How About Your Horse?

Any horse used on the road
or street should be shod, but
the shoes ought to be changed
every five or six weeks and the
feet trimmed, in order that the
natural growth of the wall may
be removed. If the shoes are
improperly allowed to remain
on the feet for two, three or
four months, and in some cases
year without changing them,
the wall becomes excessively
long and grows over the shoe.
Pressure becomes too great on
the sole and bars, resulting in
corns, bruised soles and lame
ness.
No matter how much trouble
you had with your horses
shoes we know how to remedy
the defects and make his feet
comfortable and restore the
horse to good service.

1t is not generally known that King
Georges custom of appearing with his
right hand gloved and the other bare
has its origin in something more than
a mere whim of fashion. The wearing
Of a glove on the right hand by a
monarch is distinct survival of the
days when the sovereign's touch was
held to be certain cure for all kinds
of diseases, especially scrofula.
In the days when at certain dates
1t was customary for hundreds of sick
men and mendicants of all kinds to be
laid out in the courtyard of royal
palaces awaiting the healing touch of
the "anointed of the Lord" monarchs
found it necessary to wear glove in
order to escape infection. Thus arose
the habit which during modern times
has passed into a mere fad of fashion,
the significance of which has long
been forgotten by the majority Of tho
people.

An Actors Festival.

John Manningham, student of the
Middle Temple in Shakespeare's time,
recorded how the Yuletide revels 0f
the law students in 1901 ended with a
play given in the great hall of the
Middle Temple "At our feast we had
a play called Twelve Night; or, What
Ie Will"
With actor folk Twelfth Night has
always been a favOrite festival. I'D
delay, the famous comedian, when he
died left all his money to provide
cake and wine for the yearly celebra-
tion of Twelfth Night in the green
room of the Drury Lane theater.

come together either as performers OF
as spectators in the annual all star
productions of the Twelfth Night club.

To Avoid Winter Colds,

Air baths are the latest prescription
for the seeker after health. These are
positively recommended as a magic
preventive for avoiding winter colds
At first they may seem too difficult of
accomplishment, but if one will only
try one will see how astonishing the
results are.
And the beauty of this magic air
bath is that it is simplicity itself
There is no cumbersome apparatus, no
tiresome visits of the masseuse, no
pounding and punching of an inof
fensive body. One merely has to lie
still and allow gentle breezes to blow
upon the body.
One need only expose the skin, SO
the enthusiasts say, to the air for fiji
teen or twenty minutes, half hour or
an hour night and morning to ami
hilate the hOrrid cold germs which are
everywhere ready to seize upon any
one who gets a chill and so lays her
self open to attack.
Hence the danger of drafts and wet
feet. Our usual habits give the skin
no opportunity of hardening itself.
If one would indulge in the beneti.
cial air bath one must spend twenty
minutes before retiring without ones
clothing. Then in the morning battle
and do up the hair before covering the
skin with the days clothing. These
measures alone constitute an effective
air bath and will lessen the sensibility
of the skin and liability to cold in a
few days time.
A more elaborate way for taking the
air bath is recommended by noted
physician. Select the sunniest room
in the house. If the window is over
looked by neighboring houses place a
low screen before it. Then undress,
wrap yourself in a sheet and blanket
and lie on the floor in the sunshine.

Men About Town and Drink.

1t is, | think, common experience
of the man about town that his asso-
ciates in general drink less than they
did five or ten years ago. Go into any

Der of tables, often the majority. have
no beverage but water. AS Il general
rule the waiter will not thrust the

that you probably do not want it.

restaurants many tables show no
wineglasses, whereas formerly they

distinctly the rule, even at private
dinner parties of some formality, to
serve a single wine, following the Eng

Oh smooth head and humming a gay
waltz, glide to its measures. Practice
this till you know how smoothly you
must be gliding by the cessation of
the necessity to stoop and pick up
your penny. The gain in health that
follows the steady practice of these
"stunts" will equal the gain in grace
An excellent thing it is in a loose
freely flowing lightweight garment to
waltz with the arms raised, hands held
over the head, with the finger tips
lightly touching. If you have friends
desirous of making the best of them
selves ask them to meet with you

If

Some people show a strange indiffer
ence and lack of care for the nose,
which has been correctly termed the
drawing room of the lungs, for in this
drawing room many visitors are ush-
cred, some sweet and fresh and clean
and others soiled and bedraggled, leav-
ing their dusty footprints clogged with
germs behind them.

But how many people ever think of
spraying the nose? 1t is astonishing
when one considers what harm such
carelessness works that any person
should fail to do this.
Specialists will tell you that it is alb
solutely essential to good health that
the nose should be kept clean. Yet
few noses are really clean.
The use of pocket handkerchief is
about all the care the average person
ever gives the nose. They then con-
slider that they have done their duty
by 1t. Yet they could not sleep il they
had forgotten to brush their teeth.
Many people do not realize the abso-
lutte necessity for cleanliness in the
nose, but once they comprehend it it
is an easy matter to purchase an
atomizer, get a prescription from q
doctor and see that the nose is daily
washed out. If one does not care to
