To Avoid Seasickness
Dear. Miss Doom:

Dear. Miss Doom:
Please tell me how to avoid sea-
sickness. | am going on a sea trip
to Florida and am afraid I'll be
sick all the time and won't have
a good time. Thanking you,
VOYAGER.
An old sailor says that one of the
best personalities is to nibble dried
herring. 1t is claimed this salt fish
not only cures the terrible sickness,
but crea ties a healthy appetite for
food, which can be retained on the
stomach. 1t has been successfully
tried numerous times. 1t is not
bad medicine to take and is worth
a trial. especially after being rec
commended by a sailor.
The following article on seasick-
ness appeared in Leslie's Magazine
some time ago: Prepare for your
Journey week or so ahead, by eat
ing simple, plain foods, and avoid
as far as possible sweets, sours,
fats and condiments. Spend as
much of the time on shipboard as
possible, in the open air, walking
or reclining. See to it, particularly.
that you are warmly clad. One in
clined to seasickness always feels
a sense of chilliness about the ex-
tremities. Carry a hot water bag

How Customs Change.

If some of the notables of ancient
times we're living now how differently
they would act!
Noah would charter an ocean liner,
Nero would step into the parlor and
turn on the monograph, while Rome
burned and the heather ragged. Ben
Hur would pilot 60-horsepower rae
ing car and spin around saucer
tracks. Jason would hire the great
detective to find the Golden Fleece,
instead of going after it himself.
Icarus would mount to the sun In a
Bleriot monoplane without fear of its
wings melting off. Napoleon would
invade Russia in a Pullman palace
car. Demosthenes would go on the
Chautauqua circuit. Cain would
plead circumstantial evidence, self
defense and emotional insanity.

THE SUMMER GIRL AND WHAT SHE WEARS

The use of hand embroidery to en-
bellish a frock Is a demand of the
season. Taffeta and silk frocks, as
well as linen and cotton. are given {
distinguishing touch by this means.
All the new suit coats are short
so short in fact they reach very Mt
tie below the waistline, and many
show soft plaits confined by belt at
sides and back. Quite the smartest
fabrics for making these suits are
taffeta and MORE. Then there are the
fine French serges and gabardines In
navy blue, and not to have one suit
of navy blue Is to be out of fashion
this season. Cotton duvetyn and
linen make chic summer suits.

Special Boudoir Corsets

There are special lounging corsets
for the boudoir which give a more
graceful line to the clinging negligee
than would be possible were the negli-
gee worn over any but faultless
figure.
Many women have presentable
uncorseted figures when standing
erect, but a boudoir gown is for
lounging and no one wants to look
Sloppy" in an exquisite, clinging
negligee of silk and lace. Hence the
boudoir corset, which is of soft, woven
silk mesh, almost homeless, and much
shorter than the corset worn with
formal gowns. Some of these boudoir
corsets are mere "slip-ons" with no
bones at all.
They are drawn on, over the feet,
and cling snugly over the hips and
thighs, holding the abdomen in a fiat
line even when the figure lounges.

Some Suggestions Housewives
May Like to Remember


Often in hot weather the batch of
bread or rolls has risen before the
time planned to bake them.
Place them in the refrigerator and
the rising process will cease, yet the
dough will not sour. When ready to
bake, take out of the refrigerator and
put in the oven.
1t is well when washing a piece of
choice yellowed lace to dip il in milk
before ironing.
Always place a piece of tissue paper
directly over the lace, so the warm
iron will not touch the fabric.
If mustard is mixed with milk 1t
will keep longer without discolora-
ton.
There is no better way to scrub a
clothes line than TO wind it around a
board, such as dress materials are
wound on, and then scrub with a
brush dipped in rich suds.
Boil out the coffee pot once week.
Dissolve a tablespoonful of ordinary
baking soda in enough cold water to
fill the utensil two-thirds full and let
it boil for fifteen minutes. Rinse it
out most carefully and then wipe per-
fectly dry.
When vegetables or other food
stuffs become scorched, remove the
kettle at once from the stove and put
1t into a pan of cold water
In quarter of an hour you will be
surprised to find the suggestion Of
scorch almost if not entirely gone.
If several weeks or months are to
elapse when the food chopper is not
in use, run piece of suet through it,
before putting it away; then there
will be no. danger of its rusting.-

Pretty Goldilocks

Once upon a time there was a
princess who was the prettiest Great
ure in the world because she was so
finest gold. She was called pretty
Goldilocks. She always wore crown
of flowers and diamond embroidered
dresses, and everybody who saw her
fell in love with her. So it happened
that a king of great country heard
of her and he soon fell in love with
her, so he sent one of his favorite
subjects, named Charming. to ask
her to be the bride OF the king.
Charming was a handsome man
with curly hair and was much liked
by everyone. So Charming set out
to the palace of the princess. When
he reached there he asked to see the
princess. He did not wait long and
then was taken to her room. She sat
on a throne glittering with pearls
and diamonds. Charming bowed
gracefully and asked her to be the
bride of the king.
But before / marry the king you
must do three things for me-" she
| said. First you must go and bring
back my ring that l dropped in the
brook nearby a month ago. Do moi
fail or you will be slain" Charming
set out the next day and without
difficulty got possession of the ring
He returned 1t to the princess and
she said: Now go and fight the giant
who lives on yonder hill. Do not fai
or you will be slain"
| Charming again started out and he
brought back the giants head.
! When ne returned the princess
said: Now go and get me flask Of
| water from the fountain of youth.
| Charming set out and brought bacl
| the water to her.
She was much pleased at the things
which Charming did and the mex
day started for the kings palace

To Cut Down the Meat Bill

There's twice as much nourishment
in a pound of macaroni as in pound
of steak, and it costs one-half as
much.
Here, then, is one way to reduce
the cost of living
We depend, as rule, on foods rich
in fat, sugar and starch to supply US
our energy, and on meat and the
cereals to reconstruct our broken
down body cells. Macaroni will do
both for us.
There are many simple and delicious
ways of serving 1t.
Probably most people like it best
when prepared with cheese. In this
form it is sufficiently nutritious to
constitute a meal.

Paper Napery

Paper towels lessen the work of the
laundry, and the new ones that cost
fifty cents hundred combine
strength, absorbency and softness to
such a degree that they are splendid
substitutes for linen ones.
After they are used they still can be
utilized for polishing purposes before
finally being burned. A clean one is
excellent for absorbing the excess
grease from doughnuts and other
fried foods.
An extra heavy dinner napkin is
now made of paper that is so tough 1T
can be used many times before 1t will
show any signs of wearing out.
This saves a great heap of napkins
from the weekly laundry. And before
they are thrown away these napkins
can be utilized for cleaning windows,
brass. metal ware and the kitchen
range

Broiled Mushrooms

The larger kinds are required for
dressing in this way and are the
most suitable for serving at break

picked so as to be free of grit; the
peel must be taken off and the stalk
cut short-do not pull 1t out Place
them on a gridiron rubbed with
butter, adding salt and pepper when
both sides are done; set them on a
hot dish, and in the centre of each
put a small piece of butter and a
squeeze of lemon juice; put the dish
for a minute or two into the oven,

Then place a good-sized piece of

and a damp cloth over this.
Hold a warm iron lightly on the
cloth until the heat melts the tissue,
