AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE.
Some Good Advice for the Girl Who
Has Just Finished School and 10
Entering Society.

Don't, when school days are over,
fancy that your education is finished.
II is only just beginning. School
merely teaches us how to learn; but
the greater part of our real education
comes after, and whether or not we
end up by being well-educated women
depends almost entirely on ourselves.
Wise people never regard their edu-
cation as finished" They are al
ways on the lookout to learn some
thing new.
Don't let a love Of sport and out
door amusement lead you to despise
needlework and indoor occupations.
The woman whose interests are all
outdoor can never be home maker"
IN the best sense Of the word.
Don't fancy that because you don't
happen to be good looking you cannot
be attractive. Some of the most at
tractive women mentioned in history
have been absolutely plain; they
merely learned how to make the best
of themselves-and so can you.
Don't, II you find 1t difficult to get
on with people, excuse yourself by
saying that you are 80 reserved" 1t
is the surface impression that strang-
ers Judge by, and not one in a thou
sand will take the trouble to try and
find out II you are interesting and
pleasant below II you are cold and re-
served on the surface. Therefore, the
thing to do, is to determine to be
pleasant, even If 1t does mean big
effort. -Boston Herald.

REALLY USEFUL HAT HOLDER
Spiral Coil Of Heavy Wire That Can
Be PrettiIy Decorated Is the Best
Yet Devised.

Taking care of a hat when one Ia
not wearing 1t is always some
trouble, and putting 1t away in box,
from which it must be taken out
every time one wants to use 1t, seems
great bother, especially when one
is In a hurry.
Various hat holders have been con-
trived, some useful and some not
much of a success, but the best one
yet seen and the most steady Is
strong spiral coil of heavy wire, the
bottom being larger round than the
crown of the hat and the top much
smaller.
A girl can buy these spiral wire
holders and make them look very
pretty and dainty herself. The wire
must be covered with ribbons to
match the closet fittings. The cover
ing is done by fastening the end Of
the ribbon securely to the bottom end
Of the wire, then winding the ribbon
closely around the wire all the way
to the top. Each end should be fin
ished with bow. The closets should
be furnished with as many Of these
holders as its owner has hats In use.

Women to EIaht rubercuIOsIs.

One million women, representing
cities, towns, villages and isolated
rural settlements In every section OF
the country, are today enlisted In q
campaign against tuberculosis, accord
ing to a statement issued by the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis. In leSis-
latures, in congress at Washington, in
society gatherings, in churches and
clubs, through speaking and writing
in every possible way, the women OF
the country are persistently fighting
consumption.
With an organization established in
every state of the country, under the
direction Of the General Federation OF
Women's Clubs, and with associated
clubs in Alaska, the Hawaiian islands,
Porto Rico and the canal zone, the
women of the country have entered a
systematic crusade to carry the mes
sage of the prevention and cure Of
tuberculosis into every American
home.

The Marrying AGE.

There seems no harm in young girl
marrying man whose means are am
ply sufficient to maintain a wife, says q
current writer, and, provided that man
possesses the necessary moral and
physical qualities which go to make a
good husband, there can be no possible
objection to the knot being tied as
soon as it suits their convenience. II
there is considerable disparity in age
then it might be advisable to wait for
a time to see If their love for each
other remains firm.
Early youth fades quickly away be-
fore the stern realities Of life and the
responsibilities to be faced by two
young inexperienced people.
The ideal age for marriage for girl
is about rs, and the man should be a
trife older.

OVER THE FENCE
Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it Is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once.
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
, my stomach, back and side, and SO
weak l could scarcely walk.
"One day was chatting with one Of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots Of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit 1t and give
Postum a trial. / did not take her
advice right away but tried change
of climate, which did not do me any
good. Then dropped coffee and took
up Postum.
MY improvement began immediate.
ly and l got better every day used
Postum.
my bowels became regular in two
weeks, all my pains were gone. Now /
am well and strong and can eat any
thing / want to without distress. All
of this is due to my having quit cof-
fee, and to the use Of Postum regu-
larry.
MY son who was troubled with indi-
gestion thought that IL Postum helped
me so, it might help him. 1t did, too,
and he is now well and strong again.
I'VE like Postum as well as we ever
liked the coffee and use it altogether

Sows that have been fed an almost

highly feverish state, are irritable and
