f WIFE OF PRESIDENT
IS VERY GOOD MIXER
THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, CHARLOTTE, N. C, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 16, 1921.
Washington, Dec. 16. Mis. Harding
is the best '-'mixer" who ever presided
as mistress of the White House, accord
ing to the oldest attaches there. They
cannot recall a first lady who was so
democratic.
Many visitors going through 1he
Kast Room and other public parts of
the White House have been given an
unexpected thrill by the sudden appear
ance of Mrs. Harding on the scene.
She takes great delight in coming
downstairs unexpectedly and dropping
in on sightseers wandering curiously
about.
Although they usually recognize her
in advance, she always walks up and
extending her hand announces that "I

am Irs. Harding and I'm giaa to see
you here."
She usually asks what State the vis
itor is from and many times they dis
cover mutual acquaintances. There is
nothing formal about these little meet
ings and if she is busy, she says so
ami oes on. If she has time, often
she shows them through other rooms.
Despite the heavy drain on her en-
t,.o Tinyiin?- thoroughly eniovs
I her lifo in the White House. Her only
difficulty is in adhering to me rest
schedule which Dr. Sawyer insists
upon. Ho cr.lls every morning and
watcher her closely becausa in his
yea's as the Harding family physician,
he has learned that Mrs. Harding is
too active for her own good, and his
hardest job is to get her to take suffi
cient rest.
Mrs. Harding is fond of motoring
and -rides about Washington a great
deal, much of the time alone. Twice
a we't- she sroes out to see Mrs.
George B. Christian, Jr.. wife of the
President's secretary. They were next
door neighbors in Marion and Mrs.

A lady in Waukegan had twelve hus
bands in the war.
TRe uniforms intrigued her, she mar
ried every one.
Allotments from the government, she
signed the A'ouchers for
Until the secret service said her work
was overdone.
She is the champion war bride of the
universe today,
To send a dozen husbands to the
gory battlefield.
The only one in record in this land who
made it pay
Four hundred hard and shiny plunks,
that was the monthly yield.
And then arrived the armistice, and
finally, the peace.
She lost her opportunity to turn an
honest dime.
If she had kept on marrying and war
had failed to cease.
She would have been the richest wom
an in the world, in time.
The western lady who drew govern,
ment allotments on twelve husbands
who were, she claimed, in the war, will
probably not be found among those who
strongly favor disarmament.
Bank clerk stole $29,000 to go into
the bootlegging business. He must have
planned a very modest business.
Oriental harems are being cut down.
In other words, they are now bobbed
harems.
Uplifter says men. as well as women
should wear wedding rings. But what's
the use? You can always tell a mar
ried man without looking to see if he is
wearing one.
Seattle, according to figures, now out
ranks Reno as a divorce center. West
ward the course of vampires takes its
way.
The highest form of gratitude has
just been exhibited bv a New Yorker.
He left in his will $100,000 to a woman
who refused to marry him.
RESOLUTIONS OF AN ACTOR.
I will look not on the ink when it ?s
red. They don't serve it any more.
I will not, during the year, take more
than seven curtain calls. This is the
surest resolution I ever made.
I will not offer to get complimentary
tickets for any of my friends.
I will not accept a contract calling
for less than $1,000 a week which car
ries an actual salary of less ..than $50
a week. ' .
I will not go in the pictures, I have
been tried out by nine companies here
and I have no way of getting to the
coast.
I will not go on the road this win
ter. I have tried every company tha;
has left New York since Setember.
I will not be married more than three
times during the present season unless
the prospects are particularly promis
ing. I will not eat in the Automat more
than three times a day.
Prohibition note: Peter Feltman of
Grand Rapids, walked into an under
taker's shop, carrying a satchel, declar
ed he was a corpse, and asked to be laid
out.

FINE FOR BUILDING UP
THE SYSTEM AFTER
I COLDS.
Of all known drugs Oeosote is
recognized by the medical fraternity
as the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coushs and colds
and other forms of tnroac and lung
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing
elements which soothe and heal the in
flamed membrane and stop the irrita
tion and inflammation while the creo
sote goes on to the stomach, is ab
sorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble, and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent lor
building up the system after colds or
i the flu. Increases appetite and nedy-
weight. Ask your druggist. (Adv.) .
When a hospital patient is "doing
as well as can be expected," he may
be in any sort of condition from
convalescent to one jump ahead of
notice informing the world that his
interment will be private.
SOME HELP.
"The girls don't seem to be wearing
any more as Winter gets colder."
"Oh, they put on an extra coat of
powder or two."
They say the blonde type is rapidly
disappearing, but the only thing dis
appearing we saw about a healthy
looking blonde at the cafteria yester
day was the food on her plate.
Charles B. Ferren, of Colorado
Springs, died the other day and left

them will accept it. The court is
puzzled what to do with It. We are
anxious to help out the court. Send

SOUND ADVICE.
Bear this in mind when'er you can,
And you will never fall;
You'll find nobody likes the man
Who thinks he knows it all.

THE COST OF MIDDLEMEN.
Up in New Jersey, truckers can
get only nine cents for a crate of
lettuce containing 24 heads. As that
will not pay freight to market, they
are plowing under their lettuce crop.
How much do you pay per head for
lettuce and why?

and use her till my work is through.''
