Some one has sald: “Were a man to live to be as old as Methuselah he would never cease to find fresh beauties In a Persian carpet.” How true that is only a connofs- seur of Orlental rugs can realize. He knows that he becomes as fond of favorite rugs as he would of a puppy or a kitten about the house. They are “Arrested Cases.” Any one who has contracted tuber- culosis wants to know when he will be cured. If a patient has pneunionia or diphtherfa or typhold fever, the dis- ease runs a course, then the victim is' convalescent and finally he is well. His bodily resistance will be lowered and health will have to be built up, but he is completely rid of the disease which laid him low. Yet one who is stricken with tuberculosis but gets “well” and goes about his work may suceumb to the same disease again. It s a proven fact that many, many people do recover from tuberculosis. They live normal lives, marry and have children witheut any danger of the children being tubercular. Dr. Lawrason Brown, in his “Rules for Recovery From Tuberculosis,” de- fines “cure” and “arrest” as used in reference to tuberculosis cases. In- stead of pronouncing a patlent “cured" or even “apparently- cured,” phy clans speak of a tuberculosis patient | as an “arrested” case, This means that the disease is at a standstill. The germs have been walled in and cannot continue their ravage of the lungs. If the patient returns to his home and works under ordinary conditions of life without a relapse, he is “apparent ly cured.” If after one, two, three months or a vear or even two vears of strenuous life he relapses, then his Our Children A Map. In my early school days I dwelt for a brief time In the infant class. I understood no word of what went on in the classroom. Regularly I “lost my place” in the reader, and un- failingly the teacher sent me down the ranks to sit “where she could keep an eye on me,” on the front bench, the one minus a desk. Once there she promptly forgot me. I was a very still little boy right under her eye, and she looked over my head at the more active chaps two and three seats back. I enjoyed my front seat immensely. Even had I been able to “keep the place,” I should have lost it for the joy of that disease. was only arrested. But If a patient keeps well indefinitely, he can be called “cured.” Even though test of the sputum of a person who once had tuberculosis showed negative, and other symptoms of the disease had disappeared, so that such a person was an “arrested” case and was permitted to live his ordinary normal life, he would still have to ax- ercise due care to keep his health in prime condition. He would have to | keep his bodily reststance ahove par. In_addition to plenty of fresh air and sufficient rest, he would have to be sure his diet contained lots of nour ishing food. Plenty of milk—about & quart a day—one or two eggs in addl tion to three good meals, would be valuable in bringing the weight to nor- mal. Any one who is building up strength and weight must exercise care not to be gorged with food so that stomach or intestinal troubles re- sult. However, habit in food can be cuitivated. Though the appetite may not prompt the eating of the nourish- ing food required. the person who needs such a meal should be a good sport and eat properly. An “arrested” tubercular patient must be especially careful to follow the rules of health and to keep his body nourished with proper food.

Not as good as my map, that could never be, but perhaps it are mere castle in the air or pipe dreams, whichever we prefer to call them. These plans may not mature as we desire, either from our own voli- tion, because we abandon them for better ones; because we do not press forward with sufficient diligence to make them succeed; or for any of a thousand other reasons by which they are frustrated. But do we abandon laying plans for these causes? And do we deliberately yefrain from making beginnings the first of the vear just because it is the first of a new year? Are we not consciously or unconsciously consider- ing the 1st of this month as a propi- tious starting point for plans rather than a detrimental one? And are we mnot absolutely right in believing that new ideas and new plans and higher {deals for the home as well as our- selves have a certain stimulus when they are put into action at the start of a new historic era? We certainly appreciate that events are tabulated according to eras, and that years are divisional perjods -for calculations in world affairs. Why not make them marking points in our little worlds or microscosms? There is certainly noth- ing disadvantageous about such plans. Past Experience. It is when we permit ourselves to b so discouraged by failures to keep faith with ourselves in New Year's resolutions, so that we deliberately determine never to make any such resolutions, that we fall into error. 1t is not the plans that are poor. It 48 not that the resolutions are at fault. BEDTIME STORIE The Leak in the Dam. The leak today mag nothing reem. ‘omorrow it may food the strea. —Paddy the Beaver. One who knows a very great deal about any one subject is said to be an expert on that subject. Paddy the Beaver is an expert on’ several things. He is an expert on cutting trees. He is an expert on building dams. He is an expert on making ponds. And he is an expert on leaks. Yes, sir, Paddy is &n expert on leaks. ‘When Paddy and Mrs. Paddy retired for the winter they felt that they were ghoroughly prepared for whatever “THERE'S A L MY DE. THE DAM, AR might happen. The food plle was plenty big enough to carry them through to spring. Their house had been freshly plastered with mud and there was no worry that anything would or could happen to it. Their dam had been strengthened and put in perfect condition. AJL this was done before the coming of Jack Frost to make ice. When at last Jack Frost did cover their ponds with ice, Paddy and Mrs. Paddy retired to their house prepared to enjoy the long rest which they felt they had fairly earned. The days were very much alike down there under the ice. Inside their house was a hig bedroom, which was dry, warm and in every way very com- fortable for beavers. There they spent a great deal of time sleeping. When they were hungry they would dive Chocolate Rice Pudding Coffee FRIED APPLE SUACE.

