POtpOurri Jars and Mixtures

tons for making and recipes have
come la from women who have saved
rose petals until they have a sufficient
quantity to make the potpourri. Two
recipes. with directions. are given to-
day. One uses rose leaves as the basis

If the flower petals are difficult to
obtain, use them in dried or powdered
form. Some can be had from chemists
and some from grocery stores. The
proportions must be decidedly smaller.
Keep the mixture tightly covered for
six weeks or more to "ripen."
Gather all flowers and buds that

Stamps.

Stamps are great things. Just think
how easy and how inexpensive it is
for you and me to send letters to our
friends far across the continent or even
over the sea.
Letter-writing, in times gone by, used
to be a fairly expensive luxury. The
writer of an epistle had to write small
and refrain from penning too many
pages for fear of making the letter too
thick. Every ounce and fraction of
an ounce" as the Post ONCE Depart
ment says, added to the cost.
Besides, the recipient was the one in
those days to count out the pennies
when the postman appeared, which is
quite different from our present system.
SO if you weren't careful he might not
find your letter worth the price.
Our Nation is held together, not by
masses of land or strips of steel rails,
not by wires overhead or pipes under
ground. but by strips of thin paper with
figures and faces. The gum on the
stamp makes us all neighbors, and your
invalid friend in California is as near
postally to you in New York as your
neighbor across the street.
When, in 1870, Germany sought to
become a unified nation, nothing caused
more trouble than the stamps in the
case. Everybody but the postmasters
nation was obliged to content itself
with more than one system of postage.
The eagles of Prussia and the horses
of Bavaria were each supreme in their
own spheres.
Now, one stamp we all need is
character. If you have character you
can travel east or west, north or south,
as though you were in your own home
town. If you have not it, you are
headed for the dead-letter Office.
But this character must be something
more than moral restraint: it must be
positive stamp which will carry you
from coast to coast. Without the stamp
of character, you cannot get very far;
you travel not by mail-train, but by
pony-post.
Life itself has character. Men are
something more than machines and
cash registers. If a man is really man
and really does things, he has charac-
ter. Instinct is not enough, if the
stamp of instinct is the only one you
have, then the letter of your life has
insufficient postage.

Don't Worry About Germs.

How can you reconcile your position
on the question of germs travelling in
the air with the statement underlined
in the clipping inclosed?-R. K. V.
Answer-The clipping refers to
warning issued by one who asserts that
lipStick on the lips acts as trap for
any germs in the air, and SO becomes
what We doctors would call contra-in-
diction of kissing. That's all baloney.
But understand some of the girls now
use mercurochome in place of rouge,
and that, if true, would tend to make
the game safer. Seriously, 1 believe
there is less risk of contracting disease
through kissing lips coated with lip
stick than there is in taking kiss
straight. The lipstick would tend to
impede the direct transfer of germs.
AS for any germs caught by such trap
from the air, one need not let that
thought disturb him. There is no
scientific evidence that disease is ever
spread through the air.

To Keep Cheese.

If cheese is exposed to the air. it is
apt to mold. To prevent this, wrap the
cheese in a cloth saturated with vine-
gar, being careful that the entire sur
face is covered for if two pieces of
cheese touch each other mold is likely
to form. If limburger cheese is
wrapped in a cloth dipped in vinegar.

BEAUTY LI1Al - BY EDNA KENT FORBES

you choose the kind of diet that does
not build up extra weight. Starch
sugar. and oils of any kind are what
make up the fatty tissues. and while
some are needed, if you are too stout,
YOU may easily get rid of the excess by
limiting the amount of any of the foods
that contain these.
M w: 1t is much better to leave
the hair alone on your arms than to
use depilatories, or shave to get rid of
the hair temporarily. Such methods
increase the growth and cearsen those
you have. Any hair will weaken after
repeated applications of peroxide, SO
it is worth the trouble to try this out
as some little help toward the improve
nent. If the hair is dark, the peroxide
will bleach it, and it will hardly be
seen.

Health Beauty and Shoes.

Statistics which are frequently wrong,
claim that none out of every ten people
have some form of foot trouble caused
by bad methodSpor Walking had choice
of shoes, or general neglect OF very
minor troubles. Whatever the percent
age of foot trouble this much at least
is true-delicate nerves in the feet are
directly connected with the nerves III
the leg, which are in contact with
nerves in the spine, which is. of course,
the center for all the nerves in the
body-that is. your nerves are sort
of telephone system, and your spine
central switchboard. Foot troubles,
therefore, can affect the health Of the
entire body.
If you suffer from any type of pain
whose origin you don't know, see If you
can trace it to your feet. Id advise
you as an experiment to spend as much
time as you can without shoes, taht is,
if you do housework. go about your
house with loose and almost heelleSS
soft house slippers on: for choice Indian
mocasinS or felt house slippers. The
foot is not confined or pressed upon in
any way. See if you are free from
these pains while you work. Also when
YOU buy new shoes buy them with lower
heels and with a rounder toe than
you have been used to.
Painful feet will keep you from being
beautiful. So will ugly feet. The worst
foot trouble that you can have is a
bunion. This is not a growth as some
people think 1t is bad displacement
of several delicate bones where the big
toe meets the main arch OF the foot.
These bones can be worked back in
place. 1 know that an osteopath can
do it, and am sure that a really skilled
chiropodist or pediatrist can do it too
You can do a lot yourself by wearing
shoes with round toes and straight
inside line to the sole. should advise
you to write to the National Association
for Foot Health, Rockland, Mass, who
will send you any amount Of literature
and advice.

Harriet Ann: Your eyebrows will ap-
pear much darker in color if you rub
a little oil on them every day. A fine
grade of olive oil is good for this pur-
pose.
If the warts are on your face or
neck, better leave them alone unless
you can have a doctor remove them for
you. The small warts that come and
go on the hands of some people are
easily removed by tying a piece of
white silk thread around them close to
the skin. They usually dry up and drop
off after a few days.
