V * O's: living and working conditions should be such as not to require @ vacation except as a matter of Wecreation or pleasure. But in these Gays of high tension in business and fmdustry, fatigue accumulates, espe- “pially in summer. ‘The hurry, the noise, long hours, the monotony of office or shop rou- Une, the nervous strain of competition fall professions and businesses, and when the day’s work is done, the mad rush for the pleasures of night Wife—all of these leave ovr 40,000,006) @inployed men and women in a stale “ef fatigue which falls little short of the breaking point. Add to this the heat of the summer, ‘then the tired muscles and nerves cry @ut for relief. The vacation is a Yemedy, but not a cure. Eventually there will come a time when the human machine cannot stand the pace “atty longer. The strain of the day's ‘work and the joyless puisult of joy at night account in a large measure for ‘the breaking down which comes to Man too early in middle life, In the wiriter the fatigue is not so great because there is not the extra strain of heat. Studies made by offl- ers of the Public Health Service and others in working conditions of hot hamid mines demonstrate the effect on human energy of excessive heat and ,humidity. While our lives above Bround do not approximate the ex- Gessive conditions observed in the mines, still when there is added to our Professional, commercial, industrial and social life, the summer heat, the only practical remedy which public health students have found is a vaca- tion—a vacation which will be a ;gbange of environment and permit at Jeast a temporary restoration of mus- ele and brain cells to normal, one which permits the elimination of the waste products accumulated in the ‘body as the result of prolonged or ex- fessive activity of these cells. The Public Health Service is mak- ing studies of working conditions and the causes of fatigue, and health offi- elals of the country are everywhere Beeking to eliminate these causes. Large business establishments are employing hundreds of industrial Physicians and engineers to search out and remove all conditions which may add to the fatigue and which fre not essential to the business. Neuro-psychiatrists are investigat- ing the causes of nervous and mental breakdown in the large number of patients coming to them — wrecks from our modern business life: Until a better remedy or preventa- tive comes out of the numerous studies being made by public health workers, the Public Health Service advises a vacation, The character of the vaca- tion is an individual question depend- ing on many conditions, such as the eharacter of one’s work, finances, in- dividual preferences ,and ideas of pleasures, To be of benefit it should, however, Involve considerable change from the ordinary life of the indi- Nidual. | There is no question but that much of the vacation should be Copyright, 1 HE general rule for all marma- lades is one pound of sugar to each pound of fruit. This is re @uired to preserve marmalade in open Jars, but when tightly sealed, three- fourths pound of sugar to each pound of fruit ts ample. If the fruit is sweet even one-half potind of sugar to every pound of prepared fruit is sufficient. Cook fruit and sugar together until thick and stir frequently to prevent burning; also skim once or twice. Pour while hot into jelly glasses or jars and seal. STRAWBERRY AND PINEAPPLE —Use one pineapple to two quarts of berries. Put pineapple through the grinder and cook it a few minutes be- fore adding the berries and sugar. RHUBARB AND STRAWBERRY— ‘Take equal quantities of rhubarb and strawberries.

For those who have been engaged in severe physical labor an opportunity to it the muscles should be pro- ine just sufficient to circulation and fa- vor the getting rid of waste prod- ucts being required. For others who have the summer vacation may well more active, Swimming, golf, walking tours are all capital forms of exercise to take, yet great caution should be exercised in suddenly changing from a seden- tary life to one of strenuous activity. Much damage has been done to seden- tary their vacations strenuous physical foats for which they were wholly un- prepared, The type of vacation one proposes to Nave, theréfore, should be borne in mind and preparations made for its thorough enjoyment by altering so far persons by undertaking during © the utmost cleanliness ts used in the preparation an1 serving of food In selecting a place to go, authori- tative information should be secured as to the sanitary condition of the resort, During the vacation one should be careful to observe all of the rules of personal hygiene in his daily life. For those who intend to go camping or “tin-canning” during the summer, a wise precaution before leaving would be to be vaccinated against typhoid fever. “The Strain of the Day's Work as practicable the mode of living somewhat in advance so that when the vacation is actually begun the transi- tion of the mode of living will not be too violent. In addition to physical recreation our vacation should provide 4 proper share of mental stimulants, Besides remaking our body let us try te renovate our minds so that when the vacation is over we will return to work with not only resilient muscles and energetic bearing, but Ukewise with resilient and energetic minds. ‘ But summertime is not always va- cation time and, unfortunately, not all of us can take vacations. Yet if we are to keep well the “good old sum- mertime’’ must be taken into account. The first thing a wise man will do in hot weather is to keep as cool as he This is done by adjusting the diét, the clothing, cooling the body by frequent bathing and by arranging the sleeping rooms so as to be as cool as possible under the circum- stances. Besides this, the body must be provided with plenty of fluids so as to allow free per- spiration which, by evaporation, favors heat loss. In view of the high prevalence of intestinal {nfections in the summer, care mast be taken to keep food free from contamiuation and to have a pure water supply. Keep flies and other tesects carefully screened away, Use nothiny but -pasteurized milk from reliable dealers.

