LONDON PLANNING .
FOR SKYSCRAPERS
Scheme to Erect High Towers to
Circumvent the Build
ing Laws. sISs
New York Herald Special Service.

New York Herald Special Service.
London, Nov. 27.-There are signs
that an era Of skyscrapers will. before
is a fatal bar to its introduction, in
the London councils building act.
which prohibits such structures. No
building may be. erected in London Of
greater height than eighty feet, with
two extra stories, making roughly a.
limit of 100 feet. Advocates Of sky.
scrapers, or steel frame buildings, hold
that this is restriction which was all
very well in the days Of masonry, but
it is absurd in the days of steel.
"Once the skyseraper is introduced
lofty steel frame buildings will 90 like
wildfre,' said B. V. Thwaite, WELL
skyscraper in America and is convinced
that it is bound to come to London. Mr..
Thwaite says there is a growing force
Of professional opinion in favor Of the
steel building.
To Circumvent Law.
An ingenious suggestion for intro
ducing the skyscraper, in the guise Of
a tower, is made by the Builders Jour
nal, and it had additional interest from
the fact that it comes within the scope
Of the bylaws. Why not build office
towers, it asks, and it foreshadows Lon
don as. city of towers reaching to
about the height of the Campanile or Of
Westminster cathedral.
To inquiry at the office Of the Build
ers Journal it was stated that the idea
was to construct towers on the steel
frame principle, which is more eco
nomical and gives more space than a
masonry building.
An ideal tower building, it was sug-
gested, would consist of four lofty
square towers, standing apart but con.
nected by narrow necks with a central
tower which would contain the stair
case and the elevators. This plan, It
was argued, would secure light and air
to every part Of the building and
"would thus be superior to the Ameri-
can plan Of skyscrapers, in which the
| lower rooms of the interior of large
building have to depend on artificial
| light.
Relieve Space Pressure.
Argument in favor of such office tow.
ers is that they would help to relieve
| the pressure in space, which is growing
gl eater in the center of London every
year.
Instead of building seven or eight
stories, there could be office towers OF
| sixteen or twenty. and more business
people could be accommodated IN given
/ area with as much light and air as now
There is no doubt, it was stated, that
! the present building act kills enterprise
! in the building trade, and but for Its
restrictions it is certain skyscrapers
would already exist In London.

Urges Follow-up Work.

Rev. W...B. Riley spoke on the fol
lowing up work which must be done if
the results of the great revival were to
be at all permanent. He urged that
the converts at once be admitted to the
most complete Christian fellowship and
be given something to do that they
might feel that they were in truth parts
of the great Christian church. He pre-
dicted that by Jan. / the membership
Of the city churches would be increased
by 5000 as a direct result Of the re-
vival services. - r- -
Willard Patten spoke at length of
the proposed revival of church singing
and suggested that the city be divided
into sixteen districts in the furtherance
Of this design. His plan is to have the
old church hymns sung at nightly meet
ing until they regain their hold upon
the hearts and ears of the people. His
plan met with the hearty Endorsement
of the assembly

done. Introduce the rice into two
cups of boiling water, place the dish
containing it in steamer, and allow
it to cook one hour without stirring.
Serve with a sauce prepared by rub.
bling well-cooked dried apples through
colander, and afterward evaporat.
ing, if necessary, to the consistency
of marmalade.
Graham Bread.-Take a little less
than one-fourth cake of compressed
yeast, dissolved In little milk, and
add new milk, scalded and cooled to
lukewarm, to make one pint. Add one
pint of white flour, beat very thor.
oughly and set to rise. When very
light, add three and one-half cupfuls
of sifted Graham flour, or enough to
make dough that can be nodded,
Knead well for half an hour. Place
in clean, slightly oiled bread bowl,
cover, and allow 1t to raise. When
light, shape into loaf; allow 1t to
raise again, and bake.
Cream crlsps.--Into two and one

doing they only involve themselves
still more deeply, and thereby indef-
nitely postpone the day for their de-
liverance, and often make their deliv-
cry altogether impossible.
Whether the CALLING yoke Of disease
manifests itself in the form Of slavery
to some drug habit, or as neurasthen-
la, or In some terrible form Of indiges-
ton, or many Of the various nerve dis
orders, 1t cannot be juggled away by
simply swallowing few drops Of med.
icine from some mysteriously labeled
bottle. Such an individual must re.
pent so effectually that 1t will lead
him to adopt radical changes in all
the habits Of his life. He must I'M
dertake to earn at least part Of his
bread in the divinely appointed way

