WHEN YOU CATCH CoKD.

If one catches cold by getting the feet wet, it is not the cold but the long chilling that does the harm. The best way to prevent this is to take a. very hot foot bath as soon as possi- ble. If one catches cold by exposing the neck to a draft, resulting Tn a lame or stiff neck, hot applications should be made at the base of the neck.
 If the cold is the result cf general exposure and a lowering of the bodily temperature, then a general hot bath is good. Take the bath if possibly at night and stay in 1t at least half an hour. Drink three or four glasses of not water or hot lemonade and go at once to bed.
 Have the bath hot enough to start 9 precipitation and when the perspir- alton begins, lower the temperature to about a hundred degrees and keep it there for 5 minutes. Then lower it to about 95 degrees and stay in the bath half an hour longer. One may stay in a hot bath of this kind for two hours when they are suffering from a cold and it will most often break it up. Drink all of the water that you can as it will add much in ri6ding the systeP of the cold. Plenty of water is good aat any time.

white sports hat; these took care of the mornings. For afternoons, she chose three white dresses, with which her velvet and maline hat could be worn. She also bought two or three light-eolored sweaters, to vary the monotony of the pure white, these being of thin texture, and a heavy sweater for times when warmth was welcome. Two evening gowns were made in such a way that they were equally appropriate for a formal re- ception or for a dinner; these com. pleted her wardrobe. By adhering to her favorite color scheme, these hats, coats and gowns were interchange able.
 Thus the woman referred to did away with the time and expense of the regular spring and fall purchas- ing, also; for, when something was worn out, it was simply replaced with another garment of similar style. No longer did she need to consider that tiresome question of what to wear" for there was always one thing, and that well made and suitable. Not to be overlooked was the point that this wardrobe, as here described, fitted easily into a moderate sized wardrobe trunk.

TODAY'S ANNTvERsAlRY..

That part of the states of New Mexico and Arizona which was the scene of operation to protect the border became United States territory 65 years ago today, Dec. 30, 1853. The Mexican war and the subsequent acquisition of territory by the Unita9 States left the boundary question still unsettled, and it was not until the so-called "Gadsen Purchase that the cor troversy was ended. This pur- chase consisted of 45, 353 square miles of territory, comprising that portion of Arizona and New Mexico lying south of the Gila. The United States paid $10,0OO,000 for this vast stretch of country, which was then consider ed practically worthless. The deal negotiated by Gen. James Gadsden, then United States Minister to Mex ico, was widely criticised. Americans accused the government of paying too much, and the Mexicans were averse to selling at all. The popular 6isapproval of the settlement of the boundary" dispute led in 1855 to the hanishment of Santa Ana as a traitor to Mexico.

 Wonen carry more fat than men. Nature demands 1t. Even the athletlc woman must carry some fat to roun0 out her form. When 8 man or coFIe- spondine muscular development Will De considered handsome, the woman wltn muscular tissues only will appear act ualIy thin. The healthy woman must carry fatty tissues that will round out her figure and make her sufficiently soft and graceful to the eye to mark her as 6 woman and not merely give her the form of an under-developed man.
 Solving Your Problem.
 The nicely balanced mixture of mus cular and fatty tissue gives to wom- an that perfection of form which artists of all ages have considered ideal, and which is never spoken of as fat. The ideal figure can be achieved only by the development of muscular tissue from proper exercise combined with the con trol of body weight through correct diet.
 Some, women attain this balance with out effort. This is true especially in youth. But many of us must attain 1t by conscious and intelligent regard for exercise and diet.
 If you are under-developed you will need both muscular and fatty tissue. Muscular tissue can only be grown from exercise combined with sufficient nour- ishnent. Fatty tissue can be grown from food alone.

FNGLESHNFEN HAVE
 HAD LITTLE USE FOR PRETENDERS

Just 15S years ago today, on Dec. 30. 1765, there died in Rome James Francis Edward Stuart, called by his 2dherents James III. of England, but better known as the Pretender. While there have been many pretenders to the British throne since James and his son, Charles Edward, they were the last to enjoy any considerable following. Having filled the teeth Of the serpent of monarchy" the English people have no enthusiasm for dynastic controversies, and be- sides, the day has passed when a pretender could plunge a nation into war.
 Although the pretending business has never amounted to anything in Great Britain since James sought to overthrow the first of the Hanovar- tans, a few idle folk with nothing else to do, before the war, formed societies and "conspirac1es' to over throw the present reigning house. Up to the beginning of the conflict which has just some to a close the few members of the Legitimate Jacobite League amused themselves by conspiring for the restoration to the throne of royal line more di- rect in it's descent from the Stuarts than that represented by the present monarch This league came into prominence during the reign of King Edward, and that genial monarch l found it quite a diversion. Members l of the League conferred the title of i GENToT.1- OF lrc ola T7dt' 1 Marie Theresa, spouse of Louis of Bavaria, and mother of Crown. Prince | Ruprecht, who commanded a German army on the west front and whom these Jacobites dubbed Prince of Wales" The Queen" was an Arch duchess of Austria a-Este-Modena prior to her marriage, and claimed descent in a direct line from Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, through James I. and Charles l. When the war broke out the '1egitimates" ceased their activities, perhaps be- cause of the suspicion that it would portation of a German ruler for the country, but more likely because they came to their senses.
 It Is also interesting to note that the former Kaiser, when he was do- ing business, also numbered himself among the pretenders to the British throne. He held that, in accordance with the law of succession which
 save the crown to Victoria instead o1 to her uncle, ths Duke of Cumber-
 land, the right of succession was vested in Queen Victoria's oldest
 child, Princess Victoria. The latter
 renounced her right to the throne
 when she became the bride of Fred erick of Prussia, afterward Emperor
 of Germany. It was the contention
 of the Kaiser that this renunci2tior
 did not affect his right of succession
 as her oldest child, but left him stil
 trl predecence of his uncle, King Ed
 ward VII.
 And now the Kaiser is just plair

