year or 30. I shall appreciate it
very much il you will advise me in
regard to your treatment Of fasting
and dieting"

through the nose while you are
sleeping. This is because Of IN in.
famed condition Of the membrane
inside of the nose which is engoreed
with catarrhal mucus. As soon q

family will be delighted to notice
that You are no longer snoring.
Question: Anabelle asks: How
did 'Roquefort' cheese get it,
name?"
Answer: This cheese was named
after the French village Of Rogue
fort where special herds Of sheep
that supply the milk are pastuyed.
Much care is given to the diet Of
these sheep, and even the water
that is supplied is whitened with
barley-flour. Roquefort cheese,

process Of preparation before It
reaches the market. Il is, however,
very good protein food when used
in proper combination with other
foods.

When Wool Has Been ScOrched
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

sss should take away most OF the
brownish look It removes the frayec
burned ends of the threads and the
burned fuzz of the wool.
When this has been done so that the
place does not show, or until the goods
can stand no more strain without the
threads giving way, fill a small bowl
with boiling hot water. Hold the
scorched part of the garment right side
up over the edge of the bowl, and
draw gently from side to side, letting
the spot extend over the edge of the
bowl each time you draw the goods
back and forth The steam will help
raise the pile and the hard rim of the
bowl further aids the process of fore
ing the finish
It must be remembered that a scorch
is different from a stain, except when
the stain is made with caustic, for
something is actually taken from the
goods when even a slight burn is occa-
stoned Spots are made by adding
something extraneous to fabric that
must be taken out to restore the cloth
to its original appearance. The matter
is quite different in the case of burn.
When a scorch is bad enough to be-
come burn 1t is practically impossible
to remove the traces except by the fin
est of fine darning. Sometimes this
can be done at home, but if the place
is extremely bad and the garment
valuable it is wise to have it done by
the expert method of weave mending,
the expense of which would be war
ranted in such an instance.

Answer-0 I do not advise bleach
ing dark hair. 1t is always possible to
detect bleached blond. Let your hair
grow out in its natural shade When
bleaching is done it should be intrust-
ed to an expert in order to avoid that
red, streaky effect. (2) You are about
II pounds overweight. You have
matronly figure. Your measurements
would be in good proportion II you
were about three inches taller.
A Blemished Complexion.
Dear Miss Leeds-Please tell me how
To cure small sores that break out on
my nose. leaving scars that do not go
away for several weeks They seem
to be enlarged pores with some in
lection in them. but they are not ex-
actly like pimples. I have tried using
cold water after cold cream. but it does
not seem to help. Would enlarged
pores make my skin look coarse and
unsightly in the daytime but all right
under electric light? I am II years
old. ANNE 5.
Answer-I think the trouble is that
YOU have not been washing your skin
with soap and water. For your type
of skin cold cream cleansing is not
enough. After using the cream wash
your face with plenty of warm water
and soap. Massage the thick lather
into the skin, then rinse very thor
oughly in clean warm water. Battle in
cold water for several minutes and rub
with ice. Tincture of green soap is
good to use for cleansing your type of
skin At bedtime rub little zinc ONT
ment or sulphur ointment on the sores
and leave it on overnight Next morn
ing wash your face in cold water. dry
and pat little witch-hazel on them.
Enlarged pores are of course more no.
ticeable under natural than under arti-
fetal light. LOIS LEEDS.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE

