For the wrinkles in' the forehead above the brows, in addition to the treatment by massage, a bandage should be worn. Owing, however, to the conformation of the face and the impossibility of binding the space between the eyes without also cover- ing the visual organs, the only really convenient cure for frown wrinkles is massage. Incidentally, the friction ap plied to these parts with emollient creams will bring relief to the sufferer from a cold in the head or a catarrhal affection of the nasal organs.

Buy Armour Star Bacon— The National ARMOUR S coMPANY Ry THE BEE: The hours of ordinary clock time are shown running from left to right at the top of this diagram, which is divided into twenty-four parallel hour spaces. the bottom of these hour spaces is shown the result of the daylight saving scheme. The figure above shows how the hour will be theoretically saved by moving ahead the clock hands one hour. By GARRETT P. SERVISS. Herewith is a diagram prepared in England which shows at ap lgnce the practical application of the much- talked of “daylight saving” plan, which has, or is to have, the sanction of law in Germany, England and some other European countries and which some people think ought to be introduced here. Judging from remarks that I have heard it would seem that there are persons who really suppose that an act of the legislature can change the course of the sun in the heavens or, more correctly speaking, the conse- quences of the rotation of the earth an? of the inclination of its axis. But, before discussing that, let us seec what the diagram tells us, It must be remembered that it was drawn to show the situation in Eng- land, and that London lies nearly eleven degrees north of New York. At New York the longest summer day is about fourteen hours and fifty- five minutes; at London it is about sixteen hours and twenty-four min- utes. On the diagram a summer average has been struck, the hours of day- light being represented by white and lightly shaded spaces covering fifteen and one-half hours, and those of dark- ness by more deeply shaded spaces covering: eight and one-half hours. Nine workmi hours are represented between the heavy sloping lines. The figure of a clock face, below, shows how the new law, in effect on May 21, causes (apparently) the loss of hour by making the clock read noon when it is only 11 a. m. by mean sun time, and 1 p. m. when it is noon by the sun. As long as the new setting of the clock continues clock noon will re- main an hour ahead of redl noon. Along the bottom of the diagram the hours have been arranged ac- cording to the new schedule, and along the top according to the old, or true, time, By running ‘the eye along the vertical lines from the bot- tom to top the effect as regards the hours of rising in the morning is seen. Take, for instance, the heavy line on the left showing the sunrige; by the new clock time it is 5 a. m, but the true time shown at the top of the line, isdam Of course the sun has not been having a morning nap. It rises at the same absolute time as before, and the man who has been in the habit of getting up, by the clock, at 5 a. m. (an hour after sunrise), will continue to ft up at 5 a.’m, but, since the clock has been set ahead, the sun wilt now. rise at the same time the man does. In other words he deliberately sets the clock to fool himself into get- ting out of bed at sunrise instead of when the eun is an hour hith. He abrogates his own will; and becomes a slave to a lying clock. Take a broad view of the chart, it will be seen that the ?eunl effect of the change is to shift the warking squally and Jones e OMAHA, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1916. Fashions -:- Woman’s Work -: hours back toward the time of sun- rise, or eastward across the meridian. This increases proportionally the afternoon hours of leisure. But pre- cisely the same effect would be ob- tained without any falsification , or self-fooling by simply rising an Hour earlier, or beginning work an hour earlier, and then quitting work and going to bed an hour sooner. You remain awake or you work the same number of hours in either case. Our clocks fool us enough by their caprices as it is; why, then, add a systematic deception to their indi- cations? It isa sop to humamstupid- ity, It is an attempt to make a ma- chine rule the day when the only pos- sible real ruler is the sun. Calling 11 o'clock noon does not make it noon; only the arrival of the sun on the meridian can bring noon, And that fact reveals a weakness of the new scheme which is well worth considering. It is everywhere cus- tomary to stop work for an hpur at high noon, and that for reasons which need not be pointed out. But if we go by a clock which sayssll o'clock is noon we will quit work an hour be- fore the sun has culminated and re- sume work at precisely the moment when its rays are poured down most effectively. And if, to counterbalance this, we decide to make the hour of quitting work 1 p. m. by the clock, then we reintroduce into the new system the very thing it was invented to avoid, viz.: a change in the habitual clock - Things Worth Knowing If a gloss is desired on linen, add a teaspoonful of salt to the starch when making. x To remove obstinate stains from hardwood floors rub them with a cloth wet with turpentine.

