~ most curious bits of savage work
manship in the world.
The clothing. worn next to the skin, is
made by weaving Tor rather netting) by
hand web of coarse cords, twisted out OF
the husks of cocoanut, each cord being tied
into hard knot between each mesh.
The knots are crowded close together, and
thicken the cloth so that it would not be
easy to stab or cut through it; it also pro-
tects the legs against being torn by thorny
shrubs or scratched in clambering over the
sharp coral rocks.
But the main curiosity of this armor is the
cuirass, or chest and head protector, the like
of which is known nowhere else.
The woof, or substance Of the cloth, is of

but tightly twisted and tough. while the warp

Making an Ice Box
for the Baby's Milk

The Importance of properly preparing
baby's food was told in detail last week.
All careful work will go for nothing and
the milk will spoil If 1t is not kept cold
at temperature Of at least so degrees
Fahrenheit. To keep the milk at this de-
gree of GOODNESS it must be on ice. Now.
TO put milk on ice does not necessarily
mean that a costly ice chest must be
bought. for if a woman is ingenious she
can easily construct simple but pra ctical
refrigerator from a soap box that will
keep five-cent piece of ice for twenty
four hours. thus insurng the sweetness
of babys milk.
In fitting out such a home made ice
chest wooden pail could be set in a
soap box, and the box then filled with
sawdust. In the pail is placed a thin
bucket. large enough to holu the ice. This
receptacle should have a cover. and when
packed with ice should be surrounded by
bottles of milk put in the wooden pail.
The whole must then be covered with a
newspaper, over which should be spread
piece of bagging or carpet bottle
may be taken out only as 1t is required.
Nothing else should be kept In this, and
milk bottles should not be removed until
the infants need them.
Treatment Of Milk.
AS to the care of milk-as soon as it
has been modified 1t should be put into a
cold place. 1t may, however. stand until
the first intense heat has evaporated. the
bottles. of course, being corked. While
still warm, and before the germ-laden at
mosphere can begin to affect the liquid,
the bottles must be put into the cold
storage box.
Though baby's milk is kept constantly
cold, it Is not to be given to him chilled.
Nothing would sooner bring on a dis
eased condition of the bowels. Instead.
this food must be Just at blood heat.
This temperature is secured by putting
the bottles into hot water. The original
corks should not be taken out until the
rubber nipples are ready to be slipped
into their places.
If baby has the slightest tendency to-
ward indigestion when the weather is
warm. and he is being fed on milk. his
food should be pasteurized. This process
of sterilization should be done to all milk
fed an infant until he is a year old, and
even older
Less Nourishment in Summer.

The objections are made by counsel for

daughter of the testator, and wife OF
Jean Guillemin, counsel to the French

Mr. Hart left an estate valued at sew

Italian girl, as his daughter, and soon
afterward separated from his wife de

How to Gather Glover.
The Value of crest"
to Weary Womankind.

Rest is a sealed mystery to many wom-
Ell. To be sure, with the infinite number
| of duties that they must attend to through
the day, there is little chance to devote
much time to it's development. Yet the
very fact that intervals of doing nothing
are short and few is the more reason
| that woman should know how to get
| the most from them.
| Rest is not merely doing nothing with
the hands and keeping the feet still. AL
, most the greater part of 1t is in relaxing
| the nerves and mind. When one can do
this good looks and life will be prolonged.
and the temper will be vastly improved,
| for nervous exhaustion is the cause OF
many quick word better left unspoken.
| To achieve the desired end, relaxation,
quiet and dull light are absolutely es-
sential. 1t is perfectly useless for wom-
an to lie down in brightly lighted
ROOM for though she may feel physically
at ease. the nerves of the eyes have a
strain. or rather lack soothing conditions.
and they, in turn. affect other nerves,
making real rest impossible.
If, for any reason, the room cannot be
da rkened the same effect is gained by
folding a black silk handkerchief and lay
method among experienced campers, who
in this way keep the first ray of dawn
that brightens the tent from preventing
further slumbers.
1t is difficult and next to impossible
for a mother with household of chill
dren to have entire quiet, but she can
usually take one hour each day, in which
the children do not play close to the
house, or if the weather is bad and they
must be indoors. they can be forbidden
to go near the room in which she is rest
ing.
When trying to rest it should be remem-
bered that no constructing garments can
be worn. If necessary, the time for
rest had better be shortened, while the
tight clothing is removed and put on
again. for thus more benefit will be
gained
Treatment in Warm Weather.
In warm weather little preliminary
treatment Of the skin, such as wipng with
a moist cloth, is helpful in quoting over
wrought nerves. This process, too trivial
to be dignified by the name Of bathing
consists Of putting a few drops of alcohol
ON the wrists, over the pulse, while the
face is wiped in the same way, giving Spe-
cial attention to the temples and throat
Before trying to sleep. the thinnest and
loosest of dressing gowns should be Slip
ped on. and the neck left open.
Elaborate though these preparations
may sound. they take but a few moments,
and once done give so much comfort that
they will not be omitted often. If rest is
to be taken on couch 1t is well to cover
it first with a sheet, for in this way the
surface is kept cool.
A woman who has reduced relaxation to
a science lies down on the floor in ex-
tremely hot weather. Under her body she
spreads a sheet on a portion of the floor
where she will feel every breeze. Her pill

