Scientist Urges
Fewer Clothes

Boston. Jan 17.-Shades OF Eve! II
the very teeth of the bitter criticism
of the peek-a-boo waist, the diaphan
Gus and slit skirt, and the sometimes
more than half-back decollette, comes
a mere man timorous enough to de-
clare that women wear too many
clothes. Professor Charles Zueblm
famous scientist and lecturer of Wor.
cester, contends that the human race
would be healthier, happier and more
moral if women wore fewer clothes
The best garment for each sex,

mexorably dictates the addition o.
skirts for growing young girls, they
can still wear bloomers. The elimi.
nation of skirts is obviously in pro.

doned, temporarily at least, and the
slit skirt gives promise of skirtless
costume in the future. And the say

LAST HONORS PAID
GILBERT S. HELMS

Funeral services over the remains
Of Gilbert S. Helms, who passed away
early Thursday morning, were held
from the State street Christian
church yesterday afternoon. Beautiful
and impressive were the last honors
paid to the departed. About the cas-
ket, at the foot of the altar, were
banked masses of flowers; roses, car
nations, cali lilies and the sweet
scented violcts, in wreaths, sprays
and many magnificent set pieces, to-
kcns Of loving remembrance Of the
friend and associate who had gone
before.
Rev w. g. Conley, who oficiated,
paid glowing tribute to the depart
ed, speaking Of his excellent charac-
ter, cheerful disposition and worth in
this world during the short time he
was here. The pastor spoke Of the
host Of friends Gilbert Helms had
made and Of the value that friend
ship was, also the example the clean
life he had led as son, brother, hus-
band and friend
Touching indeed was the offering
Of +. +. Beamer, whose powerful and
sympathetic voice sent out the words
Of that beautiful song "Love Divine"
The esteem in which Gilbert Helms
was held in El Centro was attested
in the number attending the services.
The large church auditorium was very
nearly filed with sorrowing friends,
The country club, of which the de-
ceased was member, attended in a
body and with bowed heads gathered
about the bier which held the earthly
remains Of their friend.
The body was taken to Los Angeles
last evening, accompanied by the

Many people take it after they have
had the grip. Their Convalescence is
slow. They have suffered along for
month or two, without any signs of
complete recovery Then they resort
to Peruna as a tonic, with splendid
results.
Mrs. Jane Gift, r. F. n. 1, Athens,
Ohio whose portrait appears above.
writes: Il think l would have been
dead long ago if it had not been for
Peruna. Six years ago had Ia grippe
very bad. The doctor came to sec
me every day, but l gradually grew
worse. I told my husband 1 thought
I would surely die il l did not get
relief soon.
"One day picked up the news
paper and accidentally found a testi-
monial of woman who had been
cured of grip by Peruua I told my
husband l wanted to try it. He went
directly to the drur store and got
bottle Of Peruna. I could see the i'm
provement in a very short time ana
was soon able to do my work. l con-
tinued using it until was entirely
cured
Mr.. Victor Patneaudc, 32S Madison
St, Topeka, Kas., writes: Twelve
years ago I had a severe attack of Ia
grippe and l never really recovered
my health and strength, but grew
weaker every year, until was unable
to work.
1.-TWO years ago began using Pc
runa and it built up my strength so
that in Il couple of months / was able
to go to work again. This winter I
had another attack of Ia grippe, but
Peruna soon drove it out of my sys-
tenn. My wife and I consider it a
household remedy"

cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets.

Mothers 90 Boys
And Wants More
Omitted Press Day service)


Minneapolis. Jan. 17-Mother to 90
boys, and more wanted. That's what
Mrs. Frank T. Crary of Minneapolis
is. She's like the old lady who lived
in a shoe, in Mother Goose" in
the number of children she mothers :
but Mrs. Crary does know what to
do; and she's doing it so well that the
real mothers of these 90 rollicking
happy youngsters have come to real
ize that when their sons grow to man.
hood they will have 80 as near per
feet husbands as 90 women could wish
for. Mrs. Crary is "house mother
to the boys of the Thomas Arnold pub
lie school.
Watching the boys on their way to
school, with their lunch boxes under
their sturdy arms, gave Mrs. Crary
her idea. She thought how much tast.
ier and more healthful a hot lunch
would be for them. Then she formu-
lated her plan and took it to the
teachers and to members of the boarC
of education.
Fine; the very thing; begin right
away was the comment of every
one she spoke to. Out Of money the
boys got through sale of their worl
at the manual training classes, they
laid in a supply of provisions an0
Mrs Crary cooked the lunches. From
that it was an easy and logical step
to teaching the boys to do the cook
ing themselves. Now hot MONDAY
meals are cooked for the boys and the
teachers. Sometimes the main article
is vegetable soup; sometimes it is a
nourishing stew; always there is q
dessert pudding to top off with, or
baked apples.
Six boys, selected by themselves,
are in charge of the cooking each
week. They have come to be mighty
proud of their accomplishments in the
culinary art, and there is quite bit
of friendly rivalry over the abilities
of these cook-boys. The six who dc
the cooking also do the dish wash
ing. Once a week The floor is
scrubbed and the dish towels boiled.
The boys take their regular turns
doing this work. They have come to
realize the value of a good house
keeper and they are putting their
knowledge into practice in their
homes, much to the delight Of their
mothers and sisters.
"Mothering has always been my
specially" said Mrs. Crary today. She

An Odd Postcard,

The most curious post card ever pro-
duced. according to leading philate-
list. was one which the Japanese gov
eminent put out in 1873.
In describing it he says it is "really
a sheet of paper folded so as to form
four pages of a narrow book. On the
front page is a border inclosing an i'm
pressed stamp for the postage rate and
a space for the address. On the Sec
ond page are printed in native charac.
tiers only minute directions for use. On
the third page are ruled number of
vertical lines, between which the send
er was to write his communication,
and the fourth page was a blank"
They remained in use until 1875.

The paths traversed by rays from a

paths of reflected rays would be the
same as those Of the rays received: If
the arc of a circle. the rays will be
reflected to one bright focus. To have
a band Of parallel rays leave the mirror
it must be the arc Of parabola. Then
straight rays will be reflected all
parallel to each other. In air, the in.

would be as intense at any distance
