The tuberculosis Patient
WHEN SHALL HE RESUME WORK?

In order to maintain an arrested
or healed condition after the cessa-
tion OF active tuberculosis one must
secure a sufficiency OF rest, and of
air. get plenty of good food, smoke
little-or, better still, not at all
take regular vacations, avoid alco-
hol, stay in bed when he has a cold
or does not feel really well, and
avoid haste and overwork.
Whether one reaches the point
where he can begin to consider the
resumption of work-and there is
no reason why most cases cannot
reach this point-depends upon the
early management Active cases
are at first kept in bed. in the open
air, until active signs have gone.
The first two or three weeks of this
rest must be absolute, followed by
gradual lessening OF the degree OF
rest in accordance with the cessa-
ton OF active signs.
The first exercise in walking, the
amount of which is governed by its
effect upon the pulse, temperature
and physical signs.
In many cases work can be prof.
itably resumed when the symptoms
show a decided trend toward arrest.
In other words, one does not have
always to wait until the disease Is
definitely arrested or actually
healed But this Is a matter of nice
judgment for the physician.

BdOuses For
TheHOlidays

IlTi 30 many of our boys
NM home ION leave" the holt
days promise to be very
happy times this year. And
mothers and big sisters are fixing
up the home for the coming OF the
boys, 50 that everything will be as
they dreamed it at camp.
Sisters and sweetbcarts want to
look their best, too, and there are
some delightful bIouses especially
designed to wear for informal din
ners, etc, that the American girl
will appreciate. Nearly every girl
has a tailored suit, and with the
addition of a smart blouse she will
have a good looking costume both
for indoors or street wear.
Among the lOvcliest blouses 1
have seen this year was one of deep
navy georGette crepe embroidered in
cinnamon colored silk. For no
blouse is finished this year without
its touch of handwork. Pretty
sprays OF tiny flowers were inter
mingled with conventional motifs
and dotted with blue beads.
\ clever girl who saw this smart
blouse decided TO have one like ii,
although the price was n bit too
For 1915 she purchased 4 coIlarIess
blouse OF white Georgctte and dip
ped II several times in navy blue
dye. When almost dry she pressed
1t with a hot iron. From the "em-
broidery" book she selected a suit
able design and stamped il on the
blouse. Only a few hours time was
needed 10 do the embroidery. Her
stunning blouse cost but IS when
finished. This is an excellent sug-
Gestion for faded blouses of delicate
tone.
A dainty slip-on blouse may pos
sibly be made from a long chiffon
motor veil. Fold the veil well in
half, the short ends coming to-
Eether. and cut out a circle, square
or oval, for the neck The hem
stitched border on the veil will
make a nice finish for the edge.
The rest of the trimming will de-
pend on the color OF the veil. Ar
tillery red ribbon in a flaming scar
let tone will brighten 4 dull blue
blouse. Bind the neck with the
narrow ribbon and draw length
OF it through long slit eyelets cut
at the waist line.
To make these eyelcts, mark out
tho length (about an inch) with 4
white basting cotton. You can have
this hemstitchcd for a few cents.
Carefully cut through the center OF
the stitching, thus making an eye
let. A bit Of bead embroidery is
desirable on the front of the blouse
but not necessary.
Blouses that have become yellow
with too frequent laundering may
be dipped a delicate pink tone and
embroidered with pale blue forget
OF silk floss. Salmon IL
lovely when combined
with overseas blue beads.
Most girls have found Il a real
economy to buy a white blouse
ready to wear, and then give IL n
touch OF individuality.

Home Canned
Goods
By LoRETTo G. LYNCH.

