Keep them in air-tight containers. Hard cookies will then keep crisp and soft cookies will be kept moist. Never keep hard and soft cookies in the same container.

A year ago when we published here news of & new method for the cure of Vi veins, by chemical obliteration, quite a number of readers who sought advice about the treatment met with a rebuff from their physicians., Unfor- tunately not all of our noble profession are progressive in spirit, and a few of us are smug little doctors when we have managed to build up a fair practice. In this smug complacency we are liable to laugh at any such newfangled notion, coming from a patient, especially if it seems the patient got it from the news- paper. Newspaper science is notorious- ly funny that way. This idea of curing varicose veins without an operation and proloi confinement in hospital was g;oblb Jjust another of Brady's pipe eams.

So Chigworth took his seat on time, and made his pledges good; should some one plan to spend a dime, we find him sawing wood. “This is a useless, vain expense,” the stately Chigworth speaks; “we councilmen must show some sense and strive to stop the leaks. We're asked to spend a penny here, to spend a nickel there, and this is what, it seems quite clear, keeps voters in de- spair. The voters have to pay the tax, and it'’s my only aim to ease the burden on their backs, which burden is a shame.” We should be proud of such & man, and hail him as a chief, we should indorse his frugal plan, de- signed to save us grief. Economy has been our text since first we learned to speak, and wanton waste has kept us vext, has made us wail and shriek.

Who Writes the Letters Dorothy Dix Answers? Dm MISS DIX: I am a young man and have been married to the sweetest | girl in the world for 18 months. I worship her and she worships me, but | we have had a bit of hard luck and have had to sell our car. So at night there | is nothing to do but sit at home and we can't stand that, so what do you think | we had better do? She would go to work and help me buy another car so we could go around and have a big time, but a married woman has a hard time finding & job in this town. If she was not married she could get work very easily, as she is an expert stenographer. So we are thinking of getting a divorce. I could live with my people and save money, and in that way we could get another car and I could have dates with her three or four times a week and] we would both be happy, and when I have worked up in the business world we could remarry. We can't stand this just sitting at home without a car. What do you think of our plan? ‘W. McL. Answer: I think that you and your wife must have gasoline in your veins instead of blood, and a rubber tire in your breasts in place of a heart. Certainly if you care more for an automobile than you do for each other, and if speeding it up in a car means more to you than having your own home and the nearness and dearness of husbandlood and wifehood, then by all means call a taxi and break the traffic laws beating it to the divorce court as quickly as you can. You are not fit for the responsibilities of marriage and you have no right to & wife, and your wife has no right to a husband until you learn a better sense of values, and to put love and duty and the sacred sense of the | o obligation you have assumed above the pleasure of feeling the wheels go round. But if you break up your home and you and your wife part just for the sake of having & car, don't you think you will be making a pretty poor bargain? Don't you think that you will be selling: out your birthright for a mess of pottage? Tl grint you that a car is a delightful luxury to have and that it is a pleasant diversion to ride around in one of an evening, but is it worth the price of the man or woman you love? 1s it worth having your young romance killed? 1Is it worth the thrill you got out of making your first home together? Is it worth the jealousy and suspicion you are bound to feel when you are parted and know that each is free to make another marriage, perhaps with somebody who can offer the bribe of a de luxe car? ’ Is it worth the sordid charges that you must bring against each other in a divorce court, because you will have to offer to the law some better excuse for breaking your marriage vows than that you preferred an automobile to each other? You can’t name a car as a corespondent, you know. T seems to me that when you are willing to swap off & perfectly good husband or wife, and one that suits you, for a car, you are making just about the most disastrous trade that any people ever did make. For don't deceive yourself by thinking that after your divorce things will be just as they were before, and that when you have a new car and are making enough to pay for the gasoline, you can marry again and live happily ever after. We can't lay down life and take it up again just where we left it. Everything changes. We change ourselves. And, above all, we can never recover the feeling of a vanished dsy. the same old If you give up each other now, you can never love a home. You in way. You can never have the same feeling about n—esumn; can never get back the old trust and faith in each other that you have betrayed. |' Other people will come into your lives, other interests. Other men will take your pretty little ex-wife joyriding. You will go out with other girls. The chances are that you will marry others and it is this loss you are risking when you give each other up for the sake of a car. You say that neither of you can endure sitting at home of an evening without an automobile. I suppose you cannot even vision the horror of those days before the automobile was invented when everybody sat at home and amused themselves as best they could. And, believe me, son, they were just as happy as you are tearing along a road at 50 miles an hour. So why not content yourself for a year or two with the sedentary evenings that your parents and your grandparents found so enjoyable? ‘Why not learn how to read? You may think you don’t like books, but that } is only because you haven't the sort that appeal to you. Go to the public library and get them to give you books of hair-raising adventure, detective stories that | will keep you so engrossed that the evenings will pass by before you know it. Then there is the pleasure of conversation. Surely you and your wife must have much to talk about that you can say far better sitting quletly at home than | you could in a car that is whistling through the wind. | And it is mighty entertaining work fixing up a home. You haven't any tdea how much fun you can get out of making furniture yourself and painting up things in the new, bright, gay colors that are so alluring and fashionable now. But what I would really urge on you as a pastime is to put in these careless evenings trying to improve your technique in whatever ‘occupation you follow. Go to night school and take a special course in your trade if you can. If you can’t, get the text books on the subject and study them and get your wife | to study with you so she won't be left behind. If you will do that, you will find that you have no long, boresome evenings with nothing to do hanging on your hands. The time wiill go by in a Jifly because you will be absorbed in what you are learning, and you will fit yourself to do s0 much better work that you will get better pay and so shorten up the time before you can have an automobile that hasn’t been paid for with the wreck of your marriage. P SEN DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I read your article on automobile grafters °'ith much interest and would like to get your view on the other side of this question. How about the country people with their automobiles coming to the city and sponging off their city friends? I have a sister who lives in the country and when she gets lonesome she piles her entire family into the car and pays us a visit, lasting anywhere up to two weeks. We live in a few rooms and when she comes we have to pack in like sardines. And she never offers to help with any of the work, or to contribute to any of the ex) for entertainment, but when she gets home she writes the most beau bread-and-butter letter. And that's all. A DISGUSTED SISTER. Answer: What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and just exactly the same strictures apply to the grafting country automobilists as to the deadbeat city ones. One sins probably against the decencies of life just as often as the other, and they might score matters off and call it even if the rs grafted off each other. But they don’t. The panhandlers are foxy folks and they are wise enough to choose as their victims those who will not retaliate. Therefore, the A’s, who think it so lovely to descend with a car full of friends on country acquaintances, never c! e B's, who also have & car and are fond of gadding ;;m would be sure to repay the visit, but they pick on the C's, who never leave me. And when Mrs. D. takes her collection of olive branches to the city to pay a surprise visit, she doesn't go to the E's, who have a house full of children of their own who would enjoy & week in the country, but she pops in on the F's, who have no family but a superannuated cat that can't be moved. And the moral of the whole matter is to follow the golden rule and visit as we would be visited by, which being interpreted means never to be a self- invited guest, and never to go anywhere without a specific invitation. There are plenty of ways in which our friends can let us know when we are wanted. % s b ROTHY DIX.

