Il know why 1 feel 81 wretchedly," heard a woman say the
Sther day. 1T isn't the hot weather at all It's just because I've been
packing my days again. The doctor told me that if l didn't get over that
tabt I'd be in a sanitarium in six months, and did reform for awhile,
but guess I'm at it again.
Are you ne of those unfortunate people who have the habit of
packing their days?
You know what 1 mean, of course,-panning every hour, arranging
3r every moment, packing every instant full of plans.
l don't mean wholly plans for work. They may be plans for social
obligations Or for pleasures: 1t isn't the character of what you do that
It's the sense of being obliged to do this and that and to get it done
Ut such and such a time.

and throw the whole day out.

Life is ptfuly short and to those of is who have very many inter-

But life was not meant to be used that way, as most of us learn

Channinu the HaIr Line.

Changing the RAN Llne.
So much has been said of the folly
of changing the couture to suit each
passing style that the other side is apt
to be overlooked. Hair a be worn
too continuously in n style, and If a
woman is not careful she may find
herself without any hair on the top Of
her head in the place where the hair
ought TO grow.
The girl who thinks she looks pic
turesque with parted hair should oc-
c~asionally take weeks off for a pompa-
dour unless she wants a broad path

Mllady's
Mirror
Hot Water as a Ionic.

Drinking a cup Of hot water is a
more eficacious treatment for many
ills than some persons realize. There
are physicians who prescribe it for in
active. livers, a glassful to be taken as
soon as one wakes in the morning. The
warmth as well as the liquid are bene-
fetal, for it is a we'll known fact that
few persons drink as much water
through the day as they should.
That the dose affects the complexion
favorably there is no doubt. Some per-
sons add the Juice of half a lemon to
the water. There is no doubt that for
certain systems this is beneficial, but
It Is a matter that a physician should
decide in individual instances.
Many a case Of simple indigestion
may be cured by drinking a cup Of
hot water, the dose to be taken as
soon as there is any sense Of discom-
fort Adding a half teaspoonful Of BIZ
carbonate of soda Is recommended by
some physicians where there Is pro-
uOuUceu dclUlty VI tue StOuudSus lho
soda acting as a n~eutralizer, while the
warm liquid carries the matter from
the stomach.
Persons who are dieting for reduc-
ton find hot water more thirst quench-
ing than cold, and they therefore can
get along comfortably with a smaller
quantity. That water taken with food
is fattening there Is no doubt.
Hot water is an excellent substitute
for tea for persons made nervous by
the beverage and on certain occasions
may be used as a food substitute.
If for any reason there is q desire
to get along with the least quantity of
food and the stomach becomes empty,
hot water is soothing and fills the void,
so that for a time a feeling of faint
ness is obviated.
1t is in no way a food, however, and
should not be regarded as such.

Quick Ways Of Applying Initials to the
Family Garments.

Family Garments.
When living IN a boarding house Or
anywhere that washing must be sent
to the laundry mark It with the full
name. The easiest way to DO this IS
to overcast firmly to the garment q
small stamped label marked with
the name and address. These can be
bought by the hundred quite cheaply.
When marking is only for the pur-
pose of distinguishing the belongings
of various members Of the family a
single initial Is enough. The quickest
way to put this on stockings or any
where that writing cannot be done Is
to work an initial in chain stitch, US
ing q red cotton.
Some mothers Of large families mark
all n child's belongings in blue, an
other in red, and so. on, that they can
be quickly sorted by color.
To prevent the running Of ink that

Another method is to put the gar

hoop and hold 1t taut with the other
ring. The smallest sized hoops can be
bought for this purpose and kept with
the marking ink.

ADVERTISING TALKS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

shape of news or advertising :"
Nobody will deny that this is
true-therefore, while it is
tempting sometimes to print adj
vertisements that bring in large
chunks of revenue, the right
publisher will consider first his
RESPONSIBILITY to his read
ers.
1t is because so many publish
ers are appreciative of their re-
sponsibility that there is TIRE
MENDOUS MOVEMENT in the
kind of advertising that is being
placed before the people through
newspapers and other publica-
tons.
Don't you see what RESPON-
SIBILITY there is back of any
publication?
7 THE ADVERTISING COL
UMNS TO-DAY DISCUSS
ALMOST EVERY KNOWN
SUBJECT.
They TELL ABOUT NEW
INVENTIONS-new methods Of
doing business-they tell about
art, the drama, electricity and
it's manifold uses, music, litera-
ture, food--in fact everything.
Now, if among these instruc-
tive advertisements is inserted
here and there something that
children should not see, the
whole value of the advertising
structure in the publication Is
lost, because the right sort of
man and woman will not let their
children read any publication
that is not just as careful about
the kind of news printed in the
advertising columns as the kind
of news printed in the news COL
