I'VE Must Consult Brother Jonathan"

George Washington.
Brother Jonathan. next to Uncle
Sam, is the name of the best known
personification Of the United States,
the origin of which Is doubtful The
most plausible explanation derives 1t
from Jonathan Trumbu1i, Governor
of Connecticut. during the Revolution

Washington. Washington made the

This can be done by using gasoline
or any OF the excellent cleansing

Soiled ribbons should be put to

more previous to the steaming. IL
unusually dirty, a little white soap

the hands and then rinsed in clean
gasoline. When dry. they will be

better to cut the stitches and take out

When the ties are only crushed they
can be smoothed by putting them
through the steaming process. The
undesirable gloss produced by the iron
is then avoided.

Eternal applications may sometimes

at sweeping may console herself when
doing IL by the thought that she is i'm
prbv4ng both the shape OF her arms and
benefting her digestive organs.
Most persons in this country eat too
much meat. and a girl whose lun-
cheon consists OF coffee. indigestible
pastries, and fried foods, cannot eN-
pect that her face will not be greasy
or pimply. as an excess of fats causes
such disflgurements.
Food that can be cooked any other

As TO external treatment to apply
to the skin daily here are several
lotions, which. If they do not improve,
will be harmless. and therefore are
worth trying. An old remedy Is made
from two drains of iodiode of potas-
SUM, one ounce OF glycerine. and a
potasium. one ounce of giycerlne. and
pint Of rain water, or soft water.

y Ribbons are comparatively cheap,
l know, but as II is necessary they
should always look fresh and dainty
woman can spend large sum in
keeping a large enough supply of
these pretty accessories. upless she
cleans and renews them at frequent
intervals.
This cleansing Is much easier task
than formerly now that the weaves
are soft and supple. Several years
ago the thick, heavy, double faced
satins and brocades worn, IL cleaned
at home, were seldom a success, but
an amateur may safely attempt the
renovation of almost any of the rib
bons used at the present time.
One of the best aids in freshening
ribbons Is a home made continuance
for holding the hot iron while the
work of pressing Is done. For this
process get small strong box from
the grocer and nail down the cover.
! Then in the centre Of one of the sides
OF the box saw a strip about four
inches wide from top to bottom.
At the top of the box, on line
| with the cutout strip, put w"
shaped piece of wood Then cover
the top with a piece OF tin. taking 1t
down an inch or more over the sides

and turn the edges down neatly.
When the iron Is hot it is sunk into
the w. its edges resting on the tin
and the handle partly dropped into
the box. The slit is for the purpose
| of allowing the iron to be easily re-
moved,
With such an aid the work can be
conveniently done by one person. in
stead of two. as is otherwise neces-
sary. There Is no danger of scorch-
ing because the ribbons are passed
over the iron, not the iron pressed
| upon the goods.
When ribbons are only creased they
can be smoothed by steaming. To
do this lay a wet cloth over the iron
and pass the ribbon across the iron.
and the steam will make the creases
disappea II the creases are deep,
| lay the ribbon directly on the wet rag
and draw the former across the iron.
No stretching or pulling should be
done, but If the creases remain, then
that should be smoothed away by
using clean. fiat wad. While the
ribbon is steaming the wad should he
