REAL HOME FOR THE HOLE
Period of Troubious
Wanderings.

Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent of woman suffrage, said at
a suffrage debate in Boston:
Il always declare that woman
shouldn't enter politics till she's full
filed all her prior duties.
Prior duties! Prior duties" So
a young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties" that you're always talk
ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren?'
so then I told the young lady this
story:
Once upon time, began, a little
hole was born; and it looked around
to see where it should take up its
abode.
1T first decided on a window, but a
man came straightway and put in a
new pane. 1t next chose a chair seat
but the housewife sent for a Gamer
and in a jiffy new seat was put in
the chair. The hole now selected 8
baby's rattle, and the baby was sc
pleased that it began to tear the rat
tie to pieces, and the poor hole, hal
crazed with fright, had just time tt
escape. 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing tina
came to hand, which happened to b.
the sock of a suffragist's husband.
There, at least, the hole seems tt
have found a real home. It's peas
has not been troubled from the be
ginning, six months ago"

cab stand and engaged a four
wheeled vehicle. One of his com.
panions got up on the seat outside
with the driver, giving the latter a
direction.
After a devious route, leading into
the foreign quarter of London, the
vehicle halted. 1t was within a dark
and lonely court.
You may as well remain within the
carriage" spoke Hulbert's companion.
1--WE will bring the woman down. She
is quiet" and he placed a peculiar
emphasis on this word, "as agreed.
Once aboard the ship, she will be rea-
sonable. When she knows that to
rebel is of no avail"
Five minutes later the foreigners ap-
peared carrying a wrapped-up figure.
A CLINT of light from the carriage lamp
revealed the uncovered face of beau
tiful young girl, unconscious, drugged.
She was placed within the vehicle.
You will make no miss on the
plans" spoke the man to Hubert.
"All is arranged, is it not" replied
Hubert tersely. Then he was some
what disturbed, for the other man got
into the carriage beside him, after
naming a dock on the Thames to the
driver
Hubert had hastily formed a plan
regarding what he would do as to the
girl. The evident intention Of the for
eigner to remain with him set awry
! his project. After they had proceeded
about half mile he spoke to the
man, signaling the driver to stop.
Go get me a dozen cigars at the
drug store we just passed" he di-
rected. Then to the driver, with the
words, drive fast, stop for nothing!"
Hubert reached his own boarding
house. He dismissed the puzzled and
wondering hackman. Then he car.
ried the girl up to his room, summoned
the landlady and sent for a doctor.
1t was nearly midnight when the
physician succeeded in arousing the
girl from her deep torpor. For three
hours thereafter she, the landlady and
Hubert, formed trio engaged in ex
plantations.
The young girl had been kidnapped
from a private school by the foreign
ers They were professional black
mailers. Her parents were travelling
on the continent and were immensely
wealthy.
The scheme had been to convey hel
to Algeria and hold her in seclusior
for ransom.
At daylight Scotland Yard was no
titled. From what information HUI
bert could give, the expert police were
able to take up the trail Of the would
be kidnapers. The entire gang were
run down, the matter became public
and Hubert became a newspapers
hero
There followed the immediate re
turn of the alarmed parents of Eunict
Gadsleigh to England. They over
whelmed Hubert with their atten
tons They did more than that-the!
looked favorably upon the attentions
of Hubert towards their daughter.

"Gaby Deslys,' said a Chicago mo-
diste. is the most extravagantly
dressed woman in the world. Her
chinchilla and sable nantes alone are
worth a fortune-mantles wherein the
most priceless furs are draped and
folded like soft silk, regardless of the
number of skins used.
But when Gaby Deslys comes to
America even her most expensive
robes are duplicated here. For Ameri-
can women spend more money on
clothes today than they have ever
spent-and very much more than they
should spend in many cases.

MAKE THE KITCHEN PRETTY
No Reason Why Most-Used Room in

Look Neglected.

