WOMAN'S PAGE.' Small Economies Worth While BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER It is the wise woman who makes what sie has do its full duty. There -@re small economies that are worth . considering. These do not savor of . Diggardiiness, but of laudable thrift. And as thoughtlessness is often at the ““Poot of waste, it may be well to call to PERFUME EVAPORATES QUICK- LY WHEN THE BOTTLE IS LEFT UNCORKED. mind some of the ways to get the most from what we already possess. Never leave the stopper out of a bottle of perfume or of cologne or toi- | carefully it fits into the neck ¢’ the bottle. The reason for this is not only becaus: it affords a better appearance to the bot- tle holding the perfume, but bacause the stopper fits so tightly that the aroma does not escape and the per- fume evaporate. Since the firms that put up such fine essences and extracts take the pains to see that the bottles containing them are as airtight as possible, it surely is thoughtlessness on the part of the women who have such perfumes when they allow the stoppers to remain out of the bottles any longer than necessary when using hem. Volatile Perfumes. All perfumes are very volatile and evaporate rapidly when exposed to the air. Sometimes two stoppers are put in a bottle containing rare and costly essences of flowers. Attar of roses is always so protected, for when pure, it |is the concentrated and distilled fra srance of millions of rose petals. A wee bottle of this choice perfume re- quires literally myriads of fragrant flowers. No wonder it is costly and safeguarded when made. There are many essences that are red- olent with vast numbers of flowers of delicate fragrance. To leave stoppers out of such perfume containers is to show lack of appreciation ot their value. A top left off a ‘tube of paste does not make the paste less, but it does decrease the usefulness of a trifling bit of it. The part exposed to the air dries and is worthless. So think to put on the screw top. ‘When you return from a dance and | put the dance frock on a chair where | the sun may | morning before you waken, and do strike it early in the not hang it in its proper place in a dark closet, do not be surprised if it gets faded. For many of the most axquisite everdng shades are not ex- pected to stand strong sunlight. A little thought would help keep the frock at its best for the longest vime possible. Toilet Soaps. The same element of thoughtful ness is required to prevent expensive soaps from literally “wasting away.” To make them do their full service they should not be plunged into water, and certainly never left in it for a moment. The correct and saving way to use toilet soap is to wet the hands thoroughly and then rub the soap be- tween the palms and replace the soap in its dish. Or, if it is to be used for the bath, and not just for washing the hands, have the facecloth wet and rub the soap on it. Do not dip the soap in the water and then rub it n the cloth. Plenty of soap will remain on moistened hands or a wet wash- cloth if used as described, and the soap will last the longest time possi- ble. Little economies like these, that are without a hint of anything but care- ful treatment of what you have, lelp let water. The stopper in a fine per- fume bottle is of glass, ground where to make the things used give the best service. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Sick Headache Situation. A few interesting facts gleaned from reports sent in by readers who have been trying the experiment we sug- gested for victims of migraine (also called megrim and periodic sick head- ache) may now be told. First, the experiment embraced these details: The victim was to take & daily dose or two of cod liver oil, a daily sun bath, a daily dose of cal- oium lactate, and a daily dose of thyroid. If you didn’t get the proto- col of the experiment, never mind. it is all over now, and we are.just counting the casualties. Mrs. L. D. writes: underweight, billious, constipation, coated tongue. Best doc- tors, diet, no improvement. 1 have faithfully followed the experiment— A, B, C and D—for one month, and I am a new woman, feel like living again, zaining 5 pounds.” Mrs. F. writes: “I tried your experi- ment of 10 weeks for sick headache. ‘Will say it has greatly benefited me in every way. Have not had one sick headache since I started the experi- ment. 1 am still taking the calcium and cod liver oil. ‘gl Mrs. R, E. W. writes: “My daugh- ter is taking your experimental course for migraine headache. This her sixth week and she hasn't had an at- tack since she started, but previous to taking the treatment she never went more than 10 days or two weks with- out an attack.” Let us hope this is something more than a natural remis- sion, such as may occur in any case of migrane without reason. Mrs. B. writes June 22: “I've been trying your experiment for migraine headache, and haven’t had one since 1 began taking the treatment May 7.” But Mrs. B. doesn't give an inkling about the frequency of attacks before “I was much dull headaches, the experiment. J. T. writes: “Seeing your offer of the experiment for migraine victims 1 right away thought of my wife who for years has suffered. I, too,. suf- fer since boyhood, but ladies first, so 1 had the wife try it out. Well, for four ‘weeks it worked wonders, then she had a furious spell . . . Needless {o say I have not vet started the experiment myself. How about your other victims?” J. T. is a canny fellow. When he comes to die he’ll probably want ’em to bury his wife. I hope, though, it will be the other way about. Mrs. L. D. writes: “Here I am again to tell you how wonderful I am after completion of the 10 weeks’ experi- ment for migraine. When I wrote you a month ago to report that I had a nausea spell you said I had better consult a physician, but I didn’t be- cause for nine years that's all I have been doing and Im rather tired of it. All I did was to _cut down the cod liver oil because I was gaining and feeling so fine (perhaps I had overdone that part, for I took four tablepoon- fuls a day, and you had advised only one, I think). You can’t imagine how wonderful it is to feel well again. I don’t know how to thank you. I am most grateful.” You're very welcome, ma'am. 1 have a stack of more or less favor- able reports on the experiment; most of 'em assume I have telepathic power and know the history of their cases intuitively.

