Are You a Victim of Mysophobia?

It is fifty chances in a hundred that
you are suffering from mySophobia,
especially if you live in the city and are
fairly well of. Very poor folk and coun-
try people seldom suffer from this
malady.
When you take your seat at a table in
a restaurant or cafe do you begin opera
tions by examining the glass Of water?
Do you scrutinize it for possible finger
marks and eye it critically to see that
there are no dregs in the water?
Do you look critically at the plate set
before you to see that it is immaculate
and wipe the various forks and spoons
on the napkin surreptitiously to do away
with the germs?
When your order is brought to you do
you taste each article critically, mine
ingly. not with the fastidiousness Of an
epicure who takes pleasure in the flavor
Of food. but with the dread and caution
of one who fears germ at every turn?
If you do any Of these things, alack
and alas! You have it. You have caught
it, You are suffering from the latest Of
all pnODldS-Illg bOHLlObld- 4lASllb III PAeAAAA
English. is morbid fastdiousness.
If you worry about your food you may
he sure that nothing you eat will do you
very much good. If you begin by dis
liking a number of perfectly good arti-
cles Of food you will end by disliking
them all. This year you dislike eggs, next
YOU will dislike anything that has olive
oil in its makeup, by another year you
Will have added potatoes and tomatoes to
the list, vinegar and lemon juice will
come next. and before long there will not
he a single article on the bill Of fare that
will suit you.
Perfectly healthy men and women-men
and women whose muscle work balances
their brain work-are never fnicaL. They
eat whatever good food is set before them
and they never worry about germs and
microbes. If the food tastes good, that
IS all there is to it They like it and it
agrees" with them.
Whether or not you become victim of
Inysophobia rests largely with yourself.
1t is sometimes due to early training, to
PARENTS who INDUCED your silly little
childish whims. Sometimes it is due to
the fact that you haven't enough else to
think of. and sometimes. of course. it is
due to actual illness. But in ninety nine
cases out of every hundred mysophobia
is merely a state of mind. II you make
up your mind to free yourself of its
bondage you can do it. and in doing so
YOU will make yourself and those YOU live
with very much happier.

Collection of Rare Laces and Linen.

DR.. John Adriance, of Williamstown,
Mass, has recently purchased from a
New York firm a wonderful collection
of laces and embroideries valued at
$4,000 At present DIR. Adriance will
keep these rare webs in his own hand
some home, but it is possible that
later they will be placed in some
museum. They were gathered together
in a seven years search by the head
of the linen department of Lord G.
Taylor's and include about fifty pieces,
such as bedspreads, tablecloths, scarfs,
panels. fans and delicate pieces of
and Austrian embroidery. II is said

that one piece known as the Amschet-
ia took five or six persons ten years
to create. Another handsome bed
spread of antique Venetian lace was
part of the dowry of a bride in 1900.

HER

AND NOIRS
January 14-EIizabeth Julia HaseT.

A linguist of rare endowments and ac-
quirements, and one of the most kind
hearted of all English women, Elizabeth
Julia Hasell is worthy of remembrance
on this eIghty-fifth anniversary of her
birth. She was carefully educated in her
child she taught herself Latin. Later
she added to her linguistic accomplish
ments a thorough understanding of
Greek, Spanish. and Portuguese.
For many years her chief interest was
IN Greek literature, but later the Ian
Guages of Southern Europe focused her
attention. She was one Of the most pro-
flcient students of the poetry of Tasso
in England.
But Miss Hasell was more than q stu
dent-she took a very active and prac-
tical kind OF interest in the cause OF
education, and walked long distances
across hills in all sorts of weather to
teach gratuitously in village schools, to
deliver addresses, and TO conduct exRmi-
nations.
Not only in spreading education. but in
relieving the actual wants Of the scat
tered population dwelling about her home
did Miss Hasell expend her energies. She
went about on her missions of charity
through rain and shine and through fair
weather and foul. until at last she un-
dermined her health past recovery. From
the results Of these exertlOns she finally
succumed, and her death was said to
have been directly due to her untiring
devotion to the unfortunate and unedu
Gated. Miss H9sell was a woman Of un-
usually religious nature, and besides her
books on literary subjects, for which her
celebrity rests, she wrote many estlma-
BILE religious pamphlets. One Of these.
Via Crucis ct Lucis," is still read in
England.

