GKEEk KIING IN LUNDUN
 Ex-King George, of Greece, has completed his Parisian visit, and is now enjoying himself in London in cognito. This incognito is respected although many recognized him as he paused in front of Carriages, where the photo was taken. His wife, Queen Elizabeth, will join him in a few days.

coIors Retained.

All are familiar with the old rule of
putting salt in the water to prevent
clothes from fading, but have you ever
tried putting a very little pepper into
the first suds in which clothes are
washed? This tends to keep the colors
from running, says the Pictorial Re
view. Many delicate colors, especially
pinks, layenders and blues, are bound
to fade more or less each time they
are washed. If you dissolve a little
dye in the last rinsing water, you'll
find that their color will be retained
1t is necessary, Of course, to use the
dye each time the dresses are laun-
dered. If you, are washing anything
green, little alum dissolved in the
rinsing water will usually prevent its
fading And when laundering sheer
white dresses. have you ever tried
putting a small piece of gum arabic
In the rinsing water? 1t gives the ma
terial a fresh crispness.

For the Housewife.

To remove hot water marks on pol

paste of salad oil and salt, leave it
on the marks for an hour, then polish
with a dry cloth.
To clean bottles fill them with
scraps of torn newspaper and little
soapsuds, shake vigorously till the pa
per is dissolved to a pulpy mass and
rinse thoroughly. You win be sur

I'll ai1nder chintz

The housewife whose house is filled
with dainty chintz draperies and COW
'ers finds that each time her ehintz
is washed Its designs become a bit
lighter, until they are so faint as to
be almost indistinguishable.
This fading is due to the wav the
chintzes are laundered. The Chintz
should be soaked In cold water. made
briny with plenty of salt and vinegar.
When the brine has thoroughly pen
etrated through the goods little hot
water should be run into the tub. not
enough to make the tub full of warm
water, just enough to make it tepid
The washing should not be done
with a very strong acid soap-in fact,
a soft soap is preferable.
When the chintz is hung up TO dry
care should be taken that it is hung
in the shade.
When not quite dry it should be TAX
en- down and ironed from the wrong
side.
The great thing IN preserving the
.colors of chintz is not to let heat
come in contact with the right side Of
the goods.
OF course the irons will have to be
fairly hot in order that the ehintx
may look fresh and without wrinkles,
but this heat should be applied to the
wrong side of the goods.

Exercise for Muscle and Brain.

Muscle and brain should both be
subjected to proper development. If
q person uses or trains one of these
and negIects the other. as is often
the case with gymnasts, especially
those who train themselves for physi-
cal feats, we have more or less ono
sided man, whose value in the game
Of life is greatly diminished.
1t is by exercise that any part is
nourished. To produce a well-devel-
oped brain that will think clearly and
see things as they are, this organ
must receive exercise in a great
variety of subjects. and it is not
enough to train it in mathematics, in
history, in geography; it must have
a general training in a far wider field.
But the work done by the brain should
not be exhaustive. so as to weaken the
organ, or recuperation will be slow,
and in this lowered state mental dis
ease may gain hold, which would
not otherwise be the case. An over
worked brain can never see things
correctly, or think vigorously, nor can
an underworked one.
SO with the muscular system EX-
ercise in actual work. or in youth in
natural sport, or both, produces The
most natural growth. Gynnastic train
ing in the, school life is also useful,
but all excessive training produces
evil results.
Other things being equal, the best
bodies are those in which both mus
Gle and brain have had their due
! share of exercise in early life, so that
a harmony has been established be-
| tween them that will not easily be
destroyed by the many vicisitudes OF
an active life, especially If that life be
guided by wise regard for the laws
controlling health, for they preserve
it from most of the evil influences of
life's environment.

Making the
Home Comfy
Beauty and Habit.

1t is impossible to be beautiful with
out being healthy. Health is the foun-
dation of beauty. Ii one wants to be
really beautiful the beauty must be
more than skin deep. The trouble
with most people is that they are
quite satisfied with beauty that is
superficial enough to deceive the on
locker. Beauty includes yigor and
efficiency.
To be really beautiful ono must
have, not only beautiful face, but
beautiful hands as well; not simply
q good complexion for the face, but
q good complexion all over. Not in
frequently persons body is covered
with pimples. With such blemishes
on the face one would feel very
badly, but so long as they are out
of sight, they are not regarded.
However, they mean that the whole
body Is in state Of uncleanliness,
and of low resistance because of this
uncleanliness.
The only way to be really beautiful
Is to live beautifully, to live rightly
That means to live naturally. For
example, II one is aiming to be beau
tiful, one must eat beautiful things,
because our bodies are made of what
we eat. If one eats corpsos, how can
one expect to be beautiful? But IL
one eats the beautiful fruits and nuts
that are hung from the trees, in
.viting us to reach up and partake-
II one eats these and other natural
foods that nature has prepared for
us, that are all pure and sweet and
good and clean, then one may have
normal clean blood, and the result of
good, clean blood will be clear skin
and good complexion. A lady once
asked the writer what was good for
her complexion. and we told her oat-
meal. She said. "Do you mean rub it
on?" eyes, we said, "rub It on, and
rub 1t in-swallow IT.. Fl. Kellogg.

