TAKING HOT BATHS.
Why Harm May Come Through Bad
Hyaienie Methods.

Hygienic Methods.
1.-The majority of bathers undoubt-
eddy do themselves more harm than
good" said an English physician re-
Gently. "First let me tell you how
battle myself-the ideal way. have
the bath filed, and when all is pre-
pared l step into it straight from bed.
Doubtless you put on a dressing gown,
perhaps light a cigarette, lounge about
your room, then stroll along a drafty
corridor and get into the bath already
chilled. When there you stay until
your skin vessels are thoroughly re-
Taxed by the heat and unable to react.
Afterward you are surprised to find
yourself chilly and depressed.
"Some men shave first. Let me ad-
wise you to do this after the bath, not
before, and so avoid chilling. Not ev-
cry one has his bathroom opening off
from the bedroom or even next door,
so in many cases it is wiser to take a
sponge bath in your sleeping room and
to get into it while the heat of the bed
is still upon you. This should be the
rule in all but the very hot months Of
the year.
IF you take cold plunge bath stay
in it only for ten seconds; then do not
waste time drying yourself. Get on
some clothes within three seconds
after the bath. The weakest can
take a cold bath with benefit in this
way; the strongest will suffer in the
ordinary way.

7 HAD fed the fire and stirred it till the
splrkles in delight
Snapped their saucy little fingers at
II the chill December night;
And in dressing gown and slippers
had tilted back my throne
The old split bottOmed rOcker-and was
musing all alone
1 could hear the hungry winter prowling
round the outer door,
And the tread of muffled footsteps on the
white piazza floor;
But the sounds came to me only as the
murmur Of a stream
That mingled with the current Of lazy
flowing dream.
Like q fragrant incense rising curled the
smoke Of my cigar,
With the lampight cleaning through it
like a mist EMBODIED star;
And as 1 gazed, the vapor like a curtain
rolled away,
With a sound Of bells that tinkled and
the Clatter Of sleigh.
And in vision, painted like picture in
the air
saw the eIflsh figure Of man with
frosty hair
A quaint old man that chuckled with a
laugh as he appeared,
And with ruddy cheeks like embers in the
ashes of his beard.
aS poised himself grotesquely, in an atti-
tude of mirth,
On damask covered hassock that was
sitting on the hearth,
And at magic signal of his stubby little
thumb
saw the fireplace changing to a bright
proscenium.
And, looking there, marveled as saw
a mimic stage
Alive with little actors of a very tender
age,
And some so very tiny that they tottered
as they walked,
And Iisped and purled and gurgled like
the brooklets when they talked.
And their faces were like lilies and their
eyes like purest dew,
And their tresses like the shadows that
the shine is woven through;
And they each had little burdens and
little tale to tell
OF fairy lore and giants and delights de-
lectable
And they mixed and intermingled. weav-
ing melody with joy,
Till the magic circle clustered round q
blooming baby bOv;
And they threw aside their treasures in
an ecstasy Of glee
And bent with dazZled faces and with
parted lips to sec,

WHY
Bread Is Often Defective and
How to Make 1t
"T% NOW the ingredients of your

"T@ NOW the ingredients of your
TX bread and you will know the
Nv causes Of its defects" So
says Miss Marion z. BrOugh-
ton, specialist in home economics in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
''These defects are mostly physical,
and the most frequent cause is poor
-four. If the -four is poor the gluten
Is poor, and the color of bread de-
ponds upon the gluten. Gluten forms
the framework of the bread, and if it
is poorly developed in the -four it will
make the bread coarse.
"Bread should not be oiled when put
in the pans. Fat when baked brings
out the defects in the bread. A hard
crust is caused by the unequal distri-
button of the fat when oiled.
Securing Of bread is caused by too
much carbon diOXide and too little
oxygen. This can be remedied by
thorough kneading. Large holes that
are often found can be worked out by
kneading. When rolling the bread to
put into the pans be sure to leave no
creases underneath the loaf. for these
will show when baked.
Bread is scored in contests upon
the flavor, color, form and thorough
ness of baking. Flavor of perfect
bread should be good and sweet. If
an acid flavor is noticed, there has
been too long a fermentation.
1.-THE musty flavor often noticed in
bread is caused by old -four, and if
the flavor is the least bit off the lard
is too strong or too much salt has been
used.
"a starter is commonly used among
the farmers wives. The jar in which
it is kept should be washed frequent
Iy, and a cover should be over it all
the time. There is nothing in the su-
perstition that if the jar is washed
the starter will be ruined"

