"What have the little beggars been up to now?” asked father, looking up from his newspaper. "Why they made a mess of my sewing room,” explained the wife. “Needles, reels of cotton, scissors —everything lias been hidden away in the most unexpected places. It is really exasperating. Her husband laid down his paper and smiled benignly. "I did that," he said calmly, j Then, in answer to a questioning i look, he went on: “You tidied up my desk so beautifully the otlter day that I thought it only fair to return the compliment. So I tidied up your sewing room.” Miss Esther Pennington, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pennington.l was fourteen years old ami for the <»"- casion a lovely birthday party was: given Thursday afternoon at her home.i The affair was a surprise.

It Is well to be prepared. The word . when applied to war is almost infinite in Its possibilities. Preparations of this nation for eventualties with another country or group of countries could be carried too far to an undesirable extreme. We can be underprepared for war, on the other band we might be so much overprepared that grim, cosily, deadly war would be inevitable. There is absolutely no doubt that , hundreds of Adams county citizens are underprepared for tuberculosis. Too many of them are paving the way for rapid inroads by consumption, by presenting overdrafts at the Bank of Vitality. Some of these overdrafts i are labeled "Bad Air." "Insufficient , Food.” “Carelessness.” "Worry." , If you would avoid tuberculosis, prepare your self against It by avoiding overdrafts on the Bank of Vitality. Questions And Answers To the editor: Occasionally, maybe] once a month. I spit a little blood 1 streaked sputum. 1 may only spit n; once or twice and then by sputum gets; its regular color back again. This, now occurs and I am in pretty good i condition. Is the spitting of bloody sputum likely to occur with one in such a condition? AnxiousBlood streaked sputum such as you describe is not an unfrequent occur ] ance with persons who have had not tuberculosis. It is caused in this <as p by catarrh of the throat. Frequently., however, it . does come from the dis-i eased areas in the and may not. be of significance. This should b”' determined by your physician who is the only one who can tell whether it is likely to recur. Dear Editor—Do you consider th ;: climate of Ixjs Angeles. Cal., good for an incipient tuberculous person? 1 have lieen a chauffeur lor eight years and will it be good for me to: go back to my old trade again, and wil! the dust hurt me to inhale it oa the road? Los Angeles lias an excellent dim-, ate. The occupation of chauffens is. generally speaking, a good one. Care should be taken to avoid as far as possible taking other people's dust, which mean however, keeping w 11 rather than racing to get in front. To the Editor—lt is dangerous to work in a printing office with a consumptive? We keep the windows open part way all the time. It is dangerous unless the consumptive is very careful with his sputum, and in other way, observes the rules a tuberculosis person should follow. You do well to keep the window open. Open them all the way instead of "part way" If you wish we won’d be glad to send you literature whit'i you could give to the man who lias j tuberculosis, telling him how to care for himself so that the danger to others will be minimized. Send a stamped, self addressed envelope, if you would like to have the literature. o THAT PIE "Arrah, my boys, but that pie was a daisy. Flaky and tender, crispy and brown; To see what was in it the people were crazy; Nothing like it was known in the town." That will be the result next Monday evening, when J. J. Baumgartner will sell pies and cakes at auction at the Herald office. The Progressive class of the Presbyterian Sunday-school will be there to let you have one piece or a whole pie. Be sure to come and give a bid to make the time merry. g & ■ o PIANO TUNING ANO REPAIRING. D. A. Gllliom, rebuilder and repairer of pianos and sewing machines, end piano timer.

