ful fragrance
ONCE cold meant days of distress-but
now all you need to relieve your cold is
Vapex and few deep breaths.

drop on your handkerchief or at each end
of your pillow, crisp and bracing vapor
wells up. Deep into the nose and throat
it goes, clearing your head, stopping sniff
fling, relieving and refreshing you.
And Vapex is safe. In fact, it is particu'
larly recommended for little children who
seldom take kindly to messy and fussy
remedies. Just put Vapex on their hand
kerchiefs as you send them off to school.
Just put them to bed at night with Vapex
on their pillows.
Always ask for V>A,P>E>X- the original
inhalant discovered during the war. For you
can be sure of its pleasant results and of its
safety. Vapex is very inexpensive. There
are fifty applications in the ST. bottle-an

its pleasantness and safety, Vapex is very
popular. Millions of bottles are sold each
year. It is approved by Good Housekeeping.

At the beginning of the year when
Father Time introduces a new date with
the youthful 1881, is a good occasion to
consider clocks as decorative assets.
Ever since timepieces were constructed
there has been a determined action on
the part of their makers to have them
ornamental. At first this was coupled
with such accuracy of mechanism that
clock whether in tower or On wall
could be relied upon to give correct
time. Then clock was not only a no.
table decorative feature introduced into
home, but it was a luxury command
ing high price.
Without clock the family had to de-
pend on a sundial or an ability to gauge
the time by the sun. In many an old
town the Waterman called out each
hour from high tower or as he went
through the streets To be able to have
timepiece in ones own home was in
deed the height of luxury. Its accuracy
was to be depended upon, and its deco
rative style was one of beauty.
Today the expression "times change"
can be whimSically as well as truthfully
applied to clocks, for in a single home
the various timepieces seldom agree
Even the question of their value as
ornaments is debatable whatever the
sum paid. Let us take it for granted
that when buying clock, its accuracy
has been so well tested, and that its
guarantee is merited. It is for the pur-
chaser to be assured of this first of all.
Scarcely less important is its deco
rative beauty since q clock must be in
plain sight. If It serves its purpose it
must be placed where 1t can be. con-
suited conveniently.
With this idea in mind namely that
the clock is continue lly part of the

itch. call it what you will, is spread by
these micro organisms in places where
people walk barefoot. It is frequently
transmitted through locker and dress
ing rooms, floors of gymnasiums, through
bathing or swimming pools, through
bath mats, and even the floors of pri-
vate homes and hotels.
This infectious fungus cannot fly,
walk or jump. Like the other micro
organisms of communicable disease, it
must be carried from the infected per-
son to the new victim before 1t can do
its work. And, as in every other COM
municable disease, the line Of transmits
sion can BE- broken. Cleanliness intelli-
gently applied is an important barrier
TO the spread Of this trouble.
The ringworm fungus thrives best un-
der conditions Of warmth and moisture;
therefore, it finds an excellent point Of
attack in neglected, sweaty feet. It Is
found most frequently where the skin
between the toes, especially the fourth
and fifth toes. In these areas and on
the toe nails the spores may remain alive
for months, even years. That Is why
reinfection frequently occurs after in
fected areas elsewhere on the body have
been cured. No break in the alxin is
necessary for infection to take place.
After the bath the body should al
ways be dried from head to toes, with
no reversal at any point, lest the fungus
be transmitted by means Of the towel
from the feet or the floor to other parts
Of the body. Always use some kind of
bath mat to stand on that can be
washed and sterilized at regular inter-
walls. Dry well between the toes and
dust with boric acid powder every night
and morning.
Never walk around a swimming pool
gymnasium or locker room floor with
out some kind of footwear. Be sure to
change daily your underclotheS, gym
nasiuIn clothes and golf clothes that
are worn next to the skin. Do not allow
your swimming suit to drop on the floor
while dressing. and wear sandals or
slippers that can be boiled or otherwise
Sterilized.
Wash the feet thoroughly each day
with soap and water, and be sure to dry
between the toes thoroughly. Avoid
walking around in the bare feet and
avoid using bathing suits, towels, gym
nastum toys or anything belonging to
another person. Cleanliness Is an i'm
portant weapon of defense and so add
to every one protection.
Health educators have observed that
in schools lacking modern Aygienic
equipment many students are handi-
capped in their athletic activities be-
cause Of some form of this trouble.
Keep your feet dry and well venti-
lated by wearing the proper shoes. 1t
is advisable to have at least two pairs
on hand and to wear them alternately.
Change your stockings every day.

SUB ROSA
BY VIRGINIA vANE.

