=" ANDS, to keep their whiteness and
smoothness, need plenty of
- grease. One should have a wide
mouth jar or bottle of grease upon the
wash-stand, and before drying the
hands after washing them rub some of
it we'll into the skin. White vaseline
and almond oil. mixed together in equal
parts, make good lubricant.
Keeping the Hands Moist
If the hands are very dry, wear loose
gloves at night after rubbing some
grease we'll into them. The difficulty
in keeping the hands in good condition
is the necessity for washing them so
frequently. The water takes the oil
out of the skin. The soap used for
the hands should not contain too much
alkali
If the hands are not thoroughly dried
after washing them or having them in
water they will become red and rough.
Some use gylcerine for the hands. 1t
should always be borne in mind when
using glycerine for any toilet purpose
that 1t does not agree with all skins. 1t
takes the moisture out of the skin, and
therefore should be mixed with water
when used.
Caring for the Nails
The care of the nails is of great inn
portance to the looks of the hands.
They should be almond shaped. / have

WHEW! AND A MAN, TOO

Is the senate woman suffrage COM
mittee a graveyard?
According to Arthur Wallace Dunn,
in a Washington dispatch to the Wo-
mans National Daily. the sole object
in maintaining this committee seems
to to be provide a politician with a
craftsmanship. Mr.. Dunn writes as
follows:
For many years the senate has
maintained a committee on woman
suffrage. 1t might be interesting to
know why it was created in the first
place, but we know that it is retained
in the list now in order to give one of
the older members of the Democratic
party, in point of service, a chairman
ship with committee clerk messen-
ger. These little additions to senator
ial perqnistes have all been brought
about in the last dozen years, but that
is only line in passing. In all the
score of years, and longer, perhaps, in
which there has been committee on
woman suffrage in the senate it has
accomplished nothing. 1t has heard
delegations of women who presented
reasons why the national congress
should pass a woman suffrage law; it
has occasionally secured the printing
of such hearings so that they might
be circulated through the mails at
government expense, but it has never
reported the different bills and reso-
lutions for suffrage, even adversely
the latter method would afford an OPP
portunity for discussion of the subject
in the senate-and therefore it would
be interesting to know what the COM
mittee would really do if it was asked
to do something. The present mem
bership of the NJnmittee is as follows:
Clay of GeorgiaySJ ohnston of Alabama,
Beveridge of Indiana Burkett of Me-
braska and Wetmore of Rhode Island.
1t might be that these men would get
busy if the advocates of suffrage
should ask them. 1t is observed that
not a senator from any one of the
woman suffrage states is a member
of this committee. Is not that very
strange?

FOR THE coNvALEscENT

m HE convalescent patient is usually
the object of well-meaning atten-
\ lions. A trained nurse has learned
to ward of kind-hearted but misdirect-
ed efforts. But in the home where the
nursing Is done by loving amateurs
much unnecessary suffering is caused,
often through ignorance.
There are many women unframed in
the ways of nursing who have the touch
which soothes and never irritates;
when they cross our path in our days
of pain we thankfully give ourselves
up to their ministrations.
For the woman who has not the in
stinct, let her remember that she
should not be anXious or, If she Is,
let her conceal her anxiety. She must
not keep asking the patient how he
feels. If he has a pain he will not try
to hide 1t. She must not keep asking
him if he wants anything" She can
find out most of his wants by paying
attention to his remarks. If she thinks
he ought to have thing she should
get 1t and not talk about 1t.
She should see that the room is not
cluttered with useless things, and that
it is well ventilated.
She should neither hustle nor rustic,
and, above all, keep the patient quiet.
The most important events in the
day are the doctors visit and the
meals. Let both occasions be pleasant
and beneficial. She should plan the
meals carefully, not having many
kinds of food nor large quantities.; but
what she does have should be very
good and a SURPRISE Almost any pa
tient may have sweetbreads. They are
nourishing, easily dtgested and good.
They spoil quickly, so they should be
cared for as soon as they come from
the market.
Parboil them before subsequent cook
ing. Put them into cold water for ten
minutes. Parboil fifteen minutes in
boiling sailed water, then place in cold
water. Remove the skin and mem
branes. There IRE many ways of serv-
ing sweetbreads, but the three best
ways for sick people are creamed, au
gratin or broiled.
For creamed sweetbreads or au
gratin, cut them into half-inch cubes
with silver knife "a steel knife Injuries
the delicate favor. Make one cup or
white sauce, put the sweetbreads IN.
heat we'll and serve on small pieces or
thin toast.
For au gratin, put creamed sweet
breads in a small baking dish. spread
lightly over the top buttered bread
crumbs and bake until golden brown.
The brown of the crumbs give the
sweetbreads delicious flavor.
For broiling, split parboiled sweet
bread crosswise, sprinkle with salt
and broil five minutes or till delicate
brown. Put a little butter over the
top. Garnish with parsley.
BOILED rice or a baked potato go well
with sweetbreads. A very tender celery
heart for flavor, and a baked apple for
dessert, make a nice, satisfying lunch
or dinner.

been asked how one can have the white
moons that appear at the base of the
nails. That the nail should look we'll.
the skin about 1t should be kept loose.
This Is done by means. of an orange
wood stick or the blunt end of a nail
file.
If this skin is raised and pushed back
the little crescent at the base of the
nail will appear. In some cases the
moon is buried So deep that the skin
cannot be pushed back far enough to
bring more than the tip of it in sight.
and sometimes not even that will show.
One should learn to do manicuring for
ones self. 1t is very easy. after little
practice. At first soak the nails in soap
and water to which a few drops of
ammonia have been added. Then raise
the cuticle about the nail and push it as
far back as it will go. Trim the nails
with the scissors (the small curved nail
scissors are the best), and then use the
rough side of the emery boards which
come for the nails until they are shaped
properly.
Manicuring at Home
Do not point the nails. I think it is
in very bad taste. Fingers thus tipped
with nails remind one of claws. Use
blunt nail cleaners or orange-wood
sticks to clean the nails. Never scrape
them; IL destroys the naturally pollShed
surface, and the nails will easily collect
dirt. If there are hang-nails, cut them
close to the skin, but above all things
do not cut the little selvage edge which
surrounds the nail. You will be troubled
with hang-nails if you do, and it will
make it raw and bleed easily.
Rub plenty of white vaseline into the
nails or the carmine pomade that comes
especially for this purpose. remember
ing that it is not in good taste to make
the finger nails too pink with it, Then
take the nail brush and with hot soap
and water scrub the nails, after which
you can polish them.