Of course, you know they ate only the bark. The bare stick was then taken outside to be used in patching the dam or the house, Yes, the days were very much like each other as they passed. There was nothing exciting..” No enemy was to be watched out for. If storms howled and raged and made other little peo- ple shake and shiver, Paddy and Mrs, Paddy knew nothing about it. Down there beneath the ice the water was al- ways one temperature, and in their fur coats, this temperature was very comfortable. It was neither too hot nor too cold. Reddy Fox and Yowler the®Robeat and Puma the Panther and Old Man Covote might feel the pinch of hun- ger, and often did, but Paddy and Mrs. Paddy knew nothing of it.” They did not suffer from hunger themselve: nor did they know anything about the hunger of other people. It was al- ways very peaceful and restful. But despite this peacefulness and restful- ness, Paddy the Beaver never was careless. Being so safe never led him to forget that all this safety and peace- fulness depended on one thing—his dam. Paddy never forgot this. Every once in a while he would swim over to the dam and carefully examine it from one end to the other. He was looking for leaks. Yes, fir, he was looking for leaks. He knew that a little leak can grow very fast and can become a big leak; so he meant to | find every little leak that might ap- | pear in that dam. It happened one afternoon that Pad. dy became very uneasy. That morn. ing he had heard faintly the sound of choping. He had thought little about it at the time. After a while that sound had stopped. It was a little |later that he hegan to grow uneasy. He had a feeling that all yas not well, After a while Mrs. Paddy shared in that feeling. Finally Paddy could stand it no longer. “My dear,” said he, “I'm going outslde for a few min- utes,” In almost no time at all, Paddy was back. He thrust his head up into the room and spoke quickly. “There’s a leak in the dam, my dear. I could feel a little current just as soon as I got outside. We'll have to attend to that at _onc Follow m Mrs. Paddy, like the trua mate that she is, asked no questions. She fol- lowed Paddy. Beneath the ice, straight over to the dam. Paddy led the way. He swam fast. He didn’t have to hunt for that leak. He had only to follow the current which that leak in the dam was making. His worst fears were reallzed.

This can be thumb-tacked to the wall In a child’s room. From time to time the pictures may be exchanged for fresh ones.

Shown here is a particularly hand- some antique Kuba Orfental. Its col orings are soft red, blue and tan. A rug of this sort, measuring about 6 by 5 feet, may cost between two and three hundred dollars, but it is a sound investment. Its value increases with age, it is a lasting joy to its possessor, and it can be used with furniture of almost any period very successfully. Because Orlentals have been so much used in Europe and America for so many centuries, they are equally at home with the massive furniture of Italy or Spain, the el gancies of Georgian England, or the sturdy, graceful pieces of colonial or early America. Beauty Chats Ice. One of the best and most refreshing. face treatments you can give vourself is a_thorough rubbing with ice over the face and the neck, and if you want to over the shoulders, too. At first you may not like the extreme cold of the ice, but it is good for the skin, and, if used on the neck, not only helps iron out the wrinkles, but also makes the neck less kensitive to draugh'~ and yourself less liable to catch cold. In the sumer time when the skin is relaxed and the pores naturally little open from the heat, ice is a mar- velous astringent and can be used over the face and neck immediately after washing with water and soap. But in the Winter when cold, damp winds take a certain amount of oil from the skin anyway, ice should be used following an oll rub or a cold cream massage. Otherwise, the skin may chap. The best daily treatment, prefer- ably in the morning, is to rub the skin quickly with a little cleansing cream, wash it off, using fairly hot water and a mild soap (castile or cold cream soap it you can get either) and then rub with ice. The drying effect of the ice is balanced by the oiliness of the cream and by the fattiness of the soap, which will not take natural oils from the complexion as a stronger soap would. Another freshening up treatment, which can be given In the evening If you want to make your skin look fine and pretty and if you haven't a great deal of time, Is to cleanse the skin quickly with cleansing cream, wash this off with a cloth wrung from hot water, dry with a towel (this takes all the dirt jrom way down in the pores and is itself very refreshing) and then rub on a little vanishing cream. Rub with ice, over the vanishing cream. It will take off some of the cream, but that does not matter. The combination of the van- ishing cream and ice is a very good one, it makes the skin soft and clear and fresh, and it will keep on powder all evening.

Beat four eggs together, season them with salt, and place half the mixture in the same pan in which you cooked the apple Add the sliced apples, then add the rest of the egg. Cook the dish as you would cook an ordinary omelet. Be- fore serving it, sprinkle powdered sugar on top. R g e Chestnut Dessert.

It was a map of a fancied land, and it was intended to teach the geographical facts to eager childhood. It taught me many of them, but it taught me far more than I can ever put into words. Through this delectable land mean- dered a river. It had the most aston- ishing curves and quirks, and within the shelter of each bend sat some lovely thing that invited a visit and entertaining speculation. The river had no pame. It was plainly, unm takably labeled River in big letters. Beside it sat a great stone castle with a haughty guard. Close by was a high hill, on whose summit floated a pirate flag. (I supplied the pirate part). Farther on was a volcano from which smoke and flame was pouring. Down its steep sides raced one man and one woman and one child and one dog. They were headed for the valley, where nestled the school and the church and the farm. The school had a row of good children in front of its door, and on the farm was one cow and one horse and one pig and one cock. When I had traveled through the land, always traveling dangerously, I Petook me to the shore, a crinkied Lrown shore on which the wrinkled blue waves lapped high. Ships sailed on the blue sea and fisher hoats stood in the bay, while fishers’ wives waved farewell from the cape, whose sharp point cleft the waters between the gulf and the bay.
