HEALTH AND REAUTY

If the pores in the skin are extreme ly fine or large or coarse it indicates
 ihattention to b5eathing, circulation and diet
 Busy people who are denied outdoor exercise should realize how important to health is the position of the body
 in sitting and walking. 4 Hindu writer
 on spiritual and bodily health reminds IuS that we cannot think high thoughts
 with the chest in.
 Apart from the pleasing bath of hot water, the tepid bath is the one most suited for daily use-that is, of tenn perature of 80 to 90 degrees Fanr. II does not prove enervating, and, taken in soft Perfumed water and followed by a good brisk rubbing with a soft towel, it has a most invigorating and health giving effect.
 The housewife, instead of washing her hands frequently, may often rub ir a few drops of olive oil dusting. with l talcum powder, finally wiping upon a coarse towel Always wear old loose i kid gloves when doing dirty, heavy
 work about the house. Never expose your hands to the cold air without :. covering. Carelessness in this regard
 sometimes leads to the most painful ! cases of chapped hands, which require : long and constant treatment to over. ] come

RIBBON AS TRIMMING

Ribbons play an important part in the early spring millinery, for not only are hats trimmed with knots of them but in some cases they compose. the entire model. Velvet, grosgrain. moire. moire faced with satin-in fact, all materials-are used in ribbon form. These are sometimes cire and some times in bright eolors on 3 black hat.
 The ribbon cockade, which has been So popular, is often replaced by one made of heavy weave of straw, com bined with strips of felt. Rows of dyed valencienpes lace are also made into odd and charming trimmings.
 Clipped ostrich in quills or pompoms or in long thin strands, is a decided ly popular trimming.
 The uncurled feather, and even the glycerined one, is still used. Hats made entirly of cock feathers or of long, narrow ones placed side by side to form a rim or round and round to form a crown. with, perhaps, a tuft hang over one side, are new.

LAUNDRY HINTS

Iron oo1ored things while still damp.
 Add handful of ordinary salt to each tubful of water in washing col ored clothes-it prevents the color from running.
 Never soak colored things-soap, wash, rinse, pull into shape, and hang out to dry as swiftly as possible. For cotored clothes add teaspoon of vinegar to the last rinsing water, to bring up the color-do not use blue. If you wish to remove a paint stain from garment saturate the spot with spirits of turpentine, let it remain a few hours and then rub the spot be- tween the hands The paint will then crumble away without injuring the ma terial.
 A mixture of one ounce of fine pipe i clay, F drops of alcohol and turpen- tine each is an excellent medium for removing stains from broadcloth In cleaning, moisten only a small part of of the material atsa time, rub on the spot, let it remain until dry and then rub it off with woolen cloth

DICTATES OF FASHION

Many of the new skirts for the south are frdnged at the bottom.
 A cape of yellow knitted silk is bound all around about with black ribbon of dull finish. A combination of plaid skirt with plain coat is effective for sport wear Some of the new French corded silks show a solid color woven with fine gold threads.
 Trimming that emphasizes the width of the hat is in vogue,
 The two-button gauntlet is the fa- vorite glove both in fabric and kid.
 Tinsel brocade and chenille ribbon are used extensively as trimming. Bead and sequin trimmings are lav- ishly used. Buttons are usually of bone or self covered. Chinchilla and camel's hair cloth have received tho stamp of approval for sports suits A single large flower with 8 trail ing spray is used for 9 dress orpa- ment,
 Waigtcoats are popular. Especially those Of cloth, lace and fancy silk. Lace jabots are returning to favor and the Medici collar is well liked.
 The gored shoe with an inset of elas- | tic is seen frequently.