CLEVELAND. Ohio, July a.-Because
her husband was angry at her demands
for ice cream, even carrying into police
court his insistence that she was an lice
cream fiend" and deserved his abuse, Mrs.
Joseph Smok today was relieved of the
presence of Joseph about the place for

Mrs. Smok had her husband arrested

less she is eating ice cream, and she

White clover scent is easily obtained by

enormous quantities should be picked, be-

There is no difficulty for novice in
growing things to distinguish sweet
clover. for it grows tall and rank, with
thick stems on which are small leaves.
At the top are the flowers. very tiny white
blossoms grouped together in a long
spike. The leaves as well as the flowers
are sweet when dried. but the thick stems
should be rejected. The best way to

Beware The Comma.

If SO. beware; for the lowly punctuation
mark, for all its dropping. humble aspect,
has vast possibilities of mischief and is
mockcry OF the writer's Ideas.
TIL commas field of greatest activity
is the law. In the history of Illinois at
least one statute has been overthrow be-
cause the printer, or the proofreader, or
some shrewd politician slipped in a comma
where none was intended, and so ruined
the whole statute. Nor is this state alone
in its experience with the diminutive pune
tuation marks mischief making proclivi-
ties. No less dignifed a statute than a
tariff law has been made the sport Of
this Innocent appearing mark. The law
in question contained a clause intended
TO read "fruit-plants, etc." but the printer
substituted a comma for the hyphen, and
thereby placed fruit on the free list.
The whole asphalt imbroglio may be said
to rest upon a punctuation mark a dec!-
NAL point this time. When, way back
in 1883, the first asphalt concession was
asphalt deposits as $50 instead of 1.D me-
ters above the sea, and this mistake sup
piled the Venezuelan courts with an ex-
cuse for revoking the concession.
Clearly, 1t behooves the wisest among
us to keep a watchful eye on the comma
and it's relatives of the punctuation fam
lily. When in doubt use a period-and
stop.

WOMEN SHOULD NOT
NEGLECT THEIR FEET

Alcohol Is Excellent-Keep

There is no more common and per-
sistent neglect tina that which the
great majority of men and women give
to the feet. No other part of h body.
says Health. suffers so much abuse and
distortion with perhaps the exception
of the waists of grown women. The
feet are susceptible to all sorts of de-
formities and the subject of all sorts
Of neglect.
Many people do not battle them sufi-
GENTLY often. do not change their
stockings With sufficient frequency. and
10 not care for them in other ways as
.hey should.
The soldier who cares for his feet is
the one who holds out on the march,
and many foreign armies have doc
tors who sec that the men care for
their feet. The dead skin which hard
ems and produces callous spots needs
to be removed twice a day ii the feet
perspire freely.
To rub the feet with alcohol re-
freshes them wonderfully, and nothing
is AS good for them as a vigorous alco-
hoI rub after they have been we or
chilled.
A rub with cocoa butter is a fine
thing for the feet at all times. Get a
cake of this and give then, a five min
ute rub at least once a week after the
