7 4 Marking Articles to Prevent Loss BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The importance of having things dis- tinctly marked with the owner’s name and-address is never more keenly felt than just after articles have been lost. BY HAVING A PENCIL ATTACHED TO A PURSE OR CARDCASE. IT Wil SIMPLIFY RKING PACKAGES THAT MIGHT BE LEFT BY MISTAKE OR LOST. No one but the owner can be to hlame in most Instances when articles are lost, hut to censure one's self ix not satisfying. and it but adds to the distress of mind at the loss. Fre. anently the things lost are articles of nn value whatever to any one but the to her. And again the things may be of great intrinsic worth and cannot always be replaced because of the lack of sufclent’ money. Not ry one can expect to be so fortunate as one woman, who, after returning from a European trip, lost her purse in New York City. In it were several hundred pounds. As a pound is worth approximately $5 in American money, the loss was consid- erable. No card of her own was in Fortunately the finder was and through the slip from a shoe mender the rightful owner was finally found after several weeks. If the woman had put in the bag her own card and written above the amy ‘This purse helongs to Miss and had also written down the correct address if it was not engraved on the card, the finder would have been aaved a tedious amount of work in ascertaining who the owner was and the owner would have been saved much anxiety over her loss in the meanwhile. And we all know this to most unusually fortunate in- A Valued Book. Another woman who was traveling on the continent met many delightful persons. She had jotted'down the ad- dresses of her v friends in a wee address book she always carried with her. The one address she omitted to write in the book was her own. One day she lost the book and with it the addresses! It was a genuine misfor- tune, for friends could not be located and without communication with them friendships could not be kept up. No one but she would want the book, and any one finding it would without doubt have returned it gladly if it was known to whom it should pe sent. Since the loss ef friendships is often a= keen as the loss of money. her distress was great. Suggestions. Articles should be distinctly marked with name and address, and it is wise to add “Reward for return to owner" on the card containing the directions mentioned with the name of the owner. Among the things that should be so marked may be mentioned the following: Check book, pocket book, umbrella, suit case or bag especially when carried, books that are loaned, and music. Suit cases, bags, trunks and all luggage should have the own- er's cards with name and address fastened inside the top. Initials and cities where one lives should be put Willie , Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “I didn't mean to he bad: | went after hutter an’ me an’ Pug was just playin’ catch with it an’ the wrapper come off.” (Copyright, 1926.)

Marriages solemnized before or immediately after noon will lead to enduring happiness and the signs de- note that they will be free from fric tion. In the afternoon relaxation should be sought, as nervousness and restlessness will be felt, and this is a state of mind in which nothing of an important character should be at- tempted. It is a good opportunity for outdoor sports and recreations. Children born tomorrow are destined to suffer from one or more serious ll- nesses during the period of infancy and the gravity ‘or lightness of these attacks, and the manner of recovery, will depend very much on the nutri- tion they recelve as well as the. en- vironmeht.

PHILADELPHIA, May 28, 1776.— A general speeding-up of plans for the coming campalgns on land and sea has already resulted from the confer- ences which have been held" daily be- tween Gen.

Gates and Miffiin are also shar- ing in the deliherations. Although the proceedings of the con- ferences are carefully guarded against disclosure to the public, the character of the problema before the general and the Congressmen is well known. Firat, there ia the Canadian situation, with which the Indian problem is closely interlocked. as has already been point- | ed out in these dispatches. It is now hoped that the withdrawal from Can- ada which has been in progress'since May 6 may be checked and a deter- mind stand made at Dechambeau and on the islands in the St. Lawrence at the mouth of the Sorel. Unless these points can be atrongly fortified and held, there will be nothing to prevent the advance of the enemy to Crown Point and Ticonderoga. BEDTIME STORIE 150 YEARS AGO TODAY Story of the U. S.

If the British armies should follow up their present advantages and drive the Continental Army not only out of Canada, but even southward to Lake George, there s little doubt as to what the Indians of that section would do. ‘They would bodily join the British armies. This being only too well un- derstood here, it 18 a foregone conclu- sion that the commander-in-chiet will be authorized to employ Indians in the Continental Army upon such terms as he shall think most beneficial. One proposition i that the savages be engaged to undertake the reduction of the . British posts at Niagara ahd Detroit. This would keep them busy in sections where theyv could fight in their own way and perhaps against people of their own kind. As an in- ducement to undertake the Niagara and Detroit expeditions, Congress may offer to pay them 50 pounds for every British soldier whom they capture and bring to the headquarters of the In- dian commissioners. Army officers and Congressmen alike shrink from the idea of using the sav- ages in the campaigns in the East. ‘The present policy is to keep them from uniting with the King's armies for operations in the settled sections of the frontier.

When Johnny Chuck got back to his new home in the Old Pasture he was pretty well tired out. Yes, sir, he was pretty well tired out. He found tha Old Jed Thumper, the old, gray Rab- bit wha had lived all his life in the Old Pasture, hadn't exaggerated any when he had said that he knew every bit of the Old Pasture. Johnny had followed him about from one hiding place to another until it seemed to him that his legs would drop off. He was glad when at length he got hack home. For two or three days thereafter he was quite satisfied to go only far "OH.” SQUEALED JOHNNY CHUCK, AND TURNED A SOMERSAULT IN HIS HURRY.TO GBET INTO HIS HOUSE. enough from his own doorstep to get. enough to eat. The rest of the time he spent sleeping or sitting up on his doorstep or taking a sun bath. Now, while he was doing this Johnny did a lot of dreaming and wishing. He had day dreams as well @e night dreams. People who have little to do_usually do do a lot of dreaming. Now that he had seen the ©Old Pasture and some of the, people who lived there, including Buzztail the Rattlesnake, Johnny began.to wish that he might see certain others who had never come down on the Green Meadows when he lived there. “I wish,” sald Johnny, “that while I am up here in the Old Pasture I might see Ruster Bear. I have heard so much about Buster Rear—how big he is and all that—that I should like to see him. 1 don't belleve he's as big as they say he is. He must be higger than 014 Man Coyote, because the latter alwavs speaks of him with respect; but Tdon't suppose he is very much bigger.

