How We Build
 the Structure of Good Paint

Some people figure paint economy as Cost per gallon" That is wrong For cheap" paint doesn't cover SO much surface-you buy more gallons. "Chcap" paint is harder Go spread and you have more labor cost So the cheap paint on che house costs just as much as che best of paint.
 Don't allow surfaces to rot-it costs iess Go paint them.
 "Cheap' paint on the average starts cracking in twelve months, while the best paint stays intact from five to ten times longer, if properly applied. Figure thc cost per year of seroiee and decide which paint you want to use.
 We spend more to make paints for your economy Be sure you get them when you paint.

To clean velvet collars make q

brush. Wipe with clean, hot
cloth to remove all soap, then
steam and the collar will look like

Many garment shows no signs
OF wear, but its color has become
faded or perhaps distasteful. In
such case home dyeing will prove
an economical solution. Before be-
ginning the garment should be
completely ripped, cleansed and
washed. While the use of fake or
soap cold-water dyes is sometimes
successful, more permanent results
are secured by the use OF the hot
water bath dyes. The chief place
of the soap dyes is in tinting. not
real dyeing. They act best on chif-
fon and sheer materials. but not so
we'll on wool and heavy fabrics.
Many women are adept at home
dyeing, but 1t is process which
requires care and constant watch
ing throughout. One must be
careful to dissolve perfectly and
strain the dye powder. The article
to be dyed must be wet, preferably
hbt, and It should be immersed
quickly. The bath must be stirred.
A control piece Of goods about
four inches square should be used
frequently to test the dye to secure
inst the right shade.
Always remember that the color
will dry out much lighter than
when taken from the bath. The
article should be rinsed quickly
and carefully in cold water and
dried in a still place. Observe the
directions for whatever salt or
vinegar is required to "set" the dye
while in the bath.
The dyed pieces should be care--

Why We Should Battle Internally
Adds Many Years to Average Life

u F UGH has been said and
nv volumes have been written
~ describing at length the
many kinds Of baths civilized
man has indulged in from time
to time. Every possible resource Of
the human mind has been brought
into play to fashion new methods
OF bathing, but strange as 1t may
seem. the most important as vell as
the most beneficial Of all baths, the
Internal Bath" has been given little
thought. The reason for this Ia prob
ably due to the fact that few people
seem to realize the tremendous part
that internal bathing plays in the &C
Quiring and maintaining Of health.
II you were to ask dozen people
to define an internal bath. you would
have as many different definitions.
and the probability II that not one Of
them would be correct. To avoid
any misconception as to what con-
sututes an internal bath, let It be
said that a hot water enema Ia no
more an internal bath than q bill OF
fare II a dinner.
II It were possible and agreeable to
take the great mass OF thinking people
TO witness an average post-rhortem,
the sight they would see and the
things they would learn would prove
Of such lasting benefit, and impress
them 30 profoundly, that further argu.
ment in favor Of internal bathing
would be unnecessary to convince
them Unfortunately, however, II Is
not possible to do this, profitable as
such an experience would doubtless
prove to be. There Is, then, only one
other way to get this information into
their hands, and that IL by acquaint.
ing them with such knowledge as will
enable them to appreciate the value of
this long-sought-Sor health-producing
necessity.
Few people realize what very little
thing Is necessary sometimes to i'm
prove their physical condition. Also
they have almost no conception OF how
a little carelessness, indifference or
neglect can be the fundamental cause
Of the most virulent disease. For In
stance, that universal disorder from
which almost all humanity is suffer
ing, known as constipation" auto
intoxication," "auto-infection," and q
multitude Of other terms, Is not only
durable, but preventable, through the
consistent practice OF internal bathing.
How many people realize that
normal functioning Of the bowels and
a clean intestinal tract make 1t Inn
possible to become sick? Man Of to-
day is only so per cent efficient"
Reduced to simple English this means
that most men are trying to do n
mans portion Of work on half mans
power. This applies equally to
women.
That 1t is impossible to continue to
do this Indefinitely must be apparent
to all. Nature never intended the
delicate human organism to be
operated on a 100 per cent overload.
A machine could not stand this and
not break down, and the body GER
tainly cannot do more than'a machine.

sary and avoidable sickness in the
world.

M to bring home to the woman
49, who 10 forced to make over
or renovate garments for herself or
children. In the first place the
home woman may compete with
great success with the commercial
cleanser who charges us 80 much.
1t Is not beyond the ability of any
capable woman to learn to remove
stains. spots and soil from clothing
by either q dry, of wet method.
The materials used are chiefly
Trench chalk, purchased at the
Z druggists, and the best grade Of
benzine or ether, or gasoline.
In most cases II Ii advisable to
rip the garment entirely apart first
In order to be able to work on It
better. II the garment is Of silk,
or part silk, or in light colors Of
woods. It is best to use benzine or
gasoline. Great care has to be
taken with the process.
Choose q cool day and work in
the shade or on the roof or In the
cellar. where there is no danger
from FIRE. Have sufficient of which
ever liquid You use to immerse the
garment completely and actually
wash, using, small brush II the
garment is very badly soiled. Rinse
in clean bensine or gasoline and
hang at once OUT OF DOORS
Pour the dirty liquid at once upon
the ground-never down q drain,
pipe.
In many cases II is best to re-
move the worst grease spots before
washing the entire article. To do
this lay the spot over a piece Of
clean white blottfng paper and
gently brush or scour with soft
brush or cloth moistened in the
gasoline. Consequently change the
blotter and piece Of cloth used In
rubbing and rab the stain until 1t
is dry. Then immerse as already
described. This method is best on
new fresh stains, especially Of
grease or oil.
The use Of q medicine dropper to
apply the stain remover will great
ly aid the work and keep 1t neat.
Quickness and care are also neces-
sary to good results. 1t is most
important to know what material
has caused the stain-whether
milk, blood, machine oil, grass or
what-because each stain must ba
handled in a different way.
There is a special "reagent" or
chemical which affects and neutral
ICES the substances which have
created the stain in the first place.
Thus lemon Juice or oxalic acid re-
moves ink; borax removes fruit
stains; hydrochloric acid removes
iron rust; turpentine removes ma
chine oil, and SO on. The better
the worker knows the causes Of the
stains the more sure she will be
of removing them.
While either gasoline or benzine
can be used on the most delicate
silk or chiffon, these are often as
well treated with tepid water and
white soap. Wash and rinse very
quickly without creasing. II fabrics
are very delicate they may be given
a treatment with French chalk or
Fuller's earth. Fuiler's earth, dry
starch and magnesia (French
chalk) are absorbents, and by Gov
ering the fabric with one Of these
dry powders the dirt, especially
when of a greasy nature, is ab-
sorbed. This method is particular
