Prickly Heat.

The annoyance resulting from prickly
heat can only be realized by the unfor-
tunate summer sojourner in places where
a cooling breeze from the water or the
mountains does not soothe the body. Chill
dren are the greatest sufferers, though
grown-up folks by no means escape this
discomfort.
Foods that do not generate heat are
the only resource of the person subject
to this complaint. The use of any liquid
containing alcohol must be discontinued,
as must all the heavier meats, such as
beef, pork and mutton. Rich and highly
seasoned foods. including pastries. sauces
and the like, are strictly tabooed. Indiges-
ton is the source of the trouble in many
cases. The liver should be kept active
and in smooth running order.
But what will l eat?" complains the
sufferer, glancing over the list of
"don'ts.''
Eat fish, eggs. poultry. green vege-
tables, not the starchy variety; thin soups
and fruit with the single exception of
A small teaspoonful of cream of tartar
in half a pint Of water is an excellent
cooling drink when slipped slowly. Do
not take more than three glasses of this
mixture, and then only at five-hour in
tervals.
Soda baths will often relieve aggra-
waited itching Use two pounds of bicar-
Donate of soda in q tub of tepid water
and submerge the entire body for fifteen
to twenty-five minutes. Such a bath
should not be taken oftener than once
day.
Take as little exercise as possible and
let the assurance that the more you rub
the irritated spots the faster they will
spread and pain restrain the impulse to
obtain temporary relief by violent con-
tact with the hands.

Youth and Old Age.

There Is no old age in the present day
No longer does grandma sit by the fire
sewing, with spectacles and cap. while
her grandchildren play at her knee, and

old people sit still by the fire nowadays
unless they be very old indeed and un-
able to do anything else. Nowadays they
are about all day, and most of the night
enjoying life, seeking pleasure. discover

One Woman's Way.

"A new dish every day. was the self
imposed rule of a young wife who found
herself in possession Of a cozy home and
plenty Of time. The odd part of the de-
cision was that she had never cooked
before in her life, but the shining new
kitchen was an Inspiration she could not
resist, much to the delight of her hus-
band and friends. She purchased sew
eral of the best cook books on the market
preparatory to laying a scientific founda-
ton for her culinary education. She
studied ingredients and proportions. and
she haunted newsstands for papers and
magazines publishing recipes. In the
end she developed into a real wizard of
things culinary and she formed a per-
feet passion for developing original
dainties that would have sent the most
blase of epicures into an ecstasy OF en-
joyment. She has discovered that possi-
bilities of food combinations are practi-
cally inexhaustible, and so is still pursu-
ing the rule of something new every
day"-a rule entailing very little extra
work and lots of enjoyment.

me the reins. lit is q wonderfully fine
day for driving.
The stableman was very pale with the
pallor of those who do not have enough
sunlight-a pallor that suggested the
sickness of cellar-raised plants. His
shoulders stopped. A heavy stubble of
neglected beard covered his face. His eyes
were sunken. He sent me out into the
beautiful day with shadow on my heart
that the sunshine could not chase away.

boots should be placed with the heavier

il. Just now our slim little garments
make it possible for us to carry more in
small space than We have ever done be-

her brother. go far afield with one bag
and perhaps little handbag for nee
cessaries of the journey If 1t is TO be

should be given up to frocks, blouses and

Don't be afraid-so long as the folds are

Just a Few Minutes To
Shampoo This Way

To-day fewer women than ever be-
fore depend on the hairdresser for
shampooing," writes Mrs. Mae Mar
tyn, in the Los Angeles News. The
reason for this" she continues, is
because of the almost general use OF
canthrox for cleansing scalp and hair.
"A teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water is enough
for a good shampoo. This should be
poured on the head slowly and the
scalp rubbed briskly. The rich lather
neutralizes the oil and loosens dust
and dandruff, After rinsing, the scalp
is sweet and clean, while the hair
dries very quickly and is left glossy,
fluffy and easy to do UP. So little
time and labor is required with can
throx that shampooing is a positive
delight"

The summer season has seen the re-

hot fire on a summers day is heart
breaking; every won an knows it, If you
wash with Fels-Naptha you don't need
hot fire. Boiling is unnecessary.
Fels-Naptha will clean the clothes bet

than any other means. That is why
Fels-Naptha is not only soap, but

No boiling. No hard rubbing on a wash

Makes your white clothes whittier and

way: Wet the things, soap freely with
Fels-Naptha, let them soak for thirty
minutes; then rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
Sounds easy. doesn't it? And it is easy
If you have tried it, you know. If you
