HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Soda added to the bath makes the water pleasant and leaves the skin soft and clean.
 The eating of sugar is largely a matter of habit and can best be avoided in children by giving them little sugar just enough to satisfy the desire for it. but not enough to form a habit of eating it in large quantities.
 When the hands are badly chapped, with knuckles cracked and bleeding, the best remedy is to wear clean pair of loose white cotton gloves at night, first rubbing your hands with cold cream or lotion. Keep the gloves on all night In the morning wash your hands in tepid water, rinse well. use a quick drying greasy-lo tion, and, most important of all, dry them thoroughly.
 The person who could succeed in taking q .wrinkled skin and making it smooth again would have no need of worrying about financial matters; his OF her fortune would be assured. But, unfortunately wrinkles are acquired with an alarming ease and rapidity. and are removed with an equally alarming reluctance. Wrinkles about the eyes and mouth are not, as a rule caused by any trouble in the skin itself but in the underlying muscles, the tissues of which have become relaxed or weakened. The ulated and so increased nourishment be secured by deep massage of the muscles. At the same time the use of good cold cream will aid in the nour- ishTnent of the skin and facilitate massage movements.

THE CROSSING OF THE R-s4.

In accord with expectations is the 2cccmpIishment of the British dirigi- bIe R-34 in crossing the Atlantic with out stopping from a point in Scotland to Mineola. L. l. The trip required quite a bit longer than had been es- timated, delays having been experi- enced because of strong head winds and a shortage of fuel. the latter threatening to cause the big gas bag to descend earlier than it has plan ned to, but only after reaching this side of the Atlantic
 The crossing is, however, one of no slight significance inasmuch as it is the longest nonstop flight across the ocean that has as yet been made and the first to be accomplished in a west ward flight That it did not break a record or make as good time as ex- pected does not detract from the ac ecmplishment, for it has been shown that . blimr has been developed to the point where it can be relied upon for long flights. and while this coun- ny would have been overjoyed to have had the honor acquired by the C-5 which was blown to sea as it was pre- pared to start, 1t cannot and has no disposition to withhold it from the R-34 which has actually accomplish ed more than the C-5 set out to do, since the latter haQ intentionally aiighted at Newfoundland.
 The accom- plishment of the British dirigibIe indicates the progress that has been made by Great Britain in the development of that type of an airship as well as of the airplane. Like this country the war has caused it to devote far greater attention to zerenautics and thus far they appear to be running a close race, with the British thus far in the lead with their non stop crossings by both kinds of air navigating machines, which ar- tainnaenr promises to be added to by the return flight of the RIA.

STEEL CARS,

Oncs again in a railroad wreck, even SAeUgn CherU was a regrettahIy large death list, there was demonstrated the advantage of steel cars. What might h1Ts occurred kt Dunlxirk, N. r., when the rear-end collision between express trains took place had the cars been of wood it is of course impos- g1als to tell but in view of what has occurred in other similar wrecks be- fore the days of the all steel trains 1t is reasonable to believe that the story thereof would have contained much mere horrible details.
 The steel cars do not mean that it is guaranteed that they will not be badly smashed and twisted under such cir cumstances. They are much heavier than the wooden cars and a train of that character speeding along un- checked is bound to mean a good stiff bump, but there is one thing about it when such cars buckle and bend they do not furnish kindling wood for fires that might be started from one cause or another.
 Too often has it been the case where wooden coaches have been demolished in railroad wrecks that fics has immc- diateiy followed to incine-ise not only the dead but those of the living who lave been injured or held fast in the vrectSage. This is overcome where steal cegs axs -invosvsc and Ii Is often

. DAINTY NECKLACES

The collarless tunic blouse of the moment demands something in the way of a necklace or a string of beads to break a too severe neck line. With simple morning blouses of dimity or hadkerchief linen the lorgnette rib- bon is worn, and if one does not pos sess or need a lorgnette, a locket or charm may be swung from the ribbon. Black moire or gros grain ribbon about half an inch wide is smarter this season than the white edged or black edged ribbon of last year; and your black lorgnette ribbon must be passed around the neck swinging be- tween the blouse fronts, instead of being passed around under the blouse collar. Worn around the neck the black ribbon makes a longer and narrower loop than it did passed be- meath the collar.
 Bead necklaces are rather long also, to give this long, narrow loop on the bodice front. Some women have half a dozen of these necklaces for the color is the important thing in adding a string of beads to a costume. Jet bead necklaces are smart with all- white costumes and there seem to be a special vogue for bright red neck faces.

 The first precaution in home press ing is to see that your ironing board or table is well and smoothly padded preferably with a wool fabric, and that it has an outside covering of fine and even texture that will not leave it's imprint on the garment Wool garments usually require wet pressing on the right side. Wiring out a heavy cloth that you have thor oughly wet in warm water, place it on the garment, and press it with a hot iron very lightly. Do not press the cloth dry, as that may cause the garment to show the mark of the iron or may leave it shiny. The garment itself should be damp after you have finished the pressing, and should be hung carefully where it can dry with out wrinkles. Always use iron light ly. pushing or showing it stretches the material.

UMBRELLA COVERS

A novelty in the world of umbrel- las is the leather cover that is re- placing the old one of silk. There is much to commend the cover of leather, In the first place. it makes the umbrella much smarter, as the covers conform closely to the shape of the umbrella and there is no un- usual bulk.
 Some of the covers are in pigskin in natural color. while others are in leather that has been dyed.

