Feeding Bees in Winter

Don't feed syrup to bees in winter.
Use the combs of honey and the candy.
1t is just as well, If not better, to feed
right away, Very quietly remove the
outside comb or combs at one side. So
that you can put the frame of honey
or candy right next to the bees. The
bees will do the rest, OF course YOU
will not use any smoke. If your work
is carefully done, you VIII have No
trouble in regard to colonies that are
too light for winter and need feeding

All manner of foods that have starch
and sugar are necessarily fattening IL
they can be digested. If this diet is
followed, there Is promise of many ad-
ditional pounds for the subject.
Milk has great value, and If the stom-
ach can stand it two quarts a day may
be taken with advantage. Limewater
mixed with it makes II more easy of
assimilation to most people. The best
way is to drink milk slowly. Taken hot
just before going to bed, 1t promotes
restful sleep and so greatly helps the
thin one to lay on" flesh.
Cold baths are very thinning in their
tendency and should be avoided by the.
would-be plump person. OF course
violent or longsustained exercise will
keep one slender in spite of all precau-
lions. Never try to eat more than sou
have an appetite for, as merely loading
the stomach does not mean that the
food will ever be turned into good, use
full tissue.
And constant worry is to- be avoided,
for irritation of the nerves would rem

What You Can DO with $50 Year.
Feathers and flowers are lovely, but
| never buy them" remarked a stylish
looking woman, NOR silk waists and
petticoats. They are too expensive"
Her companion surveyed her critical
ly before replying: yet there are few
women of my acquaintance who are so
uniformly well dressed. You look
smarter than most of them, and'--al-
most rogatively-"must spend at
least $400 annually on clothes"
Nothing like it! My allowance is ex-
actly $3.50 Thirty dollars is set apart
for incidentals-toilet necessities, the
hair dresser occasionally, sometimes
the iropodist-leaving $780, or $40 a
month, for clothing, and l make point
of spending every penny of 1t every
twelve months-not a cent more or less
THE most important item is the
broadcloth tailor-made street gown. BY
going to all the best shops it is always
possible to find at some one of them a
tirst-class quality at reasonable price,
and it is extravaganza to buy anything
excepting good material, as this gown
must be the standby for a year. The
silk lining should be of good quality as
well. BY the way, never purchase any
thing but a black lining, even IL the
cloth is of some other color, because
this is one Of those instances where one
and one make one and not two; that is
to say, portion Of one half-worn lining
added to portion of another in sim
liar condition make what Is practically
equal to a new one. Street gowns are
smartest trimmed with the same ma
terial or with stitching, and there are
tailors who will make a coat and skirt
for from So to SIS, according to the
amount of work, furnishing hooks, sew
ing silk, etc. We will allow $27 for the
cloth gown. The first year 1t serves for
church, for the theater and for visiting.
You may be certain, however, that there
are never any risks taken, and if the
weather is at all threatening, last years
dress is donned.

A writer in the Lancet informs the
world that "the operation of gastrect-
omy Is on Its trial" He then quotes
thus Although the entire stomach
has been removed for cancer with
temporary success, we cannot think
that the number of cases in which this
can be done will be large; nor do we
look upon the operation as at all q
favorable one. They do not even de
scribe the operation, as "if the growth
be sufficiently large to warrant such a
severe procedure, 1t is practically be-
yond hope of immunity from recur
renee" 1t is evident that the Ian
Gets expert has no patience with sur
geons who would permit people to re
tain their stomachs when opportuni-
ties for removing them have been Of
fered Here Is his declaration: "It
seems to me that in all cases of gastric
| carcinoma, where operation Is advls-
| able at all, gastrectomy Is indicated,
as, 1t having been proved that the
stomach Is not essential for digestion
the more complete its removal the
greater should be the probable immu
nifty from recurrence, while the risk Is
not proportionally increased. If at all
possible 1t is, however, wise, for ply
Biological reasons as well as for ease
In operation, to leave n small portion
of healthy stomach" The gentleman
should be thanked for his concession
as to the small portion of healthy
stomach, but why leave any of tn,
stomach If 1t Is not essential for diges
ton? Why carry stomach or even {
portion of one around just as matter
Of form? Describing an interestin,

