Harmless Night Air.
It is in a biUletln of the United
States Public Health Service that the
old-as-the-hills superstition about
the bane of night air Is laid low.
And this fear for the air of the
nighttime is, no doubt, a relic of the
ancient fear of darkness, the "survi
vals of the theories of a primeval
cult of sun worshipers, who feared
everything that did not come within
the "sphere of the solar influence."
Tel you probably are still one of
these sun worshipers. You probably
hae a lurking feeling that there Is

GETTING A START.
DO IT NOW.
Br 1TATHAML C. FOWLER, Jit.
Yesterday Is past. Today Is here.
Tomorrow may never arrive.
Ton have been responsible for the
past: you are responsible for.the pres
ent; and the future is dependent, not
Altogether upon itself, but largely
rpon what you do today.
Great men in every department of
activity do the work of today today.
They do not put off till tomorrow
what belongs to today, nor do they
overwork today that they may rest
tomorrow. They apportion their work
and their play in a sane and sensible
manner.
If jou hae a disagreeable task to
perform, one which is likely to require
all of your energy, complete it today.
If you can If you do not, you will
think abou' it today and labor over
"r?AJTnorrev-rsYo u will make two das"
work of one. Tilings undone, which
ought to be done, arc done twice.
Any attempt to postpone that which
should be attended to now means hard
er work tomorrow and more work the
day after tomorrow.
Doing it now stands for economy
arfd for peace of mind, for real rest
and happiness.
If there Is any one thing above all
others which predisposes your employ
er ,n jour faior. It is the finishing of
our duties on time, or aheaa of time.
Some one once asked a great man
to what he attributed his success. In
n'antly he replied. "To doing what I

the earliest convenient moment."

j One joung woman, who made up her
mind that there was good money to be

iat a certain summer resort, went about
it m the right way to learn the busl-
ncss.
For a fw months of the winter pre
eeeellng the opening of her lunch room
she went to one of the hig cities and actually-
went to work as a waitress In a
fashionable tea room. In this capacity
i she learned the problems of pleasing pa
trons, the problems of the waitress her
self. She learned how the tables should
' ho set. and gained countless invaluable
i room business irom another angle.
' A" tl,e t'm; 'as working in this
tea room she kept her eyes open to what
was going on about her and was always
eager to help In every waj- she could.

problems of ordering and buj-ing. account

I mer's income amount to a net of a thou

Of course, every woman who wants to
go Into the tea room business doesn't
have to don a waitress cap and apron
and actuallj- go to work as this pluckj'
j-oung girl did. but she docs almost of
necessitj- have to get a good, thorough
Knowieage or tne everj-aay prooieins oi
the business, and there is no better way
than actually going to work to do this.
Besides the knowledge of the busi
ness, there is a great deal in having
the right idea, for often it Is the idea
that makes the nroflts. Tn the larffe
cities and in the fashionable summer
forever on the lookout for interesting
places, and the young woman who
can create and maintain an interest
ing atmosphere about her lunch and
tea room is sure of attracting a crowd
willing to paj- well for what they eat.
Odd dishes, in keeping with the place.
and served in special manner, also
serve as drawing cards, and sometimes
a particular sort of for, inexpensive
ly but artistically got up. will add an
other means o(r profit making.
"The most important thing to do,"
so a woman who has made a study of
the lunch and tea room question says,
"is to decide on your location. It you
do not open your tea room In a verj-
busy neighborhood where you have to
pay large rent to make sure of a aup-plj-
of patrons, jou have to be the
first arrival in a more restricted neigh
borhood." There are all sorts of opportunities
for lunch and tea rooms and every
clever j-oung woman can easily think
of many such opportunities herself.
Tea rooms carried on in college towns,
not too expensive but filled with little
individual touches that make them
a relief to the student from the ordi-narj-
dormitory board, usually prove
successful. Tea rooms at summer re
sorts are more and more coming into
favor. Lunch and tea rooms In busy
work-a-day districts in the large cities
have a big opportunitj- at this very
time that is not fully realized. In
many of the business sections of our
large cities there is room for some
place where the better paid business
women of the neighborhood can get a
simple, well served luncheon in a
quiet spot, and thus be spared the
noise and confusion of the large quid:
lunch resorts and the expense and
glitter of the standard hotels and
restaurants.
Another interesting depsrturo for the
joung woman who knows how to run
a lunch room is In opening an American
lunch room abroad. There are a very
few of these in Europe, hut there is room
for many more, as American tourists
with a taste for American "eats" will
tcstifv.
Re sides the undoubted fact that lunch

