CARRIED AS EVE,
SHE WILL ROAM
ALONE IN W|LDS
Daring Girl viii Take No Pro-
visions or Firearms on Two
Months Adventure.
DOES NOT SEEK N0T0RIETY
Declares She Will Return to Civ
iIization Fully CIad-Is Ex-
pert in Woodcraft.

PORTLAND, Maine, Feb. t.
CARRIED only in the original attire OF
Mother Eve, Miss Bana Douglass, of
Stratton, will enter the dense woods
of Franklin County and remain there
two months some time this year. She
will take neither weapons. clothing
nor provisions, but will trust to her
woodcraft and her knowledge of game
to enable her to live. She is a fear
less ranger of the forests, and her
friends say she will accomplish her
difficult task.
Miss Douglass declares she will en-
ter the forests of her native county
as scantily clad as when she was
born, and will come forth at the END
of the two months fully clothed In
such garb as she can obtain In the
woodlands.
Fear of no modern Actaeon seems
to enter her mind Miss Douglass
greatly prefers the woods and fields
and streams, with their hunting, free
dom and fishing, to love romance.
Learned From Father.
Since childhood the girl has fol-
lowed her father hundreds of miles In
the woods. has absorbed his fund OF
wood lore and has studied the for
ests and inland waters with their
teeming life. The father Is an ex-
pert shot trapper. fisherman and
guide, and Just now he, another man
and Miss Douglass are across the Ca
madam border on shooting trip.
Miss Douglass knows every kind oil
tree and bird and animal to be found
in the Dead River region of this
State: knows every sort of animal oil
the field and river banks, and every
variety of fish frequenting Carrabas-
sett River and the south and north
branches of the Dead River itself, in
her home district. She knows al
their habits and peculiarities and has
no fear Of life alone among them for
! two months.
To Guard Against lntruders.
From her home town north to the
Canadian border no pond, stream OF
trail is unknown to this twentieth
century Diana. and the crack of her
rife almost always brings down that
at which she aims. With her knoWl-
edge of the woods and game, ability
with a gun and endurance, she is
ideally equipped for her coming ad-
venture
Miss Douglass last summer carried
the malls over the rural route from
Stratton to and through neighoorins
settlements for upward of rs miles
and in all sorts of weather and under
many difficulties. She Is not Of large
| frame. but is strong and agile. the
simple life of the backwoods serving
in the 20 years of her life to conserve
her strength and build up a rugged
! constitution
| The girl seeks no notoriety In the
venture she will make, and in all
probability the outside world VIII

ST. VALENTINES BAY.

An amusing feature is to place a little mound of candy notices on the table At the top of the mound is a little gilt Cupid. Each person is given a turn to try to take a motto from the pile with a pair of candy tongs. The one who oyerthr9Ws Cupid is out of the game. The pile is rebuilt each time and the success ful contestant receives a & Rrlze-
 As Cupid is painted blind, offer prize to the one who can write in ten minutes the most original reason Why Cupid is 'b1ind?" Or have each one write an original comic valentine describing one of the guests of the opposite sex. A prize is given to the one who ggesses the most names Of the persons referred to and another to the one who proposes the most humorous valentine.
 Partners may be matched for sup per by writing names of famous low CTS on heartshaped cards, such as Romeo and Juliet, Paul and Virginia, etc.
 The table illustrated has pink color scheme. A crepe paper founce designed in hearts and boWknots is used and adds much to the appear ance of the table.
 A simple but effective central dec- oration is the mail box, which can be made of an ordinary paSteboard box covered with pink crepe paper, dec-
  lettered in gilt. The favors are con- cealed in this box. These are tied to narrow pink ribbon which leads to each place.
 The cand1esticks are adorned with Cupids and hearts. For ice cups there are glasses of papers, cups with wide stems covered with pink paper rose petals, having the stem and base of green paper Two Cupids cut out of pink mat board hold the cup. Little heartshaped paper cups covered with ruffles of pink crepe paper and drawn by little Cupids holding paper hearts are receptacles for the nuts. The heartshaped bonbons are also in little heartshaped boxes decorated ! with Cupids. The place cards are pink mat board Cupids, holding little envelopes containing original verses predicting the guests future matri- monial fate Envelopes with little heart seals are at each place and these inclose blank cards for the i guests, when seated, to write a des- cription of their future ideal husband OI. wife

THE RADlUM TREATMENT.