From the appearance of New York. Sc
far as the world of clothes is concerned
one might imagine that every woman OF
fashion contemplated flight from the
Northern blasts to find comfort and a
chance to wear pretty clothes under
Southern suns.
The exclusive shops that deal In
wOmens raimert are filled with piles of
dainty frOCks and tiers of summery hats.
The drcssmaking establishments that ca
ter to the wants of the fashionable are
putting through rush orders for their
SOuthern-goinG patrons.
In a few weeks the situation will have
changed. In spite OF everything that has
been done to stimulate American designed
fashions, it is quite true that the makers
and wearers Of clothes are breathlessly
awaiting tn" Paris openings. AS soon as
these have been held. there will be a rush
on this side of the Atlantic to renovate
wardrobes in the North according to the
new ideas promulgated by Paris.
The effort made by Paris to retain her
place in the fashion world is rather pa

Hanger for Furs.

Every woman knows that furs should
not be folded nor hung over a sharp
edge, and a recent invention by French
man points the way to care for furs with
out very much trouble or expense. A
roller with a large diameter Is provided

"A wire hanger which engages these
rings and having a hook by which 1t may
be hung in a closet or upon a support
in a display window completes the de-

The Boon of Fresh Air.

The first night that soldier spends
in the hospital his greatest pain and
greatest discomfort seldom comes from
the wounds that have brought him
there. With the help of skillful sur
gerry and careful nursing this can be
relieved. But the great distress comes
from iack of air.
These soldiers-whom we pity for
having to sleep in the trenChes-have
become so accustomed to breathing
Gods fresh air both night and day
that the best ventilated of hospitals
seem close and stuffy, and the soldiers
find keen distres In staying confined
within their walls for the first twenty
four hours.
We have most OF US had somewhat
similar experiences as these soldier
boys. After q weeks camping trip. or a
few nights sleeping on the mountain
side, We come back to the four walls
Of our own bedrooms only to find
that we feel stifled Choked. and that we
wake not refreshed fter a nights sleep.
Like the soldier boys We have become
accustomed to the broader, freer ex-
istenCe of the outdoors and our lungs
rebel at being cheated out of their
just due.
But in order to sleep in the open we
do not need sleeping pOrChes, noun
tain sides or trenches in the war zones
Of Europe. If We simply open our
Windows-open them wide and leave
them oDen We will receive just as ben
ofiCial results. II we feel chilly or be
gin to shiver. instead Of closing the
windows We should add more warm
clothing. but never more than we need
for comfort.

great fire burned down every house

Thursday, january II, 1918.
AstroIogers find this an unimportant
day. so far as planetary influences are
concerned. While Venus and Uranus
are family benefic in aspect, Jupiter is
slightly adverse.
1t is fairly auspiciOUs time for love
affairs, which will multiply during the
year. The seers fOretell such an access
of romance and sentiment that even
persons of mature years will put too
much emphasis upon emotional eXpe-
riences.
This influence toward romance will
be reflected in the theaters which will
present stume plays and poetic
dramas. it is prophesied
\ new school of literature is prom
ised within the next few years. when
writer's will depart from established
forms of expression and obtain eN-
traordinary effects. Just as the stars
presaged the dancing mania. so now
they foreshadOw the prevalence OF
new ideas in fiction and verse.
On this day it is not wise to make
investments. Bankers. fnanCiers. and
brokers should be cautious.
Again the foreign soOthsayers predict
a disaster for New York City. Whether
this is from war or from a Cataclysm OF
nature is not revealed.
Children will demand more atten-
tion this year than ever before. Owing
to the war and TO other causes the
young will suffer. In this country
cruel poverty and need will be almost
as severe as abroad within small areas.
SatuTp may cause many disturbances
i'm cities OF the United States, the seers
warn. Labor troubles and syndiCalisttc
disturbances are foretOld for the next
few months.
\ terrible shipwreCk on the PaCIhc
Coast and disasters in the A tlantic are
gcd by the stars.
Severe weather for the next few
weeks is proGnostiCated. The South
will suffer.
Persons whose birthdate il is may
have a serene year. but they should not
lend money, although they will hear
earnest appeals for it.
Children born this day may be
rather quiCk-tempeTed. but exceeding
ly clever. These subjects Of Capricorn
are usually ambitious, self-respecting
and able to make the most of their Op-
portunitics.
Farmers are warned to watch their
live stock as much mortality is predict
ed among sheep and cattle.

Save YOUR HAIR
and BEAUTIFY IT
With ''DANDERINE'
Spend 25 cents! Dandruff dis.
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful, way
and thick in few
moments.

If you care for heavy hair. that
glistens with beauty and 3 radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair. besides ii imme
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair If you have dand-
ruff. This destructive scurf robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength ard its
very life, and If not overcome it pro-
duces a feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish
loosen and die; then the hair falls
out fast.
II your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's S
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter; apply little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
We sincerely believe. regardless OF
everything else advertised, hat if you
/ desire soft. lustrous beautiful hair
and lots OF it-no dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine
If eventually-why not now?
