New York, Sept. 12,-American
cooking is held in such high esteem
by the Crown Princess Cecilie OF
Germany that she has sent her chef
here to study it's mysteries. Albert
Neumann Is the chef, and he was a
passenger on the Kronprinzessin Ce-

Pies and cakes will receive espe-
cial attention. He has also heard
chat buckwheat cakes and fapjacks

breakfast dishes. Above all, the
wizard of the saucepans wishes to
inform himself thoroughly on all the
American methods of preparing oys-
ters and CLANS. Oysters he can get
on the other side. but IL clans are
served they will have TO be brought
from New York markets.
Chicken la Maryland is an old
story with him. He knows all about
that, and also that 1t Is appropriate
ly served with green corn cakes -
but he Is willing to take under adj

CURvELESS FIGURE
NOW the FASHION
ELIZABETH A. G.. WHITE Is ALL
FOR THE TOOTHPICK FIGURE

New York. Sept I2.-The Even
ing Mail says:
Here's the reason hips must go:
It's to put a stop to the "immor-
atty resulting from the curves OF
the feminine form"
Miss Elizabeth A. c. White. pres
ident of the Dressmal<ers' Protective
Association. which Is holding it's
sixty-frst convention at Masonic
Temple. let out the secret yesterday
"One OF the chief reasons for
holding this convention" said Miss
White. is to further morality by
doing away with suggestive figures
in women. No doubt the new fashion
will seem a little strange. but II is
the only way to put an end to temp
tation."
DO you think that curves have a
demoralizing effect on young men?"
DO /? Well you can bet your
gold-bowed spectacles do. Look
at me. am a woman Of expert
ence. have been all over the
world and know. Young men are
led to fall from grace by the figures
that women have been affecting for
the last few years 1t Is only human
nature and the women are to blame.
More than half the wrong would
be eradicated If all women would
adopt the new mode OF dress. Look
at your crime waves. They have
1 been caused largely by the exaeger-
/ ated immodesty of women's dress.
Why, my boy If we hadn't come here
with this reform in dress i'm five
years the country would have been
undermined. II would have been de-
moralized. A woman might as we'll
wear no clothes at all as to go about
IN those tight fitting. serpentine eff
fects that were all the rage last sea-
son"
DO YOU think that the new style
OF straight gowns and toothplck fig-
ure' will be as beautiful as those
with graceful curves?"
oh, yes. They will seem funny
at first but they will be modest and
decent, and thing can't be beauti-
ful' in my opinion. If It is indecent.
The great trouble will be to get all
me women to adopt the new style
but when they see that it is to save
he community from moral ruin they
VIII come around.
PADS will be a thing of the past
The barndoor effects that women =
backs have had on account of ex-
treme lacing and big pads will dis
appear. The busts will be as COM
pressed and straight as the hips
There will be no more Of that
sloppy webbing when women walk
either We are going back to the
wears Of the past. when people had
some modesty and respect for them
selves. The new dresses will much
resemble the colonial costumes.

Liquor Laws in Norway.

New Norwegian liquor laws are sue
cessful. The Sondag system gives
power to municipalities tOgrant all the
retail spirit licenses which they deem
necessary to company which would
bind itself to carry on the traffic in the
interests of the community, with q
fixed annual return uf not more than {
per cent. on its paid-up capital.
In establishing tie system the ques>
tlon of compensation does not appear
to have presented much difficulty. The
allotments of the profits are as follows
To the state, 65 per cent; to the mu-
nicipality, in lieu of large license du.
ties, now abolished, Is per cent, and
to objects of public utility operating
as counter attractions to the public
houses. in towns 10 per cent. and In the
surrounding districts 10 per cent.
The profits of the trade under these
restrictions haye contributed 81, 600, ,OOO
for objects of public interest since the
founding Of the system. During the
last eight years the proportion accru
ing to the state has been increased and
set apart till 1910 to form the nucleus
of an old-age pension fund. which now
amounts to So 800 900 The most re
markable fact in the history of Nor
way sobriety is that the consumption
of alcohol per inhabitant has decreased
about As per cent. in the last fifty
years. The decrease has been most
marked since the establishment of the
SOndag system.
The aims and principles Of the Son.
dag system are these: The elimination
of private profit and securing the mo-
nopoly value for the public, insurlne
highest quality of liquors sold, the re
duction of the number of the licenses,
the easy enforcement of the law, the
distinctions of the power of the spirit
trade and the furtherance of all pro
gsessive measures of reform --Chicagt

Making Artificial Nutmeg.