 Organdy makes delish fully cool dainty summer frocks, but it belongs by right to youth and slim figures, for it's crisp rigidity and its extreme thin- ness are against it in the average wonan's eyes. When it is made up in white or delicate colors with fichu and narrow plaited frills with a black dainty coiored ribbon girdle, a cluster of small artificial flowers tuck ed in at the waist line it is an ideal frock for a young girl. Hats are often especially made to accompany these frocks. and in many instances hats of pale blue or white tGfeta are fre- quently combined with organdy.

HORSES AND HOT WEATHER

Though much of the business that was formerly done by horses is now turned oyer to the automobiles and motor trucks, the time has not arrived in large numbers and it is just as i'm portant that they should be shown proper consideration and given care full treatment as it ever was.
 The horse tis just as susceptible to hot weather as human beings and such cannot be too fully recognized by the owners and drivers. IF this con- nection it cannot fail to be understood that 2 horse responds to humane treatment and sthe following rules can be observed with profit during the summer time:
 Load lightly. and drive slowly.
 Stop in the shade whenever it is possible.
 Give the horses esfrequent drinks while working, and atsnight after he has eaten his hay.
 Sponge off thes harness marks and sweat at night but do not wash the horse or his less at night.
 Unless it is a canopy-top hat. a horse hat does more iharm than good.
 If the thermometersis over 75 de- grees it is we'll to wipe a horse all over with damp sponge using vine- gar water if possible.
 Watch your -horses carefully, guard ing against overwoEk and don't try to force him when hesshows signs of a sunstroke. but givei him or gei him proper attention at once.
 4 horse should cool off at night in order to stand the next days haat. If he sweats in the barn tie him outside with bedding under him.
 It doesn't take much to make a poor horse out of a good one. Mistrea tment will quickly lower an animals value but a little care will work wonders and the faithful animals are deserving of all they can get.

COME TO STAY.

For several years. as the result of the casualty lists that always follow ed and the agitation that has been carried on to overcome the same, there has been a general recognition of the importance of adhering to safe and sane celebration of the Fourth of July. AS the result of the direction of atten- tion to the regretable sacrifice of hu- man life and limb in misdirected ef- forts to be patriotic. the wisdom of eliminating the reckless and foolhardy methods of celebrating has taken root. It is realized that it is possible to give due recognition to the great holiday and all that it means without endan- gering ones own life or menacing those of others, and 1t is with a great deal of satisfaction that the safe and sane campaign throughout the coun- try has been given such a general en- dorsement. It was felt on the part of many that it would change the entire character of the day but the fears have by no means been fulfilled.
 Because of the situation this year. with the Fourth having greater signi- fcance than ever, it had been antici- pated that there would be a departure from the milder and more sensible ob- servance of the day in order that there might be due recognition of the great Nlctorys put Good Juogment pre- vailed and instead Of the country be- ing appalled, by needless additions to the dead and injured in the war it was avoided. for which the country has ev- cry reason to give thanks. All things considered there couldn't have been a better demonstration of the wide spread manner in which the safe and sane Fourth has appealed to the so- Ser second thought of the people. It indicates concIusively that the reform has come to stay

CARE OF FACE CLOTH

The wash rag and the sponge, while convenient and regarded by many as indispensable are often sources of in jury to the skin. Children, especial ly, are apt to take a sponge from dirty water and squeeze it dry without Finsing it. The decaying organic matter caught in the pores of the sponge give rise to certain acids and ferments very injurious to the conn pIexion.
 Both the sponge and the wash rag should be thoroughly cleansed and rinsed after use. To clean a sour sponge put one tespoonfu1 each of ammonia and borax into a basin of warm water, wash the sponge. rinse in clean water and hang in the air, ex- posed to tho sun if possible, until dry.

THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Tn addition to the treaty with its league of nations provision there is an additional matter to which this country will be asked to give consid- eration by the president. This is the endorsement of the triple alliance that has. been approved by President sWil- son between this country, France and Great Britain by which the United States would bind itself to go to the aid of France in case of a renewal of trou- bIe on the part of Germany to the ex- tent of threatening France with a repetition of the experiences it has already been through.
 Under what is claimed for the league of nations it might be SUD- posed that that would take care of such a situation, but it does not seem to be relied upon <by France That country does not feel that 1t is prop erly safeguarded by that instrument and wants the assurance that it will get the aid of its strongest allies in repelling any possible future attacks.
 This is different of course than de- claring that this country must dip into every war that develops in Europe. It means that there is a de- termination on the part of France to forestall any move on the part of Germany to reclaim territory that has been awarded to France. and to give Germany notice to that effect at this time. Such would of necessity serve as warning against secret or open preparations by Germany to movo against the French frontier which that country deems insuff1- ciently protected, but it appears to be an alliance that admits the impo- tency of the league of nations and a nf fa a h21 Y1r of power cannot be done away with at this time. Consideration will have to be given this plan by congress in ad- dition to its consideration of the trea- ty provisions and it will be necessary to determine whether it doesn't give this country as we'll as France protec- tion against a future German menace that would not otherwise be provided as we'll as one of those entangling Flu ropean alliances from which we have been advised to refrain.

OLD CARPET

Every housekeeper is likely to have pieces of tapestry carpeting with the figures worn off, when the back, per haps. will be smooth and strong. Rip the breadths apart, beat all the dust out, then resew to have the seam come on the figured side. Tack the carpet down to the floor you wish to cover, very firm and smooth with the wrong side up; give it several coats of paint, any color you desire. The first coat should be thin with plenty of drying in it. When finished the surface will be hard, and you will find it less work to care for than any oilcioth It will wear better, for it doesn't peel or crack.
