Brine Baths for Horses.

A bath in which four horses can
stand in hot brine, has Just been ht-
ted up at Droitwich, England. The
bath has been built so that the horses
can walk into four stalls, where they
will find themselves In about 2 feet 8

ing cold.
Droitwich brine is twelve times an
strong as ordinary sea-water, and the
cure is intended for racehorses, polo
ponies and hunters. The proprietor
says that he has for years used the
brine, made hot, on lame horses by
dipping bandages in It and applying
them to the legs. He has found the
cure successful for strains, bangs and
rheumatism.

Near the year 1oe b. O., IN the -

workers In earthenwAre set their pots

When they remembered them and
opened the oven doors they found that
the pots we're vitrined In shining
spots. In this way the enamelinE Of
porcelain was discovered. When
freed of its dross the substance grew
lighter, become clear, and acquired
a grain az fine and smooth a. vel

that rang like a bell
The art OF monochromatic glazing
was discovered In the time Of the
dynasty Of Sung (960-1280 B. c..
Occasionally the action Of the fire sep
arated the pigments and produced en-
cessive richness Of color. The Mon
gol invasion checked the progress Of
ceramic art. In 1858 Tai-Tsu, the
son Of a day laborer, dethroned the
emperor and founded the dynasty Of
Ming, whose reign persisted until
1914. Tat-Tsu lost no time in restor-

gave the national mandatory the
monopoly OF the work in porcelain, eH-
cepting nothing but the white pottery
manufactured by the artisans Of
Tehua. Under the new impetus all
the ancient methods were revived and

WOMAN KILLED BY BULL
KandiyOhi Woman Meets Death Try
ing to Drive Enraged Animal
From The Yard

A fearful tragedy occurred in the
township of Roseville, Kandiyohi
County, last Saturday afternoon when
Mrs. Johanna Whittier, wife of Mr..
Ole Whittier, was attacked in the door
yard by bull and fatally injured.
Last Saturday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock terrible event took place at
the Whittier homestead, in the Town
of Roseville, four miles southwest
from Paynesville. The cattle broke
out from the pasture and came into
the door yard near the house. Mrs.
Wnther, who was about 65 years of
age, went out armed with broom to
try to drive the cattle back. The head
of the herd, large four-year-old bull,
became enraged and attacked Mrs.
Whittier, cruelty mangling her body.
Mr.. Whittier, the husband, came to the
rescue, and the bull took after him.
Mr.. Whittier was saved from injury by
the daughter who arrived on the scene
and set the dog on the bull, drawing
his attention away from his victims.
Mrs. Whittier passed away an hour
and half after sustaining the fear
full injuries. The Winters are among

BEAUTY RESULTS OF DIET
Avoid Dyspepsia and Acquire Beauti-
full Complexion by Careful Choice
of Foods and Drinks

One of the most dreaded foes of
beauty is dyspepsia, which is largely
due to improper digestion. Hence, it
follows that the woman who values
her claims to good looks as well as
health will try to understand some
thing about the effects different foods
have upon her. Mode Of life naturally
must govern to some extent the choice
of food.
Whole wheat or gluten, instead Of
the fine white bread, ought to be made
the "staff of life," and water can hard
ly be drunk too freely except in the
rarest cases. The first glass of it
should be taken before breakfast in
| order to flush the system.
Figs, raisins, prunes and dates,
which stimulate the flow of the in
festival juices, should be much more
freely eaten than they are. At this
season, particularly, they might very
advantageously be alternated, if not
substituted, for fresh fruits. 1t is in
teresting to note that figs contain sc
per cent of glucose, which, when tax
en- into the system, accomplishes with
ia third less work what the starch OF
cereals does. Rhubarb, too, is gooo
for clearing the complexion, and pine
apple is one of the best cleansers. Toe
much can hardly be said for apples
They are great benefit to the nerves
and even one a day for a month will
suffice to make an appreciate differ
ence in the complexion.
Salad is an important aid to diges
ton, the leaves supplying certain need
ed chemical properties and salts need
ed by the body. Spinach has a direc'
tonic effect upon the liver and, as ont
authority puts it, "a tomato and let
tuce salad with mayonnaise dressing
is an agreeable way of taking .calomel
From Mizzi Hajos, one of th'
bright particular stars" of this thea
trical season, comes the following for
mula for making fig paste that som'
of you may like. Let simmer slowl.
for about twenty minutes, half-pin
of boiling water, half-pound each o.
raisins and figs; one ounce of SIENNA
leaves chopped fine with half pount
of granulated sugar. Pour the mix
| ture out on oiled paper in long til
until it becomes cold and stiffens
Take a piece about half-inch square
at bedtime.

sional executives in New York men
whose salaries run from s., 900 to $15,-
600 year. The result was astonish-
ing. Most Of them failed utterly to
solve the problems. The highest mark,
Is per cent was scored by the secre-
tary of society engaged in social
work. The editor Of magazine and
the head of a book publishing house
found problem dealing with the buy
ing and selling Of paper in bulk too
much for them.
Both these men declared that the
terms employed in the problem had
not been in current use for fifty years.
Each of the ten men who were exam
ined explained his low mark by say
ing: Il learned that stuff once, but
haven't had any use for it since"
There seems to be vital connection
between that course in antiquated
arithmetic and the Encouragement of
the parents of those seventh grade pu-
pills. How much similar "stuff' is be-
ing taught school children of the coun-
try? How much of it is there in the
curriculum of the Cleveland schools?

SWATTING SLANG

Nearly everybody uses slang of
some kind occasionally. To counter
act this tendency, which seems to be
growing, Life has inaugurated crus-
,ade against it with veritable Fried
mann cure. It's treatment consists in
the injection of the following virus:
"Take it from us, kid, there's no
nourishment in singing slang stuff.
That's a cinch. Slang is all to the
bad. 1t don't get you anywhere. For
get that Norwegian college professor
who says that American slang is the
swell talk. He's trying to put one
over on US. Either somebody's been
handing him lemon or else he's try
ing to con us. Listen! You can't
make hit with the tony guys unless
you get little style into your lingo.
The trouble with slang is that it puts
your vocabulary on the blink in jiffy.
And then when you want to have a
touch of high life and throw the Jugs,
you're in bad. See? Do you get us
Have some class about you and cut it
out?
Doesn't that get your goat?

DOOMED
To DIE

DAWSON, New Mexico. Oct. 28
Fourteen cOrpses and twenty
three living men were taken out
at 8 o'clock this morning from
the Stag Cannon coal mine where
an explosion late yesterday en-
tombed the entire day shift Of
workers, estimated at 287 men.
Rescue work is proceeding cau-
tiously owing to the deadly fumes
emerging from the mouth of the
mine. The rescuers are equipped
with oxygen helmets and are
working in short shifts. The gov
ernment rescue car is en- route
from Denver. Most of the men
caught in the mine were Mexicans
and but few were Americans, in
cluding General superintendent
McDermott and the foremen.
Judging from the condition Of the
mine which is badly wrecked and
the thick poisonous gases it is
admitted that but few more res
cues are likely.
Coroner Sipe's estimate is that
23O are hopeless1y imprisoned.
