Clean pots and pans
with
GOLD DUST

Germs Of decay accumulate
on oft-used pots and pans, and
ordinary soap and water only
cleans off the surface.
Gold Dust does the work
and does it right. 1t digs deep
after germs, cleans like a new
whistle and leaves your pots
and pans as bright as the day
they were new-and sani-
tarily safe.
Gold Dust does this work in
just half the time required by
soap or. any other cleanser.
Does it better, too.
Gold Dust cleans everything

How to Be Graceful.

II you want to be graceful, don't
look at your feet, but hold your head
up in the air. Don't shuttle. A little
thoughtfulness and practice in high
stepping soon breaks you of this ugly
habit. Don't bend your back at the
waist under the impression that you
are thereby working erect. 1t throws
the stomach forward and is almost as
inimical to grace as round shoulders.
Finally, don't allow yourself to walk
"pigeon-toed"-that is, with the toes
turned In or straight. You can never
be graceful in movements while you
do.

SHAMPOO FOR THE JOURNEY
Simple Preparation That 10 Little
Trouble to Carry and VIII
Prove Great Comfort.

Every woman has known the misery
of needing q shampoo after a journey
and not being able to have 1t at once
because OF q lack Of facilities. The
hot and cold water may be handy, Dut
not the shampoo medium. So prepare
this before you leave home and carry
It along in tightly-stoppered bottle
a three-ounce vial would do. Boil cas-
tile soap shaved to a pOwder-about
two heaping tablespoonfuls-in O lit
tie water, putting in about two salt
spoonfuls OF washing soda. When get
ting ready to wash the hair massage
a wee bit OF cold cream into the scalp,
then slightly wet the hair and work
in the soap jelly or llquid-into the
scalp of course. Rinse as usual, try
ing to keep the successive waters at
an even temperature. 1t is the sudden
change from hot to cold water which
makes the hair harsh as 1t Is so often
found to be after the most careful
shampoo. The reason given by the
beauty people for boiling the soap
used In shampoos is that this prepa-
ration makes 1t still more bland; II
the hard cake is rubbed directly upon
the hair It is bound to be harsh and
less bright than II the head is wash
ed by a regularly-prepared soap as

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum.
mer So Pronounced That II
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers Of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part OF July last summer will be
interested in the success OF the baby
tent" scheme adopted In some OF the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fat roofs OF
tall buildings and In open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots In each
tent. When all was ready mothers
of babies under two years we're invited
to leave them at-the nearest available
tent over night. so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege OF sleeping out Of doors, could
also receive the attention Of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some OF the tents have q perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton It greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some OF the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks OF Ice In tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some Of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
Ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart
