HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS

"And your head is bobbing around

Melia's words were almost harsh,

hands and heart attributed to Flor

She had q strong arm. and she knew

cousins home.
The first thing she did was to help
carry a camp bed into the sick room.
With strong arms she lifted the sick
woman from her bed to the camp bed.
and, covering her warmly, proceeded
to air the room with the crisp, cold
air. turning the mattress, pounding
pillows, spreading fresh sheets swift

the sheets, and the patient was re-

turvy world.
There are less semi precious furs
than there used to be, but there are
many common garden varieties that
have their source in the common
walks of life. The furriers. like the
mllliners, no longer consider il nee
essary to go to the remote recesscs
of the jungle for their offerings, and
they do not consider it necessary to
call a goat or "a sheep by anv other
name than its own. We think it
rather piquant to trot around in the
hide OF Chinese goat or an Aus
tralian. but one suspects, even under
this frankness, that Mrs. wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch could tell more
about most Of these goats than could
a mandarin.

MO woman need spend anxious
nights in worrying over the kind
and quality of fur to buy, but the
subtle change in the cut and appear
ance of wraps is sufficient to cause
thought of extravaganza
Possibly one can manage to shape
an old coat into the appearance of a
new one. but the expert doubts that
such tasks will be easy.
The fare in the hem Is the trouble
It has not been there for several
years and women are accustomed to
the scanty fullness at the knees and
the immense breadth where the ell
bows are, but there is a reversal of
this shaping. Wraps flare below the
waist line, sometimes outrageously.

show to the new idea. they do not re-
tain the excessive narrowness of re-
cent years.
There Is fullness across the shoul
ders in many coats, but certain smart
they were weighted at the bottom.
Nearly all the new ones have addi-
tional capes to accentuate the breadth
across the top and to give extra
warmth.
There Is an unusual wrap designed
in Paris and built Of kolinsky that
has as great width across the top as
an ancient Chinese jacket. 1t forms
sleeves through it's shaping and when
a woman wears 1t she is tempted be-
yond her strength to keep the arms
stretched out to their full length as
an eagle flies.
This wrap has a shaped yoke which
is one of the new touches on capes
and gives the furrier a chance to
show his skill at matching and
streaking furs. It mounts into
,atovepipe collar rolling it's upper
4edges under the nose.
While this wrap has extraordinary
arm coverings, the usual way to place
sleeve in these fur capes is to
conceal it. The idea is to make the
public believe that the arms emerge
from slashes in the fullness. There
are no set-in sleeves, but there is a
definite arm covering.
Every woman knows that a sleeve

Homework and Hands.

Recently l said something about
the value Of housework as beauty
exercise. know many of my read
ers are going to tell me that. though
it may be good for the arms. it is
exceedingly hard on the hands.
All this is true enough. But there
are any number of little ways of pro-
tecting the hands while working and
of treating them as soon as house,
work is finished. First of all, never
touch a stove or furnace or ashes, un-
less you have gloves on. Cotton
gloves used to be ten cents a pair,
row they are twice as much, at least.
They are cheap at any reasonable
price, however, since they do protect
the hands when doing dirty, dusty
work.
In fact most housework can be
done with gloves on. Cotton or can
vas gloves are for dusting and sweep
ing and for tending fires; rubber
gloves, which are a little more ex-
Densive, for scrubbing and dishwash :
ing. There are only two household
duties I know Of that cannot be done
with gloves on. One is making beds,
which is not hard on the hands and
the other is laundry work, which Is

devices to eliminate the old-fash-
ioned scrubbing board.
The new soap flakes and powders
are SO cleansing in their action that
practically no rubbing is necessary,
while long-handled mops and long
handled scrubbing brushes save both
the back and the hands. If the hands

with oil or lard, then wash this off

 TO GET SERVICE - No lo.-Sr will the residents of Flower street have to walk two full city blocks to take the Indian School car to town. The cor poration commission yesterday ordered the Phoenix Street Railway company to direct the cars operating over the Indian School line to make the stop which will accommodate the 24 fami- lies living on that street. Some time ago the patrons of the line protested that the railway refused to stop on Flower street which necessitated a walk of GOO feet. The commission held a hearing and recognizing the justifi- cation of the complaint ordered the stop made.
 TO REcTIFY MISTAKE-In order that a mistake in the printed session laws might not cost the sheriff of Apache county s1,700 year, the board of supervisors have requested Ernest Hall, secretary of state, to forward them 8 certified copy of Senate bill 45 printed in the 1919 session laws. Tn paragraph the salary of the sheriff of a county of the fourth class is given as $500, while the salary according to the law is S3,000. The advance in salary went into effect the first of the year, the former salary being $2, 400 a year.

Bread is the food we find on every table-rich and poor alike. Pity the man who eats little bread. He tickles his palate at the expense of stamina and muscular strength. His resist ance to disease is weakened by the rich foods he eats. We sometimes hear the expression, ''The sick rich man cannot get we'll" He pays the price of rich foods and too little bread.

Dorothy DIX Talks
By DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer,
Smile, Smile, SMILE.


The head of the employment bureau
in big department store that en-
ploys hundreds of women clerks and
stenographers, says that the quaIifica-
ton that he attaches most Importance
to in a girl, is her smile.
OF course, the applicant for a position
must be reasonably intelligent-look-
ing, but beyond that it doesn't matter
to this student of feminine psychology
whether she is homely or pretty, or
tall or short, or a flapper or one who
has ceased to celebrate her birthdays.
The job she wants is hers, if she wears
smile that won't come off.
Because the girl who smiles nine
times out of ten is a winner. First,
because everybody like to have deal
ings with a cheerful person. There is
something in happy looking face
that draws us as irresistibly as a mag
net draws a needle.
The girl who stands smiling behind
her counter, is the one we instructive
ly select to buy from. The girl who
smiles above her typewriter as she
works, and who wears an expression
of contentment and pleasure as she
goes about her duties, is never the one
who is dispensed with when the force
is cut down. She is like sunshine in
the office, and everybody wants her to
stay. The waitress who takes your
order with a smile. flavors your food
with something that turns a plain
meal into a banquet and makes you
double your tip.
1t is the girls who never smile dur
ing working hours. who never succeed.
Who wants to buy from a scowling
young woman whose face looks like
the human expression of a vinegar
cruet? Who wants to keep in their
creature who feel that she is being
done a deadly wrong in being asked
to earn any part of the salary she is
paid? Who wants to have about them
any woman, in any capacity, who looks
as if her favorite employment was
swapping the heads off of everyone
with whom she had to have any bust
ness dealings?
Nobody. There's enough unpleasant
ness in the world that we can't es-
cape, without our affecting ourselves
voluntarily by having a grim, grOuchy
girl around US. A girls smile is her
best asset. because we forgive such a
lot to people who are good natured
and easy to get along with. Pleasant
ness and cheerfulness are the mantle
of charity. They cover a multitude Of
sins.
Sarah never will learn how to make
bread that is not a first aid to the I'M
dertaker. No human agency can make
Jane sweep under the bed. Harriet
spelling is a disgrace. Somebody al
ways has to check up Florence's books
for her. Maude will mix her sales
slips. A hundred times we have been
on the point of firing them, but we
never do. Because when we scold
them for their faults, they turn upon
us the smile that disarms wrath, and
we think that after all, we would
rather put up with their plumbers and
have their sunny faces about US, than
to have to deal with paragons of eff
ffciency who would, like as not, be
monuments of gloom.
