VIOLET RAYS AS FOOD KEEPER

London, Feb. 12.-"Food kept in ul-
tra-violet rays dring the hot weather,
may be shopkeeper's announcement
in the future, according to the Lancet,
and it is further suggested that the
filter may be superseded by the silent
electric discharge.
There can be little doubt that the
study of the action of ultraviolet rays
or of the silent discharge is leading to
interesting developments which may
Tossess great practical Importance, .
says the writer. 1.-THE application of
ultraviolet rays to the sterilization Of
water supplies furnishes an example,
although it appears probable that there
is still room for improvements in this
application in order to make the pro-
cess a completely efficient one.
"The extension of this principle 70
Fle preservation of both liquid and solid
foods is also foreshadowed, although
here considerable difficulty is encoun-
tered owing to the opaqueness of the
materials to the radiations. A process
of preservation of perishable foods, in
dependent of the use of chemicals,
about the innocence of which there is
doubt, would obviously be valuable
discovery to the community"
1t Is also suggested that brewing
will be carried on by electricity, the
mash tub being replaced by the con-
verter.

MONUMENT TO POETS
GIVEN TO AUGUSTA
Mrs. Cole of Nashville Pre-.
SGntS Handsome Gift

Augusta, Ga, Feb. 12.-Mrs. E. w.
Cole of Nashville, Tenn, farmerly Miss
Anna Russell, daughter of the first
Democratic mayor of Augusta after the
Civil War, Hon. Henry F. Russell, has
presented to the city of Augusta
magnificent monument to four famous
poets of Georgia: James r. Randall.
Father Ryan, Sidney Lanier and Paul
Hayne.
The monument was almost complet-
ed before anyone at Augusta, with the
exception of very few, had any init
nation of it, and it will be unveiled at
an early date, when is likely some
of the most famous men in the coun-
try will take part in the exercises.
1t is likely the ceremonies will take
place few days before the meeting
of the Women's Congress at Atlanta,
so that President Wilson, a personal
friend of Mrs. Cole, will be enabled to
attend the ceremonies at Augusta.
The memorial to the four bards will
cost approximately $4,000. 1t will stand
in Greene street, in front of st. Johns
Methodist Church, of which Mr.. Rus
sell was deacon and one of the
greatest churchmen.
Paul Hayne was born in 1880 and
died in SO; Father Ryan was born III
1889 and died in $50; Sidney Lanier
was born in 1912 and died in 81;
James R. Randall was born IN 1889
and died in 1908.

Hep would pat his head and reward him cheerfulIy.

That's how good that lads
French is-poor nut.
AS a matter Of fact, Hep
knows exactly nine ordinary
French words, including incest
pas and avec plaisir, but he has
memorized the name of every
street in Paris.
So when Hep exhausts his
nine ordinary words he begins
to use up the streets. He
rushes, regardless of speed linn
it's, all over the city of Paris.
Out to Vaugirard, over to the
Batignoles, to Clichy, by Rues
and side-streets to the eastern
Boulevard Beaumarchais and
st. Denis, then across lots to
the western Boulevard des Ital-
lens, then into the high and off
through the Place de la Con-
corde, around corners on one
wheel into the Champs Elysees
and on and on with the muffler
off-it's immense!
However, as l was saying
some time ago, Peaches and l
dined with Hep and he handed
us few lessons in the gentle
pastime of tipping, he surely
did.
From the very moment we en-
tered the aristocratic beanery
he began the giving of aims.
The attendant at the revolv-
ing doors imprisoned a nice old
lady in cell No. 8 and kept her
there, cut off from communica-
tion with the world, while he
waited for Hep. to dig in his
jeans for the customary QUAR-
ter.

terly he has to sprinkle the
room with tip-money in order tc
square himself.
Hep loves to squeeze into 6
French cafe, grab a French
menu card, and in a confidential
tone give an order like this to
the French waiter: "Avec le
beaucoup pomme de terre. Don.
nez moi de leau chaude je vais
me raser. Avec get a move or
you!"
In a French hour and a hall
the French waiter hurries back
with a culinary melodrama
wherein each swallow is thrill
and every new course a climax,
and Hep, believing it is all due
to his knowledge of the French
language, swells up with pride
and begins to toss money into
the air.
Hep doesn't know it, but
while he's spilling that Schenec.
tady French all over the table
cloth the waiter is getting a
stone bruise on his palate from
holding back his Partisan laugh
ter.
Hep would wrinkle his mar
with anger if he heard me, but
I've been present when he has
blurted out some of his French
idioms with the ossified accent,
and it's a scream, | notify you
On one memorable occasion
he ordered lamb chops and a
baked potato in French. The
waiter bowed, said "Oui,
M'sieu." and brought him a
bowl of vegetable soup and the
morning paper.

