WOMAN’S PAGE." Care of Mechanical Equipments BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every mechanical household equip- ment has to be used correctly if it is to give satisfaction. A careless handling of it, or wrong management, will bring poor results, even if it does not actually damage the equipment. To get the | best out of each device notice its re- sponse to your handling. You will find out many little ways for yourself that | | i | through which strands are forced, that not against it. But many of these same homemakers will run a vacuum cleaner any way over these rugs. Run the cleaner either with the nap or across it, not against it. You will notice that the rug will appear darker in places, and the surface will not be smooth and even when the cleaner is run against the nap. Carpets minus naps (smooth-face), or with vertical EIIE do not require this particular handling. Hooked rugs should not be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. -In these floor coverings, no stitchery hold the loops in place.

C. PEATTIE. Early Season. Spring does not arrive at the same time everywhere, even within sight of the Capitol dome. It is several days earlier in the city than in the country, and sometimes several weeks, and this for two prominent reasons—first, that the atmosphere of a city, sheltered from winds and warmed by chimneys and heated buildings, is warmer, and also because garden flowers are actually more early blooming, naturally, than most of our wild flowers. Even in the country you can wander the open fields without meeting much more than a rather scared-looking vio- let or two. Only in the woods are the | anemones and windflowers, the Spring | beauty, the wcod rush and the tiny | Pennsylvania sedge, the hepaticas and starry chickweed and toothwort in bloom. The dark loam of the forest absorbs the sun’s heat readily; the shelter of the trees, even though leaf- less, counts for much. And cbviously, too. the wood flowers need to do their blooming now; by June the shade will be s0 deep that few are the blossoms FEATURES,’ BEDTIME STORIES Best Drum of All Besardiess of how ‘e alwa: sood the nt the very llow Wing the All the scolding that Chatterer the Red Squirrel could do had no effect on Yellow Wing the Flicker. Early every morning he sent his Jong rolling rat-a- tat-tat-tat-tat ringing through the Green Forest as he drummed on a dead limb of the tree in which Chatterer lived. He didn't pay any attention to Chatterer. Between the long rolls of his drumming he would call, a loud, clear note, several times repeated. It could not be called a song, yet with the rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat of his drumming gave expression to the song in his heart, the joy of Spring. One morning after his drumming was ™ licker.

When she was planning her menu she re- membered that one guest's husband liked all kinds of pie excepl pumpkin, | and that always gave him indigestion. | So, although the wife was very fond | of that particular pie, she rarely had | it. Another guest had a husband who | didn't like any kind of salad head) | lettuce, and sh: was very fond of del- ectable and fancy fruit salads. The | third guest was on a bit of a diet and | found it hard to eat all the vegetables | the doetor had prescribed. So the hostess arranged a three- course lunchecn with one course made especially for each guest. Here is the menu: Vegetabl: Soup With Plain and Toasted Cheese Cracke:s Frui.

One of the questions that come most frequently to this column is about how to lose weight. A large proportion of these questions are, unfortunately, from girls who wish to reduce below the normal weight for their age and height. | Such weight reduction is, of course, | dangerous to health, as well as to beauty. Then there are the mature | women, who are really too stout, for whom reducing is a health measure. | ‘They should, however, have a doctor’s advice on diets suited to their indi- | vidual needs. Between these two classes are the slightly overweight pec- ple, who could and should lose & few pounds by exercising moderation at | the table and also between meals. { Dieting fads have been much con- demned by physicians, and rightly’so, yet there always seem to be women who | are ready to risk their health and | beauty in the pursuit of slimness. One of the freak diets that has no doubt of beauty is the Hollywood 18-day diet, which is analyzed in a recent issue of & health magazine. It is all very well to condemn such diets on general principles, but mod- ern women demand & reason for such taboos. If the 18-day diet will accom- plish its purpose of pulling down weight, why should it not be given a warm welcome by all overweights? There are at least six points, aside from monotony of menus, that are brought out against this particular diet other reducing diets of this class. Pirst, is their low caloric value, which" e consequent flabbiness and wrinkles. The second point is deficiency in pro- teins of meat, eggs, milk and cheese, which are essenfal for normal bufld- ing and repiir of muscle tissues. There are cases of kidney disorders in which doctors prescribe diets very low in pro- My Neighbor Says: Cream cheese sandwiches cut in fancy stapes and served with hot or cold beverages make nice after- noon_refreshments.

