REPUBLIC FOR men
Monks Live, Study and Pray In
Mount Athos.
Country Formed In Ninth Century and
II Is Said that Foot Of Woman Has
Not Touched Soil In Hundreds
Of Years.

Mount Athos, Greece.-Yhere Is Q
womanless republic on a peninsula
south Of Macedonia, in Greece, where
10000 men live. studying and praying
constantly, and where policemen
guard the course to keep out women
pilgrims and other persons who would
make undesirable guests. Professor
Casper Rene Gregory, student of Bib
lical manuscript, who located in Kan
sas City recently at the Fine Arts In
stitute, told of this unique Of all coun-
tries.
"The place is Mount Athos, classic
peninsula Of Akte, the easternmost Of
three little peninsulas below Mace
donia." Professor Gregory explained.
ut is called Mount of the Twenty
Monasteries, and was used in ancient
times as a signaling station to Asia
Minor. 1t is a real republic. There
are 10000 monks there, who govern
themselves without interference from
Turkey or any other country. There
are however. no government buildings.
no president or other oficeholders.
"The only police force is composed
Of men who patrol the coast to keep
out women and men who have no per-
NIT to enter this most exclusive Of
countries. Only those who have let
ter of permission from the Greek pat
riarch in Constantinople are allowed
to enter the holy place. The holder
of the letter must present it in
Karges. the village capital of the PEN
insula."
Some reports have it, Professor
Gregory said. that this republic was
formed in the ninth century. 1t is
said that the foot of woman has not
touched the soil of the place for CEN
turtles. All the monks represent the
Greek Catholic church. They work
the soil some. but live chiefly upon
contributions from pilgrims. Proba-
bly, the greatest collection Of Biblical
manuscripts is in the monasteries Of
this republic.

Not for the Bird Lovers.

Many Of the feather fashions Of this
season will be bitterly opposed by the
bird lovers, and there are happily
many women who have the courage OF
their convictions and who will ignore
the DEGREES OF Nine. Ia Mode and
frankly show their preference for the
graceful floral aigrsttes now being
made.
Flowers are suggested as a substi-
tute for feathers that have been pro-
cured by cruelty. but It may not be
out Of place to point out to the gentle
danes who wish to protect bird life
that 1t is at least equally their duty to
see that in the modes they are ready
TO adopt they are not simply encour-
aging the sweatshop evil. Silken roses

coLoRED FLOWERS OF SILK
All Designs and coIors Of These Nil.
iInery .Adornments Seem to
Have Found Favor.

On girdles and at the fastening Of
achus and bodice drapery the silk
flower is almost ubiquitous. Large
roses, wound around hard cotton
padded centers, are made very sue
cessfully now. Others have their pet
ais cut out and bound with narrow
satin ribbon.
The double petal is sewed on the
wrong side. turned and stitched again
on the edge of the right and gathered
in at the base. Five or six of these
make lovely flower, clustered around
a center Of yellow stamens, bought at
the millinery counter.
There are flowers that are made of
round petals and some Of pointed and
oval petals. Pond lilies are enjoying
great favor; camellias and gardenias
are next; the rose is always In high
popularity.
On hats, a single handmade flower OF
large size will grace millinery. Clus-
ters Of them will be used on lace and
linen caps for babies, and the little
straw bonnets for tiny tots will be
Just as highly favored as ever.

FROM THE EDITOR.
He Forgot That He Had q Stomach

Talking of food. there is probably
no professional man subjected to .
greater. more wearing mental strain
than the responsible editor of .
modern newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
stantly in good working order, the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency.
Nothing will SO quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
and disordered stomach. 1t there
fore follows that he should have
right food. which can be readily as
simulated. and which furnishes true
q brain nourishment.

position in that direction would seem

THE doctor diagnosed the condi-
tion as 'catarrh of the stomach and
prescribed various medicines, which
did me no good. I finally threw
physics to the dogs gave up tea

and adopted Grape-Nuts and Postum

II can conscientiously say, and I
wish to say it with all the emphasis
possible to the English language,
that they have benefited me as med
icines never did. and more than any
other food that ever came on my
