WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
LIMESTONE BROTH
BY GERALD GRIFFIN

Gerald Griffin; 1sos-4o. was an Irish
My father went once upon a time
about the country in the idle season,
seeing If he could make a penny at all
by cutting hair or setting (sharpening)
rashure (razors), or penknives, or any
other job that would fall in his way.
Weel an good. He was one day walk
ing alone in the mountains of Kerry,
without a haip'ny (halfpenny) in his
pocket (for though he Travelled afoot, it
cost him more than he earned, an
knowing there was but little love for a
County Limerick man in the place
where he was, AN being half persisted
with the hunger, an evening drawing
nigh, he didn't know well what to dol
with himself till morning.
Very good He went along the wild
road, an If he did he soon sees a farm
house at little distance o. one side

curling up out of the chimney an all
tokens of good living inside. Well, some

So they put down the pot an the

Very good. Well. by an by, when the

Even If stockings are not discarded

hosiery is so thin that skin roughness
is all too apparent. Some of my read
ers complain of blachheads and small
red pimples on the legs. These blem-
ishes are the result of neglect in most
cases, and 1t requires series of rene
dies to remove them. At bedtime the
skin should be steamed with hot towels
To do this wiring out large Turkish
towel in hot water and wrap it firmly
around the legs. Before it cools replace
it with another hot towel. Repeat four
times. On removing the towel the last
time rub cold cream or olive oil on the
skin at once. This will soften and
loosen the blackheads. Wipe off the
cream with clean, dry piece of cloth.

A garden basket is important. These

straps each filled with the proper tool

that have such an equipped garden
basket. Some women even prefer a
lighter type of basket unlined and hav-
ing the tools of her special choosing,
and usually of her special preference of
make.
Among the tools there should always
be found trowel, kept sharpened at
the tip; soil loosener, which reminds
one Of a tiny, Stubby pitchfork: a
pruning hook, pair of clippers, garden
shears and sharp knife. To these can
be added many other tools Of basket
size
A spade selected for its size should
not be so large that 1t is unwieldy in
woman'S hands. There should also be
an iron rake and sickle. To these, as
was the case with the basket tools, each
woman will want to add implements OF
her own choice.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRFD.

Mrs. T. S. H. writes: II would like
to offer a few suggestions that have
found helpful. My baby had the
f1nger-sucking habit. I had to keep
something over her fingers all the time.
Finally 1 bought a larger-siZed sweater
and nightieS, so that 1 could pull the
sleeves down over her hands and pin
on the floor she is too busy to suck
her finger, so / let her have full use
Of them. Now at other times l slip
a stocking foot over her hand and
pin it in place.
Il have taken the baby outdoors in
all kinds of weather. Now she shows
her appreciation by jumping up and
down in my arms when she sees that
she is going out. 1 use piece Of
rubber goods under her chin in order
to protect her dress from getting wet
when I give her liquids. / keep her
carriage out In the garage and thus save
pulling 1t up and down stairs. Do the
cheesecloth and sugar bag diapers men
toned in the department. wear Well?"
Answer--MoSt mothers do find the
cotton mitt or sock slipped on over the
hand one of the best methods of break
ing the Misunderstanding habit in a
young baby. The older child is apt to
suck both thumb and covering, if the
habit has been of long duration. The
solution arrives when the child Is old
enough to take an interest IN more
active amusementS. If he continues
to find Solace in his thumb. find out
why he is so bored or uninterested in
healthier activities.
Sugar bag tea-towels are so eminent
ly satisfactory that there Is no reason
to believe they would wear out quickly
in diaper form. I imagine cheesecloth
ones would wear well too.

Noses.


What about your nose? Is 1t a nice
one? If it isn't, there are things to be
done, even to noses, to improve them.
This is a practical chat on methods and
ways to deal with an imperfect nose.
First, its complexion. That must be
perfect, and can be. If the pores are
coarse, here's the treatment. Buy a
small tin of the gritty white soap paste
half. with ordinary cleansing cream.
Wash the face so as to remove all pow
der, with plain warm water, but no
soap Rub in small amount of this
paste, gently, and let it stay on the
skin only minute or two. Such rub
bling as you do should be around the
noStrils, where the pores are largest
Rinse out with hot water until every
bit Of the paste. and the dirt 1t takes
up. is gone. Rinse with cold water to
close the pores and use ice on the nose
If convenient. As this treatment may
be too drying, rub on cleansing cream
as a lubricant, but only after the pores
have been shrunk and tightly closed by
the cold.
A red nose or a swollen nose comes
from indigestion, thick blood, or i'm
perfection circulation. Blood purifying
tonics, proper diet, laxatives, are the
best correctives. And massaging and
tapping the nose all over with the fin
ger tips, will start this blood circulate
ing more freely and relieve this conges-
ton almost at once. Remember that
the circulation is more sluggish here
than anywhere else.
The soap paste treatment is also good
for a shiny nose. as this takes out the
extra oiliness. A mllder treatment is
to make a paste with starch and cold
water, rub this on and let it dry, and
then rinse off after half an hour.
Powdered oatmeal is good for this, too.
Dot and Al--The girl of feet, 10
inches. at 10 years of age, should weigh
about los pounds; the other one at 18
years, S feet, inches, should weigh
from ITO to 112 pounds. A little more
or less would not matter much at this
age as it is still in the growing period.
M. IA healthy girl Of 81 years
should have no need for tissue build
ing cream. There is no special age for
girls to begin to use cosmetics or any
other SO called aids to beauty. When
you need such helps, you will know it,

gin to use these props. 1 am not allud-
