Physical Exercises Not All.
Now, these people are exercising vio-

champions in the race for health.
But more than that is needed. Physi-

and physical groove which is not good for
the health of mind or body.
II you want to be healthful, get out OF
the rut.
Almost every one gets into runt of
some kind and stays there.
You are in a rut IL you are always
doing the same thing day in and day

while you do them.
You don't have to live in this rut, no

REVIVAL OF POWDERED
HAIR SEEMS POSSIBLE

An attempt is being made in Paris to
revive the fashion Of powdered hair. at
any rate for women. Two pretty girls
with their hair powdered white beneath
black hats, surmounted with white
aigrettes, appeared last week at the Au-
teuil race meeting. They looked very
charming. and had what the French call
"a success of curiosity.
The inventor of this mode is confident
CT success. He has received. he says,
nothing but congratulation. He admits
that the new couture requires regular
features and a graceful figure, but then

However, a rival OF his is just as con-
fident that the new fashion will not
catch on. 1T presents too many draw
backs" he says. the chief being that 1t
Is Just possible" he thinks, that 1t may
be taken up. for evening wear for the
theater. dinner, and drawing-rooms. AS

For the Children.

Apple water makes an excellent drink
and especially for children. 1t may be
made with six apples of the juicy kind
one quart of boiling water, and some
white sugar After the apples have been
cleaned without having the peel or core
removed they should be cut into thin
slices and placed in large jug. To them
add a few pieces of lemon rind which
has been cut very thinly. Now pour one
quart of boiling water on and add the
white sugar to sweeten the whole The
result should be strained when 1t Is cold.
