Did you ever try to drag a garden settee from that spot which you at first thought to be ideal to another part of the yard, only to find that it did not look as well? In spite of the fact that it is not as attractive in its | new setting, probably nothing could hire you to move it back again, because FEATURES. “Children it meant tugging, pushing, digging up am>nd; measure will m>ndments, so that the grass and rumpling an otherwise first- SUIT YOUR SELF) more appear.

Long bhngs are becoming. If your hair is bobbed let it be fluffy at the sides, with the | ends rolled up. Show the lobes of your ears. If you have long hair, arrange it in waves and twist it in a horizontal coil across the back of your head. A Jow side part might also be becoming. (2) It takes patient effort, day after | day, to get rid of blackheads. Stop | using make-up fer a while as a first | step toward their cure. Cleanse your skin at bedtime with cold cream and then steam it lightly by holding against it a face cloth wrung out in hot water, Repeat the hot application three times. Now wash your face with plenty of soap and warm water and rinse well. Press out the larger blackheads and apply an antiseptic lotion afterward, boric acid solution.

Dear Miss Leeds: I am 19 years old, My hair is thin and very fine and | grows very slowly. How can I make it | | grow faster? I am 5 feet 5 inches tall |and weigh 139 pounds. | | MISS NINETEEN. | Answer.—It is not possible to change | the texture of the hair from fine to | coarse, but you may stimulate its growth | | 50 that it will be more abundant. Make | |a point of massaging your scalp for at least 10 minutes each day. Do not just | Tub the surface of the scalp, but move | the scalp over the skull; loosen up the |scalp. If the scalp is of the dry type, | rub & lttle castor oil into it every night. | | Before your shampoo have a hot ofl treatment with a mixture of equal parts | of mineral oil and castor ofl. | Apply the oil warm to the scalp, | steam it in with several hot towels ap- | plied successively, then shampoo with | pure castile soap. Lather and rinse | three separate times before the final | |rinse. ~You may apply a stimulating scalp tonic before the hair has dried | entirely. I eannot very well prescribe a particular tonic without knowing Wwhether your hair is oily or dry, and | its color.” Give your hair an air bath dally—that is, shake and fan it so that the air can get to the roots. Shake it In “z;.e sunlight also for a few minutes You are about 13 pounds above the average weight for your age and height.

Provincialism s a natural fault or virtue. We are prone to live unto our selves and to regard ‘me and mine” as superior to others, The widely traveled individual is less inclined to' provincialism. The world is his onlon, and wherever he hangs his hat is, as ‘the old song goes,” “home sweet home to him.” And yet there lingers in his soul a certain amount of provineial tendencies. He seldom for- gets the little mud-flat town that gave him birth. We have heard hard-boiled travelers in foreign lands refer almost p‘atheuully to a tiny, obscure hamlet Where life was better and the air fresher than in any other place, This loyalty to his birthplace is a cousin to the patriotism that sends him to the battie- front when his country is in danger of invasion or its rights are to be defended.

It is required that the structure shall be maintained as a free bridge. A draw must be constructed of suffi- clent width to permit the free passage of vessels navigating that part of the river, unless the new bridge shall be constructed upon, or by the side of, or up the river from the present aque- duct and at the same or greater ele- vation above the water. It is stipulated that no steam power shall be used on the new bridge or its approaches. If he so determines, the Secretary of War is authorized to build the new bridge upon the piers of the Alexan- canal, or to use the present wooden bridge on such piers as long as it can be so used conveniently and safely, and afterward to build and| maintain a new bridge upon those | plers; provided, however, that the present bridge and plers can be pur- chased for $100,000 of the amount appropriated in the bill for the pro- posed new bridge. In the event of the purchase of the old wooden bridge, the Secretary of War is authorized to repair it at a cost of $10,000. The new bridge is not to interfere with the Alexandria ceanal and shall be strong enough and so constructed as to allow the trough or trunk of the canal to rest securely thereon, but it is provided that the United States Government shall not be charged with | the expense of building or maintain- | ing this canal trough. The Commissioners are very much gratified at the recent increase in the District vevenues. For a number of years prior to 1878 the receipts from licenses fell off, due chiefly to the eyasion of the license laws, which had become quite general. About 15 months ago the Commis- | sioners designated C. S. Jones to give | his entire attention, as license inspec- tor, to those who were evading the law, with the result that the total liquor licenses alone have jumped from about $50,000 to about $67,000.

