 "Oh. I guess I c8n.' said the friend sereuely. 'I have big feet too"
 Since then the woman with small feet has refused to see her friend, even when she brought the rubbers home.-New York Press.

WOULD GE0E
 ID CANADA

Making a most strenuous appeal to the United states government to offer to exchange the Alaskan pan handle" for some portion of the British Empire of equal value, Mir Robert Stein, at the recent National Peace Congress at Baltimore, said:
 The United States is universally regarded as the natural leader in the peace movement, and it must not shirk the responsibilities of leader ship. It is it's duty to set the ex- ample in mutual concessions. There is the panhandle" of Alaska--a mere ribbon, 5SG miles long and from 8 to S5 miles wide, which is shutting off the northern half of British Col umbia and the entire Yukon Terri tory from free access to the Pacific.
 The territory has an area Of 6Oo,- GOO square miles. It has the same climate as Europe in the same lat-
 ude, and that part of Europe con tains 25,OO0, ,OOO inhabitants.
 This Canadian country has im- mense resources in timber, agricul- tural and mineral lands. Its wealth will necessarily be concentrated in its ports-on American territory. This entire slope is dreuched with rain and possesses waterpower The factories to be driven by that power will necessarily be in American ter ritory: but the reservoirs supplying that power will be on Canadian ground. The 25,OOO,OOO Canadians who will eventually live behind this panhandle will constantly be forced to contribute to the enrichment of half a dozen American cities, while these cities will not contribute a cent toward Canadian taxes. What Ia permanent and growing source of irritation,
 The only gentlemanly course, the only manly course open to us is to say to the Canadians: We are will ing to let you have this coast strip; what will you give us for it?" And if I had tine I could show you that in exchange for it we could very likely get something far more useful to us than this absurd pahhaudle while the panhandle itself, in Can adian hands. would be more useful to us than it now is
 Reverse the situation and see how We should like it. Imagine that our northeastern states were cut off from the Atlantic by a similar pan handle, a Canadian sidewalk running from Eastern Maine down nearly to Philadelphia; that all the great cit ies on that seaboard. Boston. Provi- dence, Newport, New York. Jersey City, were CaEadian cities, deriving their wealth from Che American coun- try behind them, yet contributing not a cent toward American taxes: that not a pound Of freight could be sent from Pittsburg or Buffalo to New York or Boston for export. ex- oept in bond! We should long ago have found the situation uneudur- able.-Prince Rupert Empire.

ANTS THAT COOK.

They Make Dough, Form Cakes and
 Bake Them In the Sun.
 The remarkable habits of the har- vesipr ant have long been known to naturalists. Certain species not only harvest and store In granaries the seeds upon which they feed, but ac- tuany plant and cultivate an annual crop of their food seeds
 But now a still more wonderful tale is told of an ant which is common In Dalmatia, Messor harbarus Ac- cordiug to Professor Neger Of the well known forestry school near Dresden, this ant not only cuts leaves and gath. CTS seeds. but actually makes bread or biscuit
 The seeds are first sprouted, then carried into the sun and dried, then taken back to the underground cham bers, where they are chewed into dough. The dough is then dnaliy made into tiny cakes, which are baked fin the sun, then carefully stored for Euturc use.
 From these observations it appears chat the art of cookery Is not wholly conaued Co the human race. All cook fn- Is done by the sun. whether in the ripening of fruit or In the baking of bread in a stove. The heat obtained from fuel is simply stored up sunlight set free.
 The Arab and the native Mexican speak of ripe fruit as fruit which has been cooked in the sun. The ant has somehow learned the art Of sun cook cry, the saliva with which it moistens the grain probably taking the place of yeast and sweetening through changes set up by its Influence upon starch American Medicine.

The High Collar.

