NEW FIXTURES FOR BATHROOM
Glass Twisted Towel Rods With Nick
s-Plated Brackets Are Latest
Accessories.

Every year something new appears
In the way of bathroom accessories.
Decidedly new this spring are glass
twisted towel rods with nickel-plated
brackets in colonial designs. The
twisted glass prevents the towel from
slipping of the rods, as so often hap
pens with plain glass rods.
Another new fixture. which will be
found useful In a small bathroom
where 1t is impossible to have sta.
tionary washstand is basin and soap
holder Of rather heavy wire, white
enameled. This holder is made to
span the bathtub from one side to the
other by means of heavy wire ex-
tending out on each side. Both ends
of this wire are nickel-plated and made
very strong where they clasp the sides
of the tub. The whole arrangement
has an extension feature which en-
ables it to fit any width bathtub.
A white enameled manicure table,
with glass top over oak, will be found
convenient for either dressing room or
bathroom. This table is finished with
nickel rims. At one end is a quarter
circle drawer in which may be kept
the various manicure instruments.

CARE OF THE FURNITURE
Prudent Housekeeper VIII Shun Pol.

All Defects"

The prudent housekeeper will be
rs wary of doctoring her furniture
with polish that Is recommended to
cover all defects" as she would be OF
a patent medicine which is guaran-
teed to cure every disease. The high
ly-polished surfaces Of furniture have
often been ruined by too free use
of so-called polish which, not hav-
ing been rubbed dry, has hardened
and collects all of the dust before dry
ing, has caused a dull film to appear
over the polished surfaces. A simple
and effective polish for cleaning fur
niture and removing scratches is made
Of one-third linseed Oil and two-thirds
benzine. 1t should be applied with a
paint brush which has very soft bris-
ties and rubbed dry with an old soft
piece of muslin or soft flannel. For
polishing, fold it into pad, sprinkle q
few drops of alcohol over the surface
Of the pad and rub the furniture firm
ly and quickly Rub only small part
at a time and be sure to rub until the
surface is quite dry.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND B0ILS

Plays Written for the Study.

Whenever Macbeth" is put upon
the stage, very nearly fourth of 1t
has to be omitted, for, although it is
the shortest Of the tragedies, It would
take fully three hours to read 1t out
loud without Cabling. Hamlet" thus
read would take nearly two hours
more, and this seems to bear out the
contention OF Swinburne, among 9th
ers, that much of the play, and indeed,
of other tragedies, was written by
Shakespeare for the study and not for
the stage. A six or seven hours per-
Torrance must have been too much
even for an audience of Elizabeths
spacious times.-London Chronicle.

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY
Decrease In Death Rate From Tubercu-
Iosis Means Saving Of 27,oo0
Lives In Ten Years.

In the decade from 1901 to 1910. the
death rate from tuberculosis In the
United States declined from 1863 for
each 100000 persons living to 1908, .
decrease Of 1877 per sent, while the
general death rate, including all causes
OF death. declined only one-half as fast,
or at the rate of 81 per cent, from
1850 to 1858, according to figures
given out BY the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of Tu-
berculosis. The figures are based ON
data distracted from the reports Of
the United States Bureau OF the Gen.
sus, and cover the registration area
In this country. According to the
statement, the tuberculosis death rate
has declined steadily since 1904. when
1t was 201.6. On the other hand, the
general death rate shows fluctuation
downward in general trend, but not as
steady as the tuberculosis rate. The
decline in the tuberculosis death rate
in the last ten years means saving
of $4,000 lives at the present time.

When canning tomatoes add some
hot lard enough to cover welD to
each can before sealing and they will
not prove sour or bitter. The coating
Of lard prevents stray microbes that
may enter through poor rubber from

HABIT OF READING IN BED
Now Said Not to Be Injurious to the
Eyes II Few Simple Rules
Are Observed.

To those addicted to the practice OF
reading In bed the remarks Of DIR. Carl
Seller will be of interest. He states
that there is no valid reason to be
urged against using the eyes in a
proper manner in recumbent posi-
tion-such use is the least tiresome
and can be persisted In for longer
periods with damage than any other
position.
We all know that grave damage Is
often done by reading in a recunlbent
posture, but therein possibly some ocu-
lists are at fault. Had It been the
universal practice during the last 20
or 80 years to give careful directions
how to read lying down instead of say
ing to one and all, you must not read
Dying down" there would be less near
sight and better eyes in the communi-
ty than now exist.
Three easily avoided errors cause all
the harm possible from reading lying
down, the first often leading TO the
other two. They are insufficient or
wrongly directed light, short reading
distance, and tipping the book out of
a plane at right angles to the line OF
vision.
II, however, every one reading lying
down will so arrange his lounge or
bed that the light comes over the
head without striking the eyes, and
falls well upon the page; If he will
hold his book at long reading dis
lance and take care that the line of
letters shall be at right angles to the
line OF vision he can be sure Of doing
his eyes no more harm than If he were
sitting up.
More than this, there is much posi-
lively In favor Of reading lying down.
DIR. Seller concludes: THE recumbent
posture allows more rest Of the bodily
structures than the sitting posture,
and there is greater possibility Of
resting and repair In that position"

Finances and Com

NEW YORK, May CIV Morgan
Shuster. as a representative of the Ma
tional City Bank, last night left New
York for a six-month tour Of South
and Central America.
1T is said that the main objects of the
visit are to gather first-hand data con-
corning the general conditions of the diff
ferent republics to the south, the extent
and nature of their imports and exports,
government finances, the possibilities for
railway building and prospects for
; industrial and mercantile developments in
general.
The first place to be visited will be Rio
Janeiro. From there Mr.. Shuster, with
his aid, II. V. Cam, also of the National
City Bank, will proceed to Buenos Aires.
After the eastern ports and other places
have been studied. the journey probably
will be made up the western coast.
No attempt whatever will be made at
this time to establish any new banks or
to organize new enterprises of any kind.
The object is simply to gather all avail
able information bearing upon the finan-
cial the commercial, the agricultural
the transportation and other matters of
the principal South and Central American
states.
That American capital will flow south
ward later on as fruit of Mr.. Shuster S
labors Is accepted as a foregone conclu-
sion.

which are covered with fine hairs like the
rest Of the body. The legs are rather
thickly covered with a mat of fine short
hairs and with bristles, which on the
lower segment are arranged in rows, and
are used as brushes with which the dust
is brushed Off the rest of the body. At
the ends are claws and pads, which
enable the fly to cling to highly polished
surfaces.
These pads are the most dangerous
part of the fly, for on them are secreted
the majority of the million and quarter
germs which the average house fly car
ries around with him. Where do all
these germs come from? Necessarily
from the place where the fly breeds or
feeds.
The eggs of the typhoid fly. as DIR. L.
o. Howard calls it. may be laid on any
kind Of decaying or fermenting material.
Because of the heat caused by the decom-
position Of manure, the housefy prefers
to lay her eggs in horse manure. rms
heat causes the eggs to hatch in from
eight to twelve hours; in about the same
number of days the larvae are fully de-
veloped. and in a period OF eight TO
twenty days the pupae develop into grown
flies and go on their way to spread dis
ease with bodies full of filth. The next
stopping place is probably lunchroom
or the sickroom of typhoid patient In
many ways they take up these germs,
which retain their vrulence for fifteen
days, during which time they develop
and are dropped or passed out of the f1y's
system-so "fy specks'' are dangerous
as we'll as disgusting.
Every citizen now has the chance and
necessary cooperation to make Washing