Wednesday, April 14, 1915.
This Is an uncertain day. Astrology
finds that Saturn rules strongly good,
while Neptune Is adverse.
The planet that Is believed to have
sway over the riches burled In the
earth gives promise of euccesi for ag
riculturists. Crop- that will bring for
tunes are promised in some of the
States, but unusual dangers from pests
and disastrous storms are foretold.
This should be a favorable day for
miners, potters and masons.
There is an omen of great good for
tune for dealers In learner, shoemakers
will gain wealth, if they make the
most of their opportunities, it Is said.
The benefic aspect of Saturn is for

The Influences today are encourag

trust and responsibility. While success
may be slow it will be lasting, ac
cording to the Interpretation of the

Old persons should benefit under
this configuration. There will be re
newed activity in business and world
affairs by the aged who will resume
many responsibilities, owing to the ef
fects of the war.
The new Mooii of this data occurs
in the tenth house in sextile to Sa
turn in the eleventh. This Is said to
indicate better conditions for Great
Britain. There is an especially good
omen for the navy.

serious dissensions in England, how
ever, for the war policy will cause
trouble among statesmen and military
leaders.

It is an auspicious day for hiring

read as warning against a tendency
toward treachery and deceit this year,
owing to extreme conditions in the
Industrial world.
Persons whose blrthdate it Is should
be wary In dealing with acquaintances

MONOTONOUS BREAKFASTS.
Are tho breakfasts served In j-our house
monotonous?
Those served In most houses are mo
notonous, far morfc monotonous than the
luncheons or the dinners. And perhaps
the very nature of accepted breakfasts
makes them monotonous. For the con
entlonaI list of foods allowable at break
fast Is small nnd the list likeel by most
people at the first meal of the day Is
smaller.
Krult. cereal, bread, beverage and a
cooked dish these heads Include everj--thlng.
Coffee, tea or milk come under
beverage, chops, creamed chipped beef
or fijh cakes come under the cooked
elish. Jam and marmalade come under the
fruit, and pancakes come under bread.
Yet eCen with a very limited list of
foods served at breakfasts there Is no
reason, save laziness on the part of the
cook or housekeeper, for serving mo
notonous breakfasts. For the few foods
can be perfectly cooked, daintily served
and temptingly combined.
Here are some spring-breakfast menus
made up of a very limited number of
foods, j-et all tempting:
Shredded wheat biscuit, strawberries
and cream, broiled bacon, corn bread,
coffee (or tea or milk or whatever bev
erage Is preferred).
Sliced oranges, chilled on ice, hominy
and cream, buttered, crisp toast, coddled
eggs, coffee.
Cream of wheat and prunes served
together, parsley omelet, brown bread
and butter, coffee. 4
Oatmeal and cream, hash. Jam, toast,
coffee.
Stewed apples, farina and cream, bacon
muffins, honey, coffee.
Oranges, hominj' and cream, scrambled
eggs with minced ham, bakers' rolls,
coffee.
Always cook bacon so that It Is crisp
and tender. It must not be dry enough
to fly all to pieces the minute the fork
touches It Neither must tt be a bit
soggy. Have the toast rather thin and
toast It golden brown on each side,
so that It Is a Utile crisp. It must be
hot, and It must be buttered JusV before
It is eaten. It can bo buttered by each
individual or In the kitchen, but the but
ter must never be put on it long enough
beforehand tb dry Into the toast. Prepare