We are now told by eminent authori-
ties that the stiff, high. boned collars
which women wear bring on old age by
constantly pressing upon the thyroid
gland, thus causing it to become degen-
crate and producing premature old age
No woman who has had this condi-
ton explained to her viii ever want to
return to the uncomfortable and danger
Gus high boned collar again. For some
time past fashion has given it a cold
shoulder, and if women once realize tina
it destroys beauty and brings on old age,
will eschew it forever.
Old age is a disease, characterized by
the abundant growth of connective It's
sue, diminution of the oxidations and j
condition OF auto-intoxication.
This disease is caused by the desenera-
ton of the glands with internal secre-
lions, especially the thyroid. The pre-
ventive treatment Of old age is in no less
degree possible than that of any other
disease
To prevent old age coming on too soon

Heat some sawdust on a piece OF paper in
the oven and it is an excellent remedy
for mildew and damp spots on metal or
other polished goods. Rub some dry saw
dust on articles that have been polished
and the polish will last longer. Slightly
moistened sawdust sprinkled on clubhouse
floors, verandas or harder, ETC., and brush
ed off with a hard broom. will clean the
floor without much trouble.

A Wild Rose Frock.

The day when the debutante was strict
~ gowned in pure white is past 1t still
has it's devotees, but it is not nearly so
popular, and the new wild-rose frocks for
young girls threaten to take the pure
white frock's place.
Even the Paris dressmakers. who have
always chung so tenaciously to the idea
of white simplicity for very young girls,
are turning out charming gowns this sea-
son in all the shades of pink and rose. No
color goes so we'll with a youthful face.
whether blonde or brunette, as the varied
shades Of pink.
An attractive little gown OF wild-rose
pink satin Is made with plain skirt fin
ished with double hem Of satin, while
over that falls a fat frill of pink chif-
fon sewed with little rivulets OF pearls
and edged with fringe of crystals,
which sparkle and glitter like row of
icicles In the sunshine.
The top of this frill is held down with
a row of pink satin rosebuds. while the
little bebe bodice of pink satin, which is
very full and short-waisted, with de-
lightful air Of youthful simplicity. is
yelled with the chiffon tunc and gathered
Just under the bust with a narrow strip
of mink, against which nestles a ring of
pink satin roses. the petals OF which are
only partially opened.
This garland of fur and roses provides
the only hint OF ceinture, the tunic be-
ing cut a little lower than the under
dress. which is looped over the bust with
a band Of aluminium lace glimmering
through the chiffon, while the decolletage
is softened with creamy blond lace,
which likewise provides the sleeves.
A tiny fold of satin caught down with a
narrow aluminium cord edges the top OF the
tunic and the little kimono oversleeves,
which partially cover the lace sleeves. are
slit up the middle and caught together
again.

Wedding Reception.

With a little ingenuity and the exercise
of good taste an informal wedding re-
ception at the home of the bride may be
most attractive and inexpensive.
AS many flowers should be used in the
drawing and dining rooms as one can
afford to buy, but there should be no at
tempt at precise decoration. The bios

in point of fact it kills the light and
lacks effect
A charming bank Of green In front Of
which the newly married couple may re-
ceive is made by stretching chicken wire
from a frame that may be fashioned by
mailing together four strips of wood Of
the desired height and width. Asparagus

may be caught in.
The dining room table is the most con-
spicuous object at a reception, and upon
it must be expended most thought. In
the center should he low dish, filled
with white flowers and green. maidenhair

of the table may be an ornamented brides
cake and a,:other wedding cake. This
will bring loaf, preferably round in
form, DIT either end Of the table.
The rest of the space should be occu-
pied with small dishes containing nuts,
candies and small cakes, and plates hold
ing sandwiches are also to be in evil
dence. Any baroness of the board may be
covered with trailing green. Of which too
much cannot he used.
Large dishes for salads, oysters and
whatever other food is served should be
on the sideboard or side tables, as they
are not ornamental. Plates on which to
serve them must be at hand. Coffee
and chocolate are best on little tables
of their own, the cups grouped around
convenient for use.
Ice cream should be brought in after
the other food has been eaten, and II

at this time.
1t is unnecessary to have maids in the
dining room at an informal supper, though
they are useful for removing the soiled
dishes. At any evening function where
guests are not seated at tables the men
are always supposed to wait upon the
women, and thus maids may be dispensed
with.
\ good menu for such a supper includes
bouillon in cups, creamed oysters and
chicken or lobster salad. followed by ice
cream and cakes.