When thick add one cup finely chopped nut meats and let it come to a boil. GOOSEBERRIES AND RHUBARB Use one-fourth as much rhubarb, cut into small pieces as berries. Add only enough water to cover bottom of kettle. As the mixture heats mash it with a spoon, then add ‘the sugar and boil it. Twenty minutes boiling after the sugar is added should be sufficient.

He has been very kind to me until about two months ago, when he ms to have changed to another per- son. When we are at home to- gether he is extremely gentle and k'nd but when we are in the of- fice he acts as though he really hated me. One time he told me he was jealous of the work I de, claiming he was not as ambitious or as clever as | am. Now, Miss Vincent, | do not think I am per- fect, but one of the reasons | work so hard is because the other girls and young men in the of- fice fool when the boss's back is turned, while | have their work to finish up, But it is réally not my fault, and | wish you could help me to keep this young man's love. F. F. FY I believe the average young man rather admires the business girl and her ambitious spirit, but there ara still a few old fashioned boys who believe a woman's place is the home, You will have to analyze yourself and decide which life you prefer, a do- mestic one or a business one. If you find you care more for a business career, it would probably be better for you to give this young iaan up, Vincent: | am a y-one and go about with a fellow two years my senior, About a week ago | had an appointment with him but his boy friend called up and was ill and unable to keep Now Miss Vincent | don’t believe he was ill and since Sunday | ave not heard from him.

By Mrs. Christine Frederick. Household Pfficiency Expert, “Household Engineerin: Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. HERE are a number of things 4p every housekeeper can know and do to assist fire protection and the safety of her family. Every mother should teach her children what to do if they are menaced by a slight blaze. One ccm- mon form of danger is often found in the “Indian guits’’ and other play togs where the tassels and fringes and mock feathers so easily become ignited if the children are playing around a make-believe camp fire. Unfortunately the most natural impulse of a child or person whose clothing has caught fire, is to run, even wildly. But the right thing is to lie down and wrap a rug or blanket about the dress or body to exclude the air. Another mistaken idea is to throw water on a flame such as the flaring up of an oll stove, or a leak in a gas pipe or tank such as is frequently used with ironing machines or summer stoves, Water is very bad here and the right precaution is to have a bag of sind always nearby with which the fire can be smothered or beaten out instantly. The entire theory of fighting fire on a small scale, such as so often occurs in the home, is to avold draughts, wind, or increase of oxygen to the flame. Therefore what- ever most quickly cuts off the air kills the fire. For instance, I have often put out @ serious small fire on an ofl stove or in a waste basket by at once throwing sand on the burner or into the basket. There is no excuse for using any except safety matches In the home. These cannot strike unless rubbed on the specially prepared surface of the box, whereas the usual kind will ignite if stepped on or frictioned any- where. Also the large common box of matches presents too great a temptation to small children to play with them. Many householders fall to see the relation between small fires and their own careless handling of waste, paper, shavings or olly rags, Numerous fires have their origin in the waste rags used to clean an auto and left carelessly lying about. Piles of news- , Papers and old clothing or waste should never be left around oellar or back yard or garage, because it needs only a casual match or a@ very hot day or the butt of a smoldering cigar to start a serious loss. Ali such waste should be removed far from any house or building. Another danger is when the house- keeper cleans articles or clothing with gasoline or benzine. Never by any chance should this work be done in the house or anywhere near it. It can only be countenanced if done in the middle of the outdoors, so to speak, and if the person changes her dress before entering the house’ or at least is sure not to pass in a room where there is a lighted fire, even a lighted gas burner. 7 In the detached suburban house or country shack out of the quick range of a fire patrol or protection, very definite provision must be made for fire extinguishers. Small hand ex- tinguishers should be placed in the most available locations, such as near the stove, in a back entry, at the head of the cellar stairs, in the halls, in the laundry or cellar itself and the bed- rooms. A small extinguisher at many vital points is a better plan than only one or two large outfits, which can often be moved only with difficulty Filled pails of water on an emergency shelf are also helpful. It might not be a bad idea for the home manager to give serious con- sideration to the subject of fire risk, and write down the following rules for the best procedure by her family, if such danger is incurred: 1. Avoid placing waste pa trash, oily rage in cellar or ni any building. 2. Throw sand or earth en an oil fire, ne water, 3. If clothing becomes ablaze, do not run—lie down instantly and grab heavy rug and wrap around clothing to smother air. 4. Always use fety matohi 5. Never throw match end, cig- ar or cigarette butt into waste basket: 6. Never open doors and win dows in room with fire, but close them, run from reom and shut fire in. 7. Be cautious in the use of all inflammable liquids such as gaso- hi benzine and kerosene, 8. If caught in room with smoke, remember that the best air is near the floor, and that one oan creep out safely when it would not be possible to stand up in the same room. 9. Instruct all members of fam- ily and servants, as to the fire call by phone, or the location of the nearest fire signals and how te use them, al TUESDAY, JUNE 27, 1922. BY Now Quick! Spl ICH IS THE THIS MAN WANTS A JOB TEST HIS MENTALITY THE LINE PRocexs Habits That Mar Beauty By Doris Doscher. Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. FROWNING. OES the face that the mirror re- flects annoy you? Do you find lines and wrinkles daily increas- ing? Do not for one mstant think that it is a ques- tion of years. I have seen faces of gome very young girls that are wrinkled, and I have gazed into the faces of those whose allotted time has been passed and I find that they have not as many wrinkles as some girls. Some wrinkles are very pleasant to look at. The lit- tle smiling lines that dimple the cheeks are rather attractive, but the deep furrows that line the forehead and incase the eyes in a network of nes are far from beautiful. No amount of powder can completely ob- lterate them. Massaging ts to be sure a great aid, but even this is only a temporary cure. For if frowning has become a habit with you, you will soon undo all of the good work you have accomplished by massaging. Peo- ple very seldom consider frowning as a habit, but I assure you it is and a very bad habit at that, and only the freatest amount of perseverance and determination will overcome it. Oh! how often I have wished thut I could hold a mirror up to the faces of some of the beautiful young girls I have seen when they are traveling or even walking on the streets, The slightest jostling of the crowd or the heat of the crowded conveyances causes them to pucker the face up with wrinkles and maintain it in that way until they reach home. Of course, they are unconscious of it and would be very much surprised if they could look in the mirror at that par- ticular moment. Little do they real- {ze how much lasting harm is done to their face by this habit Now that the warm weather is with us in earnest I am very anxious that you should conquer this frowning habit. You know very well we are going to have real hot days. But don't you think you will feel just a bit cooler If you learn to keep your- self dainty and fresh and calm within? I know you will if you will only set about it with right good will The next time something annoys you just pretend you are ironing out your face and learn to control the muscles of It and see the difference it will make in your appearance The wrinkles that come from squinting the eyes, of course, can be avolded by protecting the eyes, But the wrinkles that come from habitual frowning can only be erased by a change of heart, so to speak. Now as you stop to think about it, don't you find that you are guilty of this habit of puckering up the brow at the slightest provocation? Don't you really think that it is well worth ex- erting a little self-control to avoid the wrinkles in the face rather than spending hours in trying to massage them out afterward? SN HE first ‘beauty doctor" to gain me wide celebrity was one Balsamo, son of a poor shopkeeper in Palermo, but best known by his as- sumed title of Count Alessandro di Cagliostro. He was born 179 years ago ‘nd was educated in a monastery. As 4 young man he went to Rome, where he met and married a beautiful girl. “lo pair then travelled over Europe, the names of Count and Countess Caglostro, going about in a magnificent coach-and-four and se- curing access to the highest society of the countries they visited. They made a fortune by selling « ‘wine of under The First “‘ Beauty Doctors” Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Pi Publishing Co. Egypt,”’ disposed of in drops as being more precious than nectar, the use of which was alleged to restore vigor and youth and beauty to wornout and wrinkled men and women. The Countess Seraphina adduced herself as & living evidence of the efficacy of the elixir, averring that she was past sixty and had a son who was a veteran soldier, The Count claimed to be an octogenarian, For years they carried on a highly profitable trade in Egyptian drops, beauty waters, wrinkle eradicators and love philtres, but at length, after long enjoying the favor of cardinals and bishops, kings and nobles, Cagliostro was thrown into prisom and his wi ofined ina convent, wheretm the J CaOULON'T 3S SEE, HE NADE: NE TAKE OFF Weds 4 AND WITHOUT THE!

