JUNE 24,1922. NEW YORK WOMEN ORGANIZE ANTI-FANATIC LEAGUE TO REFORM REFORMERS Will Remove the Blue From the Blue Laws By MARGARET ROIIE. You busy old reformers, Reforming all about. The A. F. League will get you If you don’t watch out. • • • NEW YORK, June 24.—Whoopee! ' The worm has turned. Os course it is the female worm. The male of the species, all bound round with blue laws and repressions "like a cocoon, has never budged. The ladies, though, all have their dander up. They are just naturally sick and tired of being told they can’t do this end they mustn’t do that. It was had /enough when the cock tail was pronounced forbidden fruit, but since a poor flapper-grandmother can no longer eYen take a wee puff or two of a cigarette in public, except behind a smoke screen, it’s time she was getting all smoked up about it. Then when employers put a ban on bobbed hair it surely was cutting it a bit too fine, and now that the gan mayor has vetoed the female knickerbockers —well, the women are just panting for revenge. This situation is the answer to the Anti-Fanatic League of Women which has just sprung into being and full fledged activity in New York State. The members are agin’ all proses Eional uplifters. reformers, kill joys, fanatics and censors in toto. ad fini tum, and then some. Nliss Belle Norton, honest to good less, gun-toting deputy sheriff of New York County, is the leader of this 6turdy female band. ” She hopes to lead them on till not a single little reformer is left to men ace the healthy personal freedom of our American people. The A. F. Leaguers are all pledged to do their darndest to force repeal of all the repressive laws already put over and to defeat all the little indigo hued joy-killers anyone may en deavor to foist on us hereafter. Just why is a reformer anyway? We really have never been able to find out, but what he is, in the last analysis (and, of course, that's psy choanalysis) is perfectly clear—and also perfectly awfuL According to the very best psycho analysis authorities, a reformer is a neurasthenic nuisance. He usually has the weakness of indulging to ex cess in something which to a regular human being would be classed as a Eimple and normal pleasure—if you see what I mean. Consequently it makes him per fectly miserable to see other folks enjoying in moderation what, as practiced by him, would amount to a vice. In order to remove all temptation from his own path, and at the same time keep other people from being happy when he can’t, he agitates for laws forbidding said simple pleasure as a pernicious vice. And there you are. Rather neat, what? Now that we have the low-down on the reformer, and it Is certainly low, the A. F. League is confident the public no longer will sit back and ’ lei the censors tell them they can’t design their own hair cuts, look on wine or meat when it’s red, or play ball or go'.f on Sunday. The leaguers contend blue laws and red blood just naturally won't mix —indefinitely.

