As a matter of sanitary precaution one should give the throat a thorough washing out with some antiseptic solution every day. This will prevent the formation of germs in the throat, will help to cure colds and. better than that, it will prevent colds and sore throats. These are only the health reasons why a thorough gargling of the throat is advisable. There is another which I think is almost equally important. If you wish to have a clear voice and a beautiful voice, you must have the throat in a strong and healthy condition. You cannot enunciate well if your throat is clogged up. The quality of the tones of your voice will never be good if the throat itself is not healthy and clear. It takes only an extra minute or so to gargle with some antiseptic solution. I would advise doing this every morning when you wash or as you bathe, since any foreign matter that collects in the throat is apt to do so overnight when you are asleep. If you wish you may use only plain water, but it would be much better to use hot salt water, which costs practically nothing and which is easy to fix. Keep a little covered box of 'table salt in the bathroom closet and add a small spoonful of this to three-quarters of a glass of hot water. Rinse out the mouth with it, since it is healthy for the gums; gargle the throat and snuff a little up the nose until you feel the nasal passages clear. This not only clears out all foreign matter, but kills any germs that may be lurking where the nose and throat passages join. NERVES. A simple exercise for relaxing Is as follows: Sit down, and hold your hand in front of you, about a foot or so above the lap. Then relax the tension which holds your hand there, 'let go" your hand, and allow it to drop limply to your lap. This may sound as if It is an easy thing to do, but few persons perform the experiment properly at the first attempt. The hand must become as limp as a rag, and drop as heavily as if had been detached from the body. You will find a natural resistance to this "letting go" on the part of the hand, which means you will have to repeat the exercise until yoa have attained it. ' After you have accomplished this exercise, vou will find that your nerves have quited and will most likely be able to have a restful sleep. This exercise is ihe key to others that can be added, such as holding out the arm. then allowing it to fall limply. Repeat this, using both arms. The foot and then the leg will bp the next pft of the bodv to train. You should lie flat on a bed to accomplish this form of the exercise. The muscles of the neck may also be relaxed by learning to drop the head both forward and backward, always accomplishing it as if it were done without any physical effort.

! Heart Problems . - Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl twenty-two years of a?e and go with a boy twenty years old. He is a very nice boy and I like him. only his age troubles me. I know he likes me and does not consider ages. Do'you think It psoper for a girl to go with a boy younger than she is? I know another nice young man, but I know I don't like him as well as the boy twenty. This young man is twentyfour. Should I discontinue to go with the boy twenty and go with the one twenty-four? FAITH. Two years difference in your ages should mean nothing. Accept both young men as friends and do not rive up one for the other unless you become engaged. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have little holes in my face. Are those enlarged pores? If so, please advise me what

to do. I also have pimplps and blackheads. Is there a way of getting rid of them? I have tried nearly everything

but. to no avail. BETTY K. The holes in your face are enlarged

pores. Vou may find the following

lotion helpful: Boric acid, one dram; distilled witch hazel, four ounces. Apply with a piece of old linen or a bit of absorbent cotton.

Since you have tried to get rid of blackheads and pimples, but to no

avail, you should consult a physician and ask him to prescribe. It is evident that your blood is in a bad condition. You should be particularly careful to keep your skin thoroughly clean. Never go to bed at night without first washing thoroughly with face soap and warm water and then applying a good cold cream. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a young lady for about a year and really thought I loved her,

but recently I have decided I do not

love her. Would it be better to call and tell her this, and possibly create a scene, or just write her a note and tell her how I feel? BILL. It seems to me it would be less embarrassing for the girl if you wrote to her.

Motorman Not Losing Any Time "I dont think anyone ever suffered more from stomach trouble and bloat ing than I have. I had to lay off my run more than half the time and could get no help from prescriptions or medicine. One of my friends advised using Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, which I found to be the greatest remedy ever put on the earth. I have not lost a day since taking it. It is worth its weight in gold." It is, a simple harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intentinal ailments, including appendicitis.

