When sewing fine material. like chif-

M. P. CHURCH FOR
QUIET SABBATHS

That the Methodist Protestant
Church does not differ largely from tile
beliefs Of the other Methodist churches
in its opinions on the Sabbath ques-
tion, was evinced by the passage Of a

at its Saturday session. It
called upon the people to avoid
Sunday visiting, and other alleged vio-
lations Of the Sabbath. Qualification
was expressed on the recent suppress
ing Of the Baltimore Sunday concerts

the Sunday liquor laws.

A Homemade TurkIsh Rath.

one athletic young woman indulges
frequently in what she calls her
homemade Turkish bath" IL is a
fact. she says. that one cannot always
cleanse the skin thoroughly with only
soap and water and a comparatively
smooth cloth. A cold cream bath on
the face viii prove that. Therefore
she takes a small scrub brush Of the
sort sometimes sold in the drug stores
for nail brushes. and. first wetting the
body with a sponge and hot water.
scrub the whole surface OF the skin
with the brush and a thick soap lather
This goes down into the pores and
cleanses them, carries or more old skin
and particles OF dust and waste than
the ordinary wash cloth, md stimu-
lates tho circulation. The soap Is
next thoroughly rinsed off with hot
water, and the bath followed by a
cold shower and a brisk rub For the
not too vigorous person, a slight rest
adds to the beneficial effect. but,
whether with or without the conclud-
ing nap. the treatment will be found
both refreshing and invigorating.

THEATRICAL
GRAND OPERA HOUSE

Theatre-goers will this afternoon and
evening assemble at the. Opera House and
pass judgment on the new policy to be in
troduced there to-day. as well as to the
quality of the entertainment offered. The
theatre itself, VIII present very much
improved appearance, and the program to
be offered gives promise OF being just such
a combination of music and comedy which
makes vaudeville SO popular and enjoy
able. The occasion has naturally aroused
the keenest anticipation OF pleasure among
theatre-goers The appearance here Of
Cuiseppi Serignano and his famous Band
of Rome, as the headline feature Of the
premier program is regarded as sufficient
to draw good crowds. This organization
is the only one OF its kind that has ever
been heard In American vaudeville. Its
performance is unique, not alone on ac-
count of personality OF the talented leader,
and the superior quality of the music, but
because of the unusual setting it is given.
AS the curtain rises it discloses a fun stage
set representing the deck Of huge pattle-
ship. and the musicians make their ap-
pearance i'm full naval regalia. AS they
take their places picture is presented like
so many new dashes of color on an ar
lists canvas. serignano and his band never
play trash, nor do they devote their entire
half hour TO one particular class Of music.
They play good music. but It must be bril-
liant. and If heavy selection is intro
duced there must be something light to
proceed or follow it. The secret of seri-
gnano's success is his ability to imhue his
audience with the same spirit which ami
mates himself in his enthusiastic. and mas
terful leadership.

Care Of 0llcIoih.

straw broom or scrubbed with a stiff
brush. Instead sweep with a soft hair
brush and wipe off with lukewarm water

months and is losing the shiny surface,
wash according to directions. Then melt
a little ordinary glue in a pint of water,
letting it stand on the back of the stove
until dissolved. At night 60 over the

In papering a room IL should be rc-
membered that light Is the first con-
slderation. and that the paper must
be chosen accordingly.
Pure white Is the best choice when
a specially light room is wanted. as
It absorbs only about 10 per cent. Of
the light thrown upon It. Dark green
on the other hand. is the greatest con-
sumer Of light absorbing about So per
cent.
Next to white as a light-producer,
the soft pastel tints and light blues,
which absorb from 20 10 % per cent.
OF the light; then comes orange at 81
rer cent: apple and grape green's, al
most 80 per cent; and the popular
brown is almost as bad as the dark
green. as II takes up about So 20 20 per
