Unless the weather is very damp, tn
the morning each counterpane, blanket,
dtieet, pillow and bolster should be re
moved oud spread where they may jjt-t

put It well under the mnttress and not

followed by the counterpane. Have

The Kitchen Sink.
A true housewife should take the
greatest pride In her kitchen sink and
eep it spotlessly clean. The easiest
and best way to clean a galvanized
Iron sink which has been more or less
neglected Is to rub strong soap powder
Into every corner and over every Inch
WARM
of surface. Let it remain on for ten
or fifteen minutes, then with a stout
brush go over the whole, dipping the
hrush into boiling water. When the
sink Is thoroughly scrubbed, polish it
with kerosene, rubbing the oil into the
iron and leaving the residue of grease
behind. The kerosene prevents it from
rusting after the strong soap powder
and boiling water are used. Care
must be taken that the painted wood
work around the sink does not come
into contact with the powder, as It
may eat off. the paint The kitchen
sink should be cleaned as thoroughly
8 this twice a week, and every day
carefully rinsed out with hot soap
suds.
Alwaya Handr.
The woman whose time is valuable,
ftut who desires everything to be neat
nd trim, will nlwuys keep on the pin
cushion in her sewing room e needle
threaded with white thread and ono
threaded with blnck, so she can sew on
buttons and hooks and eyes In a hurry.
Often when dressing a button or hook
Ibeiomes' loosened, and it can be re
nin ed in a minute's time if one has
the threaded needle on hand and does
not have to look first for the thread
"nd then for the needle. "
Immune Asralnat Typhoid.
The War Department has conslder
1 the advisobllity of immunizing sol
diers against typhoid fever by vaccina
tion. It has decided that inoculation
s a preventive against typhoid has
been so thoroughly demonstrated in
foreign countries and its efficacy so
well established that the vaccination
method Is to be adopted In the United
States Army. -
Husband and Wife.
No man yet was ever made more
teuder by having tenderness demanded
of him ; no man yet was ever cried into
loving his wife more. I am willing to
admit that men are as faulty creatures
s women themselves, unsympathetic
In small things, often blind, and that
they may easily be exasperated Into
small brutalities of speech. If a woman
refrains from exacting devotion, and
Is unswervingly kind and unselfish, a
husband who has any affection for bis
wife at all can be left to Im.b nnt tr
doing his share. He will look out for
it anyway ; no one else can make him.
Neither tears nor entreaties will wring
from him those small kindnesses and
attentions so dear to women. A Wife

Unlike the prim braids of the present

. The He Goaalp.
A child who, glowing with sudden in
terest, cried out: "Mother, why did
you marry father?" and was answered
with, "Because I was born on the 7th
of March, my dear," grew up Into a
happy, natural Inquiring man. His
young mind, says the New Tork Even
ing Sun, was not stunted, be was en
couraged in his questions, shown what
a surprising thing an answer might be.
and now he is a delightful gossip and
attributes his talents entirely to his
early training. .
Wranf Way to Iron.
It would be such a satisfactory ar
rangement if all of the right people
could read about the wrong way to
iron, but all the wrong people are sure
to read what they already, know, and
the only hope Is, therefore, to have
them pass It along to the right people.
A skirt may be perfectly made as to
cut and finish, and a plain shirtwaist
may be an absolute fit and so easy to
Iron that "any child could do It" Yet
some laundresses without that cer
tain appreciation of the cut of gar
ments and the weave of goods will
invariably iron them bit or miss, run
ning the iron on the crossway or the
bias of the moist material, thus iron
ing the twist in permanently if the
bias method has been employed, or
shortening the garment perceptibly If
It has been done on the cross weave.
It is positively easier for a laundress
to Iron "with the goods" if the little
trick were made plain to her.
Muter Year Moods.
Conquer your moods.
Don't let your moods conquer you.
Feople who give way to moods never
amount to much because they are
never masters of themselves.
They never know in the morning
whether they are going to do a good
day's work or not. whether they are
going to be a cheering or a depressing
influence on the people around them.
If they feel like being good tem
pered they will be.
If they feel like "snapping" at every
thing they will snap.
People who suffer from moods should
be careful about their habits.
They should be regular about meals,
sleep, exercise and work.
The condition of the health has much
to do with moods, and there Is noth
ing that contributes so much to health
as absolute regularity.
Dandruff Cnre.
Get a quart bottle German rhln
wine; take a teaspoonful and rub It
well into the scalp once every week.
This will cure the worst form of dan
druff. Dry the hair with a coarse
towel, don't use artificial heat; don't
use water with the wine. Repeat the
above until the scalp Is white, clean
and healthy and dandruff gone. Sham
poo your hair once every week and"
use the wine the following day ac
cording to directions. You should never
use salt In water with . soap when
shampooing hair, it prevents a thor
ough cleansing, causing the dirt to
cling to the little beards of the hair
and make it sticky.
For Yonr Oily Skin.
Bathe In water hot as you can bear
without burning, In which you dissolve
one tablespoonful of borax or bicar
bonate of soda. Use this at least five
minutes; rinse in tepid water, then
with a cloth wet with alcohol rub your
skin thoroughly and let it dry. This
treatment will thoroughly cleanse the
pores of the skin.
Happy Man.
It is surprising how little money a
man can get along on when his family
needs it all. "Perkins looks very hap

