To Found a Home for Lepers

From the London Chronicle
 Interest in the lepers Co be found in this country was stimulated when 1t be- came known a few months ago that Lord Strathcona had In his will be- queathed s25.oo0 to John Burns 10 provide home for 90 of thcm in the United Kingdom"
 That interest has now been revived by the statement that accommodation for lepers Is to be provided shortly in some rural district.
 That such a hospital is necessary Is the opinion of Sir George Turner, an emil nent medical man, himself leper, ex- pressed in an interview. Sir George, while at Pretora. found 1t impossible to obtain a suitable man to reside at the leper asylum and attend to the patients sc he undertook voluntarily to work there in his spare time.
 In the interest of science he prosecuted research of specially dangerous nature. risk personally taken because, as he says. "I could not ask any man to do what 1 was not willing to do myself, and that is. 1 suppose, how I caught It. Though living quietly in retirement at Colyton. south Devon Sir George Tur- ner is keenly interested in everything touching the question of leprosy and it's treatment. and theN scheme for a leper hospital has his entire approval.

LONELINESS
By LUCILLE CANE

l wonder if it is given to many of us to realize what essentially lonely crea- lures we mortals are. Lonely. in spite of friendships and relations, home life. and a swidespread acquaintance with others.
 Our egos, our real selves, are shut up within us in an impenetrable fortress. Oc- casionally. perhaps, the drawbridge can be let down and a kindred spirit per mitted to enter the inner chamber of our thoughts. To many passing soul un- sconsciously we cry. "Who goes there ?'' and the answer comes back "A stran- ger" Some are so fortunate that once or twice in the lives the call comes back, "A friend. and soul meets soul in per feet comradeship. but this is rare.
 Why this should be Is a problem hard to solve. yet the fact remains that, could you delve into the minds of most peo- ple you would find there keen desire for complete understanding, an under- standing that those who surround them are incapable of giving
 Do parents understand their children? In few cases, perfectly. I think There Is many barrier between husband and wife, father and son. mother and daugh- ter. which a keener insight on one side or the other could obliterate entirely.
 Sometimes this loneliness is our own fault. We hedge ourselves in behind con ventions and reserve, and hundred little
 
 the wall between ourselves and many a would-be comrade.
 We are generally afraid to speak out. afraid of truth. We are hurt and pre- tend not to care. we have affection to give and we dare not show it. We make life ten times harder for ourselves and others by our own studpidity, by blunder- Ing. tactless words and deeds that wound when they are meant to heal. Then we are surprised that the comradeship we dreamed of has become impossible and we are left once more to face the lone Illness we were trying to escape
 To the busy people-those with many and sympathies-this consciousness of iso- lation can only come in the still quiet hours when there is time to think clamly and see things as they really are.
 Do those whose lives are so full, and who are yet able to realize that they are incomplete. ever give a thought to the many whose lives are SO mlserabl, blank?
 think to everyone there comes a chance of stretching out. friendly hand to lonely wanderer along life's road i but so often we are deaf to the call fo, help.

To Present GIass' Comedy

Montague Glass bewitching comedy,
 Potash and Perlmutter," which has
 carried London by storm. is to be given
 here during the coming season. I met
 the English producer, Edward Loril-
 lard. here few days ago and he told
 me he had been looking over the sit-
 uation and had decided to try the Ger
 man field. He has some doubts about
 the success of the purely dialect idea |hereabouts.
 Most of these Germans talk just like Abe and Mawruss,' he said, when they speak English. It wouldn't be at all difficult to get up any number of touring companies in Germany to do our own version of Potash and Perl mutter.'"
 If the play can be Germanized with out losing it's American "bite" we will welcome it with open arms Comedy in the German theatre is at high premium and we are getting just a little weary of the eternal operetta all | the year round.

