has been king. Jealously may be so indelibly stamped on his mind and heart that the scar will remain to color his conduct all his days.
 After all, 1t is pretty heart-break- ing business to be supplanted by stranger when you're only big enough to it in Q cradle yourself. To be moved out of mothers room, shushed when you want to use your lungs, and sent on errands upstairs and down, all for someone who might just as well have stepped in of the street for all you care-it's rather 6 jolt.
 And to have daddy come in with out noticing you, and jump upstairs three steps at e time, to make Q big fuss over mother and that creature in the crib, Is incredible. Only a week or two ago he was grabbing you and acting as though you were the finest thing living. He called you Major" and stood up for you when mama tried to get you to bed on time. Now he tries as hard as any one to get you out of the way. Why he even fooled you into going over to drandma's that day, knowing very well that before you came back they intended to sneak in new boy In your place.

 One who is determined to keep her hands and wrists young and supple through the years might do these exercises regularly:
 Let arms hang relaxed ct sides. Bend elbows, but keep them close to your hips and bring hands upward in front of you. Now make believe that you are shaking water from fingertips. Shake them vigorously, letting fingers snap together. Re- peat ten times.
 Now ciench your fists and hold them against your chest. swing arms outward, strengthening fingers as you do SO. This Is good for arms as well as fingers.
 Place your elbows on Q low table, relax wrists and fingers, and, With out moving elbows, describe circles with your hands. Bend hands back ward as far as possible, then for ward. Repeat fifteen times.
 In addition to doing limbering exercises, use hand lotions and spe- clal cuticle cream faithfully. Also, have e weekly manicure and change your nail polish ct least once be- tween manicures. Hands respond more quickly to conscientious care than any other part of your body.

Besides the three kinds of salts or saline cathartics mentioned as fit to have in the medicine cupboard Epson salts (magnesiurn sulphate), |, solution of magnesium citrate (lax- ative lemonade), Seidlitz powders there are numerous other medicines of this class having more or less merit as aperients or purgatives. For example the natural waters of many mineral springs, or such wa- ters concentrated by partial evap- oration and bottled for the market, or the salts obtained from the wa- ters, or the spring waters fortihed by the addition of common salts and bottled. The use of such inin- eral waters or their crystals or salts for any other purpose than physic had better be left to the physicians, who, just between ourselves, know little enough about the effects upon the body,s mineral reserve or bal- Shce.
 Certain deeply grounded notions, originally medical concepts but long since discarded by the profession, probably account for the abuse of salts by the laity. Thus the belief is still prevalent and widely ex- plotted by nostrum vendors that such medicines "clean out" the system, rid the body of mysterious toxic wastes" clear the blood of impurities, clear the complexion, restore function to e presumptive torpid" liver, thin the blood keep down or bring down high blood pressure and even reduce obesity or prevent accumulation of super fiuous flesh from overeating and lack of exercise. In line with the last notion is the vicious suggestion that the evil effects of excesses in eating and drinking may be evaded or prevented-intemperance made safe tor sophomorons-by the sirn- pie expedient of taking dose or two of this or that saline cathartic next morning.
 The way in which any saline cathartic or laxative acts is, as al. ready explained in reference to Ep-

NO one with even an elementary knowl- edge of physiology can secriously entertain the notion that frequent, periodic or habitual use Of such physic is in any way beneficial to health.
 Serious untoward effects of var- ious medicines used as ingredients in popular stomach, bowel ard liver" pills, herb teas and "regulat- ing" tablets would require too much space merely to mention here. These unconsidered by.effects are described in "The Constipation Habit" which booklet will be mailed on request if you enclose ten cents and Q stamped envelope bearing your address. After all we are here dealing with remedies that have Q place in the family medicine cup- board.
 By years of practice I learned that patients generally get along rather better without preliminary saline catharsis than they do when that venerable treatment is pre-. scribed.

WOMAN,S REALM
WE, THE WOMEN CO-Eds' Ideas Of Men Are
 Superficial
By RUTH MILLETT

When dormitory bull sessions turn to "ideal men" there are always a few disagreements on minor points but the qualities that make a man ideal to an l8 or 2O-year-old college girl run about like this:
 He should be tall. (where danc- ing is e favorite pastime, height takes on great importance.)
 He ought to be Q good dancer. (Few college girls reason enough to realize that dancing plays a minor part in the social life of married people.)
 He should be intelligent enough so that his wife looks up to him.
 He should have Q sense of hu- mor. (what kind is never suggest ed--but "sense of humor" always has a place on the list)
 It would add to his attractive ness if he happens to smoke Q pipe.
 He should be reasonably good looking.
 That just about finishes the list It is when college is over and the co-ed has married the ideal man" that she sees how funny that list really is.
 Marriage teaches her that women don't Hook up to" the men they marry.
 That Q wife would much rather have her husband play a decent game of bridge and know how tt mix a good cocktail than be tho best dancer in town.
 That e mans height isn't nearly as important as his ability to carr e living.
 That the better looking he il the more he has to be flattered, ant the fussier he is about his clothes.
 What then would Q wife's qualia' cations for an ideal man be? Int answer is-a wife knows there ism any such thing. So she leaves tha' kind of day dreaming to the college girl who has time for it Copyright 1888, NEA Service, Incl

Growing boys like luSty, sea-go- Ing atmosphere. If you are refur- nishing the boys room this fall, why not consider patterning 1t after ships quarters-built-in lockers, Q couple of sturdy canvas covered chairs, sleeping hunks, one above the other, and e real rope ladder to mount to the upper one, boatish- looking lamps, clock, compass and weather glass, and a marine blue linoleum on the floor with 0 nauti- cal emblem inset. The boys will want to choose ships flags them- selves. And if they are proper little tars, they'll always keep their cabin shipshape.
