My Neighbor Says:

Save all the paper bags in
which bread and dry groceries
are delivered and use them as
gloves to slip on if you have to
poke the fire or put on more
coal when making cakes or
pastry.
To remove finger marks on a
highly polished piano, wipe
with a cloth wet in p1,re cold
water, then wipe dry. This re-
stores the new look at once.
To beat the whites of eggs
quickly, put in a. pinch of salt.
The cooler the eggs the quicker
they will froth.
An easy way to clean bottIes
with small necks is to cbon a
potato into small pieces. Put
the bits of potato into the bot
tie with warm water and shake
vigorously up and down. When
the glass begins to shine re-
move potato and rinse several
times with cold water.
When making vegetable
and meat stew be sure to put
a layer OF vegetables below the
meat as well as above it. This
prevents the meat from boiling
hard and gives it a much better
flavor.
Beeswax polish is splendid
for linoleum. Scrape two ounces
of beeswax and one ounce of
yellow soap into a porcelain
lined kettle and cover with tur-
pentine. Place the kettle at
the side of the fire until the

whore the weaving Is done by hand,
the fiber is made up into very fine
and beautiful fabrics.
Linen and cotton are both noted
for their laundering qualities. They
can stand rubbing and boiling with
less injury than any other fabrics.
Because the fibers have such different
characteristics, 1t Is always interest
ing to compare them for their rela-
tive properties. For instance, in
their absorptive powers, cotton and
linen differ greatly Linen absorbs
moisture very quickly, and dries
readily. This quality is what makes
it especially desirable for towels,
handk erchiefs and summer under
wear While cotton naturally absorbs
moisture quickly. too. 1t does not
dry so rapidly as linen; for that
reason 1t is apt to feel cold and
clammy to the touch, and does not
make so good a choice for towels
and handk erchiefs.
Linen is least satisfactory when
dyed. Mercerized cotton not only
takes dye better, but the colors are
more lasting than in plain cotton.
Linen makes the coolest" garment
because, owing to the composition OF
the fibers, 1t allows the heat to pass
off from the body readily. Such a
fiber is said to be a good conductor
of heat" and linen is the best con-
ductor among textiles. Cotton ranks
next.

The Small Table.

The small table has . very distinct
and valuable place in the economy of
house furnishing. Unless you have
considered the matter carefully you
cannot realize how much more con-
venient a room Is in which there are
enough tables than a room in which
there are not enough. OF course, In
the living room big table about
which the whole family can gather
Is sometimes most homelike and COM
Portable. But even SO, a couple of
small tables add to the general COM
fort OF the room. And In some rooms
several small tables and no big ones
Is the best arrangement.
This does not mean that you need
wonderful furniture heirlooms I'm the
way of old mahogany tables, nor that
you need much money. There are
plenty of inexpensive modern tables
to be had.
For one thing, there are unpainted
wooden tables which you yourself
can paint--foilowing the advice OF
the man who sells you the paint, ii
you don't know anything about the

and SO typical of the pleasures and

According to the size of the store
and. consequently the size OF the de-
rartment, different divisions are
made in different stores. In one de-
partment is the table linen. In the
fancy linen section are the art

other corner of the store will be the
toilet linen--towels, large and small,

In tho bed linen department are
sheets and pillowcases. and at still
another counter cou1terpanos and
bedspreads. In the yard goods are
alI the varieties Of materials from
the cheap cotton to the most costly
dress linens.
Materials in large variety are
found in the cotton goods depart
ment, ranging from coarse fabrics
the very sheer. Usually the classi-
fication is something like this: Do
mestics, made in the United States;
imported white goods, dress goods,
Innings, fiannels and comfortables-
Cotton is the most important vegc-
table fiber, as 1t makes the cheapest
and most useful or all textile ma
terials. Flax, which is used in
making linen, comes from the stalk
of the fax plant. But some of the
cheaper merchandise In the cotton
and linen departments is made en-

besides cotton or linen.
Ramie, or '-ramie linen" Is made
from hardy shrub that grows prin-
cipally. in China and India. 1t has
much the appearance of linen, but
with a higher 1uster. 1t may be used
for the same purposes as linen, such
as dress goods, underwear, table,
cloths, toweling, upholstery, and in
the manufacture of hosiery and knit
goods. 1t is exceptionally white in
color, being almost as white as
bleached cotton.
Fannie is good for some purposes
but ft is not SO flexible as cotton.
Consequently 1t makes a harsher
fabric. Then, too, as it is. difficult to
spin to a fine s'count,' you usually

co6fse weave. In China ana India.