Brown replied. "After his wife and

winter wardrobe he found there was
enough left to have a new collar put

Neglecting- the Ere.
Neglect of the eyes may result not
only in poor sight, but in a poor skin.
Neglect of the eyes, weakening of the
eyes, causes wrinkles, screws up the
face in a most untieautiful fushlon and
adds scores of tiny crowsfeet about the
face and forehead.
Do Not Allow Stooplnar.
In childhood and girlhood lounging
and stooping are too much allowed, just
as they are with our boys lu public

ROF. W. I. THOMAS of
P of an article entitled "The Psychology of Woman's Dress," In
I which he analyzes and discusses motives underlying the femi
lii' i
nine portion or nunianuy s lore or arena ana decoration. Arter
illustrations of the passion of humanity, both male aud female,
for adornment, Prof. Thomas comes to the discussion of the
reasons why men and women cloths themselves. "Clothing,"
! VI
be says, as distinguished from ornament and dress, "had a particular devel
opment In cold climates." Then be proceeds to tht effects of clothing. '
"The clothing of women," he says, "when it was developed to the point
of covering her whole person, took on an Interest of Its own, but It had ths
disadvantage of obscuring the figure. This difficulty has been met by fash
ioning the clothing on lines which Indicate and even emphasize the outlines
of the body." After dwelling la detail on this point he says that "the In
genuity of man has found a place on woman's dress for every object worn
by savnge man, and for those for which no other place was found he has de
vised the hat"
Pointing out that "as society advances there is a tendency in man to
give n$ ornament and in woman to take on more of it," the professor finds
that "woman, limited In her Interests by the proprietary tastes of man," finds
"her occupation is to charm." "Fashions are made by dictators, and womeu
do not wear what they want but what the manufacturers and tradespeople
want them to want The people who supply them also control them." He
proceeds to show how one desire for fluery gratified becomes the cause of
further luxuries. "The baffling array of silver at the twenty-course drnner
and the costly box at the opera are equally a part of woman's dress," is one
of his illustrations. And he asserts: "This situation is the despair of man,
but it is 'society. "
After alleging that "the most romantic periods in history are those char
acterized by tight lacing and purposive fainting," Prof. Tiiomas continues:
"The role of "half-angel and half-bird' is a pretty one, if you look at It In
that way; but it denatures woman, makes her a thing Instead of a person.
It leaves society short-handed and the struggle for life harder and uglier
than It would be If woman oieratel In it as the substantial and superior
creature which nature made her. We have a machlno-made civilization,
which has Introduced class inequalities, hatred and suffering unknown In
savagery or barbarism. We are wealthy, but not humanized. Man is pur
suing business on the same pitiless principles that he formerly pursued game."
And his conclusion is: "But there is no use trying to talk fashions down.
The change will come gradually, as women become more intelligent and In
dependent and of themselves experience ths expulsive power of a new affection.'"
The Dlaarnoals of Tnberenloale.
To the casual observer it may seem
strange that physicians often find It
difficult to determine whether a patient
Is or is not suffering from consumption.
The cough, the emaciation, the hectic
fever and the night sweats seem to be
sufficiently characteristic of the disease
to render Its recognition easy, even to
the non-medical person. And so, in
deed, it is ordinarily in these advanced
stages, but it is very different at the
beginning. Every one knows that the
earlier treatment is begun, the more
likely is It to be successful. It Is ex
tremely important, therefore, to be able
to detect the very beginnings of con
sumption while yet the person is appar
