Maintenance Of Health.

We no longer live in the old simple
outdoor conditions in which our ia
theirs existed. What sufficed for them
won't suffice for US. Habits of liv-
ing which sustained them in health
sustain US in illness. We live in
doors. We are always at high ten
sion. Conditions are infinitely more
complicated. We are sedentary. Food,
drink and other habits which served
we'll in the out of doors for the pur-
poses of a farmer will not serve at
all for the present-day factory en-
ployee who lives and works indoors.
Nothing is more badly needed in the
country than that our boys and girls
now growing up past the knee may
be trained in the science and arts that
make and maintain health. II they
have not that, academic knowledge

Life In the FalkIando,

There are worse places on which 70
be wrecked than the Falkland islands,
where the Liverpool steamer Oravia
foundered. The inhabitants Of Fort
Stanley are a prosperous race. noted
for their hospitality. Living is cheap
in the islands. and all kinds Of Eng
lish fruits and vegetables abound
there. There are, however, two great
drawbacks to life in the Falklands.
The climate is never really warm, and
fires have to be kept up all the year
round. Servants are procured with
difficulty. Most people import them
from England; but as English girls
are frequently snapped up and mar

minister of foreign affairs, Is Sicilian
nobleman of Norman descent, with q
consistent hatred of Austria. notwith-
standing the fact that Italy was sup
posedly Austrias friend. He has lived
sixty-one years. more than half OF
which have been spent in public life.
First, undersecretary In the ministry
of agriculture, he was transferred IN
q subordinate capacity to the foreign
Office. In 1899 he was made postmas-
ter-general, a position that seems to
have been little to his liking. In 1905.
however, he gained the post he long
had sought and became minister for
foreign affairs. He spent much time
in the United States in 1904, attend
ing the Interparliamentary union at
st. Louis as president Of the Italian
delegation. As a result OF the italian
Turkish war the king of Italy created
him a knight Of the Order of the An

JUST TO DIVERT ATTENTION
Negro Girl Had Excellent Reason fos
Head Ornament That Looked
Strange.

One morning Mrs. Wilmington's ct.
tention was attracted by strange
spectacle coming up the street. At
that distance she could not quite make
It out; it appeared to be some sort OF
animal with q headlight fastened to
its forehead. As It came nearer 1t re-
solved itself into the shape of human
being-perhaps some sheik with q red
fez. But in another moment Mrs. VIII
mington recognized Martha Maria So
phrina Smith. the seventeen-year-old
negro girl who came every Monday for
the laundry.
Martha Maria had . flaming red rib
bon four inches wide round her head;
it was tied in front at the roots Of her
kinky hair into huge bow. the wings
of which stood out four inches beyond
her forehead.
Mrs. Wilmington, gas surprised, for
although she had noticed some OF the
signs of pride Of dress In Martha
Maria, the girl had more than the or
binary amount Of good taste.
Why, Martha" exclaimed Mrs. VII
mington, as the girl came round the
porch, what in the world are yot
wearing that bow for?"
A slow grin widened the girls mouth
and she relaxed into that saggint
droop which in a negro indicates
readiness for conversation.

The great patriotism is that whicn

One OF the most substantial contribu-
tions that the American woman can
make to the fulfiIlment OF this duty
is TO give steady, intelligent support to
American Industries.
What are the results Of her present
attitude to Industry Can our manufac-
turers do anything else than become
makers OF cheap goods? Would they
do otherwise. II they could?
II has been my business to go much
in the last few years among American
manufacturers. One of the things which
mas impressed me deepest has been the
men who apologized for cheap wares.

pleasure Of making a good thing. Brad
ford can do nothing better; but there
is not an American woman alive who
wouldn't prefer that Bradford made the
cloth in her suit rather than Massachu-
setts."
I have had spread before me as beau
tifuI designs for summer cottons as
were ever made, and heard the manufac-
turer say, with longing in his voice:
IF we could but put these into fine,
soft fabrics! but the American woman
will not buy expensive domestic goodA.
She demands the foreign mark"

PATRIOTISM VS.. INDUSTRY.

The day has come for the American
woman to wake up to her duty TO
the industries Of this country, writes Ida
Tarbell. in the ''Woman's Home Com

a terrible price to establish them, but
they never can be developed to their
place and power without her aid and
stimulus. Now is her time. Temporar-
lily, at least, the maelstrom which has
sucked in all Europe deprives her Of
supplies. This is the time to learn what
her own country's Industries car, do, and
to rally with all her influence to their
support. urging them to make the
things she wants, pledging them her al
legiance.

Oyerheating of Motor.

Overheating the motor is always fraught
with damage to the car. The four most
common causes are: l. \ poor quality OF
OIL . An open throttle and retarded
spark, 3. \ slipping fan belt, 4. Clogged
cylinders and radiator
Probably the most common cause OF
overheating is driving with a retarded
spark. New drivers are apt to forget to
advance the spark sufficiently. Conse-
quently they soon find their engine too
hot for comfort.
When driving the spark should always
be placed at "A point where the motor
seems to operate at the highest point of

BY advancing the spark. notch by
notch. even an amateur driver can readily
detect that peculiar rapping known as
a spark knock. which warns him that
the spark is advanced too far.
Only Il light. hign-grade Oil should
be used for the motor. Heavy oils gum
and cause the motor TO overhead very

the quality as various colors are due
