THE MEDICINE.
CABINET
by Loretto c. Lynch

An Acknowledged Expert in All
Matters Appertaining to House
hold Management.
I'm the past week, there has
come to my notice no less
= than five cases Of needless
death because Of bad manage
ment as to the medicine cabinet.
In one case, a woman trusted
her prescription to a country
druggist. He misread the pre-
scription and put in poison. The
woman took one dose Of the
medicine and realized that she
was poisoned. But-there was
nothing in that home that could
be given as an antidote. Mustard
in hot water would have induced
vomiting, but - there was no
mustard in that home and by the
time medical aid arrived, she
was dead.
Then there were the cases of
several children who had been
given a dose of a popular disin-
fectant for cough medicine or
something else. In each case the
baby was too young to tell and
death was imminent before medi-
cal aid was sought.
It is too bad that in spite Of
advice, we still read of these
needless deaths, generally trace
able to just plain bad house
keeping. If a poisonous disin-
fectant must be in the house,
do not place it in the medicine
cabinet with. the other medicines.
Lacking a strictly up-to-date
medicine chest with small COM
partment with separate lock and
key, for poisons, at least have a
small hinged box and put a. pad
lock on it. Then the very fact
that you must unlock the pad
lock will tend to remind even the
most absent-minded that the box
contains poison.
A box of labels already
gummed may be purchased for
nickel. Hand-print in jet-black
ink the name of the contents Of
each and every bottle no matter
how evident it is to you what the
bottle contains. For you will be
i'll and it may be some total
stranger who comes in to get
something from your medicine
cabinet to aid you.
The thing is-have a fair sup
ply of needfuls in your cabinet
and have everything labeled
clearly. Lock up poisons. Do Il
today!

YOUR BEAUTY
PRACTICAL ARTICLES or REAL YALuE

1t is all 20 simple-and so easy.
She has been careful to cleanse
her ears each day in the proper
way. This really il an important
point to remember, although such
a suggestion from me will bring a
smile, for it will remind you Of
the advice given you in your little
girl days.
To soak your ears with SOAP
suds and then half dry them IL
not only fatal to their beauty, but
may lead to earache, neuritis and
other ills. So wash and rinse them
gently, then dry them gently but
thoroughly inside and out, lest
they redden and roughen as the
result Of chapping.
When you cold cream your face
don't forget to extend the same
treatment to your ears, afterward
removing all trace of the cream.
This will prevent wrinkles, which
50 disfigure the ears of some young
women.
If your ears are in an unhealthy
condition or il you suffer from ear
ache by all means seek the ad-
vice of a specialist. Only when
your ears are in normal health
can you expect them to be beau
tiful
Now and then woman has
trouble with her ears because
they stand out. After maturity
often a plastic operation is
necessary to remedy this defect,
and this is not always advisable.
If the flair of your ears is not
too pronounced the wearing of a
muslin cap tied down over your
ears at night will in time greatly
improve their appearance, and
the best time to try this expert
ment is during the cold winter
nights.
AS the last dainty touch to the
toilette of your ears, dip your
fingers I'm grain alcohol and rub
each lobe gently until it is a
rosy pink. Then you will be
ready to go forth with your hair
arranged with the most extreme
fashionable severity, If 1t be.
comes you that way, and you will
know that you have every reason
to be proud Of your dainty,
pearly ears. Or IL you prefer to
keep them tucked away beneath
your curls, you will be happier
because you know they are
lovely and well cared for.

Mr.. Lizard held out his tiny

Doris put her hand behind her

Both Squeedee and Mr.. Lizard
laughed at the expression on her
face.

''or you wouldn't be afraid of me.

'I'n just bet you anything,
laughed Mr.. Lizard, "there are

but run when they see a little

Now, where live, in the trunk
of that old tree yonder, I don't
often see folks, but somehow I
wandered away from home to-
day."
'Just SO I could become &C.

I'm mighty glad to know you.
Mr.. Lizard" Then she caught
her breath, for Mr.. Lizard. who
had been a lovely green the Sec

dirty brown. "Are you .ill?"
"Of course not" he laughed.
"Oh, see! Because ! turned

the woods. Goodness, no! I'm

without another word Mr.. Lizard
hurried out of sight.
"That's one way they have
of protecting themselves" said
Squeedee. '"They can change
color to match the object they,

Just then Doris aunt called
her, and Doris bid Squeedee good
by and ran back to the house.
