Handkerchief Time.

This is handkerchief time. The cold
air sets the children shifting. 1t Is not
good for child TO keep shifting all day
long. A handkerchief Is the best way
out.
NV hand Is against the dirty hand
kerchief and it Is almost useless TO get
excited about any little boys pocket
handkerchief, for 1t Is goig to be used
for anything that needs wiping, from
the bicycle to his face. Little girls are
bit better about it, especially If the
handkerchief is gay beyond service.
They will carry the handkerchief and
keep on smiling, SOS to keep it nice.
But it is handkerchief time and some
thing must be done about 1t. Children's
nasal passages must be kept clean. Be
fore the child starts for school see that
his nose is clean, free, open, so that
he can breathe through 1t easily. Then
give him a soft handkerchief and in
struct him to use it for the right pur-
pose.
When a child's nose Is so stuffed that
he cannot talk. 60 one can understand
him. keep him at home until it clears
up. A stopped nasal passage sometimes
does great damage. BY starting early
with children, by teaching them to keep
their noses in good working order, we
avoid many hard cold, many an ear
ache. many serious difficulty.
Noses are close to ears. A stopped
nose affects the hearing OF the child.
Noses that are habitually stopped need
the attention Of a good nose and throat
snecialist. Don't let the condition run

The garage was literally choked with
machines. A narrow aisle provided the
only means of ingress and egress. 1t
was early and the owners were anxious
to be on their several ways. One of
them had arrived late the night before
and a negligent helper failed to move
the car from the aisle, with the result
that there occurred blockade. The
machine had been unwittingly locked
but it could have been pushed into
place.
At $50 am. the owner arrived and
smiled greeting to the garage men
and acquaintance and leaped into his
RATHER. He stepped on the starter but
nothing happened. Once again he
tried to turn it over. Someone blew a
horn.
One of the helpers raised the hood
of the car and examined the carburetor.
TRY it again" he suggested. The own
er placed his foot on the starter but
the motor refused to spin.
Perhaps you haven't enough gas
said one of the helpers, and investigated
the tank, which proved to be filled.
It was evident that the battery was
functioning, for it spun the gadget :.
The owner was becoming angry and
the other patrons peevish over the
delay.
Lets try the hand crank" said a
helper. The owner lifted the back
seat, cussed bit and handed the
crank to the garage man. He twisted
the crank until he was blue in the
face but still there was no result.

Not Through the Skin Yet.

For a year or longer readers have
been sending me clippings OF curious
item that seems to be going the ROUNDS
of the press. This item usually appears
in the form of dispatch from Vienna.
Somehow it does seem as though IL
should come from Harley street or from
somewhere in France. But 1t is always
from Vienna, If one believes all one
reads in the-clippings. Anyway. the
item tells how 1t is going to be possible
in the near future to feed a man
awful, Mabel? Why, my gracious, the
skinny people will be rioting to get next
place in the beauty parlor chair, and
the fat ones won't dare to visit the
place for a facial, lest the experts rub
in a little steak and potato on the sly
1t seems in the Vienna dispatch that
an unidentified Austrian doctor" has
succeeded in forcing enough nourtSh-
ment through the skin of patient to
maintain strength and body heat"
What demoralizing effect this news
will have on the business of the big
muscle boys, the mail-order artists who
sell courses" to the perennial Yankee
sucker. Why bother with such treat
ment" when this Austrian doctor will
probably be making the circuit shortly

