 One usually associates middle age with an accumulation of flesh, but this is not always the case. There are elderly women who have been grace fully slender in youth, but are now only painfully scraWnys Jas well as plump maidens developed into uncom- fortab1e, rather than comfortable, look ing matrons, as they are some times termed.
 Then there is the. high1y-colored. dark, middle-aged woman who has not quite lost her figure or the opulent .tints of her youth, but the pink of the cheeks has given place to a, duller, 5deeper red-beefy, we sometimes hear 1t termed. The large dark eyes, though still retaining some of their .bri1iance, have shrunk and naw give the impression of beadiness. The beautiful black hair. once so glossy. is now dull and black, a hue much more trying than a sprinkling of gray. Indeed, gray hair is often the saliva ton of the woman of vivid coIorinE, because it furnishes just the soft, re- fning influence that this type usually needs.
 Her very best choice will lie in a black and white toilet. Well chosen, there is nothing so we'll suited to her as an entire costume of black and
 
 vide sufficient accent. She will look striking, but neither conspicuous nor startling 2 Navy blue comes next on the. list. Very dark red will be more becoming than may be imagined. A red-face6 woman in a red dress. Horrfb1ef some may say. Tn fact, know women who have good coloring' declare they never touch red because they have so much of their own. They want some thing to tone it down, not accentuate it, they say. But this the correct darker than the tint it desires to mod fly. To test this, take any meG funn color and look at it alone Then place by the side of it. the same color many shades darker. and the medium tone will seem to change to one much light er When one has too much color crimson frock will apparently reduce it.
 Gray, also golden brown, may be worn. provided the wearer is only Of average stoutness. Gray and brown are both known as f1arge colors"4tl1at is, they apparently increase the size of the wearer. Women Of this class are, however, as a rule, Of full figure or inclined to embonpoint at least. Therefore the toilet should be chosen with a view to diminishing the figure. Thus it will be seen that gray and brown should be approached with eau ton.
 The popular toupe shades will not be bad if chosen in dull rich tints, though taupe is combination of the two unkind colors- Very dark green is often becoming to this type even though it may not have been incIud- ed in the list of co1ors worn in youth.

LIME TREATMENT
IN TuBERCUIoSlS

In the May q, 1912. issue of the Journal
of the American Medical Association APP
peared this statement concerning cul-
eium tlime9 medication in the treatment
of pulmonary tuberculosis tconsump-
aion):
Under the systematic. continued and
persistent regime of calcium asstmiia-
ton, Van Gieson has seen a number OF
his patients improve, undergo an exu-
dalton Of partial consolidation, in the
lung, which then resolving would appear
TO contribute to the walling off and
closing of the LESSONS. Hand in hand
with this course of events, the sputum
clears up of tubercle basilli, which
finally disappear, and the patients are
discharged with healed pulmonary tu-
berculosis
Ethical medical journals seldom speak
so positively about a remedial agent. yet
this testimony comedies with that from
many consumptives who have secured
like results through the use or Eekman
Alternative.
Since calcium is a constituent OF TINS
remedy for pulmonary tuberculosis ana
healing power may In some measure De
attributed to the manner in which TINS
element is so combined with other lngre-
dients as to be easily assimilated by the-
average person and 1T does not lrrltate
the stomach.

opiates narcotics or habt-formlng
drugs. so 1t is safe to try. If your drug

of the highest type: naturally stronger
than any that have been assailed dur
ing the present war since the forts
were located on high bills rendering
turret protection against fire unneces-
sary. They were reduced by 11-inch
coast defense howitzers brought from
the Japanese coast with great labor
and mounted after the exercise of en-
cheering skill of the highest order to
get them over the rough ground and
into place where they commanded the
Russian fortresses. Once established
behind nearby hills, absolutely safe
from the fire of the Russian guns the
howitzers disposed Of the enemy's
boosted defenses with the same ease
that the German guns have battered
to pieces the Belgian forts.
American officers have studied with
interest photographs of the Austrian
mobile siege mortars. No scale has ae-
companied these pictures but compar-
ison of the size of the men as shown in
the pictures with the bore or breach
of the weapon beside which they
stand, indicates the guns to be not
greater than the 11-inch and in many
instances ever smaller.
The most novel feature about these
weapons to military eyes is the system
OF transportation employed by which
the gun and its carriage are divided
on two trucks equipped with trimmed
wheels and special devices to llistri-
butte the enormous weight over as
much road service as possible. The
whole train is hauled by a traction
engine propelled by steam or gaso-
line. Undoubtedly this has served to
increase the mobility of the giant
weapons; but officers are not satisfied
that the necessity of carefully prepar-
ing the ground upon which the guns
stand when discharber has been done
away with. 1t is still a job for engi-
neers to place these weapons and the
long delay necessary to permit the
emplacement of siege weapons, while
a little reduced. is still a factor in
military operations.
The United States is not contem-
plating the construction of very large
siege guns because the roads of the
country are not suited to carry such
enormous weights. The radius of &C
ton of the weapons would be limited to
the immediate. vicinity of a few of the
larger cities or to a highway here or
there that has been improved for a
long distance. In the event of inva-
sion it would be impossible to confine
operations to territories best suited for
defense and the guns Would be yirtu-
ally useless.

