FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN
How a Hat Is Sized.

@. writes that the size Of nat Is
calculated on curious principle. II
is the length plus the breadth divided
by 2. Thus head siK inches long and
5A inches broad would require a hat
size Of 141a divided by 2, which is ~
-Gladstone's size.
Your correspondent @. is perfectly
right In his description of the curious
way In which the size of hat Is OBJ
tanned, writes G., but his sample di-
mensions are slightly misleading. Such
an "oval" as SA inches by 534 inches
would scarcely be met with twice in
lifetime. The normal difference be-
tween the length and width technical
ly called the "oval") is invariably
through the gamut of sizes ~ inches.
Thus an ordinary 6A hat would meas
ure ~ inches long and @ inches wide
and IA -four sizes bigger inches
long and 6l2 inches wide. The longest
head l have measured in many thou
sands was SIS by rs, which is the
equivalent Of 2&i inch oval. Needless
to say, the inside Of the hat was the
shape of canalboat. Manchester

Il Did Not Work.

Mrs. Billings was installing the new
cook, a maiden from Finland, to whom
the kitchen contrivances Of America
were new and wonderful. This, Ina"
said the lady, indicating a perforated
wooden board that hung against the
kitchen wall, "is the order list See, 1t
says butter, eggs, sugar, coffee, tea,
molasses'-everything that we need to
eat. Whenever we are out of any of
these things all you need to do is to
place one Of these little pegs In the
hole opposite the name and the things
will be ordered"
Mrs. Billings Is not methodical
housekeeper. There were several con-
secutive days when she completely for
got the existence Of the order list in
the kitchen, but Ina labored with 1t
faithfully.

CONSULAR OFFICERS
The Names of the Officials Should
Not Be Used.

With the many changes now oc-
curing in the consular service the
following from Consul Isaac A. Man.
ming, at Cartagena. is timely: ,
The habit of American business
concerns in addressing correspond
ence of a commercial character to
consular officers in their own names
makes 1t impossible for a new occu-
pant of post to distinguish between
letters of a personal and letters of n
public character which may come ad-
dressed to his predecessor. If the
letters are of a personal nature. his
successor does not desire to open
them. II they are of a public char
acier and are forwarded to the for
mer consul at his new location, he is
put to to the unnecessary and some-
times burdensome expense of repay
ing postage thereon at the rate Of 5
to 10 cents per half ounce on letters
which interest him not at'all in his
new station.
This also means delay in the cor
and oftentimes loss Of
the letter. Commercial houses should
all mail simply American
Consul General" american Consul"
ETC., or in case of using the name Of
the consul, stamp or write the words
Official character" on all mail.

GALL STONES ARE
WORTH MONEY
JAPANESE PAY WELL
FOR THEM AS MEDICINE
Consul General Miller Points Out
Neglected Source OF Wealth Within
Their "Mldst'-Hlnts TO Producers
Don't Let Your Surgeon Keep
Them.

Oregonlan News Bureau, Washing
ton, July 24.-If you are suffering
from gallstones, cheer up. You may
not know 1t, but you have riches in
your midst. The cheering word comes
from far-away Japan that gallstones
so Stunned by Americans, possess
great value In the Mikado's land
when they can be purchased in the
market. If you have gallstones, let
them fully develop, undergo an oper-
alton, and insist that your surgeon
turn over to you every stone he ex-
tracts, and, when you are able, ship
them to Japan. In due course you
will get your return in gold.
The discovery that gallstones had a
commercial value was made by Con-
sui General Henry B. Miller of Port
land, Ore, now stationed at Yoko-
hama. In discussing his new discov-
cry and pointing the way to the for
nation Of a gladstone trust. Consul
Miller, in a report to the department
OF commerce and labor, says:
"Gallstones are much in favor in
this country as a medicine, 1t being
commonly believed that they possess
efflcaclous properties when used in
the treatment of diseases oS children.
They are classified on the market, to
distinguish their origin, as Oriental
and Occidental, the former being sup
posed to possess the greater virtue,
and, in consequence, being of greater
value. though the latter also finds a
ready sale at a slightly lower figure.
THE value of the article varies ac-
cording to its quality, size and color.
The larger the size and brighter the
color, the greater the market value.
Broken or cracked stones are only
worth half as much as perfect ones.
The minimum price for good, mar
ketable stock and the lowest valua-
tion at which the custom house Off
cials here will pass the invoice is 20
yen. or 20 in gold, a pound avoirdu-
pols. From this figure the price runs
UP. according to quality.
"a small lot, IL properly packed.
can be sent by parcels post. To in
sure safe arrival, each stone should
be separately wrapped in cotton wool
and packed neither loosely nor tight
ly, but firmly in a substantial wooden
or tin box. A convenient sized box,
We find, runs about 2kx3x5 inches.
Insurance ought to be effected at the
time of shipment. and it might be
we'll to register the package"

Washington. May 6.-By an over whelming vote of 167 to 46, and follow ing two hours of debate the house again went on record against the re- establishment of the canteen in na- tionai soldiers homes.

No black hulled navies of other nations can ever match the won drous impression the white ships of the Atlantic fleet have created at home and abroad.
 San Francisco. Oakland. and other cities nearby all took a holiday to wit ness the coming of the fleet. There was a complete cessation of business and the streets of the downtown sec tions were absolutely deserted. Banks and business houses were closed for the day and everybody flocked to the hillsides overlooking the gateway to the harbor More people came into the city last night and this morning than left during the terror of the homeless days following the fire. To- night the city is gay with merry mak- ms anu talC AoliS pioSi eAii oA NiibNA tainments planned in honor of the fleet is well under way. Streets and buildings are illuminated.
 Officials dinners, band concerts. a reception and ball at the FairmOnt ho- tel with five thousand invited guests were features of the first evening of the fleets stay.
 The fleet threaded it's way through the crowded harbor. past the islands ferry lane. reaching far over to the Oakland shore and turned at last when opposite Hunters Point, pointing to- ward the Golden Gate in the face of the incoming tide and steamed slowly into anchorage formation. The battle ships having the right of the line. were flrst to let anchors go. .Iiie si1ttSsfi veterans of the Atlantic cruise aug mented by the batueHhips recruited here for the remainder 8f the trip around the worid-the Nebraska and Wisconsin-occupy the two inside lines. Four columns of ships are now in the harbor.
