The theory is advanced by the editor
Of the Medical Record that the morbid

works OF Robert Louis Stevenson re-
suited from toxins OF tubercular origin
which coursed in his blood. This sug-

writer says:
at Saranac Lake is the Adirondack
Cottage Sanatorium, the benehcent In

gun some three decades ago by DR.. Ed

Four conditions were made by Rus
sian officials in the matter OF founding
a Baptist Bible College in st. Peters
burg. These were: First, tha. the site
might be purchased only through an es-
tablished or legal church; second. that
not more than s, so may be expended
for land, unless further permission be
obtained; third. that there can be no
arts course that might compete with
Russian schools; and fourth, that no stu
dent study or professor teach any poll
teal topic. Some Russian Orthodox
Church must be found through which to
buy and by which to hold the title.
The chief argument used 10 secure the
concessions named was that II the col
iege were not founded In st. Petersburg.
II would be In Berlin. and that Russian
students, going to Germany, might i'm
bibe ideas which Russian officials would
wish they did not. Russians are extreme
ly sensitive at this time overJthe abroga-
ton OF the treaty Of 1s2, and they take
much to heart the fact that Americans
sympathiEed with japan and not with
them IN the last war in the Far East.

Fads in Jewelry for 1912

Mrs. Paris Singer has been a fro

what unusual ornament which unfail-

a jeweled serpent Of heavy dull gold.
with great glittering emeralds for
eyes. and q ridge Of diamonds and
rubies down its scaly back
It can be worn as a necklace or an

that the head is on the back of her

method for several reasons. The first
but not the best of them Is to gave
smells. Experience has shown that
the smell, though not absolutely pre-
vented Is SO minimized as to be In
offensive.
The second reason Is, the saving Of
time and trouble. There is absolute
ly no danger Of scorching--all the
watching necessary is look in to see
when the bag is brown enough to
have the heat lessened. 1t takes rom
three to ten minutes-depending
something on the weather. something
on the fuel-especially ). 1t Is gas
and something on the CRATES or Jets
in which the burning goes forward.
When the baS-corners turn q dead
leaf brown and the upper surface IL
family yellow. slack the heat-either
by turning out flame, pushing in dam
pers, or setting the oven door aiar.
1t is this lowered heat that prevents
the possibility of scorching--a pre-
vention which anybody who has ever
cooked will appreciate.
