now, as a result of tidal measurements

Rockers on Baby Coach.

In the manufacture of baby coaches
marked advance was made few years

could be folded into compact space,
enabling parents to take it upon trolley
cars and trains, thus availing them

The convenience of these folding per-
has been still further in

Odd Life Preserver.

One Of the latest substitutes for the
ordinary life preserver is a curious de-
vice which, when extended for use, has
a shape assembling that of bowling
pin. 1t is intended to be entered by a
single person and in that case keeps the
user entirely dry, but it is claimed that
its buoyancy is so great that, in case
of catastrophe, as many as 20 persons
can be supported for an indefinite
period by hangling to the loops around
the lower part of the hood.

With view to increasing the com

bracket that supports it in that posi-

EflGH blood pressure is not disease
H 1t is simply symVom of certain
conditions in the body, and
it usually indicates a wearing ont of
certain vital organs. Neither is high
blood pressure a new disorder. We
are hearing much about it just now
on account of the recent perfecting of
simple instruments for measuring the
human blood pressure. These instru-
ments enable us to tell the big, healthy
(?) man that he is in a dangerous
condition, and that unless he changes
his habits of living he is certain to
fall victim either to sudden death,
or to one of several serious diseases.
High blood pressure is caused pri
marily by an excess of poisons in the
blood With rare exceptions, these
poisons come mainly from the food
The man with high blood pressure
overeats or eats indigestibe foods.
In this way he keeps the blood con-
stantly overloaded with poisons, either
from the undigested food that fer
ments and decomposes in the bowels,
or from the digested food that can
not be used and eliminated. Add to
these poisons, the poisons of tobacco,
alcoholic drinks and coffee, and we
have the source of the poisons in
nearly all cases Of high blood pres
sure.
Neglect Of the care Of the skin, in:
sufficient air and lack of muscular
exercise, all prevent the elimination of
these poisons, and all these, together
with the failure to reduce food as age
advances and the kidneys become less
active, contribute toward establishing
high blood pressure.
As the blood pressure increases the
heart is tremendously overworked and
the kidneys and arteries are subjected
to constantly increasing strain. U.s.
ually as result sooner or later either
the heart will give out and death re-
suit from heart failure, or the kid

Foot Attachment for Automobile Jacks

"Jaeking up" an automobile is an
easy matter, so far as mere muscular
exertion is CONCERNED, when a modern
jack is used. But the operation is often
marred by the dust and grease which
are almost inseparable adjuncts. A de-
vice which enables the motorist to
avoid these consequences, by operating
any auto jack with his foot, is the
product of Chicago manufacturer,

Marvels of Everyday Science


"A NEWLY devised pack of playing

of curved strips of wood with grooves
and slots for the purpose of securing
them to the wheels. One rocker extends
from one of the front wheels to the
other and the second bridges the rear
wheels. There are convenient means of
quickly securing the rockers IN place
and the result is very serviceable

sease will supervene, or the arteries will
degenerate and paralysis will follow

High blood pressure acts as powerful
stimulant, and hence this process of or

up to the time of death and the victim
may still insist that he is in the best

nHILDREN who are too small to
~ walk out of doors nearly always
suffer from cold feet, but this will
never happen if mothers will wrap the
plump little limbs of their youngest in
a bag cover, which may be made as
follows:
The size of the cover must vary
according to the shape of mail or push
cart which baby uses. Take careful
measurements and then cut an oblong
piece Of cloth, making it twice the
length you require the bag.
For lining you will need piece of
satin or sateen cut two inches smaller
each way than the cloth and wadded
with thickness of cotton wool. This
must be stitched firmely to the cloth,
Then double the whole thing and sew
up the sides so as to form a bag.
Cut a piece of cloth two and half
inches larger all the way round than
one side of the big, scallop it with
silk to match the cloth and lay it on
the front of the bag, stitching it firm
ly. If you like you can also work
baby's initials in the corner, surround
ed by some simple floral decoration.
Last of all add small brass ring
to each upper corner, sewing it on very
firmly. When baby's legs are snug
between the layers of cotton wool and
the rings are slipped over two hooks
screwed at the back of the cart you
will have good cause to feel satisfied
with your handiwork,

The presence of the German army
outside the gates of Paris recalls the
siege Of 1870 and 1871 in the Franco
Prussian war, which figures as one of
the most dramatic episodes in the his
tory of the city.
The siege began September 10,
1870, and continued with great famine
and suffering to the French until De-
cember II, when a bombardment of
the city began. On January 81 an
armistice was signed, and the city was
re-provisioned The Germans entered
Paris on March 1.
Paris was defended in this siege by
a ring of detached forts and was gar
risoned mainly by national guardsmen
and mobile force. 1t was not prop
erly victulated, but energetic meas
ures which were taken enabled it to
hold out for four months.
Since there there has been added to
the old Notifications an exterior line
of forts and on the line of these new

that he has acquired a most amusing
misconception of the function of a
lady's bonnet. Who ever supposed
that utility was requirement of
feminine headgear?
But the new military modes will
have other than merely ornamental
uses. The honest working girl, her
hat adorned with small but keen

young man who wonders if he didn't
meet her somewhere before. She is

calvary charge on an undefended

hard to show, but no kind-hearted

absurdly impractical to consider. How
