no action. The enabling act of the
state gave it the right to select six
salt beds, but the state never availed
itself of the provision, but let it lapse

tive organs are In no condition to ears
for food. The digestive juices are al

Giving Him Carte Blanche.

A few years ago John Kendrick
Bangs, the humorist, told a number of
his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had Just received from Henry
w. Savage, the theatrical producer,
for the libretto Of a musical comedy.
The play was produced a few months
later. During the long period of re-
hearsals so much of Bangs material
was eliminated and SO much other ma
terial inserted In Its stead that when
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half a dozen of the
original lines remained.
About a week later a friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him If he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
"Yes," replied Bangs. "Only an
hour G / SEM him 500 blank sheets
Of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked."-Irvin Cobb in New York

WELL AIR BEDDING.
Recipes For Various Things Helpful
to the Housewife.

Recipes For Various Things Helpful
to the Housewife.
Why is 1t that SO many housekeep-
ers who see to 1t that their houses are
spotlessly clean, with nary a speck
OF dust IT mud, do not appreciate the
value of clean, fresh air In the home?
In the summer, when n is glad
enough to open the window, proper ven
tilation Is an easy matter, but when
the cold breezes blow and the coal
supply Is not unlimited the housewife
seems to think IL the bedroom win
dows are open for five minutes in the
morning this will supply enough of
for the day.
To begin at the bedroom, 1t is the
idea of most housewives that to turn
the bed covers back for a few minutes
before the open window will sufficient
iy air the bed. And SO 1t is the idea
Of many Of us. But the covers should
be taken completely off the bed and
spread over two chairs by the window
and the mattress turned back. These
should be aired all morning before
making the bed. Every window In the
room should be opened, and, in fact,
one window should be partly open all
the time except when a storm would
drive through.
At night the clothes should not be
allowed to lie In a heap where they
have been carelessly thrown, but each
garment should be separated from the
others and hung on a clothes tree near
a window where the night air will
blow on them, which, contrary to pop
ular superstition, is not Injurious, but
beneficial.
In the kitchen the frequent opening
of the outer door generally lets in SUIT
f1cient fresh air, but the living room
is a different matter. The best plan
Is to have the carpenter make a two
inch board to fit across the outer sill
so that when the sash is closed down
it meets the board. In this way there
will be a space between the upper and
lower sash In the middle of the win
dow, which will permit Of sufficient
fresh air entering. If vanished the
same as the other woodwork this will
not mar the appearance Of the window.

Red Letter DAYS.

The origin of a .'red letter day" has
been traced back to the third century.
Gregory, bishop Of Caesarea, jealous
for the conversion of pagans, found
them unwilling to give up their Gus
tomary recreations at the festivals Of
their gods, SO. taking a leaf out Of
their book, he instituted festivals in
honor Of saints and martyrs. This ex-
ample soon led to- the institution of
holy days, now corrupted into holi-
days. In old almanacs all such holy
days were set forth In red Ink, the
rest being In black; hence the term
"red letter day" for any notable occa-
sion. Others say that the origin of the
expression is much more recent and is
due to the fact that Saints day, the
9th of November, the kings birthday
and accession and King Charles day
were similarly marked OF in red as
holidays for the Bank Of England, evil

LIGHTING BY GAS.
II Was a Costly Process When 1t Was
First Established.

TiThk IStNpiSttcus
The first Incorporated gas company
was the National Light and Heat Com
pany of England, established In 1909.
In America the first gas company was
incorporated in Baltimore In 1915, the
second one in Boston In 1922, and the
next one was the New York Gaslight
company. Incorporated In 1923.
Prior to 1880 the gas business of this
country was nominal, but the price
probably was responsible for its slow
development. From 1924 to 1928, says
Moody's Magazine, the New York Gas
light company sold gas to consumers
at the rate of $40 a thousand cubic
feet.
The FIRST artificial Illuminating gas
was produced In England about 1925
by one DR.. Hales, but not until 1876
was a practical test made. In that
year the Earl of Dundonald Of Scot
land arranged an apparatus by which
he lighted his castle with gas. The
same year William Murdoch of Bir-
mingham, England, introduced gas as
a light In his workshops at Redruth
and Cornwall.
As Mr.. Murdoch was the first man
to reap any commercial benefit from
the discovery of the use Of illuminat-
ing gas, he may properly be accredited
as the father of modern public utiii-
ties. In 1918 London bridge was illu-
minated by gas, and five years later
gas was in general use throughout the
main part of London.

MEDICAL RESEARCH.
Romance of the Discovery Of Tho
Cause Of Mstaria.

49,
Cause Of Msaaria.
In the history of research are many
or the discovery that ma
laria was caused by mosquitoes, 1t is
related how DIR. Low and DR.. Sam
bon lived In the malarious Roman
Campagna without quinine. They re-
tired at sunset to a mosquito proof
hut, with double doors and windows
Of wire net, and they did not leave un-
til sunrise. The fact that they re-
MANNED immune, while the attendants,
sleeping outside, contracted malaria,
confirmed the belief that the mos
Quitoes were responsible.
But how did they carry the disease :
At first it was thought to be by wa
ter. To settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants were sent home and two
members Of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down wifi malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
By cutting sections Of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found. 1t
breaks through the skin OF the probo-
sis and is transmitted at the time OF
the sting. From the first conjecture
to the final proof was a series Of care
full experiments, ending with the Sic
ing Of the mosquitoes proboscis. Now,
this is finer than fine hair. 1t Is nee
essary to stop to think. For 1t is cas-.
Ter to imagine the triumph OF the
proof than the delicate operation that
produced it.-London Standard.

that other reputable societies and

with any hall but the Auditorium and
that any engagement on Saturday
night at the Auditorium had to ter
inmate at 1870 and that any en-
gagement on Sunday had to be OF a
