Practical Suggestions for Summer.
The great temptation after exposure to
the heat and the probabilities of sunburn is
to wash the face. Water acts like a NOR
dant to set the dye of the sunburn. The
complexion that possibly might have es-
capped with faint redness becomes scarlet

wish to record our disagreement with the
condemnatory speaker. and in particular
with one of his remarks regarding woman's
responsibilities as mother. ITO her man
must leave the training OF the boys and

who went into his private chapel, accom-

blessed silver bowl full of gold and silver
rings. These rings were afterward dis
tributed to people who were afflicted by

The Butcher-Bird's Larder.

From Country Life
1t is possible that the butcher birds "cu-
rious and cruel habit of impaling various
creatures upon hedge thorn Is his way of
supporting his wife during her period of
seclusion. OF many species the female is
fed by the male on the nest, but the

lures which are too large to be eaten at a
mouthful. Even II the male could ALWAYS
drag these carcasses to the nest, it is OBJ

face gently with cold cream or with ordi-
nary sweet cream, and the effects of the
sunburn will soon pass away
Before going out in the heat apply little
cold cream to nose, cheeks, neck and hands
This will prevent tan and sunburn and is
an excellent prevention before taking a sea
bath or swim, or a row on the lake or a
turn on the golf links.
If the face is blistered from exposure to
the sun make a paste of oatmeal. with one
part water and two parts glycerine. Apply
to the face and keep on as long possible.

Prickly heat is a very trying summer
trouble. The only relief comes from the
use Of powder. A dime and little time
and trouble will supply a pint boxful of
powder which If ready made would perhaps
cost 90 cents. Crush half a pound of orCi-
nary starch under the rolling pin; mix it
with three ounces of freshly powdered orris
root, put through an ordinary sitter, then
through thin muslin bag; it is ready now
for the powder box, to be applied by means
OF powder puff, or II may be kept in
muslin bag and busted on the face or arms
The orris root, IL fresh, has the odor of
newly gathered violets.

When going a journey take a bottle of
aromatic vinegar or powdered borax to
soften the hard waters that flow for travel

to get on the road. and a little Juice in

Ice water kills more persons than strych-

ed that the floor space recently added
to his place of business would be used
as a carriage repair shop and that the
latest improved machinery for doing
this kind of work was being added.
One part of his shop is devoted exclu-
siyely to carriage work.
Billie says this is an age of special
ties and it applies to his line of work
as well as to the great professions. His
ihorse-shoers do absolutely nothing
else but shoe horses, and when they
have done their work you can't have
it done better anywhere else. The
same thing can be said Of his work
men in the carriage department.
Remember his shop on Broadway