Would it be any easier to ac- custom oneself to keep on working until 1 o’clock z; m., by the clock, be- fore stopping for the poon rest, than to begin working say at 6 a. m. in- stead of 7 a. m.? Of course, as everybody knows, even our present clock time is not absolutely true to the’ real suntime. Owing to causes which cannot be dis- cussed here, no clock can be made to precisely follow the sun, For that reason a “mean sun” has been invented which keeps the aver- age steps of the real sun. But the departures are usually slight and never exceed, at the maximum, more than about fifteen minutes, while at certain times there s no difference between mean sun and real sun time. The the system of standard meridian times, especially useful for railfoad urposes, falsifies the record more or ess, but this has now become fixed and causes no great inconvenience, because in longitudes wherethe de- parture of standard time from local time is conveniently wide, clocks in shops can be regulated to local mean time. £ But the “daylight saving” scheme introduces a new and unnecessary complication into what is already a very intricate subject and its adop- tion here would emphasize the asser- tion of the poet (slightly amended): This world s all & fleeting show, For man’s {llusion given; There's nothing certain here below, The only truth's in heaven! varnish of one part shellac.and two parts naphtha.

She was small and stooped and her hair was white as a drift of new fallen snow. The blue ribbon with silver-letter-spelled word “Delegate” looked strange on that narrow, black clad breast—at first. But only at first. It was the spirit of the bien- nial convention ofsthe General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs to be ip- terested in everything and surprised at nothing. I learned that that blue ribbon was not a jest, nor a mistake. It was the little old woman’s badge of honor. +'She was a delegate to the convention. The club in a village far from the metropolis had canvassed its talent and had decided that she was _the wisest woman among them. They concluded that being the wisest she would gather more wisdom in the world’s capital and bring back more of it than would some younger and more foolish woman. I am sure they were right. Every day when I dropped in to hear some distinguished speaker or gather in- spiration from that assemblage of 15,000, women, I looked for the littlé woman with the white hair and the big, blue badge. She was always there, her delicate face, seamed with the marks of time, turned toward the Flatform. She was like a withering lower drinking the long-delayed dew. She was a_human flower and her thirst was for knowledge—knowledge not of the world of her bygone youth, but the world of today with its new problems, its new needs, its new solu- tions. The sun shone, too, upon the withering flower. Younger women of the convention - stopped beside her. A glance at the badge on the breast was an introduction at the convention, They asked her what she thought of the governor's address and listened with smiling attention while she said that it would reconcile her to the navy taxes at home if she knew the rise in them was due to measures for the l|()ublic health. - They timed their quick, vigorous steps to her slower ones on their way to the officers’ mess room that had been changed into a tea and lunch room for the conven- tion at the armory. A neighbor, watching her with soft eyes, as she took notes in her unsteady hand, of a lecture on “The Americanization of the Immigrant,” whispered: “Won't you rest your note book on this book? I shan't need it.” ‘A determined leoking young woman in a green silk dress, whisked her into a cab while the little woman hesitated, wistfully clutching her thin little purse, and said: “To the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I must have an intelligent per- son with me while I look at the pic- tures.” The convention was teaching these younger delegates not merely the sisterhood of woman, but the daugh- terhood of women. For the little woman in the black suit the heavens were opened—the heavens of a new intellectual domain. The old horizon had given way to a wider. She had done well her work. She had been a good wife, a good mother, a good housekeeper. And now that her life’s companion had preceded her beyond the sunset, that her children had married and moved away and were represented to her for the most part by letters, since she had sold the old house and was liv- ing in a cottage down the street, she had felt lonely and useless. But she would never again feel lonely and use- less. She would be companioned, though alone, by these women who in their home towns were carrying forward the work of making their homes, their neighborhoods, their towns, their state and their country better and finer. She was going home to tell the women of the club all the wonderful things she had heard. She was proud that she could remember the gist of all the lectures. The thin, old hand, with its withered back was firmer the day she looked back at the armory for the last time and started on the sea trip to Coney Island on the convention play day. Her hand must be strong and steady, for it bears a torch. - Household T'opics If You Want d Thing Done-- Do It Yourself By FORTUNE FREE./ If you want a thing done, do it yoursy:lf." 1t is good old advice, and I dare say it could not be bettered in its#some circumstances. But surprising re- lsults often attach to doing 'things oneself. A friend of mine who cannot much in the way of paying for an abundance of attention, asked me the other day if ] knew anything about darning socks. Now that is a thing I have never studied. 