A Pet Canary
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
A canary was given to me, and |
have no idea about how to take
care of it, VIII you please give me
some information? / have been told
that you have to be very careful
about what you give them to eat,
or they will not sing. Please an

In the first place be sure that the
cage is perfectly clean. Unscrew
the top and take out the perches
and seald them every day. as it is
in these crevices that the little bugs
hide Go over the cage carefully
with a cloth dampened with kero-
sene and then, of course, air 1t
thoroughly before returning the lit
tie fellow to his home. Hang lit
tie thin cloth bag of powdered sui
phur In the cage in such a position
that the bird will knock against 1t
as he jumps from perch to perch.
At night cover the cage with light
cloth that can. be burned. Examine
it every morning and see how many
of the bugs have gathered on it,
And now to the bird. Try to have
him battle regularly. Put his tub
in every morning whether he uses
il or not, as the chances are that
he will cultivate the habit If the
water is at hand at the same time
every day.
Be very careful that the bird il
not in a draft. If you hang him n
the window lower him so that the
air that comes through the cracks

all the sun he wants, but don't let
the direct rays Of the sun beat on
him in the hot days of summer.
Give him fresh water in the morn
ing and again during the dav and
feed him on the plain bird seed. The
fancy varieties are apt to be too
fattening. Give him little piece
of green or a piece of apple few
times a week, but don't overfeed in
this direction, as it may not be
good for his health. Try to keep
the temperature of the room the
same day and night.

Removing Superfluous Hair

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly tell me how to re-
move superhuous hair2 This was
given in your paper once before, but
l lost 1t. Thanking you in advance,
DOROTHY D.
The electric needle is the only
permanent method of removing
superfiuous hair, and 1t Is success
ful only when the needle actually
strikes the hair root. The method
is painful. am told, and expensive.
Equal parts Of peroxide of hydro
gen and ammonia, applied frequent
", will bleach the hairs and in time
cause them to break off close to the
roots. If the mixture initiates apply
a soothing cream.
There are several excellent depila-
tories on the market, but l cannot
tell you their names, as proprietary
articles are not mentioned In this

Seven Sensible Suggestions

Do not dust in the sick room with
a dry buster. Use a cheese cloth
wrung out Of warm water or OIL
treated, to ensnare dust and germs.
Keep a bottle brush hanging over
the sink and use 1t to clean milk
pitchers, vinegar cruets, or any dish
into which you cannot get your hand.
Keep another for use In cleaning lamp
chimneys.
Coris may be made air-tight and
water tight by being immersed in oil
for a few minutes.
A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges
Of a door will prevent its creahing.
Turpentine will be found very good
for cleaning an enamel or porcelain
tub.
To polish stoves, use boiled linseede
oil on the steel parts. Rub well with
wooden cloth.
A tablespoonful Of sugar of lead in
one gallon of water will permanently
set the color In any cloth If used be-
fore the cloth Is washed.

Velvet for Young Girls

The velvet dresses for young girls
will be the smart thing for after
noon dresses for winter. They are
made with a long waist, with short
skirt made of two circular f1ounces;
between these Is satin belt or sash
A collar of pique or lace, cut sailor
or rounded is the usual neck finish.
The sleeveless overblouses Of velvet
that are seen on the grown up
dresses are also a feature of those
worn by girls OF fourteen. They are
rather like a MILDLY blouse in shape,

larged, so that the foundation dress

things in the shops. Small black vel

Of black grosgrain ribbon at one side.

For Insomnia

If you are troubled with sleepless-
ness try drinking cup of warm milk
or chocolate before going TO bed. A
warm bath is also a wonderful sleep

about the most wholesome kind OF

been out of doors. Windows should
always be kept open.
Above all, don't worry before going
to sleep. Relax and be perfectly in

Mildew on White Clothes

Mildew is a very difficult stain
to remove, and cannot be taken
out of linen unless the effort is
made soon after it appears. A light,
fresh stain may be treated success
