The bin Is that hy which the city of Hart ford Is permitted to take the water of the Nepaug river in the town of New Hartford, one of the tributaries of the Farmingtou river. for a municipal wa ter supply Two years ago it was defeated

One Of the most useful persons In the
great city Of New York is Miss Wini-
fred Gibbs, expert dietarian. Miss
Gibbs shows women Of the working
class how they may expend their mea-
ger incomes to the best advantage In
the purchase Of food. Miss Gibbs on
request supplies a family with sugges-
tons as to what food is most suited for
their needs and how 1t should be cook
ed In order to retain its nourishment.
Many a poor housewife struggling with
the problem of how to reconcile her In
come with the hard facts of the high
cost Of living has reason to bless Miss
Gibbs. Many a workingman owes his
better health and increased efficiency
to the well cooked and sustaining food
which through her instructions his wife
Is enabled to provide out of his slender
income. Children In the public schools
are enabled to do better work because
their mothers each morning can thus
provide them with a good breakfast.
This adding to the well being and COM
fort of many people and indirectly en-
ergizing the work Of the city Is no
meal achievement for one little wo-
man.
Miss Gibbs does her work under the
auspices Of the New York Society For
the Improvement Of the Condition Of
the Poor. Every day she goes among
the homes Of the tenements, where she
Is known only as the visiting cook.
Those who know how eagerly most wo-
men swap" recipes will not be sur
prised to learn that almost invariably
her appearance In the tenements Is
hailed with pleasure. For several years
she has been doing her work, and grad
ually the report Of it, spreading to 9TH
er communities, Is leading to the estab-
l1shment of similar dietary work for the
poor.

the bag Is half full
Run q tub quarter full Of hot water
and put the bag In 1t several minutes
before 1t Is to be used. After soaking
squeeze well until the water is brown

Do not stay too long In this bath
! and rest for fifteen minutes afterward.
In cases Of extreme nervousness the
rest is followed by a brisk rubbing
with cocoa butter.
