GOOD DRESSING.
Neatness 10 an Important Factor In Its
Accomplishment.

Nsstness Is an Important Factor In Its
Accomplishment.
Proper care OF ones clothing plays
an important part in good dressing,
for a really well dressed woman is,
first of all, neat Not only are her
clothes spotless, but every article Is
adjusted with infinite care as well, and
the clothes In reserve are as well look
ed after as those in use.
No one may be considered well
dressed who has button of, a seam
ripped or a spot In evidence. To de-
serve the title OF well dressed there
must be no gaping division OF belt and
skirt or shoes run over at the heels.
A systematic overhauling at stated
periods of all clothing In use Is alb
solutely necessary, and all clothing in
reserve should be cleaned thoroughly
before being put away.

Oatmeal indicated.

Investigations conducted at Harvard
into the food values of common arti.
cles prove that oatmeal gives the high
est nutriment of them all Tor the
price. You can't question the imparti-
ality, of verdict rendered in the
classic suburb OF Boston that gives
baked beans only second place.
Really it's good news to have an old
friend thus approved. Oatmeal won
its spurs in the home long ago, and,
literally drenched yith cream, 1t Is as
good to the taste as anything we know.
In these days of the more easily pre-.
pared rolled oats even restaurant oat-
meal is edible. And now we may turn
ourselves loose on it without fear that
we are being starved.
We cant leave this latest coronation
without recalling the old story of the
Englishman who slightingly described
oatmeal as 'in England food for
horses, in Scotland food for men!" and
the keener retort Of the Scot who
heard him. And where will ye find
such horses. and where will ye find
such men?"

How to Test Water.

Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity for pure water. When you are
away from home, and are not sure of
the character of the water supply, it
would not be bad idea to make a few
simple tests. The results may prove
that it was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble. Here are two tests
that you can make very easily:
Fill tumbler with water drop in a
lump of white sugar. cover it with a
saucer, and let 1t stand overnight on
the bricks at the side of the range, on
the kitchen mantelpiece, or, in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 60 degrees. II next
morning the contents are clear. the
water is pure. II. on the other hand,
the liquid is cloudy, some source Of
contamination is indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop a few
grains Of permanganate Of potash into
a tumbler Of water, cover, and let
stand for an hour. II the water is still
OF the bright rosy color to which the
chemical turned it. 1t is perfectly safe
for drinking; II it is of brownish
color. 1t is impure, although the i'm
