BELTS THAT ARE MoDisA..
Popular Adjunct to the Up-to-D Date
49, Costume for the Winter

A great deal may be said about tht
new belts, for they form SO essential a
part of the costume that they must NOT
be left out.
In the beginning Of the chapter upon
belts it must be stated, says the Brook
lyn Eagle, that they are divided into
several classes. No longer is. a belt q

it is a stomacher. Again belt is sc
fashioned that it forms a wide back.
making position effect; and it is GO
cut that it is deep enough to dispense
with the shirt waist. With a deep pos
tilion belt, and { handsome deep stock.
one can put on ones winter Eton coal
and be very presentable.
There is one pretty belt more in the
form of girdle, and made of Liberty
satin. 1t is smooth and wide and is laid
in folds. 1t is very deep, coming almost
up under~the arms. 1t is snug and it IL
put together without visible fastening
There is neither hook nor eye and there
is no buckle nor button of any kind.
Such a girdle is best made over .
crinoline foundation. But you can de-
very nicely by taking three yards ol
Liberty satin ribbon four inches wide
To make your girdle, pin one end of the
ribbon in the freRt, fastening it secure.
ly.s1 Now begin and wind the ribbon
tightly around your waist. gradually
increasing the width of the girdle
Finally pin the loose end tightly and in.
visibly with tiny pins.

DRUGS USED FOR HEADACHE
Injurious Habit Uneonseiously 40.
quired by Many Sufferers
M from the Affection. 1s&

- ~
In previous article a warning was
uttered against the danger OF a resort
to headache powders" and other
powerful drugs for, the relief of head
ache. 1t was shown, says Youths
Companion, that the remedy eventHal-
ly would prove worse than the dis
ease. and that the wisest course for q
sufferer from periodical attacks of
pain. in the head was to search for
the cause Of the trouble and remove
I it, or, if that was not possible, to use
such palliative measures As = would
soften the pain and perhaps shorten
the attack, even if they could not
cure.
There is another unfortunately large
class of sufferers for whom this warn
ing comes too late. The headaches
have existed for so many years that
they have become inveterate and re-
cur again and again, until seemingly
the only possible mitigation of the
suffering is in drugs. The headache
'habit'' is fully established, and the
drug habit has followed as an almost
necessary consequence. The problem
is now the cure of the drug habit.
which must be attacked by the re-
nnoval of the cause the headache
habit. -. II
! Severe periodical headaches, of the
kind which almost force the sufferer
to drugs, are almost always either
ocular or equity. They can be pre-
vented only by the accurate fitting Of
glasses or the. remedyipg. of other de-
fects. or by overcoming the equity con-
dition. Neither of these tasks is easy.
even to the most skillfu of physicians,
after the headaches have persisted SO
long that 'habit1 of the system has
been formed, yet persistence in treat
ment will always bring an smeliora-
ton, and sometimes cure. re 3
The sufferer from gouty or uric-acid
headache has usually for the time be-
ing the choice of three evils--to en-
dure the pain, to take some more OF
less, poisonous, drug with its evil con-
sequences on the heart and in the es-
tablishment of habit, or to take
acids with the design. of transferring
the pain from the head to the joints
Permanent relief can be got only, IN
general, from dieting -eIther alone OF
combined with appropriate treatment
at some mineral spring. .; hf.: Z, =
Such a grave condition should b
course be treated by the trained physi-
clan, and it is possible here to indi-
cate only the general outline of die
tary called for. 1t Is the rigid ex-
clusion for a time, at least, of all
meat, fish, poultry, eggs, tea and cof-
fee, as well as peas and beans. One
need not fear starvation even under
this radical regimen, for there re-
mains choice of milk, cheese, bread
and butter, fruits, nuts, potatoes and
nearly all the vegetables. ,sa

TURKISH FINANCE is ODD.
The Unit Of Value Has Varying Prices
According to the Various
Localities. a

The new colonies of Jews are due to
the Zionist movement inaugurated BY
Jewish mililonaires. like tie Roths-
childs, says the San Francisco Argo-
naut. Israel Zangwill, the author, is
one of the ardent advocates OF hegira OF
the Jews to their ancient home. Jews
are certainly pouring into Palestine
from all over Europe. But the consuls
in Jerusalem doubt the desirability Of
this movement; they say that the Jewish
colonists are failures as agriculturists,
and seem to succeed only as shopkeep-
ers or money changers. And one GER
tainly sees more Jewish money changers
than Turkish, although it would seem
fitting for the business of changing
Turkish money to be in the hands OF
Turkish money changers. Perhaps the
Turks do not understand the Turkish
money as well as the Jews do. Here is
a brief resume of some of its eccen-
tricities:
The Turkish gold unit is the Ira, or
pound, worth about S5; the Turkish sil-
yer unit is the plaster, worth about s
cents. When we were in Turkey the Ira
was thus quoted: In Constantinople,
100 piasters; in Beirut, 123 piasters; in
Jaffa, 141 piasters; in Jerusalem. 124
piasters; in Damascus, 129 piasters. To
this must be added the further fact that
even these values fuctuated from day to
day with the fluctuations in exchange OF
Turkish silver. This is about the same
as it would be If our American gold
piece called the half eagle were worth on
the same day S. in New York, $525 in
Chicago, $3.50 in Omaha, $500 in Salt
Lake and $5.35 in San Francisco. II
! add to the foregoing that the Turkish
metallic currency (metallik) current in
Constantinople is uncurrent In every
,ther Turkish city; if state that the
value of the Turkish pound is quoted
differently in buying different commodi-
ties; If say that the foregoing is mere
ly the government rateof exchange and
that there is a commercial rate of ex-
change which is different; if remark
that the four foreign post Offices in Je-
rusalem have rate of exchange of their
own, which also differs; i'll set down the
curious fact that the railway companies
recognize none of these rates of ex-
change, but have rate of their own also
Il may not be believed, but neverthe,
less it is entirely true.

