NOVEL BIRTHDAY CELE BRATION I know a family which. Instead of celebrating the . sele several birthdays as they arrive, ' t a certain day possibly not the ' birthday of anyone and concentrate ! the birthday celebrations upon that 'lay. They ha a fine dinner, each naming some favorite dish, which is piepared for the occasion, and they combine their expenditures either upon a jiing'le gift lor each or upon some article or improvement for C;e home which all desire. In tills unique Way the utmost satisfaction Is ex tracted from the birthday Idea and ihe greatest happiness ensues for all This seems to hie. preferable to a small g.ft from each to each upon every birthday, and it lias the value of being original and diffeient. I have sometimes thought that this family goes even farther in the birth day matter and that they add up thu sum of their years and then divide m equally among themselves, lor I ha', e never know n a laniily w in rein mi seem so nearly of the same age. i Fattier, mother and the . hihlieii, from ! the youngest to the oldest, all seem I to fully enjoy the same tilings.

It so cpulckiv becomes the commonplace But such k lng is so lovely in itself that every, body who can manace to buy a smocked frock or bio ,se or to make ono should do fo. Smocking, when it means rows and rows of the shirring as a preliminary step, is perhaps diifi.ult.

This is because they are so es sential in the treatment of men wounded In battle and more men are at war now than ever before.

No woman can expect to pass through life without tiesh wounds, even tliouiili they may be limited to pin s' rat' lies. It does not pay to wait for even a slight wound to heal without th- application cf an antiseptic. Bossibly it will heal without such attention, but H really pays to take precautions. While some scars seem to beaut; f.' the face. neck or hands, those who are forced to wear them n-ver take such a view of them.

Just a little bit of sensible precaution would prevent many scars and more serious a i l l ic ; ions. A woman takes a rs when si e uses a pin or a n'-edle. to pi n k the flesh without the uo of a proper anti septic. No physician would attempt even s-.i'.h a slight operation under similar conditions. He Is most care ful to see that his instruments aro free from all germs and poisonous matter. Ordinary people should exer cise the same care. Alcohol and peroxide of hydrogen are quite, popular as antiseptics. In many cases they meet all the neces sary requirements. But they are both superficial in their effect. Perhaps ihe most effective antlseptlo and germ killer at the command of everybody- is loc'.ine. It is far more than super fic ial iri its effect. In fact, it may reach clear through the flesh and into ttie bor.e, and physicians sometimes use it for this purpose. They often use it :n preference to carbolic acid and ot her antiseptics.
