Mrs. H.:-"How can my husband and I remove varnish from our floors?''
 Answer: Apply strong I've water with an old broom, beginning in the farth- est corner of the room and working backward toward the door. When the varnish is soft, put on an old pair of shoes or wornout rubbers, start at the door with the broom, and sweep the pasty varnish forward until it is gathered in a sticky mass in the oppo- site corner, then take it up. Some times a second application of lye is necesSa Sary-especfaIIy in scases where several coats of varniSh have been ap- piled, and scraping with a putty knife may be necessary here and there on small areas. When you get off all the varnish, mop the floor with clear, hot water If the Iye has darkened it slightly, apply with a cheap wh1tewash brush the following solution: Buy at a druggists about 1-2 cupfuI of oxalic acid crystals (this is a poison, so should be kept out of the reach of children and pets) and dissolve these crystals in five six quarts of water When the flor is sufficiently bleached by this solution, rinse it with strong ammonia water, then with clear water. Your process is now completed, and you have a nice, clean floor.

Grateful:-As you are finding the egg shampoo helps your hair, it will be all right Tor you to continue it. You are 15 pounds overweight.
 Eleanor:-When the pores of the face have become coarsened it takes more than just local treatment to overcome this. A daily hot bath for the whole body will help much as it will relieve the pores of the face by keeping the skin clear over the whole body.
 The clean digestive tract and nor nal action of the kidneys are all needed to relieve the pores of the complexion so they will not be over worked It is this which coarsens the pores, so to refine them put the system in perfect order and after that you will find the astringents contract ing these overworked little organs of the skin.
 Grateful:-The sulphur and mo- lasses blood purifier should not be taken in the cold weather as this would make you sensitive to the cold by thinning the blood.
 Interested Reader:-Y can have the eyelash formula filled by any druggist and it will be a much bet ter tonic than if you chose any sepa- rate ingredient from it to use on the lashes. Everything in the formula is needed Or it would not be included

THE MOSAIC SANITARY CoDE-II


 aera discuss the letter printed yes terday. Rather than being foolish it is one of the most sensible I have ever received, present something really worth discussing between earnest seek CTS for medical truth on the one hand, and, on the other hand, a physician heartily ready to give out what he knows about hygiene sanitation. The Jewish young lady (to whom please make my compliments) is we'll worthy your continuing to consider her both intelligent and broad minded. I think that in these respects she averages up very well and that, all by hreseIf' she has handed you five girls some very cogent wisdom out of the past.
 We must remember that the Mosaic Sa nitary Code was arranged primarily for the Holy Land, a country very tor rid in parts where creatures killed for food would purify very quickly; also where the animals blood would turn certainly within 24 hours. Therefore many of the regulations of Moses need not apply to our part of the earth where the iceman calls every day.
 Except for such differences as this I believe the Health Code formulated by Moses to be the best the world has known, until the germ theory was for mulated by Pasteur in Hsne latter half of the nineteenth century And those Jewish people who today practice the old orthodox faith are, as a rule, the healthiest people I, at least, know of in this world. Why? their food is kosher" they are pure foodists l know, as to this, the Jewish young lad dy is right. There are Hebrew off cia1s who inspect the carcasses of slain animals and cast out those diseased as Icing unfit for Jewish food-that is. trefa Other reasons are that, a.

over, the best way to rid yourself of the double chin is a general reduc- ton. You may also massage tk 3 chin and follow this by using and astringent to contract the skin as you consume the fatty tissue. The pro cess is very simple.
 Tilt the chin and take the palm or the hand and use it as you would an iron, beginning at the lower part of the throat make a stroke upward and carry it out to the point of the chin. It should be vigorous so the blood will be well circulated as this will strengthen the muscles and make them firm

Dear Mrs. Thompson:: Last winter and part of last spring a girl friend of mine stayed with us in order to attend school, as she lives in the coun- trv. She was a sweet little girl one year my junior and was my closest and dearest friend We went every where together.
 My friend wasn't taught to work at home, but she always helped me -.,,b Inc dishes evenings and some times in other ways. She seemed lihe One Sunday evening my mother took sick. My friend and I together with her cousin who lives not lar from us had been to church on coming home my friend sad that maybe she ought not to stay ana make more work. She decided to stay with her cousin that night and until mother was better.
 Several days later she came back hut not to stay She wanted her dress. [ told her mother was well and asked if she wouldn't stay, put she gave me a curt answer. About q month later she came for the rest oh

GIVE US A CHANGE.

Prithee listen, Margot, listen,
 Ere your new book is begun, While your probe and scalpel glisten
 In our boorish western sun, Ere you start to vivisect us
 And to list our ailments true, You should really not expect us
 To quite measure up to you. We may drive you to the humdrums,
 And we realize it well.
 We're a lot of verdant rum -dums,
 And our culture, it is hell. We are dull and we are soggy,
 We're vuIgarians so crude That our sense of things is groggy
 And our social code is rude We are young, remember, MargOt,
 So our ways are not refined. Ere you place your keen embargo.
 Please keep that fact in your mind. We are quite apologetic.
 We stand naked in the glare Of a genius so magnetic
 That all secrets are laid bare. Give our structure, as you scan 1t,
 All the censure it demands.
 Write our virtues on the granite,
 Write our faults upon the sands re not Supermen, not scholars,
 And our table manners? Wow! But our dollars, oh, our dollars,
 They will look darn good to thou
 Next thing to going to a cat show, our supreme delight is in attending social tea at which some parIor Bol- shevik tries to tell us how are all wrong We know we are all wrong or we wouldn't be a the tea, so it is clear waste of time to listen to him.
 The thing we want to know is what to do about it, and no parlor Bolshe-

 ! Young Reader: Please give me
 some advice. I have no mother and
 am working a maid in a lovely home I want to learn to spend my 1 money wisely. This spring I am go- | ing to buy a dark blue serge suit, but
 I am afraid if I get a dark blue satin 1 lining in it, the blue will come off on my white waists, leaving colored pers- 1 piration stains. Yet want a. blue 1in- l ing. Shall I take the chance?" l Answer: It depends upon how good suit you buy If a very expensive one, do not take a chance on blue lin ing; for, a. very reasonable suit is sell dom made of guaranteed materials
 and 1t would be safest to get a light figured lining. If, however, you pay
 fairly good price for the suit and buy it of a. reputable firm, you need have fear of it's coming off on your | waists Many women wear shields in their suit-coats as well as in their waist-sleeves to guard against this 1 trouble There is one big argument in favor of plain, colored lining: it can i be matched more easily than figured lining when it begins to wear thread bare under the arms and at the edge of the cuffs Write to me again if you
 need further advice.

Tokio, Feb. S.-(By The A. P.).- The agreements reached at the Wash ington conference mark the first step toward establishment of real and lasting peace with the possibility of abolition of arnaments, Premier Ba- ron Takahashi told the House of Peers yesterday.
 The Imperial government does not pretend that the conference was an unqualified success as viewed from an individual standpoint he said. It does believe with the other powers that the present agreements are the first step toward realization of a real and lasting peace and that such agree ments will grow in the future even into an understanding for the total abolition of defense eQuipna entS-