EAST AFRICAN
OPERATIONS BY
BRITISH TROOPS

London Nov. 23-G55 P. M)-The
official press bureau tonight made
public the following communication
issued by the Marquis of Crewe, Sec
rotary for India, dealing with the Brit
ish military operations at the head of
the Persian gulf and in East Africa.
THE recent operations in the Per-
sian gulf have been crowned with
even greater and more rapid success
than was anticipated after the signal
defeat inflicted upon the Turkish fore
es on Nov. Is and II. The latter.
abandoning all further resistance have
fed, leaving eight guns and many
wounded on our hands.
Basra was occupied on the 21st by
our naval and land forces. All the
British in Basra are reported safe
In East Africa, 1t appears from
the latest information on that as an
important German railway terminus
was weakly held, force was sent
TO British East Africa to seize it.
On the evening of Nov. 2, one and
one-half battalions landed within two
miles Of the place and became heavily
engaged just outside the town. But
as the enemy were in much superior
strength, that force was compelled to
fall back and await reinforcements.
At II A. M. on the 4th,. the attack was
renewed. When within 500 yards Of
the position the troops engaged came
under a very heavy fire on their left
flank. In spite of heavy casualties.
the 101st Grenadiers actually entered
the town and crossed bayonets with
the enemy. The North Lancashire reg
iment and the Casmir rife on the
right pushed on in support under a
very heavy fire and also reached the
town. They found themselves opposed
by tiers of fire from the houses and
were eventually compelled to fall back

THE II INCH HOWIT-
Ter LARGELY USED
In European War, Believes
American Artillery Officers
Their Work Is Effective and
Thorough, Same as at Port
Arthur.

Washington, Nov 23.--In common
with the military observers of every
other nation, United States army Of
ficers are watching with keenest inter-
est the artillery development of the
warning nations of Europe as disclosed
upon the battlefields OF Belgium and
France. Every news despatch that
mentions the great German guns Is
read closely and photographs are
studied with greatest care; but so far
nothing conclusive has been found to
confirm the report that the Germans
are placing their main reliance upon
fortytwo centimeter mobile howitzers.
American officers believe that the
Germans have accomplished the de-
struction of opposing forts with stand
ard 11-inch howitzers and modern
high explosives which are virtually
the same for all nations. The key
to German successes of this character,
they say lies in the thoroughness with
which the work is done and the accu-
racy of their shooting with 11-inch
weapons.
Photographs of the forts before
Liege, Namur, Antwerp and elsewhere
In the war zone show turret forts
completely wrecked by German fire.
There is nothing to indicate. however.
that the damage was inflicted by IL

experts believe. The enormous de-

ADMITS FIRED
At deer BEFORE
FOUND BODY

Milo, Me-, Nov. 23.-Lowell Perkins
of this town. who reported the find
ing of Otis weymouth, fatally wound
ed with bullet in his chest, in the
woods four miles from the village Fri
day afternoon, now admits that he
fired at deer just before he discov-
cred Weymouth Although Perkins
does not admit that it was his shot
which fatally wounded his fellow
townsman, he thinks there is a pos
sibility that 1t did. The officials are
even more positive in their state
ments
Perkins statements that he fred at
deer are substantiated by the tracks
of two of the animals, coming from
opposite directions near the spot where
the shooting occurred. 1t is thought
possible that Perkins may have fired
at one deer and that Weymouth, who
was stalking the other animal unseen,
was in range of the bullet. AS far as
can be learned, no other hunter was
in the vicinity Friday afternoon.
1t is believed that a clearer light
will be thrown upon the circumstances
connected with the shooting at the
inquest which is to be held by Coroner
Martin on Tuesday When asked
Monday if it was likely that an ar
rest would be made in the case, the
officials here said they had nothing
to give out for publication.
Weymouth's funeral, which was held
Monday, was largely attended and the
accident has elected the utmost SYM
pathy for the dead mans family.
