TAKE TIME TO REST EYES
Toe Clos, Application to Very Fine
Sewing 10 Something Always
to Be Avoided.

If there Is much sewing to do-and
at this season of the year there Is

care that her eyes are not strained or
allowed to become overtired by close
application to the stitching Of seams.
working of b~uttonholes and the thou.
sand other tasks that are necessary
when dressmaking Is being done.
For that reason, always be careful,
when working on dark materials, to
wear a ~light-colored apron and spread
a white cloth on the work table. II
you are working by an artificial light,
q white cloth on the table will be
found to increase the light to an
appreciable extent; thus the strain
on the eyes will not be so great.
On the other hand, If you are work
ing on white or very li~ght-colored ma
~ter1als, a dark cloth thrown over the
lap will reduce the strain on the eyes.
If needles having elongated eyes are
used, they will be easier to thread
than those with round eyes. Wnen
the eyes become very tired, you will
find relief in looking out Of the win
dow at a distant view, OF at a picture
at a distant view, or ashrdhrdlhrluu
OF a landscape that has distance In 1t
down a long road shaded with over
hanging trees or ovcr the hills to dis
tant mountains.
Leaning the head back against the
chair and covering the eyes with q
cold compress will often relieve eye
strain and eye headache, which is the
result of sewing on fine materials or
intricate stitchery in fine lace making
where the crochet hook Is used.
Take care Of your eyes; they ara

do If you should lose your sight?"

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

A calm mind invariably shows Itself

there Is NO surer preventive of Wr1nr

There should never be any undue
pressure on the throat, especially for
full blooded persons. Anything thar
retards the circulation in the large ar
terry that carries the blood to the head
should be avoided. Dress the throat
loose enough to allow free movement
OF the head.
A New York skin specialist says:
Had I to choose between the COOK

ment to yoke myself with the former"
He goes on to say that 1.-THE board

IN KITCHEN
MODERN INNOVATIONS DO AWAY
WITH MUCH LABOR.
flmo-savlng Appliances Have Been
introduced and Become General
Flreiess Cook Stove Proves
Genuine Boon.

Nowadays the men who make
things have turned their attention to
providing the home. and especially
the kitchen, with as efficient labor and
time saving appliances and tools al
an up-to-date factory can boast. The
modern kitchen can be a thing of
beauty and a Joy even to the oma
who works in It. SO great have been
the improvements made.
Take, for instance, the evolution OF
the ireless cook stove, a miracle work
Ing continuance which banishes heat,
steam. smells and standing over the
stove watching the slow, tedious cook
ing process.
Lined with seamless aluminium, rust
proof, tarnish proof and durable uten.
sils to use with 1t, and a cunningly
contrtved steam valve attachment
which allows the roasting Of meats
and fowls, the baking Of bread and
pies, as we'll as boiling and stewing.
1t is indeed a wonderful convenience.
All that Is necessary ia to heat the
soanstone radiators either on a gas
or electric stove. Then the food.
meats, vegetables, or whatever Is to
be cooked-cooks Just as It is, and
1t is forgotten until the clock says it
should be done.
1t probably isn't known that every
branch and variety of the cooking art
can be successfully employed with the
fireless cook stove.
Tho orlfar ,ooJofa - than1 xoo1,
ers showed a very cumbersome box
that took up a lot Of space in a small
kitchen, but they have now been re-
duced to occupy waste space, and
some OF the later designs show them
swinging on hinges under the kitchen
table, where they may be pushed out
Of sight and out Of the way while the
rest OF the meal Is being prepared.
Another innovation for kitchen eff
cheney is a porcelain table with round
ed corners and edges, which Is seam
less, unbreakable and unchippable,
and at once becomes a molding board
for pie baking or a meat board or
bread board for cooking and slicing.
This Is far superior to the old wood
en- table tops which became the cat ch-
all" for crease and other substances,
owing to the surface being sco..ed
from knife blades while preparing
meals.
The best thing OF all about a kitchen
table Of this kind is that 1t can be
kept spotlessly clean-really hygienic-
ally clean-by wipin9 OF with q hot
wet cloth.

Hyaisnio Clothing For Young Girls

Hyaisnio Clothing For Young Girls.
Young girls particularly. says
q writer In Physical Culture, are
subject to the baneful effects Of
unsuitable. unhygienic and con-
stricting garments. The sensible
mother will under no circum-
stances attempt to give the dress
Of her twelye-year-old daughter
the semblance of u mature wo-
mans. True 1t Is that since the
worlds history began girls of
unripe years have sought to
cIothe themselves In the same
as mature members of
their sex they have admired and
envied. but In years gone by par
ents were possessed of too much
common sense to acquiesce In
such demands on the part of
their daughters. 1t Is not too
much to say that the difference
that exists between the latter
day American woman-and even
the wife and mother Of today
and the women Of a generation
past Is due largely to the differ
emf methods which are followed
In their training and In their
clothing before their sixteenth
year.