Although astrologers find tomorrow
rather an unimportant day In planetary
direction, the rule Is adverse.
Again a day for reflection rather
than action, it Is time to exercise
extreme caution.
All the influences appear to be de-
structive rather than constructive and
1t is wise to be on the guard against
respondent and discouraged attitudes
of mind.
Under this rule suicides increase and
crimes of violence are more numerous
than usual.
Those who read the stars find little
promise of improvement In the records
concerning vice and crimes OF many
sorts, but they do see in the distant flu
ture the most sweeping reforms.
It is we'll to watch the temper through
this day, in which it Is supposed to be
easy to lose self-control. Women may
be irritable and disinclined to smile at
their husbands thrice-told tales.
A London astrologer says that Sep
TENDER from now on may be most I'M
fortunate for the world in general,
marked by slaughter, war and an in
vasion of territory.
Runania, Russia, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are subject to the most maleflc
aspects, that may contribute to new
chapters of sadness, the seers an
nounce.
Speculation in the United States will
be widespread again, it Is prognosti-
Gated, and the tendency to bet will be
prevalent Many losses will be sus-
tanned by foolish persons.
There Is good sign for those who
deal in dry goods or who manufacture
them, for they will profit by new modes,
if the stars are rightly read.
Under this rule, men may be exceed
ingly wary of feminine attractions, but
nevertheless exceedingly susceptible.
There will be many Autumn marriages
and the birth rate will increase, the
seers predict.
Persons whose birth date it is shoNld
avoid all financial risks in the coming
year which will bring temptation to
speculate by the advice Of friends or
relatives. Many of these subjects OF
Virgo care too much for money ana

Children born on that day probably
will have ability In more than one line
of effort. The subjects of this sign are

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 6, 1914. - Washington,
Georgetown and Alexandria were much
relieved today to learn that the hostile
British fleet, which has been in the
Potomac river since the British army
occupied Washington, August "a, and
which was anchored for four days OH
Alexandria, beginning August 20, has
at last dropped down and re-entered
Chesapeake Bay.
This city. however, continues to have
a martial air. President Madison, men,
bers of the cabinet and other Govern
ment officials have returned to their
posts here, but the District militia is
being kept in readiness for action In
case the British army or fleet should
again approach the city. A relay OF
videtteS, or mounted messengers, Is be-
ing maintained along the roads be-
tween Washington and Baltimore and
Richmond to bring to the War Depart
ment the latest intelligence, OF the
enemy's movements.
Secretary of State Monroe. who Is
also serving as Secretary of War, has
established his Office in his house, on
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
between Twentieth and Twenty-f1rst
streets northwest. In the Western
Market. directly opposite his residence,
a company of videttes is stationed.
The only public building which es-
capped the British torch was the Post
Office Department, whose roof, how
ever, was damaged by the storm which
swept over the city while the fires were
still burning. Workmen have already
begun to repair this roof.
The Post Office Department has been
occupying the structure at northeast
corner of Eighth and E streets north
was due to the personal appeal of DR.
the Patent Office, that the British
spared this building. Orders have been
issued to remove the patent models
from the place they occupy in this
structure to make room for the meet
ing of Congress, called in session for
September 49, The fire started by the
British has rendered the Capitol unfit
for use.
The Post Office Department will be
temporarily removed to rented build
ing on the north side of Pennsylvania
avenue a little west of Ninth street
northwest. The post Office, however,
will be allowed to remain in the build
ing during the sessions of Congress.
The other executive departments are
being housed In private buildings rent
ed for the purpose. mostly in the vicin-
ity of the White House. =
The house of Col. John Tayloe, known
as the Octagon House. at the corner of
Eighteenth street and New York ave-
nue., has become the temporary White
House.

and health and character. One may
do what another may not attempt.
One succeeds where another fails under
seemingly similar circumstances. Which
child is to do which daring deed? Who
is to be allowed wide liberty and who
is to be tied down? How can we let
the child experiment and still keep
him safe from harm?
Begin early. Study the child and
know him as he is regardless of his
brother or neighbor, if you can. Then
let him experiment within the range
of his own safety zone. It will widen
as he grows in power and your super
vision and anxiety will grow less and
less until they are replaced by a
happy participation in the young per-
sons interests. That is the best we
can do. This world will never be fool
proof as long as we live in it.

Answer-You are 9 pounds below
average weight for your age and height
and 1 think this accounts for your thin
knees. Try to build yourself up. A good
exercise for the knee is swinging the
lower part of your leg back and forth
rather slowly, bending the knee on the

not wrinkle if your garters were tight
