RULES FOR RIGHT LIVING
Frederic Harrison, Who Is Alive st
Eighty, Gives His Views
on Subject.

Frederic Harrison, barrister, his.
torian. philosopher, publicist. positiv-
list and anti-woman's suffragette, cele
brated his eightieth birthday recently
I'm London. In spite OF his great age.
Mr.. Harrison is still hale and hearty.
and his intellectual activity Is oc.
casionally evidenced in acutely rea-
soned letters to the press. A self
discipinarian, he attributes his phys
zeal and mental fitness to the rigid
observance of his own Spartan rules
of life" Here they are: Touch not
tobacco, spirit, nor any unclean thing
Rise from every meal with an appe
tite. Walk daily two hours. Sleep
nightly seven hours. Be content with
what you have"
Playing cards and tobacco are Mr..
Harrison's aversions. Men and won.
en-, he says, who are too dull to take
pleasure In talk, too ignorant to read.
too lazy to dance, deaf to music, blind
to art, unable to keep themselves
awake, betake themselves to cards"
AS for my Lady Nicotine, he cannot
find words strong enough to denounce
her with. Smoking is "a beastly dis
ease" to be stunned on grounds med
ical, moral, social and esthetic.
Mr.. Harrison, however, Is better
known as the greatest living disciple
OF Auguste Comte than as a social
Don Quixote. His presidential ad-
dresses to the Positivist society are
said by good judges to contain some
OF the finest high thinking" In the
English language. In view OF these
end other virtues. people here are
proud to hail him a grand old London
er, born and educated within the
sound Of the bells of Bow.

ears, chop fine one head of cabbage,
four large onions, four green peppers
and add quart of vinegar. Boil all
| together. Mix three cups OF sugar,
three-fourths Of a cup of -four, half
cup of salt, fourth of cup OF mus

half their weight In sugar in stone
crock and let stand over night. In the
morning cook slowly on the back OF

can as usual. Lemon may be added
If desired. but the fruit Is much better
favored than when canned quickly.

preserves and relishes that are IN the
store room and cellar. Then a glance
Will tell you what to choose without
losing the time to look over several
dozen Jars.
Have everything labeled, for no

flavor never before experienced Some
do not care for the smoking, but dip
1t after being wrapped in the husks

seal 1t, and it may then be packed in
layers in box. Keep cool, and 1t will
keep for several years.

ment procures most Of the salt whose
sale Is a government monopoly, and
often sold only by the local postmas-

in salt. AT this point a toothed rail

A1o EMBROIDERY DESIGN.

Just such pretty blouses as these are
needed In generous numbers throughout
the spring and summer, and this one has the
great advantage of being very easy to
make. The sleeves are separate and
stitched to the armholes, but the seams
are concealed by the trimming. In the
illustration there Is a frill arranged at
the left side, but sven that is not neces-
sary for the blouse can be finished without
1t, with just the tucks and bsnding. Mar,
Q~uisette is the material illustrated and
the lace Is flet, but all the pretty summer
materials are used for blouses of this
kind, and the model Is just as good a one
for the frock as for the separate waist.
If the collar is not liked it can be omitted
and the neck finished with banding.
For the Is year size the waist will re-
quire 2 yards of material ~, rs yards SO
or Al inches wide with o12 yards of band
Ing and 3 yards Of edging.
The pattern, No. 1898, in sizes for
misses Of I6 and IS years of age, and the
embroidery design 40, will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion Department
of this paper, on receipt Of ten cents fog
each.
