a pocket handkerchief-''a head COW
er for the hand carried in the

pocket handkerchief-"a head COW
pocket"
In contrast with the handkerchief
there was the neckerchief-the head
cover that was used about the neck
Now we hear occasionally of neck
handkerchief!
For a time 1t seemed as If gypsies
and newly landed Hungarian peas
ants-likewise actors impersonating
COWBOYS and pirates-were the only
members of American communities
VINO were keeping alive the world
oid custom OF wearing neckerchiefs.
But now the neckerchief has assumed
position Of great Importance as
an accessory of the tailored suit
that has been welcomed with out
stretched arms.
One thing that has prevented wom-
en- from espousing the cause of the
suit for several seasons past is that
they have become so used to low
collars that they will not go back
TO the old, high, stiff neck covering,
and at the same time every woman
knows that the man-tailored suit
really does not look its best If worn
without collar. The silk handker-
chief comes in to solve the problem.
1t may be worn as a little after
thought that can be knotted casu-
ally over the suit collar in the man
ner shown in the upper sketch. Here
the handkerchief matches the hat.
The lower sketch shows most
severe manner of arranging the
handkerchief stock, fastening it
with diamond horseshoe pin.

GallstOne Disease.

The time to treat gladstone disease
or inflammation of the gall-sack is in
the stage when it is uncertain whether
the symptoms are really due TO gall
sack trouble. y glass of hot water
slipped slowly on rising and at bed
time, and plenty of cold water be-
tween meals, will prevent more
trouble than gallons of mineral
water taken later on as a forlorn
remedy.
Though gallstones come high, we
doB't have to have them. Why are the
great majority of cases in women. 30
per cent of them in women who have
had children? Why is typhoid fever
such feature of the history of gall
stone disease"
Women are inclined to drink in
sufficient water. Women get less eN-
erciSe. especially insufficient walking
in the open air. when pregnant. Sed-
entary habit and inadequate liquid
intake predispose TO gallstones. Ty-
phoid germs are always eliminated
through the gall-sack in typhoid fe-
yer: not strange that a few Should
remain there if the bile apparatus is
torpid. But there is no reason why
eXpectant mothers should not take
period: in fact this is the best as
surance of, normal labor.
Typhoid fever is now as unneceS-
sary for the individual as in small
poX. And as for neglected teeth and
Riggs disease and infected tonsils-
which produce gallstones-all of these
are preventable or durable if not al
lowed to go too far.

My Neighbor Says:

TO keep fish fresh. clean the
flash and sprinkle it inside with
brown sugar. Keep the fish in
a horizontal position so that the
sugar may soak into it as much
as possible. Half an ounce of
sugar will be found quite suffi-
cient for three pounds of fish.
If a fish is treated by this
method before sailing and
smoking. the flavor is much i'm
proved.
To make tough steak tender,
place it for a few minutes in
strong vinegar. then wash and
broil or fry as usual
To bleach unbleaclled cotton
first soak the cloth in rather
strong. soapsuds for twelve
hours. For twelve yards Of
sheeting (unbleached cotton
cloth), dissolve one-fourth
pound of chloride of lime I'm
enough boiling hot water to
cover the cloth when dipped in
it. Before putting in the ma
terial to be bleached. strain the
solution through a flannel bag
or other coarse cloth as soon as
the lime is dissolved. Then put
the cloth in. the lime water,
stir constantly, and let it re-
main for about a half hour.
Then take it out and rinse thor
oughly in several clear waters.
Then boil the cloth in soapsuds.
rinse again thoroughly and

Tea should never be allowed
to remain in the pot in which it
has been made. AS soon as the

for drawing have elapsed. 1t
should be poured off into a fresh
teapot, previously warmed and

BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
". BURGESS

like most of the other little people,
Peter was willing TO take chances
for the sake of his stomach.
One night. he remembered some
thing he hadn't thought Of for a long
time. 1t was Farmer Browns young
orchard. 1t was Il long, long time
SINCE Peter. had been up in the or
chard. This was because the last time
he had visited it he had found each
young tree protected by wire netting.
He had visited every tree and hadn't
been able to get so much as taste
of the bark. AS there was nothing
else to interest him there, he hadn't
been back for more than year.
Il believe I'll run over there" saId
he. Yes. sir, l believe I'll run over
there. Perhaps that wire has been
taken off of those trees. Perhaps
there are some new trees without any
wire around them. Anyway. it won't
cost me anything but u little trouble
to have look
So Peter went No sooner did he
reach the first tree than he made a
great discovery. The snow was SO
deep that it came almost to the top of
the wire that protected the trunk of
that tree. By sitting up he could
reach the bark above the top of the
wire. He sampled it. 1t was good.
He gnawed that bark just as high as
he could reach all the way round the
tree. He even stood up as high as
he could. He didn't know that he
was killing that tree. but that is
just what he was doing. When lie
had eaten all the bark he could reach
other. Peter was in mischief. Yes,
sir, Peter Rabbit was in mischief.
But he didn't know it.

America is the happy hunting
ground of borrowers: but since we
cannot lend to all who ask, we must
exercise discretion in our charity.
l speak not of past debts incurred
by the associate nations with whom
we were engaged in the defense of
justice and liberty.
There we face mot a theory, but a
condition" The facts and aims
which brought US into the alliance
must be considered. Our high pur-
pose to. promote the freedom and
peace of the world must be contin-
ued.
speak now only of future loans
and private donations.
Shall not the same purpose which
we honestly declared then guide US
now?
Shall we lend our money Cor the
preparation of another war, for the
oppression of helpless and unwillins z
minorittes. for the propagation uf in
ternational hatreds and social vio-
lence?
Not unless we wish to justify the
remark of the German attachc who
called US "those idiotic Yankees"
But when we hear the voice of ms
of the little children comes TO US.
shall we stop our ears and hold our
hands:
Shall we stay to ask whether these
sufferers are in Germany or Russia
or Greece or Palestine or Japan:
Not if America is Christian as wetl
as great.
Let us be generous, but net asinine.
America is glad to clothe the naked
and feed the starving.

tent brigands is not charity.
