Drinking at Meals

n N OST physicians today will tell M you never to take any liquid. and least of all water. during meals There are. however. two sides to the question.
 Those with a tendency to gout or other diseases arising from excess or uric acid should avoid liquids until two hours. at least. after eating.
 For those without such tendency there Is no harm in drinking a mod crate amount at the end of the meal.
 There is, therefore. sound reason back of the custom of keeping the coffee for the last course. Even when this prandial drinking is permissible. one should avoid excess. A little cold water held in the mouth is often just as refreshing as if gallons of the liquid had been consumed.
 The great American fault-or one or them-is the consumption of enor- nous quantities of ice water, which is really deadly beverage and not it for civilized man to drink-I en- phasize the civilized" for no savage would do anything so stupid as to chill and paralyze the muscles of his stomach in the belief that he is cool ing his skin.
 The rules, then, are: A little water if you are healthy and your stom- ach is normal, not too cold, and taken at the end of the meal And thus will you avoid the countless ills to which most drinkers during meals are heir.

Flowers in Sick Rooms

IN SENDING flowers to an invalid.
 great discrimination must be | practiced. In the first place. be careful not to cause any extra work to the already overburdened family.
 For this reason. growing plants arc undesirable. and. besides. while the old idea that they harmed the sick one by remaining in the room over night Is only a superstition. 1t is true that the invalid may easily harm them. especially if they are much handled.
 In the second place. do not send flowers having a very pronounced or sickening odor. Tuberoses are thus distinctly barred. as are other flowers of their class.
 Thirdly. avoid violent color con- trasts- The nervous system Is al- ways slightly deranged and the per- captions unduly sharpened in seri- ous illness and the contrast of vivid reds and pinks and yeliows may be disagreeable to the patient. Choose. instead. delicate Pinks, soft creams. or light blue, blues. On the other hand. nS ssSa oher n,fe eSsss nor an abundance of unrelieved white flowers of any kind. You might just At Rest" for the effect 1t will have upon the recipient of your mistaken kindness.
 The sick are often inclined to bs morbid. and nothing but cheerful sug- gestions should be presented to their imagfnations. Finally, prefer the un- that many besides yourself will send roses and carnations and violets. The little bunch of ragged robins or the will be a thousand times more ao- preciated. op
 And best of all will be the butter- cups or the homely black eyed Susans which tell. perhaps, of a far-ofr happy home or dear one loved and gone.

Gloves in Summer

~ONTRARY to the usual impress
 sion, neither common sense nor 0 fashion-here for the first time synonymous-demand that gloves DC worn on informal occasions during the hot days of summer. Of course, for all such events as teas. card parties, etc.. and for evening they are indispensable whatever the thermometer may say. By the business woman. however. or even by the busy shopper. they may easily be discarded.
 As a matter of fact. most women nowadays carry gloves instead or wear ing them in July and August. This practice is to be condemned. Not only Is it a sign of inherent vulgarity and "parvenuism'-a sort of Look. l own a pair of gloves display as 1t were but it spells the shape of the gioves' and the heat and precipitation from the hand often render them unfit for fur ther wear
 If you feel that you cannot be a gen. tlewoman and still be gloveless. get as light weight a variety as possible. and do not make yourself miserable with heavy kid or chamois in the dog days.
 Recently the writer inquired at the glove counter of large city depart ment store if channels gloves were much sold in summer. "Oh, yes,' was the re- ply. flor they're very stylish this year; but nobody wears them much-they carry them to show they know the fashions!'
 economies, we would be pleased to find out the value of buying an expensive article of adornment-for they are iit- lie more in summer. except in such very iiSht materials as silk and suede lisle- for exactly the same reason which in duces the shrike to embellish his nest with bits of silk, wool and other scraps -barbaric and instinctive love of gaudy decoration.

