To have BEAUTIFUL HANDS

The small hand is no longer con-
sidered the only pretty one. The
shapely, large. well-kept hand has
Just as much claim to beauty.
But the woman who would be the
happy possessor of beautiful hands
must understand that they are OBJ
tanned only by painstaking care. AMI
when once secured they will quick
ly lose their charm if neglected.
The hands require as much atten-
ton as the face. Beaches. creams,
massage exercise and manicuring.
and above all exquisite cleanliness,
are requirements necessary for beau
tiful hands.
Well manicured nails alone do not
make an ideal hand; they must be
accompanied ty hand that is plump,
white and shapely-not too fat or
soft Thin hands are never attrac-
tive, and later in life they develop
into veritable claws.
A shapely and beautiful hand
should be white, firm, with pointed
fingers. and well kept thumb.
The condition Of the thumb is the
test of well-kept hand.
Many directions are daily given
for keeping the hands in good con-
dition, but no one recipe agrees with
all skins But one of the following
articles will be certain to prove
adaptable, viz: Pure strained honey
cold cream, glycerine, or glycerine
and rose water
Honey rubbed into the hands each
night will keep them white and

honey on the washstand and, after
washing and carefully drying the
hands, rub in a little Pursue the
same method with other articles
named. A few trials will soon teach
one which is bested suited to her

hands too often during the day,

water: either makes the skin hard

ELLEN KEY ON PATRIOTISM

The is inscparably connected with belief in the
infallibty Of ones own nation concerning the means
whereby it tries to maintain to enlarge certain
power . . The other is identical with the con-
servaon of the spiritual possessions of the nation and
their enlargement. From this standpoint nation
show itself worthy of its best traditions not by main
tanning, but by reinquishing a power which in the
of time may have lost its ethical significance.
That spiritual values demand material foundation
goes without saying. But this be attained in two
ways BY an expansion which respects the right of
other nations by intensive exploitation of the
possibilities of country. The showroom
which nation needs for this purpose to-day be
obtained by treaties with other nations rather than by
attacks upon them.
by war to peace and IF you peace, prepare
for war"-these old sayings are ever more clearly
proved to be untenabe. War incites to war,

That the lowest acts and the highest virtues of
nation both bear the patriotism that patriotism
itself can shine with clear light even if it is fed by
impure substances this fact maintains the Anticipated
conception of patriotism with those who think hon.

deception greater than when ordinary advantages

, during the year-illness that is not Sc
rious enough to call for the removal OF
the patient to the hospital, but still
demands a certain amount OF care, and
during which the patient should have
rest and quiet, such an idea cannot but
impress one as being both practical
and conducive to better conditions OF
living.
1.-THE percentage of families In which
all members leave the home to go TO
work is increasing, and in these homes,
when sickness occurs, it either means
that one % the family must remain
away from business and attend TO the
patient, that q nurse must be engaged
or that the patient must be left to take
care OF herself The latter mode OF
procedure seems almost barbarous, yet
in many cases it is necessary, for when
the income Of two persons is taken
from the money FOR support OF the
family 3 great strain is put upon it.
No Room for Nurse.

often are not large enough to permit OF
arranging for the sleeping accommoda-

T is of the many easily interpreted signs of the
times that the nations have begun to examine the
quality of another's patriotism, while they still
believe in the nobility of their own.
Within not quite year had opportunity to hear
in Russia indignation about Englands violation OF the
right of the Beers, while at the same time Russia S

world that they abusing Finland by right and law

land of France on of its attitude in the Drey

Transvaa was violated by right and law for the real need
and good OF the nation Finally heard France regret
Russia's policy in Finland, condemn Engands policy
in the Transvaa, while the French themselves grew
pale with wrath on hearing the Dreyfus.

because that country in defending its national charac

same wrongs against Europeans that these had
committed in China and commit everywhere, when

Thus Germany deprived the people OF Scheswg-H ol-

there are two conceptions of patriotism which are dia

DR.. Baker Approves Highly.

"There are many illnesses that do
not require the aid of trained hos
pital nurse. but rather the simple, in
telligent care Of woman who has
studied enough to know what she ought
to do. A nurse Of this kind not only
understands the care of her patient
sufficiently to aid the doctor intelli-
gently, but she may also assist in the
home duties, and her wage is small
compared with that Of the trained
woman.
81 am not decrying the trained nurse;
in my estimation she deserves all she
gets, for she has put hard conscientious
study into her work for several years.
At the rate of $40 a week family may
engage a nurse of the lesser class for
two weeks instead of the trained nurse
for one, and that is an important ad-
vantage.
"The quiet, rest and calm Of the
roof top rest rooms would un-
doubtedly be excellent for a patient.
OF course, this could not do for con-
tagious diseases; those are taken care
of in hospitals built for that purpose.
There are also very severe illnesses
that could not be treated here, neces-
sarily, but for the ordinary illness in
the family il would be an excellent
thing.
AIN the higher class apartments it
would not be necessary, for generally
the country or private rooms in a hos
pital are the choice of tenants Of these.
and for the very poor it is not feasible,
but for the strong middle class, the
great army of wage earners, it would
surely be excellent"
