TAKE THINGS IN TIME.

1t is possible to correct almost any

! at least. If 1t is taken in time.
Early summer. when most of us are In
I better health than at any other time OF
! year. is a good time to take account OF
, our physical defects and set about to
, correct them. For summer, although its
heat Is disagreeable to many. is a time
when strength and health should be
abundant. and any corrective campaign
can best he carried on when the system
is in good general condition.
For instance. summer Is a good time
! to correct a poor complexion. 1t is easy
to eat sensibly in summer. when fresh
fruits and vegetables are abundant to
exercise, to breathe deeply. to stay in
the open air, to drink plenty of water
AL OF these things go to make a clear
complexion and really do far more than
massage and cosmetics in that direc-
ton.

set about improving 1t now. Shampoo it
carefully and regularly, give 1t a sun and
air bath every day, wear hat as little
as possible. but instead shade il from
the glaring midsummer sun with a para
sol II it is dry. massage the scalp with
some oily hair tonic. If 1t is oily. the

now to gain normal size. The fat wom-
an should forego rich dishes. sweets and
starch to great degree. A diet made
up chiefly of salads and fresh fruit will
do much to make her thin. Fresh fruits
and salads, too. are the boon of the girl
that Is too thin. for they put her gem

she should also eat generously Of but

Graying Hair.

Hair should be allowed to grow gray
naturally. All dyes are more or less
undesirable. and destroy the beauty of
the hair. Some are actually dangerous.
Let us gracefully accept the changing
color that time brings. 1t harmoniZes
with the face which has been changed
by time and sorrow. Many faces are
softened and beautified by white hair
1t is more graceful and dignified not to
attempt to repair the ravages Of time
Many persons are given to pulling out
solitary gray hairs that make their
appearance early. They could not do
anything more foolish. The hair is SIM
ply broken of at the root and the de-
cayed nutriment escapes, inoculating the
hair in the immediate vicinity As a
consequence for every gray hair pulled
out five more make their appearance.

June 1O-Cara Novello,

Il q
It would be hard to find a noted ,inr.
er whose life presents more happiness
and more adventure than that of Clara
Anastasia Novello, Countess GiKiiuccf
| who was born June 10, 1918. She was the
fourth daughter Of Vincent Novello the
famous London organist. her eldest Sis
ter being Mary Victoria Cowden- Clarke.
| Like all the members of this family
Clara showed remarkable talents as a
child. and she was sent when still young
to York, England. to study music under
famous organist there and singing
with the leading soprano In York cathed-
raj
When she was only IL Clara had an
opportunity to show her talents when.
on an Easter Sunday. her teacher, be-
cause Of illness. was unable to take her
part in the cathedral service Clara
showed her ability by volunteering to
sing all the scores for the teacher from
memory. and achieved her task with rare
ability for a child of her years. About
this time she was sent to Paris to study
under the great masters there, and at L.
she returned to England. where she
made her first real public appearance at
a concert at Windsor Castle. She met
with great enthusiasm. and two years
later she took the soprano part in Beeth-
ovens "Missa Solonnis." a remarkable
accomplishment for a girl of A.
BY 1885. when she was Il. Clara was
acknowledged to be the first singer of
! the day. Her voice was a clear soprano,
perfectly trained and under excellent
control She was especially admired In
England in her rendering of Handers
music and her voice was especially
adapted to this type of composition.
When she was 10 she went to Italy.
where she was asked to sing for the
Easter holidays In both Rome and Genoa.
and through some misunderstanding
both these cities expected her. She ar
rived In Rome. and when the officials
of Genoa sent for her she was actually
put into prison to prevent her from es-
Gaping, SO eager were the people Of
Rome to hear her sing. While thus de-
tanned the Count Gigliucci went to visit
her. and being Immediately attracted to
her he asked to marry her. Clara seems
to have been as much enamored Of the
count. for she promised that she would
marry him as soon as she had fulfilled
her existing contracts to sing. She was
received In Rome with the widest en-
thusiasm. and the story goes that when
she did not appear for the Easter carni-
ular disturbance
After singing for a few months Clara
was married. and then retired from act
i've life. spending several years with her
husband in Italy. In the troublous days
of 1s4S the counts property was confis-
Gated. and to retrieve family fortunes
the countesS returned to the concert
stage. where her voice was as brilliant
as ever.
Clara Novello was especially admired
In the singing of Handlers anthem, IT
Know that My Redeemer Liveth," sing
ing the opening sentence in one breath.
she lived to the ripe old age Of 30

Better Than Moth Balls.

After having seen the destructive
moths fatten upon moth balls and in
cidentally my winter woolens,
found the following an excellent and
easy method of safely storing winter
clothing over the summer months:
Purchase 10 cents worth of oil of
cedar and saturate bits of cotton with
it. Tuck these in among the articles
to be packed away and wrap them
up in newspapers. You will find in
the fall that your clothing is in per-
feet condition and that il has a de-
lightful ''woodsy" odor.

STOP AND THINK.

