A DUST-pROOF CLOSET
in A FOLDING SCREEN
Valuable Continuance for Flat DweIers Evolved by Mrs:
Pike suggested by Her Own Difficulties

couldn't the panels be made double like
a shallow tray and fastened tightly to-
gether?
well, there is my first screen in the
corner and that is jusr what have made
it do, as you see"
The screen, of which the one in Mrs.
Pixies room is the model, looks like an
ordinary three panel screen five feet tall
and not till ones attention was called to
it would one notice that the panels had a
thickness about like the dress trays in a
trunk. They are, in fact. tall, thin boxes
set on end and opening out. Each side
Of each panel Is provided with castors SO
they open with perfect ease and the whole
screen is as easily pushed about as an
are fastened together with a fancy hook.
This makes the panels dust-proof and in
this important particular altogether SUI
periOr even to roomy closet.
The framework is substantial but light
and can be covered with denim, burlap,
tapestry, baize, leather, or anything which
the fancy and pocketbook decide. The
interior arrangements and size can also
be altered to suit the fancy or individual
requirements but screen or ordinary
height will accommodate skirts and coats
on hangers or hooks and leave room at
the bottom pockets for shoes, furs, ETC.,
and umbrellas can be- slipped through a
band attached to- the cloth of the screen.
On one panel of Mrs. Pixies own screen
hung ring into which had been slipped
her husbands ties, always in sight and at
hand. -
Another half panel of this screen was
the solution of the waist problem. In
this screen the frame is made very smooth
and the edges rounded off, 1t is covered
with dark red denim and unlined. For
the waists soft, light, lining strip had
been inserted In the half panel and to
these the waists were pinned. Fifteen
waists hung in the space without crowd
ing, wrinkling, mussing or soiling.

THE MOST DIGEsT1BLR FOODS

THE MOST DIGESTIBLE FOODS.
Authorities agree that beef is the most valu-
able animal source of nutriment; mutton and
venison next, then the flesh Of fowls, the
various kinds of game birds, and lastly, fish.
French scientists regard fish as only slightly
nutritive, but easily digestible. Its exclusive,
use is unwise, as it tends to diminish muscu-
lar force
The Public Health Journal, discussing the
digestible elements, says:
Fish is more digestible than the white meat
of fowl. sE sra ~ @
The flesh of shell fish crustaceans is hard of
digestion.
Roast meat is more digestble than boiled
Eggs very slightly cooked and dairy pro duce
are more digestble than white meats.
OF vegetables. the succulents are the most
dgestible. w &az
New bread is heavier than stale bread
The ailments to which the cooks art gives
liquid or semi-liquid form are, in general
more digestible. .v.I.-e1
The more readily an ailment is dissolved
by the juices of the stomach the easier its
digestion. a
Add to these facts the remark OF Dalton,
''Cheese contains the nutritious elements of
the milk in a condensed but somewhat in
digestible FORM" EE
Nevertheless, you will eat little cheese
after dinner; for, as Brillat-Savarin hath it,
"a dinner without cheese is like beautiful
woman with only one eye ~
OF the vegetable tribe, lentils, beans and
peas are the most nourishing.
Fruit, when perfectly ripe, is the most easy
of digestion, because the juice Of fruit con-
sists of pure grape sugar (glucose) and water.
| and it is in the form Of grape sugar that ali
starchy food is finally absorbed into the sys-
TEN. It may be said that the starch Of the
fruit, having been already changed into glu-
cose by the process of ripening, requires no
digestion after it is eaten by man, inasmuch
as it is already in the state in which this
element of nutrition is Immediately absorbed
into the system.

Women inventors seldom go at working
out their contriyances with deliberation
and purpose. Instead, they note some
thing lacking in some piece of furniture
or other article of feminine need, and
they think out some original way Of sup
plying that lack. Or the creation may be
a wholly new one, to enable them to do
something in an easier and better way.
From this fact arises the other that
Women's inventions are generally practl-
cal, unitarian and simple They may
be wholly novel in idea and of the great
est value but they are seldom complicated,
for women do not usually possess knoWl-
edge Of mechanics sufficient to evolve
elaborate devices.
Mrs. R. A. Pike of Minneapolis has an
invention that Is typically feminine IN

GIVE lived a good many years in flats
and boarding houses, said Mrs. Pike, In
telling how the thought of the screen
came to her, "and had been constant
sufferer from the poor provision made for
great deal of trouble. I had tall pile
Of boxes filled with them on shelf in
the closet. They took up lot of room
and, while they protected the waists from

mussed more or less.

VALUE OF OLIVE Oil
1t Is Good for Colds and General
ST Debility.

: No household where there are children
should be without olive oil, for it is an in
valuable medicine in certain cases. For a
weakly or rickety child or one who is recover
ing from typhoid fever salad oil will some
times work wonders. The plan is to rub in
the oil over the whole Of the child's body,
especially about the upper part, taking few
drops at a time into the palm of the hand.
The nourishment thus absorbed through the
skin will be of immense service in building
up the child's strength. When child is
suffering from a severe cold, it is good
plan to omit the daily bath and to rub the
back and chest with olive oil. To insure no
further cold being caught, the child should
be wrapped in q blanket and carefully
screened from drafts while the rubbing is be-
ing done. A threatening Of Group often will
end in threatening only If oil and camphor
be applied to the ~childs chest. The method
is to saturate q piece of flannel sprinkle 1t
with a little powdered camphor and apply it
to the chest and throat warm as it can be
borne. Cover with a piece of dry flannel
and change as soon as it gets cold.

In so far as the Alaska boundary question Is concerned, the fundamental trouble with the new Bri lsh claim Is that it cannot be taken seriously as an inter national dispute.

BAD BOYS PUNISHED.
Electric Company Complains of Lamps
Being Smashed at Benning.

The United States Electric Lighting
Company recently wrote to the District
Commissioners complaining of number
OF broken lamps in the vicinity of Ben
ming, d. c.. evidently the work of vi
cious boys.
The matter was referred to the police
department, and Lieut. John C. Daley
OF the Ninth precinct. has reported that
four boys who broke the lamps were ar
rested few days ago by Policeman
Foley and fined for the offense. and in
addition to that punishment they were
cautioned not to throw stones or other
missiles into the streets on pain of fur
ther arrest. Lieutenant Daley stated that
the boys being quite young, their par
ents were notified that collateral would
be larger If the boys were subject 70
arrest second time.
The report of Lieutenant Daleys has
been approved by the Commissioners AMI
the company will be informed according
ly.
