Allen was dumfounded. He looked

all the cosmetics, no matter how care
fully and scientifically prepared, can
but fail to do.
Besides putting roses in the cheeks
and inches in the lungs, it is really
the fat Womans best recourse.
1t may seem difficult, but by going
slowly, running only few yards each
day in the beginning and gradually in
creasing the distance, in an amazingly
short time she will be able to run
mile or more without serious inconven-
fence, and when she has achieved this
feat she will not need to resort to di-
citing to reduce her too solid flesh.
OF course the ideal condition is to
run out of doors, but if this is not
possible good gymnasium should be
utilized. With the windows wide open
abundant fresh air will fill the lungs
and after little time my lady will
look forward to her daily trot with
pleasant anticipation.
These, then, are the most important
rules for the woman to observe who
wishes to be young and blooming and
to defy Father Time-sleep at least
eight hours, more if possible, take
plenty of good hot baths, not tepid;
exercise abundantly, do not overeat,
and avoid rich gravies, pastries, etc.
Look at life calmly and philosophic-
ally. Cultivate kindness of thought.
Try it a month and watch the result.

CARE OF THE SCHOOL GIRL

Much has been written about the
care of the baby, and this is, of course
of the utmost Importance.
Still more attention should be paid
to the health of the school girl. She
should be better taught how to care
for her own health.
The adolescent school girl should be
most carefully looked after during the
most impressionable and formative pc
riod of her life If she is to stand the
stress and strain of our modern edu-
cational system.
Plenty of exercise in the open air
should be insisted upon, although the
strenuosity of tennis or basketball may
be too much for some of the more del
icate girls.
Horseback riding Is delightful, but
not always possible; light gardening
is helpful both in keeping the girl in
the open and in keeping her mind oc-
cupied and interested in a healthy di-
rection.
If you have no sleeping porch or
cannot improvise one, at least be sure
that she keeps the windows of her
room wide open.
Regularity and system should be the
keynotes of her life. Be sure that she
takes plenty of time to eat her meals
and that they are nourishing, easily
digested and regular. If she must
take cold luncneOn, put IL up your
self, dear mother, even If you must
neglect something else to do SO. Do
not allow an undue amount of sweets
or pickles and condiments. See to it
that she has plenty of well ripened,
fresh fruit. There are so many dainty
sandwiches that are easily made that
one should have no trouble in finding
plenty of variety, and variety is the
spice of life. If the sandwiches are
carefully made and wrapped in waxed
paper they will remain fresh for sew
eral hours. A piece of homemade
cake Is always appreciated and in no
way Objectionable.
Do not allow late hours or exciting
entertainments, although she must
have healthy recreation If she is to be
the happy, wholesome girl who is your
delight and pride.
Be sure that she does not sit in the
school room with wet feet Or wet
skirts, as this is one of the most COM
mon causes of serious illnesses
among girls. Rubber overshoes are
one of the greatest blessings ever in
vented, and every girl seems to have
an inherent dislike for them. How
ever, they are one Of the things that
should be insisted upon. The clothing

TUBERCULOSIS CURE

is doubtful if any medical dis
covery in the last generation, or
indeed in any other generation,
has met with such profound and wide
spread interest as has the discovery
of Charles F. Aycock, in Los Angeles,
of tuberculosis cure, the first account
of which appeared in the columns Of
The Herald a few days ago.
The new offices established by Mr..
Alcock and his associates in the Inter-
national Bank building in Los Ange-
les have been crowded with those at
tracted by the announcement of the
new discovery, while the mails from all
parts of California, Arizona and New
Mexico are bringing anxious inquiries,
and points as far east as Allentown,
Pa, have already heard the news, al
though it is less than three weeks ago
since the first announcement of it was
made.
1t had come to be so well settled a
fact that no specific could be found that
would kill the germs of tuberculosis
that the public generally, to say moth
ing of the sufferers from the disease,
and above all the medical profession, at
first received the discovery with skep
.ticism, but could not be held back from
an investigation.
Mr.. Aycock, however, had kept so
careful a record of all the cures he had
made during his long period of expert
mentation, noting the condition of the
patients when they first began to take
his treatment, and in large number Of
cases actually had the meteorological
reports, from month to month, showing
the gradual diminution of the tubercle
bacilli from "many" to "none," that
those who went to him doubling have
gone away convinced, it is said, in the
greater number of cases.

should be loose and simple so that she
will not be thinking only of outdress-
ing her classmates. Her hair should
be simply dressed. The numerous rats
and puffs seen on so many girls heads
not only make them grotesque and
conspicuous, but will in course of time
spoil that crowning glory of woman
hood, her hair.
The teeth should be carefully looked
after twice a year. and you will find
you will save many dollars in dentists
bills and have far better teeth The
dentist will give many valuable hints
on the care and preservation of the
teeth.
The girl who is carefully cared for
has a far better chance to become a
happy, healthy woman than the one
who Is not SO guarded.

and hold the sunshine long after its
direct rays have departed. Too many
cut flowers are said to vitiate the air
of a sick room. Growing plants are
much better gift for sick person.
And if you buy a plant be sure to get
one that has two or three buds. In the
uneventful life of a sick room the de-
velopment of a flower is often as ap-
sorbing and delightful interest.
Never allow a lugubriously inclined
person to see a patient, especially a
nervous patient. l actually know of
one case where patient, i'll with ner-
vous trouble, had a distinct relapse
when kindly neighbor who was al
lowed to see her saluted with, why,
how you have fallen away!"
And yet, while you should be caretul
not to let the patient see you think he
is very ill, don't go to the other ex-
treme of making light of his symp-
toms.
1t isn't good for patient to have
preliminary funeral services held over
him in the expression and attitude OF
his friends, but it doesn't hurt him to
have a little kindly sympathy for his
aches and pains.
The golden mean is as good thing
to follow in a sick room as elsewhere,
and the very best atmosphere one can
create about sick person is the at
mosphere of perfectly normal everyday
life and cheerfulness.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05
THE CHEERFUL SICK ROOM

