ANNOYED AT HIS GOOD LUCK
Travellers Railing at the Perversity

Tillman.

Senator Tillman rashly declared
some time ago that the frying OF
chicken was lost art in Washington,
and ever since that day he has been
deluged with Washington fried chick
en- by parcel post. He had no idea
that Washington housewives were so
sensitive.
Il am now converted" he said re-
Gently. L now admit that Washing
ton fried chicken is superb. But still
every mail brings me more and more
pullets and capons and yearlings. My
case is as hopeless as the commu-
ter's.

wreck. The collision had been head
on, four coaches were teIescoped.
flames burst forth, the shrieks and
creams of the dying mingled with the
hiss of escaping steam and the roar
of the fire.
The commuter, black as a coal,
was dragged out by the feet from IN
der mound of charred and mangled
corpses.
"A physician bent over him anxi
Ously.

MOST SUITABLE FOR HOUSE
Hardy Fern an Ornament That Will
Show Its Beauty for Many
Months.

The hardy fern with glossy leaves is
a much better plant for the table than
the delicate fernlike ferns. 1t be-
comes a life struggle" for any vari-
ETY. of fern in the dry and heated at
mosphere Of a house, and SO one
should select only the hardest for ia
bic decoration.
1t is we'll to be sure that there are
enough holes in the receptacle in
which the fern is planted to afford
good drainage.
Ferns thrive best in moist atmos-
phere, and this congenial atmosphere
can, with very little trouble, be pro-
vided for even the table fern. Have
a case made of four pieces of window
glass set in a wooden frame, sufficient
ly large to cover one or more ferns
without brushing their sensitive
fronds. After sprinlling the leaves
(do not pour water on the soil in this
instance) plentifuIly with water, place
the case, which has no bottom, over
the fern, and allow it to remain thus
over night. In the morning take the
fern out and place near an open win
dow for a few minutes, so that it may
breathe" the fresh air. A small
glass showcase, a large glass bowl or
an aquarium would, of course, serve
the same purpose.

PEMPLEs ON FACE AND ARMS

All Howard St., Dayton, Ohio

afflicted with pimples and blackheads
Ny pimples would get very large and
appear to come to a head. If l tried
to open them the pain would be terri

them. They itched very badly; l suf-
fered terribly from itching. After
scratching, the pimples would swell
and after the swelling was gone my
face would become very red and re-
main so for some time. Ny clothing
caused the itching to be worse. When
it was warm it was utterly impossible
to sleep.

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

AS old age advances we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made Of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
in the barley which changes the starch
into a most digestible sugar.
The phosphates also, placed u IN
der the outer-coat of the wheat, are
included in Grape-Nuts, but are lick
ing in white -four because the on .er-
coat Of the wheat darkens the -four
and is left out by the miller. The ge
natural phosphates are necessary to
the well-baIanced building of muscle,
brain and nerve cells.

Iowa man, for 6 years and feel as
good and am stronger than I was ten

Among my customers I meet a man
every day who is well along in years
and attributes his good health to
Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has
used for the last 5 years. He mixes
Grape-Nuts with Postum and says
they go fine together.
OF many years De1OTe began 70
eat Grape-Nuts, | could not say that l
enjoyed life or knew what it was to be
able to say I am we'll I suffered
greatly with constipation, but now my
habits are as regular as ever in my

fills the bill. l can think and write a

EIGHT-H0UR SYSTEM FOR HIM
One Wonders What This OId-Fash-
Toned Farmer Did With the Rest
of His Time.

Farmers, thank goodness, take life
a little easier, thanks to their various
unions and combinations, than they
used to do"
The speaker was John H. Kimble OF
Port Deposit, secretary Of the Farm
ers' National congress, an organiza-
ton of 100000 farmers. He con
tinued:
Farmers are not nowadays like old
Cornelius Husk. A new hand said to
the old man one morning in the har-
vest season.:
I suppose you believe in the eight
hour system, Corney?'
That's what l do, grunted old
Corn Husk, as he swung his pitch
fork vigorously. Eight hours in the
forenoon, eight hours in the after
noon, and two or three hours over
time after supper in the hay and har-
vest seasor-that's my system

If possible, make your own petit

silk, satin, pongee or washable fabric
can be used, deeper seams can be Ia

can be secured, and, Of course, i'm

Crepe de chine is one Of the fav-
ored fabrics, giving clinging lines eZ-
celle1t wear and a novelty that is al
ways attractive. Crepes de chine are
purchasable in washable varieties in
all coIors. They combine exceIlently
with fine or coarse 1aces and are
easily plated, retaining the accordion
or knife plaitings for gratifying
length Of time.
Petticoats must be well fitted over
the hips and constructed on straight
lines. A slight fullness is allowable
at the back. for suits and dresses are
showing gathers here and no bulkiness
under straight panels need be feared.
To give ease of walking, petticoats are
showing slashes at the side.

FISHING for Fish.

Many people there are who delight
in just fishing for fish. Such Z one
was John Quincy Adams. The story
was told by one of his clients, whose
case was to be tried on certain
morning, that he could not get his
counsel to leave his fishing boat eX-
cept long enough to write a note to
the judge which read: Dear Judge
For the sake of Izaak Walton please

smelt are biting, and ! can't leave. "
And the Judge having read the note,
announced to the court: Mr.. Adams

EMBLEM OF A NOBLE WORK
Double Red Cross. Symbol Of War
Against Tuberculosis, Was De-
vised BY French Doctor.

The double red cross, the symbol Of
the war against tuberculosis, was
first adopted as the symbol Of the In
ternatonaI AnttTubercuIosis associa-
ton in Berlin in October, 1902. The
proposer Of the symbol was Dr.. &.
Seriron OF Paris who is now asso-
ciated secretary Of L.AssociatiOn Cen
trale Franchise Coutre Ia TUberculo-
sis. Today the emblem used by anti
tuberculosis workers in every part OF
the world even in Iceland, India,
South Africa, Labrador, Japan, China
and the Philippines. The double
red cross is similar in shape to
a cross used frequently in the
Greek Catholic churches, and also
to the Lorrain cross of France.
In the United States over 1900 anti
tuberculosis associations and com
mittees, nearly $50 sanatoria and hos
pitfalls: 400 dispensaries and about zoe
open air schools. besides a number of
other organization, are using the
double red cross as their emblem
Wherever it is seen, it means war

To Loosen Knots.

To loosen knots in harness, straps,
cords, ropes, or even shoestrings,
hammer the knot on all sides with
mallet or a, piece of wood, turning the
strap OF rope around, then dip in boil
ing water, holding it there a minute or
two, according to size Of kIot to be
Ioosened. Before doing SO add a little
soap to the water, then with a sharply
pointed instrument pick the knot
loose. It can often be done with the
fingers. Knots that have been pulled
il harness or ropes for months or
years can be Ioosened readily
