DUSTLESS OUSTERS.
Dustless dusters aud mops are
now so generally used thnt noth
ing need be said In their favor,
but perhaps some women do not
know how easily and cheaply
they can make these labor sav-'
lng appliances for theinsolves.
Cut cheesecloth Into squares of
the required size, hem ami dip
Into linseed oil or plain kero
sene. Dry the cloths iu the open
air, aud you have your dustless
dusters.
For the floor mop take old
stockings and cut them into two
inch strips. Tie them to an old
broom handle and tack them
fast. Theu soak in the oil aud
dry in the open air. Shorter
strips of stockings can be tacked
to an old brush handle and will
be found very convenient for
stairs and other small spaces.
All of those dusters and mops
can be washed and when dry
will be as good as ever. After
several washings, however, they
should be redlpped in the oil and
dried in the open air.

HE DOCTOR TELLS
BATH SECRETS
An Expert Lays Down a Regime
For the Business Woman Ex
cellent Recipe For Making Oat
meal Bags For the Toilet
GOOD grooming, without correct
bathing, is almost an impossi
bility. Tliu society woman can
bathe when she likes. The
business womau must arrange her
baths so that they will not Interfere
with her business hours. And both
women must be careful to select a bath
best suited to their physical and nerv
ous condition as well as their occupa
tion. All baths are not cleansing. This Is
particularly true of the cold bath. The
womau with an oily skin gets absolute
ly no results from a cold bath, and
when one has a skin disease, like acne,
eczema, etc., the cold bath irritates and
Increases it
The sponge as au aid iu bathing has
been generally condemned by latter
day physicians and beauty specialists,
as it Is said to harbor germs and the
kin excretions. Fastidious women
now use a bath mitten of a porous tex
ture or loose woven Turkish toweling
In the place of the sponge, and unless
the skin is tender a camel's hair flesh
brush can be used. There Is also what
Is known as the air bath, which means
nslng a basin or small tin tub instead
of the regulation bathtub aud sponging
off In a room flooded with sunshine and
fresh air.
A good regime for baths for the busi
ness woman Is this: Three times a
week at night take either a tepid or a
warm bath, using a good soap or soap
powder. The tepid bath ranges In tem
perature from 85 to 00 degrees, the
warm bath between 92 and 98. This
temperature can be ascertained by the
use of a thermometer, which can be
bought at any first class drug store or
hardware store. Both the tepid and
warm baths act as a sedative. When
the water is below 85 or above 98 It
stimulates or shocks and is not an aid
to sleep. If a business woman, if the
skin is very oily, a pinch of borax, a
few drops of benzoin or toilet ammo
nia may be poured into the bath. nigh,
ly perfumed and colored soaps should
be avoided, and a pure white or eastlle
soap which you can taste with the
tongue without feeling a biting sensa
tion is the one you want to use for
bathing purposes.
When the skin is much irritated by
contact with dust aud grime use oat
meal bath bags instead of soap. Buy
cheesecloth iu quantities and cut the
bags about four inches square, fill them
loosely with the following mixture and
never use a bag but once, throwing it
away after once used:
Oatmeal, Ove pounds; powdered flor
entine orris root, one pound; almond
meal, one pound; old eiistile soap,
scraped to a powder, half a pound.
Mix together and fill the bass.
Theu every morning let the business
woman take a tepid bath before break
fast and if greatly exhausted sprinkle
Into this water sea salt, which she can
buy at any drug store.
Coats For Traveling.
Traveling coats are ueing made of
very thick rough surfuced materials,
heavy rough serge, thick velours, de
laine or Jersey cloth. The Jersey cloths
for winter wraps aud suits appear un
der various names, Buch as winter Jer
sey, "tricho double" aud the like.
Almost all of the new coat models
have a wide belt, catching in the full
ness at the front, but leaving the back
loose. They also have enormous pock
ets. In one of the shops wus exhibit
ed a smart garment of this description
in velours dehilue, with pockets placed
quite high, aud coming from under the
arms from these pockets started plaits,
giving fullness to the coat, which had
no belt.
Somerset Salad.
Chill stewed prunes aud remove
stones. Fill cavities with peanuts.
Arrange prunes In groups of three or
four in nests of lettuce leaves and
sprinkle with finely chopped peanuts.
Serve with French dressing.

Double Launching
of Big Steel Vessels
Oakland, Calif., Jan. 25. The first
double launching in the history of steel i
shipbuilding took place Saturday at)
the yards of the Union Iron Works, a
Charles Schwab concern, on the Oak
land inner harbor. Simultaneously
the Regulus, 6,000 tons, and the Bessa,
1 10,000 tons, slid down the ways while
thousands cheered, whistles tooted,
'bands played, and a half dozen, motion
picture camera men filmed the event.
, As soon as the ships were in the
water so great is the demand for
vessels workmen began setting the
keel blocks for two other big steel
steamships.
Indicative also of the demand for
ships in these war times is the record
of the reselling of these two vessels.
The Regulus is now the property of C.
.Henry Smith after having been sold
twice since it was ordered by the Hon.
A. O. Lindvicr. former prime minister
of Norway. The Bessa now is in the I
name of Wilhclm Wilhelmson, also a
Norwegian, after having changed i
hands three times since it was ordered. '
In each instance a large profit was
made until now it is said the vessels
have sold for almost double their con
tract price.
Among the guests of honor at the
launching was James Dickie, inventor
of the Dickie trigger now widely used
in launchings. He was present at the
first double launching in the annals of
shipyards, when two wooden vessels
took the water at the old Union Iron
Works in San Francisco in 1896. !

THE BIRD'S BATH.
Baking Tint Makt Dtllghtful -Tub."
For Feathered Peto.
Some canaries simply, refuse to take
baths regularly In the tiny bird .baths
usually provided for them. The tiling
to do then Is to take all perches out of
the cage and also the bottom. Then
set the cage over an oblong or square
baking tin, according to the shape of
the cage, Just partly filled with water.
This will leave no place for the bird to
go but to cling to tho side of the cage,
of which we will soon tire, or take bis
plunge. Of course, If the bird simply
sits in the water without bathing he
most not be allowed to remain In the
bath tor very long, as be will catch
cold. Most birds, however, will bathe
If thus managed and enjoy the bath
much better than if It were taken In a
tiny dish. The baking tin should be
ew. v
Freshening Velvttt.
Velvet must be ironed over the Iron
so as not to crush the pile. The best
way Is to get some one to hold a hot
Iron upward while you draw the vel
vet backward and forward along the
hot surface. Keep tho velvet well
stretched and go over every piece care
fully till the pile stands up well.