Instead Of trying to induce nature
to convert dietetic wood, hay, and
stubble into good, wholesome blood,
the business man who wishes to live
as long as his country cousins must
begin to cultivate a taste for whole
some and nutritious foods. He must
discard perniclous drinks, whether
they are served over the bar in the
form OF whisky, or in his own home In
the form of tea and coffee. He must
recognize as an inspired truth that
every tobacco user is warning against
his own interest, and II he instructive
ly realizes that he is approaching
physical disaster, he must earnestly
and theoretically endeavor to give up
Notwithstanding habits no matter
how dear they may be- to him.

Coffee Acts the Jonah and VIII Come
Up,

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling In country parish In Iowa,
tells Of his coffee experience:
my wife and | used coffee regular
ly for breakfast, frequently fer dinner
and occasionally for supper always
the very best quality package coffee
never could find a place on our table.
I'm the spring of 1895 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee
drinking but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however,
she was attacked second time by
the vomiting. | was away from home
filling an appointment, at the time.
and on my return found her very
low; she had literally vomited herself
almost to death, and 1t took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
Il had also experienced the same

relieved 1t, each time, by resort to
medicine.
But my wifes second stack salts
fed me that the use Of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles, and so we
stopped 1t forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms Of disease disappeared and dur
Ing the 9 years that we have been
using Postum instead Of coffee we
have never had a recurrence of the
vomiting. We never weary Of Postum,

DR.. S. A. Knopf in an address
briefly and clearly outlines the duty
Of each citizen in combating tubercu-
losis:
II YOU are In the presence Of con-
sMmptive who Is not yet under medi-
cal care, teach him What you know of
the prevention of the disease and ad-
wise him to seek the counsel Of a COM
petent physician. II he is too poor to
pay for a consultation, and too proud
to ask 1t for nothing, tell him to ap-
ply to the health department, which
will send one of its physicians with
out cost. No tuberculosis invalid, no
matter in what stage of the disease,
whether living in palace or in the
poorest tenement house, should be
without medical adviser. If you
meet consumptive who Is ignorant
of the precaution he should take, do
not shun him like leper, but treat
him with kindness, and convince him
that whatever he does to prevent the
spread of the disease among others
will also improve his own condition
and increase the chances OF his re-
covery. Let me tell you that clean,
conscientious consumptive Is as safe
person to associate with as any
body. If in your daily life you can
influence others to make themselves
familiar with the necessary knowl-
edge of the prevention of tubercu-
iosis, do SO! If through your inf1u-
cnce, your words, and example you
can combat the fearful curse Of our
nations alcoholism beseech you, do
your duty
Some individuals have, by virtue of
their calling, a, special duty to per-
form in the combat Of tuberculosis.
or these | mention, first, the teachers
of the public schools, the clergymen,
the editors of the public press, en-
ployers and philanthropists.

Food for the Sick,

There is no branch of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that of preparing food for the sick
and feeble. The purpose Of food at
all times is to supply material for re-
pairing the waste which is constant
ly going on in the vital economy; and
hence it ought always to be chosen
with reference to its nutritive value.
But during illness and convalescence,
when the waste is often much great
or and the vital powers less active, 1t
is of the utmost importance that the
food should be of such character as
VIII supply the proper nutrition. Nor
Is this all; an article of food may
contain all the elements of nutrition
in such proportions as to render 1t a
wholesome food for those in health,
and not be proper food for the sick,
for the reason that its conversion into
blood and tissue lays too great tax
upon the digestive organs. Food for
the sick should be palatable, nutri-
tious and easily assimilated. To dis
criminate as to what food will supply
these requisites, one must possess
some knowledge of dietetics and phys.
iology, as well as of the nature of the
Illness with which the patient is suf-
fering; and such knowledge ought
tn no mart nf no education Of
woman, no matter to what class of So
ciety she belongs.
Hot buttered toast, tea, rich jellies
and other dainties so commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles of diet which they
could partake. AS rule, elaborate
dishes are not suitable.
Scrupulous neatness and care in all
the minute particulars of the cooking
and serving of food for invalids will
add much to its palatableness. The
clean napkin on the tray, the bright
silver and dainty china plate, with
perhaps sprig of leaves and flow
ers beside it, thinly sliced bread, toast
or crackers and the light cup partly
filled with hot Cruel are far more APP
petizing to the invalid than coarse
ware, thickly cut bread and an over
flowing cup of Cruel, though the cook
ing may be just as perfect. So far as
practicable, the wants of the patient
should be anticipated, and the meal
served, surprise.