The brides are now stocking up with
their kitchen and other showers against
a rainy day-to speak paradoxically-
and the happy bridegroom contem-
plates with satisfaction these aids to
successful matrlmony. But old papa
recalls the days of his courtship and
marriage. when the solemn words hav-
ing been said, and the bride having
been duly and affectlonately saluted, he
hustled for kitchen things and bedroom
furniture and parlor lamps and all 9th
er Accomplishments to true living. In
those days (says pater) young fellow
was glad enough to get good wife
Mt any cost, but now in order to induce
a young man to marry it is necessary
to "stock him up" in advance. and put
him on his feet and assure him of a
comfortable living until such time as
prosperity is secure or the worst hap
pens. Perhaps old pater Is a trihe pes
bimistic. but the old chap means well.
Forsooth he may have more daughters
TO marry than sons to profit thereby

The question of the "sweatDoX
which has provoked a great deal OF
discussion of late has been treated by
the Indiana Supreme Court in perfect
consonance with public opinion. The
particular case before 1t was that OF
boy who was accused Of larceny ana
who was put through the sweatbox by
police officer, though the latter had
no warrant for his arrest Suit was
brought for personal damages. and the
court held that an award of S4OO was
moderate. AS to the principles in
volved, it declared first that IAN officer
cannot legally hold the person arrested
in custody for longer period Of time
than Is reasonably necessary, under all
the circumstances of the case, to OBJ
tain proper warrant or order for his
further detention from some tribunal
or officer authorized under the law to
issue such a warrant or order" In
lne second place the decision rejects
the excuse that delay may be neces-
sary to investigate case and procure
evidence. The one thing to procure Is
vibrant, and that is not n matter
that is left to the discretion of the Of
ficer When he assumes to act on his
own responsibility he Is doing some
thing beyond his legal powers and be-
comes liable for the transgression The
decision is clearly dictated in the inter
est of civil liberty, and both the spirit
of civil liberty and humanity demand
that even when there has been due
process of law prisoners should not be
subjected to cruel treatment. Brutali-
| ty should never be tolerated in the ad-
ministration OF justice.

Glittering Mantle Of Snow and

ANOTHER COLD WAVE COMING

The weather is becoming gradually
colder and the forecast predicts an
other cold wave. The snow and ice
upon the streets have thawed but little,
and the pavements tonight promise to
he more slippery than ever. Snow Is
also promised.
When the people looked out from
their bed room windows yesterday
morning it was upon a sight that
would cause the most prosaic to gaze
with wonder. A mantle of glistening
ice and snow covered everything, and
the rays of the bright sun trans
formed the whole scene into one Of
dazzling splendor.
From the caves of the houses hung
large icicles. and on the grass and
weeds. diamond like mantle was
thrown. transforming the vacant lots
into fields Of gigantic diamonds. AS
the wind blew the tall grass the fields
were one sparkling mass

was slighted. Every way one looked,
and was greeted by the almost Dhnulhg
glitter
The streets were treacherous and
church-goers and other pedestrians ex-
| perienced many falls The pavgments
were walked upon but little, almost
everyone taking the street. Even then
it was not an uncommon sight to see
them clutohing wildly at the air trying
to gain their foothOld.
The sure-footed small boy stuck to
the pavements. however. and gibed
his elders numerically when they were
doing stunts in the streets in their eff
forts to stand up. The youngsters also
had their sleds and skates out, and the
day was enjoyed by them. Many of the
trees are still covered with sleet.
Several accidents were the result Of
the slippery condition of the streets.

1t is the opinion of railroad men
who should know that the site on

mense freight yard after the elevated
road is completed.

ton will have been torn down. which
viii be done when the elevated tracks
are completed the entire square between

sheds and additional tracks for the

The new transfer station at Edge
Moor has greatly relieved the freight
station inthis CITY, but still the busi-

the time inside the car close TO the
Il aters, and consequently were soon
sound asleep.

sons. further down the street, awaited
the coming of the car to bring them
into town. After a very long delay
