Amonu the Cannibals.

In my most successful novel," said
Upton Sinclair. at a vegetarian ban
quet in New York, Il aimed at the
public's heart and hit 1t. with my beef
talk, in the stomach.
Il was rather like the Bangala mis-
sionary. who said:
~ failed, alas. to bring tears to
those cannibals' eyes, but at least
made their mouths water.

Locating Hives.

It is said that bees cannot profit
ably travel more than two miles for
nectar. II they have to fly greater
distance and carry back their load
thew cannot bring to the hive enough
during the working hours to make 1t
profitable. The hives must therefore
ha p,aced with this fact in mind.

With the tight skirts that we have
been wearing for the last year, it IS
really necessary to think about your
feet, for when you don't you are apt to
stand OF sit in a position which would
be all right with long, trailing skirts,
but with your feet exposed as they are
now, the result is surely ludierOus, and
in older women It is anything but dig
nified.
A great many women balance them
selves badly and their figures get en-
tirely out Of shape. because they ha-
bitually stand with their feet in the
wrong position.
Then the heels Of the shoes get trOd-
den down, and the entire body loses its
poise. Many women have one hip larger
than the other, or one shoulder higher
than the other.
Ny shoemaker IN Paris assured me
that such persons shoes were always
trodden down at the heel or at one
side Of the sole, and that ii was be-
cause they didn't stand properly that
their figures were so bad. This seems
a dreadful price to pay for the neg
Iect Of so important a thing as proper
attention to the feet, doesn't ito
II we want to look graceful and have
good figures, let US cultivate intelligent
feet, not for running away, but for
walking. standing and sitting.

determined that Carrie should have
no better dinner.
For days she had studied the
Thanksgiving menus in all the NOvem-
Der home and housekeeping magazines,
But they were all so elabOrate-nOne
Of them could she follow entire.
Arranging the Menu.
This morning she cleared the dining
room table and now. with all the mag
azines spread before her. she began to
write out on large sheet Of paper a
menu compiled from them all
There was so much to consider in
making up this menu-the number OF
people, the cost the fact that there was
no one to serve it but Della. After
much nibbling Of the end of her pencil
and much consultation with Della,
Helen finally wrote out this dinner:
Grape Fruit with MaraschinO Cherries,
Cream of Tomato Soup.
Bread Sticks.
(Three at each plate. tied with orange
and red ribbon-)
Celery. Olives. Sailed Almonds
Roast Turkey. Chestnut Surfing.
Cranberry Sauce. Blackberry Jelly.
Sweet Potatoes Baked Squash.
Asparagus.
Salad a la Ntnaigrette.
Plum Pudding. Wine Sauce.
Sweet Cider. COffe.
Nuts. Fruits. BOnbOns. Raisins-
The only dish with which Helen was
not thoroughly familiar was the salad
that for the decorative qualities as
shown by the illustration She knew
that no dish could ever be made to
look like a magazine Illus ira ton, Dur
she thought il she followed the dlrec-
tiOns very carefully this fancy salad
could be made most attractive.
On another piece of paper, Helen
now began 10 figure up the cost War
rem had said last night: Now. there 8
no sense in splurginE on this dinner.
You ought to be able TO get up a pretty
decent meal for ten people for S2O-
that's 81 a plate You can dine any
Could She Do Its
Twenty dOllars-cOuld she get II up
for that? The turkey alone would be
what? Here she began to figure.
They had decided that two small tur-
keys would be better than one very
large one, IS the two would give a
greater selection of parts. Everybody
always wanted the breast or the first
joint.
Two 1O-pound turkeys at 80 cents a
pound would be IS. Then the grape
fruit five at 25 cents apiece, would
be S125.
But She crossed out these figures
and began over again. She would
write them down with the prices in
then add them all up together.
Grape fruit, at 25 cents. Sl.25.
Tomatoes for soup, 40 cents.
g Celery, SO cents.
Olives, so cents.
Sailed almonds so cents
Turkey, two 1O-pouuders, at 80 cents
5000
Cranberries. so cents.
Sweet potatoes, 80 cents.
Squash Is cents.
Asparagus, $3.50.
Salad 50.
Plum pudding, 81
Nuts (miXed) so cents.
Fruit, 75 cents.
Raisins 40 cents.
Cider, $3.50.
And now Helen counted this up. She
was not rapid or accurate at figures,
so she had to 90 over it several times
before she was sure of the result
$3.50.
Nineteen dollars and 40 cents-and
that was not allowing any extras. 1t
was merely the raw material and on
several items she was not at all sure
that she had allowed enough. And she
must buy a new roasting pan-tney

SCALP ITCHED 50
SHE COULDN'T SLEEP
Nor Keep from Scratching. Became
Worse and Worse. In Two Weeks
Rid Completely Of Trouble through
UseOfCuticura SOapa Ointment.