, HOW EMERGENCY ROD /.
, SURGERY MAY

o SURG cry MAY
@ HELP THE ANGLER.-It Is
o well to have all your trout rods
9 duplicates, with Interchangeable
O parts. The tip is the most
@ breakable part of the rod.
p When the tip you are using is
o Of doubtful integrity it is a good
9 plan to carry an extra tip on
. your back, where it will be out
o of your way when you go upon
@ the stream.
@ By tip is here meant the upper
o joint Of the rod. The small metal
@ tip at the end of the rod is an
o other matter. Always carry two
9 or three of these metal tips in
o your pocket so that you can easily
@ replace broken one.
o BY means of rude surgery you
o can generally mend broken rod
9 on the spot. Often the middle
@ joint and not the tip will break.
@ When this happens apply a
o lighted match to the metal tip or
o ferrule that you wish to remove
o and heat it enough so that the
O broken piece will come out.
O With your knife make a new
@ seating on the broken end and
@ crowd the ferrule or tip secure
@ ly On.
@ For the repair you should have
9 with you plenty of matches and
@ small piece of rod cement. Heat
@ this with match until it melts
@ a little and smear it on the seat
o ing before forcing the ferrule or
9 tip back. This will make the
g joint waterproof.
O It is not often that such mend
O ings are Of permanent value, al
9 though they may serve for brief
o period.
9 A rod so mended has q weak

o device for extracting porcupine

MY BANK ACCOUNT.

MY bank account is very slim
NA Sometimes there is no balance there,
But there are shoes on little Jim
And ribbons gay in Sylvia's hair
And there's a smile in mothers face
And happiness around the place.
And if the laughter only stays
The cash can go it's several ways.
T PUT my money into smiles
And cakes and sweets and little
gowns
And dresses in the latest styles
And anything to scatter frOwns.
And though it doesn't show in gold
That can be used when l am old,
It's drawing interest every day
In laughter and in childish play.

How to Curb Your Obesity and Be-
come a SyIph.


We are all asking for diets and sys-
TENS of exercises for reducing the
weight, but it must be borne in mind
that the reduction of weight must in
variably be accompanied by a reduc-
ton in strength. This means that the
woman who Systematically enters upon
a dietary, bathing and exercise system
must give herself over to this entirely,
for it will exhaust her strength if it re-
moves the flesh. The woman who does
her own homework or the woman who
is in business must not undertake bath
ing, violent physical exercise or golf
ing and combine with these her regu-
lation work. Physique and nerves can
not endure the strain. A breakdown is
inevitable.

Twas a wondrous little fellow, with
dainty double chin
And chubby cheeks and dimples for the
smiles to blossom in;
And he looked as ripe and rosy on his
bed of straw and reeds,
AS mellow little pippin that had tum-
bled in the weeds
And I saw the happy mother and a group
surrounding her
That knelt with costly presents of frank
incense and myrrh;
And I thrilled with awe and wonder as a
murmur on the air
Came drifting Ger the hearing in a mel
ody of prayer:
BY the splendor in the heavens and
the hush upon the sea,
And the majesty of silence reignfng
over Galilee,
We feel thy kingly presence, and
we humbly bow the knee
And lift our hearts and voices in
gTatefulness to thee.
Thy messenger has spoken and our
doubts have fed and gone
AS the dark and spectral shadows
Of the night before the dawn;
And in the kindly shelter of the
light around US drawn,
We would nestle down forever in
the breast we lean upon.
You have given us shepherd, you
have given us a guide.
And the light of heaven grew dim
mer when you sent him from
your side,
But he comes TO lead thy children
where the gates will open wide
To welcome his returning when his
works are glorified.
By the splendor of the heavens and
the hush upon the sea
And the majesty of silence reigning
over Galilee,
We feel thy kingly presence, and
we humbly bow the knee
And lift our hearts and voices in
gratefulness to thee
Then the vision, slowly failing, with the
words of the refrain
Fell swooning in the moonlight through
the frosty window pane,
And I heard the clock proclaiming, like
an eager sentinel
Who brings the world good tidings, TT is
Christmas; all is well!'

THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON..
WE'VE given our tip to the post
w man,
The hallboy, the cook and the
maid,
The grOCeryman, iceman and
butcher.
(Of course they all had to be
paid.)
1t seems that we've tipped all
creation,
But just at this time of the year
We're under extreme obligation,
The holiday season is here.

To treat you as one of his
kind,
So meek and obliging and civil,
1t seems he is out of his mind.
The hallboy responds to your greet
ing
With words that are laden with
But beware Of the warmth of the
meeting,
The holiday season is here.
YOU find that your heat is ad-
l. justed,
You find that the water is hot
Your protests are given attention
And tended to right on the spot;
The cook never makes an objection
If you say that the coffee looks
queer,
And the Waterman gives extra pro-
lection
The holiday season is here.
DON'T mind though the family
~ be starving.
Give up though the children are
cold,
The suit that you wore all last
winter
Still is good, though it looks rath-
er old,
Don't begrudge the last cent you
are giving,
Let a smile on your features ap-
pear;
Be content with the fact that you're
living
The holiday season is here.
