Taking skins Off Tomatoes.

1t is not necessary to put tomatoes
into hot water to remove the skins
easily, writes Deerfield, n. Y, read
er of the Monitor. Take the tomato
and with the pairing knife scrape the
tomato over on the outside, touching
all parts, and then peel it, You will
find that the skin will slide right off,
leaving the tomato firm. If tomatoes
are used for salad, 1t saves cooling
them off again as in the old way of
Using hot water. In scraping the to-
mato. not much pressure is required
and it can be done in less time than
II takes to tell 1t.

WATER IN CULEBRA CUT.
Heavy Flow October 10 Expected TO
Garry Away Part of Slide.

PANAMA, Oct. 3.-Water was let
into the Culebra cut from Gatun Lake
through four 24inch pipes under the
Gamboa dixie at o'clock yesterday
At the present rate of flow, the cut
between the Curacha slide and the
Gamboa dixie, a distance of about five

feet by October 10, the date set for
the destruction of the Gamboa dixie.
Since the suspension of steam SHOW
le operations the Cucaracha slide has
extended completely across the cut
to the 73-foot level, so that when the
water Is admitted to the probable lake
level of 6S feet on October 10 1t cam

to ditch through the slide and the re-
sultant rush OF water Is expected to
carry away a large portion OF the OBJ
stacle.

CHICAGO, oct. 3.-Dr. Albert Ao-
rams. of San Francisco, who Is hero
attending the convention of the Am
erican Association for the Study OF
Spondylotherapy, science of which
he is the founder, outlined expert
ments by which he has attempted to
influence sex before birth.
Certain colors are known to have
certain effects on the human sys-

possible to bring a certain color to
bear on the mother, l believe that
eventually we will be able to deter
mine what the sex OF the child may
be. II red light be focused on her
head the male element will be strong
er and the child will be of that sex.
II blue be chosen. the quieting effect
will result in the child being girl.
The only question Is in bringing the
influence of light to bear"

DiDDcd In Egg.

If thin pieces of mutton, eiter raw
or cooked, are dipped in flour, then
In egg, and then in crumbs, and fried
in deep fat, they lose less moisture
than II broied or pan broiled, says
the Montreal star. This method is
especially suitable for rib chops, thin
loin chops or small pieces cut from
rare cooked meat. Thick chops would
hardly be cooked through by this
process.

Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

w. J. B.: Those annoying hairs or
your chin will quickly vanish after an
application of delatone paste, made by
mixing together little water and pow
dered delatone- This paste is to be ap-
piled and left on the skin two or three
minutes, then rubbed off and the ska
washed. The delatone treatment is quite
harmless and always leaves the skin clear
and smooth
Gussie: I, too, was flat-chcsted until
used the famous vancaire treatment,
but now have well developed figure.
You can prepare this treatment in the
privacy of your home and ] sure tue
result will be entirely pleasing. Dissolve
H. cupfuls sugar in l pint water and aGd
at meal time. Excepting in stubborn
cases, development starts quite soon.
S. r. o.: If your superfluous flesh
proves annoying and distressing, try the
following fat reducer which has given
cellent results: Dissolve four ounces of
parnotis in IL pints hot water; when cool
strain and take a Tablespoonful of the
liquid before each meal. This remedy is
harmless. BY avoiding very rich fooGs
and taking plenty of exercise, you will
weight very rapidly.
Mrs. Ruth: There can be no possible
excuse for woman of your age neglect
ing her complexion. 1t is a duty you owe
yourself to look as youthful and charm
ing as possible. / would not encourage
you to use face powder; it rubs off too
easily, shows too readily and does no per-
manent good. The use of a good loticr
max in half pint of hot water or witch

The Newest Beauty Aids
(Ruth Ashton in the MetropoIis)

The best hair remover I know is a
simple paste made by mixing powdered
delatone with little water. Cover the
hairs with this paste, leave on two min
utes, wipe off, wash the skin and the
hairs will be gone.
Mothers Salve is an old time house
hold remedy that can be bought in ready
prepared form at most drug stores 1t
often breaks up a stubborn cold in head
or chest over night. 1t is easy to use
quick to act, and relieves catarrh Group
sore throat, etc.
''To correct dark, muddy or salIow com
ple&ions, apply in the morning a lotion
made by dissolving an original package
of mayatone in half pint of witch hazel
This treatment makes the skin fair fresh
and smooth and prevents the growth of
hair 1t will not rub off or show like
powder.
Dry shampooing is relied upon by wo-
men who have studied the subject to keep
hair clean, bright and lustrous in cold
weather. Mix four ounces of orris root
with an original package of therox. sprin-
kle a little over the head. brush through
the hair. and your hair and scalp will be
clean, wholesome and heaIthy."-Adv.

The difficulty about reform measures
is that those who are inclined to fol-
low them are not the people who need
reforming, or else the reform, as in
this case, is too one-sided. At any
rate, here is the remedy, as the Mil
waukee man sees it:
Get breakfast for your husband and
hot he &c ole
he goes to work.
Be prompt with meals and expect
him to be prompt.
Keep your home, your children and
yourself neat and clean.
Don't tell him all your petty house
hold troubles; meet him at the door
with kiss and a smile.
Don't continually scold him for past
missteps. Cultivate the habit of for
getting diSa greeable things.
Approach the mother-in-Iaw ques-
ton carefuIly-its dangerous. Keep
law, but don't tell your troubles to
either. Never allow your own mother
to reproach your husband.
