HEALTH AND BEATTY.

Massaging the scalp will stop falling hair and increase the amount of natural oil.
 As a means of whitening the hands, a little weak peroxide of hydrogen rubbed over them with a sponge will be found very effective. This should not be done more than once a week or ten days, and all rings should be removed before it is applied as the peroxide not only dis colors the gold but the gems as well.
 When sick person likes to read but does not feel strong enough to hold a gook, long strip of short stories, verses, amusing pictures anl so on may be a welcome substitute. The strip should be nearly rolled. Of course this idea might be developed in various ways, but even in the simple form outlined above it is a good one.
 There is no doubt that most women should, at least five times every week, be in bed an hour before midnight, physi- clans say, and should not make a prac- tice of being out of bed after midnight For the average woman eight hours is usually sufficient, but some women can retain good health on an amount of sleer which would mean death to others

EYE INJURIES.

The commonest eye. injury is the lodg- Ing of some sort of speck between the eyeball and the lids, or on the surface of the eyeball. Don't rub the surface it and the tears may wash the speck out or into view, so that it can be remov- ed.
 If this does not succeed, close the eye and blow the nose hard. If still unsuc- cessfui, look al the lower lid, turning it dc tvn gently, Remove the speck with the corner Of a clan handkerchief. It is much harder to see the inner surface of the upper lid.
 To do this, seat your patient in a chair with the head bent backward. stand be- hind him and place the small end of a pen handle about ~one-haf inch above the edge of the lid. Have him look down and turn the lid back over this. Remove the speck as before.
 But if you cant do all this with the greatest gentleness, don't do it at all but soak some soft fine cloth in cool wa ter and bandage this in place on botn eyes. Then send for a doctor. Do the same when the eye-ball is injured.
 When a speck has been removed from the eye the latter will be soothed by couple of drops of castor oil. If acid has entered the eye neutralize with bak. ing soda and water.

CLEANED FROM FOREIGN
 EXCHANGES.

The prime minister, in his speech at the dinner of the Federation Of Bri-. tish Industries, went directly to the question of the present trade slump; which, as he said, might be shortened or heightened, 'mitigated or aSgrav2t- ed, but cannot possibly be avoided. He Rightly laid stress on it's world wide character and causes, and the corresponding necessity of applying, so far as possible, a worldwide cure. For him that cure is peace-not merely the signing of treaties, but rebuilding of normal economic relations and the restoration of good will. The great hindrance, as he sees it, lies in the survival of wars rancours-the blow ing-up of the embers of controversy" to which too many people in too many countries are still addicted. In regard to economy, he affirmed with emphasis the present duty of all governments. our own included, to cut down public expenditure in every practical way. But he added the timely reminder that private extravagance is just as mis- chievous as public; there must be economy all round.

 Bananas should always be cooked quickly, especially when fried.
 Jenies can be removed very easily if their nolds are of aluminium.
 Sheets and towels have lovely clean odor when folded unironed.
 The key to the success of cottage cheese is in having the clahber very firm
 whole nourishing meal is contained in a meat and vegetable casserole
 Have a timer make pan to fit your entire gas oven space. Use this pan when baking cookies to save both time and gas
 Screw a metal towel rack upside down to the wardrobe shelf. This holds many more hangers than hooks do. If something has stuck or burned in your aluminium pan or kettle, a short corncob will clean it off without scratch ing or injuring the metal For iron rust stains take one table spoon oxalic acid to- one pint of water and let boil until rust disappears. Add salt to the first water you wash spinach in and it will not require so many washings as are usually required. Smoky mica in the stove doors may l be made 10 LOOK llke new Dy washing II with a cloth dipped in cider vinegar. This can be done when the stove is very hot
 l Aluminium pots, pans or other utensils should never be washed in water con- | taining sal soda. l To remove grease spots on tables or | floors moisten them with cold water and soda before scrubbing.

YOUTHFUL VELVET FRoCKs

A charming frock of chiffon velvet worn recently was very youthful in spite of it's material. The velvet was palest blue and the dress was cut on straight chemise lines with a scalloped hem and 'taD,slB of pale blue maline dnoppihg from the waist line at either side, strewn with petals of silver and blue tissue. Chif- ion velvet is chosen by many women this season for dinner gowns, and the dark colors have been favored but now comes a smart dressmaker who is sponsoring his material in pastel colors for youthful dance frocks. It is not as costly as one might suppose, for a simple style is not urally chosen for such fabric and it is obvious that little trimming is required Then, too, there is no perplsXing prob lem of a lining to consider, while trans parent fabrics mean satin or metallic slips which often est more than the frock itself

ANTS.

The surest way to keep house free from ants is to leave no food lying baout on shelves or in open places where they can reach it.
 Ants go where they find food, and if the food supplies of the household are kept in ant proof metal containers or in iceboxes, and if all food that may happen to be scattered by children or others is cleaned up promptly the ant nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread, su- gar, meat and like substances are espec- ially attractive to the ants and should be kept from them.