The Modern slave.

While modern civilization has abol-
ished involuntary servitude, 1t has In
troduced another form Of slavery
which is responsible for more prema-
ture deaths than ever was attributed
to the old-time human bondage. The
ancient slave was often forced to sub
sist upon miserable food, and to eat at
irregular times and In hurried man
ner. The modern slave, or in other
words. the modern business man,
"feels' compelled to do exactly the
same thing; consequently, he expert
ences similar suffering.
Fully one-haif Of our socalled sue
cessful business men are on the very
verge of physical bankruptcy. Poor
management, physically speaking, Is

Distinction.

The disinfection of clothing is a
matter which every one should I'M
derstand Ordinary boiling will de-
stroy all sorts of dangerous germs
The boiling should be continued halt
an hour. Clothing which cannot be
boiled should be burned or disinfected
by sulphur or formalin.
Rooms must be disinfected by the
last-named means and by thorough
icrubbing with strong, hot soapsuds
Open doors and windows as widely
as possible SO as to allow the admis-
sion of the largest possible amount of
light and the freest circulation Of air.
Remove the old paper from the
walls, and burn it. Wash the bare
walls with strong soapsuds, and then
apply whitewash to the ceiling.
Cleanse the woodwork with solution
of fresh chloride Of lime, one pound
10 the gallon.
Remove the carpet from the floor,
the bedding from the bed and every
other fabric from the room, and thor
oughly dsinfect them before replac-
ing.
Ordinary scrubbing, whitewashing
and ventilation are useful and neces-
sary, but are not sufficient. Disin-
lection is required. One of the most
convenient and effective means of dis
infection is fumigation by the burning
of common sulphur. The following is
the best method of doing this:
Into a tub or a large dishpan pour
water TO the depth Of an inch. Place
in the vessel two bricks laid fatwise
and near together. Set upon the
bricks an old iron kettle Put into
the kettle a proper quantity of flour
of sulphur mixed with an equal guam
tity of pounded charcoal The amount
required is four pounds for each one
thousand cubic feet Of air Mix with
the sulphur and charcoal few pieces
of newspaper Before the sulphur is
lighted. all clothing and other articles
in the room should be so disposed of
as TO allow the fumes Of the sulphur
to come in contact with them to the
fullest extent The efficiency of the
fumgation is also very greatly in
creased by saturating the walls, and
everything the room contains, with
steam This may be very readily
done by boiling water vigorously upon
a stove in the room for an hour or two
previous to lighting the sulphur. Dry
sulphur fumes will destroy growing
germs. but not the dried spores which
may be collected upon walls and in
cracks and corners. When all is in
readiness, light the sulphur, and leave
the room as soon as 1t is evident that
it is going to burn well. If the door
of the room communicates with other
rooms, the crack around the door
: must be tightly closed by pasting
thick paper over it, The room must
be kept closed for twenty.four hours,
at the end OF which time 1t should be
opened, and left to air for another
twenty-four hours, when 1t NAL be
considered thoroughly disinfected.

SKIP THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR.
From Superstition This Number Ia
Jumped From IL to ID.

Tenants Of the big Office building
at A Broadway, New York, are not
called upon to face the danger Of a
thirteenth floor. There Is no such
unlucky location in the edifice, that
number having been jumped. The

fourteenth. f. Augustus Heinze, the
thorn of the Amalgamated Copper
Company, does not appear to have in
herited any superstitious traits. His
Office is 1913 on the thirteenth floor of

In his fight with the Amalgamated
Copper Company Heinze has been ex-
ceptionally fortunate. But the SUPER
stitious say he would have been
doubly fortunate If he had Joined
