TIE SUMMER VACATION.
A Change, Even II In Minor Things, VIII
BE Great Benefit.

In The Ladies Home Journal Edward
IS. Box gives some sensible advice upon
Going Away In Summer" He points
To- the mistake that, instead Of Arrest and
change, 50 many women and girls phys
ically tired and in need of recuperation,
make of their vacations a round Of con-
tinuous gayety, every moment crowded
with some excitement or pleasure. In
consequence the woman who goes away
for rest comes back tired and worn
out. Mr.. Box very truly says: I'VE all
speak Of going away when we start ON
a vacation, bat most Of Us do not go
away. Going away means cutting
ourselves entirely free from everything
that has entered into our lives during
che year, away from things which have
occupied us away from disturbing trou-
bles, away from depressing surround
ings, away from ones daily self to seek
for oue's best self, away from familiar
places and people. Such change means
q change in ourselves, in our thoughts,
in our ideas, in our motives, in our out
look on everything. The idea that we
must ever keep ourselves busy, even IN
vacation, so that the mind may not be-
come mstod j. all nonsense.

why He Wasn't Invited.

Arthur f. Clark last spring purchased
a seaside cottage at Bay Ridge, y. y.
Bay Ridge has yacht club, and as it
costs pretty heavily to rent yacht for
private sail somebody suggested to
Clark that he would better join the
club SO that he would be invited to 20
out with those who owned their own
yachts
This seemed to be a good idea, and
Clark name was soon enrolled as a
member of the club He was informed
that he would be expected to purchase
Yachting cap and wear it as the in
sigma OF his membership Mrs Clark
accompanied her spouse to hat store
to help him pick out his yachting head
gear He selected one with blue band,
on which an anchor was embroidered in
gold lace. Mrs. Clark thought two
anchors would look much prettier and
SO Arthur, like dutiful husband, yield
ed 70 her better Judgment and bought a
cap with double anchor
Day after day he wore that cap, buS
10 one invited him to 20 sailing Ever +
body else seemed to be invited out, but
that cap apparently acted as a hoodoo,
and its wearer was compelled to sniff
the sea breezes from the land Finally
one afternoon regatta race was ar
ranged. and it was desired that all
available yachts should start Clark
was urged to bring out his yacht with
the rest
why, bless your heart, he protest
ed, IL have no yacht "
What" cried several club members
in chorus. No yacht Then what are
you doing with that capG"
why, ism the cap all rightg' STAN
mered its wearer
"Yes-but how about the double

Mrs. Clark thought two looked pref
tier than one Does it make any differ
ence? What do the blamed anchors
mean, anyhow
1.-TWO anchors they said, indicate
that you own yacht. and one that you
are a member entitled to sail free ON
the clubs yachts.
MIR Clark still thinks that there is
no discount on his wife's taste in mat
tiers of dress, but he now buys whatever

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Try to remove the stains of old paint
from cotton or wooden goods by first
rubbing over the stains butter or olive
oil to soften the paint and then using
chloroform on them.
In sick room where there is Ie-
YER patient the temperature may be
lowered quickly by hanging up sheets
wrung out of ice or very cold water
and fastening them to the doors and
walls.
If spoonful of borax is put into the
last water in which white clothes IRE
rinsed, it will whiten them very much.
The borax should be dissolved in lit
tie hot water before it is added to the
rinsing water.
Any stain from fruit ON table linen
should be looked after before the linen
is put to soak in water in which there is
any soap. Hold the stained pieces over
a vessel and pour boiling water through
it. This is better than soaking in water,
as it prevents the stain from spreading.
Glover blossom tea is said to be an
excellent thing to purify the blood and

In l543 the manufacture of iron in
England became "a permanent item of
industry through the efforts of Ralph
Page and Peter Baude.
The first export of iron from this
country was shipment of bar iron to
England in l717; the first shipment of
pig iron was made in 1928.
Iron is the only metal which appears
in more than one color. 1t is found of

A lump of gum camphor placed in

A scorch mark, if not too heavy, may
be removed by moistening with water
