Demands for tickets OF admission to

Before the house committee on

atod the FIRST step I'm the campaign

Two bills are pending before the
house. one introduced by Representa-
tive Foster Of Illinois. chairman OF the
mines committee. and the other by
Representative Ferris OF Oklahoma.
The Foster bill provided that. athf.
government shall take oIinrge OF all
the radium production OF the United
States and the Ferris bill provides for
the withdrawal OF public entry lands
known TO contain deposlts OF radlum

Training a Cook.

An Irish servant is, of all people in
the world, the most anxious to please,
and she even desires to do exactly as
she is told, even when the commands
laid on her are unreasonable. In
THE Lighter Side Of Irish Life" Mr..
G. A. Birmingham gives an amusing
instance of this trait.
A young housekeeper once under
took to train a cook. One day, it
happened that there were whiting for
dinner. She exlained carefully the
proper way of cooking whiting, and,
with view to achieving elegance in
the serving of the dish, added that
these particular fish are usually sent
up to table with their tails in their
mouths.
The fish appeared on the dinner
table, not seductively curled after the
pleasant habit of whiting, but lying
rigidly straight on the dish. Each OF
them, however, had it's tail cut off
and neatly inserted into its mouth.
The inexperienced cook had most
conscientiously obeyed what must
have struck her as a merely vexatious
order.-Youth's Companion.

C0L0RS' EFFECTS ON MOODS
Belief That Has Long Been Held ls
Declared to Have Real Foundation
In Scientific Fact.

People to whom certain colors rep
resent sounds or emotions have long
been laughed at, but scientific work on
the suns rays is proving them to
have justification for their theories.
Red, It appears, is the most exciting
and stimulating of all colors and has a
special effect on the activity of the
brain Blue, which so many people in
an age of great nervous strain and
tension find soothing, is so in reality.
Unless you are in depressed and mel
ancholy state sea blue curtains at your
bedroom windows have beneficial
effect, especially If you face south and
get the morning sun.
Color, indeed, especially In flowers,
has an extraordinary effect on the
mental condition. The sight OF GRIM
son, pink and amethyst rhododen-
drons growing In the open air has
curiously uplifting and joyous effect