PLUM STONES FOR PAVING
Suburb of London Makes Use of the
Pits in Improving the
Streets.

The streets of London are not YET
paved with gold, despite popular tradi-
tion to the contrary, but one of the busi-
est southeastern metropolitan suburbs
has discovered that plum stones consti-
tute a highly serviceable and inexpen-
sive substitute for ordinary material.
says Pearson's.
This suburb is the center of the jam
and preservers' manufacturing industry.
During the season the fruit often deteri-
crates and the magistrate thereupon
conflscates the consignment. 1t is ne
uncommon circumstance for from 60 TO
100 tons of fruit to be condemned in .
single day.
Instead of being discharged into
barges and dumped into the sea, the fruit
is destroyed in much more hygienic
manner. 1t is consigned to the refuse
destructer, and the ashes are collected
and by various processes are compressed
into slabs like stone, which they resem-
BILE very closely.
A well known sugar refinery utilizes
the dress from the product for paving
The waste is a very thick viscous fluid
What to do with it was a very thorny
problem for some time.
At last one of the employees conceived
the idea of mixing it with ashes, the
latter being applied in sufficient quaint
ties to render the mass solid and stable
The mixture is then cut into small bricks
and compressed.
In the north of England many Of thi
roads are laid with glass Stag. This ref
use is the waste from the factories, anC
for many years, as no commercial. use
was found for it, the Stag was left to ac
cumulate in huge mounds, disfgurine
the countryside.
A Paris inventor, however, came tC
the rescue. He devised process for
preparing this refuse and burning it into
small blocks The Stag was melted. ant
by a secret treatment its brittle treat
ment was successfully overcome.
Experiments are now being carried
out to prove the efficiency of steel fo.
road paving. The steel is two inches
thick and is in large plates. which are
bolted together.
One town, whose great desire is to re-
duce the noise of the traffic in thestreets
to the minimum, has paved some Of the
thoroughfares with composition OF
cork and other material The cork is firsI
granulated and then mixed with prep
aration which solidifies the powdered
-
BILE substance.
India rubber is also used for the SAINT
purpose, being laid three inches II
thickness. but the high cost of the ma.
terial precludes its extensive adoption

SOUTHERN BoRAX FIELDS.
Taking Out the Deposits Is Very SIM
liar to Digging Po-
tatoes. a -,

In the Argentine republic are vast
fields of borax, which are sometimes
spoken of as borax mines" They are
not mines, however, as the process of
securing the borax is clcse- akin to
agriculture than mining. The vast,
fiat, earthly surfaces of the borax
fields" says writer in describing the
scene, lost themselves in extreme dis
tance or mirage, and to all appearance
any one square yard was similar to
any other part. Wherever the crust
of the salinas in the locality of Tres
MUros or Moreno had been dug into
~ or IA inches deep, there lay masses
of soft, white, round potatoes of
borax, packed closely together to a
depth of about Is inches.
Digging borax was just Ike dig
ging potatoes, and the borax potatoes
were staked in rows on the ground,
just as freshly dug potatoes on farm
are laid in rows. The Jumps of borax
however, are probably five or six. times
as numerous as real potatoes would
be in the same area. The Jumps of
borax varied from the size of hens
egg to pieces of one and two cubic feet
in size. They lay close below the sur
face. and when broken we're soft look
ing, like moist snow.
After lying in rows in the air, SUBJ
ject to the intensely drying winds
that swept over the plains the wet
snow color became white, like pure,
dry snow, the Jumps became hard,
and the weight diminished more than
half, by reason Of the evaporation OF
the water. The borax then contained
about As per cent of pure boracie
acid. In some places borax lay in un
broken seams Is to 20 inches thick"

FATTENlNo TURKEYS .
Some Hints for Preparing the Birds
for the Market-What to
~ y, @ Feed Them.

When selling dressed poultry, 1t al
ways pays to have as plump, nice
looking carcasses as can possibly be
obtained. The producer thus not only
obtains higher prices, but his reputa-
ton is enhanced and his market made
surer for future years. Turkeys are
no exception to the rule. And by
shutting them up and feeding them
properly. the poorest specimens may
be brought into fine condition for
marketing In q month or two. Some
have found that barley meal and COZ
meal. mixed half and half, is . mo-
excellent ration for fattening fowls,
especially IL it be fed fresh at each
meal, with no more. given than the
turkeys will eat up clean. 1t Is tte
opinion of the writer, however, thnk
more variety is better. AccordinglY,
he would suggest that boiled potatoes
mashed and mixed with meal, win
some skinned milk added, be fe1
moderately warm and to substitute for
the lack of insects, have some kind u
animal food, Of which nothing -
cheaper or more desirable than butch-
ers' scraps, stirred into it. AT least
once day good sound corn one year
old, should also be given; new corn II
too loosening to be used. No more q
this than of the mash, however. should
be thrown out than the birds can -
induced to eat up clean and that the
flesh may look bright and present :

the water they want to drink. Tur-
keys that have got their growth and
are in fair condition. may be fattened
