Can you tell me of something harmless which, when taken be fore retiring at night, will keep the breath sweet and clear till morning? —A Bother. A.— Powdering the face upon retiring does absolutely no good, and tends to clog the pores. The best treatment Is to wash the face without too vigorous rubbing with hot castile soap suds, and then rinse in a very cold, clear water. On one night retire with nothing additional to this treatment. . The next night repeat the treatment, and ln addition anoint the face with a pure cold cream. Repeat these two plans alternately. The best thing for the breath ls to keep,the stomach and 'bowels reg ular. Do not eat too heavily a short time before retiring. Clean the teeth and tongue and nose upon retiring and arising. Dear Miss Grey: What causes blushes, and what will cure them? —Tillle. A.—Blushing Is a symptom of self consciousness, and the only cure Is utter forgetfulness of self. The girl who blushes ought to be proud of it, not ashamed. Dear Miss Grey: Will you please give me a recelpe for, getting rid of bedbugs without staining the mattress? —V. S.

Times World Tourists Visit Italy KING VICTOR EMMANUEL, QUEEN HELENA AND THBIR YOUNGSTERS. ROME, Italy, April 4.—ltaly Is a land of marvels—mostly old marvels that everybody has seen or' read about. The Coliseum, the Pantheon, the ruins of Pompeii, St. Peter's— and many other •things like them are marvels that; everybody knows about. But Italy can also boast a new marvel that few folk know much about, name up, a royal household thoroughly democratic and absolutely free from taint of scandal. That's probably more than can be said of any other of the great royal households of the world. So let's talk about the family of King Victor Emmanuel and let the threadbare Italian marvels pass. In the first place the royal fam ily of Italy can boast a real royal j love affair. Not a bogus, made-to order love affair, like that of the: THE TACOMA TIMES • — 9 j Now Is the Time to Guard Against INFANTILE PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC I The Deadly Enemy of Our Children •- ; • Every possible effort Is being made by the medical profusion ; of the world to stamp out the dreaded disease known as infantile j paralysis. While an isolated case is heard from now and then in the spring and autumn, and occasionally ln the winter, infant".: paralysis as an epidemic is a summer disease, being prevalent in July, August and September. The Rockefeller Institute Is now bend ing every energy with that end in view.— Editor. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN Keep your children away from suspected cases. Keep the mouth and nasal passages clean, for it is through these organs the germ enters and attacks the spinal marrow and j the brain, causing either a temporary or a permanent paralysis of , the muscles. If the latter is true, if the child's life is saved, it will be a helpless, hopeless cripple for life. The germ Is so small that it cannot be seen even through the most powerful microscope, but after years of research it was finally determined about a year ago that there is such a germ. Like typhoid or scarlet fever, the germ can be carried by per fectly healthy persons, who themselves will not contract the disease, "but who may transfer the germ to others. Disinfect or destroy the secretions of the nose and mouth of the patients, for the disease Is thrown off .Inst as it is contracted, from the brain through the nose and mouth. While chiefly a disease of the children, infantile paralysis some times attacks adults. The beginning of epidemics which made many American homes desolate has been, traced to schools, but even Fourth of July celebrations and country fairs have been known to originate them. While Infantile paralysis epidemics are new to this country, the disease has been known for half a century. For years these epi demics were limited to Norway and Sweden, but three years ago one started in New York, and has since extended over the entire North American continent. At present there is no cure, no remedy, for this awful children's scourge, but preventive measures, intelligently employed, will di minish the number of cases. HARRY AND THE WIND When Harry's father came home to dinner the other day, he found the little fellow on tho front steps with his head buried in his arms. "What's the matter, old chap?" he called out cheerily. "Somebody been playing a mean trick on you?" "Yes," sobbed Harry. "Well, I wouldn't Bit down and cry about it," said father. "Stand up for your rights. Didn't I show you that new stroke in wrest ling?" "I can't wrestle with this fel low," answered Harry. "Why not?' asked father. "Is he too big?" "Because — because it's the wind." "Whew! the wind," laughed Riccd Potatoes. 8011, mash and season six large potatoes, have a hot dish ready and put them through the ricer.

It !was love at first sight and the I prince married the princess within a year, in spite of the opposition, of [those who would have had the j prince make an alliance with some more powerful house than that of the little comic'opera kingdom of Montenegro. The love affair has been going on ever since. King Victor and Queen Helena are devoted to each .'other and to their four beautiful children; Furthermore these royal folk (are really democratic in their Itastes.

"Well, well, cheer up," said father. "I know how we can get the best of that old wind. Come with me." Harry dried his tears and went out to the workshop with father; and before they went In to dinner, they had made just the nicest kite you ever saw. Harry played with his kite till dark, and the wind blew such a nice fresh breeze for him that he entirely forgave It for the trick it! had played on him in the morning. to some secluded place, If possible, where they are not known at all, there to live for a while in the simplest fashion. .And it goes without saying that this king and queen are tender hearted folk.

So in this, our last glimpse at the old world, let's take a good long look at this delightful family group, the exception that goes to prove the rule ln royal families. It's pleasant to go away with the thought that there is at least one royal family in Europe that is worthy of respect from our Ameri can standpoint. Rio De Janeiro next.

To clean leather use good sweet cream, dip a piece of cheese cloth Into the cream and rub the leather well with it. It cleanses the leather and the fat of the cream is an ex cellent food for it.

Foulards, surah, plain and strip etamine and voile are tho favored dress materials. While a good many willow plumes are sold, yet their vogue among the best dressers Is much on the wane.

This article is about the front yard, tho sldeyards and the back yard of which we have already talked. The appropriate use of shrubs and vines gives a charm and beauty to the yard very pleasing to the passerby and to yourself. Plants are the means of' expressing restfulness and beauty. A perfect lawn is one of the rarest possessions of either public or private establishments. The chief charm of a lawn consists in even stand of grass of uniform color kept closely mown. Ken tucky bluegrass does well in heavy soil, but In lighter, sandy soils it must be supplemented j with white clover. Frequent clippings of the lawn (not too closely) stimulate the growth. During dry seasons sprinkle lawn at night, but give It enough water to wet the soil. A little water Is an injury. Unsightly fences, stables and outhouses can be hidden by shrubs and Vines, Some shrubs retain their foliage well on Into the win ter, white others, such as the Cali fornia privet and many of the barber-les, retain it all winter. Some of the magnolias retain their large, glossy leaves until the ap proach of spring, when they turn brown and fall, to be replaced a few weeks later by a new set. Others, which require wire or wood supports, are the clematis with all its varied forms, the wis taria, the trumpet flower. For sandy regions the Japanese honey suckle is excellent. Annual vines also serve a use ful purpose. While they have to be replanted each year, they ar rive at maturity much quicker than the permanent ones, which during the first two or three years produce little shade or cov ering. In rich, well-drained soil, the moonflower, the cypress vine, the hyacinth bean, tall nastur tiums, and gourds for low screens and lattices are One; and the wild cucumber for taller struc tures. •' Maybe you'd like to try a vine scheme that a practical woman reader of the Times told us about.
