Removing BIRTHMARKS

7 IKE many of the greatest discoveries in
science, the method of removing birth
marks came about accidentally. A young
man who had very large red birth-mark on
his right hand was engaged at one of the
largest soda fountains in New York. His
right hand was frequently in contact with
frozen carbonic-acid gas, and he noticed after
some months that the birth-mark had COM
pletely disappeared.
This occurrence was brought to the atten-
ton of some of the leading skin specialists
Of New York, and upon experimenting by
applying frozen carbonc-acid gas to birth
marks it was found that they were actually
removed. and that the patient suffered no
pain in the process.
The skin specialists say that now they can
guarantee to cure even the most unsightly of
these birth-marks by this process, which is

Fabulous TABLE ANIMALS

wv HEN one comes to think OF It, 1t is
w surprising how many fabulous ami,
mails come regularly to the dinner
table or supper table
Among them, of course, the most familiar
is the Welsh rabbit which in Its original form
was merely toasted cheese Some folks de-
clare that the name is a corruption of rare
bit" but this has never been proved.
Then there is the golden buck. which is a
Welsh rabbit with a poached egg on top
Chinese rabbit is a Welsh rabbit with rice in
it. and a Mexican rabbit otherwise known as
a Spanish rabbit contains tomatoes and
onions.
So much for rabbits But how many people
are there who are familiar with the Cape Cod
turkey? Plenty in New England, where cod

Scotch woodcock is two slices OF hot but
tered toast, with an anchovy on each slice,
and a sauce made of half pint of milk and
the yolks OF three eggs poured over them.

which is made by soaking a cupful of bread
crumbs in cup OF milk, and adding table
spoonful OF melted butter a beaten egg and
half cup of grated cheese, the whole, with
salt and pepper added being poured over
toasted crackers.
The mock turtle is one Of the most familiar
of fabulous table animals, being served in the
form of soup. In "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland" will be found a striking picture
Of this remarkable reptile, represented with
the body OF turtle and the head of calf
Mock duck Is a roll of chopped meat and
bread crumbs baked. Mock crab is made by
mixing equal parts OF grated cheese and but

and adding few drops of anchovy sauce.
The paste thus prepared is spread on slices
of dry toast or sometimes served in crab

kitchen naturalist, is the corn oyster which

How to Get the Habit OF
SLEEPING THE RIGHT WAY

- HERE are right and wrong ways OF
sleeping, Just as there are right and
wrong ways OF walking or breathing
or sitting OF course our method Of sleeping
is almost involuntary, that is, we cannot lie
down to sleep and simply by saying l VIII

But again. our method of sleeping is not
quite involuntary. because there are many
things we can do that win regulate 1t and go

the very best there is out of sleep.

Of things that make as sleep without resting.

and eat too little. others work TOO little and
eat too much, but most people cannot sleep
well because Of three reasons, not enough
fresh air and deep breathing. not enough eX-
ercise and TOO much on the mind.
In the first place, if you work in an Office
or at some place where You are indoors and
rather quiet throughout the day, and you find

short but brisk walk just before retiring.

Why the CITY MAN Is as
Healthy as the COUNTRY MAN

T HE popular belief is that city men are
an unhealthy lot, while their country
cousins are robust and full of good
health But this is not exactly the truth ac-
cording to the reports that have been made by
great many physicians from all over the
country.
1t is true that the country man may have
better air to breathe and purer milk to drink
and fresher eggs to eat, but his advantages
seem to stop right there. Naturally the first
argument against this is, But the country
man has plenty of exercise while the city man
does not"
This sounds like good argument, but is it?
The country man gets plenty of exercise, but
that isn't all. He gets too much exercise. 1t
is Just as bad to get too much exercise as 1t IS
too little, for both have harmful results

explained upon excellent physiological
grounds.
1t has long been known that birth-mark
is only defect in the topmost outer layer OF
the skin. Attempts TO remove them by burn
ing with acid or mechanically failed, because,
while the birth-mark was removed an uglier
scar resulted from the deep burn of acid or
fire.
Frozen carbonicacid gas actually burns
away the birth-mark, but the value of this
agent as compared with others is that it does
not burn into the other layers of the skin
II merely removes the defective top layer.

If you really do not sleep soundly, if you
lie awake much of the night and toss about
something more soothing is needed in addt-
ton to the deep breathing. II it is possible,

For people who are severely troubled with
the inability to sleep soundly, some diver
sion Is needed, a party, an entertainment or
theatre, get together with friends and have
a sing. Reading poets and philosophers will
help, and very often hot drink, cereal coffee
matted milk preferred, will prove great
help in inducing natural and restful sleep.

question of whether under the laws

he does nothing but a wholesale

Temperance Reform Across the
Channel.
A temperance victory in the Franch
Chamber of Deputies recently took
place, although it can hardly be con-
sidered very far-reaching one. The
motion of an indefatigable enemy of
alcohol, M. Joseph Reinach, author
izing the perfect of each department,
after consideration with the depart
mental counsel, to determine a ring
within which no drink-shops may be
opened was adopted. The ring is
to be at determined distance from
schools, hospitals, and churches

the drink-sellers, but on that of the
80 projects of departments. If it re-
lated to old licenses as we'll as to
new, it might mean very serious
blow to the half-million drink-sellers
of France. Raymond Poincare, the
president of the republic, is very
fervent anti-alcohol advocate or what
would be termed in English-speaking
countries, Prohibitionist. Years ago
when minister of education, he took
a very prominent part trying to make
the anti-alcohol teaching a part of
the school system. While he sue
ceeded in some respects, in others he
was very violently opposed. He is
said to be a very quiet man, but very
intense in his convictions, that France
is suffering from the reckless use of
alcohol. 1t is understood that he
will both directly and indirectly favor
every measure that will be proposed
to limit and suppress the sale of alco-
ho1.

was upon those dates that a settle
ment has come to between the House
of Lords and the House of Commons
by which the Scottish temperance bill
becomes law. With some compare
lively unimportant amendments the
Lords agreed to pass the bill at once
and dispense with the aid of the Par
lament act. In the main the bill is
local veto measure, principle that
has been anathema to the upper
house, which professedly acquiesced
in it because they said it was evident
ly desired by the people of Scotland.
Very tardily this conclusion has been
reached, and most probably under the
pressure of the parliament act with
out which there can be no doubt the
bill would have again been thrown
out or emasculated so far as the di-
rect popular local veto is concerned.
The passing of the bill-for there
is not the least difficulty now antici-
pated in the lower house, constitutes
the first legislative recognition of the
root principle of the United Kingdom
Alliance within the British Isles.

practically lose two years before the

Here again there is the first recogni-
ton of the principle of limiting the
hours of supply of drink in clubs,
a useful wedge that has found it's

it will be found that the advantage

the opponents of efficient Temperance
legislation.
