A delicately perfumed bath of
roftened water Is a tonic that 1m

A Camphor bath Is the one to bo
mmended for the depreBsingly
nrm days of .un.mer. It Is made
Winn a mixture of an ounce of tinc
ture of camphor, hair as much tinc
ture of benzoin, and two ounces of
toilet vinegar. Such a bath as this
may be taken In the morning, at
night, or. If preferred, In the after

Old-Time .Recommendation.
"All of our ancestors," said a phy
v.xian. "were pock marked, and
fc'uallpox was a recommendation If
you were looking for work.
"What J mean is that you couldn't
f st a job if you had not had small
pox. No one wanted a servant who
was liable at any moment to be
Biricken down w'th the loathsome
disease." Hence; :
He opened a newspaper volume of
1774.
"Hence, 'help wanted' ads read
like this:
"Wanted a man between twenty
and thirty years of age, to be a foot
man and under butler in a great
family. He must have had ;he small
pox in the natural way. Also a wom
an, middle aged, to wait upon a
young lady of great fortune and
fashion. The woman must have had
the smallpox in the natural way.

To Sew Hooks on Dresses.
In sewing on hooks, whether used
In connection with eyes or peets, al
ways spread the hooks, all sizes, be
fore sewing on; It not only makes
the strain come on different parts of
the material, but it prevents them
from pushing forward and showing
at the edges of collars, plackets and
such things.
When sewing them on a boned lin
ing the bone can be slipped between
the front curves and the back of the
hook, after they have all been sewn
on, making it very taut, thus saving
the labor of fastening the bone in
the usual way. It must, of course,
be fastened at either end after It la
Inserted, otherwise It will come en
tirely oft during the process of hook
ing the dress.
For a Double Chin.
The tandem chin Is one of the
most determined tell-taleg of ap
proaching age. ' To rid yourself of
this chin with social tendencies one
inould massage the threat each
night. The method prescribed Is to
gin at the point of the chin and
i-ub hard toward each ear. The fin
ger tips should be together at the
beginning of the motion and should
U.en push away from each other.
Kepeat the motion under the jaws
atid remember to always rub upward.
Either colu cream or an astringent
lotion should be used. Be sure that
during the massage the head be
held well up.
To Induce Sleep.
If you cannot sleep well, try eat
ing an onion sandwich early In the
evening. Slice the onion thin, sprin

slices of thin bread and butter.

Nerd of Warrie.ift to Check Extinction
of Nation's Scavengers.
For want of wardens along the
hundred miles of Pacific Coast, re
cently reserved as a bird refuge, a
circular of the National Association
of Audubon Societies says millions
of wate- fowl may suffer death :o
themselves and their young at the
nesting season. With thousands of
acres of such breeding, havens which
they have previously obtained and
must patrol wltn hardy and expert
men, the National Association of Ai
dubon Societies finds itself today in
able to extend Its bird guard ovr
the newly acquired stretch of Inac
cessible sea coaHt. Unless funds nrj
forthcoming for this economic move,
ment, officers of the Association sav,
American bird life will again suiter
such ravages as are admittedly bring
ing its valuable sea-bird species close
to the point of extinction. The cir
cular continues::
Both men and boats of the staunch
es t sort are required for the peril
ous work of patrolling the rnwfs and
rocks of the nesting birds In all winds
and weather. Some seven thousand
dollars were devoted by the Audu
bon workers last year to providing
this protection against poachers ;'or
the defenceless birds on their breed
ing grounds. To extend this service
to the new refuges, which the gov
ernment has Just ended, several
thousands of dollars more will im
required. Beyond paving the war
dens a dollar a month for the pur
pose of their nominal control, the
Federal authorities have left the -n-tire
burden of maintaining this little
army of bird guards upon the Nation
al Association of Audubon Societies.
As scavengers the sea birds are
the only agents tiat stand between
the people of this country and pesti
lence, they declare. Once they
become so few as to allow the coast
refu-e to accumulate, the entire
country will stand in grave danger
of being swept by plague.
Only the annual five-dollar bills of
less than a thousand members of the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties today support the extensive
work of this body, of which the eco
nomic movement to preserve the na
tions sea fowl Is only a small part.
With these and the limited endow
ment a', their command, the workers
of th association are today unable
to carry out adequately the work rf
preservelng the Bta. fowl, which has
become national In scope. Unless
several thousand persons, represent
ing every section of the country, en
roll with these Audubon workers,
this yetiv. much In the economic cam
paigns which demand their support,
must be left undone.
"The nation's sea fowl must tie
preserved now or never," said Wil
liam Dutcher, president of the asso
ciation, at Its headquarters, No. 141
Broadway, New York.
"To carry out this great
economic work in time, we must have
the moral as well as financial support
of at least 5,000 members. I feel
sure we are going o find as many and
more thinking persons in this coun
try 'vho will consider It a patriotic
privilege to enroll In a movement so
essential to the health, wealth, and
general well being of the entire coun
try, mt'rely aside from sentimental
aad aesthetic motives."
Diamonds in America.
Cent -ury to the general Impression
diamonds are sold cheaper In the
United States than In any other coun
try. This is due to America taking
two-thirds of the output of ull
mines, the remaining one-third De
lng taken by all the otber countries
ci '.ilned.
Being the largest buyers, American
dealers not only buy at the lowest
price, but secure the very choicest
stones. This is admitted by Euro
pean dealers.
There Is no duty on rough or un
cut stones :omlng Into the United
States. The American cutter's work
is superior to foreign cutting, as is
shown by the fact that nearly every
diamond weighing over .one-quarter
of a carat sold In America, Is cut in
America.
On the small cut diamonds, the
duty is only ten per cent, against five
per cent. In Canada. The purchases
of Canada are so small that the lower
duty Is more than offset by the In
creased cost to Canadian dealers.
The American merchant has a mar.
ket of 80,00,000 people against Cana
da's 6,000.000.
The Americans have every advan
tage to enhance the Intrinsic worth
of diamonds by the superior work
manship of their cutters and under
sell all other countries. Buffalo Ex

Fisticuffs and Discipline.
It Is claimed that only by fighting
on the part of the crew can discipline
On shipboard be maintained In the
navy. But if that law were to apply
to families and schools, where Impul
sive young men abound, every com
munity In the land would have to
maintain mammoth rings for the set
tlement of disputes arising every
hour of the day.
Unless human nature Is changed
radically by being transplanted to a
warsbir's deck the penalty system
should work there as well as in civil
life. It the aggressor In a dispute
were required to make an apology or
pay a fine or go Into Irona or to leave
the service with a dishonorable dis
charge in case be demurred at the
milder punishment, there would no
doubt oe less Inclination among sea
men to wrangle and come to blow, .
