CLEAN CLOTHES IN BATTLE
Science Suggests Cleanliness of Wear
ing Apparel Before Begin
ming q Conflict.

Socrates took bath before drinking
the hemlock, and many brave men have
insisted on dressing carefully on the
eve of execution. Science now suggests
that in the case of man-o'-war crews
it is distinctly advisable that clean
clothes should be put on just before
going into action" The reason is, of
course, that pieces of soiled clothing
carried into wounds make them more
dangerous. The Japanese surgeon-in-
chief of Togo's feet, whom we are quot
ing, goes on to say that there are many
examples to show that a pocket note
book, knife, ETC., have saved mems lives
from shell fragments. We have had
few examples in the present war.
dare say that in time every combatant
on board warships in action will wear
somN kind Of protecting mask and
Jackets" Another hint given by DR..
Suzuki Is that the wounded should be
laid on the firing, not the non-firing,
side Of the vessel, for 1t is not the side
exposed to the enemy which is the most
dangerous, but the other, ''the frag-
ments of bursting shells dispensing In
O radiating manner"

BRIGHT RUSSIAN GIRL.
Shows Wonderful Aptitude for Learn
ing and Has Entered Mt.
Holyoke College.

Tyna Holman, a Russian Hebrew i'm
migrants daughter, just IA years old,
who four years ago became a student in
a West End school in Boston, has en-
tered Mount Holyoke college better
equipped for success in her student life
than the average college girl.
Arriving from Russia, in 1900, Miss
Holman not only mastered the English
language, of which she was entirely
ignorant, but became so proficient in it
and all other branches of study that
within four years she passed through
the primary and grammar grades, and
last June was graduated from the Girls
Latin school in Boston at the head of
her class.
Because she knew nothing about Eng
lish, says the New York Sun, Miss Hell
man at first was compelled to enter a
primary school with children only one
third her age, but with the aid OF Rus
sian and English dictionaries, which
her father provided her with, she swift
ly forged ahead, passing through the
primary and grammar grades in sim
gle year, for she had acquired in Russia
a good foundation for future learning.
From the Wells grammar school, in
the West End, Boston, she was grad
uated in 1901 and finished the four year
course in the Girls Latin school in three
years, an uncommon feat. Intending
at first to go to Boston university for a
year, she took the entry examinations,
passing six of the required studies with
honors, but subsequently she decided to
take the full course at Mount Holyoke
college. Even now she has made an i'm
preston with her instructors, and her
friends believe that she will win fresh
laurels during her college life.
Miss Helman's father keeps little
grocery store at 1913 Marion street, East
Boston. She is the eldest Of six chill
dren and is born student, mastering
the most difficult studies with the great
est ease. She is tall and graceful, Of the
brunette type, with swapping black eyes
and a countenance which fairly shines
with intellectually.

EXERCISE SELF-cONTROL.
Our Unhappiness and Unpleasantness
Spring from the Habit of
Irritability.

What's the use of being irritable?
What's the use of being upset by the
veriest trifles, or flying to pieces with
out cause? There is no use in it, and in
most cases it is mere habit, says Med
ical Talk for the Home. With some peo-
pie it seems to be natural to be easily
provoked, to be sarcastic and cutting in
their remarks, and to be ready on all oc-
casions to make thrust that will wound
the feelings of some one. They do it be-
cause they are irritable. 1t is not natur-
al, but simply bad habit, acquired after
being INDUCED in time after time. No
it is not natural to be irritable. Nature
has no such hideous blemishes upon her
fair, sweet face.
A mother says: Don't mind Lily, it's
natural for her to speak short It's her
way. and you must excuse her." A
daughter says: Don't mind papa, he's
gruff with everybody. That's his way.
and you must not pay any attention to
1t. He means all right"
What fimsy excuses for objectionable
sins! At least objectionable breeches
Of the etiquette of good breeding If
that is Lily's way she ought to be
ashamed of it and learn a better way.
II the father means well he ought to
act and speak pleasantly and politely.
An agreeable habit should be just as cas-
lily formed and adhered to as disagree
able one.
Moreover, irritability is sign of
weakness, and indicates a loss of self
control. Without self-control there is
no strength Of character, no real man
hood or womanhood. Don't be irritable.
Hold the reins over your temper and
don't be ruled by capricious whims that
come and e. like flashes. When you
have learned to practice the art of SELF
control, you are applying the most es-
sential rule of your life
Irritability is the forerunner Of many
grosser evils. II unchecked it inevitably
leads to misery, and in many cases it is
| the Introduction to life of cruelty and
crime.
II an irritable disposition is not a
natural disposition, then there must be
some predisposing cause or causes to
produce it. Sometimes the cause is ap-
parent, but more frequently it is not.
Very often irritability is the symptom
arising from an inharmonious physical
condition. It is a common thing for
physical causes to give rise to mental
symptoms. Our bodily ailments have
tendency to make us gloomy, pessi-
mistic, irritable. Indigestion lies at the
bottom OF many wrong and leads
many a soul into erratic ways. Then it
might be said that there is some reason
for being irritable. There may be q
cause, but it is an unreasonable one.
There Is no reason why anyone should
express irritability in his words or ac-
lions, although there may be cause I'M
DERIVING the tendency in his disposition
away from the beauty and sweetness Of
geniality and self-control.
If irritability in your case is a habit,
away with it. If there is an aggravating
cause, remove it. In the meantime,
control your nerves, your temper, your
mind. In short, control the self. Do this
and your reward will be great, both hero
and hereafter.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS HAT
Senator Tillman Relates Story Which
Shows How Mildness May
Turn Away Wrath.