the joy of camp life lost if she Is out of a tent.
 If the camping is but an experiment. 1t is perhaps well for the first season to rent the tents. There should be. in addi- ton to those used for sleeping. one for a general living room. and small, cheap one for a kitchen on rainy days. As it costs almost the third of the price of a tent to rent it. and as the fascina- tions of camp life are certain, It IS better to buy the tents in common.
 One large enough to hold four cots comfortably can be had for So5o; larger one, 91axl2 feet. which can ac- commodate six cots. will cost sl3. These two tents Ohe smaller to be used for living room). will average just about $3.75 to each girl of a party Of SIX, ana tho outlay once made. they will last for years. A light, cheap tent. to be utilized as kitchen costs from s to S6 more.
 should the girls have to put up their own tents, it can be done most easily by fitting the ridge pole first into the top of the canvas. Then set up the end poles, and. while two girls hold them, let the others measure off the distance for the stakes The tautness of the roof depends entirely upon where those stakes go. Fasten the ropes down we'll

A Novel BlOtter

A PRETTY combination blotter Is A made as follows: Tie three ordi- nary. rather large blotters to- gether by piercing through one corner and running in bow of baby" ribbon. Then on the outside paste one of the small. unmounted penny calendars and a postal view.
 At first blush, there seems nothing especially novel or attractive about this combination. but it's variations are man. fold. It is pretty in school or college colors. both blotters and ribbon par taking of the shades. In this case the postal may represent one of the college buildings. At Christmas, 1t Is charm ing all in red and green. and at Easter in green and white.
 If one buys the large blotters. and cuts them ones self. the cost for twenty blotters averages cents apiece. They are extremely easy to make. and. while serving the place of printed card, are much more personal in their appeal
 If one wishes, one may draw or paint around the edge of the blotter simple decorative border. and on the postal write the name of the g1Ver and the date.
 An odd use to which they may be put is to send them as invitations. writing name date time and address on the postal For two dollars one may make. stamp and wrap twenty-five of these-- an average cost of cents apiece for all expenditures-surely little enough!

merry time they have of it. too, but 1t is quite as customary for girls to 20 away for a period of tent life with out a man in the party. In such cases, naturally, they are accompanied by one or more older women. In no event should girls or very young women omit to take a chaperon with them on their outing
 Necessarily, when girls camp alone their arrangements are quite different than when men are along. In nothing ia this more felt than in the choice Of . camping ground. They shoulu hol select the rough, out-of the world spots fin the heart of the woods. in which 'he soul of the true camper rejolces' HOW ever "advanced' is modern wohiai- hood, it is not yet proof agalhst the terrors of a night in the open.

home. Have nothing more elaborate than white duck skirts and shirtwaists for "dress-up" occasions. and dark skirts, and blouses for rougting it. Re- member. though one can take along seIf-heating irons and improved wash- boards. we do not go camping to do any but absolutely necessary laundry work. Plenty of fresh stocks and cuns will keep a dark waist fresh looking and cause little work.
 A light corduroy skirt, Norfolk jacket and leggings are admirable for camping. A sweater must be taken, by all means: : also high boots and rubbers. A poncho will also come in useful or rainy days. when the tents are stuffy and one wish es to defy the weather. This Is nothing more than a large circular piece of rub Der that clasps about the neck.

ceilent for transparent stocks while the celluloid ones show even less, These latter should have loops sewed on the inside of the collar. through which they may be slipped. They can thus be removed for laundering.
 The soft, tailored stock and ascots are. Of course. not boned. These, to be kept up by starching. require greater stiffness than is comfortable or fashion able. Many women overcome this dif- ficulty by slipping a curved piece of eel luloid inside the stock just under the chin.> A rather heavy visiting card will answer the same purpose.
 FOR TRAVELLING
 The made black or white moire as- cots, which are so useful for travelling, are shaped so as just to nt comfort ably under the chin. shaping up about aA inch to the back, where the edges just meet. The cross-pieces are cut to fit these ends, diminishing to half-inch at the front, where they hook beneath the puff The stock part has an inter- lining of thin flannel as in mems ties. and is lined with white liberty satin or other soft silk. Cut the lining the same shape as the silk. baste on smoothly. turn in the edges and blind stitch.
 The puff is cut from a straight piece of moire two and one-half inches wida and five-eighths or yard long, The lin- ing extends only from the top of the pointed ends. and should be about an eighth of an inch narrower on the out side. The upper part is held in place by being sewed to a covered wedge of can- vas on stiff cardboard.
 The ascot tie is not usually boned. though some women add one at the back. It is generally worn with a straight stiff linen turnover. which may be fastened to the three buttons sewed on the inside of the stock close to the top. This keeps the stock from sagging and breaking. if it has been correctly cut under the chin.
 Other silk stocks are stiffened, as are the lingerie ones, except the bones ar& covered by the lining instead of showing through.

