MohI of us are familiar with the atory of the old book-keeper In one of the financial 'Institutions in Hoi land, or nelgliim, It matters not Just where, who through long years had carried along the footing, "once one Is two". Of course the inevitable ' discovery of a shortage was found, and the old man was thrown in prison until it was found that the shortage did ''not exist in rcnjily, but was only an apparent one re sulting from thd constant reiteration of the error of saying "once one is two". While absolutely honest, ho liad fallen Into a rut from which he could not extricate himself, and it finally brought -him to unnecessary disgrace. It Is ilosslble that there are ruts In the transaction of cer tain duties in Rome of the county of ' flcos, which through long usago bavo become custom, at lonfit this would appear to bo the cuse as shown by the report of the accounting committee which has been chocking ovor the books at the court house, tuid while thore Is not the slightest suspicion cunt upon the Integrity of the officials whose records arc criti cized, the Inference Is made plain that tho proper system lmn' been lacking and there wus evidence that long usage had created a rut. There is Utile quoRtlon but Bonie .method and system will be limlalM whero by the book's can bo moro 'caBily audited and checked, and the prop er balances readily found.

Again t"e menace of a break with Garmany casts Its baleful shadow over this turn), If reports omenatlng from tho national capital are not misleading. It may bo possible dip lomatic relations will suddenly cooho and our ambassador called home on Indefinite leave. There Is something uncanny nbnut the con stant revival of this ominous threat, and the suspicion Is almost raised that tho administration uses It when ever any particular legislation needs tiolatcrlng up.

He udvlscB me to leave school. But as I expect to gradu ate In June I cannot give it up. Home time ngo I was told to try aspirin, which I did, and it soon ro llevcd me.

I frequently feol as though I would faint, and things turn black about' me. 1 never hnd this before tak ing the aspirin. Please advise. me If aspirin is a habit-forming drug and if it .veakens my heart, thus causing thCHe strange spells." Evidently this young woman's ed ucation Is faulty. Somehow sho has learned to place "graduation" above the mo:t precious accom plishment a woman con have good health. Evidently her instructors are giving her a wrong start In llfo, when they allow her and her clnssmntcs to feel that "gradua tion" is so Important as this. Of course, a high school girl is just a high school girl. Often one sided, from carrying too many books under one arm and too many data in her left third frontal con volution.

She went in for walking Instead of riding to every point, and she tried these ex ercises for her chin: After her hot bath, or after she had washed her face with hot water, and while the skin waa still moist from the beat and the washing, she pinched her chin' all over this helped to break up and separate the fat particles, which were absorbed and carried away by the blood. She massaged her chin and neck vigorous ly, only taking care to avoid bruising -the skin. Then, she laid flat on the floor, with a Bmall carpet-covered hassock price 23 cents under her neck and shoulders, so her head waa stretched back to touch the floor. This, you see, drew tight the flabby skin and. muscles that had grown under the chin. Then she rolled her head from Bide to side, stretching as much as Bhe could sixteen to twenty times. That was all. Sometime, soon, I shall publish another picture of this same girl, taken after she had re duced her chin to the proportions it ought to be. Any other woman can do the same If she has a tendency to grow more than one chin. Questions and Answers Would you kirtiJljf tell me tomethtnf that I could do lo reduce my bunts T A. B.

Further, they break down the red blood cor puscles and ultimately ruin tho nervous system. We see quite a number of victims of the coaltar drug habits eventually becomo nervous wrecks and sometimes they reach the Insane hospitals. The young woman "was told" to "try" the drug. Who told her?

"Rivers and forests and meadows and hills those are what the earth is made of," the big, plled-up clouds bad always said. " . ' But not a one of all these wonders had the little fairies ever seen for themselves. For, ar you can easily guess, they were far too Uttle to seo much of the earth when they lived ao far, far away high, high up In the tig, big sky! Many a time had the fairies beged their mother cloud to take them down to the earth, but always she had replied, "Not yet! Not yet!" So they had had to be content with hear-, lng about, Instead of seeing, these wonders of earth. So you can quite imagine how happy these Bame fairies were when their mother cloud announced one morning that she was going to take them down to earth that very night. "When the sun has gone to bed,' she whispered softly, "you must hold ' tight. And I will drop lower and lower and lower till we are almost to the earth. Then, when the morn ing breaks, you may look and seo , all that you have heard of." So, when the sun had set, all tho little. .mist fairies clung tight and the mother cloud slipped lower and lower and lower toward the earth. Till the listening fairies could hear the whispers of the trees though they could not see a thing, and feel the warmth of growing things though darkness deep covered every thing! "Now," she whispered softly, we are as close as we dare go. Hold tljiht! And In the morning you may see the earth." So all the little mist fairies held tight to the cloud and waited till the 1 morula u Implements!

"But If the clouds go away, we go ! too," sighed the disappointed fairies. "You needn't," said the sun. "You mny qllng to the trees; then thoj clouds can go away and let me shine."
