The wearing of bird upon the hat

any amount of plumage. Gradually
the wearing of feathers may die out,
but the signs of the times do not point
that way. More plumage is shown
now than ever before. Women should
learn to discriminate in choosing It..
and select those feathers which they
may wear with an easy conscience.

short skirt. or Lono7

There can be no doubt that the real
ly short skirt has thoroughly estab-
lished itself this spring or course
for walking and all outdoor games 1t
is a delightful and most sensible
fashion. but there is some question as
to its beauty and suitability where the
dressy afternoon 'frock or evening
toilet is concerned. For the quite
young woman who is still in her teens.
or has recently quilted them. the short
frock looks girlish and pretty. and is,
moreover. very practical and comfort
able. But with the older woman It is
quite different matter. She looks
simply ridiculous in these fashionable
curtailed skirts, and. far from giving
her girlish appearance. they add
years to her apparent age.

So many older women seem tn

cailow and sometimes forward and
rather ridiculous in her pretentiops of
age and dignity she must be contin.

ing at her opinions and criticisms.
and leaving her out of discussion and
conversation, until some day they
awake with start to realize that the
child is woman. and a pert and em.
bittered woman at that.
OF course. American girls are no.
torious for their unpleasant presump.
tion, and there are many, many things
which girl In her teens is not com.
petent to decide for herself, let alone
for others; but there is no reason
why a girl who really is growing up
should be made to feel that she Ia al
ways In the way and must be pat
ronized when she is noticed at all.
Give her at least a chance to feel
that she is one of the family and that
she Is a step above the children in
the nursery. whom she is likely SO to
despise.
Here, as elsewhere. you will go
most safely in the middle" and this
rather delicate problem OF maternal
management will settle itself II con.

Women are learning to discriminate
in this matter and to forego the wear
ing Of plumage that promises to bring
about the extinction OF a species of
beautiful wild birds or to infiict tor
turc. A proud crest OF dainty feath-
ers torn from the back OF a mother
bird and the death of nest full of
fedglings by slow starvation, are not
pleasant suggestions to fiaunt with
the group of sweeping aigrettes upon
the head of beauty. For the wearer
must be either uninformed, or indif-
ferent, or unmindful of cruelty. None
of the excuses will pass muster with
intelligent people.
Aside from very few sorts. the
feathers we have worn recently and
those we will wear. are made from
the plumage of domestic or other edi-
BILE birds. No cruelty is practised in
securing them and thousands Of peo-

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis

Financial Loss Through tuberculosis.
Based on the census of 1900. it is
estimated by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis that nearly 100000 children
now in school will die of tuberculosis
before they are IS years of age, or
that about 6,400 die annually from
this disease. Estimating that on an
average each child who dies of tuber-
culosis has had six years of schooling.
the aggregate loss to the country in
wasted education each year amounts
to s1,152,000. According to investiga-
tions made in New York, Boston and
Stockholm, the percentage of children
who are afflicted with tuberculosis is
much larger than the death rate would
indicate.

Improved Cutting BIowpipe.

The cutting blowpipe, of which SO
many surprising things have been re-
ported, has recently been improved in
France in way to render it more
generally useful. Two inflammable
gases must be employed. One is re-
'quired to keep the metal at a high
Temperature. The other is oxygen to
concentrate action by oxidation along
the line of the cut. For heating, either
goal gas, acetylene or hydrogen is
employed, but as there is sometimes
difficulty in procuring supply of
those gases. the new blowpipe is ar
ranged to use instead of the ordinary
gasoline employed by motorists.

NEVER TASTEDFLESH
Philadelphia Girl Vegetarian All
Her Life.
Miss Ora kress Is Not Interested In
the Boycott on the Meat Trust
She Bars Feathers on
Her Hats.

Philadelphia, Pa. There is one
young woman in this city who is not
at all concerned about the outcome
of the anti-meat crusade, or the beef
trust investigation, and that is Miss
Ora Kress, junior at the Woman's
Medical college. Miss Kress is a vege-
tartan, not one who adopts it as a
fad, but one who has never tasted
meat from the time of her birth, %
years ago.
Her father, Dr. D. H. Kress, super
intendent of the Seventh Day Advent
list sanatorfum at Washington, D. c.,
is an ardent advocate Of vegetarian
ism, and he has brought up his daugh-
ter in accordance with his views.
Miss Kress Is none the worse off
for her abstinence from meat Healthy
and robust, with a clear complexion,
a pleasant temperament and genial
disposition, she Is the favorite of
friends and fellow students.
Time and. again her chums endeav-
.ored to tempt her with 'sirloin. well
done," or a brown turkey drumstick,
but she resisted the temptation. .
"Do you know, 1t often strikes me
so funny" said Miss Kress, with a
laugh, "to see people gorging the
carcass of some dead animal or fowl
down their throats. 1t is repulsive to
me.
'Why kill living things for food
when the earth is so generous with
her bounty of healthful, nourishing
food?"
do you believe in vegetarianism be-
cause it is healthful or because it Is
humane?" she was asked.
"Both," she answered
: "Do you wear plumes or feathers?"

Butter is fat, too. Then, it must be
remembered that wheat and nuts con-

The ancient Greeks, who attained
the highest point in the development
of the human form and who gave SO
much to the world that is beautiful

was luxury to them, and when they
ate meat abundantly they began to de-

"Do you find your light food nour-

asked.

she retorted. "And then remember
that work rather hard and need nu-
tritious food"
Oatmeal, eggs, butter, milk, bread
and ice cream are the principal ar
ticles of food in this remarkable young
woman: diet. Sometimes fruit and
candies relieve the monotony of her
course.
"You see, we are not vegetarians in
the fullest sense of the word," added
Miss Kress. Extremists insist upon
vegetable food only, and place the ban
upon milk and eggs, as well. We,
however, use milk and eggs, because
it does not require the killing of life.
But fish, of course, is in the same
category with meat"

Every winter this prescription is pub

half pint of good whiskey and put
the other two ingredients into it. Take
a teaspoonful to tablespoonful of this
mixture after each meal and at bed

But be sure to get only the genuine
Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce
bottle comes in tin screw-top case.
Any druggist has it on hand or will
quickly get it from the wholesale