Who could be coming down that path? The bushes rustied a lit- tle more and a little louder. Whoever it was must be hig! Johnny didn't know whether to dodge back into his house or to sit right where he was. He decided he could afford to it right where he was. Between where he sat and that path down which some one was coming the bushes were quite high. Johnny tried to peep under them. Presently he made out some black things moving. Thers were four of them. ' Johnny caught his breath. He knew they were feet, but he didn't believe there were any feet as big as those In all the Great World. His eyes popped out of his head. That is, they looked as if they were popping out. He held his breath. Suddenly two of those feet -disappeared, and then a great black paw rose up above the tops of the bushes and there was a “Woof! - Woot!" squealed Johnny Chuek and turned a back somersault in his hurry te get into the house. He had had many scares in his life, but none ltke this. Net umtil he got clear to the battom of house underneath the rocks did Johnny draw a long breath. “It—it—it must have been Buster sajd Johnny, and his teeth “I—I—I wonder if he saw My goedness!

BY EDNA KENT FORBES. Glossy Hair. If’ your hair has become cracked and dry and colorless as the result of too much waving either with a hot or metal wavers, you can pfrobably bring it back Into good condition by siving it a thorough brushing with a long-bristied brush. Since short hair has become almost universal hair ‘brushing has almost stopped, for short hair can be more easily arranged with the comb. Yet one prosperous chain of hairdressing shops with branches all over the world has made its repu- tation almost entirely on hrushing the hair. but brushing it with the ther- oughness that very few women under: stand. Rub your scalp with a good tonie. If you haven't one, the formula for the hest one I know of is in my pamphlet, “Beauty.” The most effec- tive way of applving the tenic—any tonie—is to pour a litle bit into small saucer, dip an old toothbrus into it, and rub the tonic' vigorout up and down the parting of the hair. The hair should be parted in different places until the whole scalp is cov- ered. Then begin brushing. Don't bang the brush down on the scalp, for that is frritating. Tnstead presa down firm- lv and brush as far along the scalp as you can. The brush should be the very best quality bristle, long and closely set. Many brushes are made of tiny splints of horn. These are stiff enough, but being thicker you cannot get as many of them in one brush as you can of bristles.

BY MIMI Message to Frightened Men. The boys have been busy with pen and ink lately pouring out thelr troubles to Mimi, and the poor things need a word of encouragement. They tell me they're worried over the dreadful tendencies of the modern girl. No, I seriously don't think any of them are solemn young reformers. Their main complaint against the girls isn’'t for moral reasons. Purely financial are the motives which impel them to wall over modern ways. Most of them say that they can’t af- ford to ‘“rush” really attractive gitls nowadays. The popular, good-looking, hreexy young miss can't be wooed and won by an ardent courtship carried on in the family living room, or thé back row of some nice, inexpensive movie. No, she's got to be courted in one of the first three rows of the most pop- ular show in town—she wants her hand held in a long, low. baby-blue racer of the most expensive make— and she craves a proposal over the table of the most exclusive night elub in the city. That's what the boys are crying abaut. Where do they get the cash to provide the modern girl with the set- ting she demands? If they do meet some one who meas- ures up to all their standards, and they want to save a little to have something to offer her—she . waves them away. She doesn't take any in- terest in watching the bank account grow. Her big kick comes from re- ducing it to a grease spot. It's a hard life for the boys these day; But, honestly, they mneedn't worry so much. Things aren’t as bad as they look. Girls aren’t digging just for the sheer pleagure of digging. But today every girl reads in news- papers, books and magazies all about the good times Miss Van R. of No.- Park avenue, New York City, enjoy They lap up the accounts of her g parties and wild successes. Then they turn around, give themselves a good once-ov and say: “Well, what's the matter with me? Don't I rate a little fun, too?"’ And from then on, they're out for a big' time. They don't mean any harm in the world, hoys. They don't systematically set to work to reduce the old bank roll. But they do want the pleasure of being big-timers for a little while. When the right man comes along, the average modern ‘‘gold digger” puts away her pick and shovel quiethy without any resistance. She gets just as interested in saving for the future home as she was in spending. Oniy she wants to have a good time while she's young. And she figures if other girls are painting the town red there's no reason why she should confine her- self to the nearest movie. You, Mr. Worrled Young Man, if you're the man she wapts to marry will find that undernealh the giddy pleasure-seeking exterfor there’s the good, old-fashioned commonsense housewife who will help vou save. once she puts her mind to it.

What is the “double cure” spoken of in the hymn “Rock of Ages”? Answer—The stanza you quote ex- plains itself in the prayer of the next line, “Cleanse me from its guflt and power.” The penalty of sin's gullt and the dominion of sin itself can be abolished by one act of Divine grace.