They have the most wonderful place on the water, with tennis courts, bowling alleys, conservatories, private golf links, and everything, and they will have the house full of the finest, jolliest sort of people for every week- cL yt it nice of the Stryvers to ks that play bridge?'’ asked Jarr calmly, for, seemingly, he excited at the godd Mr was not at all news “Why, certainly!’ replieh Mrs. Jarer. “You know how fond the Stryvers are of bridge, and they never, invite anybody that doesn't play.” Mrs. Stryver plays a good game, and so does Mr. Stryver.”’ “A good game?’ Mr. Jarr repeated “The Stryvers are sharks at it, and he's nome golf player, too, and al- ways wants to bet a dollar a hole, and, for a man of his weight, he's no slouch at tennis.’’ “Twas not discussing those things. said Mrs. Jarr, ‘‘Y was simply spea', ing of week-ending at a beautifur country estate; I was not speaking of sporting and gambling—which is all you seem to think of,"' “Week-ending comes under the head of sporting and gambling, 1 should say,"" Mr, Jarr retorted “Week-ending is the most persistent ly followed of out and indoor sports the whole year around, Occasionally it Is a pleasant pastime, yet always it is the most expensive variation of the social game; and it persists as a shining example of the irrefutability of the time-honored axiom, ‘The costliest things are those we get for nothing’!"" “You talk like an auctioneer, or a political orator,’ sald Mrs. Jarr testily. ‘T can't say the simp est thing to you but you start to ha- rangue me with big words, like your friend Dinkston uses. I am trying to tell you we can week-eud at the won- derful country place .! the Stryvers as often as We like, and it won't cost anything We are not going to a hotel, we will be nonr-payins muests on the estate of wealthy people.”’ “LT am not orating, and I am not talking like an auctioneer,” said Mr Jarr. “Tl am talking sensthty.
