Why are so many nice young people

particularly sweets. ice cream phan-

bit of it regularly about half an hour

Answer-Shaving in the ordinary
way is always less irritating than
chemical shaving. A small safety
razor is especially made for the pur-
pose. Shaving with the razor prob
ably does increase the liability to
infection and abscess in the armpit.

for flowers. Very often a bowl of
flowers is shown off against a broken
background of lamp, books, pictures
or other ornaments. By placing the
blossoms directly against a neutral
wall of soft plaster. paint or wall
paper their full color effect can be
secured to the best advantage An
other thing, this vase of flowers used
as d wall decoration is welcome
variation from the framed pictures,
mirrors and other accustomed arti-
cles hung in our rooms.
There are several forms Of the
hanging vase. The one shown in
our sketch is Of painted tin, with a
black background and a simple
flower unit in soft tones that will
not fight with any of the posies that
may fill the vase. This tin basket is
fiat at the back, where it rests
against the wall, and rounding in
front It's tall handle is of tin and
the whole vase goes fiat against the
wall. 1t is very lovely in the simple
wall panel of a room where rough
plaster in a mellow cream color gives
perfect setting
Cornucopia-s shaped vases in pottery
may be had for hanging on the
porch or in the sunroom. These are
pretty when hung at the side of a
window or in an angle where the
fiat backed vase would not fit. Be-
ware of using too many hanging
vases, however. They can very easily
be overdone and so lose their deco
rative value altogether.

Ny Neighbor Says:

To remove white spots from
vanished furniture, hold a hot
stove lid or plate over them un-
til they disappear.
Take a candle by the wick
and give it a coating of white
varnish, then put it away to dry
for a couple of days. When
lighted. the varnish prevents
the grease from running down
the side, and the candle will
last twice as long.
In arranging a sitting room,
large spaces left empty look
more comfortable and are more
convenient in every way than
a room too full of furniture. A
home is not a furniture ware
room, but a place for people to
live in and to grow in and to
move about in.
Never scrape enameled ware,
because the>coating will be apt
to chip and then the vessel will
be unf1t for use. If food burns
on the bottom of pots of this
kind, put a small lump of COM
mon soda into it with hot water
and boil until the food dislodges
about fifteen minutes. If the
burned food still sticks, the pot
may be secured with fine sand.
Enameled ware will be protect
ed IL the bottom is rubbed
thickly with soap (the outside,
of course) before being put over
the flame of a coal stove.
A too rapid boiling ruins the
favor OF any sauce. 1t must
boil up once, but should merely
simmer afterward.

Homeopathic Way to Reduce.

In reply to a perennial query which
I am glad to note is becoming rarer
every year. 7 am not an allopath.
There is no such school of practice
and there never has been. Now wait.
I do not deny that many doctors
have been dubbed "allopaths" by col
leagues who had wandered off the
regular road on to other paths
Look in the dictionary and see what
aIlopathy means and who invented
the epithet and why. Then you will
understand that I merely state fact

school and never has been.

A Big Bark.

The most terrible" coughs usual,
come from the least serious condi.
tions. I'll never forget the cough
which Billy had Billy was about the
busiest young man in the most un-
hurried town in the state, a youth
of just the right age, Temperament,
and complexion to make a fine sub
ject of tuberculosis. He called his
cough an elephant cough and il
sounded that way. Frightful. every
body declared, and he ought to do
something about it. 1t got on his
nerves, especially the women folk
who kept constantly warning him
about his terrible cough. So he tried
a few bottles of the cough medicine
which happened to be featured by the
neighborhood druggist at the time
and finally visited the doctor. in a
great hurry and couldn't take time
to undergo an examination. So the
cough medicine which happened to be
featured by the physicians supply
house at the time, and Billy kept
right on coughing terribly and fright
little, until finally one day the doctor
caught him in a lull of business and
made him peel his shirt, and went
over his lungs with great care and
of any kind.
Great mystery, that cough. Well.
presently the spring moderated some

his ears. Next morning he couldn't
hear clbarly and visited the doctor
again. There's little more to tell as
covered large hardened masses of
wax in the ears, and also discovered
the source of the elephant cough. for
the slightest touch of the wall of the
great pneumogastric nerve is distrib-
uted brought on sudden coughing &
spell every time. That nerve is the
main nerve to the lungs and bron-
chial tubes.
When the plugs of cerumen were
removed. Billy quit coughing, much to
the disappointment of all his good
woman customers, who were working
up sure cures for him.
That would be called reflex cough"
Still. the ear is really part of the re-
spiratory tract, so it is not very re-
markable that irritation even in the
outer ear canal should induce cough.
Cough is sometimes a misleading
symptom in acute antral Sinusitis, a
slow, hacking. annoyingly persistent
cough, which might readily draw sus-
picion upon the innocent bronchial
tubes or lungs.
Children who begin to bark and
cough after they have gone to bed
at night are commonly uttering a de-
mand for the removal of adenoids
And great many cases of alleged
acute bronchitis in children are in
reality merely acute Inflammation of
the lymphoid tissue in the roof of the

An infant or child is likely to cough
considerably when lying down, par
ticularly lying on the back, in simple

nicioos but still a popular practice in
some households.

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Gen1ini.

UGm1u.
During the early part Of the day
the aspects are rather adverse and
favor only the prosecution of regular
duties and routine work. After mid
day they show a considerable i'm
provement and encourage new and
aggressive efforts, especially along
educational and political lines. They
do not warrant the initiation of any
radical business policy, and specula-
tion and risk should be avoided.
a child born today will be blessed
with rugged health and a vigorous
constitution. 1t will never adapt it
self TO the narrow confines of indoor
life, and will only develop to the best
advantage if allowed the blessings of
the great outdoors" 1t will show a
keen appreciation of the beauties of
nature. and its education should ra-
ther be along these lines than those
of the ordinary student.
If today is your birthday, you are
more intelligent than the average
man or woman. but often fail in ap-
plying your intelligence to useful pur-
pose, owing to lack of personality.
You have good disposition, but
often mar II by unreasonable out
bursts of temper.
y
around with us. temper is the easiest
to lose and the hardest to find again {;
and when found, it is like a lost
pocket knif-rarely in as good con-
dition as when we lost it. The chief
difficulty about temper is that, when
one person, loses it. somebody else
usually finds it and sometimes hands
it back to US.
In your business a triviality will
needlessly aggravate you. and, more
often than not, cause anger and loss
of equilibrium, so essential to success.
In your home life the little worries
incidental to all domestic circles,
which are generally met with a smile
or a shrug of the shoulders, only
serve to arouse in you bad temper.
Some people. when they lose their
tempers. count one hundred before
saying anything. Others, when they
lose their tempers, have already said
one hundred things before they dis
cover it's absence and then work over
time, lest the job be not finished be-
fore it returns.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Joshua Humphreys, ship
builder; Samuel Williston, philan-
thropist; David Ames Wells, econo-
mist; George H. Babcock, engineer
and inventor; Charles F'rohman, the
atricaI manager; Edward Berwind,
financier.