The comical item even contains a
special bait to prepare the suckers for
the promotion campaign that Is to fol-
low in due course This is revelation
that the process" discovered by the
nameless Austrian savant involves q
kind of massage with mysterious mix
ture of fat, proteid, sugar and the
necessary vitamins. There! That will

introduction of the great nostrum. 1t

reputable medical gentlemen, for be 1t

Just some correspondents little joke.
But If it isn't advance agents propa-
ganda why, oh, why, does 1t appear
thousand times in the year, and always
in the form of regular news dispatch?
Another little joke that my anony-
nous correspondents enjoy playing on
me Is this: Every day or two they send
me a clipping marked with an arrow
pointing to the disturbing assertion OF
an esteemed colleague that cases OF
poisoning by anilines or benzenes from
the wearing of shoes Immediately after
dyeing the leather with dye contain
ing anime or benzol derivative prove
that these poisons are absorbed through
the unbroken skin" My correspondents,
first taking good pains to remain hid
den, ask me some laconic question about
the clash of opinions"
Shucks! Suppose one spilled a bottle
of chloroform on ones necktie and
presently became unconscious. Would
it prove that the chloroform was alb
sorbed through the skin Of the chest?
Sure it would-in my illustrious col
leagues opinion. But not in my opin-

"Too few Americans are familiar with

country. He was the first man to rec

of advertising. He created the Post
Office Department. He caused Phila-
delphia to be paved, lighted and
cleaned. He invented stove and made
a gift of the invention to the public.

chimney nuisance. For seven years he

BRIDCETALKS
BY MRS. JOHN MUNCE, JR

Continuing the discussion of the bid
ding during the auction, you will recall
that there are four types of bidding
the buying bid, the declining bid or
pass, the double, and the redouble.
Now the dealer, who has the first turn
to declare, after looking at his hand
may use either of the first two bids;
that is, he may pass or he may bid
anything from one to seven in any suit,
or one to seven no trumps. Either a
bid or a pass is a declaration. After
dealer has declared, the other three
players declare in their turn-to the
left. In order to simplify descriptions,
dealer is called South, his partner
North, and the players on dealers right
and left are called East and West, re-
spectively. Thus West declares after
South, and then North and East. These
are also referred to at times as dealer,
or first hand, second hand, third hand
and fourth hand, respectively.
Let us suppose that South passes.
West then has the opportunity to bid
or pass. If West should pass also,
North, being next in turn, could open
the bidding or pass, and if North should
pass East would have to decide whether
W pass ftIlQ IldNC LIlIOWIl OuL
or bid, in which case the hand would
PEELED to bid, and when on the first
round of the auction all four players
pass the deal is passed out and the
player on dealers left deals next with
the other pack.
Until there has been a bid or four
passes any player in his turn can make
the first bid by naming any suit or no
trumps, but it is customary to start by
bidding one. Only in exceptional hands
Is the bidding begun with more than
one in any suit
A bid opens the auction for the other
three players, regardless of whether
they have previously passed, and con-
tinues until there has been three con-
secutive passes following the last named
bid. If South, West and North should
pass and East should bid, East's bid
would give the other three another
chance to bid. Before a bid Is made
all that player can do is to bid or
player whose turn 1t is may bid, pass
or double. OF course, when he doubles
he must double an opponents bid, as
he may not double the bid of his part
ner. A double operates exactly as a
bid in permitting the other three play
ers to bid again. For example, suppose
that South deals and bids, that West
and North pass, so that it is East's
turn. East by passing would give South
the contract at his bid, because after a
bid three passes in succession end the
auction. But if East should double,
the auction is kept open, and South,
West and North in turn have the privi-
lege of passing or making higher bid.
If they all pass, South plays the doubled
contract.
We will continue to discuss bidding
in the next talk.

