Nursing Boils and Things.

OF all the poor fish that do not ap-
peal to my sympathy the most unap
pealing is the geek that nurses felon,
an liberated tooth or an abscess any
where else, say in the appendix, and
waits to see what that peerless char
latan, Old Mother Nature, will do
about it. l can weep and sob at al
most anybody's funeral except the fei-
lows that has been operated on by
Nature. assisted, perhaps, by one or
another brand. of new-fangled drug
less healer. 1t seems that these self
styled "drugIess' healers are great
allies of nature and are always willing
to let the goof who is enamored OF
natures ways take his chances in the
hands of nature, provided he has
enough jack to lay down for an ad-
vance or retainer fee ticket. The
ticket is good for a dozen or a score
of punches and it serves to keep the
buyers mind off the fact that he has
been required to pay cash in advance
for the shortcut healer's services.
In some States, alas, these drug
less" healers are not licensed and so
they collect in advance, since they
have no standing in court and cannot
compel a dissatisfied customer to pay
for the Illegal treatment.
Next to the healer who attempts to
appeal to popular ignorance and pref
udice by holding himself out as
"pathist" Of some kind or other. the
most contemplate humbug, | think,
is the one who plays to popular ignor-
ance and prejudice regarding medi-
cines. AS though 1t made any differ

Individuals vary greatly in their
fondness for boils. With some indi-
viduals one lone boil is sufficient for a
season; with others the first boil mere
ly serves as a sample, and IL seems so
satisfactory that they go in for boil
culture on an extensive scale. One
reason for this prevalent fondness for
the boil business is the popular fancy
that boils are somehow indicative of
impurities in the blood" which no.

| dark ages that the blood ''casts out"
impurities through such LESSONS of the

Cigarette Question.

Several Of my readers have been
asking lately: What about cigarettes,
Mimi? Will il cheaper me to smoke ?
All the boys offer me cigarettes, and
sometimes 1 imagine they think me a
poor sport and a prig, because 1 turn
them down. What's the proper atti-
tude about it?"
Well, personally, it seems TO me
these young ladies are giving too
much thought to a rather trivial
question.
The idea that it is immoral to
smoke is dying out so rapidly that
even the older generation laughs at it.
If you are refrafning from this pop
ular indoor sport because you think
your abstinence is going to speed
your entrance into Heaven, you're on
the wrong track entirely.
Smoking as a moral issue is out of
date; smoking as a menace to health is
still a very live question indeed.
There is not any need for me to
point out the statistics, showing how
many young people per square inch
die every year because their use of to-
bacco had made them unable to resist
disease.
You've read all of that sort of thing
before, and don't want it inserted into
a column Of advice.
buL IL you re- On Ile ROAD 10 D6COIn-
ing an addict, you might drag out
those same old statistics and look
them over very carefully.
Some doctors are saying nowadays
that q few cigarettes a day will dc
your nerves goodwill calm you and
soothe you. That's all right IL you
keep to the few cigarettes a day, but
don't get into the habit of lighting one
every time you read a book, sit down
for a chat or take any kind of refresh
ment.
Overindulgence in the matter OF
smoking has several unpleasant re
suits. Did you ever go near a girl
and Immediately become conscience OF
the odor of horrid, stale tobacco? Die
it attract you toward her? 1t did not
Girls should smell Of some slight
elusive scent, and the perfume of stale
tobacco on a girl is as disagreeable tc
me as to the worst prig in the world
Did you ever notice the yelloweG
fingers of some girl of your acquaint
ance? Did you notice what soiled
unpleasant look her hands had be
cause of those yellow stains?
Those disagreeable little results are
the things to watch out for, when tax
ing up smoking.
II you feel your health can stand it
if you know you can conf1ne yourself
to d few a day-if your smoking won't
offend the special man-and If you can
remember to avoid the yellow fingers
and cigarette smell-then there's nc
particular reason to get worked ur
over whether you ought to smoke
or not.