Senator Tillman was talking to
some reporters about the efficacy OF
mildness in debate. "One can't be too
mild" he said, and one gets on es-
pecially well if along with ones mild
ness there goes some rare and unex,
pected quality. To be mild and at the
same time unexpected is, usually, to
succeed. Here is an instance of what
/ mean. At the end of a theatrical
performance one man armed to an.
other and cried in q harsh, grating
voice:
Look here, you Lave sat on my
silk hat It is ruined
"The other looked at the silk hat
1t was indeed wreck. He said:
81 am sorry. This is too bad. But,
he added, 1t might have been worse.
How might 1t have been worse?

cellent example of mildness coupled
with unexpectedness. It was:

THOUGHT DYING CHEAPER.
Patient Thought the Doctors Fee
More Of Hardship Than
Death

In the north of Yorkshire an old
couple lived on their farm entirely
alone. The good man had been ill for
some time, when the practitioner who
attended him advised that physician
should be. summoned from the near
est town for a consultation, relates
London Tit-Bits. The doctor came,
looked into the case, gave his opinion,
and, descending from the sick-room to
the kitchen, was there accosted by
the old woman saying:
well, doctor, what's your charger"
"My fee is guinea"
"a guinea, doctor! a guinea! And II
ye come again will it be another
guineaT
YES"
"a guinea, doctor? Bless met"
The old woman then went upstairs
to her husbands bedroom, and the
doctor, who waited below, heard her
say:
"He charges a guinea. And If he
comes again it'll be another guinea.
Now, what do you say?"
The feeble voice of the sick man
was lost on the doctor, but there was
no installing the energetic tones of
his wife as she answered.:
IF I were We I'd say no, like true
Yorkshire lad, and I'd die first!"

PAPA's WAY OF SPELLING.

I'm having such a dreadful time
At learning how to spell!
You see, I'm just little girl,
And can't do very we'll.
I've been to school for two months now
And so some words I know;
For teacher writes it on the board
And says ego" spells go
I've learned that "r-a-t" spells rat"
And "h-e-n" spells "hen;"
That Rover is dog"
And BEN is "Ben."
My teacher says she thinks that
Am doing very well;
But papa spells different way,
And says: 'Sh! Don't you tell"
You see, my names are Alice May.
And my last name is Hall,
And yesterday 1 spelled them out
At school before them all.
NY teachep said: That's nicely done!
And so at home last night
I spelled them out for my papa,
And thought had them right.
But papa said: you're wrong. my pet
For Alice
Spells Darling dear. and May
Spells 'sweetheart'-don't you seer
told him what my teacher said,
But he declared: "Oh no!
That's not the way your papa spells;
Your teacher doesn't know"
My papa wouldn't tell me wrong.
Or say what isn't true,
And yet my teacher says that she
Spells just the way do!
I'm 'fraid I'll never learn to spell
No matter how try
If darling s 'A-l-i-c-e"
And sweetheart" s May"

Toilet Hint

To remove blackheads and also to
soften the skin before applying cold
creams and lotions wiring a soft linen
towel out Of moderately hot water. Do
not have the towel hot enough to burn
the skin. Apply to the face, pressing
down into the curves of the eyes, nose
and mouth. Repeat several times until
the skin Is pink and soft. In this con-
dition it will absorb much more of the
oils and lotions. greatly increasing

Hartman received the following letter:

chronic constipation of several years

Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
so indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them