 and Perlmutter" in German
Fly FREDERICK wERNoR

Berlin, August 16-tSpecial. )-Polit- ical and certain amount of industrial unrest, added to the rigid demands of the censor have hit the moving picture business in Germany a blow that has proved knockout to hundreds of hitherto prosperous concerns The theatres and the film factories alike have been hard hit. The strike of the producers against the new police cen sorshp fee of 25 cents for every 20 metres of film manufactured is still going on. but 1t Is acknowledged that several manufacturers are evading the strike agreement by having their prod ucts censored through the theatre-own- CTS, so that they need not appear in the matter themselves
 At the moment the indications are that the film manufacturers will final ly cave in and pay the tax out of their diminishing profits, sort of com promise by compulsion. Meanwhile the cinematograph theatres are beginning to close their doors under the strain of increased taxation combined with declining patronage. Some of these es- tablishments in Berlin pay as much as $25,000 a year in the form of the municipal amusement tax. The new CT and larger ones have been gotten up to outvie Solomons temple in the splendor of their hangrngs, panellings and illumination and with reduced prices and higher taxes have hard time to live. Without the 20 cents charged for checking your hat and coat (which must be given up) most of the theatres could not live at all. It is significant that one of the largest for eign film making firms operating in Berlin has halved it's prices at a stroke.

To Remove Rust Stains

Would you please tell me how to re- move rust stains from table linen and also how to clean the nickel on a gas range without injuring 1t?
 MRS J. F. G."
 Soak the linen In sour milk or In but termilk all night. Rinse next day in pure water and lay in the hot sun, wetting the spots hourly with lemon juice. Repeat the process until the stain Is removed. Or you may boil the linen in strong cream of tartar water, rinse and sun. wetting hourly with the same liquid. Neither of these treatments will inujure the finest linen. Dissolve two teaspoonfuls of baking soda in half a cup of water and with a clean, soft cloth apply to the nickel plating, talk ing care not to let 1t drip upon the clean stove. Rub dry with another clean cloth. Old flannel is best for this. Should this fNl to polish the fittings, try bit of flannel wet with ammonia.

SOME HEEL PING HAND
 HINTS FOR THE HOME
By MARION KIRKLAND

Drain and pack into clean stone crooks. Cover with brine strong enough to bear up an egg; fit on lid and leave for three days. Drain and dry the cucuin- bers by laying upon a towel and pressing another towel upon them. Wash the crock and put the pickles back in 1t. Cover with pure fresh water in which has been dissolved teaspoonful of pull verized alum Leave in the water 24 hours Turn off the water and puor in fresh. Leave for yet another day. Have ready on the fire enough boiling vinegar to fill the crock. In the vinegar should be cooked for one minute grated onion. an ounce each of celery and of mustard seeds, twenty whole cloves and a dozen blades of mace. Fill the crock with the scalding vinegar, and an even cupful of sugar, and stir She cucumbers up from the bottom to mix well. Cover closely and set in cool place Tor a week. Then drain off the vinegar. bring it to a rapid boil. and pour again upon the pickles. Do not use them under six months. They will keep for six years This is an old Virginia recipe. and if faithfully followed will yield firm favorous pickles
 Lotion for Burns
 My grandmother insisted to the last of her S7 years that wood soot and lard rubbed tn emulsion were the best rem edies for a burn that could be applied as a poultice l can recollect. moreover, sevenal instances that proved her to be correct Was 1t az old wives fable2
 'CIARLES H. NJ"
 The application was not slightly. and sometimes left a dark mark that did not wear away for weeks. But the principle of the cure was sound. A burn or scald is acid, the heat having caused a chem ical change in the secretions under the skin. The alkali Of the wood soot neu- tralized this and the lard excluded the outer mir from the inflamed portions. Physicians of a later date prescribed a lotion of lime water and linseed oil for burns. Here we have the same remedial alkali and oil.
 Our grandmothers may not have, com rrehended why they applied them. They judged of their efficiency by experience Coal soot would not serve the same pur- pose, any more than coal ashes will fer tilize lands which wood ashes make pro ductive. A top coating of sitter wood ashes is excellent for grass lands, and if worked into sour soil will correct proper ties that make it bring forth sorrel and the like presidential growths.
