EXCESSIVE PRESERVATION

Man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. It says so in the Bible.
 Sometime when we have more ideal social conditions, we will obey the Bible injunction and we will not have one set of people doing nothing but physical work and sweating, and the other nothing but mental work and swearing. Swearing. because they have to diet and go through all sorts of physical culture stunts in or der to sweat to keep down their weight and keep in good physical condition.
 I believe that under ideal social condftoins those of us who do men tai work will be obliged to do some physical work also, and vice versa.
 However, we do not want to sweat excessively. And apparently there are some of us who do that, judging from the numerous requests that have to write on the subject.
 Excessive precipitation (hyperidro sis) may be general or local. The causes of the general hyperidrosis may be: obesity. psychical Clear, ex- citement. hysteria, etc), or the ab- corption of toxins or poisons which are absorbed by the system in tuber- culosis, acute rheumatism and other
 
 senic or alcohol. The treatment of the condition in these cases is of course, the treatment of the under lying cause.
 Today I shall talk a little on ex- cessive local precipitation, especially in the axfllae or arm pits. The woes of those whose evening gowns are ruined by precipitation and the ob- jection to its odor have been heard by big commercial concerns and nu- merous preparations are on the mar ket to prevent the sweat glands un- der the arms from working. Personally, I do not care whether the sweat glands work or not,-I am not so keen about work myself-but as public health physician I must warn you that you may save your gown at the expense of your health if you use any preparation that does its business by putting other concerns out of business.
 | The sudoriferous or sweat glands, are the organs of the skin by which a large part of the watery and gas eous waste material of the body is | eXcreted.
 They are found practically in every | part Of it's surface, situated in small l pits below the deep layer of the skin,

MYSTERY OF THE MANICURE

MYSTERY OF THE MANICURE
 To some women, the process of ac- quiring perfectly manicured nails is a great mystery. No matter how carefully they try, they cannot bring their own fingertips to that state of pink perfection which Is true of the woman with a good maid; or even of and money to have her nails 'done" once or twice a week.
 Yet the mystery of nice looking nails is very simple to solve. They must be treatd gently and not over manicured. I think that is the fault of the ineXpert woman-she is so afraid she isn't doing enoungh to her nails, that she overdoes them.
 The nails must be filed to a point ed oval shape first, using a long. flexible, steel file. Then the fling ertips must be soaked for a few minutes in a bowl of warm soapy wa ter, preferably containing a little lemon to bleach off stains. Then the the ends with emery board. and gone scissors so all the jagged loose bits of skin are cut off.
 Cream IS rubbed in them and the cuticle pushed back with an orange wood stick. This leaves them ready for the first polishing with polish ing powder. When this is washed off final polish is given with the palm of the hand. or a clean buffer.
 The mystery lies only in shaping the nails nicely with the file and in making the cuticle smooth around the edges. Cream rubbed into them keeps the cuticle from drying too

After I had known her two weeks I asked her to marry me She longs for the day when she won't have to go to work. She can't cook and Is always complaining of being sick. At times she acts very ugly toward me.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been going with a young man for two years. He has lived with his moth er but she died a short time ago and the house was broken up. He took a room and furnished it with a few things of his own. For two months he has been out of work, but now he has secured work in another town and he is going to leave. He has asked me to accept his Victrola. as a gift. He has not proposed mar riage, but I am almost sure he loves me and is only waiting until things are better for him to propose.
 Would it be all right to accept the Victrola and his records?
 DOUBTFUL.
 Yes, it would be all right to ac- cept the gift
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: Three years ago I met a young man and we be- came very friendly for about a year. Then friends and my people made little trouble. He stopped speaking to me, and I couldn't understand why, Then stories came out and the things that were said hurt me very much, as I cared a great deal for this man. A short time ago we started to speak. have sent him cards for holiday greetings with just friendly word or so- Do you think it right and proper for me to do so?
 PANSY EYES.
 If the young man also sends you greetings, 1t is all right for you to continue to remember him in that way. But if you send the greetings, and he never does, stop doing it.