low was anywhere around. I shall
have to wait now to make quite sure
that the way is clear"
So little Mrs. Whitefoot waited and
waited. She would poke her pretty
little head out and then draw 1t back
| quickly, fearful that she had beer
seen. Finally she managed to get
courage enough to- come wholly out
She saw nothing of Redtail and start
ed on to look for a new home. But
she had gone only a short distance
when the rustic of leaf caused her to
turn her head quickly. There was
Reddy Fox. He saw her just as she
saw him. Now Reddy can move very
quickly. Few people can move more
quickly that Reddy Fox. He was just
about two good jumps from Mrs
Whitefoot, and he made those two
jumps so quickly that it seemed as ii
he had covered the distance in one
jump.
Now there is such a thing as being
a little too quick sometimes. Reddy
was so quick that in almost the time
it would take you to draw a breath
he landed right exactly on the spot
where Mrs. Whitefoot had been. But
she wasn't there. She had been quite
as quick as Eeddy. Instead Of run.
ming away from him, she had darted
straight toward him, for there was a
little hole in the ground that she knew
of there. Reddy had thought that if
she ran at all she would run away
from him, and that If he missed her
on that second jump he would get her
on the third. So he made that second
jump before he realized that little Mrs
Whitefoot was not running away from
him. The result was that he jumped
right over her. The very instant his
feet touched the ground he whirled
|about. He was just in time to see Mrs
Whitefoot's long, slim tail disappear
in that hole. Then you should have
seen Reddy dig. Ny, how he made
the dirt flyi
But he didn't get little Mrs White
foot. There was a little tunnel along
which she ran. 1t led to an opening
under a pile of brush. Peeping out
from under this pile of brush she
watched. until finally, Reddy gave ur
and went away. Then little Mrs
Whitefoot returned straight home
She had decided that this wouldn't be
good day to move.

Beads for the New Evening Frocks
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Truly we live in the bead age, so
far as costumery is concerned. For
silhouettes may change-grow wider
or narrower, f1aring or straight
skirts may grow long or shrink almost
TO nothing, sleeves may come and
sleeves may go, but beads go on for.
ever, or seemingly so.
1t may be that eventually we will
grow weary of beaded frocks and that
they will pass really out of fashion,
but that time seems far off. More
than once since beads came into
prominence the prediction has been
made that they were soon to go OUT
OF favor. The beaded blouse that
girls used to wear TO work in the
morning and the inexpensive beaded
georgette frock that thousands of
women regarded as q necessity have.
in fact, gone out of vogue. Vari-
ously printed crepes and georgettes
have taken their place.
The beaded frock of today is a
glorious contraption. From Paris
comes the information that at very
smart evening parties the beaded
frock is most in evidence, and women
here who can think of new clothes at
this time of the year are tempted by
the lovely georgette and chiffon
frocks richly strewn with beads. The
beads are laid on with skilled hard
following the designing of true artists.
designs as they used to be. They are
Ia otyiSh cd in INT
with sometimes fringes of the beads
dripping down from the frock.
You really must see some one of
these new beaded frocks to appreciate
the difference. For one thing, the
beads themselves are different. Some
one brings the information that they
are of porcelain instead OF transpar-
ent glass. Sometimes there is an
almost barbaric splendor about the
beaded frocks, combining rich me
tallic textures, gold lace or rich vel
vet brocade with the frosting of
beads, and one sometimes sees bright
colored bugles applied here and there
like emeraldS and rubies amid the
frosting Of crystal or pearl bead work
One charming little beaded frock
designed by Bernard Of Paris shows
a sleeveless, straight, long bodice of
white mousSeline de sole, embroider-
ed with white beads running in YER
tical lines up and down the bodice.
The short, Scant skirt of the same
material is embroidered in coral beads
and black beads. The low Waistline
is marked by a narrow belt of metal
ribbon with a long, plant white os-
trich plume hanging down from the
middle Of the front-extending inches
beyond the edge Of the skirt.

Freckles.

