Now THAT THE SEASON for indoor

able material, the question Of dainti.
ness becomes all the more important.
Outdoors, running about In sport
clothes or the waist and skirt that
Is most comfortable for summer
wear, the healthy action Of the skin
does not matter 80 much. But In the
winter, the girl who perspires the
least BIT 10 apt to suffer agonies Of
embarrassment lest she stain her
dress about the arms, or carry about
the unpleasant odor Of Precipitation.
Dozens Of inquiries reach me at
this season, asking advice about re.
moving the hair under the arms,
stopping the perspiration artificial
~, and keeping the feet from sweat
ing. IL there 10 no hair beneath the
arm, there win be less perspiration
at this part, for the hair naturally
increases the heat there. A few de-
pilatories are all right to use, but
the best way by far Is to learn to
shave yourself with q safety razor,
keeping the under arm clean Of these
unsightly hairs.
Then, before you go to q dance, or
any place where you will be indoors
and exercising more than usual,
after your bath and Just before you
dress, battle the arms and the feet
with q solution Of water and boric
acid. This Is simply o mild anti
septic that comes in powder form,
that Is much used for bathing
babies. This win keep the skin
sweet for hours, and II the arms and
feet too, are powdered heavily with
falcum, the effect will last even
longer.
Profuse sweating Is usually the re-
suit Of eating too much meat. It is
healthy enough, and should not be
stopped artificially, except in rare
cases, and then only for small parts
OF the body.

Many Of your readers have read or
heard Of the mice plague. Not many,
perhaps, have the faintest idea what
it means. One must see the depreda-
ton caused by the mice to really un-
derstand the true state OF things.
Carefully built stacks OF wheat,
plumb and neat a few months ago, are
now heaps of ruins. The tangled mass
of destruction is deplorable. II the
rag-gatherer had spread his wares
on the heaps it would be a. drapers
display in comparison. Practically
every bag has been destroyed, and
the scene is awful. Bags refilled SIX
weeks ago waiting for trucks have
suffered in the same way. Millions
of mice have been killed, and there
are millions still at large. For every
bag OF wheat stacked there is easily
one hundred mice to devour 1t.
In the early stage Of the plague gal.
vanized iron on edge was placed
round the stacks, and at Intervals,
kerosene tins, half filled with water,
were sunk into the ground. The mice,
endeaVoring to pass to and fro be-
tween the openings, fell into the tins
and were drowned. The method at
present is the Invention Of Mr.. Eng
land, and consists of two rows Of gal
vanized iron, about three feet apart
and two inches In the ground. At
about every 80 yards (more or less)
the iron walls close to about SIX
inches over a large iron pit. On the
outside of each fence stakes are
driven on which bags are placed for
the mice to run up and jump or fall
into the enclosure: In the drive, de-
coys, consisting of molasses and ami
seed, are placed in tins to entice the
mice to enter. In a short time sew
eral thousand will have entered the
enticing ground. These are driven
like a flock of sheep along the drive
and either fall or are forced by
broom into the pit. When the pit is
about half full a cup Of bi-sulph1de OF
carbon is sprinkled over the mice
and a match ignites the liberated gas
and in a few seconds all are suffo-
Gated. The dead mice are then SHOW
elled out into boxes for carting away
and the operation repeated.
The published statements of tons
and millions of mice destroyed are
not exaggerated. 1t is easy to COM
pute, and the figures, though as
founding, are reliable. A kerosene
tin on a low average will hold $50
mice, and weighs "a pounds. A
nights catch of 100 tins represents
$4,000 and weighs one ton. During
the last week at Ultima, nine tons OF
mice have been destroyed.
Haystacks in the district have been

