DRESS HINTS

There is nothing that tends so much
to create an appearance of slovenli-
ness as an unsightly hiatus between
the skirt and blouse. 1t is in every
womans power to keep her blouse
neat and trim at the waist and her
skirt we'll up.
A pale-faced or faded looking
woman should avoid red, because il
will make her skin seem whittier than
ever But a woman with rich color
ing, glossy hair (the color of it mat
ters very little, and bright eyes may
wear touches of the most vivid scar
let and look all the better.
Each season brings its own new
fashion tendencies, This year there
is the Oriental tendency expressed
chiefly in fabrics. There is an 1886
tendency shown in wider skirts
dropping, fuller sleeves and the nor
NAL waist line. And there is the re.
Election of the Direetoire tendency in
coats, collars and revers. Turkish
effects are noticeable in coloring and
i'm sashes with tassel ends brilliantly
colored boleros and brocaded vests
But whatever the tendency may be
or whatever the period it may be
borrowed from the watchword is
moderation.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE,
Conducted by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk

Public sentiment for unadulterated
floods is going to come about largely
through the sons and daughters of
the coming generation Even schools
and colleges are preparing for this.
and they in turn will bring their
knowledge or experiments along this
line into the home. The work has
already begun, and homes and do
nestle science schools should work
together as unit.
Why, a kindergarten child readily
saw its value when someone met him
on the street one day and said
Hello, Jack; where did you get
those red cheeks? You didn't use to
have them"
oh" he replied, I'VE are having
pure food at our house now, and DR..
Wiley is our doctor"
The President said recently that
SANITARY laws, pure-food laws, and
these rigidly enforced, are absolutely
essential for healthful efficiency of
every man and woman, boy or girl in
our country"
The nation will welcome this assur-
ance from the President, as there Is
nothing which more vitality concerns
every human being, young or old,
than the purity of our food. 1t is not
quantity we are crying for, but
quality. The federal government,
state governments and city govern
ments are Just beginning to realize
that until we are protected against

impure foods We have not a secure
basis upon which to build happiness,
health and efficiency.
There was an Old saying, every
one must eat his peck of dirt"
Times and thought have changed,
and this peck of dirt has dwindled
in quantity and quality and we are
slowly but surely coming into the
light of intelligent and safe living.
The worlds progress depends upon
it and the home is the logical llace
for this work to begin and decrease
the death rate of 100000 children
who die annually of preventative dis
eases | mean if women would know
the right foods for children from the
time they were born, there would
not be this terrible loss of child
life. This reform must come through

Usually she buys the best that her

The Spring Suit

With very many women in the
spring clothes campaign the point oil
first attack is the tailored suit. Fol
the strictly tailored coat this season
the most generally favored is that OF
the cutaway fronts, the collar notched
in mannish style, and very mannish
as to cut and finish at the back. Used
with a plain or plated skirt. they are
made of ratine or eponge-both very
much alike in texture, except that the
latter is softer in weave--dlagonal

FireIess Cookers

The economic value of a we'll
constructed freless cooker is al
most beyond measure. Evap-
grafton is reduced to a mini
mum so that there is little or
no loss in weight, quantity, or
in food value.J Apart from this,
there is a most appreeiable saw
ing of time and labor in the
preparation of meals. Cooking
by "fire1ess" methods does not
require the same care and close
attention demanded by the or
binary stove methods, especial
ly by gas or oil stoves. While
the cooking is being done the
the time can be devoted to
other household or social duties.
A tremendous saving is effected
in fuel, particularly in gas or
oil.
