MEANT TO CONSERVE HEALTH
Laws Laid Down by Moses AcknoWi-
edged to Be Excellent Sanitary
Regulations.

There has been gathered a collec-
ton of facts to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
in some cases in advance Of them.
The Jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in a semitropical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talmud a
method of slaughtering animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day in our markets as the most sani-
tary.
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results Of his re-
searches in bacteriology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food. 1t was
only few Years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of TIE dead
outside all cities. These hints the
Gentle world did not fully accept UNI
til century or two ago.
The wise law-giver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods Of the
year, but the removal of whole fam
lilies in summer out to camps, where
for time they could live close to
nature. Many of the laws Of Moses
were prescriptions intended for the
health of both mind and body.

The chief claim to attention is based
upon the fact that this kind of apron
requires almost no ironing.
Although the subject of kitchen
aprons is not one to arouse great
amount Of enthusiasm, it is not by
any means without interest. Many
aprons manage to be attractive, while
they cleverly fill all that is required
of them in the way Of usefulness
This means that they must cover the
figure, be plain and easily adjusted
good looking and shcpely. They mus:
be neatly finished and provided with
at least one pocket and made Of ma
terial that will stand any amount OF
tubing.
All of the new aprons are made
with elbow sleeves except those that
are sleeveless. Very shapely and at
tractive models have a large bib al
the front of the body fastened by fiat
bands of the material to the belt al
the back. A favorite finish for all
edges is a fat band of material in
contrasting color. All the fast col
ors are used with white, and striped
effects prevail.

In January the order of the year
brings about the making of new un-
dermuslins, house dresses, kitchen
aprons, and all the white work re-
quired by the household and the house.
And in the annual January sales, all
over the country, Of white goods, mer-
chants present the stocks of cotton
fabrics which they have assembled in
anticipation of the demand for them
There is no better season in which
to buy cotton products than at the
beginning of the year.
There has been a steady advance
in the standard Of quality in many
lines Of cotton goods, and in the in
PRODUCTION of high-class novelties, the
mills are making rapid progress.
A kitchen apron that may be made
of cotton crepe, as well as of the
usual percale or bingham, is shown in
the picture, and hardly needs de-
scriptiOn. It covers the figure and
fastens at the back, unlike many Of
the late patterns, which fasten at
one side. Blue is the favOrite color
for the apron Of cotton crepe, and it
is finished with white braid bindings.

A TEST IN Time
By ELSIE FIELDING.

Peggy, / am the most miserable
girl on earth" sighed Lefty Milbridge
to her. friend, Peggy Baldwin, as they
sat together on the porch of the Bald
win home.
The girls had not been on speaking
terms for several weeks, and it had
been a great surprise to Peggy when
Lefty came in, in the old-fashioned
way, and sat down for a comfortable
chat
you see," continued Lefty. hardly
able to restrain her sobs, when you
broke off your engagement with John
Ford he felt very badly about it. And
because you were jealous of me"
Lefty, the less said about that the
better" interrupted Peggy harshly.
But you were jealous, and it was
all nonsense" protested Lefty. 'You
thought we were secretly thinking
about each other, and neither of us
had ever dreamed of such a thing.
So, just to show you that we didn't
care, John and | became engaged"
ut didn't trouble me-" said Peggy,
vehemently. Il am sure l was very
glad to see you two happy. You are
far more suited to each other than we
were"
"But, Peggy"
"And Harold Lowell and I are
agreed that we love each other dear
ly," continued Peggy vindictively.
$50 there is really no reason to bark
back to an ancient story, and l am
very glad that we are going to be
friends again"
"But listen! Do listen, Peggy. John
and / don't care for each other, |
know, and [ have never dared to tell
him so, because he doesn't realize it
yet. And-and-"
What do you say?" demanded Peg
gy Baldwin, starting up in her chair.
ooh, Lefty! Does he-does John care
for me, do you think?'
"Then you-you love John?" in
quired Lefty in an awed whisper.

JACOBUS, JUNK EXPERT

Ever hear of a junk expert? Up
ID the time that William Jacobus, the
sc<ap-metal expert, stepped into the
zmclight by showing how Uncle Sam
s4aid save millions on the scrap usu-
ally scld as Junk" very few people, if
afiy, knew that one could specialize on
NIX and become a metal expert.
IN 1911 Mr.. Jacobus, who probably
ulows more about the scrapping and
NIX business than any one else, went

md placing his finger on leak said:
Here's where millions Of dollars go

Il just got engaged to him to show
that | didn't care either"
"But this is awful, Peggy. What
is to be done?"

