PHYSICAL CULTURE HINTS
FOR BUSY WOMEN.


Marian Martineau in Chicago Tribune.
They say that the working woman
is not necessarily the woman who
goes out to an Office every day, or to
a shop, or to a factory, but that the
woman who stays at home and tolls
may be a working woman just as
truly At any rate, whether a wo-
man be what is called a working wo-
man, or a business woman. or a wo-
man who spends her time at home,
there are facts which she should
know, and without which she cannot
be as healthy as she should be.
1t can be taken for granted that the
business woman is a woman who
comes home tired. At night she is as
weary as is the stenographer who as
sists her. And it can be taken as a
matter of fact that every woman who
is employed comes home at night as
tired as she can be. Often she re-
turns to her home with all her men
tai as well as all her bodily strength
gone. Slapped out by the nervous ten
sion of the day.
Sometimes, more is the pity, the
working woman returns home prefer
naturally alert in brain. She cannot
quiet down. And when she lies down
to 90 to sleep her mind is still work
ing. She carries insomnia with her
late into the night, and when she
awakens in the morning it is with a
tired feeling that does not wear off
even after a good breakfast.
Way to Coax Sleep.
The woman who is employed must
get a good nights sleep. And for this
a London physician advises a tepid
bath and a cup of cocoa. He also ad-
vises light calisthenics. And he adj
vises the business woman not to go to
bed early, but to stay up until she is
sleepy, be it II o'clock or later. Co
ing to bed too early is bad.
The tired out woman should take |
mild sedative. 1t need not be any
thing stronger than catnip tea or a
light dose of some soothing bromide
powder, or something that could be |
given to any baby But it will act
upon the nerves, quieting them and
soothing them into that first sweet
slumber which leads to a long, restful
sleep.
The tired out business woman is
ike baby. To a certain extent she
must make her own diet She must
ind what agrees with her and she
must stick to it. Above all things she
must not eat that which she does not
ike.
When it comes to bathing, the nerv-
JUS woman should take Punch's adj
ice, which is, Don't" Water is not
yood for the woman who is nervously
for it robs her flesh of its
ills and eXhausts her too much. If she !
an capture a tub of water which is :
ust the temperature of her body, well !
nd good But if it is hot enough to +
hook her or cold enough to chill her, >
hen it does her more harm than good. :
The nervous woman should exercise,
ut she should exercise not her tired
muscles, but her rested ones. Her ;,
nees are not tired, therefore she
hould exercise them. If she will do .
cries Of chair exercises she will find !.
lat they do.her good. .

Apple Taffy for Children.

Apple taffy is delicious sweet for
the children and less injurious to the
little insides" than most sweets.
Choose firm, ripe, tart apples and put
in each one stick three or four
inches long. Put two pounds of brown
sugar in saucepan and add a little
water. Boil until it threads, then dip
the apples in this strip and turn them
over and over until covered. Set on
buttered paper until cold.

Black Bean Soup.

The liquor in which ham is boiled
may be made the basis of delicious
and nutritious soup. Soak a pint of
black beans over night, boil till per-
fectly tender in the water in which
they were soaked, mash fine, add
pint or little more of the ham liquor
which must be allowed to get cold so
that the fat can be removed, and press
through a sieve upon few slices of
lemon and rings of hard boiled eggs.
This is the Tblack bean soup" which
has such reputation.

then lay them on fiat surface and
with small brush scrub them thor
oughly with tepid or cold lather of
white CASTLE soap. When quite clean
let cold water run on them by holding
them under a running faucet until the
soap is all rinsed off. Pull them length
wise until they are straight and shape
ly and let them dry in a cool place,
pulling them again when partly dry.
By this treatment they will retain
their natural shape and wear for
months after.