He had written with a lead pencil something which he wished to change. “Why don’t you attach an eraser to the pencil?” asked Train. The man got out a patent and made a fortune. Train himself wasn't interes- ted in money-making. He knew all about the process and was interested in other things. If ever human mind worked faster or more furiously than this former Bostonian's, history has not recorded it. Reared on his grandmother’s farm at | Waltham, Mass., he started work in| tle shipping office of his uncle, Enoch | Train, in Boston, when he was 15. By the time he was 20 he had ob- tained an interest in the business that brought_him $10,000 a year. The California gold boom found him | wide-awake, He created a sailing fleet of 40 ships for the California trade. Next he went to Australia during the gold strike there. He established a shipping and commission house that soon was bringing him in nearly $100,000 annually. He now showed up in Europe. His money opened all doors to him. Hand- some, magnetic, dashing, he kept them open. He became the friend of Na- of France and of Queen Maria Chris- tina of Spain. After the war he pro- jected the Union Pacific Rallway and founded the city of Omaha. While in Omaha he complained to the proprietor of a hotel about his service, “Go build a hotel to suit yourself,” said the boni- | face rudely. Train did—in 60 days. In 1872 he announced himself a can- didate for President of the United States. With his usual rashness he de- fended the free love theortes of the then famous Virginia Woodhull, Jailed and charged with insanity, he was tried and adjudged unbalanced. He appealed, however, and got a reversal. While all this was going on he lost much of his money. However, he had lost interest in money making. He now devoted himself to being a “crank.” He lived in a Mills hotel on three dol- lars a week, practicing a vegetarian diet, and wrote and spoke things no- body else dared to sponsor, Early in the seventies he circled the globe in 80 days, forestalling Jules Verne's famous book. Doing the stunt q “‘Verne stole my thunder: I'm Phileas Fogg.” At the age of 74, Train dictated a 100,000-word bjography in 35 hours.

GUNN. “Yet I Will Rejoice.” Text: “Although * * * yet I will re- Joice in the Lord."—Hab, 1ii.17-18. Although what? “Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the flelds shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stall.” A pretty bad situation. The fruit season barren. The erops a failure. ‘The meat uulrply cut off. A general shortage of all food supplies. A famine and starvation threatened. “Yet I will rejoice in the Lord,” says the man of faith. Said Charles Dickens: “Troubles are exceedingly gregarious in their nature, and flylng in flocks are apt to perch capriciously.” It seems as though when a man has an adverse turn in his affairs, misfortunes heap up upon him. A comment often made regarding this is, “It never rains but what it pours.” “Yet I will rejoice.” Better to rejoice than to rebel. Better to whistle than to whine. Your troubles will not hurt ou unless you allow them to harden | you, and make you sour and bitter and skeptical. “I will rejoice—in the Lord.” If you have rejoiced in the Lord in the | day of prosperity, you ought to be able to rejoice in Him in the day of adversity. If He permits you to walk in the dark, remember the apt words of Carlyle: | “The eternal stars shine out as soon as | it is dark enough.” Of/all the times when you need to be cheerful, it is when your troubles are many and great. What ever dis- | asters befall you, no matter what de- feats you suffer, let your response to it all be—“Yet I will rejoice.” .

But, just think how nice it would be have a garden settee like the one shown in the {llustration! Sturdy wheels in place of rear legs, small han- dles (hardly noticeable) at the upper part of the back and the light con- struction of the piece make it possible to move it to any part of the garden at any time with no inconvenience to yourself or damage to the lawn.

Children eat more sandwiches today than ever before. And it is just plain common sense that in those sandwiches there ought to be the very best of food materials. They oughtalso to be tasty, because when children eat food with a relish they digest it mor- easily. Not only is Bond Bread made of the purest and finest ingredients, but it is close-baked.
