Careless or wrong adjustment of eyeglasses is not qnly harmful, "but in many cases actually disfiguring. The woman whose wish it is to look wellgroomed will not neglect this detail of correct dressing. Nor will she allow Jier crystal optics to remain dusty, spotted or marked, as many people do.

Observe, if you will, the two or threescore people in a well-filled trolley car. There is paterfamilias who has worn glasses for the last forty years. Notwithstanding this long usage, his spectacles are not at all in focus, one glass bejng much lower than the other. He Continually moves his head as he reads his morning paper. He does not know It, but one eye is looking through the fide and not the tcenter of the lens in front of It.

Then there is a large, fair lady nearing the forty mark. She is well-dressed and holds a responsible position in a large business. She wears eyeglasses, they are well-cleansed and shining, but, alas, they, too, set at a decided angle on her nose, so that one eye almost looks out from under its glass.

The young man opposite to her sports large, owlish, tortise-shell spectacles which are becoming in their way, but as the bridge of his nose is low he wears them well back, so that they are raised a little high across his vision and his good-looking eyes peer out from the lower part of the circle.

Then, of course, there is the man whose glasses sit astride his nose about an inch from his eyes. There are three or four people whose glasses need cleaning very much. Taken altogether and considering how many firat-rate and careful oculists t*iere are in the

Flowers act as food swid rest to the weary brain in the ganie manner that food allays hunger. In the daily routine of every woman's life her brain and eyes becpme weary and require rest sleep alone does not satisfy, and to fill Viis want there Is nothing that will qilite equal a few momenta gating at a pretty bouquet of bright colored flowers or the inhalation of some pleasing scent.

The mind of many a sick person has been diverted from their disease by the presence! of 4 brightly colored bouquet or some sweet smelling scent their brain be icq started on mw channel of thought that rapld}y leadla to recovery.

In fact, flowers and scents are a physical benefit to the weary housewife and mother, as well as of the woman of leisure, and are equally beneficial to the busy man, clerk, stenographer, student, or any one deeply engrossed in thought. The artist finds them valuable, not alone for their scent, but for the inspiration gained from color.

Concerning

,R. E. W. TITUS, of Washington, speaking on the subject of the controversy on the use of heated milk, says:— "In the boiling of milk, proteins are considerably altered, coagulation of certain albuminoid constituents takes place, thereby rendering them m^re d"* ficult of digestion. It is stated that there is quite a loss of vitality in the milk as the result of heating at high temperatures, and further, that it has been observed by many medical practitioners that there is a very distinctly lowered vitality among infants fed on boiled milk, the processes of absorption' being delayed and the quantity of milk required for the nourishment of the child being greater. It is generally agreed that the digestibility of milk diminishes with cooking. But among authorities consulted the prevailing

view is that when milk is properly heated there is little or no prejudicial influence excited in this respect. "The heating must be done intelligently and must be properly supervised. After heating, the milk is just as liable to serious contamination as before, if not more so, and therefore must be carefully guarded and kept cool. When all is said", it will be found that the objections raised to the proper heating of milk seem to be either theoretical or such as may be readily overcome. The writer feels no hesitancy in taking the view that the only practicable solution of the problem of obtaining milk in its least objectionable state at the present time appears to be proper heating. Theoretically, it should not be necessary practically, we find It forced upon us."

Glasses, of course, which are worn only occasionally are not so apt to tall into error. On the other hand, the glass which is put on and taken on frequently is sometimes put on carelessly, and often becomes bent ana

To Reduce Hips.

W is re It is lack of exercise that is causing you to increase in size, and as you are not strong the mechanical massage will be the safest and quickest way to reduce your hips. This is given with a machine called a vibrator and should be given at least every other day. Do not use any alGohol only the regular grain alcohol. This can be used on the hips once or twice daily, but will not reduce Ihe hips without the vibrator.

Also the novelty ribbon flowers used for bows, neckJaces and trimming may be treated In like manner. However, one should he guarded and never place these sachets near the skin, for this destroys their mild fragrance.

The handkerchief is an accessory that no woman's toilet is complete without, and there are but few women who prefer them unscented. In using a wet perfume one must be careful not to use too much in fact, it is a difficult matter to apply wet perfume and secure a pleasing fragrance without allowing it to air for awhile. Tl}ls is so because the alcohol, which is used in the preparation of the perfume predominates until evaporation takes place.

To avoid this and at all times have a scented handkerchief, I would suggest keeping the handkerchiefs In a sccnted case- A case made by covering a sheet of cotton padding with sachet powder, placing another sheet on top of this and then covering th}s with silk or closely woven muslin. A fancy cover may be secured to this to keep the pad clean. The case ia not formed into abag but is simply folded over the handkerchiefs.

The drawers which contain one's clothing may be beautified by making sachet pads for them. In addition to beautifying them the clothes are not only kept cleaner and scented, but the scent will mildly pervade the whole of the room. These pads may be made by following the directions for making the handkerchief case. One will be surprised at the life of the scent so encased.

