The Woman With "NerveS."

A case OF nerves Is like a bad habit
easily acquired and hard to get rid of.
Nervousness affects the digestion. duls
the eyes, Civ IS strained look to the mus
cles of the iace, and If allowed its course
will even make the hair thin. So the
woman who wants to be beautiful must
keep an eye upon the state Of her nerves.
The best cure for nervousness is rest.
And resting is art known to few
women. Man finds inducement to repose
in his pipe and his trousers pockets.
Womankind having neither the narcotic
influence of the pipe nor the trousers
pockets to imprison her nervous fingers, is
ever active. The only way she may get
repose and relax the body and nerves Is
by actual will power, says the Indianap-
oils News.
Carrots are prescribed by physicians
and beauty doctors alike as a cure for
nervous indigestion. You are told to eat
them three times day, either cooked or
raw. Young onions, or scallions. are ex
cellent eaten with plenty of salt; also
lettuce with salt and plenty Of olive oil,
but no vinegar or red pepper.
SleeplessnesS is the greatest menace
that tired or overweight nerves have for
beauty and health. Sleep may be induced
by warm milk slipped slowly, or. IL this
is ineffective, by long draughts OF cool wa
ter and cold bandage around the brow.

Returning Courtesy.

A woman who, having spent the sum-
mer i'm hotel. has received any cour-
tesies from cottagers, should be most
particular in returning hospitality be-
fore she leaves at the end of the sea-
son. II is no excuse. in refusing to do
this, that she is at a hotel and that
persons boarding are not expected to
entertain. That is no longer true. for
one is supposed to be a member of a
country or yacht club, or, failing either
of these. a dinner or luncheon may be
given privately at the hotel.
Cottagers in these days, when they
are sufficient unto themselves and inde-
pendent of hotel people," rather go
out of their way when they invite
friends staying at hotels or boarding
houses. Such invitations are to be
taken as special courtesies, for only
through them can boarders get into the
colony life of a place. 1t is only at a
cottage they will meet other cottagers,
and so. when a hostess brings in an
outsider, she should take pains to dem
onstrate that she appreciates what has
been done for her. She may give a
luncheon. dinner or bridge, and il may
be necessary to give all three to return
in kind what she has received.
Her invitations may be as informal as
she chooses. bidding people by word or
mouth, by notes or over a telephone.
Even though a woman staying at a
hotel may have received no invitations
from cottagers. she must punctiliously
return their calls IL any cards have
been left for her. In point of fact. a
first call should have been returned
with all the promptitude one would OBJ
serve in winter: after that informality
may reign in this particular. But IL
there is any house at which she owes
a call, neither wind nor weather may
prevent her from going there before
she fits townward; that is. IL she
wishes to know those people another
season.
1t will not do for her to put off the
call until next summer. Each year
starts afresh, and II she Is at hotel
she is not privileged to call upon a cot
tager, even though she may owe call
since last summer. Naturally this rule
does not hold between old friends, but
1t is infiexible as between acquaint-

Keeping Gloves

TIMELY H|NTSF
WOMEN READERS
PIiabIe Hair.

Hair always unmanageable directly
after shampooing, will more quickly be-
come pliable If IL is treated with tonic
Immediately after washing. the process
of which latter / told in a special article
yesterday.
Owing TO the fact that soap and water
always serve to neutralize natural oils of
the scalp their place must be supplied
Immediately with substitute, and. ac-
cording 90 the original condition OF the
scalp, the tonic must be chosen. Even a
head which is very moist naturally re-
quires a little oil after a bath. There
should not be enough grease to have a
permanent effect, but one that will re-
main only for couple of days.
One l like for this purpose is made
from one ounce Of cologne and one-eighth
Of an ounce of castor oil. For scalp
that is naturally too dry, and therefore
more than usually parched after washing.
a pOmade is made from three ounces of
beef marrow, one ounce each of balsam
of Peru and oil of sweet almonds, nine
grains OF alcoholic tincture of cantha-
rides, one-half dram of rectified spirits,
three drops each of oils of mace and Gin
namon and two drops of oil of cloves.
The oils are put into the spirits. The
marrow is melted in a cup set into boiling
water. and strained as it liquefies. The
balsam is added to the spirits and the oil
is put with the marrow while the latter
is still liquid. Before the combination
hardens. but after 1t begins TO cool a
little, the spirits are mingled with the
fats. When cold this is pomade.
The manner of applying this and any
other tonic does not vary, save that a
liquid must be put on with a brush or
sponge, while paste goes best from the
finger tips
The work consists of dividing the hair,
placing one-half out OF the way. That
portion of the scalp first to be treated
is cleared by making another part in the
hair, and the line thus exposed is COW
cred with the tonic. Another division not
more than an inch from the last is again
made. and the line also treated, the di-
visions and applications being repeated
until one-half of the scalp has been COW
cred. The other half Is then similarly
gone over, after which the head should
be gently massaged. When the work is
done slowly and carefully, as suggested,
the long hair will never become greasy,
no matter how sticky the application
may be-
TONES are meant not for the hair, but
for the scalp, so that there is no object
in covering the locks themselves.

