WHEN TO USE HOT WATER.

For severe headaches. insomnia and
nervousness OF any sort, apply a hot
water bag to the base Of the brain. at
the nape Of the neck and to the feet
Remember in filling the bag to
leave room for air inside the bag, so
that 1t will be soft and pliabIe, fitting
snugly around the aching parts. II the
headache is in the front OF the head.
forehead and temples, wiring out flannel
cloths in very hot water, to which you
can add a little vinegar II you like.
For toothache, earache, neuralgia and
light touches OF rheumatism. the hot
water bag is invaluable. Understand
it will not cure. The cause OF pain
eventually must be found and removed,
but there is no reason why the sufferer.
especially she who wakes up in agony
in the middle Of the night, should not
be given relief when so simple thing
as hot water will effect 1t.
The bag should be filed with water
as hot as it car be obtained, and then
covered with soft cloths so as not to
burn the skin. Sometimes in case Of
nervous shock and bad circulation, the
patients skin may be burnt before she
has any sensation.
In case OF a severe bruise. apply hot
water Immediately. A nail on finger
or toe may be saved by prompt appli-
cation Of this very simply remedy. The
bandage must be changed directly II
cools, and the treatment kept up for
twenty minutes You will be amazed
to see how the black and blue mark from
congested blood will disappear under hot
water applications.
The man or woman who spends long
weary days on foot, often wastes on a
chiropodist money which could be spent
to better advantage The chiropodist at
best gives but temporary relief, while
proper bathing of the feet will effect a
cure. Battle tired feet nightly with wa
ter as hot as you can bear, adding a tea
spoon Of sea salt to the basin of water.
This sea salt can be bought in boxes
or bags Of any druggist
In case of acute indigestion, hot wa
ter. as hot as the patient can sip 1t,
taken very slowly, will bring relief

TIMELY OUNCE RECIPES.

In making ounce Jelly cover the cores,
parings and as many ounces cut In
small pieces as you may desire with
cold water, and simmer slowly for sew
eral hours, adding more water as II
cooks away While the use of the seeds
darkens the jelly, they contain such an
mount of the pectose, or jellying sub
stances, that most housekeepers prefer
to use them with the cores and skin.
When reduced to a pulp pour into a
flannel bag and let. drip overnight. In
the morning boil the Juice twenty min
utes, skim thoroughly, add an equal
weight of sugar. which has been heated
in the oven, and boil until it jelles when
dropped on a cool plate. T&n into
glasses and cover with paraffin.
Ounce MarmaIade.
Put the cooked pulp through a puree
sieve and allow three-fourths Of a
pound of fruit Boil, stirring almost
constantly, until smooth and firm. Put
in jars, cover with parafin and keep
in a dry place.
Baked Ounces.
While the ounces are Just at their
best, golden and fragrant. try baking
going on is usually best for this pur-
pose, as ounces require several hours to
give them the fine deep red color that
makes them so pleasing to the eye
Core and pare them. saving peeIing and
cores for jelly. Put them in a shallow
earthen dish half full and bake several
hours in a moderate oven. Cover them
while baking, but baste frequently with
the syrup. They are delicious when
eaten hot with butter and sugar, OF
served cold with sweetened whipped
cream.

MILE. TREVILLE sings
SONGS OF LONG Ago
Artist Delights Columbia Audience in
Program Covering 18th, 18th.
and 10Th Centuries.

