Milk Treatment.

The dry, sensitive skin that becomes
red and chapped when exposed 10 wind
and weather is a serious problem at this
season of the year. Some women hesi-
tate TO use facial creem ms on such skins
for fear OF enlarging the pores or caus-
ing growths Of supernuous hair Yet it
Is absolutely necessary to apply some
sort Of oily substance TO dry skins to
keep them smooth and avoid premature
wrinkles.
A special facial treatment once q
week, in addition to the daily use OF
cold cream both as q cleanser and as
q powder base, will do much toward
keeping the tender, dry complexion in
good condition.
After binding a folded towel firmly
about the hair, the next step is TO APP
ply olive oil or a special cleansing Oil
to the face and neck with q cotton
swab. There is no steaming with hot
towels in this treatment. Wipe OF the
oil with a clean soft cloth or with It's
sue squares. Then dip the fingers in a
cleansing cream and give a patting
massage all over the face and neck.
Use plenty Of cream and then wipe 1t
of as before.
A gentle massage with an almond
food cream follows. Muscle oil Is pat
ted on the eye and mouth wrinkles.
Two pads of clean absorbent cotton are
moistened in boric acid solution and
laid on the closed eyes.
The skin is now ready for the pack
made OF three tablespconfuls OF al

Happy New Year i'm the Home
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

era, for that consists in setting a table
that is full of dishes that are different,
in entertaining in ways that are novel,
and at which some Of these odd dishes
form the refreshments. Nor does 1t
consist in decorating house or having
it decorated in the latest mode of
fashion. 1t goes far deeper than these
things which are the outward and
material expressions of homemaking
included under the business manage
ment.
The making OF a home in its truest
sense consists, first of all, in giving
to the atmosphere of the house that
elusive element of happiness that is as
important to the spiritual and mental
we'll being of personalities as Is pure
fresh air essential to the life of the
body. The combination Of these ell
ements fosters good health, physicians
now agree.
1t is the wife and mother who. more
than any other member of a family,
instills the happiness element into the
home. The husband and the children
recognize such a home as haven,
because within its walls there is peace.
There Is just one way in which a
woman can succeed in making such
home and that is by giving herself
to 1t with all her heart. 1t is a cause
deserving of the finest work q woman
can give. 1t will bring a Happy New
Year to those around her, and bring
that wonderful happiness to her that
comes from an earnest effort in the
best of causes.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The White House Conference en-
phasized child care and parental
knowledge as vitality important to the
welfare Of all nations. This offlcial
recognition has given the mother a
greater incentive than before to acquire
all the available knowledge in this year
Of 1881.
Children are undoubtedly the same
today In original equipment as they
have always been, but, since we have
made their care and training a parental
profession instead of a Heaven-Sent
duty, they are no longer such n1yS-
teries to their parents. 1t is becoming
increasingly more difficult for the
parent to say, Il can't imagine why
sonny acts as he does" for, If she
has been studying and taking to heart
the vast amount OF literature written
about sons and daughters, she knows
fairly well what makes him act as he
does
All normal children go through
phases of growth and development and
exhibit characteristic reactions to
characteristic home and school situa-
tons. 1t becomes the duty of each
mother to know what these situations
with the reactions wisely and under
standingly when they arrive.
The feeding of the infant has be-
come SO standardized that from one
end of the country to the other, ir-
respective OF climate or individual
homes, babies are having their orange
juice, their cod liver OIL, their cereals
and vegetables and milk formulas with
an almost monotonous uniformity.
Such agreement of ideas gives the
mother the faith to pursue a method
of feeding that is no doubt strange to
her, and certainly strange to her
mother.
It would be equally soothing to the
parent II there were some uniformity
Of opinion among authorities about the
methods of handling behavior problems.
In 1880 or thereabouts John Locke
wrote . book discussing phases Of edu-
cation, and expressed the opinion that
Children should be taught how to
think and not what to think" He
likewise disparaged the use 0f the rod
as q means Of teaching the child the
joys of conformity TO adult standards
Of conduct.
This may come as q shock TO those
parents who feel that we, who see
nothing magical in the use of spank
ing as punishment, are expressing
very young and untried opinion. If
this is not a new opinion by 400 years,
1t is as new to each new crop OF parents
IS II it had never been heard of before.
There is much still to be learned
about children and, more important,
what is learned must be put into prac-
tice. So long as we have criminals,
racketeers and the insane. we are not
doing our full duty and rearing our
children to be happy, useful and adapt
ed to their particular sphere Of So
ciety. We cannot be SNUG or content
with what we know, or inhospitable
to new ideas, however revolutionary,
until we have brought about q more
ideal state of affairs. Each new mother
of 1891 bears q burden of responsibility
to her child and society, and she can't
fulfill it until she has made use OF
every available source Of information to
build up her knowledge of children.

For lack Of q better word, dreSsmakers

sort of dress decoration made from the
material from which the dress is made.
To the clever dressmaker this sort OF
trimming is often chosen because it
adds a certain needed note OF elabora-
ton without detracting from the essen
tial simplicity OF the dress. To the
home dressmaker IL makes q strong
appeal because it gives finish to the
dress at little or no expense.
The bertha collar shown here Il one
Of the new sorts Of self trimming. It
consists of an arrangement OF small
flower shaped pieces cut from the
material of which the dress Is made.

rights in the famous invention
valued at more than $15,000,000

Jenkins, it was charged, en-

described as wine mixed with
beer"
Such a statement borders on
the sacrilegious, in the opinion
of the Rev. Calvert E. Buck
superintendent of the Episcopal
Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital
The Rev. Buck said.
what was given to Christ on
the cross was not wine and beer
but vinegar and gall. This was
certainly not a beverage in any
sense of the word, nor was it
an intOxicant.
ut is exceedingly far fetched
and almost a sacriIegiOus idea
to apply it to the vagarieS of
modern prohibition"
No Beer Brewed Then
The Rev. Father Tennelly, rec,
tor of the Sulpician Seminary, a
noted Biblical scholar, also de.
clared that such an Interpretation
is erroneous. For one thing, he
said, there was no beer brewed
in Palestine.
Speaking from the purely his.
torical side, Father Tennelly
pointed out that in Palestine
wine was drunk, but that beer
was the drink of the Teutonic
peoples to the north.
The drink offered Christ was
not an intoxicant, Father Ten
nelly said, and can not be con.
ceived to be one in any tranSla,
ton of the Bible, Catholic or
Protestant.
Calls 1t "AbSurd"
The pastor of one of the largest
Protestant churches in the city
branded the statement of the clip
sheet as utterly absurd and false
He pointed out that Matthew,
Mark and John all state that the
drink offered was vinegar and

Roman law to all criminals con,
demned to death by crucifixion to
deaden the final pains.
