GlOrting Yourself
Q Ahcia HaEs

Its an excellent idea to try to conceal your natural defects Rnc dramatize your good points, but it's great mistake to try to hide de- fects in your grooming. You can't get way with 1t.
 For instance, you can hide 8 hip line bulge by wearing a dress with a peplum or a skirt that flares from the waistline. But you can't hide from anyone the fact that your dress is badly in need of a trip to the laundry or 8 good pressing. THESE ARE
 TELL-TALE SIGNS You can make your ankles look simmer than they are by wearing ultra sheer stockings with pointed achievements at the heels and pumps cut low at sides and front. | You cannot find any stockings or any shoes, however beautiful, that | will compensate for a growth of hair on the legs. You can make your low forehead seem higher by wearing 8 pompa- dour. But no pompadour or any | other type of smart coiffure will completely hide dandruff or an ex- cessively dry condition which can be cured if you'll put your mind to | it.
 Rouge and lipstick can give your face an alive, glowing look which it lacks without makeup. But don't expect cosmetics to hide blackhaeds or rough spots on the skin. l The right ring can make your hand seem more slender, fingers more tapering. But neither jewelry or nail polish can do much to hide stains on sides of fingers or red. rough knuckles.
 BEWARE THE
 SLOPPY LOOK
 Even the smartest coiffure won't draw attention away from slight l ly dingy blouse, soiled gloves or un- polished shoes.
 | And no dress, however costly and well cut, will look like any thing at all if the foundation gar- ment underneath is improperly fitted or if 8 slip shows beneath the hemline.

WHEN A CHILD SWALLOWS
 A PIN

WHEN A CHILD SWALLOWS
 A PIN
 Buttons, keys, marbles, whistles, coins, small rubber gadgets, cellu- Ibid doll heads, metal toys, jacks, pencils, pens, screws, button pins, bobby pins, straight pins, safety pins open and closed are among the for eign bodies commonly swallowed by infants or children.
 In series of fl cases over per- iod of ten years it was found un- necessary to operate on any child for removal of such foreign body, at the Bellevue Hospital children's surgical service.
 When not interfered with, the gastro- intestinal tract has an ex- traordinary ability to take care of such swallowed objects, even open safety pins or similar sharp or irreg- ular objects.
 The first mistake parents or we'll meaning friends or advisers often make is to administer an emetic or to attempt to induce vomiting by other means, in the hope of caus- ing the child to emit the object swallowed.
 The second mistake is giving a laxative or cathartic in the hope of forcing the object through the ali- mentary tract and causing the child to eject it from the bowel Watchful waiting is the best policy. Average time required for any foreign body to pass from the bowel is 1-2 days. Sometimes it may not pass until two or three weeks. Meanwhile, if the child presents no unusual symptoms there is nothing else to be done but wait and watch.
 X-ray examination, of course, may give some idea of the size, nature and position of he foreign body. but generally it is foolish to go to the expense, unless it is ad- vised by the attending physician.
 No physician need attend the or dinary case of a foreign body in stomach or intestine. Just wait.
 But every stool must be careful ly examined to make sure to de- tect the body when it is expelled.
 The diet recommended for such cases by Dr. George w. Boot many years ago was described: Have the child eat a good-sized bowl of mix ed vegetables - cabbage, green beans, celery, carrots, etc. The vegetables should not be cooked soft, some of them may even be given row or nearly so, and they should be swallowed without much mastication, washed down with water if necessary"
 To that suggestion I, or Doc Brady, would add one which ought to win me many votes, namely, feed the child as much ripe banana as he will eat-several times daily. Even if the child does not care for other food, q straight banana diet will supply what is needed to fa- vor harmless passage Of the for- eign body besides maintaining the best degree Of nutrition.
 Remember-iio emetic and no cathartic.

BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Domestic
consumption of chemicals in the
first six months of 1910 was approx
mately 10 per cent greater than
the same period year ago, accord
ing to Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering.
In June the publications prelimi-
nary index of chemical consumption
stood at 143, compared with 1897
In May and 1863 year ago.
Use of chemicals has been stimu-
lated, Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering said, by the rather sharp
advance in the rate Of operations of
various industries in the last two
months. Increased output at iron
and steel plants, pulp and paper
mills, and at oil reflneries figured
prominently in moving the index up
ward in June. All Of these are i'm
portant consumers of chemicals.
The rayon industry, another big
consumer, has maintained opera
tions at fairly constant rate in
recent months, the magazine said,
while the textile industry has shown
a spotty condition. Consumption of
cotton and wool has been fairly
large, but use of silk is declining.
The outlook for a continued high
level of chemical consumption dur
ing coming months was reported to
be good. Operations in important
consuming industries are expected to
suffer little If any letdown through
out the hot-weather period and q
growing demand Is anticipated from
munitions makers.

Zone Heating System
Becoming More Popular

The zone system of winter air
conditioning, which originated in
California, is now spreading to the
North, East and even to the South.
It may be installed with single
unit or in batteries of two or
more for heating any size home,
apartment building or flats and
functions in place of one big central
furnace. 1t is possible to group
rooms for heating at will and to
heat economically any portion of
the house or all of it at the touch
of thermostats. When units are
installed at various points in the
basement shorter ducts are possible,
there is rapid air delivery. and
much heat wastage is avoided.
Zone heating is an advantage in
a home where there are extra heat
ing demands, as in nursery or the
room of an elderly person or an
invalid or where members of a
family differ as to temperature,
some liking the rooms warm, others
desiring them cool even in winter.
Many professional men, such as
physicians and dentists, with offices
in their homes have installed zone
heating because it is the most prac-
tical type for their use; examina-
tion and consultation rooms for
patients may be kept at higher
temperature than the rest of the
house and comfort is provided for
every one.
