Closing Party of the Season.
The Winfer Dancing club tinds the
stars multiplying every day upon its
imaginary service flag. A large
number of the members are in the
service of Uncle Sam and to find part
ners for all the girls at the different
dances was becoming a problem. But
a unique plan lias bctn discovered for
the big formal party which will be
given March 2.
Every member of the club is to in
vite a couple. Most of the invited
guests will be from the forts and
this will transform the party into a
li'.ular military hop. And the girls,
will they be happy? We rather
think so.
This dance will be in the form of
an auld lange syne party. This group
of young chaps and girls have been
friends for several years. The warm
summer evenings have found them
one-stepping at the Happy Hollow
club, while the winter time has
claimed tnem at riarte Hall.
They will probably regretfully)
lance Home, Sweet Home on the
night of the last party of the season,
for these have been such enjoyable
affairs and there ate so many of the
men gone. But we mustn't lapse into
a sob story and we feel sure that the
girls will wear their frilliest frocks
and their most enchanting smiles at
the grand windup of the Winter
Dancing club.

The Origin of the
Mermaid Myth
The student of orgins in trying to
go back to the very earliest type of
this idea finds that the ancient Baby
lonians had their fish-god who in
formed Noah that the tlood was
about to come on tht earth) and that
the Philistines, who gave the name
Palestine to the Holy Land, had a
deity, Dagon, the Fisii-On, who was
pictured on the monuments as half
fish, half man. Berosus reports the
fable that this g;od was he who taught
men to "build cities, to found temples,
to compile laws by which men should
live." Thns the earliest form- and
that almost universally, was of the
man-fish, not the woman, as we most
often think of it.
It is in the hands of the Semites
that the mermaidn first appears, the
moon-goddess being feminine. Ac
cording to the myth she fled from
Typhon, one of the gods, and plugged
into the sea, where she was trans
formed into a fish.
The Syrian goddess of moisture,
Tirgate, was represented as a mer
maiden. It was but a step from pagen
mythologies, with the fish symboliz
ing the protector and teacher of man
kind, to the fish as a Christian symbol
in the Catacombs of Rome. It was
supposed that the Greek word ixthns,
meaning fish, stood for I-esus, X-
raitns, TH-eou. U-ios, S-oter (Jesus
Christ Son of God, Saviour.) As
reminiscent of this catacomb fish the
figure of the fish, often combined
with a woman, possibly in combina
tion of the idea of the Virgin and
Jesus, afpears on many European
cathedrals in the form of a mermaid.
But very soon the mermaid passed
from religion to heraldy and art
decoration generally. In heraldy the
mermaid is usually drawn, as the tail
of a fish joined to the head, arms and
body of a fair maiden, with long flow
ing hair, and having in one hand a
comb and in the other a mirror.
Something New in Town From
"The Land oi the Long Leaf Pine"
A Remarkable Treatment From North Carolina
That Relieves Croup and Cold Troubles With
out the Necessity of Internal "Dosing"-Applied
Externally. It is Inhaled as a Vapor and also
Absorbed Through the Skin.
Local Druggists Are Selling 25c
Jars on 30 Days Trial No
Charge if Not Delighted with
the Results.
Every year thousands of people,
Buffering from various forms of lung
trouble, make a pilgrimage to the pine
Darrens or wonn uaroiina, tub mnu
of the long leaf pine." The reason
lies In the warm, dry air, perfumed
with the Bplcy odor of the pines.
Local druggists, however, nave re
cently received a treatment that Is
almost as good as a trip South. This
Ms Vick's VapoRub, the Invention of a
North Carolina druggist
VapoRub comes in salve f&rm and
when applied over the throat and
chest, the body heat releases medi
cated vapors that are inhaled with
each breath, through the air passages,
to the lungs, loosening the phlegm
and soothing the inflamed membrane.
In cases of severe chest colds,
bronchitis, tonsllltls or incipient pneu
monia, first apply hot, wet towels to
open the pores. VapoRub is then ab
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin, taking out that tightness and
soreness in the chest.
One rubbing with VapoRub usually
relieves croup within 15 minutes and
an application at bedtime prevents a
night attack. For head colds, hay
fever, catarrh or asthmatic troubles,
VapoRub can either be applied up the
nostrils or a little melted in a spoon
and the vapors Inhaled.
The progressive druggists here are
anxious that their customers should
try this new treatment, and are, there
fore, offering VapoRub on SO days'
trial '

Military Life Not All Craps and Dinners
"I want a detail of four men for a
crap game," said Lieutenant McXally
to Captain 'Still, the officer higher up.
"The photographer is here and lia?
asked for a picture ot' the boys shoot
ing craps."
The four men were told in harsh
military words to come forward and
shoot craps. Fearing that they were
not equipped with the necessary dice,
the young lieutenant, according to
the rules and regulations, requested.-"'
that the officer higher up have the
men searched for dice.
"Any man here got dice?" roared
the captain.
Every man acknowledged the corn
instantly, for every man at Fort Crook
indulges in that (evidently) fascinat
ing game of throwing dice.

which will be presented at tlje Audi

rules and regulations necessary for
the good of the American army and
the physical life of our boys.

Of Interest to Women
Women insurance agents of Dallas,
Tex., have formed an association.
Many New England schoolnia'ams
have left their class rooms to do war
work in the factories.
Southern Illinois is soon to have a

English Women t Are Greatly
Asssisti?ig Disabled Soldiers
Few people know about the work
that women are doing .in England in
assistiug men who have lost the use
of any of their limbs to regain some
power of that member.
A soldier whose right elbow had
been sh6t away, leaving his arm per
fectly useless, was brought to a hos
pital at Chelsea, to have a splint
fitted, in the hope of affording him
some little use of his arm. Deftly
the woman in charge fitted on a neat
splint with a steel, artificial elbow,

while the soldier looked on patiently
but hopelessly.
"See what you can do now with
your arm," the splintmaker said.
Slowly at first he began to raise the
arm, and then, crimson in the face
with excitement over the unexpected
triumph, he drew himself up and
came to the salute.
This is only one of the scores of
successes which have been achieved.
In improvised buildings a handful of
women voluntary workers have
turned out in the past year 1,500,000
separate articles, all supplied free.
The evidence, from the letters of
the patients themselves, of the as
tounding help being given to men
who previously had been both help
less and hopeless makes most cheery
reading. Take the officer who after
18 months in a bath chair with a use
less foot was fitted with a steel re
inforced leather boot made by one
of the amateur women bootmakers.
After six weeks' wear he returned to
ask if his boot cannot be made water
proof, as he is off for a fishing trip
in Devon.

cook until the chicken is tender.

EVERY time you fry potatoes, fish or
any other food in Mazola instead of
butter, you save fats,
And you improve the cooking in flavor
and digestibility.
Cooking with Mazola holds the flavor of -the food it
self never flavors food with the smoke of burning fat
You can use it much hotter than butter and lard
and so make fried things digestible.
For economy use it over and over again. It never
carries taste or odor from one food to another.
Why should you melt solid fats to make an oil for
shortening when Mazola is already an oil and makes
such delicious pastries?
Mazola makes a perfect salad dressing, equal in
quality to one made with the
best olive oil, superior to one
made with ordinary olive oil.
It is easier to mix than an
olive oil dressing.
For sale in pints, quarts,
half gallons and gallons. For
greater economy buy the
large sizes.
There is a valuable Cook
Book for Mazola users. It
shows you how to fry, saute,
make dressings and sauces
more delicious, make light
digestible pastry. Should be
in every home. Send for it
or ask your grocer. FREE.
