Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please kindly tell me the
cause of ringworm and how 1 can pre-
ven tho same? WORRIED.
The Family Doctor says in regard
to ringworm: The idea that this is, as
the name implies, indicative of the
presence of an animal parasite is alto
gether erroneous. 1t is due to a~fungus
which locates itself within the hair
f~ollicles of the skin, and frequently
spreads over a considerable area. 1t is
not often met with in adults, but in
children it is common, and always ex-
tremely difficult to get rid of. 1t
radiates from a centre-hence the name
and destroys the power of the hair
bulbs to develop new hair. The best
way of treating it, provided it be rec
sognized in its earliest stage, is to appl5
acetic or carbolic acid in solution, or
strong mercuria, ointment. Before
doing this, however, the part of the

THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

The telephone girl sits in her chair
and listens to voices from everywhere;
she hears all the news, she knows who
is happy and who has the blues: she
knows all our Joys, she knows every
girl who is chasing the boys. She
knows of our troubles, she knows of
our strife, she knows every man that
is mean to his wife. She knows every
time we are out with the boys, she
hears the excuses each fellow employs,
she knows every oma who has a
dark past; she knows every man who
is inclined to be fast; if the telephone
girl would tell all she knows it would
turn all our friends into bitterest foes.
she could raise a small wind that would
soon be a gale, engulf US in trouble
and land us in Jail. She could let go a
story which, gaining force, would cause
half our wives to sue for divorce; she
could get all the churches mixed up
in a fight, and turn all our day into
Borrowing night; in fact, she'd keep
the whole town in a stew IL she'd tell
the tenth-part of the things that she
knew. Now, doesn't it make your
brain and heart whirl when you think
Of what you owe to the telephone girl?

Muslin frocks, trimmed with bands
of lace or embroidery, are among the
daintiest possible for little girls. This
one Is made with a five-gored skirt
that is gathered at the upper edge
and Joined to the full body portion.
The trimming is all arranged on in
Dictated lines, and consequently the
dress is a simple one to make. Ring
dotted muslin is the material illus
trated, but all the pretty lawns, ba-
tistes, mulls and the like are appro-
pirate. Null with lace banding would
make an exceedingly attractive dress,
Marquisette is used for little girls
dresses, also, and white marquisette
banded with lace or embroidery is
dainty in the extreme as well as emil
nently fashionable. Colored lawns and
batistes are liked as well as white,
and pink or blue with white insets
would be charming. Again, If pre-
ferred, the dress can be made high at
the neck by the addition of a yoke,
so that it means many possibilities.
For the 12-year size will be required
6ss yards of material q inches wide,
6 yards So or 3ss yards A with 10hs
yards of banding 2A inches wide and
2 yards of ruffiing.
A May Manton pattern, No. 1894, in
sizes for girls from 10 to IA years of
age, will be mailed to any address by
the fashion department of this paper
on receipt of 10 cents. or in haste
send an additional two-cent stamp for
letter postage, which insures more
prompt delivery.

To Develop the Bust

To Beauty Editor: l am so ashamed Of my
thin bust that / want TO ask you il there is
any harmless way to develop it.. Ny hips and
me rest OF my body are right for the present

that gave hope OF even three or four more
inches Development. MARY ).
The only thing / know OF that will develop
the bust without increasing the size OF the
hips. or without putting on flesh where not
needed, is a prescription put up by the DR..
Kelly co. especially for email and unde-
yeloped breasts. 1t is the discovery Of a
woman physician whose practise was largely
among her own sex and In most cases In
cresses the bust mea sure four TO six inches in
q month. Send 1oc to the Or. Kelly Co.. Dept.
so2 r A., Buffalo. n. y, and they will send
vou a trial package OF the treatment without
charge. This is said to be OF great value in
cases Of arrested development of the bust and
will give a full. beautiful form without anyone
showing that the reatment was used.
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had been weaned the breasts became
habby and shrunken, but the use OF DR..
Kelly's prescription made them full and firm.
no not use pads or bust forms, as they never
look natural and have a bad effect upon the
general health. Neither would | recommend
ordinary flesh builders or tonics, ms they in
crease the hips and limbs and with the prss-
ent styles the form should be slender every
where except a generously developed bust.

WASHING THE HANDS.