FOR

PROTECTION against bright iight and eunglare and wrinkles various colors of glass are now in use. The old-fashioned, so-called "smoked" glass is about as good as any- The goggle made for automobile use seems to have become a very much needed article for people in varioug walks and works of life. The engineer finds them good, the long distance swimmer finds a pair set in rubber an excellent thing to keep salt spray from his eyes. The worker in dust or metal particles Is glad to choose a well-fitting pair.

A kind intended to serve by night as well as day has insets of smoked glass in th© lower half, this protects the eye-piercing glare of motor searchlights as well as the sun glare upon White roads. Such an idea might well be duplicated in glass, it would seem, it the one who wears such glasses must confront the same conditions.

Well-fitting, well-chosen glasses, neither too large nor too small, too round nor too low, worn not crookedly nor too far away from the eyes, are not unbecoming. Indeed they are an adjunct to beauty in some cases, where the eye happens to be ill-set, of hard expression or of an indeterminate color. In such cases the glass hides the defects and heightens the good points.

With men, the eyeglass tends to give a business-like and alert air and also, when in softer moments, he would "look leve into the eyes of love," the same glasses rather add to the ardor of the looks cast at the beloved.

Eyeglass making is indeed a fine art these days and almost a miracle Is evolved in some of the compound lenses, all of a piece, which now are manufactured to help out the vision which falls short of perfect.

Styles in rims, in shapes, in the clips used to set them upon the nose—all of these things do their part in making the up-to-date pair of eyeglasses things of beauty as well as of usefulness, when properly adjusted.

Have a Nursery Thermometer

rr IS very difficult sometimes In 11 our furnace-heated houses to judge 11 of the temperature out-of-doors, and on this account every mother should have a thermometer fastened outside the window, not where the sun will shine on it all day, but in an unprotected place, wh«re the Winter winds will strike It. By this she can tell how warmly to wrap up the youngsters or whether it is a fit day for them to play anywhere except in a protected sunny niche.

The comfort of a thermometer for this reason Is great. A very young child ought not to play out-of-doors very long if the thermometer is below 25 degrees, because little feet will get chilled unless great care is exercised, but provided a child of four or older is Well wrapped up and the sun is shining, a brisk walk or play can b« enjoyed at almost any low temperature provided the body keeps moving and th« doctor permits.

In addition to the outdoor thermometer an indoor one should be hung ir whatever room the children are playing In. Never let this go above 72 degrees, and unless there is illness or a very young baby. It should preferably stay at 68 degrees.

Do Not Have House Too Hot. If a chijd is out-of-doors a great deal (as most healthy normal children are nowadays) and also takes its naps out-of-doors, It should never be subjected to great h©at Indoors. Sixty-five degrees may seem rather cool for the family, but a child who live® practically out-of-doors la aipt to catph cold If It ia subjected Indoors to a temperature above that More colds result from overheating than from chills.

Have the house of an even temperature all over, so that It ia not drafty or hot In one room and cold in another then even the baby may be carried from one room to another in the coldest weather.

The temperature on the floor is necessarily lower than that at the level of grown-up heads, hence, if children are allowed to play on the floor in cold, stormy weather, eomo care must be taken to avoid draft and chill, even in an upstairs room- Spread a quilt on the floor in such a case or, for the baby, use the crib where the tops can be spread out without fear of falling or~~\_.~ drafts either. Nice low carts on wheels with screened sides, come for use upon such occasions. The bought affairs are complete, mattress and all, but there is no reason why the home carpenter^ could not make one. They should b#«^vj a it or a a wide, as the crib, and being on wheels, '.'-Vv can be moved from room to room at will. .)

Learn to Use Clinical Thermometer. In addition to the thermometers for Judging air temperature, every mother should learn to use a clinical thermometer. Once understood, the knowle&gfl of the height of a child's fever will often make the presence of a professional nurse or extra visits of a doctor unnecessary.

With a young child, such a thermometer should be used in the rectum. but as soon as a child ig old enough to understand it should be taught to hold the tube in its mouth. This Is as important as to teach a child to cine or to open its throat for inspection.

If a child seems unwell without definite symptoms, the mother, by uslQ£ clinical thermometer, can Judge for hevself when a physician's presence necessary or report to him at Intervale el on O a a I den rise of temperature must not be considered alarming, although attention must be given to It at once,

FIRST SEA BATHING

An English physician in 1773 is the first doctor credited with advising his patients to bathe in sea water as a. cure for many ailments, and Mayate was one of the first resorts to take up the hobby and provide bathing machines which by the way, in those pays, had the addition of a tent-like structure attached so that the occ-jpants couM enter the water in a state of nature.

It was not until after the fall of Napoleon that English refugees seeking to escape the debtor's prison, carried the practice of sea bathing over to tne continent.
