GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
BY Alicia Hart


A well QUILTED bathroom can
make the daily bath a real JOY.
And, speaking OF "o1tfitted' we
don't mean fixtures Of shining
metal or landscapes on the walls.
Things you use when you take
a bath are the items to which we
refer.
Huge cakes of soap are really
more economical than those Of
medium size. And they're much
more fun to use. Rough wash
cloths and a long handled bath
brush should always be hanging
within reach of the person who is
taking a bath.
Bath mitts are real luxuries.
And, with Christmas SO near, you
might put in your bid for a box of
them. They are simply powdered
soap in a little bag OF turkish
toweling. Moisten the mitt and
rub your body with 1t instead of
using cake of soap and a wash
cloth.
Both ensembles assure you Of
non-conflicting perfumed doors. If
your soap and bath salts are the
same scent as your bath powder.
the effect will be more pleasing
The same is true of toilet water.
Many prefer toilet water to bath
powder, and others use both. But
for the sake Of your guests 1t is a
good idea to have a little jug OF
toilet water in the guest bath.
room. Bath oil sometimes takes
the place of bath salts. A few
drops Of IL soften and perfume the
hardest water.
Why not invest some Of your
beauty budget money in bathroom
luxuries and see for yuorself how
pleasant the daily bath can be?

The syndicates or organizations
Of the Observation-Disclosures in France
are engaged in a battle, which will
probably be a losing fight, against
the syndicates of nonmedical dem
lists who are trying to get the legal
right to use the title Doctor" for
the sake of the prestige the title
still holds for the public in France.
In this country almost any one
may call himself" Doctor" and a
large portion of the population will
never question his honesty.
In this country dentists have
legal right to make business or
professional use of the title "Doc-
tor" for all they can get out of 1t.
So have veterinary physicians, cler-
gymen who have the d. D. degree,
certain professors, certain lawyers,
and a few high class crooks. Each
after his kind and in his own
sphere Of activity. When any of
these owners of doctorate degrees
chooses to depart from his acknow-
lodged field and invade some
branch of healing, then 1t becomes
at least a moral deception If he
uses or flaunts his trick title in a
manner calculated to suggest to the
gullible public that he is a physi-
clan.
I hold that this applies to dem
lists in many instances. For ex-
ample, a certain obscure dentist,
legally qualified even If he no long
er practices dentistry, conceived q
notion that some complaint which
troubled him might be due to the
use of aluminium ware for cooking
his food. He became obsessed with
this fancy, and eventually-well,
certain trade interests saw in the
fellows notion a great opportunity
to damage competitors business
and promote their own sales. So
the renegade dentsti became the

ment of these brigands. All his

Never does the slick dentist confess
that he is dentist. His employers

SRYOUR
CHILDREN
Avoid Chilling BABY I'm
CooIinr Room

OUUllmS Room
Mothers OF babies are often DUE
zled about the problems of tenn
perature for the nursery. What
should it be during the day and
Just how cool should 1t be at night :?
To begin with, grown-ups cannot
go very much by their own feel
may be too hot or too cold for us
Is all right for them, or vice versa.
The only way to do is to get a
thermometer and hang it, in the
nursery about three feet from the
floor. 1t is just as well to have one
in each room where the baby may
be taken during the day. Then you
know what you are doing.
A new baby needs a, room tenn
perature of about 20 degrees both
day and night. II he is not any
too strong or well 1t may even be
bit higher. The doctor will tell
you. In little while he may have
his night temperature reduced by
ten degrees or SO but no more.
Guard Against Chilling
AS he gets still older the day
temperature may be best at about
6S degrees. But again it depends
on how well he is. If there il to
be discussion about two degrees
better up than down think. How
ever, it is not advisable to keep a
baby in too warm a room.
OF course the bathroom, or
wherever he gets his daily dows-
ing, should be very warm and COM
Portable. Extra care should be
taken that he does not chill. It is
also quite important not to let him
get into a heavy sweat and then
with all his pores open carry him
into a much cooler room.
He should be dried thoroughly,
head and all, and dressed COM
pletely before being removed to
another temperature. Also, the
temperature of the last room
should be warm too, and gradually
cooled off to regular heat. Don't
put him outside to sleep immedi-
ately after his bath, or beside an
open window. Give him q little
time first.
Naturally these matters must be
governed by judgment. The idea
is not to change temperatures too
quickly either night or day. And
as ] say, the condition Of the baby
must always be taken into ac-
count.
Night Temperatures
Older babies and young children
can stand a greater reduction of
temperature at night as a rule
than the new little brother or sis
ter, but not more than 5 to Is
degrees less than daytime. l
think we sometimes go in for a
certain hardening" process that
is not wise. If we could aim Some-
where around As or SO degrees at
night it would be ideal, but Old
Man Weather frequently has
something to say about 1t himself.
All little folks need warm night
les, warm covers, protection from
drafts by screens or ventilators
and dry beds. Sheets and blankets
should be aired after laundering.
In lifting the baby at night don't
expose him to cold air. 1t is we'll
to have g. warm room to take him
to. Night chilling is never a safe
thing. Feel his hands and feet
il they are warm you may know
he is warm. If they are cold put
on more covers or turn on more
heat, or slip hot-water bottle
into his bed. If he Is a very little
baby his night thermometer should
register about so. Or If he Is bran
new, 20 degrees.

how obvious had bene his fathers
efforts to make things easier for

there was no way to get beyond

Der.
Friday morning came. 1t proved
to be the strangest. most unac-
countable day in all Joan's 20
years. And she was sure, being
honest with herself, that it was to
be one of the happiest days she
had known, too.
She felt free. No more con-
science. She had never been more
light hearted than she was as she
packed the pretty clothes bought
for herself into Pats steamer
trunk.
| Joan, you're sure you don't

her impetuous rushes across the

1t was hard for Pat to realize
what had happened, hard for her
to believe that Joan actually
didn't want to marry Barney. just
as Barney did not want to marry
Joan.
Then there was the matter of