The warnings which are being is- sued against quaekery in connection with the merits and use of radium are capable of rendering great and needed service, As in all such dis ceyeries from which it is possible that much lasting good will result, there is always that inclination to profitable business by those who look upon the gullible public as common prey regardless of the question of results.
 The possibilities of radium are as vet unknown, but as in all instances where study is being made of diseases marked by high death rate, some of the hardest cases, and therefore the least likely to be cured, have been pre- scented for treatment Such an in stance is to be found in the case of Congressman Bremner of New Jersey to save whose life every idea concern ing the use of rFdium for the treat ment of cancer was exhausted with out success It was treatment of last resort which when used in cases dur ing the early stages has had opposite effect.
 It is evident that as the result of similar cases ofA both types that as yet the knowledge of the power of ra- dium is limited That 1t may yet be the means of overcoming much sui fering and the prevention of many deaths is to be sincerely h2ped Wfth all it's failures and successes, how ever, it is still in&its early stages, but whatever promise sit holds out to suf- fering humanity. it. should not be used to guarantee cIress, simply for the f. nancial returns. when the progress thus far made does5 not warrant it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Problem Under the x-Ray.

hC TOIteiffl OnoST NVG N- nay
 MT. Editor: Your correspondent. c. II. Talcott, seems to have a faculty for discovering difficult arithmetical prob lems which he manipulates with evil dent facility and satisfactien-to him. self. The one he elucidated in your columns lastly Is not a new one, eX- cept in appearance, we having met it years ago mssQuerading in the garb of a regiment on the march, whose colonel was to gallop from its front to the rear and return, within g. given distance. As MT. TaIcott finds it. the regiment has been extended to the incredible length of 2S miles, and hence the col onel and his horse must be dispensed with and substituted by a messenger. This, however, does not alter, only the terms of the proposition, which is fair one for solution. The critic, like death, loves shining mark" and your correspondent, above named, be- ing mathematician of local repute, 1t is with unaSsumed nervousness we adjust the focus of our instrument to test his solution. This dene we have developed @ negative that we think is reliable. We find that he has fallen into the same error which he attributes to the students of Harvard, that of not catching the nature of the proposition. MT. Talcott, we are sure. on mature thought, will not stake his reputation ns an arithmetician on the assertion that any roposition-properly stated is susceptible of more than one cor rect answer, and yet this is what he says of this one. There is nothing ambiguous about this problem The line of march and the army are of equal length, hence it has to move one length of itself (2S miles)- The mes senger, starting at the rear, has to reach the head, and return 10 the rear, completing his trip simultaneously with that of the army line.
 Although it is not so stated in words, the conditions of the problem assumed that the movements of the line and the messenger shall be uniform. If the messenger were supposed to run and catch uL With the head of the line al any poirt in it's march, and then walk back at lis leisure, or stand until the rear of the line caught up with him there would be no problem at all. It is evident then that a certain ratio must exist petWeen the velocity of the line and that of the messenger, in order that both shall complete their march at the same point. This being the case, this difference must be deducted rom the messengers progress on his advance trip, but added to it on his r"rurn. The problem precludes any answer not meeting these conditions. Turning to MT Talcott's diagram, we see that the messenger has proceeded 2S miles while the army line has only pcaceeded 5. and at such a difference

ACCURACY AT THE POLLS.

Whether Middletown realizes it or not 1t has experienced one of the best lessons in behalf of the accurate count at elections. If there is one time when accuracy should prevail it is when the expression of the will of the people is being recorded. Under the system of balloting in this state where machines are not used, every election reveals the fact that hundreds of electors are deprived of their vote ei- ther through their own fault or through the inability of the counters to interpret properly the voters inten- lions. Such throws a lack of confi- dence about the elections where the paper ballots are used and whether Justified or not it was only the nat ural result of the contest in Middle town where the successful candidate won by only ten votes, that there should be a request for a recount. The effort failed, but it indicates the feel ing of uncertainty which surrounds the close election results, and which must continue to exist when it is un derstood how easily the man with a ballot which requires marking can dis franchise himself.
 The situation in AIiddletown is no uluefenI lhan Tn any clly where lh1s method of voting is in use and cleo tors will continue to vote for nobody or for someone not intended in the belief that their ballot has been counted for those intended. until this pitfall for disfranchisement is re- moved and assurance given that not only will, the vote be counted but it will be counted as cast and as intend ed, which is the guarantee of the vot- ing machine. Norwich stands in the peculiar position of having remeded this for town elections but the city continues and adds to the confusion by retaining the Australian ballot.

SHEEP AND DOGS.

