The Good Traveller.

There was a time, unfortunately,
when the American traveller in Eu-
rope was known as rather bump
tious sort of person. who went about
Dragging of the perfection of his
own land and poking fun at the
habits and customs peculiar to the
foreign lands in which he journeyed.
OF late years We have become far
more cosmopolitan, as race, and
therefore, we have made better trav-
elers.
Now, there is no place on earth
where our goOd-Or bad-manners
are so obvious as they are when we
are travelling. And we have it in our
power. by showing kindly manners
and good breeding. to make our fell
low travellers comfortable, just as we
can. by bad manners, make them
uncomfortable to the point of un-
happiness. Here are some reminders
to help you make travel pleasant,
not only for those about you, but
for yourself. For, of course, the
courteous traveller enjoys his jour-
ney far more than the rude or
thoughtless one.
To begin with. don't believe that
your ticket entities you to more than
your own seat. If you are fortunate
enough to travel in a car that is not
crowded, take all the room you want
until you see that others need it.
If you buy seat in parlor car
remember that it entities you only
to your own seat, and be especially
careful not to monopoliZe more than
your own seat.

a window beautifully without the use

it and will never again bother with

really not their business! They main
tain that it would leave a window
greasy-but this is not so; my win
dows are as bright shiny and grease
less as anybody's. And I hope other
young housekeepers. if you will print
this in your column, will follow my
through this quicker, easier method"

Your Ideal Weight.

A great many people do not know
whether they are too fat or too thin.
1t is more or less a matter of guess
work with them. And as they gain
weight slowly and see themselves
every day. and as they seem to be
in good health. it does not occur to
them that flesh is creeping slowly
over the whole body and gradually
covering up every line of youth or
grace. Besides this, stout women
are notoriously lenient to themselves.
If in room full of stout women
somebody speaks admiringly of
certain SLIM figured person, at least
one of the stout women will remark:
We'll. l like a little flesh on my
bones
You can find your ideal weight by
consulting the weight chart used by
the insurance companies. Most of
printed so you can read them while
you are getting weighed. These
charts are very liberal and you can
weigh ten pounds less if you are
grown woman and still be healthy.
Here is another method Stand
against a door in your stocking feet
and have somebody mark the height
of the top of your head. Take the
number of inches this is. Then null
tiply the number of inches over five
feet in height by 51s and add 10.
For instance, we will say you are
5 feet inches without your shoes

Books are a part of the household
furniture of every home in these days
of widespread education. Every home
has it's book shelves; they are as
much a part of the household stuff as
the kitchen table. Whether there
are enough books to justify sepa-
rate room. to be called the library, or
only enough to require bookcase IN
the living room, the problem is the
same, to have a place for books easy
to get at, good to look at, and to pro-
tect the books from wear and tear.
Built-in book shelves offer an easy
and attractive solution. They shou!d
be uniform in wood with the wood
satisfactory when not too high to be
easily reached by the average per
son. probably about five feet. The
shelves may be made adjustable. but
for the sake of uniformity of appear
ance fixed shelves are preferable.
For the different sizes of books. eight
inches in height should be allowed
for duodecimos. ten for octavos and
twelve for quartos; between the tops
of the books and the shelf above there
should be at least an inch; therefore
the shelves from the bottom up should
be thirteen, eleven and nine inches
high
Two shelves of each height would
bring the case to a little more than
the required five feet. In depth. the
shelves should be at least foot. The
lowest shelf should be raised three
inches. or a little more above the
floor, on foundation or plinth. Mold
lngs used at the bottom or top
should be simple. The cornice at
the top should not be elaborate or
project much beyond the rest of the
case. The top Of the case should be
level. easy to dust. and not Uttered
with indiscriminate bric-a-brac, but
made attractive with a few good
things in pottery. brass or glass. chos-
en- carefully in relation to one an
other and the room.

chase of symbols of remembrance of their efforts in the war.
 On this day nation wide effort will be made to create fund to be used exclusively in assisting dis abIed ex-service men who are in need of help.
 The acting governor of Arizona's proclamation follows:
 The debt which we, as American citizens, owe to those who gave their services for this country in the great war, is so great and so real that we cannot be reminded of it too often. especially if the reminder results in some concrete recognition of what We owe them. Particularly is this true with reference to the thousands of disabled American soldiers who now find themselves unable to earn livelihood as a result of the wounds

they received of the hardships they endured in that tremendous conflict.
 Although our government is carry ing out program of rehabilitation for the benefit of these sufferers, there are many cases which cannot be reached by governmental machin- cry, and it therefore behooves us to add our assistance in any way pos sible to afford them relief.
 Saturday. Dec. IT. has been desig- mated by the national headquarters of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war as the day on which a nationwide effort will be made for the purpose of creating a relief fund to be used exclusively in assisting disabled veterans who are in need of help. It is proposed that this laudable plan be carried out through the sale of forget-me-nots in every. American community The funds thus obtained are to be divided equally between the local chapter and the treasury of of the national organization.
 It appearing that the Disabled American War Veterans of the World war is an organization the members and officers of which serve without salary and the motives of this cam paign being wholly altruistic, 1 would Ds speak for this effort the hearty cooperation and assistance of the people of Arizona.
 May not the Christmas spirit which Is finding expression in our hearts at this time reach out to those men who are now paying with pain and suf- fering for the privileges which we enjoy( and may we not respond most generously to this opportunity to re- pay in some slight measure the great debt we owe to them.
 Now, therefore, I. Ernest R. Hall, acting governor of the state of Art- zona, by virtue of authority vested in me by law, do hereby designate Saturday, Dec. IT, as F'orget-Me- Not day, and do call upon all the people of the state of Arizona to respond cheerfully and generously to the needs of the disabled American vet erans of the World war, and I do urge that each one contribute through the purchase of these little symbols of remembrance, to the elle- viation of the sufferings and distress of those to whom we owe debt which can never be fully paid.
 In witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 10th day of December, 1921.
