VWinter Comfort Indoors and Out BY LYDIA' LE BARON WALKER. In the Winter the homemaker has to e alert about temperature and keeping warm, not only for herself but for her WARM OUTER WRAPS ARE ESPE- CIALLY ESSENTIAL TO PERSONS LIVING IN OVERHEATED QUAR- TERS. family. There sre steam heated apart- ments that are so hot in Winter that when going out. The people who live in houses or apartments that are kept warm require more outer wraps than do those accustomed to cooler rooms. It is possible to dress indoors as one would in Summer time when living in some apartments. Hence the necessity of the wraps for out-of-doors wear, ers often are inadequate, ematic care is not apt as in apartments. s . warm woolen frocks and stockings that protect from the cold are essential in the poorly heated house, but outer garments need not be quite so heavy for the house apparel is particularly warm. It is also true that those who live in houses kept “on the cool side” of 68 degrees are more im- mune to cold. It is living in overheated rooms that makes persons susceptible to cold. If you do live in cool rooms, however, it is well to know how to keep com- fortable, for this is essential to and happiness also. It is di/Dowlt ®© maintain an equable temper whug 3 Well carpeted floors keep o1t -ral and where children play on the So6rs, carpets and rugs are nec . If win- dows do not fit well in thdir casements, make tubes of cloth and fill them with sand or sawdust and put over the crack where the sashes come together, and press one firmly against the sash at the window sill. The tubes should be about 1'4 inches in diameter, and the length should be equal to the width of the win- dow. Instead of using hot water bottles to keep feet warm In bed, use an old plece of woolen knitted wear such as a sweat- er, a wide scarf or a shoulder shawl, not woven, but of knitted wool. Spread it over the undersheet just where the feet go. It is amazing the comfort such an arrangement gives. The wool holds the warmth of the body instead of dis- pelling it, as do cotton or linen sheets, It is not necessary to wrap the feet in the knitted garment. Just let them rest on it, unless the feet are very cold on going to bed. The great advantage of using this knitted garment for a foot warmer is that it does not make the feet tender. Constant use of a hot-water bottle does. | T have known of cases of chilblains di- rectly traceable to the use of a hot-wa- ter bottle. It was comfortable to put the feet on its well protected surface, but the contact brought too radical a change, and in a short time chilblains resulted. If the feet are cold before go- ing to bed, try rubbing them vigorously with a turkish towel. The friction is good for the circulation. Then, when the feet are warm, put them immediate- 1y on the knitted woolen garment, and comfort will result, if one is in normal care has to be exerted, not indoors, but health, KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY PROF.

When the steak has broiled |for five minutes, dust with salt and | pepper, baste with butter and cover it | over with the oysters, and without delay | put it into a very hot oven for 10 min- utes. Dish up without removing the oysters, baste thoroughly with the juice that is in the bottom of the pan, and send at once to the table. The oysters should have the gills thoroughly curled and be slightly browned * of toot IN MOUTH hygiene, as in all else, the secret of suc- cess lies in finding “the cause.” No matter how much you brush your teeth, it is only an idle gesture if the brushing does not guard against the cause of tooth decay and gum irritations. Recent statements, ob- tained through an investi- gation among 50,000 prac- ticing dentists, shed very definite light as to this cause and the best means to combat it. 95% of the an- swers agreed that: NG SONNYSAYING: BY FANNY Y.

The placing of the larger pleces of furniture in the living room is a matter which should be given consideration from many angles; and the correct ef- fect of lighting is one of the foremost ideas to bear in mind. The sofa, as shown in the fllustra- tion, could have been placed in one of several positions in the room; but be- cause the convenience of those who wished to sit ‘or lie and read, this piece has been put where the sunlight falls from the left: and at night artificial light may be thrown from either side. There is a simple dignity about this room, for the conventional designs lend it that severity which is not at- tained by the use of fabrics with nat- ural flower patterns. Cafe au lait has been chosen for the woodwork, and the walls have been treated with a paper the ground of which 1s in this shade and the con- ventional design in jade green. The floor covering is jade green and the | overdraperies a combination of jade | green, Chinese red and gold, with a touch of black. The furniture coverings repeat the unusual tones found in the pattern of the draperies (Conyright. 1078.)

Guard against the cause h decay Acids are the most frequent cause of tooth decay and infected gums. The most serious trouble oc- curs at the place whe; teeth and gums meet— known as The Danger Line. The best product known to neutralize acids in the mouth is Milk of Magnesia. It is evident from this verdict that the dentifrice . you use should contain Milk of Magnesia if it is to bring you real protection. Squibb’s Dental Cream is made with more than 50% of Squibb’s Milk of Mag- nesia. Each time you use it, particles of the Milk of Magnesia are forced into every pit and crevice where acids form. There they neutralize these acids and remain after to neutralize new acids as they form. Squibb’s Dental Cream is safe to use in the most ten- der mouth. 40c a large tube. o1 SQUIBB’S DENTAL CREAM The “Priceless Ingvediant” of Every Product la the Honor and Integrity of Ita Maker | \ FLO SYoRill | et the Twins do the work | sklle Onue of e vale Sl g 3o Uk 30 gl 0 ggaoie ORS STAR, WASHINGTO: FURN ITURE in the W. & J.