A woman who believes that kltch;

why most people do not hold the same
opinion.
Of original tastes, she has devised
this scheme of color and decoration
for her kitchen. The walls she has
had painted bright sunshinny yellow.
the woodwork and chairs deep Prus-
sian blue, the color of the pattern in
her kitchen crockery and the corn
flower pattern of her white tiled stove,
which has a shining metal top.

stove must be black and ugly" she
says. 81 got rid of this view in visit
to Holland, where l bought my pretty
stove"
The windows of her kitchen are
hung with sash curtains made of glass
toweling barred in blue. At the cen
ter of their stills little square bracket
shelf has been attached, upon which
stands gay geranium.

FOOD VALUES
IMPORTANT MATTER uNDERESTl-
MATED BY HOUSEkEEPER.
Dishes Served at Family Table Should
Be Constitution Builders as Well
as PaIatabIe-Sweets Have
Definite Purpose.

The average housekeeper selects
her food in very careless manner.
She buys coal and wood for the heat
thew provide and fabrics for their dur
ability, but she gives very little
thought to the efficiency CT foodstuffs.
She merely gets what is liked and
what happens to be in the market
and is easily prepared.
It is certain that in years to come,
when housekeeping, or domestic sci
ence," has taken the high position
toward which it is gradually moving,
each housekeeper will be completes
to have her little volume on Food
Values on the shelf with her book OF
recipes, and she will consult it even
more frequently than she does the
other books, because she will have
been taught that the Importance OF
food lies in its energy-giving proper
ties.
But until that time comes we must
struggle along ourselves and look at
the buying and cooking OF foods from
readjusted point of view-one which
includes the value they have as con-
stitution builders as we'll as their pal
atable qualifications.
We must teach ourselves to choose
foods wisely, regarding rather the es-
sentials than the nonessent1als, ana
to use discrimination in the processes
of preparing them,
Say that we need so many thousand
units to live and work. Well, then.
our food, properly chosen and pre-
pared, should help to supply the nee
essary units. You cannot make bricks
without straw or bread without hour
or energy without the fuel to provide
It,
1t would be impossible to go deeply
into the food-value question in short
talk, but there is one essential which
must be mentioned because OF the
change of view regarding it.
When we were all children we were
given sweets only as sort of reward
for having eaten the palmer foods.
Sweets were not looked upon as nee
essary, but rather as verging on the
Injurious.
Now we have learned that sweets,
far from being harmful, are beneficial
and productive of energy.
There are so many health-g1vlng
constituents in the ordinary pudding
that it is far more advisable for the
dessert of the average child than rich
pies or pastries. Almost all puddings
require eggs and milk, and these add
a goodly number of units to the col
umn.
There are also many delicious fruit
buildings which contain many more
strengthening elements than the plain
fruit itself And yet decade of years
ago the pudding would have been
dealt out to the younger members of
the family with sparing and grudg-
ing hand, while they might have par
taken freely of the fruit itself.
Mothers are now beginning to real
ize the possibilities of desserts as
strengthening factors in their chill
dren's lives.

been built a plate cage, just skeleton
affair of chestnut, that has been stain
ed to match the woodwork in the
kitchen. The plates are slipped in
between bars that permit them to
stand upright, and as soon as they are
washed and rinsed, they are placed In
the cage where they drain and dry.
This shortens the time of doing" the
dishes considerably. She tells me that

ECZEMA ITCHED AND BURNED

MY baby, when three months old,
took eczema on his face and head.
His head and one side of his face
were almost in solid sore. The &C.
zema at first was kind of a rash and
then it broke out in water pimples
and they would burst and looked very
badly. It would itch and burn SO bad
ly that he could not rest at all and
his hair just all fell out at once till
his head was perfectly bald. He could
not sleep at night and was very cross.
Il tried remedies without any relief
at all; he only got worse all the time
until I used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment He had great relief the first

PREVENTING Mildew.

Housekeepers are often greatly
troubled by mildew caused by damp
cupboards. BY putting an earthen
bowl or deep plate, full of quicklime.
into the cupboard, the dampness will
be absorbed, while the lime will also
sweeten and disinfect the atmosphere.
Another advantage of the lime is that
rats mice, and many bugs that are
apt to congregate in damp places have
a dislike to lime. Renew the lime as
often as it becomes slaked.
