HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Every child should have one quart of milk a day until it is years old.
 Grape juice, orange juice and lemon ade can usually be given as beverages to any one i'll. But the doctors pre- mission should be course be obtained.
 Toast tea is thirst quenching to any one who has fever, and it is harm less. To make it soak well made brown but not charred-toast in water for thirty minutes, and then drain off the liquid. Serve it slightly chilled.
 The face cleansed with soap and water every time it shows soil during the day becomes skin depleted of it's natural oils and will eventually be- come lined and shrivelled At night, before going to bed, is the correct time for a thorough soap and water face bath. It should never be washed before going into the air. as this chaps, roughens and coarsens the skin.
 Face Cleansing with Cream - Wipe the face gently with a dry. clean cloth Then with the fingers, apply lightly to the skin thorough coating of good cold cream, or, if preferred, sweet almond or olive oil. Rub it gently over all of the face, then wipe it all of with pieces of old, soft, clean linen or l muslin, which may be thrown away If the face is very soiled, repeat the application twice, drying thoroughly and it will be perfectly clean, leaving no trace of the emolient.

THE FIFTH LOAN.

It will be some days yet before it will be known just what the total of the subscriptions to the Victory loan is, but it is only what was expected when the announcement is already made to the effect that there Is a heavy oversubscription.
 The situation is much the same in this last issue as it has been in pre- vious ones. The work of tabulating the results is so far behind the actual subscriptions that it is difficult to tell just where the loan really stands from day to day, while, there are always a great number of last minute purchases of varying sizes which play most important part in reaching and pass ing the goal. Thus though it looked for time as if the desired amount was not going to be secured or as if it would only be raised by alloting it to the banks. it is happily dissipated.
 It is most creditable showing on the part of the people of this country. Ten million or more according to the .stimate have come forward with their dollars for the purpose of letting the government use them to meet the ex- penses that have piled up in obtaining the victory that was sought. The ap- peals to patriotism have not fallen upon barren ground. while the advan- tages which are to be gained through such investments have not been over- looked, even though conditions are somewhat different than they were while the fighting was in progress There have Of course been many large subscriptions but according to the terms of the issue the small investors will not he crowded out by the large ones, and whether or not the final fig ures show an oversubscription of 2 billion and 8 half as is indicated il shows a duty well done. The coun- try can well be proud of the way il which the people have come forward in all five loans.

THE. GARDEN BONNET.

A combination of dustcap and straw hat, that forms a convenient covering for the head during cool spring wealth
 CT when it is still too chilly to sweep the porch or hang up the clothes with
 out taking some precautions against the weather, is made in the following manner: Take an old straw hat pre- ferably small, with brim not too
 broad but sufficient to protect the
 eyes from the sun; cut out the crown and sew in your dustcap, fastening the ruffle on the underside Of the brim
 and allowing the fullness of the cap
 to take the place of the straw crown.
 Or the bonnet may be worked up by
 using 3. new piece of goods. Black
 straw and checked ginghams make a thrifty appearance for laundry day The boudoir cap is, of course, much daintier with light straw where beauty rather than utility are to be considered This bonnet is light and airy and just the thing for the morning work when the season carries some of us out | of doors. If you are planning a garden ] this combination will be better than either the old fashioned sunbonnet CT heavy broad brimmed straw hat.

THE scHLEsWIG pLEBlsciTE.

Regardless of the part which others are taking relative to the provisions of the peace treaty that has been submitted to Germany. there is heard
 no opposition from Denmark. That
 country was neutral and therefore
 it was to be expected that it would
 have to be satisfied with the outcome,
 although in view of the situation there.
 concerning the territory which had
 been taken years ago by Germany un-
 der promise that a plebiscite would be held to determine under which government the land should remain but never carried out, Denmark looked to the peace conference to right the wrong.
 The Danes sought the return of the northern part of Schleswig, which is inhabited almost entirely by Danes, by permitting the people to decide their future nationality. but the conference has apparently considered that they are entitled to even more than they have asked for it has divided Schles wig into three parts for the purpose of plebiscite, the residents thereof to determine on successive periods their future government. Of the northern part there can be no question as tc what the vote will be- That the mid I dle zone will show considerable ma 1 jority in favor of Danish rule is to be

BROCK OF COTTON.

Silks and woolen goods may be the best choice of the business woman frocks, but for the housewife the wisest choice whenever possible is in the realm of cotton. And the reason is not far to seek. The girl who works away from home usually does not have op-
 portunity tither in time or equipment,
 to launder her own cotton frocks. II
 she sends them to the laundry the ex-
 pense is great and sometimes tEe
 frocks are ruined. But the housewife
 her own wash frocks in fresh condition,
 giving them that individual attention
 that is necessary to keep them from
 shrinking and wearing out the wash.
 Moreover, the cotton frock is the best selection because usually the iiouse- wife wants something that can be washed readily. Even after the hard work of the day is done and she has changed from house dress to a dainty afternoon dress there must be trips to the kitchen. And any one knows who has tried to work in the kitchen in a silk frock that even with the greatest precaution spots do come. With the cotton frock it is not of much mo- ment.
 There have been times when we felt
 that our best dresses really ought te be Of silk. But that was when silk
 was very much cheaper than cotton {! Now the fact that cotton is quite eY- pensive has somehow made IS feel Ntha' cotton is good enough for any occas- 1 ion and surely the present wea"e5 ant designs are quite as good to look a as are the silks. A dark blue and white 1 printed yoile makes every. bit as at l traetiSe a frock for church in the sum mer as does a fulard.
