this community. The hospital
starts out under most favorable au-
spices, with splendid equipment for
the comfort and accommodation of
patients.
The only thing lacking for the
proper conduct Of the institution is
a sufficient endowment or ample con
tributions to put the hospital on
sufficiently satisfactory basis. This
is partly provided for by appropria,
tions by the Lexington Town Coun-
Gil and Rockbridge Board of Super
visors of $50 per month each for
operating expenses, giving the man
agement Il monthly income of $50.
Investments will bring in an addi-
tional So 80 per month. Plans are
under way for additional funds.
Many patients will be able to pay
for services at the hos pital. 1t is
estimated that it will require from
$3.50 to 5000 per month to operate
the hospital successfully, and in a
way co meet the wants of our com
munity.
The services of Miss Lucy Hamil-
ton OF Kerr'S Greek, a graduate
nurse of a st. Louis o-piial, a.

What are the best games for chill
dren to play? is a question that often
perplexes parents. Which games pro-
vide the best exercise? Are rough"
games bad for them? Ought girls in
particular to take up games that are
at all 'rough?"
A medical man declared the other
day that the best exercise was prob
ably obtained by boxing, lawn tennis
and football Because these games
exercise all the muscles, and the
drawback of most of the sports, drills
and gymnastics children go in for at
school is that one set of muscles is
brought into action and the others
left idle.
Tennis, of course, is the only one OF
these sports that a girl would go in
for, but running, walking and skip
ping are also admirable for bringing
ali the muscles into play. In fact,
any game that encourages child to
| move freely land rapidly. and which
brings into play the muscles of the
| limbs and body is good

A SMART SCHOOL FROCK
= BY MAY MANTON

The Norfolk costume is among the
smartest of suits for the fall, and is
to be worn by both the young folks
and the grown-ups. This suit shown
is both smart and practical and is
easy to make. The coat is cut in
front and back portions so that there
are only the shoulder and under-arm
seams. There are box plaits at front
and back that give the long, slender
lines that are so desirable and there
is an applied yoke that can be
omitted or used as liked. The
sleeves are the regulation two-piece
coat sleeves and they are finished
by straps that are attached at about
cuff depth from the hands. The
patch pockets are especially smart.
The skirt is a straight plated one
cut all in one piece. In the illustra-
tion the suit is made of white serge
with a collar of black velvet, but II
something more serviceable is want
ed blue serge or one of the pretty
mixed suitings would be excellent.
For the early season, linen in white
or color would be very satisfactory
for this model.
For the 10-year size the suit will
require 5A yards of material 81, Az
yards SO or 31s yards A or 81 inches
vide. with u yard of velvet for the
collar.
The May Manton pattern of the
suit 1886 is cut in sizes for girls of
s, 10 and 12 years. 1t will be mailed
to any address by the fashion de-
partment of this paper on receipt of
ten cents.

Treatment for Freckles

Dear MISS Doom:
Can you give me formula for a cream
These are summer freckles. Thanking
you, | remain, l.. X.
The fact that freckles appear only
on delicate skins makes the problem
of their removal difficult because any
thing that tends to bleach is apt to
make the surface more susceptible.
Constant use of buttermilk as a wash
Is we'll recommended. 1t is both soft
ening and bleaching. Some people
find that fresh horseradish, grated,
adds potency to the application. Put
tablespoonful of the root into half
a pint of the butfermilk, cover the
milk and let it stand for twelve hours.
Strain 1t. apply 1t as a bleach and let
it dry on.
Other remedies recommended are:
O Two ounces of Tactic acid
one ounce of glycerine and half an
ounce of rose water Apply this morn
ing and night and several times dur
ing the day and let it dry on. Should
it seem to irritate the skin, an effect
the acid may have, dilute 1t by adding
more glycerine or applying cold cream
afterward. (2) Fifty grams of rose
water, two and half grams of pow
dered borax. two grams of spirits OF
'camphor and two and a half grams OF
tincture of benzoin. This Is used as
the first and is said to be an excellent
complexion wash, even when freckles
are not present. (3) Some people find
plain lemon juice very effective as a
freckle remover.
In using any of these remedies be
very careful to watch the effect on
the skin. What agrees with one will
| not always agree with another.

Never mix the white and dark
meat of chicken if you are making
sandwiches. They are much nicer If
made separately. If you wish to go
to the trouble, toast your bread and
put the white meat, sliced very thin,
spread with salad dressing. over 1t
place another piece of toast and upon
this another lettuce leaf with salad
dressing and crisp slice of broiled
bacon.
A bacon sandwich is very palata-
BILE. and If one Is fond of 1t a piece
of calfs liver chopped with the
bacon makes a delectable filling for
white bread sandwiches.
Soup meat with the addition of
1 salad dressing and ofttimes bit of
| carrot that has been boiled In the
| soup is very tasty with white bread.
OF course, all kinds of jams and
| jellies can be used for the sweet
sandwiches with white bread. And
a fried egg sandwich is looked upon
by some children as a veritable
| goody If you must use hard-boiled
eggs, cut them in slices, sprinkle
them with chopped parsley, little
lemon juice and paprica, or add a
little chopped pimento. This filling
| should be used only with white
| bread.
| Don't forget to have just plain
bread and butter once in while.

