Productive Life.

An Ohio reader sends this query:
Some time ago I noticed that you
approve of the two-year hospital train
ing course for nurses.
II contemplate entering a school
where the course is two years. But the
school is not an accredited school,
therefore 1 would not be qualified to
pass the state board examination and
get a certificate of registration. But
the school gives diploma. My friends
say it is waste of time for me to en-
ter such a school. The school I refer
to is - hospital. Will you kindly
advise me as to what you think?"
I have no knowledge of the nurse
training school the correspondent men,
tions, and I can only repeat what I
have said here more than once, namely,
that in my judgment two years is
plenty of time to make a competent
nurse, and If I have occasion to sum-
mon nurse in my own family ! do
not care whether she has had two
year course or longer one.
Unfortunately for the profession Of
nursing, the control of nurse training
or education is largely in the hands
of the ladies and gentlemen who hold
honorary positions on the board of
managers in the large hospitals. 1t is
their idea, the third year in the nurse
training course. That year is grand
the services of many nurses.
AS calling, nursing is not so at
tractive today. Many hospitals are
quietly bidding for applicants for the
training schools, where few years ago
they were able to pick and choose.
Young women it seems, are not rush.

The cabinets afford plenty of space
for the keeping of pots, pans, knives.
forks, spoons, ETC., and even the kitchen
linens would be very handy if kept in
one of these.
The cupboards above, which have
such attractive loaded glass doors,
may be used for such china and glass
ware as would be used for the breakfast
loom, and the shelf across the top of
the stove may have metal cans contain
ing crackers, rice, coffee and such
staples as heat will not spoil.

BRAIN TESTS

Today you can test your ability to

you want to know the remainder. you
will get upon dividing a number by
nine, simply divide the sum of. the num-
ber's digits by nine, and you will get
the same remainder as you would get
by. dividing the whole number by nine.
Example, 88257 divided by nine gives
a remainder of 3. But you get the

that no amount of your realistic teach
ing could ever bring into the open mind
of the listening child.
There is vast difference between
the attitude of chi1d-mind and that
of an adult. Truth to the adult is
something beyond the comprehension
of the mind of child. Only the fairy
tale can carry that in the language of
child-thought to the child-mind.
A child needs fairy tale to feed his
mind as you need course in logic for
yours, or a book of your favorite SER

Double Chin and Thin Hands.

Dear Miss LEEDS: ID Please tell me
how to correct double chin and how
to fatten thin hands. 1 am Is years
old, 5 feet az inches tall and weigh
11S> pounds. CD My measurements
are: Bust, ala; neck 1919; waist, 25 a;
9T Are these correct? 90 I have
medium complexion, brown hair and
brown eyes. What colors are becoming
to me?
A CONSTANT READER, ely"
Answer.-D Your double chin is
doubtless due to incorrect posture. Learn
to hold your head up. Do not let your
chin sink down. Sleep on a low pillow,
Exercise your neck in the following way:
Sit in low-backed chair and throw
your head back. Let it hang between
your shoulders. Now slowly raise your
head and at the same time turn it TO
the right, stretching the neck well.
Throw your head back again and then
raise it slowly to the left. Repeat twice.
The same exercise may be done lying
on bed with your head hanging over
the edge. Throw your head back and
chew, keeping your lips closed. Be
careful not to do neck exercises too
vigorously or for too long time, since
to do so will give you a stiff neck
Massage your neck every night with
long strokes from the center of the
throat to the ears, using the backs of
the hands. Your weight is good ~
Your measurements are fair. The bust
might be a lit larger and the ankle
smaller. AS you mature your proper
tons will improve; do not worry about
them now 80 Dull rose and peach
shades are becoming to your type. Me-

Curling Bleached Hair.

to bleach my hair, which is naturally

nent wave now or should 1 let my hair
grow in its natural color first? 90 How
can bleach or remove hairs from legs?

have permanent on bleached hair. The
peroxide has injured the texture of your
hair and the wave would complete its
ruin. think your hair would soon be-
