Little Business Done After Nine
O'clock and Directors Decide to
Close at Midnight.

New York-New York always likes
to regard itself as the busiest city In
the world. 1t takes itself very seri-
ously on this side, however much it
may frivol for amusement and recre-
alton. Nothing pleases a New Yorker
more than for visitor to notice the
great rush in the streets and to ex-
press admiration at the immense con
courses of people, and to protest
against the terrific congestion on the
transportation lines. Indeed, the ay-
erage New Yorker regards the physi-
cal discomfort of dense population as
a tribute to his personal sagacity and
cleverness. Give him half a chance
and he will talk volubly in statistical
terms about the tremendous volume of
business done on Manhattan island.
A few years ago a banking institu-
ton was started that appealed strong
ly to this peculiar side of the Man
hattanite. A bank was opened to run
day and night, never to close its
doors. So rushed were the people, it
was announced, that it was absolutely
necessary, in order to enable them to
get rid of their surplus cash and put
it into safe place, that an opportuni-
ty should be offered to bank at all
hours. Strangers were shown the
Night and Day bank as an evidence
that New York never sleeps. The

Since then | have advised my pa

the results have been good.
Unfortunately, boiling the milk is

'The remedy is to keep COWS calm

If one is at all sensitive to alimen-
tary irregularities milk should never
be taken unless it is certain that the
COW from which it comes was not un-
duly disturbed for at least eight hours
before she was MIXED.
Milk from COW that has been in a
violent temper or has been thorough
ly frightened, might easily have Sc
rious effect upon a child-throw his
blood out of order and upset his
nerves for a day or two. In extreme
cases it might produce pronounced
gastric trouble, very difficult to dag

occasionally to two different newspa-

An excellent remedy for bruises is a
mixture made of equal parts of cam
phor, alcohol, water and ammonia.
After a dusty trip the face should
be carefully bathed In warm water
and massaged with cold cream.
An inexpensive disinfectant for a
sick room can be inside as follows;
Put some ground coffee in saucer
and in the middle place a small piece
of camphor gum. Light the gum with
a m&tch. AS the gum allows the coffee
to burn with IT the smell is most re-
freshing.
If the diet is planned to meet the
needs of the system in warm weather
there will be little danger of disease

are caused by indiscreet eating in the

LARGE HATS AGAIN IN VOGUE
Merry Widow Left Far In the Back
ground by Increased Size of
Late Creations.

One discriminating mortal remarked
that if the elasticity of woman's dress
continue, the hat brim will measure
more than the circumference of the
skirt. 1t cannot be denied that hats
are growing larger and larger, leav-
ing the merry widow far in the back
ground. Not only are the brims in
creasing, but the sizes are accentu-
ated by hugs crowns of tulle, roses or
ribbon and by lunches of plumes or
flowers.
The untrimmed shapes are appal-
ling, but must not be taken In their
pristine glory of size.
Sometimes the wide brim is turned
completely up to the top of the
crown; frequently the shape is chang
ed by turning the brim up at both
front and back and filling the top
with maline or flowers.
The undeniable becomingness of the
one side turned up under a simple
disk of trimming is secured by many
who aim at simplicity. In this case
hatpins, quite large, are used on the
eXpanse of straw at the side.
The huge frame for the face of the
wearer does much to add picturesque
ness to costume, and does much to
detract from the effective whole If
the point of an extreme size be en-
phasized. There is a limitation for
every wearer, determined by the face
and height, Do not forget this fact
in the enthusiastic adoption of the pic
ture hat, which is always alluring-in
the case!

POINTERS ABOUT SCISSORS
How to Treat Them When Rusted-
Use the Curved Manicure Kind
for Cutting ScaIIops.

When delicate scaIlops are to be cut
out there is nothing does it so well as
a sharp pair of curved nail scissors.
The curving enables one to get into
the smallest indentations.
If children can be trusted to handle
such sharp instruments, nail scissors
are also excellent to cut out paper
dolls and their clothing.
In buying nail scissors it pays to get
the best that money can purchase.
They are hard to sharpen by amateur
methods and unless the best steel is
used in them, soon will be worthless.
1t is generally better to substitute a
more expensive pair of nail scissors
in the leather or wooden manicure
that are purchased for gifts. The
other instruments will answer nicely.
If the scissors have become slight
ly rusted, rub first with sweet oil,
then on the edge of file or emery
paper. If the rust will not yield to
oil rubbing, the blade should be i'm
mersed in oil for several hours.

How TO Feed,

Scratching is Of more Importance
than feeding, and it is not necessary
to feed them more than twice a day,
as the noon meal usually satisfies the
fowls that they will not be inclined to
scratch and the exercise. The hen
that has to hustle for part of her
living will be laying eggs while the
overfed hen is serenely digesting her
food and quietly waiting for her own
er to bring more.
By giving the hens just as much
food as they will relish in the morn
ing and scattering some small grain
in the litter, they will start scratch
ing and will keep it up until their
crops are filed.
At night they can be given all they
can eat of acceptable foods, varying
as frequently as circumstances will al
low. With the variety Of food OBJ
tainable in the summer time, even for
confined fowls, there is little excuse
for having overfed birds.