NATIONAL BAKERS ASSOCIATION
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

The National Association of Master
Bakers will begin its annual convention
in Baltimore today. Many hundred bak-
ers, coming from every state and impor-
tant city in the nited States, are in at
tendance. Several important problems
will be considered by the association at
this meeting, the most important of
which is how to increase the consump-
ton Of bakers bread. The breadmaking
authorities have figured that 90 per cent
of all the bread consumed In the United
States is made at home. and the bakers
believe that they ought to be able to fur
nish at least one-half OF the bread used
by the American people. Many bakers
attribute the small share of the bread
making business they get to the dislike of
housewives for handled loaves, and de-
clare that IL the bakers would deliver
their bread in wrappers made of paraffin
paper IT would increase the consumption
of bakers bread to remarkable degree.
There are those bakers. however. who
assert that wax paper wrappers. put on
at the time the bread is taken from the
oven, injuries the quality of the bread,
and that their customers do not like Ii as
we'll as the unwrapped bread in a few
cases bakers have tried to change from
unwrapped to wrapped bread. and have
failed in the experience. But for the most
part il has been found that the bread de-
livered in wrappers has been a good bust
ness getter. This question in all its phases
was considered at the last annual con-
vention. and will be one of the foremost
topics of discussion at the present con-
vention.

OiuSouc' ing of -four was used

through the bleaching process bakers

question of artificially bleached flour was
carried up to the pure food board and
through that body to the courts. Since
the courts have held that the sale Of such

Many crusades have been conducted in
various cities of the country against I'M
clean baking establishments. In many of
the principal cities of Virginia conditions
were found to be very bad. The bakers
who prided themselves on having clean
and wholesome establishments felt very
much grieyed that the officials would not
point out by name the establishments
that were not clean, declaring that their
refusal to do so injured the business OF
the careful bakers. In Boston the Con-

included the names of such bakers as
were found to be complying with all the

the stones used for pounding the meal
and baking the bread to be found in
these excavations, but the very bread it
self has been unearthed. preserved by
being carbonized in the fires that destroy
ed the pile of dwellings of the primitive
race. Meiskommer found eight pounds
while excavating at Robenhausen, being
the remnant of about forty pounds Of
bread when freshly made. At about the
same time some bread was found at
Wangen in charred condition. but other
wise perfectly preserved. The loaves were
nearly round and the bottom was fat
or concave, showing that IL had been
baked on hot stones, much after the fash
ion of the old-time country bakeoven.
One may go back $500 years to the
time when Abraham gave the angels
bread on the plains of Mamre, or 1900
years, when Joseph sat down with his
brethren TO eat bread in the valley of
Schechem and the methods Of making II
are found to be the same that are in
vogue in Mexico and Central America to-
day, where the tortilla is still the ma
tional staff of life. The use of yeast in
making bread is also of ancient origin. II

Origin of trade. Jean Piet-
oA OoAoH' sterdam kept a
bakeshop He was afraid of evil spirits
and kept a bottle of another kind of
spirits by his side to forfend him against
expected attacks. In 1854, while con-
templating the profits he had made dur
ing the holiday season, a shrill feminine
voice demanded dozen New Years
cookies. He gave her a dozen. She de-
manded one more, saying that she want
ed a dozen, TO which he replied that she
would have TO go Ito the duyvil and ged

that time it seemed that he was bewitch-
ed, for his cakes were stolen, his bread
was so light that ii went up the Chin
ney. or so heavy II went through the
oven, his wife became deaf. his children
went wild and his trade went elsewhere.
Three times the bag returned to renew
the spell. Then the baker appealed to ST.
Nicholas, and was admonished to be more
generous in the future. fourth time
the bag returned and demanded the extra
cake. She got IT and exclaimed that the
spell was broken, and that from that
time henceforth a dozen would be thir-
