Mere overuse of the voice can cause harmful irritation of the or, gan which produ< es it. leading to unwelcome change* in the voice it self Infections or overindulgence in alcohol also damage this delicate little instrument, thus bring Ing about hoarseness or giving a rasping quality to the voice. Stage fright, as is well known, often causes complete though temporary loss of the voice. Acute inflammation of the larynx always calls for complete rest of the throat. If a speaking or singing engagement Is impend ing it should be canceled while the performer stays at home to treat his throat by cold compress e* on the neck and the breathing tn of steam In leas severe cases of Inflammation of the larynx, it is suggested that some alkaline spray be used bi the nose and that a few drops of ephedrine be applied to the voice-box by means of a syringe An actor or a singer occasionally may lose his voice on the day of oa important appearance because at fjtip* troatsient in such cases Should tectede root is Wd.

A person doesn't mind working for money, but winning 17.300 in a Jack pot radio quiz show is some- . thing different Flooded with telephone and well wishers who want ed to get their hands on the windfall, the young couple who won the prize got so disgusted they were first inclined to decline acceptance of the prize Even if the story isn't true, it made good reading The silliest pronouncement comes from Dewey's campaign manager. Herbert Brownell. Jr. that the spec ial session of congress can't enact the laws requested by President Truman, because they are promises to be carried out under a itepublican president. That philosphy paral lels the sales technique of the merchant who wouldn't sell his firec rac ks on the third, because his supply would be exhausted on July Fourth. o— -o - A local citizen remarked. "Why do I need a car. A person can't cross Monroe street anyway." Traffic on the- above- street, which is a state route for highway 33. is incessant. It carries the bulk of local traffic between east and west points, tor it is the only through street in those directions It is very difficult to make north and south crossings over Monroe street, because of the traffic and also because cars are parked too near the crossings Our streets are burdened with an unusual flow of travel and it appears that the situation calls for some ex pert advice.

Steam was rising from the earth nftw and a great black crow flung itself awkwardly upward in the distance and flapped its way aloft. John's eyes saw that, and the misty land, the glistening ponds, the dark, rich woods and

the blue aky brooding above it all, and he went on. "I count my dividends partially among the intangibles. My freedom. for instance, la invaluable to me. I’m my own boss. 1 belong to no union. No man can tell me u*hat to do or not to do. Then there's the feeling of security that I've already spoken at." He swept out an arm. “I have everything here. Everything!

I love each season so much that I think each one is the best And there’s also the thing you spoke of when you first saw Stone House. The sense of permanence. What I create here, what I plant and nurse and cherish, will live for generations. Perhaps”—he paused—"perhaps it's the only immortality God intends for man. I don’t know." “Yes," she said again. But he seemed to have forgotten her. He seemed to be talking to himself now. ••Finally—and this is probably the most important thing—here we have away of life that Is simple and wholesome and—kind. None of us, I mean, has to step on the neck of anyone else to get ahead. We're not in competition. We're In harmony. All of us working for the good of all, without envy and without strife. The goal isn't money. It's just—good living. And that's Christian.” He checked himself and looked down at her. “1 didn’t mean to preach a sermon,” he said. "What you really wanted to know waa whether this la paying me financially." "I wanted the whole picture. Just aa you're giving it to me,’’ she told him quickly. He looked away again. "This Is the rest, then. It isn't paying me yet I had to borrow from the I bank to get started. The war held me up, too. It was impossible to I get ahead as fast aa I planned.

But I'm breaking even. I’ve found ■ other sources of income that I 1 hadn't expected to And—lecturing i —writing, and in another year or I so I should see profits." His eyes came back to her. “When I do, ' the men in my employ will share < in the profits, each according to i his worth." he finished quietly. There it was.
