ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS.
Tribute You Are Expected to Pay ts Stewards and Stewardesses
 on the ship. E

Two fears the ordinary person takes with him on board ship-the fear of seasickness and the fear Of stewards The first you lose with experiences: few ever lose the latter Therefore the prospective traveller, especially if he is planning his first trip, will find inter estfng and informative the hints con-, tained in the Pocket Guide for Trav- e1ers,is issued by Thomas Cook & SonA
 While there is no set rule for the fees to be paid to the stewards on board ship, there is recognized rule which is generally followed. but which may be changed in some respect ac- cordinE to the amount of service. It should be remembered that the mat ter of tips is not one of sentiment, but one of business, and that the stew ards look for these gratuities as some thing due them upon the close Of the voyage. These fees are not expected and should not be paid earlier than the close of the voyage. The table steward should receive at least S250

 The room steward expects from $25O
 to $5, according to the number of oc-
 cupants of the room The fee to the
 deck steward should not be less than
 $ 1 for each passenger in your party who comes on deck, while the smoke room, library steward the lounge or the reading-room steward will expect a, fee from the passenger using his ser vices during the voyage, averaging $1. If the services rendered are greater than ordinary. then the fee should be greater in proportion. There is al- ways collection taken for the ships band or the orchestra, if there be one on board. The bathroom steward us- ual1y gets shilling Cor twenty-five
 cents) for each bath taken during the voyage, and the steward who attends to your boots should get at least 75 cents from each passenger whose foot wear he takes care of If there is a l woman passenger in your party, the room stewardess should be given a fee of from S1 to $2.

DRUGLESS HEALING
The Hyomei Catarrh Remedy is
Natures Own Method.

To cure catarrh why not use the same
common sense as in caring for d burn ?
You would not take a Pill to heal o burn,
and no one should think Of curing ca
tarrh, coughs or head colds by dosing
the stomach.
Medicate the air you breathe with
Hyomei. This treatment, which you
breathe through a small inhaler. goes at
once TO the sore and congested mem
brane lining the nose, throat and lungs.
and makes a rapid and lasting end of
distressing catarrh Ills.
Hyomei is natures true method OF
treating all diseases affecting the cir
passages. and the most economical. The
Hyomei complete outfit is no more ex-
pensive than the usual bottle of medi-
cine, and consists OF 4 neat hard rub
Der inhaler. easily carried in the pocket.
and a bottle OF Hyomel This is usually
sufficient for the ordinary case. Chronic
and deep-seated trouble may require a
little more of the liquid in which case
you can get an extra bottle of HyomeI
at a trifling cost.
Hyomei is sold by druggists every
where, and "a guarantees to return
the money to any customer who says II
did not give satisfaction. II II cures the
treatment is inexpensive. II you are not
benefited it costs absolutely nothing.

BY MAUD MILLER.

In this year when every Partisan dress
n aker has a theory and solution Of
how the female form divine" should
look, sllhouettes are being much dis
cussed In connection with figures. And
there is much latitude allowed in every
direction and every department. So, too,
for the contour of miladys head.
And Just to help solve the problem OF
how to arrange your locks-be they curly
or straight-four pretty girls from the
cast OF beauties UP at the Globe thester,
where Chin Chin" is holding sway, have
posed for the Evening journal magazine
page.
First Is Evelyn Conway, who brings
out the piquant boyishness of her beauty
by parting her hair way over on the left
and brushing il in FURNISHED neatness
across her forehead and then gathering
off in a smooth coil at the nape of her
neck go that the entire rounded contour
of her we'll shaped head can be seen.
Hazel LOWS finds the occurrences Of
tho center parting becoming to her
rounded face ana regular features. She
fluffs 1t up a bit at the parting to give
a bit of height and take away from the
fiat look that would not do for any but
long, oval face. \ loose figure eight
covers her head at the back,