The Growing Child A series of articles prepared especially for The Palladium, by the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C

SCHOOL LUNCH SERVICE, Many children attend school break-

fastless. Some because of capricious appetite, and in other cases because food is not to be had in sufficient quantity. Futhermore, in rural districts, and in some cities, a number of children live such a distance from school as to make it necessary for them to carry lunch. Quite frequently the lunch is of insufficient quantity and of limited nutritive value. For these reasons large numbers of children during the most important period of their growth and development have but practically one meal a day throughout the school year. The education and health authorities have become alive to this neglect and are attempting to overcome it by providing for school lunches. Necessity Established. School lunches are no longer in the experimental stage. Wherever tried they have been successful, and the benefits of school feeding are generally recognized. A growing child needs more nourishment in proportion to its size than an adult and this is as tnra for the rich child as for ttbe poor. Hence, it is just as much to the advantage for the child of well-to-do parents to be provided with nourishing food at school,, since he can not go home to get it, as it is for the child i of the poor. This at once removes the ! matter of school feeding from a class or charitable affair into the realm ot child hygiene, where it properly belonge. Of course there will always be some children who cannot afford to pay for this extra food and must be fed at the expense of someone else, but this can usually be arranged. In nearly all of the newer school buildings in the cities and towns of France the kitchen is as much a regular part of the plant as the class room. There are very few schools where a lunch service cannot be established if attempted in the right way. The success of the undertaking depends largely upon the interest, enthusiasm and knowledge of the teacher. When she decides that the service should be iu augurated in her school, the question of financial support comes first to mind. The movement will undoubtedly have the moral support of the school superintendent and board of education, as the school lunch is rapidly being recognized as part of the regu lar school work; but they are not always ready to finance the purchase of equipment and other initial expenses. In the large cities, committees of public spirited citizens sometimes do this, or Parent-Teacher associations, Worn en's clubs, or similar organizations give financial support. In some large school systems the work is directed by a trained dietitian, with capable, paid assistants. Teacher Must Help. The smaller schools, however, and the one-room rural schools, where the

need Is particularly great because so few children can go home for a hot dinner, should be able to accomplish much, provided the' teacher has en

thusiasm and perseverance. Many of these schools have Parent-Teacher as.

sociatlons or School Improvement as

sociations, and some counties have a home demonstrator or county nurse,

or both. If there is no community organization to supply the small equip

ment needed, the individual parents and pupils must be educated to slhe point of being determined to carry the plan through. The teacher can easily enthuse the pupils, and leaflets, on health and nutrition prepared by the state board of health should be sent to parents. The

county nurse should visit the homes where there are undernourished children, and emphasize the value of the school lunch. The medical inspector, or county health officer should endeavor to se,-

cure the interest of the local Ladies' Aid society, or other church organiza tion, and the influence of the minister Bhould always be sought. If the child ren wish to have some part in the purchase of equipment, they might join with the teacher in holding a "fair" or "social" so popular in country districts. If only enough money is secured to buy the necessary cooking utensils, soap, oil stove (if necessary), dish towels, and other materials, each child can bring from home his own table utensils, to be left at school during the term. Only such staple foods as soups, rice, hominy, vegetables, cocoa, milk, tapioca with fruit, and the like, should be attempted unless special time can be given to the work of preparation. In this connection, the domestic science instructor or the home demonstrator will be invaluable in instructing the pupils in the value of certain foods and their preparation. Plan Carefully. To be a success everything must bo planned ahead. Assignments of pupils to certain duties should be made a week ahead, and the privilege of having a share in the preparation or serv

! ing of the lunch will be eagerly cov

eted. ISo better opportunity could be found for teaching habits of neatness, cleanliness, courtesy, good manners, thorough mastication, and care of the teeth, and food values. The danger of flies are easy to teach in this connection. The Importance of washing the hands before preparing, serving or eating food, can be emphasized, and a tooth brush drill might be giveii after eating. The children should be required to pay for their lunches when they can afford to, and those who do not pay should not be known to the others. The staple supplies like sugar and cocoa might be purchased with a fund made up by a few pennies brought by each child. The fresh foods, like vegetables, milk, meat and fruit, might be supplied by the various families in turn, each family being notified a week ahead of its turn to furnish the supplies. An accurate account should be kept of all supplies furnished and bought so that each family may bear its share in proportion to tho number of its children in school. This keeping of accounts will furnish good material for teaching arithmetic to the chilaren. The gain in weight of undernourished children, the training In refined social habits, hygienic living, co-operation, and community spirit probably will well repay all efforts expended.

Ladies! Darken Your Gray Hair

Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur .Recipe and Nobody Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggfs"t says.it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair all disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Advertisement.

COLUMBUS In order to get even with his wife from whom he had been separated, Charles Hatter, of Basil, set fire to her brother's home, according to his confession. Hatter bored a hole into the house while tho occupants were asleep, poured in a quart of gasoline and set fire. It is said that he was so frightened at the explosion and roar that followed ignition that he left his auger at the house. This helped to fasten the guilt upon him. No one in the house was injured.