One evening while combing my hair,
noticed few brown crustlike spots on my
scalp and, Of course, I thought It was only
a little dust that had settled there during
the week. So I washed my hair thoroughly
but saw that they wouldn't come out. Then
at the end Of the next week I washed my hair
again, and to my astOnishment I saw not only
those few but many more had come Then
my head became worse and worse, and my
scalp started to itch terribly, so that I could
not sleep nor keep from scratching my head
The crustlike places later opened and
made sores which bled, and they also itched
something terrible. I tried many remedies
but none helped and instead they made my
head worse. This condition of my scalp
kept up for a month, and then one day I
met friend and she advised me to use
CUticura Soap and Ointment which I did.
In two weeks was nd completely Of this
trouble, through the use of the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. 1 am never without
them, for they are my most highly valued

Good Reasons
For Demanding the Original
Remedy, NeWbro's
Herpicide

If you knew it you would not WIZ
ingly accept counterfeit money. Instead
you would probably raise a disturbance
and seek some means Of redress.
Why then accept preparation said
to be Just as good as Newbro's Herpi-
cider You know It is = counterfeit,
an imitation of the real thing. You
want the original dandruff germ de-
strOyer, Herpicide. and YOU can get i,
too, if you insist.
Redress is always possible in such an
instance. The most effective method IS
to trade where you get what you ask
for and no suggestions offered
With the death Of the dandruff germ
the hair stops falling and is permitted
TO resume its natural growth and
beauty. Such results follow the use OF
Newbro's Herpicide 1t stops itching
of the scalp almost instantly.
A counterfeit article is never Just as
good" Herpicide is sold and guaran-
teed by all druggists
Applications may be obtained at all
good barber shops and hair dressers-
Send 10c in postage for sample and

II VERY day marvel at your beau
n, tiful American shoes. When I
go back to Paris shall take a
whole trunkfu Of them with me. for
especially on the stage they make the
feet look so small and dainty.
In France, by that mean in Paris,
our slippers are made much longer and
more pointed than they are over here
and think they make the feet look
larger, too.
But the Partisan is very vain about
her feet, and our slippers and shoes
are of beautiful materials-brOcades
and Telvets and satins, and most Of all
we are taught at very early age how
to manage our feet so that they look
graceful, no matter how large the
shoes.
It astonishes me so much to see how
the average American girl can be so
totally unconS- 7us Of the fact that she
has any feet ne French woman, who
is I think wonderfully graceful (you
agree with me, don't yoU2) begins
when she is a very little girl to learn
the proper way to place her feet, and
you do not see young girls sitting with
their legs crossed, or with their feet
in queer twisted positions, wrapped

had nothing large enough to hold the
two turkeys.
When everything was counted it
would be much more than $50. but she
would Try to keep it as near that as
possible.
She gathered up her magazines ana
menus and put them away. 1t was
week yet until Thanksgiving, and there
was much to be done before the actual
preparations of the dinner
The whole apartment must be thor
Oughly cleaned and put in perfect or
der. for Carries keen eyes would be
everywhere. There would be nothing
she could not see. Carrie herself was
an excellent hOusekeeper, but she kept
TWO maids and worked them almost to
death. And Helen resolved to show her
that she could keep her apartment just
as clean with only one maid who was
not OverWOrked-
Now, Della" going out into the

Tuesday the bedrooms, bathroom and

Late Monday afternoon Helen hur-
ried downtown to a department store
for the roasting pan, candles and some
lace paper mats. On the way home
the nuts, bOnbOns raislnS, olives and
fruit. The store was crowded with
pyramids of oranges. lemons and grape
fruit. baskets of fruit tied with rib
bons. and great cases of fancy canned
and attractively packaged goods.
Helen bought more than she had in
tended. She could not resist a box OF
crystallized ginger, jar Of stuffed
dates and one of especially washed
figs. They would make the table 50
much more attractive. Finally she had
to tear herself away for fear Of buying
more Never had the stores and the
goods seemed so auuring.
Even the butchers place from
which she usually shrank-had a fes-
tive Thanksgiving air a tat pig with
an apple in its mouth and a paper
frilled collar was in the window The
floor was freshly sawdusted, and the
decorations of parsley and paper frills
took away some Of the horror OF the
hanging Carcasses-
On the way home she stopped
abruptly as she passed a florist. There
must be some OWers-Somet hing for
a centerpiece Perhaps she had better
leave the order now
Roses Too Expensive.
She wanted roses, but found they
were too expensive so she decided on
two dozen pink carnations as they
made the best show for the least
money. and with her pink candle shades
would be very attractive.
When she reached home she had
consciousness Of having spent a great
