five millions, in cluding one and half
millions operated by connecting com
panies: the wire mileage OF the Bell
companies has been increased to over
ten million miles, the traffic has in
creased to nearly twenty million con-
nections day, amounting 70 six and

Noisy Nuisances.

Ill-fitting doors and windows rep
resent a happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact, so annoying
does the constant rattle of these open
ings become that many determined in
dividuals, who resolve to admit the
fresh air, choose the lesser of two
evils and close the openings in prefer
ence to sleepless nights. This can be
remedied if a small wedge of wood
be driven in at the side of an open
window; a door can be prevented
from rafting if pad or strip of thick
felt be nailed on the edge of the door.
The annoyance of creaking drawers
can be eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top, sides and bottom of
each.
Creaking hinges on anything should
be well oiled, while the grating, irri-
tating noise of sewing machine can
be overcome in a similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa
tience that is required for other
things 1t were foolish to dissipate
energy through the channels of irri-
tated nerves when a little time will
obviate the nuisances.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

my little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts OF
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got cake OF
Cuticura Soap and a box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. l can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. l used only one cake OF
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.

to take the land between the Union

park will be for the benefit of the

WILEY DISCUSSES SERVANTS
Make Bad Bread and Cause Bad
American Stomachs, Says Gov
ernment Chemist.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley branched out
a few nights ago as an expert on the
servant problem and incidentally
raped American bread and American
bread making as one of the con-
tributing causes of bad American
stomachs. He spoke before the
Housekeepers' Alliance at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Appleton p. Clark, in
Washington.
"The chief reason for the trouble
experienced in getting good servants"
said Doctor Wiley, sis the fact that
society in this country has not crystal
lized into more or less defined social
strata as in Europe. Here all aspire
to rise above menial duties. and
there is practically no servant class
to draw from. What does exist is
among the failures and immigrants"
A second factor was the problem of
bread making, Doctor Wiley said, and
still another the adulteration of food
products, including flour and other
materials used in making the staple
of life.
american bread" he continued, "as
it is consumed by the general public
is the worst imaginable thing of its
kind. practically uncooked and unfer-
mented when it is presumed to be
ready for consumption. The so-called
bakers bread is made of third-rate
flour, or that part of flour remaining
after the best part of it has been ex-
tracted to be sold as the patent pro-
duct. This remnant is chemicalized
and otherwise 'doctored' to an alarm
ing extent"
Mrs. Ellen Marshall Rugg, president
of the alliance, announced that the
alliance members were considering
plan of accommodating data, such as the
health, appearance, habits and char
acter of present and past servants
coming under their observation. The
information so gathered will be used
in classifying servants in grades for
future reference.

TAFT THE HANDSoMEST MAN
Sculptor Declares President Has More
Force Than Roosevelt II Crisis
Should Demand.

81 believe the president is the hand
soonest man in public life." said Rob
ert |. Aitkin, the sculptor, who has
been in Washington to make model
for bust of the chief executive for
the artists fair fund. Mr.. Aitkin is
proud of the wax figure which he has
made and which is the first bust of
President Taft and also the only one
modelled entirely on the presidents
private desk at the White House. The
bust was made while the president
was working, and Mr.. Aitkin invented
collapsible box which enabled him
to let the model down on any part of
the desk, so that he might view the
president from any position as he at
tended to his official duties. Mr..
Aitkin says:
Some people will say he is too
heavy, but after you have been with
him a few minutes you forget his
weight entirely. He impresses you
merely as big man. You are only
aware of the firmness of his face and
the counterbalancing firmness of his
features.
men who called upon him daily, par
ticularly the cabinet officers. the sena-
tors and representatives, and | found
none that compared with his.
Mr. Taft is very difficult man to
model. 1t is SO easy to burlesque and
caricature him, without producing the
real man. His forehead and eyebrows,
with the little sag above the eyes, is
full OF force and determination. He
has the prominent bulges that denote
perception. The tremendous power
latent in these characteristics is not
hard to express in marble.
The difficulty comes in showing the
gentleness of his eyes. They are eyes
of great depth and of unusual kind
ness and candor. Yet it was his eyes
that convinced me he had even more
force than Roosevelt, were he ever
called upon to show 1t at a crisis"
The manner in which the artist did
the modelling is really interesting.
THE president" he says, sat on one
side of the long desk, with his back
to the light from the four windows,
and his secretary, Mr.. Carpenter, op-
posite. The light was bad handicap,
and l was forced to work from every
angle of the desk. Often Mr.. Carpen-
ter gave up his seat that l might get
better view, but in general the work
of the office went on as if l were not
there.
The necessity of adjusting the po-
sition of the wax to the position of the
presidents face, instead of adjusting
the subjects face to the position of
the model, was another handicap, but
this was overcome by a simple mech
anism which allowed me to tilt and
slant the model whenever the presi-
dent changed the position of his head.
The result was that I practically had
a continuous sitting for six days while
the president went on with his office
routine. debating, receiving callers
and comforting, without giving much
time to the usual posing"

One Type of Religion.
