FOR HEALTH AND CONF RT.
Variety Of Simple Remedies for occa-
sional Small Ailments and
ImpeFfeetions. -.

A raw onion eaten just before retiring
is excellent for insomnia.
If the hands are rubbed on stick of
celery after peeling onions the smell will
be entirely removed.
TO purify the breath after eating on
ions eat q little sugar, coffee beans or
parsley moistened with sugar.
Everything that goes out Of sick
room should be distinfected before it
goes. This applies to 1.-THE doctor and
nurses as we'll as to the soiled linen.
When the hands have become soft and
shrunken by using soda and hot water
rub them with common salt and it will
help to make them smooth again.
For whooping cough make a palatable
strip by slicing onions fine and after
sprinkling plentifully with brown sugar
allow the onions to stand between hot
plates under a press until all the juice
is forced out.
A simple beautifler that few women
appreciate is the taking of fruit juices.
AS much as three glasses day of the
freshly pressed juice of some fruit will
have a marked effect ON the system and
the complexion.
A lemon bath is considered a daily
necessity in the West Indies. Three or
four lines or lemons are cut into the
water and allowed to lie for half an hour
SO that the juice may be extracted. Such
bath gives to the skin a delightful
sense of freshness and cleanliness.
The old-fashioned remedy of tansy and
buttermilk that our grandmothers used
is again coming into favor. II the green
tansy can be got put handful of the
leaves In quart of buttermilk. Where
the dried tansy is used steep an ounce
Of the leaves in quart of hot, water.
After the water cools add pint of but
termilk.

stock company career, as far back as
1851.
Hundreds of the older residents of
the city remember her as she was In
those days of more than half q CEN
fury ago, and for many of these she
has been the only attraction that
would take them to the theaters dur
ing the last Is years. One Of these,
in commenting on the death of the
aged actress, said that while he did
not now approve of the theater as he
did in former years, he always made
an exception to his rule to remain
away from them when Mrs. Gilbert
these older residents, some of whom
had seen Mrs. Gilbert make her debut
in stock company work in 1851, at
Powers theater on the night of the
opening of her farewell engagement.
When she appeared before the curtain
at the close of the last act and recited
that old-fashioned epilogue which be-
gan with the lines:
Dear friends in front, the curtain must not
fall
Until grateful woman says good-by to all.
Just think of all the kindness that I've got
Of you!
I'd like to be the granny of the lot of you.
there was not dry eye among all
these old friends.
To the stage people, old and young,
Mrs. Gilbert was always Granny"
and they spoke of her with rever-
ence that showed their affection. She
had no blood relatives, the last of the
family, son, having died several
years ago, but she needed none to be
truly mourned, for hers was family
that extended throughout all the
broad field of stageland.
She was SO years old the 21st Of last
October, and had been on the stage
since 1946, when she appeared as a
ballet girl in England. She came to
America in 1s49, and though of inter-
national fame as an actress. this was
the first season that she played star
parts.

.MANNlSH WAYS A. MISTAKE.
Women Will Never Win Alteration
from Hen by Adopting n q
Them.

Women are never more largely and
gorgeously mistaken than when they
think that they make q winning with
men by trying to make imitation men
of themselves. The fallacy that men
pine for women to be little, brothers to
them has gained ground Of late and
found many adherents among women
who affect masculine sports, discuss
risque subjects, and endeavor to wipe
out the sex line Never was greater
folly. 1t is w0man's unlikeness to man,
the difference Of her point of view, that
makes all her charms and lends pi-
quancy to her society. If man wanted
the ideas of another man on a subject,
he would seek one who had been born
to the masculine estate, not one who
has merely understudied the role.
Men like what we cali the old-fash-
Toned virtues in women, says the Chi
cago Tribune. It is the fashion now for
women to be blase and cynical, but there
is no man so hardened that he does not
shudder away from hard woman. He
may never put his foot inside of a
church, but he wants a woman to be-
pious. He may disbelieve In everything
in heaven and earth. but he wants a
woman to have childlike faith in every
thing, and no matter how much he laughs
at her for her credulity, he loves her the
better for it. He may Judge the world
merciless1y, but he wants woman to
be full of tender and unreasoning SYM
pathy and pity. No man ever loved a
woman who did not cry, or who was not
tender to little children. orwho would not
give to a begsar and Investigate. his
needs afterwards. The girl who thinks
1t smart to sheer at domesticity and de-
clares that she will never debase her tai
'nts by learning to cook or sew; who
hates children and mocks at religion, no
matter how brilliant or beautiful she is,
does not attract men. -

