This Is a most pratefu!, penetrating, ex

makes pliant the abdominal muscles and

Bausea, discomfort, slrcplcssness and dread i

The occasion is therefore oae of un

Aunt Este's Stories For Children
Sly dear little ones:
Are you still in love with the winter and its ice and snow and
sleet? Or are you eagerly waiting for the birds to come and the
flowers? Well, Spring will soon be here and King Winter will
go—so I am going to tell you your last WINTER STORY.
Next week I wish you would all write a pretty postcard to
me—tolling me of a bird you love and would like to hear some
story about. Address it as usual—AUNT ESTE, care of the Tele

HOW THE RAINDROPS WENT TO A MASQUERADE DANCE
Once upon a time in Sky land there was a loud rap on Mother
Cloud's front door Before she had half a chance to get to it
about a thousand of her her raindrop children had raced from
the nursery and were standing on tip-toe at the windows—while
some of the larger ones were trying their best to unlatch the
door.
Poor Mother Cloud! She had tried so hard to teach her chil
dren that it was not polite to rush to the door in that manner
—but It seemed the children forgot—not because they would
have been naughty for worlds—but just because —well, Just
because they were children!
So when Mother Cloud reached the door, she had to push
back children on every side. And when she finally did get it open
—;who do you suppose it was? Why nobody but old Bluster
Wind acting as postman. As soon as the door was open Into the
room floated a big white envelope, and Bluster Wind was gone to
the next cloud house.
Well such a time as Mother Cloud had to get open that en
velope. There were babies to the right or her, babies to the left
of her, babies in front of her, hollering and shouting. But at last
she had it open and held in her hand a wonderful invitation which
read like this:
"Mr. and Mr«, Hurricane Invite al» your children to be preaent
at n large mask ball, to be held Friday evening, In the north room
of old Mother Enrth'a Winter Home. Kindly have each come In
coat u m e."
Well after Mother Cloud had finished reading the invitation
She couldn't hear herself think. Really she couldn't. Such scream
ing and laughing and clapping of hands you never heard —-and I
don t believe you ever will hear—for It is not given to little boys
and girls who live on earth to ever see such large families of
children as Mother Cloud had In that house of hers. Everyone was
happy but Mother Cloud herself.
"Dear me!" she sighed. "It's all very well for you children
to be happy and clapping your hands. Now ir it were an ordin
ary party I'd be happy with you. But a Masked Ball! Dear me.
where will I ever get different clothes for all of you?" For as
she looked around every one of those happy smiling faces of the
little rain children looked alike—everyone of tliem had on Identical
ly the same style of rompers—the only difference was that some
were larger than others.
The up spoke one of the bigger raindrops: "Mother dear,
open the door just a wee craolc. so that the rest can't get out—and
let me go scouring around the sky until I find :i cheap dressmaker.
You simply can't he bothered making nil our .lollies for that
«ianc«."

WILL, INSTALL LIGHT SYSTEM
By Special Correspondence
Knricrn, Pay March 7. C. A. Miller
attended a Threshermen's Association
meeting, at Harrlsburg, on Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Warfel, of Millers
burg. were visitors in town on Sunday.
—On account of the drifted roads and
intense cold weather our schools re
mained closed on Monday and Tuesday.
—Mr. and Mrs. Ira M. Holt entertained

Mr. and Mis. Ira P. Snyder were visitors

Deitrlch is slowly recovering from a
long siege of illness. H. C. Kltzmll
ler will install an Improved light sys
tem In the shirt factory. Miss Mary
f~ Harper is undergoing an operation
In the Harrlsburg Hospital.
So Mother Cloud opened the door the wee-est speck, and out
scampered the THE BIG RAINDROP. Through the air he scurried
until he reached a great shop known as THE AIK
SHOP. Here he stopped for a moment.
"Can you tell me whether you make dresses for masquerade
balls?" he asked. . _
"Oh, yes, Indeed," answered the. shop keeper, Air Current.
"We make all styles and shapes. What do you wish?'
"Well," said the Big Raindrlp, "my many thousands of sisters
and brothers and myself are invited to a large ball to be given on
Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Hurricane, and .mother Is entirely
too busy to bother with us. Could you make that many gowns In
so short u time."
Shopkeeper Air Current only laughed.
"We make millions In a moment," said he. "Bring your sis
ters and brothers just as they are on the evening of the party, and
tell your mother not to worry—for this Is a fairy shop—and as
they pass through it, there will fall on each shoulder a wonderful
ball gown—and not one will be alike."
So Big Raindrop went home and told his mother. 'I have
heard of those Air Current and Atmosphere Shops," said she. "They
really make beautiful gowns."
And so It was that early J'rlday evening Mother Cloud opened
her door —and out skipped thousands of rain children In plain
rain rompers. So It happened they went through the shops of the
air currents. So it happened that on each Bhoulder dropped a
beautiful coat. Some were dressed like stars and some like cres
cents and some like moons Some looked round and some looked
square and some looked oblong and some looked criss-cross. And
each and every one looked a little different from the other.
My but they were happy when they reached the ball room, the
north room of Mother Earth's Winter Home. My but they were
happy as thoy danced and played to the music of Uncle Wind and
his orchestra of Breezes. My but they were happy as they met
millions of other raindrops, all dressed In fancy costume, like
themselves. And when they compared notes they found that one
and all had visited some Air current or Atmosphere Shop. There
were even some there dressed In coats of Ice so that they looked
like stones. There were others who were dressed in sleet armor.
But every one agreed that the little rain children In their beauti
ful white coats of all descriptions were the prettiest.
In the morning they all lay white and still on the floor of
Mother Earth's North Room—tired out with dancing and playing.
And nothing was left to show the earth children there had been a
ball, except a little of the scenery which Jack Frost left on the
window pane, and the last dying fiddles of Uncle Wind's orchestra.
The earth children could not even see the beautiful dresses
of the rain children. True, they saw they were white and spark
ling, but there were so man of them huddled together that only
with a mlcrosope could they Bee the wonderful styles of their
clothes.
It will pay any one of you, dear little ones, to take a micro
scope some day after there has been a great ball given by the
Hurricanes or Blizzards, and examine the dresses of the llttlf
rain children. I am sure you would wonder more than ever at
the beantv of the snow clothes.

DANDRUFF llf
DESTROYS THE HAIR
Makes It Dull, Brittle, Lifeless,
and Causes It To Fall Out.
Girls —If you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for It will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff Is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, ami
your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous,
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid ar
von at any drug store. It is inexpen
sive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
fails.—Advertisement.
Stiff Neck
or any other stiffness or lame
ness of strained and aching
muscles, should have prompt
relief. Nothing like
SLOAN'S
LINIMENT
to remove the soreness! Try it
for backache—in fact, most
any kind of piin.
Mr. A. Moore, Manchester, N. H.,
writes: I suffered with an awful stiff
new In my legs. I tried two or three
liniments—no ucc. Finally I tried
Sloan's, and after two mornings could
run to my work."
