ton. Try them. They are among the
best l know. (But remember that
mental concentration must be used
also in all other athletic practice.)
Stand facing the wall of your rom,
a few feet distant from it. Put the
right foot forward, throwing the
weight of the body on it, drawing in a
full breath as you do so. Place the
right hand on the wall in front of you,
at the most convenient level (nearer
the height of the shoulder than the
height Of the waist), and, bracing
yourself, push. Push as though you
were trying to push the wall down.
This must not be done jerkily, nor, on
the other hand, too slowly. Then,
bringing back the right foot, and bring
ing the body again to an upright pos
ture, bring forward the left foot and
place the left hand on the wall instead
of the right. Push again as before.
Recover your upright posture, let out
the long breath slowly, draw in an
other and repeat the performance. be-
ginning again, of course, with the
right hand and right foot.
Do this six times the first day, in
creasing at the rate of two per day un-
til you get it up to twelve. Now,
when pushing, every single muscle of
the body must be at work. Push as
though you felt that the wall would
topple over on you unless you pushed
1t back. That is the on1v wav in which
this splendid exercise can do you my
good. If you are going to let your
mind wander to any other subject you
might as well not push at all. Done
with mental concentration, this is per-
haps the best exercise for all the mus
cles.
Now here is another mental con-
centration exercise" for developing
the grip, the wrist and the forearm.

For instance, a camphor bath Is a
joy. 1t is made from an ounce of the
~tincture mixed with half an ounce Of
tincture of benzoin and two ounces of
cologne or pure alcohol.
The whole compound is then poured
into a tub of warm water just before
one steps into the bath. This is not
to be used as a cleansing bath, with
soap.
Instead, the person should lie at full

a bath al this may be taken without
danger Of contracting cold, II going
out Of doors Immediately afterward.
Pine baths are highly commended
and for those persons who are suffi-
ciently fortunate to live in a region
where the trees grow this luxury costs
almost nothing. For such a bath Nor
way pine is an excellent substitute.
For the latter the needles should be
gathered fresh from the trees, for
those on the ground have little nour-
ishment left.
To make this pine tonic a gallon
kettle should be filled, the green being
stripped from the twigs and packed
down hard. Over this a quart of boil
ing water Is poured. the kettle is GOV
cred and placed where the water will
simmer, but o boil. 1t should cook
thus for at least six hours, and then
stand over night. In the morning
the water is strained of and the So
luton is ready to be used. There
should be little less than a quart Of
liquid.
This alone may be poured into a
bath, but II an ounce of tincture of
benzoin is added it will increase its
virtues.
A herb bath is luxurious without be-
ing expensive. To have it, mix an
ounce each of dried thyme, rosemary,
mallows and linden with an ounce and
a half of ~bicarbonate of soda. Over
this pour a gallon Of water and cover
the kettle. 1t should stand over night.
In the morning strain the liquid. A
quart of the mixture is sufficient for a
bath.
Daily immersion in something of
this sort will greatly improve the COM
plexion. If the temperature is hot,
excessive perspiration is induced, and
the pores are enabled to throw off i'm
purities that clog them and thicken
the complexion. Rubbing afterward
with a coarse towel stimulates circu-
lation to a desirable extent, and a
beauty treatment is had at little cost
If taken before going to bed any of
these baths is likely to induce sleep.

When the bowl is warm place in it a

Then add gradually, taking care to

Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy
began to break out with itching sores.
1 doctored him, but as soon as l got
them healed up in M place they
would break out in another. l was
almost in despair. 1 could not get
anything that would help him. Then
l began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, and after using them
three times, the sores commenced to
heal. He is now well, and not a seal
is left on his body. They have never
returned nor left him with bad blood,
as one would think. Cuticura Rene
dies are the best l have yer tried,
and l shall highly recommend them to
any who is suffering likewise.

TRIMMINGS in STYLE,

All kinds of embroidery and braid
ing show no signs of being set aside
because of their long and strenuous
reign. Some of the newest and most
attractive street toilettes from Europe
show elaborate handwOrk.
Both braiding and coarse embroid-
cry done in self-toned silks continue
to be united as frequently as ever.
Braid is also being used alone in the
capacity of bindings for the seams and
edges of tailored coats. And along
with fine mohair braids that finish
worsted suits, matching them in color,
comes the wide use of black braid on
shepherds plaid.
A few years back there was a fren-
zied fashion for this combination, and
every woman, whether or not shep-
herds plaid was becoming to her,
owned a street suit of small or large
black and white checks, trimmed with
black braid.

