For the Thin Norman.

Sleep is quite as important as med
icine to the thin woman, and every
afternoon nap must be INDUCED in If
possible.
Even the relaxing Of the body by iy-
ing down, with the eyes closed and
with no thought of care, will do much
to quiet and soothe the nerves. While
1t is necessary that she should be out
in the air as much as possible, she
should always be suitably clad, for
colds have a disastrous effect upon the
thin woman.
Of course not every woman can take
the time to put flesh on her bones by
following this delightful regime, but
she can follow some of the directions
and if persistently adhered to will sure
~ attain to becoming plumpness of
face and figure.

Many Of the skirts are long, not

How They May Be Made Out OF Rem

nanCS For home Use.
After the sewing. season there are
always odd scraps left that are seem
ingly worthless, yet can be inexpen-
sively made up into dainty and useful
articles for decorating the home, if
one only knows how.
Take a square of white eiderdown. a
material likely to be on hand in any
house where there is a baby It is the
very thing to make into a carriage
roDe for spring and early summer use
The corners should be rounded off
and then all four sides bound with
strips Of wash silk, fine printed organ
dy or any other washable fabric.
Featherstitching in dainty color may
be added to this binding.
A second square of wash goods lin
ing the eiderdown will make a pretty
fresh looking robe and an agreeable
substitute for the heavy winter one.
Should the remnant of eiderdown be
a strip instead Of a square, it May be
fashioned into a cover for hot water
bottle. To make this bag cut two
oval shaped pieces, overhanded to-
gether-the raw edges-then bind with
wash ribbon or silk, setting 'on row
of featherstitching at the edge. About
one-half inch inside the edge the back
and front of the bag should be con-
nected with a second row of stitching
so that the cover can be more con-

Once having realized the existence
Of these half bags. half pockets and
appreciated their necessity, her next
step will be the acquisition of a set of
them-for of course she must have
one at least to match every summer

not far distant when the pockets will
be on sale in the stores, and then in

If she will only keep in mind a few
general rules, there need be no limit
to the variety which her taste and

Being eminently practical, her first
thought will be to procure material
that will not be harmed by frequent

They are inexpensive as we'll, for they
are made of the same material as the

tured jumper dress of linen in the old
fashioned buff shade.
The skirt is gored to the knees and
finished with a tucked founce. Be-
tween this and the skirt proper are set
two rows of lace between a band Of
linen, ornamented with whorls Of
white braid. The jumper, worn over a
guimpe of batiste and val insertions, is
made entirely of the lace in the most
extreme form of the Japanese idea,
and the surplice fronts are large. Loose
sleeves are banded with the linen, and
white cord ornaments hold the fronts

The hat is the popular cloche or bell
shape in neapolitan, trimmed with
white and yellow ostrich feathers and
yellow tea roses. Loops Of black vel

Home Rule.

Never tell child twice to do a
thing. See that he clearly understands
what he is told to do, and then if left
undone the act should be treated as
willful disobedience and punished as
such.
Never punish a child by stopping any
part of his food, shutting him In a
dark room or in any other way that
might injure his mind or body. The
humiliation Of being undressed and
put to bed seldom fails to bring the
culprit to proper frame of mind

Ounce Juice For the Skin.

Society girls in one of the Smartest
sets are experimenting with ounces
for beauty purposes. One of them
heard recently that the juice of that
comparatively rare fruit was excellent
for the complexion, and she communi-
Gated the information to her chums
without loss of time AS a natural
consequence a demand for ounces
Instantly became apparent in that part
of the city where the experimental
young persons live, and now their rel
atives are awaiting anxiously the re-
suits of the tests. It is not divulged
how the juice is to be taken, whether
internally or externally. Almost any
fruit is good for the complexion when
eaten, but it's question how far
and texture when applied from out
side. To the credit of the experiment
tiers, be it said they are not attempt
ing to spread the idea without wait
ing to try its effects on themselves.
Less considerate girls might be tempt
ed to have their acquaintance do the
experimenting, precisely as the selfish
young woman Of the neighborhood used
to have her shoes broken in by needy
friends If there's anything in the
idea, however, every woman who
thinks her complexion calls for i'm
provement is certain to test it for her
self. When it comes to heroism the
eternal feminine is on the spot, so long
as there Is a reasonable prospect of
beating the beauty doctor.