they both came smilingly to the
surface Battling Bill clutched
a fifty-cent piece in his West
phalia and the procession moved
| on.
Then from some dark recess
or niche in the wall something
in brass buttons and with a
whisk broom in it's hand darted
out like a pickerel and pointed
the whisk broom at Hep. The
latter pointed a quarter at the
something in brass buttons,
whereupon the brass buttons
and the whisk broom darted
away again, thereby bringing to
a conclusion the incident Of the
pickerel.
AS we approached the coat
room the girl in charge was seen
to close her eyes in prayer. She
didn't open them again until
after Hep had explained to her
that if she spent the money he
gave her for new hat she
wouldn't have to give it to the
income-taX gatherers. Where
upon she was glad and showed
her gum-chewing instruments.
Then she glanced at the inside
OF my hat to see if it was ex-I
pensive and sighed deeply as we
passed on.
AT the door Of the soup room
we were met by Effendi Bey,
the head waiter.
Hep whispered something to
Effendi, but the Bey wasn't
listening. He was looking at
Hep's hand which he knew must

contain money. 1t always did,
Hep gave Effendi a flash at a
Treasury note. With the swift
ness of thought the money
changed hands, whereupon Eff
fendi Bey began to hum, "In my
harem-my dinkly little har-
emf and turned us over to
Murad Pasha, one of his lieuten-
ants.
Murad Pasha led us to a ta-
BILE and stood there-counting
the spoons until Hep could find

another pocket containing
money.
Then Murad Pasha, clutching
his share of the plumber, with
many bows and obeisances,
faded out Of our lives and Clio
vanni Handsandfeeti, the omni-
bus, began to splash water into
our glasses.
Hep got rid of Giovanni by
stalking him to enough money to
enable his little. brother Angelo
to get through college, and

JOHN HENRY ON TIPPING


~ AY! did you ever make up
~ your mind not to do any
more tipping? And have
you noticed how quickly you're
forced to take the makeup off ?
In a Big Town nowadays tip
ping is as necessary as a traf-
fic cop. Only by the aid Of one
or both can you make any prog
ress OF get anywhere.
And the battle cry in each
case is Hands up"
It's so in this country today
that before a thoughtful man
cushion-caroms through the
merry-go-round doors of a swell
hotel he has to leave his pocket
book on the sidewalk if he
doesn't want to lose it.
On the other side, across the
Big Pond. if a hotel employee
does you a little favor and you
slip him tuppence ha'penny or a
pfennig he will smile back at
you and be much obliged for
five minutes.
But in this country if you tip
anybody with a couple Of pen
nies the chances are you'll wake
up in the nearest hospital and
find a kind-hearted but not very
pictorial nurse leaning over you
and whispering, Keep callum,
now, keep cool and calluml The
doctor says you will recover ev-
erything except your watch if
he can find a small piece of the
medulla oblongata which was
removed from the northeastern
part of your bean when the bell
boy soaked you with the ice
pitcher!'
1t takes a brave man to save
his money these days.
Hep Hardy is one of those
reckless tip-tossers. He thinks
that all silver money should
have a smooth surface, thereby
making it easier to slip a coin
to waiter.
He is what the laurajeans
would call a pepper box of prod
igality.
Hep hands out baksheesh
like an absent-rninded farmer
sowing grain.
Hep's trail through a Big
Town looks as though the CASH
ier Of five and ten cent store
was walking to the bank and
had hole in the canvas bag.
When Hep starts out to pound
a public road with his rowdy-
cart all the walters in every
hash-foundry within sound of
his siren fall flat on their faces
and yell, 'Hallelujah. payday
is here again."
Peaches and ] dined with Hep
at Saint Astorvilt Hotel night
before last. Hep likes to dine
there because the walters are
French and when he tries to say
Good EVENING"" III their native
tongue he insults them so bit

By Geo. v. Hoba5

thereafter for a period of ten or
fifteen minutes Hep was permit
ted to breathe quietly through
his nose, and his pocketbook en-
joyed a much-needed rest.
Soon, however, another
coughing fit came on and his
struggles for breath were pitt
full.
One of Effendi Bey's lieuten-
ants, made up to look like Ivan
the Terrible, strobe up to our ta-
BILE to inquire if a waiter had
taken our order. Hep told him
no, but Ivan couldn't believe it.
Ivan was firm in his disbelief
until Hep gave him money, then
he saw the light and went JOY
ously away from there.
Presently waiter arrived
who in some other incarnation
must have been a pirate on the
Spanish Main.
He had a chin which was di.
vided against itself, and a fore
head which was retreating hur
riedly on the fourth speed.
One look at Captain Kidd anc
! knew that Hep's desire to die
poor but popular would be real
lied.
All the time the Captain was
taking our order he was sizing
us up and hoping in Portuguese
that Helps eyesight wasn't gooc
so he could short-change him.
Finally the deadly Rover o.
the Seas decided to give us oul
food first and make us walk tht
plank afterwards. Then he bore
away, SOU by sou'east, for tht
kitchen where he dropped
anchor and sharpened his board
ing irons.
In the meantime, while VIZ
awaited the return of the Pirate
King, our friend Hep was busy
tipping.
Every time he took a cigar
cite from his case four eager
walters would dash forward
with lighted matches and Hep
desiring to show no partiality
would slip a coin to each of the
Mexican guerillas.
One shark Of a waiter swan
around in the offing and every
time Hep's serviette dropped
from his knees to the floor the
shark would retrieve it and as
he came to the surface with the
serviette in his teeth Hep would
pat his head and reward hin
cheerfully.
1t was one continuous orgie OF
tipping until finally we left the
Prunes Palace with Captain
Kidd gloating over the pieces OF
eight which Hep lad given him
and singing to himself, ooh, he
"a bottle Of rum on a dead
mans chestP'
Hep insisted upon taking us
home in taxi so that he could
tip the starter and the chauf-
feur.
We stopped in the drug store
at our home corner to mail some
letters and even there Hep
found a weighing machine and
tipped the scales,
There are ginks like Hep in
every Big Town, going through
the night like a cyclone through
the sub-treasury, scattering
pocket money right and left like
so much chaff simply because
they want to be looked upon as
High Glass Sports.
And it's hard to follow their
act. It's rough shedding for the
Sensible Lads who are willing to
pay for services rendered, but
balk at the myriad of out
stretched paws which line the
