FIRST YEARS MOST IMPORTANT
Physically and Mentally a Child Is
Molded for Its Future Life in
the Nursery.

Care should always be taken that a
baby's finger nails Pre- cut carefully,
though he should not see the scissors
If possible, as he may be frightened
and shrink away from them. The nails
should be cut straight across, so as to
prevent any tendency to grow inward
and thus become painful, whether on
the hands or feet.
Simplicity of thought and life is the
keynote of health In childhood. The
more animal an existence the child
leads in his babyhood the better he
will be in the end. The less he knows
before seven the more he is likely to
know after seven, say many doctors.
and forcing is the very worst thing
that can be done for him. The nerv-
Gus system is the point of least re-
s~istance in most children. For this
reason it is of the greatest Importance
that the child be kept from nerve
strain.
Don't threaten a child with any

She Married Him,

In a well-known colored school in
the south the lesson in general his
tory one day was on the life of Queen
Elizabeth.
Thomas. did Queen Elizabeth ever
marry?" asked the teacher.
Yes, ma'am, l think she did" re-
piled Thomas.
Are you quite sure?"
Yes, ma'am, the book says she
did"
1T does? Will you please find ito"
Whereupon Thomas opened to the
lesson and to the great amusement of
the teacher read the statement that
Queen Elizabeth was married to her
realm"
There" said he, triumphantly.
doesn't it say she was married? l
don't exactly know who the gentleman
was, but it certainly says she married
him"

CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in n Of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee did for him. (Tea is just as
injurious because it contains caffeine.
the same drug found in coffee.)
my wife and l drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
About three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, Or rather, to speak more cor
rectiy, neuralgia Of the stomach. My
cup Of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but l became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. 1 happened to mention
the matter to M grocer one day and
he suggested that l give Postum a
trial.
Next day it came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling it suf-
ficiently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, oon remedied,
and nov we like it SO much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing a food beverage instead of a drug,
has been the mean of b%anishing my
stomach trouble, l verify believe, for
/ am a well man today and have used
no medicine.
my work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'s branch house here Is of a
very combining nature. During my cof-
fee-drinking days l was subject to
%ervousnes and the blues. These
have left me since I began using Post
UNI, and l can conscientiously recon-
mend it to those whose work confines
them to long hours of severe mental
exertion." Name given by Postum

saw his features d%elineated in fire.
Overlooking the multitude he saw the
celebration of his Inauguration come
to a brilliant close in a splendid dis
play of fireworks.
The minimum estimate of the vast
crowds was $4,000. Other es mates
ran into the hundreds of thousands.
There were 500, 900 people in Wash

1t was the most orderly crowd in

BY IMPATIENCE
RESULTS FROM "BEAUTY" TREAT
MENTS COME SLOWLY.
A Certain Amount of Time and Abso-
lutte Regularity in Application of
Methods Used Are Too ALL
important Points.

If you are planning to take a course
of beauty treatments, either from a
specialist or under your own person
al care, first make sure just what
Sou want to accomplish and then go
about it in a systematic way and
keep 1t for a reasonable length OF
time. Very frequently, expected re-
cause, in a period of encouragement,
treatment was stopped just at the i'm
portant time, or, by the persistent fail
ure to follow the directions given.
Among the most abused beauty
treatmsnts is massage, and l am be-
ginning to believe that the average
woman causes more harm than good
by the way she manipulates the flesh
on her face and throat. If she would
only realize that regular massage is
beneficial, and, If given every day with
gentle movements and for a few min
utes, improvement would be very
rapid and very marked, but when she
uses the massage one a week and
goes at it vigorously to make up for
the other six days of neglect, much
harm follows.
One woman l know laid out a plan
for herself and followed it religiously
for three months with the result that
her friends are all remarking about
her improved appearance. She used a
massage cream every other night on
har foaa ond raaly 1ainn linht1u ounr
the flesh with the rotary motion ad-
vised. She finished the treatment
with a copious spray of cold water
and dried her face by brisk spatting
with a soft towel folded over her
hand. On alternate nights she bathed
her face in warm water, dried it
gently and applied a mild, nongreasy
bleach allowing it to dry on and re-
main all night. The time spent each
night was very little, but the regu-
larity of the treatment was what
counted.
If treatment of the hair is under
taken, the tonic must be used with
reasonable regularity if good results
are to be looked for. If massage of
the scalp is advised, let it be given
gently and according to the direc-
tiOns, but do not use methods for
your scalp that would take the skin
off your face, and do not undertake a
half dozen things at once to make
your hair grow.
A little care and attention given
regularly with the use of the proper
remedies will work wonders, when
haphazard treatments, without a due
regard to the value of the prepare
tions you are applying, will accom-
plssh very little, even if no decided
harm is done.

This comb is set on shell teeth, and

Gobelin Stitch,

Gobelin embroidery is made on an
even weave canva and is in the same
class as cross-stitch; in fact, cross
stitch designs can easily be copied in
Gobelin embroidery.
Gobelin stitch is a short, upright
stitch, very much like the blockstitch
in Hardinger work, only that it is not
SO long, being taken over two threads
instead of a number as in Hardinger.
The lines are continuous and not
formed into blocks.

Short Brocade Coats.

tempt US with novelties of new mate
rails and models. Our attention is at
tracted by a short brocade coat worn
over a skirt Of thin material. Here is
a prophecy of spring. We notice IA
miliar retails-that the skirt just es-
capes the ground; that some f~ullness
is suggested in gathers at the waist
line, and that there is little width at
the foot. We fear that fashion has
cheated us ont OF new ideas. But fur
the study shows that not only the
length of this coat IS new; the square
front, square armhole, and square,
long coat-tail back are novelties.-Har-