The ADVENTURES of & Raggedy Raggedy Ann and Andy By JOHNNY ORUELLE Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Mister Minky, the little old man who had found the Wishing Pebble where Rag gedy Ann had burled it lay sound asleep at the side of the Apple Butter bog. They had eaten so much bread and butter with apple butter spread upon it they had gone to sleep. Presently Raggedy Ann awakened and sat up very quietly so as not to disturb Raggedy Andy and Mister Minky. “Well, well, well,” Ann thought to herself. “Herew we are all sleeping soundly side by side. It doesn’t seem as though Mister Minky was the mean lit tle old stingy man who has been causing Raggedy Andy and me so much trouble lately. First when I found the wishing pebble and wished for the nice things for the Muskrats and the other little creatures of the great yellow meadow, 1 did not really know that it was a wishing pebble and I buried it in the sand. Then Mister Minky, who was a very selfish little old man then, saw where I hid the wishing pebble and dug l| •• ■ ■ . it up. Then when he couldn’t jnake his wishes come true with the wishing peb ble, he thought that I had made my wishes come true because I had a candy heart, and ever since then he has been trying to get my candy heart and eat it. Now we are good friends and it seems so nice not to have him chasing us all over trying always to get my candy heart. Not that I care for my candy heart so much,” thought Raggedy Ann, “but I know it would not make his wishes come true even if he did eat it.” “Eeeyaw,” yawned Mister Minky as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. “Well I must hurry and catch Raggedy Ann and eat her candy heart so that I can make my wishes come true." Then seeing Rad gedy Ann sitting in front of him and Raggedy Andy lying sound asleep be side him, Mister Minky remembered that he was now good friends with the two Raggedys. “I wasn’t quite awake yet. Raggedy Ann," he said. “Please excuse me,” “Tes indeed. “Raggedy Ann laughed," I'm very glad that we are good friends now, Mister Minky, for if we were not, Raggedy Andy and I would have to get up and run.” “I'm sorry that I chased yon so much Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy,” said Minky as Raggedy Andy sat up and rubbed the sand out of his shoe button eyes. “Well," said Raggedy Andy, “maybe we can make np for all the fun you missed by having a lot more fun." “Maybe we can," Mister Minky re plied “I wonder where Missus Witchie and the Policeman are by this time." “Oh. I guess they reached home long ago," said Raggedy Ann. "I wander if Missus Witchie is worried because she left her Magical Buttons laying upon the ground? Yon know," Raggedy Ann said to Mister Minky, “Raggedy Andy and I jumped out of the balloon so that we could run back and find the magical buttons. We left Missus Witchie sit ting in the bottom of the balloon basket crying." “Well, I have Missus Witchie’s Magical Butttons safe In my pocket," said Minky, “and I would like to go with you to Missus Witchie's house and give them back to her. Maybe when she knows that I am not going to chase you to get yonr candy heart ah* will be friends with me, too.” “I’m snrs she win be friends with you. Mister Minky,” said Raggedy Ann. “for Mlesua Witchie Is friendly to every one. She couldn't be otherwise with such a : wonderful kindly heart as she has,” “Then,” said Mister Minky, “let’s hurry j to her house and maybe she will change 1 things so that they will taste good to me Instead of bitter.” “Did the ice cream soda water taste bitter to you, Mister Minky ?’” asked Raggedy Andy. “Indeed it did," Mister Minky replied as he puckered up his mouth. “Why, 1 never tasted anything io bitter Id all my life unlws it wasUie magic Rookies in the cookie field. They were very bitter, too.” "And the bread and butter and apple butler; did it taste bitter to you?" Rag gedy Andy wishes to know. "It was so good I could eat twenty slices right now," Mister Minky replied. “Do you know what I believe?" asked Raggedy Ann. “No. what?” Minky and Raggedy Andy asked in reply. “f believe that Mister Minky has changed clear down to his shoe boots and that from now on. unless he changes back into a selfish person, he will enjoy eating the cookies and ice cream sodas." “Do you really think so, Raggedy Ann?" Minky asked, his eyes filling with tears and his mouth watering at the thought. “Oh, I hope It Is true, for I have wanted some ice cream soda watet for almost two weeks." “Then let's hurry over to the soda water tree and have some,” said Raggedy Ann as she jumped to her feet and started running. Raggedy Ann was the first to reach the soda water tree and had a glass of raspberry flavor all ready for Mlstet Minky when he reached h'>r. “How is that. Mister Minky?" Rag gedy Ann wished to know. Mister Minky didn't try to talk. The soda water tasted so good he could only blink his eyes. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy each bad five glasses and Mister Minky fid sixteen because he was a little larger than the Raggedy's and then he had not bad any soda water for two weeks and he was very thirsty. "Now," said Raggedy Ann when they had all the sodas they could drink, "let's hurry and find Missus Witchie and re turn her magical button*, for she may be worrying. But we will stop on the wny and eat some of the lovely cookies with all kinds of different flavored icing on them. Clubs and Meetings The Alvin F. Hovey \V. R. C.

Trichinosis is caused by organisms In the form of small round worms, barely visible to the eye, which occur In cysts, or membraneous pouches, in the muscles of Infected meat-eating animals, generally the hog. the rat and man. They are known to remain alive, thoi gh Inactive, in the hog for at least 11 years. When the raw or imperfectly-cooked meat from such an animal is eaten, the worms are lib erated during the process of digestion, grow and multiply In the intestine and the young worms or larvae then bore the!.- way Into the blood stream and flnaly into the muscles of the new host. Here they gradually become encysted and remain until they die or are, in turn, liberated, as before. The degree of illness is thought to vary with the number of living tri china eaten. The number of worm larvae in a pound of infected pork has been estimated as high as 500,000. Thorough cooking of the infected meat kills the larvae. The disease is, therefore, confined. In most cases, to those of nationalities which eat pork raw or only slighty cooked. The epidemic of this disease re ferred, to numbered 34 cases. Inves tigation proved conclusively that the source of the epidemic was an infec ted hog which had been slaughtered recently, a part of the meat having been eaten as sausage.

Mrs. Herrod’s Letters—The Secret Is Oat BY A BRIDE, So Bonny entered upon her first year as my own was completed. Bonny was going to find out at the start what pov erty means. And Jack and I, who had more than ordinary advantages, owing to .Taek’s industry and thrift, had landed in bankruptcy. Bonny was going to be happy ever afterward. But was I ever going to be happy again? I woud have starved for my husband or with him. And yet I had been unable to withstand the luxuries other girls bad. I hadn't been able to practice ordinary economies to help him. In the short prosperity of our first year I had shown the wisdom of a baby. Bankrupt and jobless. Jack bad come to his senses arid made me face a few hard facts and the hardest was this: No longer by a kiss and caress could I turn him from setlous discusion of our welfare or persuade him to let me have my own way. The shock of this discoTery was a tonic. If Jack would no longer humor ipe as a child wife, I would better behave like a woman. “And instead of childishly wondering what is in Mrs. Herrod’s letters,” said ■ I to Me, “why not ask .Tack?" And so I did, my tone a-qulver with tears, with reproach: "Here—see —I have a dozen of them— only a small part!" “Why—Peggins! Why—you’re not hu man—l meant not feminine 1 Y'ou mean to say you'Te kept ’em —and never read 'em ?’’ . G. O. P.
