What Today Means to You
Cancer.
by MARY BLAKE.

The advance aspects which prevail
until midday are unchanged later on
and become excellent in character.
In the morning you should concen-
trate your attention on the prepara-
ton of those matters which you
are persuaded will insure success,
and once your mind is made up,
launch them with the confidence born
of the fact that conditions are emil
nently favorable for the ultimate
fruition. Notwithstanding the favor
able vibrations. all unnecessary risk
must be avoided. and only plans of a
fairly conservative-albeit progress
ive-nature must be attempted.
A child born today will require more
than ordinary care and vigilance in
it's babyhood. 1t will be subject,
more than the average child, to ILL
ness and accident. CAREFUL nutrition
will eliminate the dangers of the
avoid the risks of the latter. The
child's disposition will be rather way
ward, and it's character more 'obsti-
nate than plant. The regrettable
features of its disposition can be
remedied by firmness. If proper prin-
ciples be inculcated in its mind. the
obstinacy of it's character will prove
an asset rather than liability.
If today is your birthday. in spite
Of the many intellectual advantages
you enjoy, in spite of an affectionate
disposition, in spite of your persever-
ance, you attain only very little of
all that you desire. because of your
thoughtlessness in the things you say
1t is necessary to control ones
words as well as acts; there are
words that strike even harder than
blows, and men may speak daggerS,
though they use none. The sting1ng
repartee that rises to your. lips, and
which, if uttered, might cover an ad-
yersary with confusion, you find 1t
difficult to repress.
There are words which sever hearts
more than swords do. There are
words, the point of which sting the
heart through the course of a whole
life.
The wise man restraints his desire
to say a smart or severe thing at the
expense of anothers feelings. The
unwise man blurts out what he thinks
and will sacrifice his friend rather
than his joke.
Solomon says 1.-The mouth of wise
man is in his heart: the heart of a
fool is in his mouth"

"Mercerized,"

"Oh, It's just mercerized," per-
haps you exclaim in surprise as you
examine the drapery material on the
counter which you have taken, at
first glance, to be silk.
For mercerized cotton does have
distinctly silklike gloss. This
gloss, being permanent, makes the
cloth much more valuable for many
purposes than ordinary cotton is.
Moreover, mercerization actually in
creases the strength of the material,
making 1t much better wearing. 1t
increases the capacity of the cloth
for holding dye, too.
For all these reasons one should
cotton than for plain cotton. 1t is
costly to produce for two reasons.
First, the process involves expense,
and, second, the quality of cloth
ordinarily used for mercerization is
the best long-staple Sea Island and
Egyptian cotton, since the cheaper
grades of cotton do not merceriZe
well. 1t is said that high-grade
piece of mercerized cotton costs three
times as much to manufacture as an
unmercerized piece does.
But the shopper must be able to
tell with certainty that the cloth
she thinks is 'mercerized" is not
merely calendered, for caIendered
cotton is no more durable than or
binary cotton, and its gloss will come
off in the first laundering. The sim
tion is to wash a sample of the cloth
If the luster "stays" the material is
merceriZed.
Now. mercerization is the process

Return of Buster Brown Collar
BY MARY MARSHALL.

When the comic artist Bob Outcault
originated the amusing and impos-
sibly mischievous little boy that he
called Buster Brown and dressed him
in a suit-then worn by almost every
little boy in the land-consisting of
a pair of breeches, a. belted over
blouse, a wide white collar of the
Eton sort with a black bow tie under
his chin, he little thought that he was
naming a detail of fashion that would
continue to be called by that name
for decades-not only in this country,
but abroad. Thousands of people
have called this collar by that name
without having the vaguest idea that
it had its origin in a popular Sunday
comic strip.
Next to the Peter Pan collar made
famous by James Barrie and Maud
Adams. no collar of American origin
and few fashions of any sort have
gained such wide popularity abroad
as this named Buster Brown.
In the days when Buster was a
real live comic feature, all little boys
used to wear enormous ties like that
and young girls used sometimes to
cover up almost the entire front of
their blouses by enormous tied bows
"a la Buster Brown"
One of the most amusing STYLES
that ever was devised to make pic
lures OF one generation of schoolgirls
look ridiculous in the eyes of another
was the trick of wearing these Bus
ter Brown ties of such extreme size
that they wellnigh covered the en-
tire front of a girls blouse, serving
the while as an anchorage for numer-
Gus class pins, fraternity pins and
other insignia of youthfolk distinc-
tlons. Mothers and older sisters Won
dered where it would lead to- Week
by week these enormous bows grew
more enormous. They dreaded the
time when the entire front of little
daughter or younger sister would be
plaStered with one enormous bow tie.
Then, almost overnight, Buster Brown
ties disappeared entirely. In their
place girls wore lingerie blouses but
toned in the back with the high col
lars edged with ruching.
You can see it all quite plainly and
amusingly in any file of old college
or school year books. One years
class all wore the Buster Brown bow
Next year they have disappeared
never to return again
Never? Well, never is a long word
speaking of any fashion Quite re-
Gently one of the most influential of
French dressmakers has launched a
frock that shows a bow tie under the
chm that strongly reminds one of
those old-time Buster Brown ties
And here is frock, made in America,
of brick-colored crepe finished with a
white Buster Brown collar and a
black Buster Brown tie.

