Footwear is made prominent this

lntoxfcants on Board Steamers.

The consumption OF intoxicants on
board Of the large ocean steamers ply
ing between New York and European
ports reaches a large aggregate. The
New York Sun gives from the stew
ards department Of the Cunard fleet
for a year the following figures Of the
quantities OF wines and liquor used:
Eight thousand and thirty quarts
and 1858 pints of champagne, 1891
quarts and 1910 pints of claret, 5000
quarts of other wines, 4S9,344 pints Of
ale and porter, ia 1921 quarts of min
eral waters, and $4,000 quarts Of spir-
ituous liquors" OF this enormous
liquor consumption on shipboard, 1t is
undoubtedly true that by far the larger
portion is by European voyagers, but
Il is also true that many Americans, a
great many too many, drink a full
share OF these wines and liquors. A
total abstinence mission is nowhere
more needed than among those who.
as weIl-to-do passengers, go down to
the sea in ships.

To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage
Put your flowers In very lightly. Use
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or, better still. soft har-
mony. The aim of the decorator should
be to show off the fowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white,
a delicate shade of green, or rose col
or. according to the flowers arranged
in them.

But it is the decoration of millinery
that fabric flowers fashioned in the
milliner's own workrooms, have forged
to the front in popular favor. People
who want them should not complain
of high prices. Their recourse is to
make them at home-since the time
of the milliner is money Almost ev-
cry woman owns stems and foliage
which may be used with these ribbon
flowers. for foliage and stems outlast
the millinery flowers as a rule. Leaves
are easily smoothed out with a small.
slightly warm iron. She who is clev-
er with paints can use them to adyan-
tage in freshening foliage.
The roses and flowers are made in
such a variety of ways that it is best
to select a certain kind and copy it..
Those in which the petals are made
of short lengths gathered at both ends
and along one edge, take less mate
rial than those that are wound about
a center. Buds are made of little
squares of ribbon mounted in a mil
linery calyx, and take very little ma
terial.
illustrations are given here Of sew
eral varieties of roses and buds; a
little experimenting will develop the
flowers satisfactorily.

WHISKY NO GOOD FOR COLDS
Persons Partaking of Alcohol Are
More Likely to Suffer From Ex-
posure Than Others.

At this season of the year the advice
is freely given, take little brandy or
whisky to keep out the cold or drive
away chill" To all such we COM
mend the teachings of DR.. Norman
Kerr. than whom on this subject there
Is no higher authority.
When he was asked if brandy or
whisky was good to ward off a threat
ening cold or drive away chill?
No" replied Doctor Kerr "On the
contrary, it is an entire fallacy to sup
pose that brandy or alcohol, in any
shape or form, either warns the sys-
TEN or keeps off cold As a matter Of
fact. alcohol, after very temporary
rise of temperature, extending over a
few minutes only, lowers the vital tenn
perature, in consequence of which the
drinker is actually robbed Of heat in
stead Of acquiring an additional sup
ply. Persons partaking alcohol are
more likely te cuffer from cold or ex-
posture to It than those who abstain
from 1t. 1t is for this reason that in
climates such as Lower Canada the
soldiers on guard are instructed never
to take alcohol when about to go on
duty. l have known several deaths
arising from disobedience to this
rule"
Brandy, then" said his friend, is
practically useless"
Certainly" replied the doctor.
Brandy does not warm the system as
so many suppose; it merely warns the
skin. and has paralyzing action on the
nerves which control the blood supply.
This accounts for the flush which one
sees on the face of q person who has
just taken a glass of spirits Brandy,
In short, causes a relaxation Of the
blood vessels, and is responsible for
the flush on the skin. Intelligent voy-
ayers never now take alcohol with
them, unless It be in minute quantities
in their medicine chests l have been
in the arctic regions myself, and
know very well that brandy cannot
only be dispensed with, but that one
is decidedly better without It. An i'm
mense number Of people, whenever
they feel a chill, resort TO alcohol, on
the mistaken assumption that it warns
the body; 1t is a pity they do not know
that it has an absolutely contrary eff
feet"
On being asked what he would rec
ommend in cases Of cold, he said:
There is nothing better than simple
hot water and getting under the blan-
kets. The water can, of course, be
favored with lemon or orange, accord
ing to taste A good drink of hot wa
ter has all the beneficial effects Of
brandy and none of It's accompanying
risks. If the feet can be put into hot
water at the same time, so much the
better. Spirits generally are worse
than useless in cases of illness An
enormous number of people have taken
rum under the impression that it keeps
the influenza at a distance AS fact,
however, rum invites the influenza,
from the depressing effects of alcohol
on the nervous system. A nervous sys-
TEN depressed through the agency Of
alcohol is much more likely to take on
any form Of epidemic than one not sim
ilarly affected, inasmuch as the vital
ity Is lowered"

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton Of the results Of a four years use
OF the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since l can remember We had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
US all, and l myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused b. It,
Il know 1t was that, because wheq
I would leave 1t off for few days /
would feel better. But It was hard to
give it up, even though l realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
AT last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change Four years
ago | abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and | also in
fluenced the rest Of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And 1t has done us all great
good
Il no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since l began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
I'VE appreciate Postum as a de-
lightful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the
best of nourishment as well" Name

GAME WARDEN ESTES
AFTER DEER KILLERS
FOUND FIVE CARCASSES

Martin Martin and jeff Kirk Must
Answer to Grand Jury-Too Many
Violations in Southern Country Says
Estes.

Deputy Game Warden Jim Estes is
demonstrating that he takes the du-
ties of his office seriously and that he
has every intention of protecting the
wild game from slaughter out of sea-
son. Recently he captured eight
Greeks in camp near Meacham with
the carcass of a deer and yesterday
he returned from one of the brakes Of
the John Day where he found the car
casses of five deer hung up in camp.
Earl Martin was the only man in pos
session, but he confessed that his
brother, Marion Martin and Jeff Kirk
were implicated in the violation of
the game law. They were at that
time absent but young Martin gave
the warden every assurance that they
would answer to the charge when
summoned, and, as they are all we'll
known ranchers of that country, Estes
returned without them. He has plac-
ed his evidence before the grand jury
and indictments will undoubtedly be
returned.
Estes says that the people out in
that section of the country are the
worst violators of the game laws in
the state. He says on account of the
nature Of the land, a great many
deer hibernate there annually where
they are easy marks for the lawless
hunters. But the new deputy is de-
termined to put stop to this ruth
less slaughter and will watch the
dw eilers Of that section of the county
with an eagle eye.
