FORBIDDEN TO USE SHARES
Enslishlnan Once Sought Aid of Law
for Protection Against Cum
ming Females.

That woman has been the same IN
all ages in her efforts to cnSnare the
UnsuspGcting male by artificial aids
is proved by an old English statute,
passed 236 years ago by parliament.
So far-reaching was the havoc
wrought among masculine hearts by
the devices of cunning females that
the men were forced to seek the pro
lection Of the law, as is shown by the
statute in question, which reads as
follows:
THAT all women, of whatever age,
rank, degree or profession, whether
virgins, maids Or widows, that shall
from and after the passing OF this
act impose upon and betray into mat
rimony any of his majesty's male sub
jects by scents, paints, cosmetics,
washes, artificial teeth, false hair
Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high
heeled shoes or bolstered hips, shall
incur the penalty Of the law now IN
force against witchcraft, sorcery and
such like misdemeanors, and that the
marriage, upon conviction, shall stanc
null and void"
Judging by the fOrceful wording
and the specification of minute de
tails, 1t seems that some of the mem
bers of parliament had been 'stung.

Solomon Neta, the prophet Of the
simple life in It's EXTREMIST sense, has
arrived In Paris in the hope of inter
esting prominent persons In his
scheme of founding a sanitarium in
the mountains where he would have
only children as his patients and
would bring them up to live purely
natural life. Neya lives on raw fruit
and vegetables, never touching eggs,
milk or butter or meat Of any kind
He does not even drink water and
bathes only about once a year, and
he believes that a daily rubbing down
with a towel is sufficient to keep the
body clean. He has a curious history
having once been in the Dutch con
sular service He lost fortune OF
300, 900 francs in an unsuccessful cot
fee plantation In Java and since then
has gone about the world in strange
garb, preaching his new doctrine.

have a range covering about II square
miles near the town of Oreana. which

danger of the fever, while the wolves
which attack the buffalo calves, may
be exterminated by allowing hunting

Health in Hot Weather.

Not much meat should be eaten in
hot weather; less food of any sort is
needed than IL winter. Food has two
functions; as fuel to sustain heat; as
energy to move the muscles. The ono
need is almost wholly and the other
largely suspended IN July. Alcoholic
drinks are Gcubly dangerous in hot
weather Iced weak tea is an excel
lent drink If one dips out the ice and
throws it away, allowing the liquid
to lose its chill. Iced water in fami-
lies-should be prepared by setting
sealed jars of water in the refrigera-
tor at a distance from the ice, never
by putting cracked ice in the goblets
A temperature Of 20 degrees is low
enough for drinking water. Extreme
fatigue should be avoided, but 1t is
not true that 'it doesn't pay to get
heated up going out of town" Young
children who both become Ill and re
cover more quickly than adults, are
often literally saved from death by a
single day IL cool air.

SOME SALAD DRESSINGS.
A Number Of Recipes That Should
Please People That Dislike the
Use of Olive Oil.

As ] have found some do not like
olive oil, which I hardly understand,
| give recipes for other dressings that
may be substituted: Stir together a
dessert spoonful dry mustard, half
teaspOonful salt and the same of Gel
cry salt, half as much white pepper
and a tablespoonful of butter; add
the yOiks of two eggs and beat well;
pour OYER this a cupful of rich, hot
milk and set over boiling water to
thicken, stirring all the time: lift at
once and cool, then add two table
I spC0nfuls of vinegar and set on ice
to chill. This is nice with any cab
bage salad, says Mrs. McLogan, in
| the St. Louis Globe.
Another cooked dressing is made
of the yolk of an egg, beaten, two tea
| spoOnfuls melted butter, pinch of
| cayenne, one of salt and one OF dry
ments together, ado the egg, beat
! hard and add a cup Of cream, the
| beaten white and lemon juice to
! taste; cook until thick in farina boil
er, stirring constantly.
| 4 dressing Of cream is liked with
| lettuce; it should be cold and sweet
! add a level teaspoonful of salt to
! half a cup in a small bowl, stir well
adding gradually two tablespoonfuls

fruit salads is made by beating the
yolks OF two eggs light, adding halt
a cup of powdered sugar and a pinch
Of salt. When the sugar is well dis
solved add the juice of a lemon