Atrnosphere-the atmosphere OF. three
periods Of Song-is the keynote Of inter-
est that centers In Mile. Yvonne de Tre-
viIle's performances In her appearance
at the Columbia Theater yesterday af-
ternoon, three periods, the eighteenth,
nineteenth, and twentieth centuries were
represented In costume and in song.
In the eighteenth century representa-
ton, the highly elaborate costume of the
Louis XIV period was in pleasing har-
mony with the pretty conventional senti-
ment of the 'Menuet Chante" Of LuIIi,
the 'PhIllis" Of Anthony Young, and
Henry Carey's ''Pastorale," and the
quaint cu-tsy OF perfect grace of Mile.
Trevine was but a convincing element 10
an already perfect eighteenth century
atmosphere.
In the songs Of the nineteenth century,
the Theme with variations of Proch,
and the mad scene from Camp of ST.
esia." of Meyerbeer, gave Mile. Treville
an opportunity to take those remarkable
vocal flights for which she Is celebrated.
Trills and rouiades, rapid flights up and
down the scale; every difficulty known TO
coloratura was displayed with ease and
facility. In contrast with these flights
of vocal gymnastics were three beautiful
Scandinavian folk songs. In this group
Of songs Mile. Treville wore a costume
reminiscent Of the Jenny Lind period.
The twentieth century was represented
by an aria from Carpenters Louise"
Cadman's "Thistledown,' Frances Wy
mans Song OF Spring" "Auf der
Bleiche" of Bungert-Carmen sylvia, and
a "Chanson Provencale' of Dell Acqua
These were given in a costume OF ultra
contemporary style. In the last named
song the clarity and beauty and the
flexibIlIty OF Mile. Treville's voice was
greatly enhanced by style and diction.
II was one of her best performances Of
which wyman's Song Of Spring" was
another.

Duchesse de Gramont, gave a crinoline
ball in June the frocks of the guests
were much discussed as possible shapers
OF fashion. Then the crinoline idea
seemed to subside. Full skirts there
were. but hardly did they suggest Grim
olines.
Now again the crinoline prediction is
voiced. and this time with visible mod
els to back II up. The stiffening is only
at the hem, Of course, and that stiffen-
ing is slight. But 1t is there, in many
new frocks.
One manner Of finishing a long tunic
Is also suggestive OF crinolines. 1t Is
this: The edge OF the tunic, which is
of lace or tulle, is bound with metallic
braid. strong and heavy, and then this
braid is twisted and pinched into a reg
ular series OF undulations-and as the
braid is heavy, It holds the sheer tunic
in position.

CIVIC FRIENDLINESS.


When an industry moves from one
means for many Of its employees de-
serting homes dearly paid for. taking
children out of school, breaking of
church and lodge afaliations, says The
Survey.
It was for this reason that Decatur,
Ill, through its Chamber of Commerce,
determined to do everything in its
power to make the locomotive shopmen
employed by the Wabash railroad like
their new place of residence when the
road moved its machinery from the old
shops in Springfield to the new plant
in Decatur, one Of the largest of its
kind in the world.
When they learned that they were
to be transferred to Decatur the shop
men sent a committee to that city to
investigate. The report was unfavor-
able. The shopmen were informed that
vacant houses were few, that rents
were high and board excessive.
It was then that the Decatur Cham
ber Of Commerce interested itself. An
investigation Of almost every boarding
house in the city disproved the report
that board was excessive. A meeting
Of builders was called. and though
NO definite promises were secured az to
how many houses they would erect. the
chamber satisfied itself that enough
would be provided by the following
spring.
Through its secretary, John "a. Byrne.
the chamber compiled list Of boarding
houses, secured the names Of the shop
men who were coming and encouraged
real estate men to write them with a
view to finding out their needs.
On the morning the advance guard
Of the newcomers. some bringing their
wives and children. were due to arrive.
the Chamber Of Commerce officials. ac-
companied by 20 citizens each with his
automobile, met the train. escorted the
/, shopmen to the waiting machines and
took them ON q, ten-mile ride over the
principal streets and through the park.
At the end Of the ride any lingering
feeling Of prejudice and hostility had
been removed and shopmen shook
hands with their hosts. The news
travelled back to Springfield with the
result that shopmeh who had been
planning to 80 elsewhere decided to re-
main with the Wabash and make De-
catur their home.
It required little effort fnr city to
