Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. presi-

When asked what form such a

Sensible heels in place Of French
heels will be demanded by women

While gloomy prospects may be APP

that great things arc in the making
for the United States.
During the transition process from
the old to the new era Of the worlds
development all that is the worst in
humanity Is likely TO be brought to
the surface and this is held to be most
salutary.
Grimes OF every sort which natural

il will not be until toward its end that
conditions will appear TO be more sat

One OF the signs OF the times will
be an access OF selflshness and an APP
parent forgetfulness OF the lessons
taught by The war and for this rea-
son individuals should exercise the
strongest discipline over their wrong
impulses.
All who desire to seek new posi-
tions. promotions or changes for the
new year should defer action. as the
Sun is in a most forbidding aspect.
1t is not a favorable sway for love

Persons whose birthdate IL is should

WHEN TIRED

It's the rare man or woman these
days who does not complain often
that he or she is so tired"
Even the strong and energetic
have occasional tired feelings. and
the less vigorous put up constant
battle against fatigue poisons.
There are several simple anti
dotes for such poisons which should
be applied as soon as the symptoms
are noted-sparing temporary dis
comfort and inefTiciency. and perma-
nent lowering of vitality.
Some physicians go so far as to
warn people severity against heCom-

HOW COTTON IS MERCERIzED

The process 10y which cotton is
"merceriZcd" or given a lustrous fin
ish is somewhat recent, haN ing been
invented in 1874 by John Mercer
BY treating cotton fiber first with
alkali. then submitting it TO tension
or pulling. then rinSInS with water.
the fiber is first sweilcd. Strengthened
out. then gained greatly in both
strength and luster.
The treatment also improved the
textiles ability To take dye.
MerceriZed cotton Is more valuable
than ordinary cotton and will natural
ly command n higher price. It is
possible to achieve an effect some
what like merCerization by heavy cal
endering or starching, but the lustrous
effect is removed by laundering. In
buying merceriZed cotton the pur-
chaser should make sure the mercer
izinS is real-not mere calenderinS.