Pour cover on, set it to boil 20 min t1tes, then place in moderate oven. Cut top crusts in four equal parts, dish apples, lay on them pieces of side crust cut in diamonds and pieces of top crust on plate. Serve with cream.
 Suggestions Conserving Paraf1ne-Save all the paraffine you remove from glasses of jelly and jam. After washing it put
 it away until you have saved a suff1- cient amount, then melt it and pour i it into a dish. Anything that has chung to the paraffine in spite of the washing stays in the bottom of the pan used for the melting. The para fine is just the same as new after
 this treatment.
 A Protection for Milk or Cream Use small paper bags to slip over the top of milk and cream jars after re-
 moving the cap.. This allows the air to get in and at the sar1o time keeps out all dust
 Staying Buttonholes-When but tonhoIes tear or pull out, stitch a
 strip of tape. the color of the gar
 ment, across each edge of the button 1 hole and across the end. Stitch on leach edge of the tape, and then if the garment is worth the outlay of work,
 work over the tape as you did for the battonhole If. however, the gar l ment is nearly worn out, the tape alone win be sufficient. Wide tape may often be used for patching, es- pecialiy on wristbands where mater l iaI is pulled out with the buttons. It 1 fs stout and saves turning in on edges t is especially helpful in rnending tchffdrens underwear.

Convinced Public Speaking Is

timid girl, finding it difficult to say
much even before home folks, let alone

She was member of church So

meetings. She had tried and tried, but
could never get her courage up at the
last minute.
Finally, the leader, to help her out,
gave her some Scripture verses to read.
They read rs follows: "And bring

MEANING OF THE WORD VEAL
Departments of Agriculture Frequent
Iy Called Upon to Decide Be-
tween Veal and Beef.

There seems to be marked varia-
tion of opinion as to what is meant
by the word veal. Ordinarily, when
one hears the word uttered, he thinks
of the carcass or meat of Il young
bovine, In most cases this concep-
tion of the meaning of the word veal
is sufficient and IL can be dismissed
from the mind without further con-
sideration; but, when one is called
upon to state just what constitutes
veal. there may be some difficulty ex-
perienced in determining when n bo-
vine carcass is or is not to be re-
garded as veal.
Departments of agriculture are
sometimes called upon to decide
whether or not rather heavy car
cass should be classified as veal or
beef and the decision conforms to the
conclusion of authorities on the sub
iect which is as follows:
Calf carcasses weighing less than
400 pounds, with comparatively light.
colored, ne-grained fiesh are classi
fed as veal.

Ahipi's OF improved livestock and
poultry at county and state fairs this
year promise to be unusually interest
ihs' according to information received
by the United States Department of
agriculture from many sources. In
practically all parts of the country. ex-

tractlve features of fairs. The atten-
''oh wHich breeders and farmers have

WIN good feed and care, have resulted
III some exceptionally well-bred and
weil-ttted animals.
IN encouraging farmers to fake ad-
vantage of the opportunities which
ialrs ana livestock exhibits give for
observing improved livestock and poul-
try the Department of Agriculture
places emphasis on the following
points: Livestock displays afford an
opportunity TO study breeds and types
and to see large number of good ami
mas. In the case of meat animals the
size, conformation, and uniformity are
worthy of special study in view of in
crensing tendency to raise purebred
and high grade stock as market ami
mails as well as for breeding.
Farmers attending livestock displays
obtain useful information by meeting
others who are interested in superior
breeding and feeding methods Besides
the ideas exchanged and information
gained, new enthusiasm for the work
is common result. Animals and poul
try may be purchased at most fairs
though as rule it is more satisfactory
for farmer to purchase animals at
the home Of the breeder than to buy
fitted animals at fairs Animals that
have been prepared for exhibition usu-
ally are priced higher than untitled
ones of similar quality and breeding