AU PARIS IN DREAD VISIT OF ZEPPELINS BROUGHT ABOUT REIGN OF TERROR. Propriety and Decorum Forgotten In tho Mad Ruth for Safety—Panic That Ended Only With the Coming of Doyllght The Zeppelins came to Paris. They came and lingered and departed. But oh what happened as they lingered! 'Twas on© of the clock—one in the early morn. The hotel near the Etoile and not far from the Eiffel tower had settled itself to sleep, finally. Naught disturbed the quiet but snores from the room of the stray Englishman, stopping for the night, and the faint echo of rustling silks as the Russian princess swished to retirement. It was a etili morning. “Ta ra ta ta! E-on-e-on!” The jangle shattered the stillness and reshattered it. It echoed through the courtyard and bent through corridors; it shocked instant activity into all who blded in the hotel. Followed a terrific “bang, bang, ping-ping-ping-ping!” that shook the building as though it were an eggshell. Then came the clamor of doors opening, questioning voices, nervous queries, screams, ffind the scuttling of suddenly awakened, disheveled guests down the halls. They scuttled in many stages of dress and undress; with hats, without hats, in dressing gowns and pajamas, all clutching little bags or packages In which were hoarded the family wealth. Time wore on to 1:45 and guests began to whisper that it was only a joke after all, to test Paris. Down In the courtyard a dog howled. Another earth-rocking detonation. Some raced to the roof, some to the cellar. Those who went to the roof saw the whole sky illuminated, and a glowing, transparent, cigar-shaped form directly above which was the Zeppelin. The guns of Paris were blazing toward H. But it floated, unconcernedly. Those who went to the roof raced madly to the cellar. Draggled looking Americans sat on a long, wooden table, one of them lying, full-length, asleep. Bunches of bananas and strings of sausages hung over her head, the Russian princess sat in a chair, with all her jewels on and wrapped in furs, with her feet bare. A Swedish baroness had borrowed a British army coat and cap and was smoking cigarettes in another. On the floor a cat played * ith her kittens. Thus the darkness wore away. The Zeps departed anon, and guests returned to their beds. At 8:30, when the porter cleaned up the hall, he found an elegant pink silk corset hung on one of the chairs. The Russian princess forgot it in her haste. Natural Fireworks. The New York Sun describes a remarkable occurrence at Healdsburg, Cal., when large quantities of what la called meteoric floss fell from the sky. The shower, which began, between seven and eight o’clock in the morning, and reached its maximum about ten, was seen by all the inhabitants of the town. According to an eyewitness, the floss first appeared high up. In a perfectly clear sky, as a mass of stard. lustrous metallic sheets, and silvery ropes, it reached the earth in various shapes and sizes, ranging from minute particles to sheets 20 feet square. It fell in such quantities that long ropes and masses of it hung from the telephone and telegraph wires. When the substance reached the warm earth it began at onee to contract into fibrous masses, resembling asbestos, although tests proved that it was not that mineral. Most of it soon disappeared, although samples of it were saved and sent to the Lick observatory, and to the observatory at Urbana, Italy. • Beds for Outdoor Sleeping. One of the best, beds for outdoor Bleeping is that made out of a heaping pile of balsam boughs, all laid pointing the same way and having the shiny under sides up so as to take full advantage of the spring of the boughs. When boughs enough have! been heaped up so that one actually rests several inches off the ground the heat loss in that direction is very greatly diminished. Also, the bed is a deliciously comfortable one. Dry leaves are an autumn substftute tor balsam in regions where the latter Is not to be found, but they are more difficult to collect, and it takes a larger heap to give the same effect. Where one is reduced actually to sleeping next to the ground it is always well at least to spread a canvas or slicker under one’s blankets and then use the heavy one for underneath. This may not seem especially sound advice at sundown, but Its wisdom is apt to sink in during the night.—Outing,. - 5 Looks That Way. “The submarine is to be the fighting vessel of the future. “Looks that way. Guess our future naval students will graduate in overalls and each be presented with a monkey wrench instead of a sword.” —Louisville Courier-Journal. Catty. “Pa suggested that In conducting our club paper, each should take a department with which she was most familiar.” “Thea, dear, wouldn't you like to have charge of its makq-ua ”

DID YOU GET YOURS? Our August clean-up sale on Old Hickory and Parry Buggies has been a * hummer , so far and our stock of these buggies is being rapidly depleted. Better Come In Early And Make Your Selection. This is absolutely a closing out sale in this line and we don’t want to have a buggy left in stock. Many people are also taking advantage of the 15 per cent discount on all light and heavy harness. Don’t Let This Opportunity Get Away. Schaub-Dowling Co. - - ... - .