Connecticut is not the only state where sheep raising might be made profitable and it is not alone in rec IogniZing the detriment which dogs are, not only to that industry but to other livestock as well as to human fife There has been much legislation against the dog and some for the re- imbursement of the farmers who ex- perience losses from their raids, but it does not overcome the difficulty or supply the farmers with the courage to engage in sheepraising in a man ner which they would be willing to if there was some effort to eliminate and a reasonable assurance against this menace. It is a well known fisct that sheep killing dogs have placed a great drawback on this business.
 In the state of Virginia where it is stated that in some sections the rais- ing of sheep would be extremely prof itable, if not the most profitable in- vestment possible. legislation is to be undertaken to prohibit the running at large of dogs and providing a penalty for violations thereof
 There is no question but what any state is justified in doing it's utmost to give protection of this character to the farmers. Dogs which rove about the country whether homeless or not are worthless to their owners and to everyone else, and the quicker those who suffer from the harm which they do can be relieved of it the quicker will there be a revival of the business of sheepraising and greater safety through the disappearance of stray dogs. The tramp dog is usually of a character which deserves few friends However much sheepraising has given way to the dogs, it is time it was stopped

FOR FLOWERS.

The flower holders that have the most beauty are not necessarily those that cost the most. Fish bowls make admirable flower holders. So do the big pressed glass baskets. Sometimes their handles are wound with velvet ribbon, in some pale and lovely shade, which is tied in loose. Hopping bow at the top Of the handle.
 One of the wire frames that keep flowers erect is of great help to the woman who would make the most of her flowers. These cost from 10 to 20 cents each. One with eight or ten stems. each ending in little wire cir cle to hold q flower. win be found most useful.
 It is q good idea to have q box of sand on hand to use in arranging flowers. When you use wire holder anchor it firmly in the bottom of the dish with a handful of sand Then put each remaining flower in position Fill up the remaining circles with green of some kind, and stick in d few sprigs of green about the edge of the vase or howl to hide the holder
 The Japanese metal flower holders need no covering. They are delight

NEW ENGLAND ROADS.

It can hardly be expected that bus mess men of New England will give very cordial welcome to the investiga- ton to be started anew by the senate of the United States over the New Haven system. Rather like the action in the west might it he anticipated that the business of this section would express it's opposition to the disturb ance which has been caused and urge action in behalf of reconstruc- tion.
 As the Boston Transcript we'll says: Tt is a rather singular circumstance that senatoEs from the other side of the country should appear to be the most zealous for a more searching in vestigation of the past management of the New Haven railroad The chief concern upon that point natur- ally centres in New England, and it looks to the Interstate Commerce Commission to take such steps as are necessary. Just now there is a great CT desire to see what can be done for the future than tov rake over the past That is what the commission is for and it declares that no new investi- gation would add anything to the facts already In it's possession. Messrs. ~Nb4 ID oiIo AOOi S1l4 eSpCScb4 tO bC SOIHS a long way from home to find ques- tions for the exercise of their states manship. The kind We would like to see given effect now is something of a really constructive character
 There is an excellent service which can be performed by the government in aiding the railroad systems in New England to get onto their feet That is something which would prove of constructive value to each and every state. Regardless of the many rail- road problems in the west the sena- tors from that section seem to be unnecessarily interested in the east just a present.

THE CHINESE REPUBLIC.

Times are uncertain in the Chinese republic, the most youthful of this form of government, and through which So much has been expected in behalf of China. It was realized from the first that it was no easy task which was undertaken in the estab- lishment of the republic of China. It meant one of the greatest changes which that country had ever under gone and there were likewise great ad- vantages portrayed if ths country could be made To realize and accept the benefits of self government,
 There have begun t9 be, however, indications that all Is not going as well as expected in the east For some time there have been signs of departure from constitutional govern ment and manifestation that Presi dent Yuan is disposed to take matters into his own hands. This has been strengthened hy the latest erder which dissolves all the district councils in

FOR A WARM BED.

There are lots of people who say they can't sleep with their windows open wide at night because, no mat ter how many blankets are on the bed they become chilled from the air dur ing the night.
 This is very simply and easily remedied. The chilling comes from beneath the bed. The mattress and the linen or cotton sheet retain lit tie heat and are easily penetrated by the air from the window
 Try spreading a wooden blanket underneath the bottom sheet. The blanket beneath will keep the body's heat from escaping downward as the blankets on top keep 1t from escaping above. You will be surprised to see how snug and warm the bed becomes.

The best way to protect the face from tan and sunburn is through ap- plying cold cream, over which is put a generous coating of powder. If one is careful to wipe off the excess cream and to rub the powder into the skin smoothly it will not show. Always do this before going out into the sun and wind, and especially if going to a trip on the water. Remember that it is much easier to prevent tan and sunburn than it is to get rid of them after they are once acquired.
