The London school board, by de-
cisive majority twenty-seven votes to
five, has refused to entertain the
proposition to provide dinners for
hungry school children, on the ground
that the scheme is far too Socialistic
in its character, and would only be a
prelude to feeding all children in the
public schools as we'll as educating
them. The original proposition came
from special committee which re-
ported that many of the poorer chill
aren came to school too hungry to
learn, and that although some of them
were fed by voluntary charity, this
was but an uncertain resource, and
that the matter was one that called
for official supervision.

to idleness, children are an incentive
to industry; where money makes for

A dredging box filled with powdered

laundry. Many stains sprinkled with
borax and soaked in cold water before
being washed in the usual way are
easily removed. Even fresh tea stains
can be thus done away with; though
if allowed to remain through a wash

for this treatment. Cocoa and choco-

A woman whose skin is oily should
wash it with toilet brush dipped in
warm suds of olive-oil soap or of pure
CASTLE soap; rinse the face with clear
warm water, dry it, and apply first
cream then toilet powder. An oily
skin generally means that its owner
is not always fastidiously careful in
her attention to it. Soap does not
cleanse the face rs does an applica-
ton of cream rubbed off with q fine

lines of the neck. An artist who has
studied the originals of the old
masters for years says the human
form has not only suffered by the use
of unnatural collars, but that many of
the most beautiful lines have been lost
through their influence.
Wearing a stiff, high neckband will
change the pose of the head to
marked degree, and this habit, con-
tinued through many years, causes
important changes in the muscles of
the neck, which soon become per-
manent. From an artistic standpoint
there has been a considerable change
in the ideal of feminine beauty during
recent years, and comparison of
paintings of women by old masters
and by modern artists shows sur
prising difference, as far as the neck
is concerned.
In old paintings the pose of the
head is perfectly natural and in grace
full curves. In modern studies OF
woman's figure the curves of the
neck and shoulders have almost dis
appeared.
The effect of the high collar is fire.
quently hurtful from the health point
of view. A very high band about the
neck tends to strain the muscles aad.
incidentally. the cords of the neck
and shoulders. If the collar be very
high in front it will impede the cir
culation, and in time result in head
aches and nervous strain. 1t is also
thought that high and stiff neck
bands are responsible, by impeding
circulation, for much Of the bad sight