Did it ever occur to you that every
time you telephone when you might
send a postal card you are wasting
400 per cent?"
This question was asked by prom
inent merchant of the city recently
when explaining his method Of cut
ting down petty expenses. The time
was when we looked upon the tele-
phone as an extravaganza and 4 lux
ury. We used it sparingly and only
when 4 message by mail would not
answer the purpose, but now we use
it as freely as we breathe air, cspe-
cially when we do not pay the tclc-
phone bill ourselves. In the business
office where VIC work we do not stop
to consider the cost. We telephone
home dozen times a day, sometimes
forf the most trivial reasons We
telephone TO make engagements that
might just as we'll be made by mail
and VIC telephone our Invitations and
acceptanccs with never a thought of
how the bill is mounting up.
But the telephone is, for all that,
real luxury, and perhaps one reason
why we are becoming so cxtravagant
in its use is because as children we
arc not taught to regard it as mat
ter of real expense. One woman who
ing children in the ways OF true
economy suggested that children
should not be allowed to acquire the
habit of tclephoning. Even where
the telephone service in the house is
unlimited and each additional call
does not add to the bill this regula-
ton for children is a good idea. says
this woman. Children do not really
need the telephone. Their messages
to each other arc never so urgent
as to need this means OF commune
cation
SO this wise mother put q little
pastcboard box by the side OF the
telephone box with a lit in the
top. And whenever a child used the
telephone. that child had to drop a
scent piece in the little box. As it |
happened, the telephone was paid |
for q: a fiat rate by the year. but
nevertheless, the mother felt that !
.ach call represented scent charge |
As may be imagined, the paste
board box remained surprisingly
empty. When one OF the children
thought of the choice OF walking two
blocks to find out il friend could
come to play. and of depositing 1 !
nickel in the little box-a nickel that |
would buy new notebook, cake
OF chocolate or longed-for nick |
mack 1t the toy storc-the walk was !
usually chosen. And so a habit of !
economy and lack OF sclf-in dull !
gcncc were developed

Advice to Housewives.

To set the color in light shades OF
pink and blue soak the goods in salt
water with a small lump of alum added.
Use the alum alone for the different
shades of lilac and violet. After the
color has been set. wash the garments
in warm borax suds which will help to
keep the color in the goods.
Instead Of gluing on the loose handle
Of an umbrella II IL much better to
wind a thread around the stick and then
screw on the handle.
When sponging lace rub from the
selvage to the edge and II will not
stretch or pull out Of shape
When washing the stains out of cotton
never rub soap directly on the
Stain. as it leaves a mark. First wet
the cloth and partly wash It out in
clear water.
To remove paint stains from clothing
saturate the spots two or three times
with equal parts Of ammonia and tur-
pentine and then wash in the regular
way.
Fruit for canning should Be fresh. firm.
Of good quality. and not overripe.
For canning fruit allow one-third It's
weight in sugar and two and . half to
three cupfuls Of water to each pound
Of sugar.

Sc n SOUR disposition sooner o,
| ~ later leads to a sour stomach.
| So says an eminent authority
on the subject
| An exaggerated statement, you say!
On the contrary. dyspepsia Is but one of
the numerous ailments that follow in
the train |of this disease-for as such II
must e/classified-called worry.
Some Of the ills directly traced to the
effects Of worry on the human body are
| apoplexy, anaemia. loss Of weight, ap-
petite and sleep. constipation, lack OF
resistance. hardening of the arteries and
dyspepsia. A truly formidable list. and
this is not one-half; indeed. as many more
again and still the list would be incom-
plete.
1t has been proved without doubt or
fear Of cavil that the origin Of nine
tenths Of the diseases that afflict man.
kind are attributable to worry. so 1t Is
indeed high time to look into this buga-
boo that SO endangers the health. happi-
ness and life of thousands of people
A three-volume book would be too
short to treat this exhaustless subject in
all its different phases. and as the space
at my disposal is limited. shall endeavor
to touch lightly on all the more i'm
portant points Of cause and effect Of
worry.
To begin with. worry is not incident
to age. The troubles Of the small child
are just as real-or, imaginary and be-
come real-as those Of old age, and the
girl in her teens suffers Just as acutely
(mentally) as the mature. intelligent
reasoning woman of IS. Is there a per-
son living that cannot look back to a
time In her life when. as a child, she
suffered agonies Of humiliation from be-
ing fnappropriately dressed at some i'm
portant function of child life?
lI has been said that man il the only
animal that makes himself ridiculous by
worry" From numerous experiments
made upon lower animals. 1t has been
proved that all their actions are purely
instructive: they have no former mem
cries and in consequence-no worries.
So the conclusion to be drawn is that
We are all. more or less. the victims of
. high degree of civilization.
But we are not left defenceless, At the
mercies of force stronger than our
selves; It Ii we'll within our power to
fight and successfully combat this enemy.
Every one has heard the expression
about persons that have faced q grave
danger, "He-or shielded a thousand
deaths In those few moments." Il IL

the things that people ind to worry
about. and the epitaph that might with
