Dressing and Care Of Body

CLoUDED BRAIN
Clears Up on Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, If the food taken is
not fully digested, but is retained in
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experiences
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"a steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
so on, finally broke down a stomach

CHAPTER xII.-continued.

The instant the departing messen
ger left him alone in the room Thorne
leaped to his feet and ran with cat
like swiftness to the door, opened it,
and quickly but carefully examined
the corridor to make sure that no one
was there on duty. Then he closed
the door and turned to the nearest
window, which he opened also, and
looked out on the balcony, which he
saw was empty. He closed the win
dow and came back to the table, un-
buckling his belt and coat as he came.
These he threw on the table. The
coat fell back, and he glanced in the
breast pocket to see that a certain
document was in sight and at hand,
where he could get it quickly. Then
he took his revolver, which he had
previously slipped from his belt to
his hip pocket, and laid it down beside
the instrument.
After a final glance around him to
see that he was still alone and unob-
served, he seized the key, on which he
sounded a certain call. An expert
telegrapher would have recognized it,
dash, four dots in rapid succession.
then two dots together, and then two
more & .,.. e. -. He waited a
few moments, and when no answer
came he signaled the call a second
time, and after another longer wait he
sent it a third time.
After this effort he made longer
pause, and just as he had about
reached the end of his patience-he
was in a fever of anxiety, for upon
what happened in the next moment
the failure or the success of the whole
plan absolutely turned-the silent key
clicked out an answer, repeating the
same signal which he himself had
made. The next moment he made
leap upon the key, but before he could
send single letter steps were heard
outside in the corridor.
Thorne released the key, leaned
back in his chair seized match
from the little holder on the table and
struck it, and when another messen-
ger entered he seemed to be lazily |
lighting his cigar, He cursed in his |
heart az the inopportune arrival. An |
other uninterrupted moment and he
would have sent the order but as
usual he gave no outward evidence of
his extreme annoyance. The messen-
ger came rapidly down toward the
table and handed Captain Thorne a
message.
From the secretary of war. Cap
tain Thorne," he said saluting, "and
he wants it to go out right away"
Here, here" said Thorne, as the
messenger turned away, what's all
this?" He ran his fingers through the
envelope, tore it open, and spread out
the dispatch. "Is that the secretary's
signature?" he asked
The messenger came back.
Eyes, sir; saw him sign it my
self. I'm his personal messenger"
"Oh!" said Thorne, spreading the
out on the table and O.K.-ing

Yes, sir"

Butter In coIIapslbIe Tubes.

They want butter in collapsible
tubes in India. The heat is so intense
there that it is almost impossible to
pack butter in tubs or tins, as it is
fluid almost from the moment it is
made. Then, again, it spoils rapidly
when exposed to the hot, moist air.
This has seriously retarded the ef-

the dairy industry. So negotiations
are in progress with the makers of

HAS A PETRIFIED WATERFALL
World That Is Located in
Country of Algeria.

With all the beauty of a cataract OF
living water, there is in Algeria a re
markable petrifed waterfall which re-
Gently has been engaging the atteu-
ton of scientists. This is the Ham
mam-Meskhutin, which means The
bath of the damned" and is located 90
miles from Constantine. This solidified
cascade is the production of calcare-
Gus deposits from sulphurous and fer
ruginous mineral springs, issuing
from the depths of the earth at a tenn
perature of 95 degrees centigrade.
The bath of the damned" even
from near viewpoint, looks for all
the world like great wall of water
dashing into a swirling pool at its
foot, yet its cleaning, graceful curves
and the apparently swirling eddies at
its base are as fixed and immovable as
if carved from the face of a granite
cliff.
Many centuries have, of course,
gone to the making of the deposits,
and the springs were well known to
the ancient Romans. Thename Ham
mam-Meskhutin was given to the stone
, cataract in an allusion to a legend
that the waterfall was petrified by
llah, furnishing the impiety of un-

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

81 S. Wolfe ST., Baltimore, Md
my trouble was caused by a severe
sprained ankle; the bruised blood not
having been drawn off caused a skin
affection which the doctors pro-
nounced eczema. 1t first started with
an itching and burning, with very dry
skin. Constant scratching, especially
during the night finally broke the
skin, and during the day the watery
fluid that came from it would dry and
peel off like fish scales. My stocking
would stick to my ankle as if it were
glued. l also had it on my fingers.
Il was treated without getting any
benefit. l began using Cuticura Soap
and Ointment as directed and then ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment and bound
the ankle with a soft bandage, after
bathing it with Cuticura Soap. They
cured me in about two months. -

1t is one of the healthful signs Of
present day building that the interior
arrangement Of house is given more
attention and is considered more i'm
portant than is its exterior appear
ance. Home builders have outgrown
that period when matters of design
where regulated by what the neigh
bors would think.
A generation ago every house had to
have its front and back parlor; the
former preferably garnished with a
round tower bay window arrangement
on the corner and the exterior elab-
orately supplied with fancy orna-
ments, if the building was to command
any distinction at all in the commun-
ity; and all of this was to the general
detriment of the home interior
A modern house, on the other hand,
is designed to meet the needs of the
family life, providing rooms that are
well lighted, well ventilated, of proper
size and so arranged that the work
of house keeping may be reduced to
its lowest terms.
The architect draws his floor plans
and let's the exterior appearance large
ly take care of itself Yet, in spite of
this, the modern houses planned in
this way are far more attractive in
their general exterior appearance than
were the pretenious, over-ornamented
dwellings of old
Simplicity and directness are the
two first requirements for successful
design-elements which come strongly
into play in this present-day idea of
home planning.
In the accompanying design the
most important consideration was to
have the first floor so planned that
an impression Of spaciousness be
gained upon entering the front door;
at the same time it was desired that
the dining room and kitchen be sep
arated from the rest of the house at

brick fire place at the further end.
The dining room is reached by way
of broad doorway from the side of
the living room, double doors separat-
ing the two when desired.
Both the living room and dining
room are exceptionally well lighted,
the three window groups being both
attractive in appearance and efficient
for lighting and ventilation. 1t is sell
dom that one finds so good an arrange
ment as this in house Of square ont
line, which of course is the most eco
nomical to build. 1t is usually neces-
sary, in order to secure the desirable
features mentioned. to arrange part of
the rooms in an ell or otherwise COM
plicate the design.
The arrangement of the kitchen and
pantry will be seen to be very con-
venient for the preparation of meals.
On the second floor three large bed
rooms and a bathroom are provided.

REALLY A SOUND INVESTMENT
Sanatorium Where the tuberculosis

DR.. II. L. Barnes, superintendent Of

ed as apparently cured" from that in
stitution, that sanatorium is a sound
investment for any state or city. The
gross earnings of 10 ex-patients OBJ
tanned in 1911 amounted to $102,752,
and those of 211 cases in 1912 to $112,-
O21. By applying the same average
earning to all ex-patients Of the sana-
forum living in 1911 and 1912, DR..
Barnes concludes that their income in
these two years was 1851 900. This
sum is more than three times the cost
of maintenance Of the sanatorium in
Guiding interest at per cent. on the