According to Fuer Allie Welt, there
are made in Belgium artificial nut.
megs in SO clever manner that they
can hardly be distinguished from gen.
uine ones, especially if mixed with
the latter. A chemical analysis has
shown them to consist of mixture OF
finely powdered nutmeg (from extract
ed or injured kernels and about 20 per
cent. OF mineral substances. The fol-
lowing means Of detection are recon-
mended: l. When the kernels are cut
well known plant like structure 30
characteristic 10 genuine nutmeg IS
absent. If the kernels are treated
for three or four minutes with boiling
water they become soft, and can be
rubbed up into a powder with the
fingers. 3 Upon being burnt they
leave about IS per cent. of ashes, while
true nutmeg contains but to 3 per
cent. T. The imitation nuts are gem
orally much heavier than the genuine
articles.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent fnedica chemists
are unanimous in the conclusion that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life ID many years below the
attainment possible with tue advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed. The critical period, that
determines its duration; seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters, the

lies every organ of the body. Guarar.

Comforting Words.

MANY A STAUNTON HOUSEHOLD WILL

back removed; to be entirely free from
annoying. dangerous urinary disorders
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. To tell how this great change

was subject to attacks of backache.
While these spells lasted l could only
sit still short time, for the aching at
such times became almost unbearable.
If made any sudden movement felt
sharp pains in my back and in the
morning when l arose felt lame and
sore and for while was hardly able
to get around. Nothing helped me
until l procured DoaD's Kidney Pills.

Wireless Message on Atlantic Coast
Received in California.

Not long ago, A. J. Millison, the
operator at the wireless telegrah sta
tlon on Point Iona, In Southern Cal
lfornia, observed his apparatus inter.
cepting a message. On Investigation
he ascertained that a message was be
ing sent from Washington, ID. c., to
Pensacola, Fla. He adjusted his in
strumeuts. which are the most delicate
used by the United States government
and caught Jhe whole message. At
| about the same time part of message
to the 5attleship Connecticut from
Washington was clearly read on the
! instruments at Point Iona.
Highly gratified. the operator sent
messages TO the Atlantic coast, and
received answers from the operators
at Washington and Pensacola Later
he wrote out copies of the messages
that he intercepted on the Atlantic
coast and sent them, with letters, to
the operators there.
The distance from Pensacola to San
Diego in an air line is about 800
miles, and from Washington to San
Diego is about 2 400 miles. The matter
has been reported to Commander II.
G. Gearing, Chief of the Equipment
Department st Mare Island navy yard,
California. The messages sent by the
operator at Point Iona to Washington
were only family recorded on the in.
strumeDts, but the messages between
Washington and Florida and part of
a message from Washington to the
battleship Connecticut, 600 miles out
in the Atlantic ocean, were recorded
clearly. The new apparatus is partly
the invention of Mr. Mili,son, and has
been installed in the Point Iona sta
tion only a few months. Some time
ago the Point Iona operator succeed
ed in communicating with Tacoma,

ANOTHER ROAD TO THE LAKES.

ANOTHER ROAD TO THE LAKES
Thomas Fortune Ryan and his assO-
ciates in the world of finance have on
foot plan to make the Seaboard Air
Line the greatest coal carrying road
In the country, by opening up an enor-
nous coal field in Virginia and con-
Meeting it with the SeabOard Air Line
by means of 200 mile railway line, now
being built and known as the Sou b
and Western Railway.
The road which now has its terminus
IN Russell county, Va.,. being pushed
rapidly, is already half finished and
will cost when completed to Marion,
N. c., $50, 900. 900, for the question of
expense has not entered into the plans
of the financiers who are behind the
movement
The millionaire coal field which Is
practically inexhaustible, was purchas-
ed by the Ryan syndicate through Mr..
Carter from the estate of Mr.. Dale Care
ter, of Virginia, from the Interstate
Coal Company, from John II. Inman.
of New York; the Clydes of Philadel-
phia, and from the native landowners
of Russell and Dickinson counties.
The plan has been kept secret for stwo
years, Mr.. Ryan's and Mr.. Blair s
n ,mes not having being connected with
the deal.
The present plan is only the begin
ming of the Clinchfield Company
scheme, for, the connection with the
Seaboard Air Line being completed, it
is the purpose of Mr.. Ryan to extend
the road north to the Great Lakes by
way of the Ohio River, where it will
connect with the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton Railway. known as the Zlm-
merman Route, which is controlled by
tbs Ryan interests This is the road
which threatened two years ago to en-
ter the coal fields controlled by the
lChesapeake and Ohio Railway, by
building a bridge across the Ohio Riv.
er, thus operating short route to the
Great Lakes The plan was frustrat
ed by Zimmerman lack of funds and
the road went into the hands of J.
Plerpont Morgan, who passed it on to
Mr Ryan.
