NEW RECIPE FOR BEAUTY,

Dc HoS Soo9n ~ You Wish to NoFNaI in
Young.
A new plan for attaining or retain
ing beauty comes out on the average
once 4 week, and some of the sugges-
tiOns are sufficiently weird, but one
recently Offered has certainly not been
surpassed In strangeness, says the New
York Times London correspondent.
1t is simply that the person who de-
sires to remain Young should refrain
from laughter. You must, according
to q lady who described the system,
choose between looks and laughter.
The two cannot 90 together. Laugh
ing lines wrinkles the face.
There has lately sprung up in Lon
don q set of expressionless women"
she added. These women-there are
from fifty to eighty o. them at the
moment-steadily refuse to laugh at
anything. They are all. more or less
forty years old woman's dangerous
age-and 1t is their daily belief that
by refrainlnS from laughing they are
retaining their books.

USEFUL INFORMATION.

A good treatment for soiled coat col
lars is naphtha applied with brush.
Dip the brush in naphtha until thor
oughly saturated, then give the spot or
CRIME few brisk rubs. The most del
icate velvet will yield to this treat
ment.
A teaspoonful Of peroxide Of hydro
gen in a half tub of cold water is a
splendid bleach for lingerie and white
clothes. Let the clothes remain in the
water overnight and after rinsing wash
in the usual way.
To remove white spots from furni-
ture dip a cloth in hot water nearly to
boiling point. Place over the spot, re-
move quickly and rub the spot with a
dry cloth. Alcohol or camphor quickly
applied may be used.
To prevent glassware from being cas-
lily broken put in kettle Of cold
water, heat gradually until water has
reached boiling point. Set aside and
when water is cold take out glass.

GERANIUM AS A BAROMETER.
II Will Indicate Whether Living Condi-
tion Of Room is Sanitary.

Experiments carried out by Louis
Withhold and Professor William Albert
Locy of Northwestern university show
that growing plant is barometer of
the living conditions of room and
none more so than the old fashioned
gcranium. Almost all kinds of plants
require the same things to sustain life
as human beings. but show lack of
these necessities quicker. so that their
ill health and whiting may give warn
ing of the unhealthy living condition
of Il ROOM
In order to live a plant must have
water, Of course. and light in most
cases, but few realize that 1t must have
air to breathe as well, for there is res
piration in plants as well as in human
beings. Plants breathe the air through
the leaves, and much of their susie.
nance comes from that medium. II the
air in room is too dry, as in most
steam heated rooms, there is difficulty
in making some plants live. The air
lacks something that they must have