Have You Learned Thesep

Some one has suggested - things that
every girl can learn before she is Is.
Not every girl can learn to play or sing
or paint we'll enough to give pleasure to
her friends, but the following "ac-
complishments" are within everybody's
reach: Shut the door, and shut softly.
Keep your room in tasteful order. Have
an hour for rising and rise. Learn to
make bread as well as cake. Never
let button stay OF "a hours. Always

q day pass without doing something to
make some one comfortable. Never

BENEFITS OF STRETCHING.
Physical Exercise of This Find Re.
neves Tension and Accelerates
:~n,1 ! Circulation ,..3..e. J.. s,.% ..ss&

A splendid thing for the body Is
stretching. When you first wake UP In
the morning take a good long stretch.
Stretch the hands as far out sideways
as possible. Then stretch them over
the head as far as you can reach and at
the same time stretch the feet downward
as lar as YOU can. Raise the feet and
stretch upward just as high as you can.
and then lower the feet and legs very
slowly: advises. Medical Talk for the:
Home
When you get out Of bed raise your
arms over your head and standing on
tiptoe see how near you can reach the
ceiling. Then walk about the room
while in this position. Stand on the
right foot and stretch the right arm for
ward and upward as high as you can,
while at the same time the left foot is
raised from the floor and stretched out
ward, and the left hand is stretched
backward and downward. This is fino
exercise for the whole body and is espe-
cially good for the waist and hips, maxi
ing them firm and strong. Standing on
the left foot this exercise can be re.
versed.
II you have been sitting in the same
position for long time reading, study:
ing, writing or sewing, and the muscles
have become tired and cramped, the best
thin to do is to get up and stretch.
Stretch the arms upward and outward
and forward and backward. Lift the
shoulders as high as you can and drop
them. Expand the chest and breathe
deeply. Or, sitting in the chair stretch
the hands upward, lift the feet from the
floor and sthetch them forward as far as
possible. Anyway SO YOU give the
muscles a good vigorous stretch.
When one is very tired there Is Moth
Ing more restful than stretching tho
muscles and then relaxing. Stretch the
arms, the legs, the whole body and then
completely relax. Stretching relieves
the tension of the body, gives strength
and tone to the muscles, accelerates the
circulation, and causes one to breathe
more deeply. Women who wear tight
corsets or tight bands cannot take these
stretching exercises while they have
on tnelr tight clothes. But at least the
first thing in the morning, or after I'M
dressing at night, they should give the
poor, corset-cramped muscles a good
stretch. II they would follow up these
stretching exercises every day. gradual
ly leaving off the corset, they would soon
have waist muscles strong and firm
enoush@7to hold *themselvesTup< without
the use Of the corset, and after they once
experience the Joy of free, strong body
they will not want to wear tight corsets
again.
When you wake up in the morning
try these stretching exercises. The
next time you are very tired see what
stretching will do for you II you do
not find that stretching will invigorate
and rest you. put strength and energy
into your body, We would like to know
about it.

bath, and nothing is so comforting OF
less trouble. &<ja, 49,
Usually the little 7housekeeper is too
poor or too frugal to patronize the :hair-
dresser, or to indulge In shampoo at a
dollar Or half q dollar at one Of the hair
dressing establishments. And SO, in an
irregular, of hand sort of way, she
washes" her hair when it is dirty" or
sticky For this wash" she uses any
soap that may happen to. be about the
house, rinses quickly and dries her hair
over the radiator. Such treatment will
kill the finest hair in = few years. i
You should decide upon a regular In
:erval for shampooingr your hair, and
you should shampoo it. If you have
very dry hair, do. not wash it oftener
than every three weeks, and you might
let it 60 for four weeks with prudence.
If your hair is oily you may indulge III
a shampoo every two weeks, but not
oftener. Some girls, during the rage
for fluffy hair, were in thehabit OF wash
ing their hair, once week or oftener.
a process which took all the natural life
and oil out OF the, finest locks and left
them dry, hard, dead, and ready to fall
out at the first sign Of i'll health. Use
for your shampoo good tar soap or a
plain CASTLE >soap-nothing else except
warm water. Do not make the bath
too hot, and do not put ammonia in It,
TO attempt to burn your hair out in this
way is fatal mistake. Scrub thorough
ly, rubbing the scalp well and washing
the hair as you would piece of cloth.
Above all, rinse the hair thoroughly In
warm water, and be sure that every
particle Of the soap is removed, so that
the pores are free to breathe. Dry the
hair in the air and the sun. Fan it, il
you like, and rub it with the towel. but
avoid the l1fe-killfng, hot air from the
radiator or the gas stove, If you do not
want to rot and ruin the best part of your
locks. s
Nearly half Of your life is spent 10
bed, and thus nearly half of your life
your hair is in tight ,pigtails and curl
papers. This is unfortunate for many
reasons. First of all, it keeps the scalp
from the air and Is not good for the
roots of the hair. Secondly, it would
drive the most devoted man to the other
woman or the uttermost parts of the
earth. Take quite as much pains as
you wouldsfor party. Do not attempt
to put It up -conventionally, but dress 1t
picturesquely. One of the prettiest nigh.
