HOME HEALTH CLUB

(By Dr. David H. Reeder, Chicago, ILL What Should Eat? Part w Men ta1 Attitude. I knew a happy man who went home early from a hard oays work. He was hungry and, as usual, ready to digest a good meal be-
 cause he ate properly. He was not expected so soon, and found things there which so mortified and stunned him that his brain reeled and power of action was almost overcome. Won derfu1 control had been cultivated by this man, and he passed quietly out of his home and never entered 1t again
 Mechanically he walked into a res- taurant and sat at a table; was serv-
 ed and ate. All the time he was try
 ing to think. to realize 1t all, but the shock was too great. How long was he there or what he ate. or swhat 1t tasted like, he never knew. As the dishes wene removed, he arose, paid
 his bill and passed out. Digestion did
 not take place. All of the vital forces
 were concentrated in the brain, and as
 thoughts became more connected they
 took, t0 him, new form, and hate
 ruled where love had reigned for
 years. In less than four hours hate
 had so changed things that nature,
 came to the rescue and severe diar- rhoea. set in. The entire alimentary canal was enptied of the undigested
 food, which probably saved the man from a. serious illness. Recovery was
 much more rapid than it would have
 been but for the darrhoea.
 Hate. envy. malice. jealousy, and all
 such violent emotions have a direct
 effect upon digestion. One who is
 easily influenced by exciting news, ac- cidents or horrors. should never read
 a sensational newspaper just before or after eating. Quarrelling or evil con
 versation while eating also has g. di-
 rect effect. Better is a dinner of herbs and contentment herewith than

seven ounces since. So, you see, he is doing nicely. wash out his bowels with warm water and a little salt when he seems in most distress, but this does not relieve him as it should, because the gas seems to be in his stomach altogether. I feed him reg uLar1y every two hours through the day and whenever he wakes up dur ing the night, but not oftener than every two hours. Is there anything you can recommend?
 I am inclined to think that your are over-feeding your baby and that is the cause of the collie. If you think you must feed him every two hours, do not allow him to have very much at a time. It would be better, how ever, to let him have all he wants, but instead of feeding him every two hours, extend the time for feeding to at least two and half or three hours and once during the night. You are wise in not giving any soothing syrups without first knowing the contents. There is hardly a mixture of a, quiet ing nature that does not contain nor pI1fne or opium. One very popular remedy contains enough morphine in one bottle to kill two men and yet it Is carelessly administered and left where children who like syrup things could have access to 1t. Do not use them at all. It is much better to give a few teaspoonfuIs of hot water, Ht- tie old-fashioned catnfp tea.s or simple
 no1asseS- in hot water. A teaspoonful of modasses in a, cup of hot water giv- en in half teaspoonful doses, some times gives almost magical relief. When given slowly, one drop of pep essence in six teaapoonfuls of hot water is also an excellent remedy. When there is diarrhoea or the cramps are severe, a drop of camphor essence in a teasponful of sugar, dissolved in about six teaspoonfu1s of water, given in teaspoonfu1 doses every ten minutes would be excellent.
 believe, however, if syor will follow the suggestions about feeding so off, ten. yo1u will not need to give the little one anything for collie.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 
The Bath Room aHd Its Appointmentg
BY BLANCHE BEACON

The woman of to-day does not deem it an economy to skinp on her bath ] room and it's appointments. The floor should be covered with warm washable rug. She should have a spray for her hair and a shower bath, if B quick, cold spray is suitable for her. She should have a plentiful supply of bland soap for the body and perfumed for the face and hands scrubbing brushes. flesh and nail brushes. It is essential for cleanliness and beauty of the skin to have the face brush. You will realize this if you will only scan carefully the faces of the women you see at the theatre or at church, for you will see that nlo ost of them cover skin defects with cosmetics when the sanitary and cura- tive properties of soap and water are needed instead. An oval shaped face brush made of Russian goats bristles, soft and not irritating to the skin, ts essential to prevent such blenishes as blackheads, acne and kindred skin troubles. An inexpensive brush of this character can be secured at any drug store.
 The selecting of soap Is very impor- tant and it should contain the least possible amount of a1kan- The cas- jest soap test I know of Is to touch it with the tip of the tongue and If 1t is bitter and sharp to the taste 1t will be injurious to the skin.
 The beauty devotee should also equip the bathroom with small bags of bran and meal, which are very ex- cellent for softening the skin, particu- Iarly if the water she is obliged to use is hard and full of a1ka1i. You can make your own bran and almond meal bags inexpensively with about three pounds of any bran and one of Flor entine orris root, pulverized, together with 1k pounds of almond meal and eight ounces of pure white cast1le soap all thoroughly mixed together the soap. of course, being grated.
