Help For the HELPLESS.

1t is sesiously proposed by a great
magazine with a bright cover and part
of it's reading matter to match to es-
tablish a lobby to look after congress
next winter and see that it does not
do things calculated to outrage the fms
and lovable common people.
While it is true that the price Of lib
erty has not been put on the bargain
counter, eternal vigilance still being
the cost mark, yet it does seem as
though a representative government
could protect itself in a much simpler
way.
When selecting the membership of
the next congress, why not pass up all
who would steal sheep? Surely all OF
the sheep in the land have not been
stolen, and they may be needed at
home. BY some such simple plan VIC
might be able to get good results with
out all of the trouble of taking up Q
collection to pay the lobby.

SLEEVE TALK.
Short Sleeves For Young and Pretty
Women.


A famous French man dressmaker,
one Of those wonderful personages who
decide the styles for the coming sea
son, has this to say about the winter
sleeves:
Young women and all beautiful wo-
men will wear the short sleeves. The
long sleeve will be left to those women
whose physical pecuiiarities are such
that it is not becoming or to elderly
women who cannot stand the weather.
But all young women who aim at
smartness will wear the elbow sleeve,
which will be much pulled at the shout
der.
1--WE are making our very new
sleeves pulled at the shoulder in ex-
ceedingly large puffs which extend al
most to the elbow. They are trimmed
at the elbow with lace in the form of
two or three ruffies.
There are long sleeves, but these
are of very thin material and are
crumpled from the elbow to the wrist
They are very full, and they are finish
ed at the wrist with a very little jew
eled trimming.

BEAUTY HINTS.
Deep Yawning n Cheap, Sure Road
to Health.

Deep Tawning a Cheap, Sure Road
to Health.
Deep yawning practiced as regular
exercise is the cheapest and surest road
to perfect health. We are all familiar
with the theory that systematic deep
breathing is an excellent thing for the
lungs and 1t is on similar grounds that
yawning is recommended. The expan-
sion Of the breast bones and the
stretching of the arms which accom-
pany whole hearted yawn, together
with the filling of the lungs. form a
splendid daily exercise.
Good Shampoo.
If full benefit from a good shampoo is
desired never dress the hair until quite
dry, and never go out with it damp. 1t
will be better to take the shampoo at
night than to risk a severe cold in the
head from wind blowing on wet hair.
While still slightly damp the hair may
be tightly braided at night and left
hanging. in the morning, when combed
out, it will be beautifully waved and
entirely dry. Once in six weeks is real
ly often enough to give the head such a
shampoo unless extremely oily; then
once a month. Go over the head with
toothbrush and clear water between
whites, using a dry towel to wipe tie
scalp.
Remedy For Leg Cramp.
To those who suffer during the night
with that painful complaint, cramp in
the leg, the following hint will be use
full: When the cramp comes on take a
good, strong string-a long garter will
do-wind it around the leg over the
place that is affected, and take an end
in each hand and give it sharp pull,
one that will hurt a little Instantly the
cramp will depart, and the sufferer can
i return to bed assured that 1t will not
/ come again that night.
If you are afflicted with a red nose
and the trouble is only superficial ap-
/ ply, night and morning, a mixture of
| glycerin and fannie acid. twenty
/ grains of the latter to an ounce of the
former.
In sickness, when disinfectants are
needed in sinks and basins, use car
boIc acid. allowing four tablespoonfuls
to each pint of cold water. Pour down
the pipes, and let it remain half an
hour before flushing.
For a good mouth wash take an
ounce of camphor and add two ounces
of spirits Of wine Use few drops in
half a tumbler Of water.
