WOMAN’S PAGE. Fire Lighters From Candle Ends BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ‘The use of candles on dinner tables to supply the softest and most becoming light to those around the tables is a [rAm YT . .

Without going further into the for themselves what a festive atmo- sphere these little old-time lighting ele- wnents can add, let us turn to the best disposition of the candle-ends. A de- cidedly mundane change, but every homemaker who employs candles for ihe lighting of her dinner table, or for antique sconces, etc, will appreciate that it is & practical turn of the sub- ject. ‘There are always candle-ends, jonger or shorter according to the way the candles are burned, and it is thrifty to make good use of them. A type of fire-lighter can be made of these old candle-ends that is remi- niscent ‘of the Cape Cod fire-lighters | that cost considerable to buy. The candle-end lighters are equally effective if-not exactly ornam:ntal, unless the homemaker makes use of an attractive brass, iron or copper tankard, or con- tainer to keep them in by an open fire- place. Then thess thrifty lighters vie with the Cape Cod type. The candle-lighter most nearly re- sembling a Cape Cod fire-lighter re- quires besides the holders a round rod of metal 10 or 12 inches in length tipped with a handle at one end. This may be of brass, copper or iron to suit the metal of the holder. The rod should be of fron or steel. An old poker can be used if it is shortened. Fold newspaper into strips 2'2 or 3 inches wide and as thick as a sheet of the newspaper makes it when so folded. Melt the candle-ends in a receptacle over a slow fire,. Wind a folded strip of the newspaper around the unfinished ond of the metal rod, and tie it tightly to the rod. Dip this paper-covered end of the metal rod into the melted eandle- ends and leave it there until the paper has absorbed a good deal of the melted wax, tallcw or paraffin. Remove the rod, and let it dvip into the container of wax. While the wax is still soft scrape off all but a thin coating on the outside of the paper. Put the prepared rod into the copper or other container, and it is ready to be used as a Cape Cod fire-lighter. ‘The way it is used is as follows: When a fire is laid in the fireplace do not put any pager beneath the kindling, but light it by placing the candle-end light- €t beneath the wood, and setting fire to it with a match. The waxed paper will slowly burn itself away as the flame {rom it ignites the wood. Then remove the rod, and replace in the container until prepared as described for another time. A convenient way to have re-fills for these candle-end lighters is to pre- pare as msny coils of paper as you can with the supply of candle-ends on hand. Remove each coil of paper when soaked in the wax, scraped, and cold, except the final one which is left on the . Put these coils away in a. cold place until the rod needs replenishing, and then slip another on its tip, tie in charm of such lighting, other than to suggest readers to try it and find out BEDTIME STORIE A Day of Misery. Pow ereat the suffering is plain en dread and terror mix with pain, d Mother Nature ‘The night. had passed, a night of pain and terrcr, and jolly, ight, round Mr. Sun was climbing up in the blue, blue sky. The young Mu:k- rat, held fast in a cruel steel trap on the of the Laughing Brook, won- dered how the latter could still laugh and sing, and how jolly, bright, round Mr. Sun could continue to smile down on the Green Forest and the Green Meadows when such drgadful things as had happened to him were to be seen. J Muskrat had remained near until after daylight. He had advised young Muskrat to either gnaw that imprisoned leg off or try to twist it off and thus free himself, but the young :Muskrat didn’t have the eourug:{ to do this.

No, sir, it wouldn’t. Well, I must be on my way, for I am hungry. I hnpe that trapper will not come be- fore you have made up your mind. Too bad. Too bad.” Blacky flew away and the young Muskrat crouched in misery trying to make up his mind to do the dreadful thing that both his father and Blacky asked the “SO,” SAID BLACKY, “YOU WERE NOT SO SMART AS YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE.” the Crow had advised him to do.

So. the day_passed, the lonj day the ‘young Muskrat ever ad known. It was a day of misery, a day of suffering and terror and hopeless fright. It was getting almost time for the Black Shadows to come creeping out from the le Hills. That boy who had set t dreadful trap had not come to see if any one had been caught in it. He had been busy about other things. When he thought of that tr‘fi it was to say to himself: “If anything has been caught in it it will be there when I get time to g0 over there.” He didn't once think of the suffering of the little victim of ithat trap. He was cruel, dreadfully cruel, without meaning t> be or realiz- ing that he was. You see, he was thoughtiess. ‘Thoughtlessness often leads to great cruelty. It was not until dusk that he finally headed for the Laughing Brook. (Copyright.

By Lucien PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Everyday Emergencies. In emergencies, housebold or cther- “| wise, it seems that the first thought that enters the head of the idle by- stander is what to do. When or if a doctor 1s summoned, the first thought t':)ll; enters his head on arrival is what 0. A great many mistakes occur in the excitement of the moment, some of them ludicrous, some serious. One of the most serious and common mistakes is to forget to pay the doctor when he comes. Some folks are o thoughtless they forget to pay him ever. The seri- ousness of this is not merely that the doctor is forced to double up his price for those who do pay, but that after a series of such happenings in his young life the doctor, being only human and | having rent to pay and kids to feed, | maybe, 1s 1n danger of becoming cynical or_callous in regard to hurry calls. I have noticed that the dead beats are the first and the loudest in the great chorus of condemnation of doc- tors about their dilatory tactics in re- sponding to such calls. It would be not strange to find some dodo still extant who cherishes a comfy little notion that a doctor is under legal compulsion to come on the hop whenever anybody, no matter who, calls him. To readers who can't keep their emergencies back till we can get around to them, I would suggest the use of O BRADY, M. D. Doc Brady's first-aid kit. This is nothing we are selling. It is just a lit- tle monograph containing complete in- structions for preparing and using your own pocket emergency kit.

Do not send a clipping in lieu of your own written request. I am a psychologist, you know, and by induc- tion I reason that ‘people who substi- tute clippings for their own messages would not make good use of my advice, anyhow. ‘When we planned this pocket kit a few years ago, I thought everybody with a common-school education would know how to resuscitate a friend, stranger, or even a member of his own family in any emergency.