Notes and
Comment
Of Interest to Women Readers
A HAPPY MIND.

T There is no greater everyday virtue
than cheerfuIness. This quality in
man among men is like sunshine to
the day, or gentle, renewing moisture
to parched herbs. The light of a
cheerful face diffuses itself and com
municates the happy spirit that in
spires it. The sourest temper must
sweeten in the atmosphere of contin-
uous good humor As well might fog
and cloud and vapor hope to cling to
the sun-illuminated landscape, as the
blues and moroseness to combat joyial
speech and exhiIarating laughter Be
cheerful always. There is no path but
will be easier travelled. no load hut
will be lighter, no shadow on heart
or brain but will lift sooner in the
presence of a determined cheerful
ness. It may at times seem difficult
for the happiest tempered to keep the
countenance of peace and content;
but the difficulty will vanish when we
truly consider the sullen gloom and
passionate despair do nothing but
kllO1u6 anu NLANhGll bCAAON D.
Iii comes to us providentially as good
and is a good, If we rightly apply its
lessons. Why not, then, cheerfully &C
cept the i'll, and thus blunt its appar-
ent sting? Cheerfulness ought to be
the fruit of philosophy and of Chris
tianity What is gained by peeVish-
ness and fretfulness-by peryerse sad
ness and sullenness? II we are Ill, let
us be cheered by hopeful visions of
better fortune; If death robs us of the
dear ones, let us be cheered by the
thought that they are only gone before
to the blissful bowers where we shall
all meet, to part no more forever.
Cultivate cheerfulness, If only for per-
sonal profit You will do and bear ev-
cry duty and burden better by being
cheerful 1t will be your consider in
solitude, your passport and common
Gator in society You will be more
sought after, more trusted and es-
teemed for your steady cheerfulness.
The bad, the vicious, may be bolster
ously gay and vulgarly humorous, but
seldom or never truly cheerful. Cen
uine cheerfulness is an almost certain
index of happy mind and pure,
good heart.

Rule BY Fear.

"One of the tragic injustices of
which a great multitude of parents
are guilty even In this age, Is the
bending of children to their will
through the power of fear. There is
a large class Of parents who are pos
itiyely brutal with their little ones.
Instead of using reason with child.
instead of being self-controlled and
patient Gas a gardener of fine plants
must be- they plant dread in the plas-
tic mind, and though they may not
know it, these nervous shocks in early
life account for many~a mental wreck
In later years" So writes John Mich
elias Beffel in The Mothers Magazine
Continuing he declares:
"a child quickly comes to under
stand reason, if reason is applied. He
is keenly receptive to truths, and to
right ways of doing things. He de-
serves to have mysteries explained to
him. He is entitled to legitimate rea-
sons when he is told that he must not
do certain things. 1t is unfair to Insist
that he must not commit some act
solely because papa tells you not to-
1.-THE child should be taught not to
be afraid. He should be given a
chance to learn what the darkness
means, and to learn that there Is
little to fear in the dark. Ghosts
stories have worked irreparable harm
to children for many generations.

sIeen for Looks.

Sleep is one of the best known pre-
servatives of youth and every woman
should get as much of it as possible.
A short nap after meals is an excel
lent thing. Take it, If you have time
to lie down only fifteen minutes.
On getting up you will feel COM
posed and in readiness for any tasks
that may await you.
Many women think they cannot af-
ford to rest for few moments, yet in
the end this rest pays.
Regular hours are the best of helps
to keeping ones youth and good looks.
Make it your business to get to bed
at a seasonable hour every night and
try to keep this hour the same.
Early rising viii enable you to make
up for the hours given TO sleep at
night.
If you are troubled by sleeplessness
undress 1eisurely, brush the hair. mas
sage the scalp little and battle the
face and eyes with warm water.
Then stand before an open window
In heavy dressing gown and take
few deep breaths.
Lastly drink cup of hot milk and
then get into bed. stretch the body out
relax, and think only of something
pleasant. Sleep should not be long
in coming.

