(3) At home where the family picks at nie during the oruepl, it takes 12 minutes, ;.t the office where the /stenographer puts her feet on my desk and the telephone rings ?very .1 minutes and customers "break" in every now and then, it takes 14 minutes.

My age is between Id and- 143, and I do not like the present style of skirts?as they are still entity too long to suit me. Are you married ? If not, drop me a line again. Yours devotedly, Gee McGee.

Check incubator and make sure 1 everything is in working order. Have brooder stove regulated and j in operation one or two days before j placing chicks in the house.

Three persons, including two women, lost their lives at Carbondale, Pa.v Tuesday as the result of an explosion -and fire. s> ~ Blearing In Disguise Evcu a three weeks' quarantine nay prove a blessing in disguise The ollowing letter received by the iealth Department of an Eastern ity will prove this statement: "I wish to thank the city authoriies for quarantining my family and ne recently for thice weeks because >ne of them had smallpox.
