BEAUTY CHATS
TO WAVE THE HAIR.

have already spoken of and advo- cated above all others. what I call my artificia1Iy naturally waved hair. But. as some of my readers are eager for other methods, am going to de- vote this articIe to a discussion of their relative merits.
 As to the use of artificial curriers' about the only advice can give you in the choice of these is not to buy too cheap a variety. The cheap kinds are likely to be badly made and to break and tear the hair. Get a good grade of whatever kind you prefer. That is so Inueh a matter of personal taste that it is hard to advise. Some like the kid curriers', and, indeed, if you get nice ones, they are very soft. Others get a peculiar little arrange ment which consists of two pieces Of flat steel about three inches long and a fraction of an inch wide. A small strand of hair is twisted lightly, then wound round and around one or the pieces of steel The other Is then locked tightly down over it. These inpart a lovely, loose, natural wave to the hair.
 do not advise curling irons ever. Especially do I advise you against the

News. In addition, the Federated Charities, which offered to keep con tributors posted during the year to progress made by the pension families, has secured some strong supporters as the result of that personal contact established through such reports.
 One point developed in connection with the yearly appeals will interest newspaper men. It was the rule of The News that we should have the final decision as to the oases submit ted by the Federated Charities to the extent of rejecting those which, in our opinion, did not have enough of what we newspaper men call the "sob" fea- ture. Not many cases submitted by the Federated Charities were rejected an average of perhaps one a year bu talways the rejection was due, as stated, to the lack of a "sob'' feature, and always the Federated Charities
 gracefully yielded, and cheerfu1ly pro-
 duced another pension family.
 But,-and this is the point which may. interest newspaper men-the sob" feature seemed to have little to do with the success of the appeal in individual eases. Once the con tributions began coming in, the pen sion for the family which carried the weakest ''sob' feature grew. just as rapidly as the others. In fact, sew eral times the case which we in the News office considered the weakest case from the standpoint of our pre- vious experience with ''sob' stories,
 was the one for which the whole pen sion was most quickly raised.
 | That the Opportunities Fund" is a successful Christmas stunt from a. newspaper standpoint is evidenced by
 the fact that papers in other cities have followed the same plan of con-
 centrating their efforts at Christmas
 on this one feature. The constructive policy emphasized by The News is
 apparent in these other instances. There was, however, one appeal
 which showed a departure from the
 original plan adopted and still fol- lowed by The News. That was in
 New York where, just before Christ
 mas, 1912, an appeal was made for 100
 selected families recommended by va
 rious agencies in New York This
 appeal, while stating the condition of
 each family, did not specify the
 amount needed, nor was there any fol- low up system. There was just the one broadside,-that was all. The cu-
 nulatfve effect of the several days
 stories in The News and the appeal
 for a specified sum were undoubtedly
 the cause of the success of the Balti- more plan.

irons are ever a blessing. In the first place, it is so easily handled, and is always ready at an instant's s notice. It can be attached at an in stant's notice, and heats quickly. II your house is not wired you can get a small dry battery to run it. Then the heat is evenly diffused over the iron. It is a steady, even heat, and can almost say, a non-burna,b1e heat save that if you handle it careless ly, it will burn, as it can get very hot It must be regulated, of course. Then, it is so clean and pleasant to manipulate.

 Who would expect all young girls to have wise old heads on their pretty young shoulders? Could they be blamed if, perchance, their Judgment slipped a notch or two regarding the trustwor thiness Of their young men ac- ouaintanceS? In no instance is a girl apt to err than in the letters and notes she writes to her young men friends. For instance, a gentleman whom she thinks very well of may casually re- mark that he hopes to find time to call upon her during the following week. He makes mention of this without at taching particular importance to the matter, nor does he suppose that she will

 Of course, The News, in taking up Christmas stunt It got what it wanted. The daily stories" appeal ing for the several pensions made good reading and the Baltimore pub lie warmly applauded the spirit of the paper in seeking to relieve dixtress. But the result, in my opinion, also has been an excellent thing from the standpoint of organized charity I had a first class opportunity for judg- ing both sides because for four years I handled the newspaper end of the touch during the Christmas season with the representatives of the Fed erated Charities.
 Every effort was made by The News to drive home the constructive policy of the Federated Charities in regard to it's pension families; to emphasize for instance, the desire to keep wid- owed mothers and children together and not to break home ties. The point was made plain always that it was the Federated Charities which actually was doing the work Of car ing for the families. I think the popular understanding of organized charity and it's viewpoint and in q better public feeling toward it. There has been also a distinct decrease in Baltimore during the past four years in the desultory Christmas giving many givers preferring to send their contributions, however small, to The

DIPTHERIA ARRIVES.

Three hundred and thirty-five per-
sons died from diphtheria in Minne-
sofa during 1911. The season is again
mere when the disease is most prevail
ent and each person who develops
sore throat should become suspicious.
An immediate conference should be
held with the doctor, Couture" of
the throat be taken and preparation
made for treatment. Antitoxin can be
secured at low cost at many antitoxin
stations throughout the state. It Is
almost a positive cure when taken in
time.
what apparently is only a sore
throat in adults, often gives rise to
outbreaks of dtphtheria in children.
A KISS to a child under these circum-
stances may be the unconscious seal
OF the little ones death warrant.
WH"~ a case of diphtheria has de-
Veloped, the patient should be isolated
IN sunny, well-ventilated room, all
rugs, carpets, curtains, wardrobes and
unnecessary furniture removed. The
cat shorld he driven out and the
dog sent away, as both, may COM
municate the disease. Keep away
from the source of contagion. Do
not go where the disease is, If you
can help it, and permit no one to
enter your home who has been where
it is. Neither the nurse or other at
tendant should eat or drink anything
IN the sick room or anything which
has been there. Food which the
patient has left should be burned and
the dishes washed separate1v in ho;,
ing water.
Be suspicious Of the first sore
throat. The local board of health
should be notified Immediately. Re-
member, the horse is about the only
domestic animal immune to the dis
ease and that you are not a. horse.