ing to Robinson Estate
FIREMEN HAVE A BUSY NIGHT
Department Is Called to Answer Three
Alarms in as Many Hours. but Lit
tie Damage Is Done-Morgan
Club House on Fire

The Kenosha fire department had
busy time of it Wednesday evening
and within three hours the depart,
ment answered to three calls. The
spirit of Halloween or else the spirit
of common deviltry seems to have
been abroad and there was one in
cendiary fire reported. This IRE was
IN barn on South street owned by
the Robinson estate and it is pretty
certain that some one touched a
match to some infamma BILE material In
the barn with the intent of burning
it. The barn had been used as a
storage place for boxes and most of
them were of pine and decidedly easy
to burn.
The call from the barn came lust
after 10 o'clock and when the firemen
reached the place the flames had
gained considerable Roadway. It was
necessary to use tank of chemicals
to extinguish the fire. The owners of
the property declare that there had
been no fre'of any kind in the barn
during the evening and that no one
had been in the barn after 6 O'Clock.
Several parties of boys were seen
hanging about the premises during
the early hours of the evening and it
is thought possible that they deliber-
ately went into the barn and set fire
to the boxes. The damage from the
fire was small but had the flames not
been discovered promptly the resi-
dence district on South street would
have been in grave danger.
Chief of the Fire Department Iser-
mann and the members of the police
force took up the matter this morn
ing az every effort is being made to
discover the identity of the men or
boys who started the fire in the barn.
This is the second incendiary fire in
Kenosha within a few months.
The other fires, on Wednesday night
were at the Morgan club house in the
harbor and at the home of Thomas
Dryer on South Oak street. The
roof of the Morgan club house had
been set on fire by sparks from a
chimney and the flames were extin-
guished without serious loss. The
fire at the Dryer home took place
just at O'Clock. One of the mem
bers of the family had gone into a
clothes closet with lamp and the
lamp had exploded. The flames burned
a large amountof clothing and badly
damaged the decorations of the house.
The loss on the clothing was about
$125, while the damage to the house
can be repaired for SIS. There was
no insurance.

HITS TEDDY BEARS
Archbishop Messmer Calls
Craze a Menace to Fu-
ture Generations
BAD EFFECT ON A CHILD

The Most Rev. Sebastian G. Mess
mer, archbishop of the Catholic dio.
cese of Milwaukee, believes the Teddy
bear craze is menace to future gen.
erations.
He expressed this opinion in an in
terview yesterday afternoon at Mil
waukee upon his return fromsa con-
firmation tour of a number of cities
and towns in the state.
'Teddy bears are taking the place
of dolls with the children-the future
fathers and mothers of the nation, -
the archbishop said. eff the sgrowth
of the fad continues, the dolls will
disappear altogether. l think dolls
domuch toward developing the mater
nal instinct in a child. Teddy bears
cannot do this. They can only in
cu1cate in the child mind a love for
animals that smothers the dormant
mother love.
The craze for the fuzzy little bruins
has spread to such an extent as to be
alarming, and the neutrality-suspicious.
that parents of children should guard
against a continued growths5of the
Teddy bear fad for the future welfare
of the nation. Even nowssmany chill
dren have discarded all theirs. dolls for
Teddy bears and upon their newer
pets they lavish all the care and at
tention they formerly gave to their in
animate babies.
Establishments at which Teddy
bears are sold have run short on their
supply time and again, but the de-
mand for more has been so insistent
that stocks are being continually re-
plenished. Many stores are giving
Teddy bears away with purchases.
Some of the theaters give them away
as souvenirs at women's matinees,
and the woman who can go home with
a Teddy bear in her arms is the envy
of all her acquaintances.
While it IS not proba BILE that Arch
bishop Messmer will issue a formal
edict against the Teddy bears, he has
no hesitancy in expressing his disap-
prevail of the extent to which the fad
is being carried.
