girls took train to Albany, only three
hours away, but on the road to the
Pacific. There they got cheap room
and set out to look for a job. Being
expert stenographers, they got work at
once as substitutes. They worked two
weeks and earned enough to get to
Buffalo.
In Buffalo they repeated the program.
Each time they'd work few weeks,
take a couple of days to see the town
and then go On. Thus they worked all
the way to California. They found
California so different from the rest of
the country that they stayed there six
months, working all over the State.
BY that time they were thoroughly
tired out and the thought of working
their way back again in the same
manner filled them with dread. So
they saved enough money to come
back on the train. Some nights they
sat up all night and other nights they
slept two in a berth. They arrived in
New York triumphant, If tired.
Then they began to lay plans for
going to Paris. That didn't work so
well. In the trip across to California
they had little competition, but there
were thousands of girls eager to work
for almost nothing in order to live in
Paris. They had to give that up. One

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE


In England some good physicians
have found that snuffing o pinch of
powdered soap, plain toilet soap, just
as a snuff user would take snuff, Is
good practice to clear the nasal pas
SageS each morning. In some schools
all children with adenoids or enlarged
tonsils are regularly put through a
morning nose clearing exercise, with
the aid Of o snuff Of soap powder.
Numerous readers of this column
assure me that they have obtained
great benefit from snuffing once or
twice daily q small pinch Of boric acid
powder, particularly in cases Of chronic
rhinitis and perhaps in some cases
of chronic SinusitiS, where there is
constantly more or less occlusion Of
the nasal passages by boggy swelling
and thick secretions. do not %ciieve
this snuffing Of boric acid Is harmful.
Some people SNUFF salt water into the
nose. This Is Objectionable. In some
cases it may be helpful to irrigate the
nasal passages with luke warm weak
sale water (round teaspoonfuls to the
pint, letting the solution run in one
nostril from blunt nozzle and syringe
or reservoir hung not more than q
foot above the head, and out through
the opposite nostril which it does with
out entering the throat when the
patient learns to hold the throat in the
position for pronouncing "k." This
irrigation Is often Of great value in the
treatment of serious nasal and throat
infections in infants.

Clearing Nasal Chambers.

The common practice of blowing the
pose in a double -barreled fashion is
harmful, for it tends to initiate the eu-
stachian tubes, which connect the rear
of the nasal passage with the ear cav
ity just inside the eardrum, q pea-sized
space in the temporal bone where the
famous hammer. anvil and stirrup are
housed. Frequent blowing of both sides
of the nose at once, with q handker-
chief and perhaps preliminary pinch
ing of the noStrilS, not only blows air
under pressure into the ear cavity, or
into the eustachian tube, but Is likely
to drive infective material from the
nasal passages up into the tube, or ear
cavity, and set up inflammation there.
This is particularly liable to happen
when there is an acute coryza, or rhi-
nitiS.
The right wey to blow the nose is
simpler and easier. Only trouble is
the right way Is less noisy. and some
folks confuse Sneezing and blowing the
nose in respect to the reverberations
associated. 1t is not bad hygiene when
you sneeze to SneeZe heartily and with
plenty OF sound; it is bad hygiene to
suppress a snee0e. When you sneeze
make it good and hearty. When you
blow your nose blow one side at a time
and that done well. That is, close one
nostril by pressure of the thumb while
you are clearing out the opposite nostril.

Corduroy Is an old-time favorite that
has come back into fashion. It Is now,
as formerly, cotton velvet with ridges
or cords-a comparatively inexpensive
material with unusual durability. Even
during the years when dressmakers ig-
nored it, it was used for practical chill
dren's clothes and the more serviceable
sort of sports clothes, but this season
it has been given a place of real dis
tinction by smart dressmakers.
1t is q great favorite on the college
campus, for 1t makes a smart, wear
able knockabout dress that girls appre-
ciate. 1t doesn't wrinkle and it sheds
dust easily and it has enough body to
stand up under really hard wear.
Jacket dresses Of this fabric are es-
pecially smart.
