SPECIAL BARGAINS
WOMEN OF ARMY POSTS.
Are Under Continual Scrutiny for Possible Departures from
 Discretion.

1 The life of an army wife is hard She lives under microscope. She Is subjected to a constant scrutiny, even more minute than that which the aV- ierage decent woman in a small town receiyes-which can be compared only to that brought to bear on the minis. ter's wife in such a town. Further more, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, the army wife, if she ventures to be indiscreet, is likely to find the micro. scope under which she lives instantly enlarged into a telescope through which the whole nation Is looking at her. Her husbands position make their domestic troubles likely to b. forced into national prominence, when they are, in fact, no worse than are occurring in every block in civil life 1 Under these circumstances 1t is a wonder not that so many but so few scandals affecting army wives get into the newspapers. The fact that they dc not-that the percentage of domestic scandals in the army attracting public attention is smaller than in civil life is the strongest possible testimony to the propriety and discretion of the army post woman. The old army toast of obligation-"The ladies, God blesi them" twas well warranted. The av. craze army wife has equals. but nc group of women averages higher.

BARNEY GILMORE.

A play that should appeal to theater- goe7s of all nationalities, but especially those in whose blood there moves q strain of Irish, is "A Rocky Road to Dublin" which Barney Gilmore will present at Polls for the first time to- morrow evening. Daniel l.. Hart, who wrote the play, knows how to make piece that will be effective not only on account of its story, but also because of the atmosphere it creates. His s'The Parish Priest" which has been one of Daniel Sully's greatest success es, is lovingly remembered here, and it is said that "A Rocky Road to Dublin is even better in every dra- matic detail. It's hero's character fits Mir Gilmore's personality beautifully, and Ireland of to-day is reproduced with genuine fidelity. Mir Gilmore will during the action introduce his latest songs and dances and series of solos which should make tremendous hit. The supporting company is an unusu- ally strong one and contains many old favorites. among them John D. Griffin, whose work as John James O'Grady in Denman Thompson's .sThe Sunshine of Paradise Alley was classic in it's line. The production is entirely new and the scenic mounting perfect in every detail. Prices are 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents.

BREAD-AND-BUTTER DUTY.
Certain Letters and Calls Obligatory on Guest to Show Appreciation
 of Accepted Courtesies.

The ''bread- butter letter" is the note of acknowledgment written by one to his hostess after @ visit. Tne "bread-and butter" call is the cal which one pays after having been en- tertained at dinner or luncheon or at any other regular meal. Plenty of persons know the thing who do not rec ognize the name for 1t. A good many persons apparently do not appreciate the necessity of either the letter or the call, remarks Success Magazine.
 Perhaps it is a little harsh to say that this is one of the ways in which a well-bred person can be distinguished from an underbred man or woman. Such a distinction throws too many persons who are otherwise all they should be into the outer darkness of the ill-bred. There are depressingly few who do not belong to one class or the other.
 Nearly everyone, however, unless he be an impossible sort of creature, ac- knowledges that the bread-and-bu letter Is indispensable. Most trans gressions in this line are found in the delays that are shown in writing. The first thing a guest should do after his return from a visit is to write his note of appreciation to the friends by whom he has just been entertained Often the guest seems to think that any time within a month or so will an- swer for it. That is the way in which it occasionally comes about that the note is never written. and that the quondam visitor puts himself down as hopelessly underbred-
 Sinners of this sort are few com pared with those who neglect their luncheon or dinner calls. Busy wom- en are often remiss in this respect. but they are angels of light when con- trasted with men.

The simplicity or the act is i'll large measure responsi- ble for it's effectiveness. There is no snaky music and dimmed lights, there are no mystic formulas. no hypnotic passes and no obvious sleight of hand. The stage is brilliantly lighted, the piano is played with only the proper

DEPENDENT ON FOOD.
ADEQUATE SUPPLY NECESSARY
 TO HEALTHY CIVILIZATION.
Mental Capacity of Mankind Rests
 Upon Proper Physical sus- tenance-Vital Prob
 1c,,a

MT. Robert Hunter, whose book, Poverty" caused such widespread discussion a short time ago, has an article on hungry and underfed school children in the Reader. Among other things of interest he says:
 Without a certain, regular and nu- tritious food supply civilization, such as we know 1t, could not exist. The present organization of society would be impossible. The size, health, strength, stamina and mental capacity of mankind would be entirely altered if the food supply were not what it is. Without good food it would be impossible to do the high-grade mental work which is now done, and the in- tense sustained physical effort of the modern workman would be impossible upon less sufficient diet Indeed, all that we are, either as individuals or as a completely constituted society of men, is made possible by the food supply. Ample food has made strong virile races, and the lack of food has made weak, ineffective races. Perhaps more than any other condition of life, it lies at the base of most of the social and mental inequalities among men. The strong, bouncing, full-blooded babies of the well-to-do would become, if their food supply were rendered irregular and of bad quality, puny. peevish and anaemic like those scrawny infants that fret for hunger in the tenements of the poor. For unquestionably, it is the lack of proper and insufficient food which is almost entirely responsible for the weak, mishapen little legs, the pigeon-breasts, the weak, watery eyes, the exhaustion, the languid bodies and even the feeble minds of so many of the children of poverty-stricken pa- rents.
 q think nearly all charity workers fail to realize this fact sufficiently, and they are apt to deceive themselves a great deal in such matters. They are emphasizing so much in their own minds responsibilities of moral kind. and they fear so much certain moral dangers that the purely physical and material things of life are sometimes overlooked They are so afraid of the social ruin involved in pauperism that the more serious and the more widespread ruin which results from hunger is sometimes forgotten. As a result of this attitude of mind, they do not give much time to discussing or to learning the meaning of the hun ger of children; it is something so in volved in the family affairs; 1t is so difficult to disentangle it from other things apparently of greater impor- tance that 1t is almost ignored. They either do not realize or do not recall that for every hungry child overlooked the germ of a social problem of an- other generation has been neglected. Nor do they quite realize that we shall not get through with the little ones who are underfed until we have paid over and over again, in reformatory, charitable and punitive effort, for our Ignorance of the meaning of the hun ger of children"

One of the latest French agricultural fads is being agitated by farmer near Marseilles, who declares that water melons supplied with milk freely poured around the roots will grow twice their normal size, and offers proof in the shape of prizes from many fairs which. he asserts. he was enabled to win through this practice. Accord ing to his theory the melon is provided with the proper combination of foods in exactly the right proportions and is enabled to throw all of its energy into its growth instead of sending forth long roots in order to draw from the soil what 1t requires as food. The process is said not only to increase the size of the melon. but to insure firm red pulp of delicious fayor.-N I. Herald.
