CULTIVATE POSE

for she showed lack of boise not only by saying things she didn't mean. but by talking too fast and too much, by laughing too loudly, and by moving restlessly about in her chair and playing continually with a chain she wore instead of sitting at ease and letting her hands rest quietly on the broad chair arms as her gracious and well poise l hostess did
 A great many young people-and older people, too-fail to do them selves justice at critical times be- cause of this nervous lack of poise. They say things they don't mean and fail to say the intelligent things they are capable of; they make tactless remarks and commit breach es of etiquette; and all simply be cause they lose hold of themselves and scarcely know what they are doing
 Learn to get hold of yourself. II is a necessary foundation for so- cial success When you see that you are losing yourself, stop, take long breath and force yourself to regain your poise. Pause. if necessary, before speaking till you can collect your thoughts and know just what you want to say. Speak slowly but get the right words Don't fidget, don't laugh or speak loudly and don't be afraid; no- body Is going to eat you. Remember that underneath, these people of whom you are so much afraid arc nothing but just folks.
 If you know the simple rules Of etiquette (and if you don't you should get a book tomorrow and study them) and if you cultiyat" the habit of poise, you will soon cease to do yourself injustice when you most desire 10 appear at your best.

Library Patronage
 On The Increase

That the George c. Thomas Me morial library continues to meet a real need in the community is shown by it's constantly increasing patron age, not only by the townspeople but as well by those who are here temporarily from the creeks. One man recently walked in II miles to exchange his books, and many have spoken of the pleasure they have derived from the reading mat ter made accessible to them through the library. All those living at a distance from town who have asked at the library for papers have been liberally supplied and magazines also have been added whenever dupli- cates have been at hand. These are passed on from one to another and pie.
 A new table has been placed in the library this month, for which thanks are due the ladies of the Northern Light Mission Circle, and this Is we'll filled with literature pertaining to missions and other phases of Christian work, provided by the same friends. A special lit erature table has also been main tained throughout the year by the members of the Christian Science society, who subscribe for the daily, weekly, and monthly periodicals of that organization for the library. Both these tables are in frequent use and are greatly appreciated.
 A typewrittep catalog of the books In the library is being prepared

HOW TO GIVE MEDICINE.

To give medicine, unless the bot tie is marked in the specified doses
 1t should always be measured In
 proper medicine glass. Ordinary spoons vary so considerably in size that the amount given, by using them as measures, is anything but exact This may not be of extreme importance with some medicines but
 on the contrary, with others it is absolutely essential to give just the correct quantity-no more and no less. It is, therefore, well to have one rule and always to follow it. viz, to pour medicine either into graduated medicine glass or into one of the China spoons which stand on little feet sold by all chemists, which are marked inside for table, dessert and teaspoonfuls.

<JAUNDICE IN BABY

any way. In the maternity hospital is has been found that the babies that develop jaundice thrive just as well as do those who are free from disorder However, in poorly nourished babies the discoloration seems to be more intense than in strong. healthy ones.
 The cause of this jaundice Of the newborn has not been doteminoo definitely One theory is that there are several changes that take place in the circulation of the child at birth or soon afterward. A slight delay in these changes allows nor" than the normal amount of bile pigments to enter the blood the first days after birth. This causes the jaundiced appearance of the skin
 Another explanation is that owing to the change in the circulation in the liver at birth there is an ac- tive destruction of the red blood cells. In consequence or thlS de struction of red blood cells abur dant material for the formation of bile pigment is formed. The more feeble the child the greater de struction of red blood cells, and con. sequently the greater degree of jaun- dice
 Physiologic jaundice of the new born is not a serious condition never proves fatal, and usually will clear up without any treatment It should not however, be confused with other forms of icterus, which may be the most noticeable symr- tom of some serious disease.-Ev- change.

 Nothing is so good for the hair as scalp massage, and nothing more easily learned. If one cannot at ford to have scalp treatment all the time, the best thing to do is to go to a specialist and take two or three treatments. observe carefully what they do. and then try to fol low their methods and obtain the same results.
 The scalp should be kept loose to have the circulation good. If the hair is dry, it should not be washed too often. Pure olive oil rubbed in occasionally is good. Pour little into a saucer and use the tips of the fingers, only, to rub it in If carefully done, the hair will not look greasy, but soft and glos- sy. Hair should be brushed every night, aired we'll and then plaited | loosely. Leave out all pins and combs.
 If possible give the hair a sun 1 bath once a week. Take it down sit in the sun and turn every part to the air, keeping up a gentle mas 1 sage all the time.