AUTUMN
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

"Gone to seed'-there is no more
contemptuous term of reproach when
applied to human being, and even
when, in a more kindly spirit, we say
it of flowers, we mean that they are
objects of beauty no longer, but are
passing through stage necessary in
the life history of the plant, but I'M
lovely.
Yet, I wonder if that unloveliness is
really not in the eye of the beholder.
Some one has said that no woman is
beautiful until she is so, and while
this is silly aphorism, still it is true
that a country yokel can see that
girl of II is pretty, but it takes a Van
Dyck, or Frans Halls to paint the
wiser, deeper and more moving beauty
of an old face.
Personally, love a garden gone to
seed; love the scarlet seeds of peonieS,
the verInillion tips of roses and the
bronze look of seeding grasses in the
lawn of an abandoned farmhouse, where
the crickets chant.
The riddle that has convulsed chill
dren for generations, about the chicken
and the egg, is more seriously raised
in the biology of the years cycle: Does
seed exist in order to produce a
flower? We never question 1t as we
press nasturtium seed into the gar
den plot. What use the fruit of a
naSturtium? But in the woods and
fields, where flowers are tiny and hardy,
and economical of color and nectar, the
flower exists to produce the gayly COL
ored fruits and the seeds vital and
pregnant with life. The beauty of a
woman is cheerfully given by its pos
SCISSOR to make the beauty of her chill
dren--if she be any true woman. The
rose withers without regret to make
the fat-sided, many-seeded haw. The
beauty of the fruit is natures plan and
purpose.

Every mistake costs something. We
hate to make mistakes because we
don't want to give something for moth
ing. Every mistake exacts a penalty.
1t is chalked up on the wrong side OF
the ledger of life. Just as we are
anxious to increase our bank account
we hate to make mistakes which de-
crease our credit-in terms OF money,
prestige, time, energy, self respect
pride and the rest of the coinage OF our
human existence.
A mistake is costly and embarrassing.
1t signifies that the one VINO made the
mistake is guilty of one or more OF
number of uncomplimentary traits and
human faillngs. A mistake involves
stupidity, forgetfulness, ignorance, aWk-
wardness, sluggiShneSS, poor Judgment
everything that is undesirable and Tor
which we reproach and denote men.
We all make mistakes and gladly adj
nit this as an abstract principle, but
we de not care to be caught in any
specific mistake and do our best to
shift the blame in case we find ourselves
in bad.
1t is not expected of mortals to get
along without making mistakes. But
the fewer we make the more self-con-
fldence and self-respect we have for
ourselves and the greater is our prestige
in the eyes of others. The loss of
prestige is the main objection to max
ing mistakes. No one will trust you

known to be bungler. And the man

| ing the chief tasty bits, supplemented
| by the vegetables mentioned.
The number of recipes for each New
England style is legion, though, funda-
mentally. all are akin. When we con-
slider that there are endless ways of
making such simple dishes as omelets,
or the number of recipes that exist for
making rolls, it is easy to understand
how there can be numerous recipes for
New England clam chowder and yet
have the soup of the same general type.
The recipe given is typical and can be
relied upon as delicious.
The ingredients are many, but all are
such as a homemaker would be likely
to have on hand, plus the bivalves
Freshly dug clans are used in this rec
ipe. They must be well washed to
free them from sand. Wash the clans
while they are still in their shells. Keep
them constantly stirring about. Use
the hands for this, and not spoon,
which may break the shells. The shells
are then pried open with sharp knife
and each clam scooped out with the
knife. All the clam liquid should be
saved with the clans. 1t is possible to
get the clans already taken out, which
saves much of the work of preparation.
The ingredients are four cups clans,
out of their shells; one large or two
small onions cut in slices, two table
spoonfuls flour, one teaSpoonful salt,
one-haf teaspoonful thyme, two cups
water, four cups potatoes, one-half
pound salt pork, diced; one quart milk,
one-fourth teaspoonfu1 mace, one-half
teaspoonful pepper, four large common
crackers, sometimes called Boston
crackers.
Put the pork nj frying pan and
WI ho0i1lC RI n oil ho
onion slices. Cook until both are
brown. Stir in the -four and add one
cup cold water and then the liquid
from the clans, which should have
been Steaming in their own juice for
three minutes. This liquor must be
strained before the clans are put in to
simmer. Add the seasoning and po-
tatoes, diced. Cut or chop the clans,
first removing the heads. Add to the
other ingredients in the pot and simmer
until the clans are tender. Before
taking from the fire add the rest of the
water, the milk and crackers rolled to
make coarse crumbs.
