How to Keep Them In Coed Condition,
All the Year Around.
At this season of the year 1t is almost
impossible to keep the hands from chap
pirg and looking red when they are in
water as frequently as it is necessary to
have them. Below is given most ex-
cellent recipe for making laureline,
which is simply and easily prepared at
home and very inexpensive.
Two ounces Of glycerine, one ounce
Of alcohol, one-fourth ounce of gum
trngacanth, one-fourth to onc-half
ounce of rose water or violet perfume,
one pint of water; soak the tragacanth
in the water two days, then strain and
add the other ingredients. Cut the
glycerine with the alcohol. IL it should
be too thick add little more water and
alcohol. Bottle and it is ready for use.
In very cold weather, if it is too thick
to pour easily, heat it by setting over
the register or in bowl of hot water.
While most people admit there is
nothing bette: for the scalp than thor
ough brushing of the hair morning and
night, many will not persist in this,
and are continually asking what will
make the hair come in when it Is fast
coming out. Many of the best hair
dressers and BARRIERS are recommending
rubbing pure grease in very thoroughly
every night or every other night. In
several instances this has proved very
eifectual and new growth of short and
strong fuzz all over the head has beer
the result.
Many children and some of an older
growth are severely troubled with
dandruff in the scalp, which always
makes the head and hair look dirty.
This can be removed by rubbing pure
grease in every other night and in the
morning following wash thoroughly
with tar soap.-Carrie May Ashton, in

bran or sawdust until it was tight and
firm as if carved out of wood or ivory.
Over this was n cover of thin white lawn
or bolting-cloth, with few small rose
buds embroidered in pink and light
green. The cushion part, when stuffed,
measured IA inches in length, and not
quite three inches in width. The silk

was pinked in sharp points, and was
about 2b inches wide. The lace frill
was the same width, and the small bows
made of long, fiat loops of daisy ribbon
were placed about the edges, us shown

Another of these cushions was made
CT blue satin, with forget-mc-nots on

which was made of yellow silk, had but

Some are made eight-sided, like. an

To Make paper Lamp Shades.

If you know just how to go to work,
a paper lamp shade is most easily
made. The crimpcd paper comes in
circular lengths expressly adapted to
this use. Choose three well-assorted
tints harmonizng with your furnish
ings; place the lamp before you on q
table, with its wire frame on, and slip
the paper over, drawing It together at
the top and leaving good heading.
Tie it loosely around the wire with n
string, in order to regulate the funess
before you tighten it. Put over the
other two papers in the same way and
then draw or bend the lowest paper
under about two inches above the edge,
pulling it out slightly; form the next
into waves and draw the upper one into
waves above, SO that it will form van
dykes all around. A well-made paper
flower of harmonizing tints nestled
among the folds adds to the effect.

Mortality of Physicians.

DR.. Cortright, in the Brooklyn Med
ical Journal, has written paper on
Mortality and Causes Of Death in Med
ical Men," This paper is based on the
records of 450 physicians who have died
in New York and Brooklyn during the
past eight years. The average age of
death was SAG years, and the mortality
was about 1898 as compared with n
mortality Of 1898 in clergymen and
1923 in lawyers. There is considera-
ble mortality from the self-administra-
tion Of drugs; that from consumption
is about half the general ratio, while
that from typhoid fever is very high.
There is high death rate due to
arterial sclerosis and other degener-
alive changes. The practical conclu-
sion, deducted from DR.. Cortright's sta
tistics, says the Medical Journal, is that
doctors should take at least three weeks
complete rest and change yearly,
should be extremely moderate in the use
of stimulants, should be regular in their
meals, never worry, and never hurry.
This Is the kind of advice that doctors
give, but do not take. The further sug,

A NEGRO ON NEGROES.
The Race Should Cultivate Self-Reliance
Lost In Slavery.

The Race Should Cultivate Self-Reliance
Lost In Slavery.
"The greatest injury that slavery
did my people was to deprive them Of
that executive power, that sense Of
self-dependence which are the glory
and the distinction of the Anglo-Saxon
race. For $50 years we were taught
to depend on some ane else for food,
clothing, shelter and for every move
in life, and you cannot expect what
was $50 years in getting into a race
can be gotten out in rs or 30 years,
unless we at best put into their midst
Christian leaders.
Neither here nor in any.part Of the
world do people come into close rela-
tions with race that is to n large ex-
tent empty-handed and empty-headed.
One race gets near another in proper
ton as they are drawn by commerce,
in proportion as the one gets hold of
something that the other wants or re-
spects. Commerce, we must acknowl-
edge in the light of history, is the
great forerunner Of civilization and
peace. Whatever friction exists be-
tween the black and white man in the
south will disappear in proportion as
the black man, by reason of his intelli-
gence and skill, can create something
that the whites want or respect, can
make the white man dependent on the
negro for something instead Of all the
dependence being on the other side.
at is important and right that all
the privileges of law be ours. It's vast
ly more important that we be prepared
for the exercises of these privileges.
"Nonc Of us will deny that immedi.
ately after freedom we made serious
mistakes. We began ut the top. We
made these mistakes, not because we
were black people, but because we were
an ignorant and inexperienced people.
We have spent time and money at
tempting to go to congress and state leg
islatures that could better have been
spent in becoming the leading real es-
tate dealer or carpenter in our own
country. We have spent time and
money in making political stump
speeches and in attending political con-
ventions that could better have been
spent in starting dairy farm or truck
garden and thus have laid material
foundation on which we could have
stood and demanded our rights. When
n man eats another persons food, wears
another persons clothes and lives in
another's house, it is pretty hard to
tell how he is going to vote or whether
| he votes at all.

fall as we fall, we are strong when you
