AYOW, what is the most valuable
thing a child can possess II it
be not health And why so
many gewgaWs outside when pre-
cious bones and muscles are all going
wrong for the want OF little sensible
attention?
Let me consider first the awkward
habit of toeing in which SO many
young children have, and which, if not
corrected when the limbs are plastic,
will become lifetime defect. There
is a toein shoe which the orthopedic
bootmakers supply, and which can
sometimes be had at the large depart
ment stores-the shops that make a
speciality of children's wear are
bound to have it. The device for the
correction of this fault in this boot is
simple and at the same time thor
oughly effective, and it consists of the
sole being built UP on the outer edge
at the toe. Ready made, this sensi-
BILE footgear costs from So to $275,
but, of course. the private bootmaker
would charge more for the little laced
shoes.

Skin FOODS
--Es---
And noW TO Use

BY EDNA EGAN.

NSTEAD of soap, both girls, she
4 with the fine, tender skin and she
with the oily skin, may use in
eeeao OF soap almond meal.
IN addition to this, the oily skin,
which Is most unattractive when tan
Aea and burned, should be treated
with astringents. After washing the
lace with camel's hair complexion
brush on which you scattered almond
meal, rinse it in tepid water contain
ing few drops OF tincture of ben

water. Then, instead of applying the
Usual face powder, use this lotion

glycerin, two ounces; camphor water

Allow this to dry of itself, and
liquid white: Pure oxide of zinc, one
ounce; glycerin, one drachm rose
water, four ounces; essence of rose,
nfteen drops.
Sift the zinc, dissolving it in just
enough of the rosewater to cover it,
tnen add the glycerin, next the re-
malnder of the rosewater.
Shake well and apply with a soft
sponge or pice of antiseptic gauze.
This latter should also be used in
stead of the regulation face powder

can be used on the arms, throat and
face as well.
And right here a word about the
neck. Girls who wear the Gibson
stock or the high shaped collar all
summer will find when they turn to
decolletage that there is very apt to
be more or less discoloration of the
neck, Often there is a distinct yell
lowish stain to mark where the top
of the collar touched the skin. Ordi-
narily, massage with cucumber lotion
will remove collar traces.
In making up for the evening bear
in mind that just now the forI face
is not fashionable. Avoid rouge on
the cheek bones. If you are natur-
ally somewhat pallid, be rather grace
full, as you are then in style. If you
are ford, use an oatmeal whitened
for your skin and avoid rich foods
and alcoholic drinks Of all sorts. If
!. you are pale bear in mind that this

Fhe fashionable woman of today has
scarlet lips, and if these are pale, she
uses very skillfully a bit of lip salve,
colored with alkanet, a formula for
which will be furnished if requested.
Lip salve or rouge can be purchased
at almost any drug store or beauty
parlor, but any reader will see the
Importance of having absolutely pure
drugs to use on the lips.

IF you have never tasted potatoes
baked in the following manner,
then you have never really tasted
baked potatoes: Before baking let
them stand in a pan of cold water
for about an hour; then place them
in the oven and bake in the usual
manner. The steam so generated will
make them cook more rapidly.
vt sometimes happens that the edge
of an almost new linen collar is
rough and cuts the neck of the
wearer Instead of throwing away
the collar as useless, try to smooth it's
edges with bit of sandpaper-th
side of a matchbox will do-for the
result OF this is generally that the
collar is made perfectly comfortable
A RECIPE which is good for clean
"a ing fabrics without injuring
their texture or changing their
color Is the following, which is also
good for cleaning rugs and carpets.
Crate two raw potatoes in a basin
which contains a pint of clear, cold
water. Now strain them through a
sieve, allowing the liquid to fall into
another bowl containing another pint
of cold water. When it settles pour
off the water into bottle and keep
it for further USE Dip sponge into
the potato water and rub the soiled
garment carefully, after which it may
be washed in clear water.

President Charles R. Van Hise of
the University of Wisconsin, an au-

Midvale option was upon a number
of Independent holdings on the Me-

There is considerable unsold ore
on the Mesaba range, in the iron

bodies are being constantly donated

TURKISH GOVERNMENT is
WARNED BY UNITED STATES
Americans Aroused by the Slaughter
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Also
Files a Protest.

