USE CANDLES IN SUMMER
WHEN eAs JETS ARE HoT


When the excessive light Of the gas jet
or the electric bulb tires weak cyes, resort
to the good old ,aliow candle
In sick rooms where a candle would do
the bsst service during the night, 1t is
entirely forgotten and the tired eyes OF
the invalid are forced TO endure a light
that perhaps is constantly working in
jury and adding nervousness to the other
maiady.
Candles could also easily be used to e.
conomize on the gas bill.
Furnishing a holder with one for each
bedroom can be done at small cost with
good result
Shades might also be bought for them at
a small cost and give them even a neateI
appearance and save them from flicker
ing in airy rooms.
For the sick room wax candles are pre-.
ferred, as they never produce smoke OF
smell.
They seem to scothe the nerves of the
invalid and in this way help to produce a
restful night.

Weekly Shampoo Needed
During the hot Summer

In the summer when flying dust and
perspiration combine to soil the scalp in
few days time, a weekly shampoo is nee
essary.
Washing the head every week with soap
Is injurious. and before the sumner is over
the hair starts to fall, and continues to
do so all winter.
For blonde and brown hair, the hest
thing 10 clean it with IN hot weather is
cornmeal and orris root.
Throw a towel on the bed. hold your
head over the towel and rub the scalp
thoroughly with dry oatmeal. Shake out
the meal and repeat the rubbing process
with fresh meal.
Take a fine brush and brush thehair dil-
igently. removing every particle Of meal.
If a little orris root is rubbed on the
brush. it will impart a dainty scent to
the hair. and also aid in cleaning IL.
This treatment will strengthen the hair
as well as serving for weekly shampoo.

Earrings Growing in Popularity
With the SmanIy Dressed Woman

All the smart women seem to have out
grown the antipathy TO earrings
Artificial pearl buttons are used TO tho
almost exclusion Of the real gems
When these do net meet approval, fresh
water or barbaue rearls are used and cut
down to the proper size and smoothuess.
Large disks of mother-of-pearl are very
smart They are surrounded by thin rims
Of gold. Balls Of white coral are equally
in demand.
OF course IL you are tall enough you
should wear pendants Of pearl or jet They
are the smartest Of all. Some women even
wear hoops of small pearls which hangs
from a single pearl.
In fact the earring OF all kinds is with
us. and we look quite sophisticated or
gypsylike according to our particular
type.
The hair is worn quite fiat in front and
whenever possible it is parted. An num-
Der of ieweled bands are being worn in
the hair and these go with the most class
ical style of hairdressing.

ASHES FILL The
RIVER CHANNEL
Many Tons Of Material Are
Said TO be Dumped Into
River

While the federal government is
spending the last OF the million dol
lars appropriated to dredge out the
Delaware river channel TO the depth of
thirty feet. and while Philadelphia Is
contemplating entering upon a compre-
hensive project for port improvement.
vessels that ply In tho river are daily
doing what they can To nullify these
efforts and 10 turn into tho channel
all that they can TO take the place Of
the material removed. Investigation
that has been made into the means
by which these vessels dispose OF their
large amount of waste discloses the
fact that this waste Is being dumped
into the river TO aid in creating addi-
tional shoals.
Very little OF the hundreds OF tons
of ashes made daily by tho vessels in
the river is deposited upon land, i'm
accordance with law. Instead, virtu-
ally all is disposed OF I'm the handicst
way possible-by election into the
stream; and, Furthermore, many OF the
Delaware river vessels have been espe-
cially equipped with facllitls so that
this election may be done below the
water line, and detection thus be
avoided.
LAXITY OF INSPECTION.
Coming close upon the disclosures as
to laxity Of inspection of basins where
dredged material is dumped. this de-
velopment viii awalSn the shipping
community TO a grave menace TO It's
interests. How much material has
found its way back into the channe
from tho dumping basins can never
be known, but so far as the ashes ar,
concerned, 1t is certain that fully a
per cent made by vessels In the Della
ware river is to-day swelling the vol
ume Of solid matter that finds lodg
ment in the river bed.
