and scalp. cannot possibly injure the

sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps OF

bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the kid

off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly. At first
you feel dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour,

Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa-

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutraliZe the acids in urine,
so it no longer is source of irrita-
ton, thus ending bladder weakness. I

Proper Use Of Perfumes.

Scents and perfumes are adapted to
different individuals and personalities.
The petite blonde woman should use
different scent from the brunette;
the languid, sensuous beauty should
indulge in perfumes forbidden to the
demure woman, or to one having a
lively temperament. Blue and brown
eyed women should use different
scents. Even the various rooms of a
house should be perfumed differently.
The hall, the dining room, the parlor,
the bedroom, all should have their dis
tinctive and individual odors. They
should not be too strong, but should
be typical of the room they specify.

Elsa, usually quick and receptive, did

things ripen quickly in the East, men

mediately and enduringly.
He struck the Guilty against his boot

Genuine bronzes must never be

sionally they may be washed with

rarely 1t is sufficient to dust them
regularly with the aid of soft brush
and a soft chamois leather.
Steel things also require daily dust
ing if they are to be kept bright, and
it is essential not to let them become
wet, since dampness is very difficult
to remove. Once week steel orna-
ments should be polished with fine en-
cry paper and then given final rub

soft buster or leather. Once in three
weeks a paste made Of emery powder

HOW NOISE BREAKS WINDOW
Sound Waves in the Air Have Only to
Be Powerful Enough to Get
Results.

Noise is an irregular wave in the air
which is real thing, and has weight
and power, remember. A wave OF air
may break a window exactly as the
wave in the sea will break break
water, though, as the name tells us,
the breakwater will break the wave,
as long as that wave is not too strong.
If you will think minute you will
see that every time noise gets
through shut window it shakes the
window. If the noise is coming in
from the street the air outside is
thrown into waves which pass through
it until they strike the window, and
shake it; then the window shakes the
air inside the room in exactly the
same way as the air outside shook 1t,
only perhaps not quite so strongly.
And so the noise reaches you, just as
if you had heard it outside, only not
quite so loud. Well, plainly, the noise
has only to be louG enough-that is to
say, the waves in the air have only to
be big enough-to shake the window
more than it can stand, and then 1t
breaks.

VALUE in EFFICIENCY CHART
Enables Worker to Ascertain Just
What Is Worth of Work That He
Is Doing.

One way to increase your value is to
find out exactly where you stand, and
Just how much Of your possible best
you are attaining.
Businesses are examined carefully,
charts and measurements, averages
and possibilities, all are used and tab
ulated, according to a writer in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. A business man
of any real sense wants to know
whether he is getting the best re-
turn for what he is putting into his
business. Sometimes he calls in an
expert to help him find out; sometimes
he works it out himself
The same idea applied to yourself
will prove distinctly worth while.
Make out a chart, divided into three
portions horizontally. and these again
many sections as required. At the left
write on the margin, for the top strip,
What Is Asked of Me. For the second
horizontal division write What Do.
For the lowest, write What | Might
Do.
Over the top of the sheet write the
headings for the various subdivisions,
which must differ according to your
job. Suppose we put Promptness,
Manners, Quickness, Neatness, Intelli-
gence, Thoroughness, Cheerfulness,
Amount of Work Done, New Ideas, Ini-
tiative, down as suggestions. In the
lowest row write under each heading
what your ideal accomplishment
would be. On top. what you must do
to make good at the job, and to stand
a chance of rising, In the middle what
you actually do, and be strictly honest
with yourself in filling this out.
Call it your efficiency chart, and
keep it for a month. If you do that,
you are pretty sure to go on keeping
it, 1t will help you to find out about
yourself, it will urge you to improve,
and it will interest you to see how you
do improve. think you will very soon
decide that time spent on such chart
is not wasted.
