mo Lunch" Habit Harmful.

Business Girl think you are ex-
tremely foolish to go without your
luncheon. It is no wonder that you are
50 frightfully tired at night and have
those pathetic purple circles under your
eyes The fact that you eat such d
large breakfast is no reason at all for
you going without your luncheon. The
woman who works, who is constantly
giving out her energies, who is sur
rounded by people often of a high strung
and nervous temperament, is under a
continual strain. So few women realize
when they 90 into the business world
that the quality of work they are going
to do as well as their general health
depends greatly on the quantity and
quality of food they take. BY all means
giva up the habit of going without your
luncheon.

SOILED SATCHELS
MADE TO LOOK NEW

The satchel that I saw cleaned was
of brown leather, but so worn and
soiled that no one would carry IL. It
was first washed with soap and water,
then coat of sweet oil was put on
and allowed to dry into the leather.
When thoroughly dry four other
coats Of Bood brown liquid shoe
dressing were applied with paint
brush, each coat being dried before
the next was applied. after which a
thin coat of white shellac was applied
with the same brush after being
washed When finished, the satcEsl
looked as bright and clean as when
new.
a black satchel can be cleaned in
the same way. except that black
dressing should be used The dress
in must be liquid dressing. not the
paste. I have just finished a black
satchel of my own. which is like new.
