An Extra Good Appetite.

1houoht They Were Real Steps.

There was one amusing incident at
the concert of Eugene Ysaye a few
nights ago that very few people in the
audience were aware Of In fact, il
was not until after the concert that
the real truth of the matter was
known. Everyone who has been in
the Academy of Music is familiar
with the drop curtain representing the
entrance of some sort of temple with
a lot of steps running back from the
stage-or, to identify it more perfect
ly. it is the curtain with the huge
word asbestos written across the cen
ter.
When Ysaye finished his first mum.
ber he walked toward this curtain,
halted. looked about and then walked
to the side and off. No one could ex'
plain this odd move until after the
concert and then the violinist con
fessed that he had glanced at the
painted steps and with his mind con
centrated on the applause of his audi
ence behind him had mistaken the
painted steps for real ones and it was
not until he had reached the curtain
that he realized his mistake.-Phila.

The girl emerged. smiling, from

came back presently. washed her

"Sister!" shouted a boyish voice
from the gallery. lend me another

She arose again and went out; and
Bess heard her talking merrily as she
tied the thread to the cord Danny

the hawks had been feeding on mice,

on poultry and small birds. We do

position that most sportsmen shoot
hawks when they find opportunity.
Uncle Sam concludes that the marsh

Then why shoot it down, as it fits
by, striving, in its own ancient and

Just as each of us is striving? We
counsel each sportsman to think the

Kansas City mother is a case in
point:

a child, and thought l could not eat
meal without it. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart.

chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born Z months ago, and almost from

sour stomach. She was taking it
from me!

OF more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk. / have since
ascertained that 1t really dries up the
milk.
so, l quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then l turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t

1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself. but it increased the flow
of my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum. quickly got

When that massive pile of ugliness
in til avenue is finished and Senator
CLARK takes up his residence there, his
young wife will have the most lux
urious bathroom in the world. 1t will
excel in its appointments the most
sumptuous baths of the early Romans.
and, beside it the bath of the modern
Oricntal-which is a good deal more
OF fable than fact-will pale into
insignificance. Onyx, alabaster and
the finest marble ever quarried enter
into its construction. There are show
ers and needles and plunges. and the
water will be filtered and will be as
pure and clear as crystal
But the one novelty Mrs. Clark will
possess which even Caesar did not en-
joy will be an ingenious arrangement
of tiny faucets from which rare per-
fumes may be drawn and the water i'm
pregnated with their sensuous odors.
She may bathe in softened water
which exhales the scent of the gera-
mum, or the violet or altar of roses.
The idea is a new one. and it is the
invention of a Pittsburg genius who
got carte blanche to design the most
luxurious and artistic bathroom in the
United States.

How to Earn souno Sleep.

All doctors are not so careful of
the welfare of their patients as they
might be. Here is story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie-
tor of famous health resort not far
from ---. When he receives pa
tient for treatment he says:
Now. want it understood that un-
less you do exactly as | say, there is
no use of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet
ter afford to offend a single patient
and lose him that to have that pa
tient go back home and tell his friends
DR.. So-and-So had done him no good,
relates the Washington Star.
Not long ago a well-known clergy
man went to this resort for treatment
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
While you are here you must take
long walks every day."
But can't take walks" replied
the parson. Il haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand

They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends. the latter was
more lenient than usual However.
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
IT'S a nice day. I would like you
to go horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. When they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: ''Oh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road

The following abstracts from an ar
ticle by ]. E. Stubbert, NJ. D., in the
Medical Record. should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt IL
these ideas could be carried out. the
white plague" would he robbed of
much of its terror:
In ancient times 1t was highly i'm
proper to expose tuborculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage. to a breath of fresh air except
on the mildest days in summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more observ-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the hot-house
patients, and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as a prophylactic as well as cure
for those in the early stages of con-
sumption. Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when it was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
kept indoors in warm, ill-ventilated
rooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
the victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure. fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
in the open air is not harmful to
large majority of tuberculous people.
Millet. of Brockton. Mass, reports
the cases of five patients whom he
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night. They were allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts. sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. I'm
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared. temperatures be-
came normal, respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampness and
drafts. and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on ver-
anda or in a tent where there is
free circulation of air on all sides. If
patient were fortunate enough TO
have a large room with a southern ex-
posure and containing one or two
open fireplaces, in addition to large
windows on three sides, which might
be opened at night. he might derive
approximately the benefit incident to
tent life.