don't care for"

and give him his freedom"
"But that's absurd, my dear. Be-

then"
Don't you suppose I would rather

Lefty.
Don't you care for anybody, Let
ty? l thought you and Harold used to
be-"
The tell-tale blush that crept under
Letty's skin was sufficient answer.
Peggy suddenly leaped out OF her
chair and kissed her. "Now see here,
Lefty" she said, 1--WE mustn't let this
go on. If we are really sure that we
are not suited-but we aren't sure, are
WEI"
"Not quite" agreed Lefty dolefully.
"Then I'll tell you what we must
do. We must all four come together
again and face this thing, and-and
learn from our meeting each other"
The plan seemed difficult one, but
both the girls agreed that it was the
only possible solution. The boys met
rather sulkily at first, and glowered at
each other. But the girls had insisted
upon their shaking hands and forget
ting the past, except for certain
necessary restraint between John ana
Peggy and Harold and Lefty.
The days went by and still nobody
had made a move If John Ford was
turning toward his former love he
gave no evidence of it. He was al
ways courteous to Peggy, but he
stayed at Letty's side, while Harold
could not be sufficiently attentive to
Peggy. And the four were to be mar
ried within few weeks.

DIAMONDS HIS TOYS

In busy Office on Broadway, New
York, there sits, day by day, man
who plays with diamonds. He toys
with the radiant gems as a scientist
might beguile himself with some new
theory, as a child might extract joy
from the possession of an abnormal
array of wonderful paper dolls. They
are playthings.
Thirty full sets of gems, worth
$1,000,O00, make up the glittering, daz-
zling, bewildering treasure store. For
the most part, they are hidden in the
gloomy, chilly, steel cave of neigh
boring vault Thither they are brought
under guard for the inspection Of their
master.
Each night he selects one set, and,
bedecked with the scintillating jewels,
he sallies forth to permit his play
things to pick up the incandescent
rays of the brilliant white way and to
dart them back, transformed into won

Noble Aspirations.

If we accept Balzac's statement:
Nations, like men, owe all their
strength and vitality that is in them
to noble thoughts and aspirations"
we shall find ourselves wondering how
we ought to compare the strength and
vitality of England, Germany and
France. Each Of these empires is
great and strong, and each owes this
strength and vitality to the noble
thoughts and aspirations Of it's people.
How shall we appraise the noble
thoughts and aspirations of Germany,
of England, of France. No mortal
scroll could mirror forth all Of lofty
good that has resulted from tho
thoughts and aspirations Of these peo-
pies, peoples who are now raveniEg
at each others threats, forgetting all
the splendor Of their constructive
years in the madness of the Gestruc-
tive present.
Strong these nations are-what shall
make them stronger? Still nobler
thoughts and aspirations. 1t may be
that out of this moil of blood and tears
each may rise to a lew and higher
destiny, destiny of peace and pros
perity which shall include no thought
of war. Let us hope that this may be
true of their future.-Dayton Journas.

1t did not seem very happy idea,
but the chief difficulty had lain IN the
fact that John had always stuck to
his tiancee's side and Harold to his.
II only either of the girls could have
been alone with the man she really
loved, feminine subtlety might have
induced him to speak out. But moth
ing had been accomplished and the
wedding day looming SO near, fright
ened each of the girls. Suppose she
chose the wrong man, making the dis
covery after marriage instead of be-
fore! Lefty knew that she would do
something desperate unless she could
find out, while Peggy dreamed of run
ming away.
Neither knew her own mind and
neither dared hint anything to her
sweetheart
The boys arrived in due course, and
the stroll down town was a dismal
repetition of many such strolls. Peg
gy was desperately unhappy and, to
crown her woe, the boys obstinately
refused to join in the game of gen
eral post which had been devised
Harold sat down with Peggy and John
with Lefty
Both girls were crying silently in
the dark theater, not watching the &C

last chance had gone by.
Suddenly a kissing sound was heard
and then bright white flame shot up

Instantly the theater was in panic.
Peggy felt herself knocked from her
seat. A man was trampling on her.
Women were screaming. She tried to.
flee, but, damned in the crowd, she
fell to the ground in a half-swoon.
Suddenly she felt herself lifted in
a mans arms He raised her as light
ly as if she were child and, holding
her before him, fought his way
through the happily diminishing press.
When the girl opened her eyes she
was lying outside and somebody was
bending over her.
1t was John, and Feggy twined her
arms about his neck and chung to him.
His kisses we're warm upon her lips.
Dearest! Thank God" he was say
ing over and over again.
And she returned his kisses, for she
knew at last, and with only faint
contempt for Harold's cowardice, she
resigned herself to the sweetness of
their loves renewal.
But suddenly she saw Lefty before
her. Harold's arm was about her
waist and on the girls face was the
shyness and TRANSPORTATION of loves
avOwal.
The crowd was dispensing and the
four looked at each other i'll a mixture
of emotions. Then suddenly the girls
laughed and fell On each other S necks.;
And the mems hands met III a wise