 When Secretary Davis, in his effort to get the miners and operators to meet in eonfee snce, urges upon them the sx- e7cise of common sense, he may recog- nize that it too often fails to display itself under such circumstances, but 1t is nevertheless an appeal that meets the situation and one that is in accord with public demand
 Too infrequently is it the case that the interests of the public are given con sideration. Too seldom is it realized that there Is a duty to be rendered to that great class of consumers which Is affected in more than one way
 It may not be possible to reach a. set HS."snt through such a conference. Pos s5iy tne miners and the operators would be as far aeart after they had heard and studied the propositions of the other side but there would be the advantage ns having it placed before the public that efforts had been made t1 avoid the undesirable features tha, wiih a strike. For those that refuse to nave anything to do with a conference there cannot fsA to be a feeling thai Iher have faile! D respond to a duty, While it is fully realized that noth- ing might come from conferenee there is no certainty that all that is sought wiH Dc obtained by a strike and it is known what disadvantages and losses arc bound tb accrue to the miners, tho C. crates and the puDlic while the forcsful methods is being tried out Thus does the secretary of labor do well in laying emphasis u~on the exercise Of common sense in connection Tith the ealing of a conference to reach an agreement concerning coal produc- ion.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Marked contrast is being shoEn in the sentiment disr!ayed toward bill now before the New York legislature calling for the appropriation of a mil- lion dollars by the state for the aid of disabled veterans, and the proposal be- fore congress seeking the distrinution of a bonus that may run to five billion dollars or moro to the able bodied vet eraFs of the world war.
 It makes little difference what Is be- ing urge in behalf of those who shew the sacrifices they have gone through for their country, provided it IS proper there is a feeling that it should bs pro- vidsd. That is why there is such strong sentiment for it in New York state and why 1t is being advocated by the gov ernor. There is no hesitation in saying that it is the proper thing to do as long as there is believed to be the need for 1t over and above what the federal gov ernment is doing. It is possible to re- gard the state undertaking as a mean, of filling in on the service which tho government is extending and betterins all the time II is an opportunity t( render aid to those who have nadt tit'-lIlSElNCSe HeIpleSS or QeDeHden1 through the service they have perform cd and for that reason it cannot fail tt | ap9eaL The government isn't goir!g .t see these men neglected but the feelin- l of any state can be appreciated when i | feels called upon 10 aid in speeding III l such service.

DEALING WITH ALASKA.

Some idea of the sources that re- main untanped in Alaskan territory can be gained from the reference that has been made to the fact that they might be utilized for the purpose of providing the funds for some of the billion dol lar projects that have been advocated. That Alaska is a treasure house there IS no denying. It holds a vast amount lf wealth which is bound to be source 'f relief for great many years to come in meeting the constantly increasing. reeds of ti1is country.

USING STALE BREAD

There need be no waste of stale bread Fer bread that is not allowed to become noldy may be used in a variety of ways, d1scar ding only the brown crusts and these are sometimes dried crushed ana used in griddie cakes. Small bits. Of left over bread slices that have become too dry for use as toast, croutons and such like, should be dried in the warming oven. covered with a piece of cheese cloth to protect it from dust, then passed through a meat chopper and stfted. The fine crumbs are used for crumb- ling croquettes outlets etc, and the coarse crumbs for the top of au gratin dishes. Such crumbs should be stored in glass jars and they will keep a long time if placed in a cool dry place.

i coLoRED MATS FOR THE TABLE

In these days of clothless tables, when lace and linen mats are uniyer- sal a variation from the conventional white often goes a long way towards the decoration Of a table.
 One woman with artistic ideas who has several sets of mats and table centres in different colorings with which she rings the changes from day to day. Her dinner service Is white with a
 gold line, and this looks very effective against orange, butcher blue or gold en yellow linen mats and the round tab1e-centres to match. The gay con- { trast to the dark oak table can be imagined. @, I Half yard of linen is enough for a centre, either round or straight strip and at least half a dozen plate-naats The edges might be scalloped with ad- vantage, and closely button -holestitch Ted all round with linen thread of the same color. 1 Mats to match the china are a pret- 1 ty idea Where it Is white and green

FIeHmNG THE MoTHa.