To Clean Fountain and Show
case

NdSC
Dear Miss Doom:
Kindly tell me how can clean a white
marble fountain; also how to keep 1t per-
feetly white. Can you tell me of some
mixture to clean the silver around show
cases-something without acid? Thank
ing you in advance, l remain, ANNA.
The actions of acids, viz, sulphuric,
carbonic, citric, phosphoric, Tactic,
etc, or the fumes emitted therefrom,
employed in carbonating and dispens-
ing soda water, attacking the marble,
is very injurious to it's polish. The
front of the apparatus, the marble
slabs. ETC., exposed to the spattering
of the soda water in which one of
these acids is present should be
rirsed with water Immediately and
afterward rubbed quickly with clean
soft cloth until perfectly dry. Under
no circumstances apply oil or soap to
white marble Stone of this descrip-
ton should be washed frequently with
pure water and afterwards rubbed
briskly with a clean chamois until 1t
assumes a glossy appearance.
II the marble is stained with grease,
wash 1t thoroughly with warm water
and soda, then apply oxalic acid by
laying a piece of white cotton cloth
saturated with the acid upon the
spots for a short time. If 1t destroys
the polish, repolisb with oxide of tin
and water applied with a cloth. If
the stains are not deep, rub only the
surface with a cloth moistened with
oxalic acid and water and wash
quickly and thoroughly to free the
marble of the acid. To give the marble
a gloss, rub it with chalk wet with
water
In cleaning silver or any polished
metallic surface, 1t is very essential
to keep the polishing material, as well
as the rubbing cloths, chamois, ETC..
in closed box, where they cannot
gather dust. One single grain of sand
NAV produce a scratch that hours
of faithful labor cannot obliterate.
French whiting forms a very good
silver polish. .Sift the whiting
through a hair sieve orba piece of
muslin to. guard against anything
gritty that might scratch the silver
and then wet it with water, or, II
the silver is badly discolored, wet the
whiting with alcohol. This produces
brilliant polish.
THE following is well recommended
90 nolish for silverware: Put four
ounces of French whiting into pint
of soft water and boil 1t. When 1t
is COOL bottle it and add one ounce
of aqua ammonia. Rub the silver
with a cloth wet with this mixture
and polish with chamois skin.

And beyond the mere schooling of

The mere physical act of making

your grief and give you strength to

GAMES FOR CHILDREN

, game as football or tennis, which
provide more constant exercise.
The great point is that children
should enjoy their school games. The
more fun a child gets out of game
the more good it does him. Il
One danger of games. of course. Is
that the child may be overstrained or
overfatigued; but it is not difficult to
! see If a boy Is excessively tired on
football day, or if a girl shows signs
of lassitude and exhaustion after
hockey; and if so, of course, they
must be induced to go in for less
strenuous games.
After a game a child is generally
/ thirsty This is perfectly natural, be-
cause during the exercise the natural
| fluid of the body evaporates. The
popular idea is that it is dangerous tp
drink when the body is heated. and
| that the children should cool Off
first. But there is really no danger
in children drinking water, nowevsr
hot they may be. provided they do moi
gulp 1t down. If they take it IN sips
it will not hurt them.
| Children's fare should always re-
ceive attention at this time of year.
Bar anything heavy, porridge, suet
puddings, etc, should be given up fer
/ a time. and stewed fruit, junket and
custard served in their place.
When fresh eggs or fish are pro-
vided for breakfast, with plenty OF
bread and butter, with a mug Of milk
and cocoa, porridge can be dispensed
| with.
At this time of the year the appetite
is apt to be a little uncertain. and q
plate of porridge first thing in TIN
morning simply turns child from hi
breakfast altogether.

In order, to become a good judge
of meats 1t Is helpful to have a few
lessons from an experienced buyer.
The different cuts will thus be easily
learned, but the quality of the meat
depends on SO many factors, as the
age of the animal, the breed and the
method of fattening that it is easy
to make mistakes in choosing, and
the buyer will often be wise in ac-
cepting information from the dealer,
If he is one who prides himself on
keeping first-class meats.
Having found such a one the GUS
toner who wishes to save time and
money will continue to buy of him.
The very large amount of meat which
some housekeepers provide is not
necessary. In general it is better to
use reasonable amount of that
which is in prime condition, rather
than to economize on the quality.
The meat is easily supplemented by
other dishes, and the whole meat
will thus be better balanced than
