McGOVERN N HER knees in the kitchen to glare effectively, but the sight of two muddy shoes tracking up her spanking clean porch let flow a warm string of expletives color- fully flavored with strong Irish progue. "And how many times must I tell ye, Terry O'Donnell, not to on a Friday?" » The tall, blue-eyed lad grinned a | wry apology and said, "I want to see Kathleen." "And why should she want to see the likes o' ye after the way ye angered her last night?"' "T want to tell her I'm sorry." '"'And are ye not enough of a true Irishman to fear doin' sich a thing on a Friday?" "Any day's good enough for what I want to do,' Terry declared. Bridget looked at him a moment, then jerked her thumb in the direc- tion of the parlor where her niece was dusting furniture. But she wasn't surprised when Terry came storming back. "She won't even talk to me! Well, for all I care she can go out with every Tom, Dick and Harry in town while I'm gone!"' "Gone?"' repeated Bridget. "To Camp Hobart next week." '"'Should ye be changin' yer mind," Bridget yelled after him, "have the dacency to keep out o' me rose bushes and walk up the steps like a human bein'!"' But her anger was gone by the time she finished clean- ing up. She thought of how Kathleen '"'Where is she?" had looked the night before, her chin high, her cheeks flaming, red as her hair. Bridget shook her head. 'Tis pride made her look like that, she thought, the kind that takes a long time to simmer out, then often it's too late. The same as me Patrick and me, and both stubborner than any two humans had any Tight to be. Aye, but that was twenty-five years ago, and good Lord gave me a niece to rear, and if I can hilp it she won't be like me! She climbed the stairs to Bridget was in a poor position. come climbin' over my porch rail ye'd think I'd be forgittin'. The up. "He insinuated that I'd likely be. the kind to run around and have fun should the person I happened to be engaged to go to war." "And did he tell ye he was leavin'. for camp in a week?" The color faded from Kathleen's cheeks. "Oh, no!" "Sure, and the Lord made some men fools," breathed Bridget. "Ye'd better call him up. He should be at Mrs. Schultz's."' But Terry had been there and gone. "And in such a temper!" Mrs. ' Schultz declared. Kathleen tried the bakery, but Terry hadn't come in yet. "Pride is no _ good," Bridget fretted. "Call his mother.' *'No! I won't grovel. If he doesn't want to telephone he doesn't have to!' Kathleen stamped up the stairs. After three days of watching Kathleen grew paler. and paler, Bridget knew she had to take a hand. She went to the bakery, only to learn that Terry was already in camp. . She trudged wearily home, and laboriously wrote a letter. She told Terry about two other foolish people who had been too proud, and what happened to them. "I heard you once tell my Kathleen that her eyes were the loveliest in the world," she wrote. 'I'm beggin' you, write and tell her you love her before she cries them out of her pretty head."' Then she sat back to await re sults. But Friday's hours crept along, and there was no letter from Terry. Sadly she went through the motions of scrubbing the back porch, dumped the suds over the railing and, was starting on the kitchen floor when a pair of muddy shoes landed squarely in the door- way. "I came as soon as I could," Terry said. "Where is she?" Bridget jerked her thumb. "In. there."" Then she sat back on her heels and listened brazenly to Kath- leen's shriek of joy. ' Bridget sniffed, lugged her bucket outside and got-down on her knees, Tears were in her eyes. "Bless the lad. It isn't a scoldin' he'll be needin' now," she declared fervent- ly. "It's prayin'." And, being: already in the proper position, she proceeded accordingly. | Sea Water Palatable The navy has invented a practical. method to be used on rafts and life- boats for producing drinkable water. from the salt ocean.

Smith, Ph.B., M.S. Nutritionist - How Shall We Begin? It is quite customary for the popu- lation of the world, at the present time, to put much time and thought on the exterior decoration of the body. Manufacturers and designers are busily engaged in mines, mills and factories, turning out materials for shoes, clothes, hats, jewellery, pow- ders, perfumes and pastes, in order to make the inhabitants of the globe feel that the most of them are attractive in appearance to those that they meet in everyday life. Notwithstanding the millions of money spent on human exterior adornment, the total effort affords little satisfaction to thousands of people every day, if their bodies are racked with pain or they are the vic- tims of chronic ill-health. Devote a Reasonable Percentage of Thought, Time and Money Expendi- tures on Personal Health. When mature people suddenly be- come conscious of the importance of normal health, one of the first things to do is to question oneself concern- ing the individual habits of normal life, so considered. We should take -stock frequently. Take a look at our- selves in a mirror, when we are in a standing position. Note the body posture. Have we a healthy mouth and sound teeth? Do we allow our- selves enough time to rest? Can we relax? 'Do we sleep well? Do our feet hurt when standing for a short time or walking a short distance? Are we visited frequently with the Com- mon Cold, and how does it affect us? By answering these and many other simple questions we can soon tell how our score card is going to check up. What percentage grade of normal health would we mark ourselves? We Need Medical Guidance in The Maintenance of Health. ' It is very true that we need medical guidance in the maintenance of HEALTH. However, we do not go to a specialist every time we buy a hat or suit, a new powder or a bottle of vitalis.

The body upkeep and _ care should be taught from birth. First by involuntary impulses coursing over the nerve lines of the new-born, and second, when the same impulses find their way over the same nerve lines repeatedly a basis is being established for habit formation. Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves are triumph and defeat. Those Old Shoes May last a long time after we have repaired them.

In Albania most women drink quan- tities of plain carbonated water every day, in the belief that it aids their complexions. The ancient Babylonian physicians believed that practically all ailments would be cured with orange drinks... No matter what the illness was, they invariably prescribed orange bever- ages. sd Carbonated soft drinks were so rare and precious in California during the days of the Gold Rush, that a pint beverage sold for $25.00, payable in gold dust. In ancient Rome, during a scarcity of metal money, glass bottles were employed as actual money. a CHINA HALL =~ Make Your Silverware Look Like New We have a limited stock from England of Goddard's Silver Polish sizes....