According to a German physician the
art of washing the hands is not an easy
one. To insure absolute cleanliness the
hands must be first carefully washed
with potash, soap and water, and then
with q 8 per cent solution of carbolic
acid, or one per 1000 solution of cor
rosive sublimate or chlorine water.
When the finger-nails are dry and
break easily, vaseline rubbed on after
washing the hands will do a world of
good. Manioures first battle the hands
a long time in hot water, then with
scissors and knives clean and cut the
nails, remove the superfuous k
about the nyx then polish the nails
with buckskin and fine powder, wash
ing the hand again in hot water with
soap. After drying the nails are pol
ished with a fine brush and are finally
rubbed with a rosy unguent to give
them a shell-pink.

RIBBONS POPULAR.

One of the points Of note about the
summer lingerie frocks which are be-
ing shown is the great use of ribbon
for decoration. Not in many seasons
has ribbon been so f%requnetly em-
ployed.
on the pretty embroidery and lace
gowns which are destined for seashore
and mountain wear there is often seen
a broad band of satin ribbon at the
hem. This gives a decidedly new touch
and certainly adds a bit of distinction.
One lovely gown showed a wide band
of deep violet at the hem, while a soft
fold of the same hue was caught
around the waist, under the embroid-
cry, put plainly showed through the
white meshes.
Very often there is a large knot or
rosette of some strikingly colored satin
ribbon at the side of the bodice. while
a fold of the same silken stuff glim-
mers and CLEANS under the bodice.
Sashes, too, seem to be returning to
favor, and these same gowns are often
embellished with long satin bows.

Nails.


Dear Miss Doom:
l have just moved into a new house.
My furnishings are all new, and | want
it to be kept in a 'new-looking" con-
dition as long as possible. Now there
are always small things that one likes
to put up In the kitchen and bath
room, requiring nails to hold them in
place, on which to put towels, etc, Do
you know of any way or anything to
put on the nails by which l could
drive them in without leaving rusty
marks when pulled out? Any advice
will be greatly appreciated by
A. A. n,
Nails used in bathrooms and kitchens
on which damp cloths, towels, etc, may
be hung should be painted with enamel
This will not hinder them from being
driven in easily, but will allow them
to come out free of leaving a rusty

CANTHROX MAKES
BEAUTIFUL HAIR

In a very interesting article on THE
Care of the Hair in the Los Angeles
Globe. Mrs. Mae Martyr, the noted au-
thority on beauty topics, says: "Of all
the shampoo preparations on the mar
ket-and l have probably tried every
one-I find only one that gives perfect
satisfaction. That shampoo is made by
dissolving a t~easpoonful of plain cam
throx in a cup of hot water.
This shampoo is inexpensive and
will be appreciated by every woman
who washes her own hair. The lather
;s abundant, cleanses dirt and dandrun
nerfectly, rinses easily and dries very
quickly, making the process OF shain-
nooing very simple and easy.
"Canthroxs improves the lustre OF the
hair and leaves it fluffy, soft and per
fectly clean. Dandruff and scalp irri-
tstion disappear Immediately after isa

BEAUTY TIPS.


u never forget my physical exercises
when I rise in the morning" says the
pretty woman.
AT first you think these exercises an
awful bother, but after three days or
so the worry vanishes and you go
through them mechanically, and in a
month's time you will feel much bet
ter.
Wake up gradually. Do not spring
out of bed all in a minute, as a child
of 3 ears old is apt to do. Then
get out of bed and begin by stretching
the arms up above the head, singly or
together, then towards the back, front
and sides, bend the elbows, throw the
shoulders back, rotate the upper part
of the body with the feet firmly planted
on the floor; two minutes by the clock
will be wanted for this.
II follow these movements by a cold
tub and spray. But l advise very few
women, only quite the strong ones. to
take any than a warm bath. After her
bath let her throw on a dressing gown
and rest just a very few moments be-
fore she finishes dressing. When she is
dressed let her go through some breath
ing exercises of the open window,
drawing in The fresh air very slowly
and fully through the mouth and
emitting it by the nostrils. then again
and again through the mouth. So will
colds vanish and pinker cheeks and
brighter eyes appear.
"Spasmodic efforts. either of diet OF
exercise, are absolutely, without last
ing results. Plenty of water. air, sun
shine, and simple foods come first; ex-
ternal remedies, such as creams and
lotions, come second.