F. F.-When young man Is casual
about the date of his wedding it's up to
the girl who loves him, and who is
engaged to him, and who has every
right to expect definite information
from him, to become businesSlike about
matters.
There is no reason in the world why
you should feel shy and awkward about
discussing plans with the man who has
asked you to marry him. If he prefers
to be vague and hazy about it all, you
can just bring him up short. You have
a right to know whether or not he in
tends to marry you before the year is
out, since he himself has suggested a
date, even though he has apparently
forgotten the whole trivial affair.
If you start out in the direction of
marriage with all this self-conscious-
ness in your makeup, you're not going
to be a first-claSs wife. You're never
going to feel completely sure of any
husband, or completely comfortable with
him, If you begin by showing that you're
afraid to talk to him definitely about
plans for your own wedding.
He has certainly showed lack of con-
Sideration in his manner, and 1t isn't
necessary for you to sit meekly waiting
for him to decide whether or not he
intends TO marry you on the appointed
date. This is a situation in which you
should have the upper hand. You say
that it will make you feel cheap to
breach the subject to him again, but
actually it ought to make you feel cheap
to be afraid to breach the subject.
have taken up some space with this
question because your attitude, r. F., is
typical of too many girls. There are
too many fair maidens who are afraid
to talk things over with the men they're
going to marry-afraid to discuss money
for fear of seeming afraid
to discuss plans for home for fear of
seeming too eager for domestic COM
forts-afraid to talk over hundred and
one important things which ought to be
decided before marriage for fear Of
seeming unmaidenly.
And now you're afraid to find out
whether your fiance proposes to marry
you on the date he set for his wedding.
Just get rid of that shy feeling here
and now and show that you're a per-
sc uality to be reckoned with, not o
meek little handmaiden who waits
quietly until her lord and master de-
cides when he will marry her. Stick
up for yourself right now and find out
a few facts.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Health is the foundation of all happi-
ness. Upon 1t depends the mental at
tttudeS OF the human being who is
striving to keep his place in this world.
Those mental ATTITUDES reflect them
selves in the conduct, in every action.
Every action modif1es the thought and
therefore the self. It is not possible
from body. The health of each is de-
pendent upon the other, is equally i'm
portant.
We are learning to guard the physical
health Of the children a little better
than we used to do. Public nursing,
clinics, mothers clubs, earnest physi-
clans, enlightened boards Of education,
boards Of health. all contribute to the
education of the mothers and fathers so
that our children are being well cared
for physically. But the mental side of
the child is not so well guarded. People
do not know so much about that and
great deal of what they have heard is
not as dependable as it might be- The
new phraSeS-complexes, conditioned
emotions, and the like belong to the
experts, not to everybody who chooses
to be modern. No child should be
psycho-analyzed unless a highly quail
fled and responsible person attached to
some approved hospital, orders it.
Lie DcSL way 10 Keep our CIlllQTeIl
mentally fit is to allow them to live
simple. peaceful, happy lives. Easier
said than done, but it can be done, If
we mean 1t shall be done. We can, far
more Of us than do, rear our children in
the suburbs rather than the city. We
can even get into the open country If
we make a great effort. That immedi-
ately removes a load from the childs
mind. Noise and dirt and overstimula-
ton Of many sorts are eliminated.
Clean, fresh air, fine play place,
healthy companionship, happier asso-
Citations. become possible, at least to a
greater extent than in a crowded city.
The family attitude is always in the
control Of the parents. If they decide
that for the child's mental health the
atmosphere shall be harmonious, that
no pickering, no scolding, no confusion,
is to be known in the home, the chill
dren will stand a good chance of being
healthy minded. If, then, the schedule
Of living for the children is set toward
simplicity and healthy activity, IL dress
and food and entertainment are kept on
the scale of living that fits into this
idea of simplicity, they have still bet
ter chance.
When a child Of 9 announces in loud
tones that he Is going to the movies
tonight and makes a scene because he
is told he cannot: when a child lapses
| into sulky gloom because he feels him
self neglected; when he flies into rage
because he feels thwarted; when he
keeps putting his undisciplined self be-

having it contribute to the good effect
will be recognized. To suit the various
types of rooms, all sorts of styles of
clocks have been devised. In the midst
of such diversity, 1t Is not surprising
that some styles are good, some medic
ere, and others actually bad. But it is
also true that the wrong placing of a
clock may make it clash with q decora-
tive scheme and make it appear to be
poor in style when 1t Is not.
For example an antique colonial
grandfather's or grandmother's clock
in a modern boudoir or one done in the
dainty French style of the Louis, is in
congruous, and boudoir clock, how
ever choice, if in a nall, is amusing.
These are radical examples that ably
serve to show wrong placements. BY
reversing their positions good decorative
effects are gained.
In the matter of styles to be chosen,
good taste has to be the criterion.
Classic types are safe and have recog-
nized beauty. Banjo clocks are favoriteS
in wall clocks, and reproductions of
shelf banjo clocks are distinctive. Shelf
clocks are endless in styles of quality.
It is in the small desk, boudoir and
novelty clocks that modern diversity
excels. If a purchaser refrains from
getting extreme novelties in these and
selects simple lines for floor clocks and
mantel clocks; and if she selects banjo
clocks for walls in the main rooms of
house, she cannot go far astray Con-
slider the general decorative style Of the
room colonial, French, italian, crafts
man. etc., and suit the style to this gem
eral trend. Then the clock can be re-
lied upon to lend its ornamental eie-
ment to furthering the best lndecora-
lion.
