HOUSEHOLD WORK
MUST Be SANITARY
DR.. Dixon Presents a Few
Thoughts on the Subject Of
Sanitation at Home

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State commits
sioner of Health, says that people do
not give enough attention to household
sanitation. He declares that if they
would look after some of the details
at home everyone would be better off.
The commissioner gives these ideas:
Undoubtedly some ancient SANTA
rian was responsible for the proVerb
that, Cleanliness is next to godliness."
While the majority of people accept
this in theory, unfortunately when it
comes to practice weakness develops.
In ninety-nine out of every hundred
homes there are corners in attic or
cellar, under the kitchen sink and the
bottom of the pantry cupboard that
somehow or other seem to regularly
escape cleanup days.
Accumulation is q mania with
some people. The way in which it
manifests itself may vary but the re-
suit is the same. 1t is responsible for
filling our houses with an enormous
amount of wholly unnecessary truck
which serves to make cleanliness diff
cult.
Dirt and even filth are not neces-
sarily direct cause of disease, but
generally there is an association. Or
ganic material which is left about be-
comes breeding place for bacteria
and flies. Careless habits of mind and
body are cultivated and fostered by
careless habits of living. 1t is certain
that child raised in a home where
there is Indifference to the household
cleanliness, can hardly be expected to
develop an appreciation of the virtue
and advantage of cleanly habits
"The same influences within a house
are equally true regarding it's sur
roundings. A peep at the backyard
will give you far better insight into
the character of the occupants of the
dwelling than a study of the front
door. Ashes, garbage and rubbish
scattered in the rear of dwelling are
not conducive to good health or de-
cency.
Cleanliness and wholesomeness go
hand in hand, see that your house
hold sanitation is all that it should be
and make these twin sisters of good
health welcome in your home"

''Business?"
Warren looked up absently, What,
the letter? Yes, in a way.
The answer was evasive and Helen
could not ask anything more because
with a final sweep of everything into
his drawer Warren closed his desk
and rose to go.
We'll stay downtown to dinner:
would you like that?" he said good
naturedly.
"All right, dear, but I'll have to tele-
phone Nora"
GO ahead while I wash up. I'm as

And Helen turned to the telephone
with little ache at her heart that
she never felt before in her life.

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and q
few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply mosten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and is soft. fresh look
ing, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy
to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

A CONFUSION OF TONGUES

The peace palaver OF the Interna-
tional Congress OF Women. which
closed its stormy sessions. Saturday.
at The Hague. was anything but unan-
imous in sentiment Probably It did
better than was expected OF Il, con-
sidering that the warning nations
were represented in its councils. II
was a heavy draft on human nature
to ask the Belgian women to shake
hands with German representatives.
That they didn't do II. is not to their
discredit One OF the Belgian dele
gates could not keep still under the
strain of the peace talk that was IN
dulged in by the pacihsts. and TO the
normal mind she stated her case ad-
mirably when she dramatically ex-
claimed: II am a Belgian before ev-
erything, and cannot think as you
do. There can be no peace without
Justice. The war must continue until
the Belgians' wrongs have been right
ed. There must be no mediation. ex-
cept at the bar OF Justice" A radical.
but patriotic English woman took
practically the same view In stating
that for every woman in England who
favored peace "a thousand were will

bands TO fight"

who naturally for mixed selfish and
humanitarian reasons wish for peace
without reference TO the adjudication
Of any of the questions arising out OF
the war. Evidently the cry Of the
Belgian delegate will dominate.
there can be no peace without Jus
tice." The representations the WON
en- may make to the neutral powers
will do no harm. and any offers Of
mediation the powers may make to
the belligerents will do no good. To
The Intelligencer It looks as n the
conflict had settled down 10 an en-
durance contest. and that there will
be no peace OF hope OF II until one Of
the forces IL exhausted. or the endur-
snce Of both collapses for lack OF

In the first month Of this year
all business men OF the United
States were OF a blush cast OF
mind and could see nothing oct
ter ahead. The last weeks OF Ap-
ril saw a decided change In senti-
ment due 10 increased orders. and
the stock market was booming.
With apparent suddenness All
conditions have chAnged-but, in
truth. the change has not been as
sudden as IL appeared. Condi-
tons have slowly but steadily
been improving since the middle
OF 1914. In spite OF the set-bac
caused by the outbreak of the
European war.
Wall street operators have
nearly always been ahead OF the
general public In forecasting
depression or a period OF pros
perity. but this year the public
seems 10 have gotten ahead OF
Wall street. Not until business
Improvement was considerably
under way did Wall street specu-
lators wake up TO the fact that
better days were here. Morrow
er. this return to prosperity Is not
caused by war orders. Although
these war orders are spectacular
yet in the aggregate they are only

with the orders which We would
receive from Europe In peaceful
times.
II is true that the war has sud