Chop half a small cabbage as you would for slaw, add six or seven crackers rolled fine, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one or two eggs, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients and fill the several large cabbage leaves with the mixture. Roll the leaves together and fasten with string or toothpicks. Cover the cabbage rolls with milk and cook slowly in a deep kettle or double boiler until thoroughly done. ‘The same recipe may be used by baking the ingredients in a baking dish and not using the large cabbage leaves.

YOUR BY PROF. JOS ‘Why Stutter? ‘We shall never control stuttering or | help stutterers to cure themselves | nntil we know more about why peo- wle stutter. Book after book has been written, and system after system tried, and still the world is full of stutterers. w Because in the fleld of mind or nerves or personality nothing is simple. There are no short-cuts. The mere machinery of speaking is complicated. Baby talk and such hang- overs as lisping show the stages of control. But most children easily man- age the mouth-tricks of pronuncia- tion. It isn't the mechanics of speech that bother the ical stutterer; it s speaking as a social job. The mus- cles used in speaking are still earlier used as expressions of emotion—in gurgles, cries, shouts, laughter, sighs, growls or howls of anger, shrieks of fear, gasps of pain, groans of miser: But speaking develops as the gre: highway of communication and social response. Nervousness in social ex- pression is thus drawn into the custo- mary speech outlet. Stuttering is a speech symptom of nervousness. It is so because speaking may be a trying social-emotional bit of behavior. It isn't so for -the most of us under fa- miliar situations: but who hasn’t been struck dumb with stage fright, or ton- gue-tied with embarrassmer.t or hem- med and hawed and hesitated and stuttered a little when overcome with emotion? ‘When you blush, twitch, fidget, are awkward, can’t command what brains you have, you stutter with some other part of your anatomy. Stuttering is self-consciousness running out in speech, as blushing is the same show- ing in the finer blood vessels. Trem- bling, fumbling, stumbling is embar- rassed sel(-consciousness disturbing the control of other muscle.systems. Speaking invites the attention of your audience to size you up. Speaking is calling attention to yourself, putting yourself on show, committing your- self. If you are timid, shy, reserved, you show it by the disturbance of the most delicate social mechanism of the personality, your speech. Once the spasm gets started, there is added the self-consciousness of real- izing that everybody is aware of your handicap; the hill becomes a mountai The stutterer gets worse because ne knows he stutters and knows painfully that others know it. He can't be him self while talking. The kind of a per- son who wouldn't be thus disturbed is the kind who wouldn't be disposed to stutter in the first place. You can’t imagine a glib salesman stuttering. To cure stuttering you have to re-educate the personality. The details tell the same story. It's almost true that the reason why rela- tively so few girls stutter is that they can’'t afford to. Again, stuttering i creases in the years of greatest sh ness. Stutterers don’t stutter while singing because that isn’t talking to any one; it’s just performing with your voice; though you do feel dif- ferently in practicing to yourself ard in performing to an audience, what- ever be your “act.” Some children MIND And How to Keep It Fit EPH JASTROW. stutter more at home; others more at school; some boys stutter only and others more in the presence of girls. It all depends upon the soclal situa- tion. One stutterer had no trouble in calling up a telephone number; the operator meant nothing to him. But he began to stutter when he had to converse with his “party” at the other end of the line, not seen, but realized through speech. Tliness or shock will intensify stut- tering and bring on a relapse after partial recovery. In the war there were many cases of soldiers beginning to stutter after shock or injury, which proved to be a relapse back to an out- grown difficulty of their boyhood. But all this is far from the whole story olf stuttering; it is only the introduc- tion, (Covyright, 1927.) Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. October 13, 1790—A group of property holders and business men of Georgetown today signed a_paper for presentation to President Wash- ington, offering their lands in the vicinity of the town as a site for the Federal city and explaining the ad- vantages of the location. They of- fered to sell the land on such terms as the President might consider reasonable. “If the Federal City should be erected on navigation,” they de- clared, “no place in the small dis- tance from the mouth of the Eastern Branch to the highest tidewater offers 80 many advantages . . . and it is conceived that the hilliness of the country, far from being an objection, will be thought a desirable circum- stance, as it will at once contribute to the beauty, health and security of a city intended for the seat of em- pire.” October 13, 1792—The corner stone of the White House was laid today. October 13, 1797—The opening of the “Potomak Bridge,” at Little Falls, was announced today. The tolls were at the rate of 3 cents for foot pas- sengers, 8 cents for man and horse, 25 cents for two-wheeled vehicles and 50 cents for four-wheeled vehicles. October 13, 1893—Senator William V. Allen of Nebraska held the floor of the Senate for 14 consecutive hours in an effort to force a vote on the Tucker bill for the repeal of the Federal eclection laws, making the longest continuous speech in Con- gress up to that time.

