never should be ridiculed even though he has a flair for trying his hand at building a machine with perpetual motion - and, "be- lieve it or not." inventiveness has led many a person actually to at- tempt what most inventors claim is impossible.

Among the unusual hobbies I have run down is the art of im- personating other people as well as being able to ape birds and beasts. The character behind all this fun-provoking burlesque is Walter MacLeod, of Lorne Valley, who earns his daily shekels as a carpenter.

Walter can do more than mere- ly impersonate another; he actually can make himself look, talk and walk like anyone he chooses to ape. I have known him to step outside his own home, adjust his hat at a new angle, pull his height up a few inches, change the entire expression on his face. then knock on the door and ask his father if Walter was at home. The ruse never failed to fool the old man. Walter could play the same trick on any mem- ber of the family or any of his neighbors without ever giving away his identity,

As soon as possible after a heavy raln, cultivate the garden, as the water packs down the surface soil which then becomes crusted and cracked in the hot sun.

I never shall forget that night a masquerade dance was being held in Cardigan hall. It was during the era of prohibition and prohibi- tion officers: and as Walter and 1 drew near the dance hall we heard some of the local boys whooping it up in a near-by shed. Every HPW and then the‘ sound of bottle and glass came distinctly to our curl Without a moment's hesitation my friend stepped from the car and in the voice of the local con- stable demanded to know what in tarnation was going on. It was a very dark night and the boys, not being able to see well, rushed peli- mell throuflh the rear door and windows, almost breaking their necks in en attempt to get away- On another occasion, Walter led his neighbor a merry chase around

Another large class of people, who are always wailing and beating ‘II>¢°‘3>@°‘$°9%"“34°‘€ upon their breasts because they are lonely, are those who are not will- ing to pay the price of society. It takes time and money and effort to cultivate friends. To have people desire your companionship you have to make yourself pleasant and agreeable and entertaining. You have to sacrifice a lot of your tastes and opinions and soft-pedal a lot of your theories, and they will not do this.

The first thought in treating gen- eral itching of the skin is to look for some general ailments of the body such as exhaustion, blood pressure disturbances, go-ut, liver and gall bladder disturbances. and infection of the teeth, tonsils. gums and large intestine.
