TIE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

SOME PROBLEMS.

There are some problems which
many who are eager for war have not
stopped to fully consider. A view Of
the situation which has not received
much attention was presented to the
President by DR.. Louis Klopsch of the
Christian Herald, who has been engag-
ed in relief work in Cuba. He says.
I reported to him that there were 2o5,-
900 reconcentrados who had no means
of support other than that given by
American charity. I. told him that
when I left Cuba we had enough food
in our storehouse there to supply the
reconcentrados for the next twenty
days. 7 also informed him that if war
should be declared it would mean death
by starvation to many Cubans, for
Spain would take possession of the
food we have in our storehouse My
words to the President We're: 1.-THE pen
that signs declaration of war signs
the death warrant of 100000 reconcen-
trados." I also told him that the
better class of people in Cuba were in
favor Of autonomy-that they would
consider independence a terrible calam-
ity. informed him that the majority
of the Cubans believed this.
If DR.. Klopsch is right in his ideas
and facts a war for humanity that
would sign the death warrant Of $780,
900 poor Wretches wouldn't be so very
humane. And war to give independ-
ence to people who don't want it would
be rather extra.

silver embroidered gauze. But it must
be high necked If it is for a hotel
dinner or for the theater except in
box Taffeta silk in rose, white, emer-
aid, or violet is used, and is much be-
frilled, but without lace. AS a rule the
waist is of the blouse, or the glorified
shirt waist variety, though some of
the coat or eton jacket cut are seen.
For home or private dinners and
semi formal occasions, that dressy
bodice is half cut out at the neck, is
elaborated with lace, ribobn, embroid-
cry and spangles, and cannot be too
ornate. 1t Is understood, though, that
for the downright formal occasion bod
ice and skirt must match, but let us
whisper, the bodice that with it's own
skirt may be formal" with another
skirt may pass for just 'dressy."
By these rulings this pictured bodice
was of the formal grade, for besides its
low neck and abundant lace, it's trim
ming was echoed in the ornamentation
of the skirt. The color, too, was anoth-
er mark Of the formal rig, both the
satin of the bodice and the MORE We
lours of the skirt being white. The
sleeves and the broad bands at front
and back of the bodice were cream
lace, shoulder relief being supplied by
small pleated chiffon epaulettes. The
skirt was made with Spanish f1ounce,
the bottom Of which had a four-inch
band of the lace, the heading being
pleated chiffon. A white yoke might
be added to the bodice If that were de-
sired. FLORETTE.

were injured, being OIL per cent, and
the administration has had to pay over
SILL $50 for accidents for which it has
been held responsible. Perhaps the
frequency of accidents may be explain
ed by reference to another part of the
report-that dealing with the hours of
labor. 1t appears that 14,911 employees
worked from twelve to thirteen hours
a day, 1929 worked fourteen to fifteen
hours and 1890 worked fifteen to six
teen hours. Trackmen, guards and
switch tenders have the longest work
ing hours. What wonder with such
long hours there are so many acct
dents!
There isn't much in the report to en-
courage the socialists of this country,
or even the socialists of Prussia.

hadn't half the respect for burning
bushes that I have since my return
from a recent trip to west Texas.
That country is the blank blanked
place for natural curiosities that I ever
went up against, and my little intro
duction to the fire bush, came near
leaving me in a state Of nervous pro-
stration.
II went out one morning from DR..
Merriwether's ranch with my Winches-
ter on my arm shoulder to shoot few
Jack rabbits for practice. / climbed
up on little plateau where the alkali
was thicker than paint on a soubrette
and had trailed along for a couple of
hours without seeing anything when
big yellow bird, like a pheasant,
chucked at me from beneath a bush at
the side Of the ravine. The creature
was so friendly that thought I could
bat him over or perhaps catch him
alive. I leaped at him and when he
'side-stepped' fell into the bush. As
I scrambled to my feet I was fabbe-
gasted to find that brown shrub burn
ing merrily beside me. I had
just Lille W uOuSS liiC iie'iti~
and in doing so I struck anoth-
er plant of the same variety. In
an instant, with a little swish, it. too
sprang into flame. I turned, horror
stricken, to rum and dashed straight
into a third shrub which at once took
part in the confagration. At that !
lost my head, and dropping my gun l
sprang away frantically through the
underground, leaving behind me rail
of fire like comets tail I don't know
just how far I ran, but at last ex-
hausted, fell to the ground and In
few moments the bushes ceased to
burn. When sufficiently recovered
crawled carefully to the trail, giving
anything that looked bushy and brown
a wide berth.
"And Merriwether only laughed as he
told me that the fire bush is specie:
of cactus which at a certain period OF
the year will take fire by spontaneous
combustion when violently shaken, as
by some one running through then.--

When Abraham Lincoln and his
counsellors We're sagaciously doing the
very best they could for their country
they We're sharply criticised because
they didn't do something else. 1t is re-
lated that the patient President thus
addressed one excited company of
critics: Gentlemen, suppose all the
property you were worth was in gold,
and you had put it in the hands Of
Blondin to carry across the Niagara
river on a rope, would you shake the
cable or keep shouting out to him,
'Blondin, stand UP little straighter;
Blondin, stoop little more; go q little
faster; lean a little more to the north;
lean a little more to the south?' No,
you would hold your breath as we'll as
your tongue, and keep your hands off
until he was safe over. The govern
ment are carrying an immense weight.
