Mustard Bath For Children.

When your young hopeful comes in
from his playtime sneezing and cough
ing and showing various indications OF
having caught cold, leave the usual
drugs and try Il mustard bath for
warding off future trouble Tie two
tablespoonfuls Of ground mustard in
small piece of cheese cloth and put it
in Il tubful of water as hot as one can
comfortably bear. Rub thoroughly att,
erward and get the patient to bed as
soon as possible to guard against more
cold
This plan of taking a mustard bath
when the usual indications of severe
cold present themselves is equally good
for adults. but it is especially recon-
mended for the little tots who so often
expose themselves thoughtlessly dur
ing playtime and who should not be
allowed to become accustomed to drugs
in any form unless prescribed by a
physician for severe cases.

Adorn Yonr RoolSs.

A charming way of identifying little
books, such as DIARIES engagement
books, almanacs ETC.. is to cut piece
of rough surfaced drawing paper or
vellum to the exact size of the cover
and fix it on with gum, little practice
insuring success. You can write some
appropriate line from your favorite au'
thor across the cover and then fill in
the remaining portion with a pretty
design. A daybook would look charm
ing with a brown paper cover, a red
sun rising from background of few
clouds and the words, Pack clouds
away and welcome day" An address
book could have row Of quaint red
rooted houses and the words, "Where
is it?" and a diary covered in black
paper with the words, silence is gold
en-" an hourglass and key. All these
put in with gold paint would be I'M

Is Your Face C1.an2

This is question which the average
woman would meet with a naughty
look. Yet nine times out Of ten it
would prove more than pertinent. The
girl who uses gallons of water daily
for washing purposes and who scrubs
and scrubs most diligently with soap
will be surprised how much cleaner
her skin could really get. A bit of cold
cream will show her whether her face
is clean or not. Rubbed softly into the
face with the tips Of the fingers. the
cold cream will take up every atom Of
dust or SCOT from the skin. and with
soft cloth gently wipe the face over
and over. Then have n look at the
cloth. YoL will be amazed to see now
grimy it is, realizing that your face
had not had the proper sort Of bath,
despite soap and water used so freely.

Charles White Admitted to the Bar

The friends of Mr.. Charles White
can now rejoice with him in the ac-
complishment of his first great task,
that of being admitted to the Iowa
Bar. Mr.. White has taught school
with great success near Kimballton for
some time and has utilized every spare
moment to obtain this degree. He at
tended school at Ames with great dis
tinction and then took up law at the
Iowa College of Law He is now ad-
mitted though will have to wait for
his diploma till June, when the next
class graduates, he attended Summer
school and finished this much ahead
of his class. None but those that have
had such task can realize the work
and grit it takes to hold on to this
kind of an undertaking with nothing
but time and ambition for backing.
Mr.. White has not decided as to his
place of location but many localities
are anxious to welcome man of pluck
and will power and we hope he will
have the fortune to settle where one
of his type will be appreciated.

In one particular this last summer has
been remarkable. 1t has been whole lot

the highest since 1887.

1911 inches. This summer we have had a

The amateur weather prophets, who IN

sharps paid by Uncle Sam, have decided
that this is to be a hard winter, for reasons
both numerous and interesting.
From such widely distant points as Horse
heads, N. Y; Bulls Bridge, Conn. and
Yaphank, l.. T., comes the news that the
nut crop is especially heavy tfis year.
and that the squirrels are beginning TO
work overtime in gathering it In. In hseH
this is almost sure sign.
