hailed him as the worst bit of ivory

Raisino the Diver,

Divers working under great pressures
REQUIRE more than an hour to be drawn
to the surface, says the American Boy.
Not that they are down so deep In the
water, for the worlds record for depth,
made by Chief Gunner's Mate Frank
Crilley. U. S. N, is only 2SO feet But
If they are brought to the surface Inn
mediately and their helmets removed
they are liable to die Of the bends"
as the divers call it. Under the water
the divers body becomes accustomed
to the greatly increased air pressure
under which he works. At enormous
pressure his body through breathing
and the blood becomes veritably sat
urated with the gases we breathe.
If brought TO the surface suddenly
the change in pressure causes the gases
penned in the body to tear their way
out through the soft tissue Of the body
organs. So the pressure must be slow
" decreased to let the gases work out
Of the body gradually. Consequently
the diver Is raised to the surface very
slowly. When Diver Drellishak was
working on raising the IA United
States submarine at Honolulu In as
cending he was kept at depth Of ten
feet below the surface for more than
an hour.

Dried Apples.

Peel. core and slice the apples. Place
them on platters, wooden trays o. any
other convenient receptacle and place
them in the sunshine. Take them in
at night and during rains. 1t is impos-
sible to secure good dried fruit unless
they are protected from moisture. Pro
tect them from flies and other insects
with netting and place them out Of the
dust as far as possible. Continue the
drying until the fruit has lost more
than half its weight. If necessary it
may be placed in the oven for two or
three hours at the end. Tie the dried
fruit in paper sacks, using a double
thickness If thin skin sacks are used,
and suspend them from the ceiling OF
the driest room available. When ready
to use the dried fruit wash it well, soak
it for six hours or longer and throw
away the liquid drained of. Then cook
the fruit for several hours at a tenn
perature slightly below the boiling
point--Mothers' Magazine.

Blackberries,

The real greatness of a blackberry
is in the eating it fresh from the bush.
1t does not need sugar and cream. 1t
does not need anything but a thumb
and finger and a mouth. The mushy
ones that grow big in the shade may
be improved by doctoring, but the firm
ones of moderate size that grow in
the open fields are not susceptible Of
improvement by human art We know
4 man, raised in the country in middle
Tennessee, who came back from Okla
homa in his old age just to fill himself
once more with blackberries as they
grow. Nobody who knows what real
blackberries are would think him fool
ish. A man might almost come back
from paradise for a feast like that

Beauty and Good Habits.

1t is impossible to be beautiful with
out being healthy. Health Is the
foundation Of beauty. If one wants to
be really beautiful the beauty must be
more than skin deep. The trouble with
most people is that they are quite sat
isfied with beauty that is superficial
enough to deceive the onlooker. Beauty
includes vigor and efficiency.
To be really beautiful one must have
not only a beautiful face, but beautiful
hands as well. not simply q good COM
pleIion for the face, but good com
plexion all over. Not lnfrequently a
persons body is covered with pimples-
With such blemishes on the face one
would feel very badly, but so long as
they are out Of sight they are not re-
garded.
The only way to be really beautiful
IL to live beautifully, to live rightly.
That means to live naturally. For e1-
ample, II one is aiming to be beautiful
one must eat beautiful things, because
our bodies are made Of what we eat
II one eats the beautiful fruits and
nuts that are hung from the trees,
inviting US to reach up and partake-
II one eats these and other natural
foods that nature has prepared for rs,
that are all pure and clean, then one
may have normal, clean blood, and the
result Of good, clean blood viii be q
clear skin and a good complexion

who fairly reveled in 1t and listened 1t
out patiently to the end At length,
when the happy turn Of fortune ar
rived which brings the hero and hero

wont to do when a member OF their

High and neck enveloping styles will
be seen in the fall neckwear The
leading material is organdie, combined
with dark satin. velvet and ribbon, so
as to make the article more suitable
for cold weather wear. Narrow edg-
ings of fur will be used in connection
with net.
High collars with jabots, side plait-
ings or double front frills are to be
worn. A new idea is q butterfly jabot
made of net and edged with narrow
veniSe lace Combinations of net with
venise edges and very fine nets shirred
on to a high stock foundation are
dressy. Georgette Grape is much used
in the new neckwear. Some styles are
trimmed with hand embroidery and
narrow laces, and even plated nets
are applied as trimming on geOrgette
Grape styles.
Narrow ribbon bows are much used
on both fluffy and tailored styles Of
neckwear Bright touches Of color and
even metallic laces and narrow cut
steel edgings appear on lace and net
neckwear as q means Of giving an in
dividuaI touch. An entirely new col
lar is the stifly starched and fiuted de-
sign.
Plaitings are made to stand high and
close around the neck, closing with a
small tailored bow. Vestees are made
more elaborate by the combination Of
materials. Ostrich boas in short, thick
effects forming rufus will again be
worn. Velvet and silk collars and neck
dressings of an elaborate character are
trimmed with f1ueS of ostrich.

Dow to Give
Baby
FRESH Hlr

Keep the baby out Of doors. This Is
the advice given nowadays to parents
by every wise physician.
Except in winter, begin when the
baby is two weeks old to take him out
for a few minutes every day in mild,
pleasant weather, increasing the time
gradually until he Is staying out most
Of the time. Probably no other thing
will do so much to insure a healthy
babyhood as this, and the result will
well repay whatever trouble is neces-
sary to secure 1t.
With the exceptions mentioned be
low. a baby may spend practically all
the time out of doors, both sleeping
and waking. if there Is some one to
look after him to see that he Is pro-
tected against sun. wind and danger
GUS insects.
A young baby may stay in his car
rage or crib on the porch, on the roof,
under the trees or in the back yard,
where the busy mother can look after
him. Older babies who need exercise
on the porch or in the yard. If it Is
not feasible to provide out of door
sleeping places for these older babies.
at least the windows of the nursery
should be kept wide open most of the
year.
When the weather is very cold, as
i'm winter in the north, when the snow
is melting or when there is heavy
storm in progress or high wind blow
ing quantities of dust about, it will be
best to give the babe his airing indoors
or on q protected porch. Dress him as
for going out, open all the windows
wide and let him remain in the fresh
air for some time.
Very young or delicate babies require
much heat and must be very warmly
covered to protect them against being
chilled, and baby under three months
of age should not be taken out In Sc
we're weather. but plenty Of fresh air
is essential to all babies.
When tho weather is excessively hot
the baby should be taken out early In
the day and then kept indoors until the
late afternoon. From that time on I'M
til the rooms have cooled in the even
ing he should be kept out, being well
protected from mosquitoes. If screen
ed porch Is available the health and
comfort of the baby will be greatly In
creased.
A word of caution should be given as
to the danger of young children climb
ing up to open windows and falling
out. If the windows have screens they
should be so carefully fastened in that
there is no possibility Of pushing them
! out. When screens are not In use the
windows should either be lowered from
the top or thin wooden Stats should be
used to protect the lower sash. Similar
precautions must be used If the baby Is
put to sleep on the fire escape. Sleep
ing porches are usually well protected
The baby's eyes and head should al
ways be carefully shielded from the
direct sunlight. This IS just as impor-
tant while he is asleep as while awake.
Do not allow the baby to lie staring up
into the sky, even when the sun Is not
| shining
Great care should be taken to protect
the baby from flies and mosquitoes. If
the house is not provided with screens
the baby's bed, crib or carriage should
be covered with netting suspended over
q pole or two clotheslines in the form
Of a tent so as not to shut or the air.
Never lay a netting directly over the
baby's face.

Although the making and distribution
of bread have been strictly regulated by the

rich people have been able to purchase