A we get on into the colder
N lays, the thrifty housewife
Begins to open up the cans OF
:ood that have been on the
pantry shelf since last summer
Have you noticed the folks at table
sigh a bit and say: Funny. isn't
it. no matter how carefully food is
canned. it always has a fiat, canned
tastc?"
The nat taste OF canned goods is
due to the absence OF oxygen. The
oxygen that helps give fresh fruits
and vegetables their characteristic
flavor is lost in canning. II prac-
teal, turn the canned vegetables
into A colander. Wash IL of with
cold, running water. Then spread
the contents OF the can on a china
platter and expose to the air for a
couple of hours. In this way. the
oxygen lost in canning is reab-
sorbed. Tho food then regains its
characteristic flavor.
1t is safer to boil the contents OF
cans. especially OF those canned at
home, for at least five or ten min
utes before serving. Many house
wives fall into the habit of serv-
from the can. 1t takes very little
extra effort to serve it more nearly
as we do when fresh. For instance,
canned string beans are ever so
much better for having a simple
white sauce or a little melted butt
terine poured over them.
One tires of plain canned fruit
and often ones canned peaches are
not appreciated as thoroughly as
should be, effort considered, IL they
are always served as plain canned
peaches. One clever woman / know,
varied her canned peaches by serv-
ing them in most attractive little
sundaes. 4 circle was cut from
leftover stale sponge cake. Each
circle was dipped into the syrup Of
a can OF peaches.
The cake was arranged on a des-
sert saucer and on top OF 1t was
placed half a peach MarshmaIlow
whip. purchased. either prepared at
the grocer'S or sweet shop, or made
by melting marshmaIlow in the top
OF a double boiler, was poured
around the base. The whole effect
was that OF a fried egg sunny
side up" Whipped cream might DO
substituted for the marshmaIIow
and a few chopped nuts or a little
shredded cocoanut sprinkled over
the top.
Your canned fruits will be much
more appreciated II you serve them
varied. Canned apples make good
and fritters and cakes /
as well as sauce. But IL one gives
a canned apple "as is" IL begins to
fall as a dessert quite soon.
One housewife know has canned
some meat stews to use on busy
days. Occasionally she covers the
stew with a nice conservation pie
crust, and no one dreams that the
beef pie of some winter
evening is In reality a leftover
stew canned last August.

Is Timid With Girls.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRfAA:
I am an inventor OF twenty-one
bashful and timid with women. From
my childhood / have cared little for
them, and for this reason ] have not
been able to attract the attention Of
some honest girl. who would love me.
j take more interest in thinking and
developing new ideas than in going
with girls to dances and having a good
time. Then j am very fond Of u
cousin Of mine, who is seventeen, an
attractive girl, and I believe she Is
just the kind of young lady who could
be my wife. But the majority OF peo-
pie say that marrying a cousin is a
great mistake. I have not asked or
promised this girl anything. but the
way she acts makes me think that she
cares 4 great deal for ne. Now, dear
Miss Fairfax. do you think It Is proper
10 marry cousin?
If you and this young girl were
deeply in love with each other the
fact of your being cousins might
constitute a real problem. But
since you evidently are not, why
not avoid the problem altogether:
You are still very young. Wait
till you have known moro girls and
really feel the need of love and mar
riage in your life. When you are
in love you will not feel
the uncertainty that you do now.

Her Happiness at Stake.
DEAR MISS FAIRF


I have been happily married for ave
years. Recently I went TO the coun-
try for six weeks and was called back
suddenly by my husbands illness.
nursed him for three weeks. day and
night. Now. while he was sick a
young lady called up several times. buL
never would tell me who she was.
After he was well he told me every
thing. He met the girl at a party. He
went TO her home several times. Her
parents, thinking lie was q single fell
low. treated him splendidly. The girl
Is now franticaliy in love with him.
Ny husband knows he made n mis-
take. and Is sorry. Should I forgive
him? What should I do about the girl?
Should tell the parents, or would II
DO better not to say anything. A. B.
I should say that this unhappy
situation is likely to straighten
itself out IL you can succeed in
keeping your self-control and act
ing as though everything were as
usual Since your husband has told
you the whole story and admitted
that he has done wrong. I do not
see why you cannot forgive him.
But he must prove the sincerity OF
his regret by winding up his tenn
porary affair with the very indis-
Greet young woman who has fallen
in love with him.
