When You Go Camping.

they may use in case of illness before

But many of these first-aid kits do not

Among the experts. whose business
in life is to study clothes, one con-
stantly hears the call for simplicity.
If there is to be economy, it must be
in the usage of material but not in
the price paid or the number of
clothes purchased. The claim of Ger
tain manufacturers that there should
be economy in the amount of material
used, because the use of patch pock-
cts, hip drapery and wide collars al
lows good deal of patching and extra
scanning, does not appeal to the pub
lie.
1t has long been an adage of those
who know clothes thoroly that frocks
with frills are usually badly made,
but skilled workmanship is also de-
manded for simple clothes.
The present viewpoint makes one
believe that costly simplicity will win
out. The American woman, in mass,

these, she is already making up her
mind to use voluminous collars and
cuffs.
The neckwear people are delighted
over this attitude. They are stimulat-
ing the desire by introducing a wide

of short capes, and cuffs are taking

gauntlets.

Why A Healthy Dogs Nose Is
ALWAYS Cold.

When your faithful old dog
pokeS his nose into your hand, even
your affection cannot prevent a
little shiver, because the nose is US
ually so cold. Why is it? When the
body of a dog is so warm, why
should this one spot be different
from all the rest of him?
According to the old fable. when
Noah tried TO get all the animals
into the Ark some of them were
troublesome, and he had to get a
dog to help him drive them in. Be-
cause of this. the dog was the last
to enter the Ark. There was no room
left, so he had to stand in the door
way with his nose outside in the
wet and il has never been warm
since.
Science gives quite another eX-
PLANTATION of the matter. The cold
ness of a dogs nose is, it says, due
to the fact that it must be kept
moist all the time in order to sharp
EN- his sense of smell. And of course
as the moisture is evap Grating all
all the time, it keeps his nose cold
A dog depends a great deal on
his power of smelling. especially il