3 “Of course not,” he said sarcastic- ally. “Wonderful what a useless thing a man is generally! He's helpless—de- pendent upon other people! And how do they look after him? Here ou have been all these years wear- ing socks and couldn’t for your life stop a hole in one! Now these socks, which T only put on this morning, have a hole here”—we were walking down a street, and he stopped on one ‘eg, lifted up one foot and tapped the sole, to the astonishment of rassersby —*“as big as a silver dollar! Enough to give a fellow his death of cold.” 1 asked him how it was, if he could mend socks, he had not seen to it. He informed me that he had never mended socks before, but having bought some worstéd and needles, he meant to mend his own socks in fu- | ture, He set up thatnight in bed, smok- ing his pipe and mending that hole, and the next morning astonished his fellow clerks by turning up at the of- fice in one light blue sock and one dark brown. The explanation was that, having completed his task “somehow,” he had gone to sleep, and when he had turned out in the morn- ng—with only fifteen minutes in which to dress, shave and have his breakfast—had disccvered that, for some mystericus reason, his foot would not go into his sock. Could it have swelled in the night? No. It was the ordinary size. It dawned on him at last that in mending that sock he had sewn the bottom of the sole to the top. In his—well, agitation and rush—he put on the first sock he could find. He will do better next time. Doing a thing oneself—or tryinF it —is often a revelation. One may find the thing which seemed easy remark- ably “tricky” or impossible without a lot of practice, or, on the other hand, easier than one expected. I know a lady to whom the ne- cessity of having to do her own shop- ping has proved a revelation. She was certain she would never be able to do it herself. The person who at- tended to that department’ of her household occasionally gave her the most harrowing accounts of the al- most superhuman energy and daring she found necessary to foil shopkeep- ers bent on obtaining unscrupulous profits from her. Her saving to the establishment was tremendous—ac- cording to her own accounts—and the lady, who had “no head” for figures, hugged herself on her good fortune at having secured such a “treasure.” Blank despair seized on her when suddenly her income was greatly re- duced, and the treasure, being ‘called upon .to manage things on a smaller weekly amount, promptly declared it could not possibly be done. She seemed really quite insulted at the suggestion. X She left. The hoot of the taxi that bore her away had hardly died down in the street before my lady friend, taking her courage in her hands, de- termined to see to things herself. It was wonderfull Shopkeepers, she found, to her amazement, quite polite and considerate folk. They were noth- ing like the brigands she had imag- ined. One gyeat worry, however, af- fitcted her. How was it, having bought everything she wanted for the week, she still had $15 left over? What had she forgotten? “You don’t know how worried I got, Fortune,” she smiled at me. “What coulg it be that I had not thought of? Of course, I had a list of things on aper, but there must be something I ad forgotten. What was it?” “The treasure,” I remarked. That was the explanation. “The treasure,” used to impress upon my friend that she regarded her interests as her own. Certainly no one ever looked after her own interests more keenly. Yes, her employer's money was regarded as her own. fford " Virginia Baked Ham', By CONSTANCE CLARKE, Virginia Ham is one of the most delicious of dishes and may be served hot or cold. In choosing a.ham, as- + | certain that it is perfectly sweet by running a sharp knife into it, close to the bone, and if, when the knife is withdrawn, it has an agreeable smell the ham is good; if, on the contrary, the blade has a greasy appearance and offensive smell, the ham is bad. If it is very dry and salty, let it remain in soak for twenty-four hours, changin, the water frequently.” This length of time is only necessary in the case of its being very hard; from eight to twelve hours would be sufficient for a sweet ham. Wash it thoroughly clean and trim away from the under side all the smoked parts, which would spoil the appearance. Put it into a boiling- pot, with sufficient water to cover it, and with a bouquet of sweet herbs. Bring it gradually to the boil, and as TN the scum rises carefully' remqve it. Keep it simmering very gently until tender, and be careful that it does not stop boiling nor boil too quickly. When done take it out of the pot, strip off the skin with a sharp knife and place in a baking pan with two cups of cider and bake for an hour or more, accordint to the size, basting the ham when baking with the cider. Remove from the oven, brush over the surface of the ham with beaten cgg and sprinkle over it fresh bread crumbs mixed with brown sugar. Re- turn it to the oven until a crust is formed.
