Here's Simple Rules
For Enjoying Health

The man or woman who eats only
what is universally recognized as whole
some food and that not giuttonously;
who keeps regular hours and gets suf-
ficient sleep; who sees to 1t that the
water supply is ample and reasonably
good end is properly employed for
cleanliness, and that the lungs are ade-
quately and constantly supplied with
fresh air-that person will enjoy more
than average good health.
The health will be above the average
because to do all these simple and easy
things, habituaIIy and consistently, re-
quires higher quality Of sober common
sense and a greater aspiration toward
real human decency than the average Of
mankind posses. But the habit OF act
ing with common sense and human de-
cency may be cultivated 1t is a mental
and moral quality that strengthens with
practice.
And the way TO have good health is
not to permit attention TO be fixed upon
such trivialttes as house flies or mos
Quitoes or drinking cups as IL incesSant
care about these were a panacea whose
use Is bound to secure health and happi-
ness. They way to have good health Is
first to use just ordinary sense in eat
ing, drinking, and sleeping: then, II pos
sfble, to keep q clean conscience; and,
third. to elevate your thoughts a trifie
shove bedbugs, and other vermin that
haunt the hooks and crannies OF the
hypochondriac mind.

tended to be used as a trimming for the
chiffon waists that will be part OF
every woman's wardrobe this fall and
winter. They give that soft and vague
effect 10 the diaphanous material that
is so much sought after this season.
The price was 81 and SEC a yard, but
as very little of the lace Is needed for
trimming. 1t is not expensive at these
prices.
The large black velvet hat will be
more popular than ever this season. In

For the woman who likes odd bits Of
queer jewelry. a store 'on the north side
Of street, between Twelfth and Thir-