MRS. BIOONiER.

The first woman to bring the sub 1ect of dress reform prominently be- fore her sex was Amelia Jenks Boomer, who died 24 years ago. to- day, at the age of 76. Amelia Jenks was born at Homer, N. Y, in 1918, and was a school teacher before her marriage to Dexter C.. Bloomer, a newspaperman and postmaster. She became the editorial assistant of her husband and devoted much time to temperance and other reforms. She founded The Lily, a pioneer suffragist publication, and in it's columns launched a crusade for more ra- tional form of dress for the fair sex. The result was the costume since known as "bloomers," including loose trousers gathered at the ankles and a short skirt, The costume was adopted by a few women in America and Europe but it never attained

Womans work will be distincti7ely meetings to be held in Hartford, Jann- ary 20 to A, 1919. Two morning seS- sions have been set aside for a wO- mans program. Mrs. Henrietta Calvin from the Department of Educaticn in Washington, Mrs J. W. Alsop of Avon, Mrs. G. H. Benton of Andover, and Miss M. Estella Sprague,' Home Eco pomics Director for the Connecticut Food Administration, are some of the speakers already engaged to partici- pate in the woTen's program. Ar engagements have been made with the Y. w. c. A. to serve luncheon, and a hostess will welcome the women.
 A section of the State Armory has been set aside for a woman's exhibit, which will include a model kitchen showing the arrangement of apparatus and equipment that saves time and en- ergy in the home. Women are also planning a milk show, not in cOmpeti- ton with the dairymen, but designed to bring home to every visitor the i'm portance of milk as food for children. Methods of conserving food by drying, smoking, salting and canning will be demonstrated not as war necessities but as household economies. Many of the measures and demonstrations will, it Is said, be equally as interesting and important to women from city homes as to farmers wives.
 Under the direction of c. B. Hough, President of the Connecticut Fair As sociation, the latter will have an ex- hibit. This organization is made up of the presidents and secretaries of all t the agricultural fairs in the State. It <, >wns much fair property and annually -sxpends a large amount in premiums. These figures will be given to the pub lie in an exhibit that will also show what financial assistance Is received from the State each year and the total attendance at Connecticut fairs. Ac cording to L. H. Healey, Secretary o1 the State Board Of Agriculture, the principal object of this Fairs Associa ton is to avoid conflict in dates, to SC cure uniformity of exhibits and to con stantly improve fairs by mutual inter change of ideas Thus this association Is said to affect more people than any other in the State.
 For the combined program for farm ers' week some twenty-five speaker1 from eight States and the Province O. Ontario have been engaged.

A Valuable Table.

If your weight is under or over your case is quite obvious. You are either too thin or too fat. But If your weight Is between these two figures more care full examination of yourself is needed to determine how far from perfection your form Is and how you may further inn prove it.
 The woman who is too fat will fre- quently, though not always, have loose busts. She is also likely to have very large hips. Her knees and ankles in- stead of heinz trim and shapely ara likely to be soft and puffy. The lower leg for four or five inches above the ankle is good test of bodily condition. The muscles of the calf should be rounded and full, but if this fitness ex- tends down to the ankle bone it's neither normal nor beautiful, but just an excess Of fat.
 For the thin woman or the fat woman exercise is the thing which will bring her figure to 8 normal development.

NEW RAVENS
 REPRESENTATIVES
Hartford PoSt)

(Harttord POSt)
 After all that has been said about the complications caused by the death of Representatives Elect Francis T. Bennett, of New Haven, voters of the Elm City will be astonished to learn hat neither will they be deprived of representation in the House, nor will they have to hold 8 special election, nor will they be compelled to accept the representation offered them by the State Committee of any party. It develops that the constitution takes care of such a situation and that one of the old representatives holds over under the provision that a represen- tative shall hold office until his-suc- cessor is elected and qualities. MT. Bennett had becn elected, but he had not qualified by taking the oath Of office. Is is passingly strange that in a city where politics is played as wig orously and as adroitly as it is in New Haven the political leaders should have been obliged to come to Aart- ford to discover a way out of their predicament when it is. one of the matters provided for in the funda- mental law of the state.

If they are rather tight at the ankles they will be all the more comfortable.
 They are made without soles and are, consequently, not for use when walking about the floor, as are the usual soled knitted slippers.
