The Cause of the Delay.

Our small boy. Arthur. had long be-
hcved that Il baby in the family was
desirable. since most Of his playmates
came from homes provided with this
adjunct. In good time his mother told
him contidentialIy that his oft ex-
pressed wish for family baby would
probably be gratified. The news was
too good to keep. and Arthur was
promptly Boosting to his pearest chum.
But when are you going to have

''Oh. I don't know-'fore long, /

Huh" shifted the other, whats
the use of waiting? What goods a
baby if you can't have it when you
want it? Why don't you get it right
away?"

DAILY BATH INJURIOUS.
Cherished Custom of Anglo Saxon
Race Knocked on the Head.

One of the most cherished traditions
of the British race, the ''cold tub every
morning." is mercilessly criticised by
DR.. ]. II. Clarke of London in Vital
Economy; or, How to Conserve Your
Strength" published recently.
DR.. Clarke contends that in the mat
ter of health we are enslaved by words
and phrases. "The pores of the skin
is a phrase at the shrine of which
many feeble folk are sacrificing the
last ficker,of their energy in the daily
morning tub. Plenty of fresh air is
another tyrant which has claimed
numberless victims.
81 once lost good patient, who was
always ailing, by cutting off his daily
morning tub says DR.. Clarke. HE
grew strong and put on weight, and
it is one of his delights to shock his
friends by telling them how many
years it is since he had bathr'
Too much soaping and scrubbing, ac-
cording to DIR. Clarke, remove the lu-
bricating material secreted in the
glands of the skin to make it soft and
supple, and the removal leaves the
skin more sensitive to atmospheric
changes.
The skin is a self cleansing organ
By soaking the body the self cleans
ing cells absorb water, swell up and
die.
''One has only to rub oneself after a
bath and they come off in little rolls.
These do not consist of dirt, as is the
popular idea, but of dead skin cells l
often tell people that it is quite pos
sible for them to wash themselves
dirty. They remove so much of the
protecting surface that they give the
dirt real chance of getting into their
SKINS"
DIR. Clarke recommends as a substi-
tute.for bath a folded towel, wetted
in the center and passed rapidly all
over the body. This will "open the
pores sufficiently without entailing
any shock.

TRAINING WILD BEASTS.
Whips, Sticks and Iron Rods Are the
Methods That Win.


Kindness and argymint," said the
backwoods father of i've husky sons,
'.is great things. but whenever l want-
er persuade one o. my boys to do
suthin' in hurry tibet be don't want
er do use bale stick"
In laying down this rule for the gov
eminent of his offspring the old back
woodsman hit the principle Of wild
animal training straight In the nose.
The only use an animal trainer has for
the word kindness may be found in
its employment when he discusses his
professional methods with an inter-
viewer.
Many pounds of good white paper
have been wasted in describing in
stances Of mutual affection between
animal and trainer, but when it comes
right down to actual cases the sole
bond between the domestic man and
the wild beast is a good strong stick,
and the fiercer the beast the bigger
and tougher the stick. OF the great
army of nature takers certainly the
professional animal trainer is COM
maDder in chief.
Whips, sticks and iron rods are the
accepted instruments of persuasion,
and trainers constantly employ them.
When a wild animal is to be broken
the first thing to break is his spirit 1t
is done with a club. = Everybody's

TIE Big Brutes Get Lazy and Spirit

AS he grows old a lion gets lazy

truth. Indeed, the older liens will fire.

lion and usually tougher proposition

NEEDLEWoRK NOTES.

Whenever possible one should mend
wooden clothing with the rawlings Of
the goods. This makes much neater
mend. and if neatly done the rent will
lie almost invisible.
When sewing a collar to a waist do
not allow any fullness to occur across
the back of the waist, unless the waist
is designed for it. If the neck has
stretched a little and is too large for
the band let the fullness come from
the front of the waist to a little in
front of the shoulder seam.
For a handy needlebook a piece of
blue satin ribbon eight inches long and
two inches wide is pointed at each
end and finished with q small blue silk
tassel 1t is then stitched to a second
piece of ribbon the same size and
sewed across to form three small
needle pockets. Into the three pockets
are thrust small papers of needles.
White cotton Grape is a serviceable
and pretty material for the house
wrapper. 1t can be made rather full
If the fullness is supplied by having
numerous tucks in the waist portion.
The wrapper is made in an empire
mode with the girdie placed below
the bust line. Any dainty trimming
in blue or pink would be pretty. An
applique Of apple green or apple green
lace insertion would serve nicely for
outlines. For cheap wrapper select
a pink Powered lawn and make it with
short sleeves, finished at the elbow
with bands. Plat the shoulders and
have 1t double breasted and collarless.
Outline the neck, waist front and front
seam with lace insertion. Tie at the
waist with pink silk ribbon.
