the Brownsville end will get - per

THE highway commission is pro

ries will be erected as rapidly as pos

"The school is in a highly prosper

This Is, of course, encouraging. All

Art LEAGUE
PURCHASES 0LD
HOMESTEAD

The old Hotchkiss homestead on
Clinton avenue, well known to resi-
dents of this city is now being con-
verted into a Woman's club house
and will soon be occupied by the
members of the Bridgeport Art
League which has quarters at 1s9
State street. The league in taking
this progressive step feers that it is
providing for a long felt need in
Bridgeport. Here attractive rooms
will be available for club meetings,
conventions, and the many study
courses offered by the league. There
will also be a spacious auditorium
suitable for lectures, musicales and
social functions. The huge dining
room and cuisine will make it pos
sible for the league to- hold large
social events. as has not been possible
hitherfore.
This organization holds rare oppor-
tunities for the women of the city
bringing much needed recreation to
the strenuous home and business
workers and keeping them in touch
with the best thought and work. along
artistic lines.
Besides the free classes of various
kinds offered there is a. lecture course
which brings some of the best known
speakers in the country to this city.
The Art league has not only accom-
plished a remarkable work in de-
veloping artistic talent, but it is one
of the best educational influences in
the community, and appeals to a wide
variety of tastes.

The Whole Family: The Home
Health Club tries to cover every
subject pertaining to health. Many of
the articles that I wrote for you are
in answer to an especial appeal from
some afflicted one, but when I an
alyze the condition of that one person
I find that it is common to many and
that the information for that indi-
vidual would be of great benefit to
many others.
This morning, while I was opening
one of my letters, one of natures
gentlemen called to see me. The man
was born in Sweden many years ago
and had come to America, an orphan,
when just a lad. He has earned his
way through life since he was ten
years old and naturally did not re-
ceive much schooling, but because of
that he did not stop trying. I foune
him very well posted upon many top
les Of the day and especially well
posted in farming. Dietetics, hygiene
and the general welfare of his family
as well as the health of his neighbors
make him an outstanding man in his
community and whenever there is
sickness in any of the homes of his
neighbors they send for him or his
wife first.
They always take along their Home
Health Club books and apply such
home treatment seems to be indi-
Gated. In a recent case a doctor was
called first and he promptly dag
nosed a case of pneumonia, just start
ing, but on account of the condition
of the patient, very dangerous case,
this man and his wife were both sent
for in hurry and they worked half
the night, using the method of treat
ment recomme ended in Volume 2 OF
the Home Health Club books. When
the doctor came the next day he found
the patient sitting up, free from tenn
perature and with no symptoms of
pneumonia. He was about as thor
oughly surprised as a man could be,
but when he was told what had been
done he was big sand broad-minded
| enough to ask for the book so that
he could study all of the details and
apply them to his next case. The pa
| tient was advised to remain indoors a
few days and if necessary repeat the
| treatment. In three days he went
about his usual duties and there were
! no evil after effects.
The man then told me about the
many times that he and his wife had
| followed the directions given in the
| Club Books and in these columns for
| the treatment of all kinds of all
ments and for~various members of
! the family as well as for other neigh.
bors and that they had not yet had
| failure
| The practical methods of self help
which I have been teaching for SO
many years apply not only to your
own individual family. but to the
whole human family for the simple
| reason that the Home Health Club
| stands for prevention rather than
| cure, for removing the cause rather
| than to treating or suppressing the
| symptoms.

PRACTICAL USES
FOR THE LEMON

Plain lemon juice Is an excellent
and economical tooth wash, as it not
only removes the tartar but sweet
ems the breath. Lemon is also a
splendid manicure acid when a tea
spoon of lemon juice is added to a
cup of war water. This loosens stains
from the nails and the cuticle, also
better than instruments.
For scrawney, wrinkled hands try
massaging with olive oil. Warm
half a cup of pure oil in an en-
ameled dish and set it in a larger
dish of hot water. Wash your
hands clean and allow them to soak
in clear warm water for twenty
minutes Pat them nearly dry, drop
a little of the warm oil in one hand
and massage with the other. Alter
nate until the hands refuse to alb
sorb any more oil. Wipe them dry
with a soft cloth but do not wash
them.
The proper amount of sleep is
necessary for beauty. Less than
enough is damaging alike to form
and features. A brisk walk before
retiring and a little gymnastic ex-
exercise will induce Sleep. Never
overeat or go to bed hungry. Eat
ing a little lettuce with French
dressing is conducive to sleep.

PINEAPPLE PIE
AN APPETIZER

Pineapple pie is delicious at--this
season of the year and not at all diff
cut to make. Just try this recipe:
Make a good pastry and line deep
pie plate with it. Prick deeply and
bake a nice brown. Shred a pineap-
pie and cover with the required
amount of sugar and let it stand for
half an hour or longer to extract the
juice.
Then boil slowly until the fruit is
tender and clear. Fill the baked pie
crust with this mixture and make
meringue Of the whites of two eggs
and two tablespoons of powdered
sugar. Spread over the pie, brown
slightly and serve with a custard
made of half a pint of milk and the
yolks of the eggs beaten and then
added to the milk. Boil until thick
and smooth. Add a little vanilla after
1t Is cold. Apricots can be used for
pies in the same manner as the pine
apple.
Pineapple can be shredded and a
pineapple sponge made with two
beaten eggs, a pint of milk and a Ia
blespoon of powdered gelatin. Cook
until it curdles and then stir in a
cup of shredded pineapple. Boil two
or three minutes. Turn into a wet
mould and when cold turn out. The
gelatine will be at the bottom quite
clear.