IF you want to fight freckles intelli-
gently YOU should make mental list
of all the bleaching agents and use
only cosmetics containing those bleach
es. Some skins freckle so easily that
The ordinary bleaches are. no good;
still, as every one uses cold cream

freckles, you can try some more dras-
tic remedy.
Your cold cream should be either
cucumber or peroxide cold cream. 1t
Should be used last thing at night to
cleanse the skin. During the day the
face should be rubbed with some such
lotion as barley water or cucumber
milk. You will find formula for
making barley water in any cook
book. It is one of the most delicious
of Summer drinks. Use twice as much
barley as the recipe calls for, and add
to it an equal amount of spirits of
wine Rub this into the skin and wipe

A simple SUnburn and freckle lotion
is made by mixing equal parts of
gIycerin, witch hazel and peroxide of

tie. Here's another stronger one:

1t is an experience so common to

Other Ways.
1t is supposed the oversupply oi

and that the thought of canning does

for an emergency when unexpected

down and put away in the ice box in

make a beverage of delightful flavor

which they are added.
Peach Salad.
The use of pears in salad is well
known. The use of peaches in like
manner is, however, somewhat less
familiar.
A decorative way of serving peaches
in salad is as follows:
The peach may be peeled or left ir
the skin if that be a very pretty one
1t should be halved and the stone
removed. The peach should then be
slit toward the center so that the
pieces spread like the petals of Z
flower. The center may be heaped
with cream cheese. A tiny piece OF
green pepper may repose prettily
upon the top of the cream cheese, II
desired.
Fruit Sandwiches.
As to sandwiches: if you would use
peach jam for A sandwich, why not
fresh peaches, too? 1t has been tried
with success. The peaches of the
oversupply should be peeled and
sugared down. When they are
needed, the superfiuous juice may be
drained off, and added TO the berry
juice for cooling drink. The
peaches are then chopped and spread
on buttered graham or white bread
There is something very refreshing
and novel about a sandwich of fresl
fruit No one will guess that YOU
did it for any reason than to delight
the palate in novel way
Another Idea.
One lady who eats a variety of fruit
in the Summer time put any that is
left into a jar, and when enough Is
accumulated to make it worth while
to add ii to a gelatin for flavorins
or to a beverage. she does so and has
something that is a poser" for her
guests to analyzc. and is at the same
time thoroughly delicious.
Remember. also. that oranges added
to the frosting OF cake are very de
licious AS a filler for a sponge cake
sliced oranges are especially tasty in

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
excellent until a little after noon,
they then become overcast and q tritle
complex. If you are anxious to EN-
bark on any untried enterprise, the
details of which have been carefully
thought out, the early hours Of the
day offer a good opportunity for the
effort, and the signs denote every
prospect of success. Later on in the
day there is nothing to encourage or
stimulate initiative or originality, but,
although the atmosphere IS drab, there
will be no sense of pessimism or de-
spair. In the home circle self-re-
Straint and poise are recommended in
order TO avoid disagreement or lack
of harmony.
Children born tomorrow, regardless
of sex, enjoy normal health conditions
during infancy, but are liable, just
prior to the period of adolescence to
suffer from a serious ailment, or an
accident of a more or less grave ma
ture. There is nothing, however, to
indicate that given proper care and
attention, they will not attain physical
normalcy. In disposition the boy will
be pliable and lovable, whereas the
girl will be stubborn and only at
tractive to those she wishes to charm.
The boy will be very susceptible to
externalS, and his character will al
together depend on the environment
with which he is surrounded in his
youth. The girl, on the other hand
will have a will all her own, and, in
sist on having her own way at all
costs.
If tomorrow is your birthday YOU
have very strong character without
being Objectionable, and are fired with
an unlimited ambition, owing to the
confidence you have in yourself. Your
powers of observation, combined with
your systematic efforts, make it easier
for you than it is for others to at
tain that which YOU seek. One draw
back to your success, and which can
be easily remedied by well regulated
effort, is your impulsiveness, which
makes you quick tempered and easily
angered. Even though you regret
these outbursts immeditely after their
occurrence and are always amenable
| to reason the ill-considered words ut.
tered by you in moments of irritation
always leave a sting behind them.
You take great pleasure in making
others happy and consider no personal
effort too great to bring comfort and
solace to those who stand in need of
it. Your mate will receive your un-
divided love and unstinted devotion
and your home life should be ideally
happy.
Well known persons born on that
date are: William G.. Langdon, clergy
man; Wilson G.. Smith, pianist and
composer; Harold Frederick, Journalist
and author; Elsie Ferguson, actress,
