IN SUMMER GIVE TIA REST FROM
ARTIFICIAL CURLING
Those at the Seashore Should Never
Allow the Salt Water to Remain
in the Hair-To Protect
the Skin.

Women intending to pass the sum-
mer or portion of it at the seashore
much be very careful of both skin and
hair. The salt OF wind and wave, as
well as the glare on the sandy beaches,
play havoc with the texture OF the
skin and the beauty of the hair.
Pounds and more pounds of the best
cold cream should be used on the
skin, and the sea water should never
be allowed to remain in the hair. 1t
is better to wear oil-skin caps and so
protect the head entirely, but with the
utmost precaution an occasional wet
ting occurs, and then the salt water
should be rinsed out as soon as pos
sible and the hair dried. A little salt
is good for the hair, but not the real
salt water of the sea; it leaves the
hair sticky and in time destroys its
gloss beyond restoring. Z
1t should be the rule to rest the
head from all, or as much as possible,
artificial dressings, and helps through
the hot months; no curling iron should
be used at all, for one reason that the
curl will not stay in, and another, that
the hair may have the rest it so much
needs from the constant dressing in
the whirl of the winter festivities.

Firm Flesh Well Carried Is Not IN
gainly-HoW to Reduce.

There is a wonderful new German
reduction method which calls for a
rubber blanket, in which the fat wom-
an is wrapped. Sometimes she is put
into a rubber suit. And with this
so tight that it both congresses and
sweats her she does her exercises.
The result is rapid loss of weight.
And particularly does this weight
around the belt line disappear, just
where it is the thickest and looks the
worst. Make the room quite hot and
go through simple course of gymnas-
tics, the most important of which is
the bending exercises. She can lie
fiat on the floor and elevate her feet.
She can stand and bend over. She
can lie upon the floor and lift one foot
and then the other.
The rope gymnastics are extremely
good. A rope is slipped over the foot
and the handles are held in the hand.
The rope is seesawed by the handles,
and the patient is strengthened as to
her back and broadened as to her
shoulders. The second of the rope
exercises is taken lying fiat upon the
back. The patient lies down, lifts one
foot, throws rope over it, and see
saws it, pulling the handles back and
forth. This is for the reduction of the
belt line proper. incidentally it devel-
ops the chest.

Ieus of Fowls.

It is well for the poultry raiser to
keep a close watch of the legs of his
fowls. If more would do this the
poultry would be saved attacks of the
insects that burrow under the scales
on the legs and produce what we call
"scaly legs" Often the trouble is not
realized till the pest has spread all
through the poultry yards and most
of the fowls are affected. Then some
of them have become so bad that it is
extremely difficult to cure them. If
they are taken in time, good bath
of the legs in kerosene emulsion or
some other insecticide may check the
invasion, as the insects will be ami
hilated. 1t is not uncommon to find
birds so badly affected that their legs
have become chalky and in some
places are bleeding from the attempts
of the fowls to pick off the parasites,
which evidently cause intolerable itch
ing. If the legs are as they should be
they will be smooth and glossy in ap-
pearance. no matter what their color
may be.

SETS RAT TRAP FOR HIS WIFE.
Pennsylvania Man Stops Leakage
From Pockets at Night.

Centerville, Pa.-Philip Rodney, a
prominent business man of this place,
discovered recently that his wife had
been taking spending money out Of
his trousers pockets while he slept.
He demonstrated with. her, but the
wifely piIfering continued, and seri.
Gus quarre1s followed.
The other night Rodney, determined
to break his wife of the practice, put
a small but strong rat trap in his
money pocket, with the jaws toward
the opening.
He was awakened shortly after mid
night by his wife's screams, and,
jumping out of bed, discovered her
hand tightly wedged in the jaws Of
the steel trap.
The woman begged to be released,
but Rodney allowed her to suffer for
awhile before freeing her. Her hand
was badly lacerated.
Mrs. Rodney left her husband the
next day and took up her residence
with her parents. She says she will
no longer live with him.

to call attention to the necessity Of
having plenty of pure fresh water and

or three times each day and the yes