Historic Quick-Thinkers The Daughter of the Florentine Joiner Who Became Virtual Ruler of France. BY J. P. On the 24th of April, 1617, as Concini, the Itallan whom Marie de’ Medici had made marshal and prime minister of France, left her apartment in the Louvre, he was notified by De Vitry, | captain of the guard, that he was under | arrest. Concini tore to bits - the which De Vitry presented. “Soldiers, seize your prisoner,” cried the captain to three men at his side. “The first who approaches me dies,” irned Coa;:lni. drawing his sword. “‘Fire in the name of King,” com- manded De Vitry. Three pistol shots rang out. Concini fell dead. It was by this act that Louis XTIT with his favorites conniving, threw off the yoke of Queen Marie de' Medici, his Italian mother, who had ruled as regent after the death of his father, Henry IV. But his emanicipation could not be complete until Concini’s wife also was destroyed. ‘This remarkable woman, whose clever plotting and indomitable had raised Concini to his high position, was cl with having swayed Marie de’ Medici by sorcery and She was tried, convicted and warrant pointed second tire-woman to the prin- cess, she turned every stone to win her affection and so gained an unshakable power over her.

You must pay special attention to this of the face, but that is not hard, luse the heat and cold feels so nice that you'll uncon- sclously give the eyes as much as need.

Eve night, rub the eyelids and the skin around this part with a thick massage cream, and leave on as much as possible.