PINEAPPLE DAY
1OBEfEATURED,
LETTERS sent OUT

Hawaii has been given much pub
licity throughout the mainland on
Pineapple day of each year, and the
Hawaii Promotion committee Will
once more hammer on the subject in
song and story. In the past COVER
nors, senators and representatives
have featured the day. and the fol-
lowing letter to the mainland public
outlines the situation IN 1917:
ITO Hawaii's Mainland Friends:
For three years you have cele'
brated with US the now famed 'Ha'
waiian Pineapple day. which you have
largely observed merely by eating the
delicious product raised in Hawaii
under sunny skies and in having
others participate in the same pleas
ure, and
"Well, we are going to ask you to
do the same thing again this fall ON
Wednesday, November IA, which viz
be the fourth annual Hawaiian Pine
apple day There will be a tormid
able supply of pineapples, for this
years output of Hawaii, Uncle Sans
youngest territory, will be about g.
500, 900 cases-canned. We would like
to have you eat the fresh pineapple
as it is picked in the field, but, OF
course, this is impracticable, but the
fruit in cans is just as sweet and de-
licious as the fresh pine.
We are again asking the railroad
and steamship companies, the hotels
and cafes, and the guardian OF the
household to jot down the date now
Wednesday, November IA, 1917-as
Hawaiian Pineapple Day. and cele-
brate with US. The menu cards of
dining cars, steamship saloons, hotels
and cafes, always bear the slogan,
Hawaiian Pineapple Day. and it is
surprising what large number Of
dishes in the array of edibles to be
set before the guests can be cap
toned Hawaiian pineapple pie 'Ha'
waiian pineapple ice cream, 'Ha'
waiian pineapple Slices Hawaiian
pineapple jelly and Hawaiian pine
apple this and Hawaiian pineapple
that.
This is the year Of conservation
and helping the grand army of field
workers across the broad stretches
of the country, even to beautiful Ha.
waii away off in the Pacific.
With Aloha and hoping you will
let us know by letter that you will
participate in the celebration with US.

Icge to minister to him.
Finally, We get out OF our work just
what we put into it. | asked most
successful man once what occupation
he would advise a young man to go
into. The great man replied, 1T does
not matter what he does. The only
thing that counts is how he does 1t.
A man can make a fortune in anything
If he does it we'll enough.
Herein lies the secret Of all sue
cess. No man or woman ever achieved
fame or fortune in any line who did
not put his or her whole soul and
mind and body into the thing that he
or she undertook to do. 1t IS the en-
thusiasts who do things and who have
such JOY and interest in the thing
they are doing that get doubly
paid for every effort 1t is our owT
pleasure in doing the thing We like
to do that turns the work into play
and makes play prOfita BILE
This is a truth that we cannot take
too much at heart-that all enjoyment
comes from within. It is our own atti.
tude towards the thing we are doing
that makes it pleasure or pain, and
brings happiness or misery, success
or failure. There are no favorite sons,
really in life. and what We get out
of the game is just what We put into
It, In the last analysis 1t is all up
to US.

the one-hundred-calory system. The
soldier in camp is fed a scientifically
balanced ration. generous enough in
caloric value for the specialized work
he must do. The man in the industrial
world, the woman and children in the
home, if as scientifically fed, on ra-
tions similarly adapted to their needs,
will unquestionably respond with in
creased efficiency in work and in the
case Of the children with consistent
and sustained growth. We strongly
urge that this system be adopted in
every home.
With the country in a state Of war,
we must learn to think differently in
many respects, we must learn that
many Of the little carelessnesses Of
which we were guilty in time of peace
now assume grave proportions. Our
waste was bad enough then. now even
the slightest waste is an economic
crime, an infinitesimal part, it is
true, but still contributing factor to
a great national menace. It is an
economic crime to eat more food than
we need to keep the body in trim and
furnish the energy for work. Let the
first economic commandment be, Eat
enough, but no more" This, however,
should in no way be interpreted as
meaning that the children shouf1 be
stinted. But overeating by adults is
not only economic crime that may be
carelessly committed. 1t lis little

other respect so that they become un-