Household
Hints
Breathing Exercise.

Creating exercises are Of great val
ne, most easily praeticed, and give ex-
cellent results. It IS not necessary 70
have an elaborate system. The nos-
trils are the proper organs for breath
ing Man. unlike some other animals,
Is capable Of breathing through the
mouth il the nostrils are INSTRUCTED,
and many from habit or debility con
tinually do so-a practice, whether by
day or sby night, attended with many
evils, whereas every breath of air a
man inhales through his nostrils is
a breath of life
One exercise. repeated fifty or a
hundred times a day, requiring no
more than ten minutes all together,
is of the greatest advantage, and can
be done out-of-doors as well as In. at
almost any season of the year. It con-
sists of inhaling through the nostrils
a deep breath, retaining it few sec.
onds, and then, with the lips adjusted
as If one intended to whistle, expeIIing
it slowly through the contracted orr
fee. There is no physiological objec-
ton to exhaling through the mouth;
there are no muscles whereby the
course of the breath can be restrained
through the nostrils; but the lips con
tain sufficient muscular strength for
this purpose. If students would rise
from their studies, bookkeepers from
their desks. women from their SEWN
or reading, two or three times a days
and take from fifteen to thirty such
breaths. the result would surprise
them.

Postoffice Name Changed.

In 1908 when the Wisconsin
eight hour law for railroad station
men went into effect, the North
western railway, which maintained
a station at State Line, Wiscon-
sin, moved the depot few feet
north, and evaded the Wisconsin
law by having the station in Mich
igan. Since then the station has
been State Line, Michigan, >and
the post office has been State
Line, Wisconsin. Because of the
confusion that resulted because
of another R. r. office of the same
name, the name of this particular
State Line P. o., has been changed
to Land O Lakes, Wis, The little
town with two names is about as
big as Belle PLANE. Lee Bruce,
now operator at Eland, was once
station agent at State Line, and
Dale Hickok of the Journal force
lived there three years ago when
employed by a numbering concern
which operated north of the town.

FIRST CAR OVER ROAD
Traffic Opened From Chica-
go to North Woods by the
Fredrickson Party.

AS usual the first car to arrive
from Chicago to Eagle River after
the spring breakup was that of
the Fredrickson boys, it having
been their hobby for several
springs to- beat it for the Big
Woods as soon as a glimmer of an
opening appeared in the highways
from the windy city to the north
land. Usually it has been George
Fredrickson and his brother Swede
who broke the trail, but this year
George hoped RATHER and came
ahead by a week.
Swede and Mike Fredrickson,
accompanied by Messrs. Larson
and Thompson started at eight
o'clock Friday evening from Chi
cago. They arrived in Eagle River
at five Saturday afternoon, and
made the distance without any
rnishaps. They struck mammoth
snow drifts on highway AT be-
tween Shawano and Amigo while
coming through the Indian reser-
walton, but managed to get
through by some pushing. The
boys will spend the week at the
Fredrickson home on the river be-
low the Otter Rapids power DAM,
expecting to start back Saturday
some time.
The next car to come through
was the Carter Essex from Mil
waukee, which was driven by Ed.
Cannon. This car arrived Sunday
morning, having been seventeen
hours on the road. Dave Seward
and son followed from Milwaukee
with REQ speed wagon, and made
about the same time. The roads
while not impossible are just about
ready to collapse in many spots,
due to the frost coming out.
Monday afternoon it took the
Ford truck driven by Chas. Rush
two hours to make Phelps from
Eagle River. Sam Burnett of
Wausau drove the eighty-odd
miles from that city to Eagle
River Monday making that dis
lance in about eight hours. Some
places the macadam highways, es-
pecially between Merrill and Wau-
sau, were about bottomless. Sew
eral whose cars are now down
state expected to get them up this
week, but have given it up as a
bad job and will wait until the
weather settles. The sleet storm
of Monday night and yesterday
has placed the roads in very bad
condition, and mighty little traffic
is going on right now.

Show at Coliseum.

At a meeting of business men
and resort men in Three Lakes
last Friday afternoon, booth, or
possibly two booths were engaged
at the Outdoor Show to be held
in the Coliseum in Chicago May
1917 for the purpose of exploit
ing the recreational and business
possibilities of this section of the
lake region. With Three Lakes
going in the big show, that will
now give the Northern Wiscon-
sin Lake Region" a mammoth dis
play, and will be the largest of
any shown at the National Out
door Show in that city. Let's go?
