food. water and air. These are the three essentials. The lungs must be plentifully supplied with pure air, or they cannot give good blood to the body, and every part suffers. ~ The germs of disease cannot be destroyed unless the system through the lungs receives plenty of fresh air. The lungs cannot get this supply unless the air passages are free If one breathes through the mouth, it means that the air does not enter the lungs either in sufficient amount or in the condition that it should. If the children are mouth breathers their con- dition should be examined to ascertain the cause.

Valenciennes lace at about the same price per piece of one dozen yards IS quite the prettiest trimming one may have. The edging alone may be used, or matching insertion at the same price may be added.
 An extremely pretty idea is to make the ruffies on drawers, chemise and pet ticoat of sheer Persian or French lawn. This may be edged with narrow lace, or the lace may be omitted and hem an inch wide, with one or more clusters Of tiny tucks, well spaced, will afford a novel and most attractive trimming Dotted Swiss may trim another set, and fine cross-barred dimity IS also good for the purpose. There will be character and daintiness about such garments that cannot be equalled by the ready-made except at the highest prices.
 If the long, white petticoats are made by pattern that provides for a detach- able lounce, a seemingly greater variety of skirts may be included and the 1ounces may vary in elaborateness of trimming Here. too, the narrow rufiles of lawn or Swiss, applied to the deeper flounee, will be found fluffy and pretty just the thing to wear under light sum mer frocks.

or gathered at the shoulders, and drawn in snugly at the belt Ii you get lawn at, say twelve and one-half cents per yard, that has tiny pink rosebuds or pale blue blossoms sprinkled over the white ground, try making a frill, three-quar- ters of an inch wide, Of pale-blue or pink lawn to take the place of lace to edge the fronts of the waist or little strap collar.
 Lawn dresses of this kind are not the laundry bugbears that we are sometimes told. Frequent pressing will keep them looking fresh for a long time before there is any necessity for them to be ac- tually laundered. Ii dampness has made them particularly "slimpsy,' rub over each breadth lightly, before pressing, with sponge damped with gum water Avoid the Morning Wrapper
 Infinitely to be preferred to a morning wrapper is the skirt-and-waist costume, both plainly made and, if it seems desir-
 able to carry out the piece idea, both | joined to a band. Gingham, either checked or striped, is most suitable for l these dresses, and a three-piece sllirt-a front gore and two wide gores forming sides and back-is the best and most easily made model.

vital organs, especially the heart and serious damage IS done
 It is by individual experimentation that the problem Is solved. Those who live to eat only will not live very long. The temptation to enjoy the pleasures of the palate in eating and drinking are among the ones most frequently yielded to. Our customs of friendship and hos pitality and our desire for display com bine to dig the pitfalls of a lowered vitality, a weakened system and pre- mature grave.
 Concerning Waste Products
 The waste products of the human ma chine are even more potent factors than food in lowering the vitality; often they do this to such an extent that death is and blotched the heart acts irregularly i; the liver, which IS the most complicated organ in the body, performs its many duties imperfectly.
 The skin assists in disposing of the waste of the system, and in order to do 1t well 1t IS necessary that 1t should be kept in good condition by baths and ex- ercises, otherwise it throws too much work on the kidneys, which are most susceptible to insidious disease that unde-mines the constitution and saps 1t of its vitality Examinations should be made from time to time to see that these organs are acting rightly, especially when ore loses strength and feels that the vitality is lowered.
 Heart and Lungs
 The heart IS a very much over taxed organ. It IS a marvel what strength and vitality it has. It is a muscle which must contract and relax from seventy to eighty times minute throughout the life of the individual The right half receives the used up blood and sends it to the lungs; the left half receives it purified from the lungs to send 1t round the body into the remotest corners through the tiny capillar:es which are hardly visible to the naked eye.
 Anything which lessens its power prevents the blood from arriving at its ultimate destination--tde remote re- cesses of the human frame where the vital processes take place If through over-eating the stomach, which IS ad- iacsnt to the heart, presses upon 1t. it interferes with its work. Stinulants, tea and coffee, poison the heart and un- ii it for its daty Haste, worry. anxiety, grief. emotions of any kind, carried to excess, unnt 1t for ;ts work. Wheri the heart ceases to beat, 1t means death, the wreck of the human machine.
 Food, Water and AIT

CONCERNING HEALTH
Vitality and Freedom from Disease Attained by Car

larly to the dentist to have the teeth examined, Tn order to keep them in a proper condition. How much sickness might be saved If one, feeling that his health was not what 1t should be, should in the same manner consult his physi- clan to obtain help in right ways of liv- ing, that his body might be in the most perfect condition possible. If this orac- tice obtained there would be fewer sud- den deaths from heart disease and other obscure conditions of the internal organs.
 The essential of life in every human being is perfect nutrition. By which is meant that he should have the right kind of food, the proper amount to sus- tain the functioning of the organs of the body and the outlay which IS used in the daily employmentS of the individual. A great deal has been written and preached on this subject recently, but 1t will have little effect if the individual does not find out what these sayings have for him.
 The Right Food
 As necessary for the human machine IS the right kind of food as IS fuel for the furnace which heats the steam by which the engine is run. Coal to heat the boiler containing the steam IS neces- sary for the steam engine, but steam engine cannot be run by electricity any more than the electric motor can be run by steam.
 It is the opinion of many that most people are running their systems not only by not eating the right kind of food, but by eating far too much. 1 think that our present bills of fare are much too elaborate.
 The present crave for novelties mani fests itself in the culinary department in indigestible mixtures which would try the stomach of an ostrich. Youthful stonachs can for a time cope with the digestion of all sorts of things that the middle-aged stomach could not dispose of and which would be more difficult still for one advanced in years. Vitality will be proportiOned to the digestive strength of the stomach.
 Simplicity in Food Essential
 Simple, nourishing food, in the amount necessary to repair the waste that has taken place, and to provide the strength, is what one should take. Anything more clogs the system, impairs the power. The surplus of food IS deposited in fat beneath the skin and around the