ently in almost perfect health and
here lies the difficulty.
If there Is no cough, no beetle flush,
no undue perspiration at night, and If
examination of the expectorated mat
ters does not show the presence of the
tubercle-bacilli, the only departure from
health being perhaps a tendency to
fever after exercise, some loss of flesh
and a rather rapid pulse, the experi
enced physician may suspect a begin
ning of tuberculosis, but he would be
rash to assert It as a fact
Within' a year or so several new
methods of detecting the disease In its
Inciplency have been devised, and one
at least of them promises to be of great
practical utility. These methods all
consist In the use of tuberculin, but
they differ In the mode of application
of this substance. It has been known
for years that the injection of tuber
culin will be followed, if the subject is
tuberculous, by symptoms of ''reaction,"
that is, by fever, headache, pains In the
bones, and other signs of malaise. But
this method has never found favor
among physicians generally, because of
the belief that it is dangerous. It was
very dangerous as formerly used ; large
doses were injected, and the reaction
that followed was at times very severe,
and In certain cases it was known to
have rekindled the disease in persons
In whom It had become quiescent, and
who were practically cured. It was
also feared by some that the disease
might be caused in one of weak resist
ing powers by inoculation with the
tuberculin. These dangers do not how
ever, exist, now that the substance is
nsed in very -small doses, and In a form
containing, as it does, only the glycerin
extract of the tubercle-bacilli, and
never the bacilli themselves. Never
theless, other more simple methods have
now been devised, and are used in pref
erence to the Injections of former days.
These methods will be described In a
future article. Youth's Companion.
Are Yon Afraid to Take Chances T
Many a man falls because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
Initiative,
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you expect
to get out of the ranks of mediocrity?
The men who do original things are
fearless. There is a lot of dare in their
make-up, a great deal of boldness. They
are not afraid to take chances, to
shoulder responsibility, to endure incon
venience and privation.
There never was a time when the
the University of Ctilcscm th. .,thr.
quality of courage was so absolutely in
dispensable In the business world as it
is to-day. It does not matter how many
success qualities you possess, young
man, if you lack courase von will nr
get anywhere. Not even honesty or
perseverance will take its place. There
is no substitute for courage.
It does not matter how well educated
you may be, or how good a training
you may have had for your vocation,
if you are a hesitator. If von lack that
courage which dares to risk all on your
judgment you will never get above
mediocrity.
The men who stand at the top of
their line of endeavor stand there be
cause they have the courage of their
convictions. They had the courage to
climb, had the nerve to undertake even
against the advice of others. Orison

The Meaaee of a Wood Famine.
To-day to supply public needs, and
to fill their own pockets, individual ex
ploiters are sweeping away the forests
three times as fast as they grow. This
means that many of the hard woods
are already gone ; that the total supply
of hard wood, which used to furnish
the better-grade furniture, fittings and
so on, will be exhausted, for commer
cial purposes, within fifteen years;
and that the entire wood sunnlv of the
country will not last longer than tweu-
ty-nve or inirty years. , It is as though
some foreign Invader, or some deadly
pest, should suddenly appear on our
shores and 'ravage the entire forest
area of the country, at the rate of two
States a year, udtil every tree were
gone. Do you Imagine for one Instant
that as the years go by your Interest
in this great question will become Jess
vital, or less personal, than It Is to
day? Success Magazine.