the French twist is becoming. But II Is
only tho short-nosed girl with a small
head who can afford the long line where
the hair is brushed across from one side
In order TO twist under itself with no
relief or knot or puff,
To arrange this French-or tango-twist
divide the hair in three parts. Knot the
center section loosely high In the head.
Then brush up one side to Join this knot
and tuck the ends in. Gather the third
and largest section Of the hair and pull
it across the knot, brushing It smoothly
and in unbroken line across the head
Then coil It with an upward twisting mo-
ton over the knot and pin the line of coil
into place. afterward tucklng in the end
OF the hair.
Lola Curtis has softly fluffy hair that
she parts and combs up from her fore
head in a dashing little backward wave
that conforms we'll with her dreamy
beauty with its hint of audacity. For her
the full Psyche knot IL possible, but II
should not be attempted by the girl with
sharp features, as its own sharp lines
would caricature them.
If you are one of these .types, try the
expert beauty lore OF these pretty young
women who have studied their own faces
wisely and well. One OF these hair ar
rangements ought to suit your face. And
when your hair suits your face the best
of your beauty points is brought out.

that they often artificlallv darken this
part OF the face, using either a dark
powder that comes for this purpose, or
fine paper ash. However. when this dark
circle Is sign OF III health, II ceases to
be attractive. and we should do all pos
sble TO remedy II.
These dark lines may he due to i'll
health or fatigue or simply to a change
in the fermentation. u It Ia the latter
and the effect Is not becoming, it can no
in part overcome by massage which will
quicken tho circulation and bring a moro

Place plenty OF massage cream about
the eyes. Place the forefinger below tho
eyes near the nose and following with
the second finger, rub slightly all about

under tho brows near the nose. BE caro-

night and morning and follow by bathing
the skin with cold water.
Dark circles arc sometimes n symptom

down IN a darkened room every after

HOW TO HEAL
SKIN TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this sim
pie, but reliable and inexpensive, home
treatment for people suffering with
eczema, rIngworm, rsshes, and similar
itching skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar OF
resinol ointment and 4 cake OF resinol
soap. These viii not cost bit more
than seventy-five cents With the res
mol soap and warm water battle the sf-
fected parts Thoroughly until they are
free from crusts aEad the skin is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin
layer OF the resiDol ointment ana cover
with a light bandage-if necessary TO
protect the clothlns. This should be
done twice a day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stops with the
first treatment and he skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again. For

woman who lives in the red light dis-
uict OF city sent her little girl away
before she was old enough TO understand
the sort of life her mother led. This
woman worships her child. but she has
had the child taught that her mother is

Grown. but she never speaks TO her. and
the little convent-bred maiden will never

Infinitude of
Suns
BY EDGAR LUCIEN LARKN.

| Question-"what Is the accepted or re-
jected theory OF modern astronomy re-
gardinE the infinitude OF suns?'
Answer-The photographs OF 1850
standard plates shows tho points or
images OF lOO0O0,0O0 suns. These have
not been actually counted. but plates Sc
cured by exposure in telecameras 30
typical regions OF the sky have and the
entire number has been subjected TO tho
calculus of probabilities. resulting I'm the
general number of 100, 100000 colossal
suns.
These have been weighed. That lie.
their combined force OF gravitational at
traction has been computed. This led
to one OF the most overwhelming discov-
cries. namely this entire pun OF attrac-
tons OF the quantity of matter In 10O
900 suns as massive as our own sun
| could not begin TO lmpart the high speci-
fic speeds Of several well known run
away" suns. These are dashlng through
what has been named space with velocl-
ties so much greater than all other suns
that they are a class by themselves.
our sun contains S,l26 times more
matter than IL In the earth, and this
multiplied by 100000 reveals the guam
tity of matter known to exist, beyond all
human imagination. But this immense
mass may almost be ignored as a mere
fraction in comparison with the gigantic
quantity necessary TO impart a velocity
OF from 100 TO 200 miles per second TO
these suns flying athwart the sidereal
universe.
Let the number OF these suns or dark
bodies run up 10 trilllons or actrillions,
then the entire quantity OF matter in all
of them would be less than the weight
of one grain OF sand, II compared TO an
infinite quantity OF matter.

Womanly Education

the problem in the education OF our

Nothing lie more worthy OF reverence
than the body and soul Of youth. A
mother who has guided her daughter
thro'tsh childhood and early girlhood
realizes that in adolescence and the dawn
OF womanhood a girl needs more care,

pervade good mothers teaching. Life
is noble and holy thing. and the laws
OF nature are sacred to the truly pure in

reverent may be implanted, and subjects
which are really sacred may be rescued
