An unfortunate thing happened to
Aunt Rhinocolura Betz of Betzville,
and for some time she had to tempo
rarily retire from the best Betzville
society, in which she is accustomed to
mingle freely. Six months ago Aunt
Rhinocolura began taking the new
thought absent treatment from beau
ty doctor at Philadelphia, and the
waves arrived at her home every
Thursday at 10 a. m. Although long
a leader of Betzville society, Aunt
Rhinocolura's nose has been thorn
In her side, so to speak, on account
of it's very pugginess. Experts in
noses have remarked, in passing
through our village, that Aunt Rhino-
colura's nose was the limit. 1t was SO
short and stubby, with a sway-backed
bridge, and a tilt toward higher and
better things. For many years Aunt
Rhinocolura intended seeing beauty
doctor about it, but kept putting it
off until she received the circular
from the Philadelphia man, who
claimed to be able TO beautify at
long range. Although not having much
faith she decided to try him.
For several treatments she did not
seem to notice that the thought waves
were having any effect on her nose,
but she decided to be patient, know
ing 1t was an extreme case, her nose
having become chronic, as the doctors
say, and tough, but she did what she

not been begun. The department of
agriculture secured the use of this
land as an experimental farm. The
growth of the willow trees probably
suggested the utility of promoting
willowcraft in the United States and
cuttings from many species of willows

ONGRESS will have it's hands full
- at the next session. The particu-
lar matter which will be agitated will
probably not disrupt the union, al
though it has been the subject of con-
tention since the states got together.
It all came about through an in
cipient instruction on the part of
citizens of the District of Columbia.
They got up dinner at the New Will
lard hotel in Washington and invited
President Taft. Then they sprung 1t
on" him that they wanted representa-
ton in the government; wanted rep
resentation on the floor of the house
and senate; wanted voice in elect
ing the president and few other lit
tie things.
President Taft told them that If
they wanted little things like that
they ought not to crowd their de-
mands into social affairs. He sug-
gested that it would be more to their
credit If they started a movement to
get back the slice of the original Dis
trict of Columbia, which a too gen.
'erous congress had given back to the
state Of Virginia.
The citizens of the district jumped
at the opportunity. They welcomed It.
It was more entertaining than semi
political campaign. It would be more

Employees to Found 'Bungalow Town"

QUESTION Of property Is in itself con-
siderable of an innovation in Wash
ington, but by far the most novel
feature of the proposition lies In the
building restrictions" In majority
of the newer suburbs assurance is
given to the purchaser of each lot
that the character of the section will
always be maintained by the writing
of covenant into his deed that each
house built in the vicinity shall cost
not less than a stated number of
thousands of dollars. In bungalow
Town" this proposition will be exactly
reversed, for it will be specifically
provided that no bungalow shall cost
in excess Of $1,000. This will reduce
the maximum expenditure Of each
property holder to $4,000, because 1t
will be provided In the original subdi-
vision that each bungalow must be
surrounded by one acre of ground.
Subsequently it will be permissible to
further subdivide and build additional
bungalows. although at no time will
the projectors of the enterprise permit
a house to stand upon less than one
half acre of ground.
bungalow Town" will make its
nearest imitation to a sociological COL
ony In it's purchases of supplies of
all sorts from the outside world. In
the first place there will be co-opera-
ton In buying the land and then there
will be determined effort to save ex-
pense in building by the letting Of
contracts to build the little homes in
blocks of two or more to each con-
tract. When bungalow Town" is set
tied it is proposed that the women
folk shall join in the formation of a
central purchasing committee so that
all forms of food stuffs and supplies
may be secured at wholesale rates.

Only Cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth of
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called cures" for con-

daily. Hundreds of quack doctors"

suit that thousands Of dupes are year.
ly cheated out of their lives as we'll
as their money. Besides these, cures"
and medicines of all sorts, numbering
now several hundred, are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these Institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump-
ton is fresh air, rest and wholesome
food.

that as soon as the treatment began
the warts began to grow, until they
were so long he had to braid them
and do them up in coil to keep from
stepping on them. He said he hoped
1t was part of the cure, but that If
they got much longer he would write
to the man. He said no man could ex-
pect to remain indolent while his
warts were rapidly gaining the two
yard post.
BY that time Aunt Rhinocolura' s
nose had shrunk until it was mere
Renaissance, and she persuaded
Cousin Gildad that they ought to write
to the beauty doctor, SO they did.
Come to find out. the Office help had
got the two Betz names mixed, and
had entered them wrong on the card
system, and the doctor had been Civ
ing Cousin Gildad growing treat
ment for his warts and Aunt Rhinoco-
lura an effacing treatment for her
nose.
But the doctor was most accommo-
dating man, and he wrote that, al
though their course of treatment had
expired in both cases, he would give
them a postgraduate course at only
half price. So the next Thursday at
10 a. m. he began. and at 1915 Aunt
Rhinocolura had enough nose to see
with microscope, but it was still
more Of dent than bump. And the
next Wednesday at AIS p. M Cousin
Gildad measured his warts and found
they had shrunk an inch. So he kept
on with the treatment until his warts
were all gone, but the very minute
Aunt Rhinocolura found her nose back
to it's old size and specifications she
turned her nose away from Philadel-

miles behind young fin-back whale
near Port Angeles.
The houseboat was erected on a
float made of eight logs, each 80 feet
long and fully foot thick. The boat
was securely anchored in little cove
by two heavy cables. To prevent its
breaking away in case of storm
chains were hung from the logs to an
chors buried in the sandy beach.
1t is believed the whale was playing
at night in the cove and, coming
up under the float, became tangled in
the loose anchor chains. Unable to
free himself, the big fish set the heavy
float careening until the cables parted.
A little after sunrise fishermen saw
the float and the houseboat swaying
as If it were by an earthquake. Then

and followed at full speed.
About twenty miles out in the strait
of Juan de Fuca the float came to a
standstill. The fishermen soon came
up and rescued Greenleaf and his

The whale, barely thirty feet long,
had become pinched between two logs
and was dead.
