leng to be remembered. Charades
ware enjoyed by groups, each one im
personating in a clever manner some
"kid prank". After this diversion it
in safe to say that everyone felt ac
qaainted and heartily entered into
tfae spirit of a jolly good time wheth
er it was the different figures of the
Id fantastic Virginia reel, indulging
m the daintiest of refreshments, or
Names which were played after the
taaoheon hour. Somehow the ladies
sve always felt that they had the
kent wishes of the gentlemen in their
ewdeavors and were not disappointed
ia this event, and whenever a like af
fair will be given, we are sure that
m one will decline the invitation if
sssh can be possibly avoided.

Be careful about signing petitions,
says the ('alia way Queen. A great
many people have a habit of signing
a petition whenever asked to, with
out taking pains to find out what It
is for. This Is it risky practice, for
If you slim a petition for more Ibaa
one candidate for the same office, un
der the laws of NebrasKa, you are
gulltv of a misdemeanor, and If con
victed may be punished to the extent
of a six months term In the county
jail. The conviction would be sim
ple enough, te, if one's namo ap
peared too many times. So when
someone asks yon to sign a petition,
make sure that it is the only one of
that particular kind that you do sign,
or you may find yourself in trouble.
The following Ik an extract from
tho state law:
"Any person who shall sign more
nomination petitions than there are
positions to fill In any kind of of
fices shall be guilty of a misdemean
or, and upon conviction thereof be
punished by imprisonment In the
county Jail not lr than one nor
more than six months."

from illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every

would take place.

"nerve wrecks," "rundowns," "brain
fags" and pessimist wo should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath Is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoooful of Umeatone phosphate In it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre
vious day's Indigestible waste, sour
fermentations and poisons, thus
cleansing, sweetening and freshening
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food Into the stomach.
Those subject to sick headache, bil
iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism,
colds; and partlculary those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are
urped to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but a trine but is
sufficient to demonstrate the quick
and remarkable change In both health
and appearance awaiting those who
practice internal sanitation. We roust
remember that Inside cleanliness Is
more Important than outside, be