EAST LIVERPOOL The Rev. Aaron S. Watkins, of Cincinnati, prohibition nominee for president, said in an address here, that "the great, question of the 1920 campaign is extinction of the liquor traffic." He said of the League of Nations, "There has been a fog in the discussion. We favor a form of federation among na tions; the change in conditions of the world demands this."

' .. Chapter II. Esther, it seems to me now, as I look back over our life together, had a positively uncanny habit of saying the nastiest thing a the time when it would be felt most. She never meant it, of course in fact, I've found out, cynically, that the world is full of people who do hurtful things and never mean anything but good. It was, as Jim used to say, "Esther's manner" Now, to go back for a moment, so you can have the picture of our family as it was on the day when my Gieat Awakening began Esther was my sister-in-law, and my very best friend as well. - We had been brought up together our families lived in adjoining places and we had been inseparable. We had been almost like sisters; in fact, we got along rather better than sisters. So, when Esther married my only brother Jim, I was delighted. I was going to have her for a real relation, instead of a "play" one. . Esther was 18 when she. married Jim, and Jim was 24. Our uncle died some time afterwards and left him his farm, which was on the very edge ot one of the tiniest villages in Connecticut, a little bit of a place known as Henley Falls. I was lonely enough after my very dear brother and my very best friend moved away, especially as 1 had few other friends to console myself with. I did not like many of the people around me. They thought I was "queer." But Henley Falls was not.far away from our old home and I often drove over to see Esther and Jim. Indeed, 1 knew as many people in that place as in the place where my own, parents lived. Then, when mother and father died, Jim closed up the old home, and I very naturally, went to live with him and with Esther, Esther had three children. Laura was the first; she came not quite a year .after they were married, and she was bne of the chubbiest babies I ever saw. She was the prettiest, too. She took all the beautiful baby prizes at the fairs and once was- given a medal of some sort by, a magazine that offered prizes for pictures of the best looking baby in the state. Then came Jim, two years later, and then Vi, a little more than a year after that. Jim, or James, as we called him for his dad always came running when Esther was calling the baby was not a pretty baby, though he did have lovely eyes. And Violet was not thought pretty at all. But I used to think and I know now that like many homely children. Violet was bound to be the best looking of them all in the end. Esther didn't think so when she was a baby, but I did; and

for that reason, they always called Vi my child. Now that is, at the time of my Great Awakening Esther was about 40, the most tragic age for a woman. She had been married 22 years. Laura was 21. James was 19 and a nice quiet lad, and Violet was not yet 18. And I, as Esther reminded me so cruelly that

afternoon, I was 35 and an old maid. The remembered birthday seemeo -to make Esther reminiscent. "You was only 13 when I was married," she said, her mind on the subject of ages. "Lord, we used to play together almost as though we was one age. You seemed nearly as old as me." That, too, was a cut, . but I did not think of ft at the time. "I alway was mature," I agreed, t "I remember you didn't do up your hair until you were 17. I bad mine up when you were married mother let me do it first for the wedding." Indeed, I had grown up early; at least, the responsibilities of life had been thrust on me fairly early. There had been several children between Jim and myself, but they had died and my mother had not been very strong.

So, when the days came when Esther ceased to care for children's romping games, I was being initiated into grown-up responsibilities and had little time for such games either. So Esther at 17 and I at 12 visited steadily together when our various household tasks were done. "But at 16 I used to go chasing around as hard as any youngster." Esther answered when I reminded her of the old days. "Lord, I hadn't so much flesh then. But I never was a slim one." She glanced down at herself, rather complacently. I thought, as many stout women do. Esther was fat but of course, that idea didn't occur to me then. "Laura takes after me," she said, speaking of the older girl, who was out that afternoon. "James, I don't know who he takes after. He's all for dreaming and sittin' around doin' nothing' at all. There's none of that in my family, and not much in Jim's, as I can see. Vi, now, she has more animation than James, and she's quick as can be, but

. she doesn't stick at anything: ..Just 1 hops around like a bird on a tree.rl

think she's more Haines than Laura, or James." s . , . . She went on back to her ironing and I gathered up the curtains I had bees, mending and carried them to the bedrooms upstairs. On the way I stopped in my room and stood before my mirror. , Self-revelation begins with a looking glass. . . Tomorrow The Haines Family,; '
