeth join. Various things, such as too stiff a tooth-brush or gritty tooth-paste, can cause this rounded ledge of the gum to recede or be injured. . . . But so long as The Danger Line is protected and the delicate gum tissue maintained in a healthful condition, Pyorrhea rarely occurs. Science offers a dentifrice that will provide pro- tection against it. Squibb’s Dental Cream will guard against irritation and infection at The Danger Line. Dental authorities acknowledge that it can do much to prevent Pyorrhea. Squibb’s Dental Cream contains more than 50 per cent of Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia. This safe, effective, palatable antacid neutralizes the acids that cause decay. And after each brushing, tiny particles of it remain lodged in the mouth, protecting the teeth and gums for a considerable time after use. Guard yourself against Pyorrhea. Use Squibb’s Dental Cream morning and evening. On sale at drug stores everywhere—only 40c a tube. The way you wash stockings is so impor- tant nowadays - - - -TINTED hosiery— silk or rayon—to match each frock—so delicate, frail. Bold, gay woolen stockings to complete the sports ensemble. Such charming colors, such in- triguing designs! Never were these important accessories lovelier than this year. Or more sensitive to laundering! Frequent rubbing with cake soap soon makes stockings lose their new freshness—wear out in almost no time! Especially is this true today when so many, many stockings are silk and rayon mixtures. (Ray- on, you know, is the new textile fibre—lustrous, beautiful, but fra- gile when wet.) Tiny particles of the undissolved soap catch in the fine meshes and only more rub- bing can force them out. This rubbing destroys the bloom of silk, stretches and breaks rayon fibres, shrinks and mats wool! W'n-n LUX there is no ruinous rubbing! You can safely entrust the most delicate fabric, that water alone won’t harm, to its gentle, bubbling suds. Just launder your stockings and pre- cious underthings as directions on the package tell you to. ’ ’ v To eliminate complaints about materials, the foremost depart- ment stores and fabric makers are asking customers to be sure they always use Lux. As one great store puts it, “Experience shows that nothing saves fabrics like Lux.” For your protection, Lux is sold only in the familiar blue packages plainly marked LUX. Lever Bros.