A condition which is of little moment, yet which causes con siderable disturbance of the mental condition of the young and mex perienced mother, is that of jaun, dice of the new born baby.
 Within few days after birth many babies begin to turn ''yellow' in other words, to become jaun diced-and the young mother nat urally is much alarmed If she listens to the old women of the neighborhood she probably will have some saffron tea brewed with which to give the baby generous doses.
 Jaundice occurs in from 40 to 80 per cent of the new born babies From the second to the fifth day is the usual time for the appear ance of this condition. It gradual ly increases in severity and then slowly disappears. The average uuTdllOu III Illiltl Nd0F io liil lNN '' four days, but it may persist much longer. In severe cases it has been known to continue for two weeks.
 The jaundice is noticed first in the skin of the chest and face, then in the conjunctiva, finally spreading to other portions of the body. The skin varies in color from a pale yellow to an intense yello"lsh brown. The urine usually is nor nal, as also are the bowel move ments. In other forms of jaundice the urine usually is highly colore1 and the stools are clay colored

Poise is one of those words which sounds like the quality they ex. press-like peace" for instance :; or serenity" or "graciousness." It is a quality which the young peo- pie of this country need to cultivate more than almost any
 The other day, at the request of little friend, young matron went with hcr to call on some peo- pie whom she admires but stands in awe of. She is a very bright little girl. but nervous and self conscious Before they made the call they had been discussing a new book and she had given a most intelligent appreciation of it.
 The same book came up for dis cussion at her friends home and 1t was a surprise to the young woman acting as Chaperon to hear the girl say that she did not like IL anu uldht tIlllulSIl COllllutlll upon it which was exactly opposite t0 what she had previously said.
 Afterwards when asked why she changed her mind so suddenly, she replied: 'I didn't change my mind at all that was just because I was nervous. She asked me about it unexpectedly and I said the first thing that came into my head. l didn't mean to say that and l was ashamed afterwards. But that's the way I do when I'm nervous. I say the first thing that comes into my head and I'm often surprised at the things I hear myself saying"
 Now poise was what that girl needed With a little better bal ance, a proper hold on herself, and a more thorough control of her faculties she could have made a good impression.
 As it was, she made a poor one,

SUCH IGNORANCE.

Charlie Chaplin is exceedingly funny, and there are several people who think that they can be as funny as he is, by initiating his walk, his jump and his one-legged slide. A bright young youth in the public scool In Pluckamin, N. J. insisted on initiating Charlie in ev, erythine he did, and, as it did not meet with the teachers approval she told the principal of her trou bles.
 q cant do a thing with that Willie Smith" was her complaint to the prinoipal; The is always walking, jumping and hopping like Charlie Chaplin"
 The principal looked up rather angry and chortled "He is, is he: Well, you send them both right down to me, and I will teach them not to be so energetic in our school rooms"
 That was not all. Later one o1 the teachers told a former princi pal of the occurrence, and the for mer principal asked, Who is Char lie Chaplin, anyhow? He must bC a new boy, for he wasn't in the school when was principal"
 Which goes to show that, no mat ter how popular you are, there is somebody in a little corner of thf world who does not know you.-Ey

EVEN STAIR CLIMBING
 HAS ITS GOOD POINTS.

Climbing stairs always has been thought to bc very injurious to a woman, yet in many cases if it is rightly done t may be of real benn- fit and gradually strengthen the heart and shoulders instead of do ing actually the reverse Mount the stairs slowly with the body erect, the head and chest high, and allow the leg muscles to do the work. Try this for a week instead of the old way of bending the back and depressing tn" chest, and soc how it improves the general carriage
 A physical culture exercise that is unrivaled for giving one erect and graceful carriage, stra1ghten- ing the shoulders and making them as level as those of a West Point cadet is done by this same stair climbing, only in this case with the arms hanging at full length, the hands should be clasped behind the back with the fingers inter laced and the hands turned as near ly back to back as possible
 Then, standing very erect, mount the stairs slowly, and before half the ascent is made every cell in the lungs will have expanded many times. These exercises are excel lent for anyone whose heart is in good condition, but when this organ is in a diseased state it is well to avoid stair climbing whenever pos Sible