Sleeveless Coat OF Gown Material
ny ANNE RrTrENHoUsE.

French designers have been playing
with the idea of the sleeveless jacket
for several years, and often they
seemed to be playing at the game
without much of an audience. For
women. especially American women,
have not shown especial enthusiasm.
Apparently their idea is that If it is
cold enough to need to wear a jacket
at all it is cold enough to need to
wear a jacket with sleeves. and If 1t
is warm enough to go sleeveless, then
why in the name of fashions old or
new should one bother with Jacket.
Really the idea is not a new one
at all. Dabble back into the Co.'S
tumery of the days Of Henry VIII
and his wives, or Francis !, or
Henry of Navarro. and other kings
who wore velvet hats with curling
ostrich plumes and strutted about
in doublet and hose, and you VIII
find sleeveless coats aplenty. They
were worn over bodices that them
selves were provided with sleeves
long and warm. OFTEN they went on
velvet. richly puffed and slashed.
over which the task of drawing any
sleeve would have been difficult. The
cape or the sleeveless jacket were
the only answers to the question.
So today it is the long, tight
sleeved frock that has drawn unto
itself the sleeveless jacket, which is
usually made with extended or
draped shoulders so as to give them
warmth needed. The French dress
makers this winter have been max
ing afternoon frocks of this descrip-
tion-frock5 that women wear to
receptions and weddings.
Whether or not the sleeveless
Jacket will have any place in the
spring fashions is a question that
las been asked by many. So far 1t
has not won out as part of the
spring suit. Probably it will not this
year, save for the rather exceptional
formal suit. With the coming of
spring, however, women are now
willing enough to discard any sort
of wrap in favor of the one piece
frock for more formal wear.

By Bernarr MacFadden,

1t has often been said that 1t is
better to wear out than rust out.
The great truth is that one viii rust
out more quickly than one will wear
out.
A state of activity is the normal
characteristic of youth. Inactivity
is characteristic of extreme old
age. This is true in all forms OF
animal life. The old dog, worn
out and stiffened. seems as little dis
posed TO the healthy activity OF his
early years as the old gentleman who
has made up his mind that he Is old
and who does little but sit around
and occupy space.
One may even say that just as soon
as one discontinues the activities of
life one rapidly becomes old. The
only way in which you can remain
young in spite of the years is by
keeping up the activity that In char

all physical activity will necessarily
bring about rapid degeneration.
Apart from exercises OF q system
attic nature, all kinds OF outdoor
recreations and occupations will be
of infinite value. Gardening affords
the most delightful possibilities in
the way Of interesting and beneficial
activity. and there are many farm
duties which exactly fit the status of
men who are no longer capable of
violent exertion, but who are still
able to do useful and valuable work.
Woodcutting with ak or saw can
sometimes be recommended.

accustomed to enjoy, cross-country
walks and wood chopping. In a
general way, however, violent exer-
cises are not appropriate for men
much past middle age. Anything that
Is too strenuous or violent may result
in strain at any time of life, but Is
more likely to do SO after one passes
the age of sixty or seventy. it is
true this will depend partly upon
whether or not one has been accus-
toned to physical exertion of siren
uous nature all ones life. A man
accustomed all his life to athletics
will find himself capable Of with

This willingness to run risks
is emphatically revealed in his
first full-length comedy, "Rac-
ing Luck" wherein the fun at.
tains it's greatest climax when
Monty, as an impromptu racing
driver, who hardly knows which
end of the car is which, under
takes to compete in a road race
with some of the country's great
est drivers. To add to his com.
plications and troubles, his car
runs away and he can't stop it,
but in spite Of these handicaps
and with a treacherous mechani.
clan to boot, Monty manages to
win the race. Not all the thrills
in the picture, however, were
achieved by camera trickery.
There are several scenes in which
Monty afterward confessed that
he didn't know whether he'd live
long enough tO become q star
or not.
