Reason Why Scoochman Did Not Have
Demijohn of Whisky.
Miss Elizabeth Marbury of the board
Of governors of New Yorks woman's
club, the Colony, was discussing the
question of the clubs liquor license.
'It is rather a matter of Indifference
to u.s." she said, whether we get a
license or not, Women, you know
are not given to drinking. They are
Joo careful of their appearance. They
desire to remain slim and fresh, and
wine tends to make us coarse and
stale and fat

There are two systems in raising
poultry. One is the colony plan and
the other is the apartment house plan
shown in this article. The first plan
is that of long continuous house in
use at the White Leghorn Poultry
yards, in New York state. 1t is ESQ
feet long by 16 feet wide and seven
feet high at the caves. Along the
north side is four-foot passageway,
which is separated from the pens by
a matched board partition. The house,
exclusive of the passageway, is di-
vided into 20 pens IL by IL feet and
a feed room 10 by II feet. A door
opens from the passageway into each
pen, and there is also door in each
partition between the pens. These
partitions consist largely of wire net
ting, but all are boarded up to a
height of two and one-half feet from
the floor, in order that males in the
adjoining pens may not fight through
the wire, and thus injure each other.
Several of the partitions in the house

Perfectly Cooked,
Ready TO Serve,
Delicious and Healthful

"The ordinary breakfast cereal
cooked a few minutes in half-hearted
way will in time weaken the stomach
of anything short of an OK.
amy preparation Of wheat or oats
put into water that is below the boil
ing point and cooked as mush is usu'
ally served, remains a pasty, indi'
gestible mass. The cells are tough
and unopened. In addition, the stom'
ach of a person sensitively constituted
refuses to do anything with the pasty
mass. It is sent into the second Stom-
ach. the Duodenum, where in conse-
uuence of the long time of the first
process of digestion, is fermented and
soured. AS an eminent medical man
pertinently states, the stomachs of half
the people going about the streets are
about in the condition of an old vim
egar barrel.
Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct
consequence Of such feediro"
knowledge of these facts and a wide
experience in the preparation and use
of cereals brought out the product
known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured
with special reference to having the
heterogeneous and starchy parts of the
grains, of which the food is composed,
perfectly and scientifically cooked at
the factory, ready for immediate use
and therefore not subject to the ma
nipulations of any cook, good or bad.
The starch of the grains, changed to
grape-sugar, can be seen glistenlng on
the little granules, and gives forth
delicate sweetish taste, very palatable.
Children and adults obtain fine re-
suits from the use of Grape-Nuts food.
1t is so perfectly adapted to the wants
of the human body and so easily di-
gested that many cases are on record
of nursing babes being fed very sue
cessfully on it. There's Reason"

lions are used between the pens to

The chief point about this house is
that only two cloth curtains are be-
tween the birds and the night air, it
being located in a cold climate where
the mercury often falls considerably
below zero in winter. The floor is
covered to the depth of six or eight
inches with straw, and some grain
scattered in the litter early in the
morning induces the birds to exercise
as soon as they leave the roost. 1t
would be unwise to open the curtains
of the roosting pen and let the birds
into the cold atmosphere of the room
without some inducement to work

There seems to be a fashion in poses
as well as in clothes, for pictures go
in cycles and actresses of a certain
period all affect the same kind of pos
lures when they face the camera.
For time they went to the statu-
esque, the tall commanding figure,
with the long train draped around it,
being a favorite for quite a spell.
But now the dress has been put
away with the crinoline and the big
sleeves, and all the actress now asks
when she faces the photographer is a
position that will put her feet and
ankles in quite as prominent view as
her face
In fact, in some pictures the slip
pers and stockings quite Overmatch
the face in the Importance they take
In composing the picture.
The big hit now is posing with the
legs crossed.
Once such a picture would have
scored an absolute and ignominious
fiasco. Not so long ago, no woman
thought it good manners to sit that
way and as for having such posture
presented in q picture, she would have
resented the mere suggestion.
But woman, perhaps out of her nine
teenth century craze for initiating
man, has discovered that this is COM
Portable and restful position, and she
is not only adopting it for the home
and stage use, but is using it as the
ideal position in which to have pic
ture taken.
Just who set the fad nobody knows,
perhaps it was Fanny Ward, who long
before she became the Princess Chi
may, and a figure in scandal of
worldwide dimensions, had herself
pictured as Cupid, and a dainty and
charming picture she made, too.
But the idea did not at once catch
on, for even on the stage, much abused
as it is, a certain reserve exists, and
the actress hesitates to do that which
she thinks will offend the public.
But now the picture which shows
the dainty skirts, the we'll turned
ankle and rounded calf concealed in
the glory of pair of French stock
ings, is a genuine hit, and every beau
IT, is Fastening to have this kind Of a
photograph taken.
A celebrated beauty who gained
fame in the recent Thaw case, May
Mckenzie, friend of the young wife of
the man who killed Stanford White, is
given credit by some for causing the
fad.
9 It is said that she first posed for
this picture under the direction of the
architect, who had a great eye for the
beautiful, and knew instinctively what
would look we'll, either in painting or
photograph.
It was not long before she had a
host of followers, among who was
Lolita Faust, the bewitching singer,
who made such hit with the famous
Sammy" afterward burlesqued with
such success by Fay TempletOn.
Anna Held's reputation for sur
rounding herself with beautiful women
is well known. The French actress
has never been afraid to test compari-
son by hiring for her support the most
stunning show girls she could get.
Thus the chorus in Madame NapO-
leon" and in THE Partisan Model
makes a sensation One of the most
beautiful of the bevy of charmers in
the latter production was Dorothy