CARING FOR DISH CLOTHS.
How One Young Housekeeper Solved
Kitchen Problem.

Dish rags are the great difficulty that
beset the careful housekeeper in her
efforts to keep a clean and tidy kitch-
en-. They are drying on the hook and
hanging on the sink, and somehow a
towel used for pots and pans Is always
damp. Then time must be taken from
the general work to wash them out
and dry them, and altogether they are
most extremely annoying.
All these things and more, too, were
discovered by q careful young house
keeper, so she arranged to have a dish
In the outer kitchen filled with good
clear water and some washing soda,
and into this mixture the cloths were
dropped Immediately after using and
there they were left till evening, when
they were hung up where they might
dry over night.
OF course, enough towels must be on
hand, so hat the same one need not
be used more than once a day, but
at least they are always clean and the
kitchen is always in order.

ward as If trying to raise some heavy

Press the hands upward slowly and

no necessary to use dumb-bells, clubs

Should you belong to a gymnasium

age heavy dumb-bells or clubs, and
hauling at chest weights full to the
top of the compartments with iron or
lead weights. The poor boys thought
they were getting strong quickly in
this fashion. AS a matter of fact they
were merely overworking-an utterly
different thing. They were straining
every muscle and every organ of the
body, straining and weakening them
to no advantage.
1t is a strong temptation, l know, to
the ambitious boy-athlete to he able to
handle heavier weights than his op-
p%onents can manage.
When 1 was 1T saw for the first

PREPARATION OF GOOD SOUP.
Care In Making the Stock Is the First
Essential.

No matter how plain and simple a
dinner may be soup adds to it. Poor
soup Is often served because too little
attention is paid to It. First OF all
there must be good material to start
with. Cold water should always be
used where meat Is cooked, in order
to draw out the juice. Salt must
never be added until the soup is done.
Soup should SHINES on the back OF
the stove instead Of boiling rapidly.
When the meat is well cooked, strain.
add salt and set in a cold place. Skim
off all grease from the surface the
next day and the stock is ready for
use. Clear soups are never considered
as wholesome as others. There are q
great variety of vegetable, meat and
cream soups which are appetizing.
Cream of tomato, celery and aspara'
gus, are particularly good.
A soup kettle where every bone or
scrap of meat left over, Is thrown, is
considered very essential in many
households, especially where soup is
served every day. One Or two table
spoonfuls of cold boiled rice is ar ad-
dition to any ordinary soup, especial
ly chicken or mutton broth. Be care
full that the soup is never greasy. If
the stock stands over night all bits of
grease can be removed. A cupful of
tomatoes favors a soup made of stock.
In making good soup bay leaves, eel.
cry, parsley, carrots, onions, whole
cloves and other herbs or vegetables
are excellent for 1avoring. Beans
and peas make delicious soup. An tx
cellent stock for soup is made by
cooking a knuckle of veal and a beef
bone in cold water with six potatoes,
five carrots, and four tiny onions on
the back of the stove for a day or
longer, then strain and set away.

Now that the tea table has become

ings ways and means have to be con-
sidered, when space is limited, in or

to give up having a regulation tea
table, yet in country houses and small
apartments a substitute sometimes has

tice. Unless one has perfectly trained
servants and a number of them the tea
table is apt to be neglected. 1t should
be kept fresh and dainty all the time.
If the tea cabinet has a position in
the sitting o or library, then it
may fulfill the office of a book shelf or
magazine rack. The top may be piled
with handsome volumes, while the cur
tanned interior may be used for the tea
things. 1t makes an excellent place
for magazines, keeps them separate
from the books, and one always knows
where to find them.
A part Of the curtained section NAV
be converted into a bookcase by hav-
ing partitions put down the sides, Civ
ing the space in the center to the tea
set and that at either side to small
books. In this case the top is left for
any use or decoration one likes. 1t

Thin silk or c%retonne curtains give
an effective finish. These should match
the furnishings Of the room. Where
the cabinet stands in a country house

or living room something darker is
more desirable. Exquisite shadinys,
like old tapestries, are to be found
among the newest c%retonne and cot
