Handy Continuance.

One may have dozens of hooks in a
closet, yet they will not take the place
of one long curtain rod placed we'll
back in the closets where skirts can
be hung. The skirt hangers with large
hooks must be used and dozens of
skirts can be hung on this pole and
take up so little room that it is re-
markable that the idea is so late in
making it's arrival. Then If the hooks
are placed closely together in neat
rows, instead of here, there and every
where, the waists can be placed on
neat little paper hangers and hung in
orderly rows, and 1t does not mean
hanging several waists on one hook to
be overtopped with a petticoat or
bolero jacket, all to be taken down
when the lower waist is needed. If
women learned to properly place
hooks in the clothes presses and ward
robes there would be less demand for
more dress room.

Sable, mink and sealskin are the

furs, such as the three choice varie-
ties above mentioned, will be. Stitched
bands of cloth are to be used to define
seams which heretofore were prefer
ably left underlined, and silk braids of
a close, fine mesh, will be employed
for the same purpose in connection
with soutache and lace ornamental
fastenings.
Wide revers Of sable or fox will be
used for the squirrel-lined tweed
coats, and these, being usually meant
for practical warmth, are provided
with big storm collars, also lined with
fur. Scotch tweeds for motoring and
long cloth pedestrian cloaks will also
have fur in this way about the neck.

Take Sewing Easily.

The sewing in many housesolds is
left, like the housekeeping, for a
general disturbance of happiness,
comfort, and health when, If a little
system were used, the burden would
be lighter. For instance, every house
needs napkins, table cloths, pillow
cases, washrags and towels. The
peaceful method Is to secure these
long before they are actually needed,
and do the sewing at odd times. Cut
carefully by the thread the twelve
napkins, folding each one in clean It's
sue paper. Then when time lags.
sew a napkin-ditto tablecloth. In
like n tear from the muslin

hands are idle, oyerseam the sides

can be done while conversing with a
friend. Put in fifteen minutes at the
machine finishing them, and you HARD.

For many weeks the irritable mer-

typhoid fever. Now he was conva

to eat, declaring that he was starv-

Tomorrow you may have some
thing to eat" promised the doctor.
The merchant realized that there
would be a restraint to his appetite,
yet he saw, In vision, a modest, steam
ing meal placed at his bedside.

BetItnu a Rat.

You have probably read OF heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling Of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore 1t
raj constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead Of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu.
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night

Starchy food Is not digested in the
upper stomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in a healthy individ-
ual, the transformation Of the starch
into a form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But II the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture of
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces I'M
til under such conditions the whole
lower part of the ~alimentary canal, in
GLIDING the colon and the appendix,
becomes involved. Disease sets up
and at times takes the form known as
appendicitis.
When the symptoms Of the trouble
make their appearance, would 1t not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food
In which the starch has been trans
formed into a form Of sugar in the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form Of
sugar found in the human body after
oSolNh q OCCn pCIlcCIly ulsc6I6u.
Now, human food Is made up very

Naturally, therefore. its use should be
continued, If possible, and for the rea-
sons given above 1t is made possible

In connection with this change OF
food to bring relief from physical dis
~turbances, we have suggested washing
out the intestines to get rid of the i'm
mediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where the
disease has lain dormant and the
abuse continued too long, until ap-
parently only the knife will avail. But
1t is a well-established fact among the
best physicians who arc acquainted
with the details above recited, that
preventative measures are far and
away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest
Ing a way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting a food that contains no "medi-
cine" and produces no medicinal ef-
fects" but which has guided literally
thousands of persons from sickness to
health? We have received during the
years past upwards of $4,000 letters
from people who have been either
helped or made entirely we'll by fol-
lowing our suggestions, and they are

A Definition Of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien|
lists and the opponents of unbelieI
benefited themselves or humanity al
large by sowing the seeds Of doub|
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entlsts do not fall in this category, fo{
they are believers in the real sense Of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations Of the Divine creative pow
er. Now, those who have disposed Of
the Bible and all evidences of inspiraI
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac'
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success meant the benefit Of human
ity in some form or other. II no such
benefits can be shown as the result OF
their labors, their success is not equal
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - joe

"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor Of Divinity, nov Editor Of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press of the Country and 9TH
ers, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon it's
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
1.-THE religious Press owes you a
debt Of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
lier's has finally run against a solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune Of
$3.50, 1000. co."
Here is a publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
90 uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts it's rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back a dose of its own medicine"
1T is a mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
a spanked baby and wants $3.50, 100000
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings."
Thank Heaven 1t has at last struck
q man with back bone" enough to call
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in u Office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data, news
paper comments, etc., denouncing the
yellow" methods Of Golfers. This
volume Is so large that a man could
not we'll go thru 1t under half a days
steady work. The letters come from
various parts of America.
Usually a private controversy is not
interesting to- the public, but this Is a
public controversy.
Golfers has been using the yellow"
methods to attract attention to itself,
but, jumping In the air, cracking heels
together and yelling Look at me-
wouldn't suffice, so 1t started out on a
"Holier Than Thou" attack on the Re-
ligious Press and on medicine.
We leave 1t to the public now, as we
did when we first resented Golfers
attacks, to say whether, in a craving
for sensation and circulation, It's at
tacks do not amount to a systematic
m%ercenary bounding. We likewise