April 14 Rote Cogklan.
One of the most popular actresses
of the last ccnturj-. Rose Coghlan was
born In Petersburgh, England, sixty-
five years ago today. Rose did not
come from a dramatic family, and it
was onlj- because her brother, who
started out in life as a barrister, be
came an actor that Rose ever discov
ered her wonderful talents. However,
encouraged by this brother of hers,
she took tip dramatic work as a mere
child, and when she was in hcr early
'teens she was acting as one of the
witches In "Macbeth." At 15 she was
making a great hit In soubrette parts,
and quite by an accident she was
called upon to take the part of the
leading ladj-. From that time on her
success was assured. At 21 she was
acting In the United States as leading
lady for the elder Sothern. She played
with great success as Viola In
"Twelfth Night." but hcr greatest
parts were those of Lady Teazle.
I.ady Gay Spanker, and as Peg Woff
Ington. Rose Coghlan never altogether over
came the mistakes of her early train
ing, and even at her best there were
apparent irregularities in her art and
a carelessness In her best acting.
However, she was one of the most
popular and successful of actresses of
her day, and this, perhaps, because of
the luxuriousness of her beautj. her
Btrong personalltj-, and her true wom
anhood. Rose Coghlan had a voice of
rnre beauty, that needed no cultiva
tion, and an infectious- laugh that
alone would have assured her success
on tho stage. Her face was one of
those rare combinations of beauty and
expressiveness, and was capable of
showing the greatest play of emo
tions. Miss Coughlan was married
when she was 35 to. a Boston lawyer.

through the room. Is not sufficient. Of
course, it is better than no open window,
but we must bear in mind that cold air
does not of necessity mean fresh air. If
there Is but one window in the room it
should be open top and bottom.
There is a double benefit resulting from
air In motion; the pure air comes In and
the polluted air Is carried away. Moving
air increases bodily evaporatoln and
therefore cools the surface of the skin.
Tills Is why we Install electric fans in
summer.
No matter what the temperature of the
room, the air should be moving. If the
air Is still, even out of doors, we become
soon surrounded by a covering of moist
warm air. Rebreathlng this will cause
headache and vertigo.
We are all familiar with the unpleas

the conditions or still air. If the air is
moving, even if the crowd bo equally
denso and the temperature the same, the
sensation Is not so unpleasant or so
prone to cause vertigo or collapse.

Appetite (or Breakfast.
Mrs. C, H. D. writes: "What break
fast can you suggest to tempt a girl of
14 to eat? The girl Is healthy, but looks
pale and I am afraid will get run down
if she does not eat better."
See that she gets up sufficiently early
to take a cold bath, either a plunge or
rub, depending on her reaction, and that
she exerelse with her window open be
fore breakfast. She should drink a glass
of cold water on rising. If she does this
for a week you will see an Improved
appetite. The chances are that the loss
of appetite Is not duo to the breakfast,
but that she bring a half-awake body and
listless mind to the table. Fruit, stewed
or fresh, cereals, eggs, bacon, browned
or creamed potatoes, muffins and toast
are all good breakfast dishes. Teach
her to realize that good cheer Is nature's
stimulant and that It Is her duty to you
and to other members of her family.
Cold and Fever.
M. G. R. writes: "My children have
frequent colds and mj mother-in-law
insists that they eat heartily at such
times. Will you tell me If there is any
truth In the old saying. 'Feed n cold
and starve a fever?' "
An established cold Is a fever, set up
by the presence of toxins which should
be thrown from the system through the
pores of the skin, lungs, kidneys and
Intestines. When one is suffering from
any form of fever the digestive organs
arc in no condition to care for food.
Nature, as a rule, takes away appetite
at such times. Give the children very
light diet. Toast and fruit will do for
the first day. Frequent or chronic colds
are often the result of a diet too rich