Breakfasts have played no impor- tant roles during the Summer months. When the child failed to eat a good breakfast he could always run in at 10 o'clock and devour an orange or a left-over piece of toast and could thus “hold out” until noon. Now break- fasts are vastly important, for with- out a good, substantial meal under his belt the child is going to have to wait until noon. The long hours of sleep provide fast enough for the gorwing child. In the morning he needs food. To children who have been allowed to go without breakfast for a long time the thought of eating is almost nauseating. But they must be retaught to enjoy break- fast. A glass of strained orange juice upon arising is appetizing and ap- petite-making. By the time the child is dressed for school he will be ready to eat a slice or two of crisp bacon, a plece of well-buttered whole wheat or graham toast, a dish of hot, home. cooked cereal with s r and top milk, and a glass of milk or a cup of weak cocoa. This may sound like a lot, but the portion of cereal need be only two or three tablespoonfuls, and this amount will be eaten with relish, when a larger portion would go un- touched. Almost every child likes cocoa ai ice, browned toast. Oat- meal, cracked wheat, whole barley, browned rice—these furnish ample nourishment, and, if cooked for a long time in a double beiler or overnight in a fireless' cooker, are bound to taste delicious. The chief trouble with this break- fast eating is that the child n't time to enjoy it. Morning is always a rush period. Breakfasts are too often thrown at children and eaten on the run. They fear that they won't reach school in time. Their appetites, small at best, desert them. They find them- selves unable to enjoy food, just as a nervous adult about to embark on a Journey is unable to swallow or taste. Put the children to beg earlier and get them up earlier. Fiften minutes may be just the differenc@ between an unhurried and a frenzied breakfast hour. Keep in mind how important is this particular meal. No child can do good school work on an empty stomach. Eating breakfast is just a habit. Squeich any disposition on the part of the child to “1 can't eat break- fast!” Begin with a few things and add more gradually. It is the mother’s business to see that he does eat a good breakfast. Banana Roll. Add a pinch of salt and one cupful of sugar to four well beaten eggs, sift one cupful of flour with two table- spoonfuls of baking powder and stir in lightly. The batter should be thin. Pour into long well greased pans just enough to cover the bottom and bake. Spread a tea towel on the table, turn the cake out on it, and spread with banas slightly sweetened. Jelly may be used instead of the bananas FEATURES." WORD GOLF—Everybody’s Playing It BY JOHN KENOX. i Gu from SOBER to TIGHT. This is largely a matter of supply and capacity.

Shrimp or Lobster Omelet. Beat three egg yolks with 12 table- spoonfuls of milk and a little salt and sugar. Mix in with a knife the stiffly whipped egg whites and pour the mix- | ture into a well buttered omelet pan. Bake in a moderate oven. Meanwhile stir two tablespoonfuls of flour with one tablespoonful of butter in a sauce- pan over the fire and add one-half a pint of milk, stirring well all the time. Boil for 10 minutes, then add a small can of shrimps or lobster cut into small pieces and season with salt white pepper and a little sugar, which brings out the flavor well. When the omelet is done turn it onto a hot dish. spread with the lobster or shrimp sauce and fold over in omelet style.