Plezzure and Pane.

Some OF the things that give you
the most pane give other people the
most plezzure. sutch as wen you sit
down on a pin, vile meny things
that give you CRATE plezzure give
other people CRATE pane. for instants
at party wen you are told to sit
down at the place ware the highest
hunk of ice GREEN is. One thing
that gives others a lot OF plezzure
without giving you mutch pane is
having your hat blow off.
Too mutch plezzure is libel to get
paneful sutch as wen you eat all
the candy you wunt to and all OF a
suddin find youserf in the mist of a
fearse stummick axe, vile on the
other hand the more pane you have
the less fun there is in it. Proberly
g neing the reason wy most people
would rather take a chance on hav-
ing too mutch plezzure than too
mulch pane.
Some people get more plezzure out
or telling how mutch pane they have
than wat they get pane out of hav-
ing it.
Nuthing is more paneful than a
tooth axe but nuthing is more pIez-
zant than wen 1t stops jest wen you
ixpect 1T to keep on going. One of
tHe WerSt parts ABOUT having tooth
AXE is that everybody eIts thinks its
kind of funny We would be going
erround laffing all the time il we
injoyed our teeth wen they feel all
rite as mutch as wat we feel bum
wen they axe.
Amung the werld's greatest pIez-
cures is waking up thinking you har
to go to skool and then remember
ing it is vacation, and getting a Ind
helping to your favorite dizzert Wen
you didn't ixpect it and ony asked
out of curiosity.
Among the werlds greatest panes
is waiting for your fletcher to call
on you and ask you questions wen
you haven't studied your homework,
and standing in the middle of a big
candy store and finding out you have
nuthing in your pockit but a hole.

Peter Rabbit Goes LOOKING
for Fun.
Troubles lies in wait to greet
Idle hands and idle feet.
old Mnfhep MAJ,

Peter Rabbit had been out all night
Yes, sir, he had been over in the
Green Forest all night. Now day
light had come and he was still in
the Green Forest 1t would be fool
ish to start across the Green Meadows
for the dear Old Briar Patch in broad
daylight. SO Peter decided to remain
in the Green Forest. Little Mrs. Peter
wouldn't like it. Probably she would
worry. Peter was sorry for that, but
he didn't see any way to help it now.
Truth to tell, Peter was quite willing
to stay in the Green Forest
He went straight ia a certain bram-
BILE tangle and in the middle OF this
he settled himself in comfort He
felt quite as safe there as he would
have felt in the dear Old Briar Patch
He was sleepy, for. as I said before,
he had been out all night. 1t was
very quiet and peaceful there and he
was soon fast asleep. When later in
the day he awoke he still felt hazy
and was quite satisfied to remain
where he was. But along about the
middle of the afternoon he felt. like
stretching his legs and decided to see
If there was anything going on in
the Green Forest.
He crept out of the bramble tangle,

Of treating cotton under tension in
a caustic soda solution, and then pre-
venting it's shrinkage and so giving
1T gloss. The yarn, after being
washed and dried is put into the
caustic soda for about fifteen min
utes. Then it is stretched back to
its original size, and possibly again
put through the caustic soda solution
under tension. While still being
stretched, it is washed in water con-
tanning chemical-in most cases
sulphuric acid. This chemical coun-
teracts any harmful effect which the
caustic soda might have on the
cloth, and keeps it from stretching
Usually the material is bleached
after the merceriZing, though the
order of the processes may be reversed.
Finally it is dyed, singed and calen-
dered: The yarns may be gassed be-
fore they are mercerized, so that ends
of the fibers are burned. off.
Calendering. on the other hand, is
merely passing the material under
rollers, engraved with fine lines
which so press the threads of the
cloth that it reflects the light and
has high luster

Ny Neighbor Says:

A small clock beyond repair
can be made useful for the sick
room by setting the hands at
the hour when the patient Is to
receive the next dose of med
icine.
In cooking vegetables cover
those that grow under the
ground-as onions, etc.-leave
uncovered all vegeta bles that
grow above the ground.
Leftover potatoes, should not
be piled together, as they sour
quickly. Spread them out on a
large dish.
When making egg custard
pies always heat the milk to
the boiling point before mixing
with the eggs. If this rule is
followed, the undercrust will
be crisp.
Always remember in using a
gas stove that matches are
cheaper than gas, and always
figure as near as possible the
correct length of time 1t takes
to cook a thing. You are only
wasting gas to let things go on
cooking or water boiling over
the necessary time. Also re-
member that things are cooking
just as rapidly with the water
slowly bubbling, so always turn
down the burners after things
have commenced to boil.>

loaded down with suit cases, yalises,
steamer rugs, heavy coats, umbrellas
and hat boxes. On shipboard their
staterooms are clogged up with un-
necessary luggage and the overhead
rack in the sleeper or chair car is
boiling over with wraps and bags.
