Threw THEIR MONEY AWAY
NIAGARA Falls Woman Forgot $205
She Had Tied In Bundle Of
Old Linen.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Mrs. John
Devlin of Fifth street rolled up some
old linen the other day, and when her
husband came home she told him to
take the linen out and throw 1t away.
He took it to the Ferry avenue bridge
and threw 1t over onto the Erie tracks
below.
The next day . good friend Of Mr.:
Devlin asked for the loan Of SIS. Mr..
Devlin hurried home to get it for his
friend, but when he asked his wife for
the money she turned white and when
she was able to recover her senses
explained that the six bank books
belonging to members of the family
and $2O5 in cash had been rolled up in
the linen.
A search WAS Immediately started
and every inch of ground in the VIC
Unity Of the bridge was gone over. A
man driving a cow was suspected and
he was located several miles away but
without the precious bundle. Tbs
search so far has failed to reveal the
money.

does II has all to do with her after
health.
The most common complaint Of
women after a days washing is the
terrible backache which almost com.
pels them to 90 to bed This Is some
times followed by headache in the
middle Of the head and behind tho
eyes. which often last for days. Now.
what If the cause OF these after et-
fects? Certainly ordinary work should
not entail such after sufferings. The
whole cause Is the position OF the
woman while working over the tubs.
The majority Of wash benches are too
low and the woman must stoop over
while at work This causes the mus
Giles OF the abdomen to relax. which al
lows the stomach. liver. kidneys. and,
in fact. all the organs. to fall forward
out Of their normal positions, caus-
ing the terrible after effects OF such
work
The proper position before a tub Is
a perfectly erect position. Here 1t Is
impossible for the abdominal organs
to fall out OF position, as the abdom.
inal wall Is tense, as it should be when
IN the erect position.
Another point OF value In the erect
position is the fact that the wringing
OF the. clothes is much easier. since
the whole force OF the arm can be
used without having to exert an effort
to keep the erect position.
The lifting of the tubs Is an entire
ly unnecessary labor. When they are
not Of the stationary kind they can
be emptied by means Of a siphon.

EradIcatino Quack Grass.

show that quack grass can be COM
pletely and effectually eradicated by
sowing sorghum. Infested tracts were

May with sorghum.
This made such vigorous growth
that 1t swamped and smothered the
quack grass 80 that not bit of it was

age of this sorghum method is that
there is no loss Of crop. the process
that knocks out the grass giving a

Is IL 10 COuuOAAy AokoAS0N $A"s WAN
number OF mulattoes is decreasing.
and observation in the south tends to
confirm tina: view, but the census re-
turns show an increase for the coun-
try generally. Among mulattoes are
included all persons except full blood
negroes, who show any trace Of negro
blood. In 1910 the census enumerated
s,S27,763 negroes Of whom 2,050,6S6 or
209 per cent were reported as mulat-
toes. In 1890 there we're counted 1885,
SIC negroes OF whom 1,132,060 or 1852
per cent. were reported as mulattoes.
In 1870 there were counted 1880, 900
negroes Of whom 584,049 or II per
cent. were reported as mulattoes. This
showing Of a steady increase would be
alarming but for the accompanying
suggestion that it does not necessarily
mean a, growing intermixture OF
whites and negroes, and that 1t may
be accounted for by a growing inter-
mixture Of mulattoes and full-blood
negroes, and the marriages between
mulattoes is increasing, it may still
be true that fewer children are born
Of pure white and black parents than
formerly. From the southern point of
view 1t is encouraging to find that the
comparison Of states shows relatively
fewer mulattoes where the negro pop
ulation Is densest. In New England,
the east north central, and in the Pa.
cihc states about one-third of the ne
sroes are reported as mulattoes.
while general average Of about twen-
ty per cent. Is the estimate. It Is
strange that the average writer on
this subject never reckons with the
TACT that marriages between mulat-
toes increases the number of mulat-