When reference is made to the fact
 that there is a rapid spread of gypsy
 and browntah moths in the Connnecti- cut valley it is only what ig to be an
 ticipated in the case of these pests un- less they meet with more than a passive
 resistance. It is their nature to cover
 much territory and 1t is because of that
 inclination that only prompt and thor
 ough measures for checking them can
 amount to much.
 Organized efforts made for the pur- pose of getting rid of these pests have unquestionahly done much to retard the
 Expectations. They have exterTninated
 great numbers of them In various forms and through different agencies. but 1t is
 when there is letting np In this resist-
 snce that the pests spring ahead and not only cause widsrread devastation
 in sections where they have been fought
 but spread to others with nothing but the same object tn uew. '
 Give the gycsy or the hro~rtail
 moths an inch and they will take a mile. Even under strong opposition they manage to propagate and add to
 the forces that are working for the de- struction of vegetation. Those who
 have had experience with them know full well what can be expected unless there is firm and persistent fight main tained against them.
 There is no community but what should be anxious to prevent these
 moths from getting strangle hold with
 in its limits. Those that have them are
 duty bound to fight them for their own protection as we'll as to prevent them from moving on to others. It is mat
 ter which calls for general action. Well organized forces can do much in de- stroying the eggs, and that is where ] the most efficient service in combatting the pests can be rendered. With every
 one taking a hand the work is reduced to minimurn Where the burden rests on few and some inclined to show nc 1 opposition but giving Encouragement i through failure to resist the task is mapifestly greater and decidedly bur 1 densome. Pests spring up almost over i night to destroy but nothing but ever
 lasting vigilance will keep pace with | them.

BLACK AND WHITE HATS

Elaborate preparations are being made in the millinery trade to meet the return to vogue for black and white effects that is so widely pre- dicted. Prominent among the mater ials used in the leading lines are mi Ian braids in both dull and shiny ef- fects. Hemp and faircloth also are made use of for the same combina- tfon. Most of the trimmings are of the tailored variety, with ribbon play ing a prominent part Both belting and satin lacquered ribbons are employed being twisted into fans and cochades are tied in widespread bows. Black and white striped ribbons, naturally, are much in vogue for the purpose Other trimmings consist of highly lac quered cherries, wings, birds, feather faneies and pompoms.

SUGGESTIONS FOR

HE HOOSEWIFE E Add dates to the oatmeal cookies.
 Add halved marshmallows to the fruit salad.
 Grated cheese is an addition to on- ion soup.
 A pinch of mace adds flavor to cream of beet, spinach or letture soup. Only stewed fruit should be given to the child under two years of age.
 To procure soft, rich shade when dyeing, add one package of black dye to a package of the color desired. Roll leftover scraps of pie crust and bake in small fancy rno1ds. They are nice for serving creamed vege- table or a salad. Add a quarter of a teaspoon Of bak- ing powder to the mashed potatoes while you are beating them and they will be much lighter and fluffier than otherwise.
 In buying broadcfoths be sure to get one with an open weave. It will be more sanitary and will dry in much less time than the other sort. Even though you do not use a great quantity of soap it is best to buy quite a number of bars at a time and put 1t away to harden. Thus it lasts long CT than if it is used as soon as it comes from the shop.
 Honey should be kept in dark place if it is to be kept without gran ulattng.
 Orange or peach stains can be rs- moved most easily with cold water Wet the spot in cold water and ther rub cream of tartar over 1t Put 1T the sun to dry. When washing delicate china ol glassware just fold a thick turkish tow el and place it in the bottom of the dish pan. This prevents many chip

Beautiful plain color, striped and checked flannels are used for all kinds of spring and summer sports apparel. There Is certainly a freshness about these flannels that is pleasing. Many sports skirts are developed from the striped fabrics and a popular finish for the bottom of the skirt is self fringe-that is, the material is simly raveled to form a fringe and the edge overstitched or whipped with fine thread so that it will not continue to fray and ravel. Sometimes a .slip-over sn4ock or a little coat matching the stripe will accompany the skirt. mak- ing up a clever little sports suit.

TO CLEAN NAMING

Sweep with a broom previously wet with hot Water then go over it with a piece of flannel or a sponge wet with salt and water. Salt freshens the color and prevents the mating from turn ing yellow. Dry quickly with another cloth before the water soaI1s in. Borax may be used instead of salt. In this case go over it with cloth slightly Imoistened in fresh milk This gives a gloss and freshens the color.
