Importance of Neallaees.

To leave home without putting into
the bag or the trunk negligee of some
sort would be to court all sorts of dis
comfort, for after an exceptionally long
run every woman needs the relaxation
of her kimono and her slippers. There
are innumerable soft, noncrushable
fabrics of which negligees may be
made, but none prettier than the chal-
lies in Persian patterns or the thin
c4shmeres trimmed with wash rib
bons. Some tourists. however, rely
upon matinee jackets matching their
silk petticoat, and these, of course, re-
quire the minimum of space and an.

NEED OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE.
No Woman Can Long Neglect It, and
Retain Beauty.

The woman who says she has mot
time" for exercise is usually the one
who most requires it. She who sits in
an office or stands behind a counter
must have certain aids, such as rest,
diversions of proper kind, exercise
and diet, to maintain health, and 1t Is
by adjusting these sanely that balance
is kept.
1t is a mistake to think that because
one walks during the day or does
housework, ETC., sufficient exercise Is
that only one kind of work is done,
and necessarily others must be de-
veloped to keep the strength.
Then again, unless the mind is re-
laxed any kind of physical exercise is
valueless. For instance, 20 minutes
walk in the air should be taken at
some time each day by any woman
who does not wish to lose her COM
plexion and freshness in early youth.
To breathe deeply while walking is
not only to increase the benefit of the
outing, but trains the lungs to expand
to healthfulness, and greatly improves
the figure by filling out hollows in the
neck or preventing them. If it is done
at this time 1t will soon become a
habit. An excellent way of beginning
is to inhale slowly while taking six
steps. BY the seventh step exhaling
should begin, taking the time OF six
more steps for it. This is simple, but
worth trying.-Chicago American.

Clean BATHING.

1t is necessary to keep all bathing
accessories pure and clean. The
sponge, II 1t shows signs of souri7g
should be rubbed occasionally with
fresh lemon and rinsed several times
in lukewarm water. A sun bath also
purifies sponge. The soap should be
allowed to drain and dry off after the
bath and never be allowed to soak in
the water.
Lastly the tub should be carefully
rinsed and cleansed ready for the
next occupant. This is a little point
which should be unnecessary to men
ton. but is. alas. often forgotten OF
neglected.

REMEDIES AT HAND
MEDICINE CLOSET IMPORTANT
ADJUNCT TO HOME.
In the Country, Where Physician Is
Not Available for Immediate
Call, Supply of Drugs Is
Prime Requisite.

Keep your medicine closet in order.
In every household, especially in coun-
try homes, where doctors and drug
stores are far away, there should be
wellsupplied and well-kept medicine
closet. This should be locked or high
up out of reach of children.
Have everything labeled and plainly
marked, with the average dose written
on it. Have drugs marked "for exter-
nal use" If used for that purpose only.
1t is through carelessness and lack of
i plain marking that many cases of
poisoning have occurred.
1t is the custom now, however. for
all poisonous drugs to be put in blue
bottles so as to help prevent mistakes
OF this kind. Labels all prepared to be
stuck, with mucilage on the back, can
be procured at drug stores or station
ers, and are very convenient for re-
marking medicine bottles if they need
it.
1t is a good plan to go through your
medlclne chest once or twice year
and empty out old prescriptions, as
they become stagnant and worthless
after several months-that is, some do
and they undergo changes from
standing.
Keep few empty clean bottles in
your medicine closet and clean corks.
also keep some soft clean old linen
cloths for cut fingers, etc. Have a
few bandages of different widths,
spoon and medicine glass Qike

off in eight teaspoons, making one

You should keep on hand In your

external use; turpentine and vaseline,
for external use, especially for colds
in the chest and bronchial colds; mus
tard leaves, so-called, which come as
an already prepared mustard paste, for
external use.
Have your medicine closet beyond
the reach of small children, as fatal
accidents have occurred from children
having access to the medicine closet.
1t belongs to good housekeeping and
to the complete homemaker to have a
medicine closet up to the usual de-
mands of ordinary circumstances. If
you do not need the medicines, so
much the better.
When l say closet do not mean, of
course. the usual large closet built in
all modern bedrooms. allude more to-
a wall cabinet or shelves inclosed anSs
containing doors. These are provided
