in this line apply yourself diligently
TO the study of sympathy. Put your
self out to do a kind act or to say a
kind word to help brighten the lives
Of all people less fortunate than your
self for sympathy is a healing, sooth
ing balm that is most acceptable, no
matter what station in life one walks
in.
l know it's worse than hackneyed
to tell you TO DO as you would be
done by" but the man or woman who
follows this homely old saying is the
beloved of the gods and of more than
one mortal, by the way. We hear peo-
pie on every side laugh at old fash
ions and old ideas, but our grand
mothers were taught better than to
deliberately laugh in a friends fsce,
or 10 gaze at them in that defiant. L
don -believe-you sort Of fashion that
is such a part Of the girl of to-day.
Her sweet face framed in its queer
bobbing curls never looked as though
her head had been put on backward
and her eyes didn't travel serenely up
and down a guest from her head to
her toes either while her tongue was
bidding her welcome. No. Grand
mothers manners may have been old
fashioned, but somehow there was
something irresistibly sweet about
them and the girl in this age and
generation who can improve on them
is little short of a wonder. Showing
true sympathy and sweetness is the
truest way that any one, either chill
dren or grown folks, can show their
good manners.

ABOUT BROAD SHOULDERS Liz
zie)-Fashion is not always as foolish
as we are led to believe. Like most
customs of civilized life the harmful
mistakes or abuses are being continu-
lily harped upon, but the real values,
which are constantly coming to the
fore. are scarcely considered until they
are old stories. The fashionable broad
shoulder waists are cases in point. The
broad shoulder effect has already
proven a blessing to WomanlSind which
will be handed down to posterity. 1t has
not only inspired but forced the need
for better physical development. Force
of example has demonstrated, as ar
gument never has, the pitiful differ
ence between a narrow, fiat chest and
shoulders which have so long been
accepted as truly feminine, and the
beauty of strong, well-molded lines.
The first improvement in form was al
most entirely matter OF the dress

fiat form was encountered. Then, and
not till then, was the physical defect
indisputable and women who had not
enjoyed the privileges of gymnasium
practices realized that they must de-
velop their bodies to keep up with
the pace set by fashion. The fact
that you observe so many robust
women to-day Is not that they all
happened to be born healthy, but
they have made themselves strong and
rosy by careful living. You can do the
same by daily practice and simple,
wholesome diet In the main you
have little to complain of besides your

BY NINE. FALLOPPE


Dear Madam: Il would appreciate a
few words in regard to treatment OF in
sect bites.
There are a number OF insects which
show preference for mankind and their
bites and stnes may be treated on general
principles; first. something to relieve the
irritation then a soothing, healing salve.
For immediate relief any alkaline wash
may be used, one made with ammonia be
ing very good, or boraN, or corrosive subli-
mate The latter. being extremely poison
Gus should be used with great care.
Take three grains OF corrosive suhlimate
to one ounce OF water and apply to wound
until relieved. Mercwial ointment IS
especially good.
Some insects do not bite hut bury
themselves in the skin. causing consider
able swelling and irritation for few days,
when they perish and the irritation sub
sides. This is true OF the irritating har-
vest mite, which is a dimmutve red in
sect found during summer and autumn
months in the fields and woods, on the
grass, bushes and weeds. This wound may
be relieved with u weak sulphur oint-
ment
The flea not only bites. but iujects a
poisonous fluid into the wound which
causes considerable irritation. This may
be relieved by solution of napthol or cor
rosive sublimate.
The bedbug has a singing and sucking
apparatus. and produces wound which
itches and burns. 1t may be distinguished
from other bites, where there is DOUBT, by
