A Real Need,

A Frenchman named Delaney has
invented an apparatus whereby you
can wind your clock by opening and
shutting a door, the winding machine
doing its work by the action Of the
door
What is really needed. however. is
an invention that. attached to a door
will get rid of people inside OF the
room. No known method has yet been
invented to accomplish this purpose.
Yet is there anything which would pro-
mote greater efficiency and comfort
and give more lasting satisfaction

dom. There is an effective beauty
patch design in the new circular veil
in the form OF handrun floral design,
large enough to cover almost one en-
tire cheek.
All sorts OF insect beauty spots con-
tinue prominent. Among the newest
of these in a black bug on a hcsh-col-
ored hair.line. The body OF the bug
is heavily embroidered on the mesh
of the veil, but the wings are en-
broidered on a separate piece OF net so
as to hang loose from the veil.

DOUBLE LIFE OF VEIL
METHODS or PRESERVING FRAo-
lie ACCESSORY.
Careful Handling TO Remove Wrinkles
10 One Of the First Requisites
May be Washed u Due
Care 10 Taken.

The life OF q veil depends entirely
upon the way II 10 manipulated when
not in action. Few OF US ever give
our wells hard enough wear when
they are actually In service to wear
them out. but sometimes the careless
handling OF q day or 20 viii ruin Q
veil that would last for weeks II prop
erly treated. Here Is q good practice
for the preservation OF wells that an
economical Engllshwoman has e.
planned TO her American friends.
Whenever you take on veil, roll It.
Now take the bottom Of the veil in
your right fingers and the top In your
left fingers and give It gentle pull
to stretch any wrinkles. and after
that do what you please with II. You
may fold It over and put 1t In your
handbag II you choose. or IN q crowd
ed bureau drawer or in travelling
bag. But when you come to use the
veil next time you will find that It Is
in good shape. Ideally speaking. a
wooden veil roll Is q splendid instru-
ment for the safe keeping Of wells. but
who takes the trouble to put the veil
on a roll? And, Of course. It is the
once you don't take care OF the veil
that does the damage.
Never leave a veil on hat-that Is,
n you want to wear It q second time.
or course. no woman likes to make q
show OF preserving the life OF wells by
spreading hers out every time she
chances to remove It. Yet with III.
tie dexterity she can roll II up as the
economical little Englishwoman does,
in a flash. and the life OF the veil will
have been doubled.
Did you ever try TO wash a veil?
Probably not, yet II IA not difficult
process II the veil Is white, and with
care a colored veil can sometimes be
put through soap and water. Always
use a suds OF pure white soap and
warm, not hot. water. and don't leave
the veil In the water for more than
minute. Rinse the veil in clear water
after II has been In the soapy water,
and allow II to dry by pinning It out
at the edges on a counterpart. Chiffon
wells will lend themselves surprisingly
well to a cleansing process. and the
woman who wears them for motoring
or for seashore promenades will real
ize a decided saving II she knows the
knack OF washing them.

ny breeding. The second best iB to
keep things 80 clean as to prevent fiy
feeding. The third best thing is to
defend oneself against the flies that
have come. Sometimes 1t will be pos
sible to screen them away. This works
we'll enough with dwellings. The few
1ies that get into a well screened
house can be swatted. or caught with
paper, or killed with poison.
Where the doors are opening con.
Stantly, screens are sometimes OF lit.

all. Under these circumstances. what
81 to be done?
Usually Il will be possible to protect
che food supply with cases. screens, or
mosquito bar. Anything kept In the
icebox will be protected. Flies sud-
denly entering an atmosphere OF go
will escape II they can. II not, they
slow up. At about 4S they lose their
ability to fly. At 81. FIVE degrees be.
10y freezing, most Of them die.
4 The best method OF Kidding a dairy
barn. milk house, or store Of flies will
depend on the number present and on
other considerations. When flies are
abundant the use OF fly traps Is the
most effective method.
Sticky fly paper has some advan'
tages and some disadvantages. A few
aaucers containing a mixture Of one
mint OF water, one tablespoonful OF
TormaIdehyde commonly known as
formalin). and one tablespoonful Of
sugar will be efiicacious. II not much
water is exposed in the room.
The proposers recommend that
pieces Of bread saturated with this So
tuition be placed in plates and these
exposed in places inaccessible to chill
,dren and domestic animals.
When the place is not being used 1t
should be darkened. whereupon fly pa
per, fly traps. or fly poison. placed
near an undarkened window, will be
.aOubly effective.
The Connecticut experiment station
has made some tests to determine how

what the health officials OF the city Of

residents Of that city do in an effort
to prevent the spreading Of disease

Some Of the truths which the health
officials are endeavorlng to bring home
are set forth In the following para

An ingenious New York doctor has
invented bichloride Of mercury tab