Washington, Oct. 6.-Ambassador
Morgenthau at Constantinople was in
structed by cable on Monday to inform
the Turkish minister of foreign affairs
that public sentiment in the United
States was so stirred by the reports of
the Armenian atrocities that unless
the massacres ceased friendly rela-
lions between the American people
and the people of Turkey would be
threatened.
Officials made it clear that this mes
sage, though it's Importance was BY no
means minimized, did not threaten a
break of diplomatic relations. Turkey
already had let it be known that she
will not permit interference by any
foreign power with her so-called Ar
menian policy"
AS American life or property has
not been affected, the United States
government, without submitting an
official protest, merely informs Turkey
of the effect of continued Armenian
atrocities would have upon the Ameri-
can people.
Secretary Lansing said that no rep
reservations had been made to Ger
many regarding the treatment of the
Armenians by the Turks.
1t was learned, however, that Am
bassador Morgenthau had reported
that the German embassy at Constan-
tinople had filed protest on this sub
ject with the Turkish foreign office.

Washington, Oct 8.-President Will
son came out for woman suffrage. In
a formal statement he declared that
he would vote in favor of amending
the New Jersey state constitution to

viction as citizen of New Jersey,
called upon by the legislature of the
state to express his convictions at the
polls.
'I think that New Jersey will be
greatly benefited by the change"
Two members of President Wilson's

RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM
SENT TO BULGARIA
Balkan State Must Break With the
Teutons and Gust All Ger
man Officers.

London, Oct 5.-According to the
Times, the Russian minister at Sofia
has delivered a formal ultimatum to
Bulgaria demanding the expulsion OF
all German officers in Bulgaria within
twenty-four hours.
The text of the ultimatum follows:
1.-THE events which are taking place
in Bulgaria at this moment give evil
dence of a definite decision of King
Ferdinand's government to place the
fate of his country in the hands OF
Germany.
"The presence Of German and Aus
TRAN officers at the war ministry ana
on the staff of the army, the concen-
tration of troops on the Serbian bor-
der and the extensive financial sup
port accepted from our enemies by the
Sofia cabinet no longer leave any
doubt as to the object of the military
preparations of Bulgaria.
"The powers of the entente VINO
have at heart the realization OF the
aspirations of the Bulgarian people
have, on many occasions, warned M.
Radoslavoff that any hostile act against
Serbia would be considered as direct
ed against themselves. The assur-
ances given by the head of the Bull
garian cabinet in reply to these warn
ings are contradicted by the facts.
"The representative of Russia,
which is bound to Bulgaria by the I'M
perishable memory of her liberation
from the Turkish yoke, cannot sane
ton by his presence preparations for
fratricidal aggression against Slav
and allied people. The Russian min
lister therefore has received orders to
leave Bulgaria with all the staffs OF
the legation and consulates If the Bull
garian government does not. within
twenty-four hours, openly break with
the enemies of the Slav cause and OF
Russia and does not at once proceed
to send away officers belonging to the
armies of states which are at war
with the power of the entente.

SWISS ARE WELL PROTECTED
Alpine Passes Could Be Stormed Only
in Single Column, at Ire
mendous Risk.

National defense is no light burden
upon a state of less than 100000
inhabitants, although the nature of
the country lends assistance The
mountainous boundaries which sur
round the Swiss on three sides are
valuable allies, but the low-lying
country on the north, from Basel to-
the lake of Constance, is seriously
exposed. This is the part which in
the past has tempted the Germans and
French to try flank movements, and
where the Rhine would be only a
hindrance, not prevention of 1nva-
sion. Between 1863 and ITO at least
seven expeditions of considerable mill
itary importance marched across that
portion of Switzerland, without re-
gard to the feelings of the inhabitants.
Since 1915 the neutrality of that re-
gion has been, on the whole, Observed
but the Swiss have maintained the
greatest possible watchfulness during
periods of war.
The Alpine passes are approached
by fine, broad roads of comparatively
easy grade, and could be readily
mounted by armies and their artil-
lery; but this must be done in single
column and the risk to an enemy
would be tremendous. At several
points long tunnels admit railways
and the obstacles to peaceful COM
merce have been removed. No war
has brought the tunnel to the test Of
defense, but every preparation has
been made to stop the entrance of an
enemy. Elaborate Notifications upon
the st. Gothard combine both the
road and the railway, while the
Rhone valley is defended by similar
works at st. Maurice and Martigny.
On the southeastern border the
Swiss soldiers must stand within a
few yards of the road and watch the
Italians and Austrians contend for the
Stelvio pass at a height of 10000 feet.
On the south the boundary is compli-
Gated by the lakes which extend from
Italy or France into Swiss territory
Along Lake Geneva a wide neutral
zone has been maintained for years,
but the situation is none the less del-
icate between Switzerland and France