Deficiency in sufficient calcium, phosphorus and iron makes three im- portant counts against unbalanced re- ducing diets. One of the chief objections to dras- tic reducing diets from the physician’s viewpoint is that they undermine health. A deficiency in vitamin A, which builds up the body's resistance to infection, is the sixth dietetic error found in the 18-day reducing diet. According to this erticle, vitamin A is found in butter, cream and whole milk. These are foods commonly excluded from un- scientific reducing diets, which usually call for dry toast, coffee without cream and skim milk, or no milk at all. “JOLLY-POLLY Lesson in Etiquette.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Successful. “Thou shalt have good success.”— Joshua, 1:8. Did you ever stop to think that you can be as successful as anybody? You can be. You may not have as much ability as the other fellow has. Your advantages and opportunities may not be equal to his. You may not equal him in the results you achieve. But you can be just as successful. ‘When is a man a success? One is a success from the moment he begins to do his best. And the converse of that is equally true. No matter how much one has accomplished, he cannot stop and be called a successful man. When one ceases to do his besi, he ceases to be a success. I know we usually associate success with a goal that has been reached. But what i street? is a street of failures. Wealth? Mil- | lionaires are more often miserable than merry. Position? I observe that the peanut has been exalted o a high place in the commercial world. Fame? “I would not give a peck of refuse wheat for all in the world that is called fame,” said the famous Edmund Burke. ‘The only goal worthy to be assotiated with success is the goal of a useful life. ‘The moment you begin to be useful, you have reached that goal. But it is a goal you have to keep on reaching, over and over, every day, to keep on being suc- cessful. It is like the legendary bag of gold at the end of the rainbow. It keeps receding before you as you aj proach it, leading you on, “still achiev- ing, still pursuing.” elways striving to attain a higher and higher mark in use- ful endeavor. If you are doing something worth while and useful, and doing it well ac- cording to your ability and advantages, and meanwhile keeping yourself alert to perceive and grasp new opportunities as they present themselves, you are al- ready a success—as much 5o as you | ever will be, or anybody else ever | will be. | Success is something that is measured | by how well you do, not by how much you do. For you, its standard of measurement is not what somebody else | has achieved, but whet you can achieve, | Therefore, if you have an adequate | passion of desire and a sufficient in- stinct of pursuit to consecrate yourself to its attainment, you can be as suc- Easy street o | new little red drum ever was more de- 1 “THAT 1S QUEER LOOKING WOOD,” THOUGHT YELLOW WING. over he flew up to the Old Orchard, hoping he might find Mrs. Yellow Wing there, for she had not returned from the Sunny South with him and he was impatient for her arrival. She wasn't there and he flew to a tree growing close by the back porch of Farmer Brown’s house. He looked down on the roof of that pomrch and suddenly it struck hith that that roof didn't look like the roof of the house. To begin with it was red. “That is queer looking wood.” thought Yellow Wing. “Yes, sir; that is queer looki wood. Punny I never have noticed it before. I wonder if it is like other wood.” He flew down on the roof and found that his claws didn't hold on it, and that was queer. However, that roof was nearly flat, so it didn’t matter. He struck it with his bill and the sound | made him jump. Yes, sir; the sound made him jump. He struck again, harder than before, and his eyes sparkled. The best drum he ever had had in the Green Forsst didn't com- pare with this. He beat a long roll— rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat. What a drum! It was wonderful. At least it was won- derful to Yellow Wing. He tried it “Never was there such a drum!” cried Yellow Wing, and tried to dance for y. Have you guessed what Yellow Wing had discovered? It was a new tin roof that had been painted red. Yellow Wing hadn't happened that way since it had been laid. No small boy with a ighted than was “Yellow Wing. He tried drumming in different places. The result was always the same. There had been joy in his heart before, but now he couldn’t contain himself. So it came about that very early the next morning when there was just light enough for him to see to gst there. Yellow Wing was on that tin roof. At once he began beating his long roll, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat-tat- tat. Such a noise! In the stiliness of that early hour it carried for a long about Mrs. Yellow Wing will hear that,” said Yellow Wing, tal to himself. “I wonder what she’ll say. She’ll won- der where I am and what kind of a drum I have. My, my, my, just listen to it!” and then he beat a double roll, rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat. Now, Farmer Brown’s Boys’ bedroom had a window opening on that porch roof and that window was open, for he believes in fresh air.

RUMFORD Y MYRTLE ME ELDRED, I Quite frequently, when the baby has been introduced to bottle feedings and discovers how easily he may have his feedings, he becomes dissatisfled with nursing. But ordinarily when a baby declines to nurse it is because the food is so scanty or so difficult to get that he refuses 1o make the effort. Mrs. R. R. writes: “My baby is five months old and dces not want to nurse. He will take a mouthful and then turn ::\'l Wlmli‘:fl wear myself Du'.h‘:‘l'.h im. you suggest giv a bottle? If 50, what milk un‘fxd how much shall I give him? cereal twice a day now. I also have trouble with constipation and have to give him enemas every day. Thank you for your advice.” As I have not the slightest inkling of the baby's previous gain, I find it impossible to tell you how much milk to use. Fcrmulas are not figured hit or miss, but are based on baby's age and weight, so without that informa- tion I cannot judge how much nour- ishment he needs. The constipation is Just a natural consequence of the small intake of food. There are two suggestions I would make. Have the baby’s mouth exam- ined to be sure there are no sores in it that might make nursing painful and difficult. Then' send me a self- addressed, stamped envelope for the leaflet on early f from six weeks fo one year, and also the leaflet on “How to Pigure Sweet Milk Formulas.” With these two leaflets and the assur~ ance that baby is well and able to eat, you can go d from there. Do weigh the baby and find cut what he is gain- ing weekly. That is of vital importance the first year of his life. Mrs. J. P. L. contributes the following suggestion: “I have noticed in your col- umn several times that mothers find it difficult to wash the child’s hair with- out taking great care nct to get soap in his eyes. I solved the problem very simply by using the white of an egg instead of soap. Hair dressers recom- mend this method, and it leaves the scalp clean and the hair soft and glossy. - This costs but little more than & soap shempco and is one nice way of using up the egg white when a mother is using just the yolk for the baby's formula.” It has always been my understand- ing that the yolk was just as valuable for cleansing as the white, Why not use the whole egg?