girls go a-camping just for the sport and health of 1t. Allow yourselves comforts as many of them as you have room, time and money for.
 In the first place. though one can rpend a reposeful night in sleeping-oags on the piny ground. or on blanket covered straw, 1t is more comfortable, II less romantic. to have easy cots or bunks Sleeping under the stars Is mysteriously poetic when the stars stay out. but what of the nights when the cold wind doth blow and torrents oe- scend Then are the Tapping of canvas and the pelting of driving rain on taut roof not to be despised.

It is convenient. too. in case of sic3- ness. to have one of the bottles in which water may be kept at auboiling temper ature for twenty-four hours. This bottle is equally useful to fill with hot coffee or cold lemonade. should the campers decide on an all-day jaunt.
 In order to decrease tho amount of luggage. arrange beforehand what each one of the party shall bring. that there need be no duplicates. One well-eauip- ped sewing basket. for instance. will do for the entire party.

 This fire, by the way. should never be lighted very near the tent. as 'he danger from sparks is too great
 A convenient kitchen arrangement. II there is no regular tent for coc.tlng, IS to have a bench fitting against one of the sides of the tent on which dlshes may be washed and all the cooking para phernalia kept There should be good- ly supply of dish towels and dish rags. If the latter are forgotten, however. good substitute may be found by ray ing out manila rope into mop.

Other furnishings for the camp are en- tirely matter of individual preference. If any of the party is intensely syba- ritic, one of the bed-hammocks. which are so comfortable with their filled mattresses. is ideal for an afternoon siesta. A folding steamer chair camp stool costs but a dollar. and is spieh- did loafing place on & hot day.
 The food supply depends entirely on the accessibility of the camp. If within buying distance of eggs. milk. butter and fresh vegetables the problem is much simplified. In this event take such things as flour. sugar. spices. baking powder, canned soups and meats of you eat them). and plenty of pretzels. lemons and soft drinks. such as ginger ale.

 In the matter of bones, there Is a number of kinds on the market. most of which are fairly good. Choose those that are thin and piiable. and turn in the end coverings securely.

The thought of recre- ation or pleasure was as far from them as 1t would be from us. if our camping were to know such pleasant little accessories as proving redmen or growing beasts of prey.
 Fortunately, a girls lot is different these days-freer, at least. if not hap pier. Girls do go camping now for the pure enjoyment of it; and what's more, they go "all by their ownselfs," as the babies put 1t.

MARKET STILL GOING DOWNWARD
Week Ends With Market Very Dull Bearish Feeling Still Exists and the Prices May Sag Lower-General Busi- ness, However, Continues Good.
lBy 1. N. Kinseyl

GLOBE, April l3.--Gates of New York says: The week ends with liquid. ation still under way and considerable bear pressure on prices all along the line. Bank statement distinctly figured in operation of the week. Downward trend seems to have good strong i'm. pulse. We rather expect prices to be still lower on Monday. General busi- ness appears to continu etc be good but Wall street certainly does not re- fleet it at this moment.
 Paine of Boston says: The continued bearish feeling and disappointing bank statement caused considerably lower market through the list today. Mar ket seems to be left entirely at the mercy of the bears and prices of cop per shares will gradually sag until metal market becomes more clear. AS we have told you several times, market for copper is very dull at present and con sumers are practically provided for un- til July. Producers are also sold well ahead and the low price quoted for the metal is purely imaginary and does not represent any actual transaction. We are still bearish on the market and think prices will sag three to five points lower