Nurses and friends of the sick will
read with profit this bit of discourse
from the ready pen of Ruth Cameron,
the "Chit Chat" editor of the New
York Globe and Commercial Adver-
tiser. We are indebted to the Buffalo
Medical Journal for discovering and
reprinting the article, and are very
glad to follow suit:
l wonder if all of US realize of what
tremendously great Importance it is to
have a cheerful, normal atmosphere in
a sick room.
We put great stress on shutting out
the worries of everyday life, but too
often we succeed in also shutting out
its vitality and cheerfulness and Gre
ating a lifeless atmosphere that would
be bad for well person and is
doubly so of course for the sick man.
Having an Indian war dance in
patients room couldn't be any worse
for him than this white-fiowers-low-
-Voice-bated-b breath atmosphere
that some people think it is necessary
to create in sick room," nurse who
is at the top of her profession said to
me once.
I was reminded of that yesterday
when I went to see young girl who
appendicitis, and she told me that the
thing that did the most to get her well
was just her nurses red kimono.
when they started to operate on
me I knew they didn't expect me to
live, so was feeling pretty bad," she
said, "but when l came out of the
ether 1 saw the nurse sitting there so
comfortable and cheerful and home
like looking in that red klmono that it
didn't seem to me she could think I
was as sick as that, and it gave me so
much confidence that I began to feel
better right away"
tell just how i'll he is. Most of us
don't get to the fiat-on- our backs
send-for-a-doctor stage until we feel
about as miserable as we can imagine
feeling, and whether we really are on
the verge of death or just feel so we
have to tell by the action of those
about us.
Wherefore it is distinctly up to those
about sick folks to create as cheerful
and unalarming an atmosphere as pos
sible.
The habit of following the doctor out
of the room and holding converse with
him just out of the patients earshot
is an exceptionally vicious one. 1t
doesn't make any difference if you
simply ask the doctor, "Shall / keep
the medicine in a cool placer" and he
answers, "Yes."
The patient is perfectly sure that
you asked If he were likely to live,
and the doctor said he wasn't.
II Never send white flowers to a sick
person. They are altogether too sug-
gestive. Even violets are a trifle too
funereal. Bright red and yellow flowers
are the best. Sunshine, you know, is
a great healer, and such flowers catch

ON THE ART OF KEEPING YOUNG

ON THE ART OF kEEPlNG IOONS
Is there anything we can say that is
of more Importance to the general read
er than to give a few timely words of
advice on the art of keeping young ?
There really is no trouble at all about 1t
if you just know what to do and do II
at the right time.
Sara Bernhardt, the divine Sara, says
she has kept her youth by the aid or hot
water and soap.
when am tired 1 take hot bath;
when am nervous 1 take hot bath
the massage; when / am depressed
nothing exhilarates and puts me in
form so soon as a hot bath.
Every night when I am playing !
take hot scrub before going to bed.
Afraid to use soap on my face? WnaI
nonsense! There is no beautitier like
soap and water and no preserVatlVe
against illness, nerves and age that
compares with hot water
1t has been by means chiefly OF rol-
lowing these simple rules that Madame
Bernhardt seems at so as youthful as a
woman of 80.
Clara Barton keeps young by not put
tering. There is nothing that takes the
freshness and beauty from womans
face more quickly than irritability and
fussing over unimportant things. Wor-
ry will add ten years to even youth
full face in a short time. Clara Barton
says:
Don't putter. When I am not work.
ing l rest or play. When 1 see woman
breaking down with nervous porstra-
ton L wonder when will women learn
to take life simply.
"Sleep is a great thing for women.
Half the women don't sleep enough.
Cultivate the habit of mapping. Avail
yourself of a chance to rest when it is
possible. 1t isn't work that wears a
woman out, it is worry, and the way
to keep young is to stop worrying and
go to work"
No one will deny that Mrs. Annie
Jenness Miller knew what she was
talking about when she made posi-
tive statement in regard to the acquir-
ing of beauty. A rarely beautiful
woman herself, she retained her
youthful charm to old age. Mrs.
Miller's theory is that nothing short
ems woman's life SO soon nor SO
quickly dims her beauty, making her
old and ugly before her time, as in
dulging in ugly fits of temper. Learn
to control your temper, for every time
you allow it to control you you spoil
your good looks and injure you COM
plexion.
Not only that, but the woman who
governs her temper Is the woman VINO
wins in this life; as a rule it is she
who makes the best match, because
men like sweet tempered women and
she is surrounded always by host
of admiring fiends. Anger, fretfulness
and peevishness upset the blood, him
der the circulation and dull the eyes,
so that she who would be young and
fascinating till the fourscore year
mark must Danish all such weaknesses
But it is not only necessary to ban
ish disagreeable thoughts; one must
think agreeable, kindly things. Don't
be too critical, cultivate a calm phil
osophy of living, and see if in three
months the haggard, restless look will
not have given way to one of sweet
ness and peace.
Another great factor in acquiring
and retaining good looks is exercise.
1t may sound droll to you, but If girls
and women would only learn to run a
mile day as man in training would
do it, it would put color in their
cheeks and sparkle in their eyes, as
