Women Careless About Matches.

Watchmakers say it's amazing wo-
men have timepieces that go at all,
in view of the fact that about five wo-
men in a hundred remember to wind
their watches at the proper time. The
average woman looks on the winding
of a watch either as a ceremony to e
performed only on gala days, or as a
pastime that will do well enough as
a stop-gap for idle moments. but not
be permitted to interfere with the
serious things Of life. OF course, this
criticism does not apply to business
women. But a woman who has no
occupation and who is not a motorist
is unlikely to be conscientious about
winding her watch. The explanation
probably is that she doesn't wear it
every daY. A man looks on a watch
as a constant companion. and. If he
is fortunate enough to possess a good
one. also as a faithful servant. To a
woman. a watch is much like a chap
eron. utterly useless at most times.
used only as a concession to conven-
tionality at others. She generally
leaves it in her jewel casket or in a
drawer Of her dressing table. Some
times even a costly timepiece is left
carelessly for weeks at a stretch on
the dressing table instead of in it.
When it occurs to her to wind it. she
either gives the stem q few half
hearted turns and let's it go at that
or else winds so furiously that soon
there is an ominous click and she
takes it to a matchmaker only to learn
she has overwound it. A watch must
be wound regularly if It is to remain
in good condition. and 1t should be
wound to precisely the same extent
never the full extent. every day.

Nerve Exhaustion
The first thing to be done FOR a per-
son suffering from nerve exhaustion is
to adopt a dietary and habit OF life
that will rebuild the nerve cells. The
lost energy must be gently and slowly
"coaXed" back-not through medicines,
but through proper environment proper
employment and proper food. The die
tary should be simple and nutritious,
abounding in lettuce, parsley and the

Reciprocity

The real meaning of the word is to
"give and return mutually" If everyone
in Wilmington believed in and practiced
reciprocity in their dealings with Will
mington merchants, Wilmington would
be one of the leading cities of the United
States. Her stores would be among the
largest in the world; her boundaries
would be the water front on the one side
and the State line on the other sides.
Why not begin to-day to help the men
who are striving to make this city
pleasant place to live in, by doing all your
buying in Wilmington
Every little bit helps.
