Potatoes and RuttermlIk.

An Irishwoman well expressed, the
other day, the value Of the national
diet of potatoes and buttermilk. When
I was young" she said, I'VE never
heard of consumption. The people
were content with potatoes and butter
milk. Now they must have meat and
tea. They are healthy enough as chill
dren, but few grow up strong. They
become consumptive as they grow.
They cannot afford good meat, or
enough of it, and they will not eat the
potatoes and milk that would cost
them little and keep them strong" Po-
tatoes are more nourishing if boiled
or baked in their skins. The Irish
know this; and, passing the open doors
of cottages today, one may still some
times see the brown, smoking balls
turned out of the big pot onto the
clothIess table, round which the family
is sitting.

The Deaf and Dumb Spy.

AS the British forces under General
Kitchener neared Khartum, dervisE
spy was discovered in camp and taken
to headquarters for examination. But
neither brides nor threats could elicit
one word from the prisoner; he at
fected to be both deaf and dumb.
Scarcely had be been put in tent I'M.
der guard, when another spy was led
in who proved equally obdurate, Sc
he was put with the first one.
Half an hour later, when the camp
was settling down to rest, there was 9
fresh stir and hubbub and third spy
was brought in, who also would reveal
nothing, and was finally placed in the
tent with his fellows.
Soon the guards outside heard a
murmur Of voices from within. The
dumb spies had found their tongues,
but it was impossible to overhear their
talk distinctly or to understand it. An
hour or more passed.
Then the door Of the tent was
thrown open, and the third spy ap-
peared and asked to be taken to head.
quarters. There he threw off his dis
guise and revealed General Kitch-
ener! He had discovered all he want
ed to know.

Cured BY q Bullet.

Private Redmond of the First Colo
RADIO volunteers, once on duty at Ma
Mia, was the star sufferer OF the
English army corps. Nothing in the
way of treatment did him any good,
and he realized sadly that he could
never be even noncommissioned of
ficer, because he could not give the
simplest words of command without
suffering. He was q brave and EN-
cient soldier, and always first In the
firing line.
At the battle of Marquis Redmond
was shot In the mouth. The Mauser
bullet passed downward and came out
at the nape of the neck.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he recovered rapidly, and all that
could be seen of the wound was a lit
tie scar about his upper lip where the
bullet entered But the remarkable
thing about the affair was when he
left the hospital he was cured OF his
habit Of suffering. How 1t happened
neither he nor the doctors can ex-
plain. but he was so joyous over the
fact that he blessed the bullet that
brought him relief.

MEANS MUCH TO NAVAL MEN
Ability to Communicate Through Wa
ter One of Most Recent lmpor-
tant Discoveries.

Several American battleships and
submarines are now equipped with II.
A. Fessenden's submarine wireless
apparatus. This sends messages more
than thirty miles under water, and
the inventor expects that with expert
ence it will be possible so to improve
the apparatus as to make it send and
receive for several hundreds of miles.
The apparatus starts a metal plate
vibrating SO rapidly that 1t sends
waves of sound through the water.
Sound travels through water four
tines as rapidly as through air.
In an article in the American Maya
zine. Cleveland Moffett quotes Profess
sor Fessenden as saying:
you see the Importance o1 these
oscillators in naval warfare, for bat
tleship equipped with such instru-
ments can talk to its own submarines
while they are miles away and sub
merged and can actually direct their
movements against an enemy's YES
sels."

Y JUST WHAT IS BAD AIR?
Experts Prove That Overheated Rooms
Without Proper Ventilation Produce
Serious Physiological Defects.

Air is bad when it is overheated,
when it contains an excess of mois-
ture, and when it is chemically con-
taminated. This is the conclusion OF
the New York state commission on
ventilation as summarized by Frof. Z.
e. A. Wislow, chairman.
The first indictment against bad
air shows that an increase In tempera-
ture beyond the normal seventy de-
grees produces serious arrangement
Of the yaso-motor mechanism of the
body, resulting in rise OF tempera-
ture, increased pulse, and lowered
blood pressure, with corresponding
decrease In efficiency, both physical
and mental In addition to this, over
heating conduces to an undesirable
congestion of the mucous membranes
! of the nose, thus possibly paving the
way for colds, sore threats, and at
tacks Of various germ diseases.
The work of the commission also
proves that chemical accumulations

food, which in turn mist have an IN
favorable effect on the entire body.
In the commissions experiments, the
people living in fresh air ate'N4R to
Is per cent more than those nTing
in 9tagnant air. n
These experiments" says Profes-
sor Winslow, indicate that fresh air
is needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation is
just as essential to remove heat pro-
duced by human bodies as it was once
thought to be to remove the carbon
dioxide produced by human lungs, and
1t is now proved also to be essential
for carrying away chemical products
which exert a measurable effect upon
the appetite for food. People who
live aud work in overheated and I'M
ventilated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts of diseases,
such as tuberculosis, pneumonia,
grippe, etc"

A narrow street In wretched tene-

plated the girl.
She was poorly attired, of stunted
growth, typical suggestion of a pad
rone's slave. She glided forward to
seize the hand of Alan Pearce.
Keep him here till / can get far
away, never to return!" she gasped,
and pressed her lips in token of deep
fervent gratitude on his hand and was
away like a sprite. Pearce waited
till she had disappeared, square dis
tant. Then he cast look OF con-
tempt upon the wretched tyrant, who
covered like beaten dog, and went
on his way.
He told Annette Ryther, his fiancee,
Of the incident that evening. In her
gentle, plying way she wondered
what would become of the poor young
street beggar. Then, amid bright
plans for the future, the theme drifted
out of their minds.
More than bright were those dreams
just now. Pearce held good posi-
tion, he had saved up quite sum
of money, and love" and home"
were the words that beckoned them
to happy married life.
Pearce lived at a private boarding
house. He came down stairs from his
room one morning, whistling gayly as

of the "star boarder" on the second
floor, he paused. 1t stood open, and
a lively breeze, pouring in at the win
dow, had blown loose letters and pa

floor and out into the hall.

He had met Annette several times
and made no efforts to conceal the
fact that she attracted him. AS to
Annette, she had conceived a violent
dislike for him from the first Pearce
barely tolerated him. The star boarder
seemed to think, however, that his
wealth might finally make some i'm

Pearce gathered up the scattered
papers and placed them on the desk.
Then he closed the window SO that no
further damage might be done. AS he

Bolger, that was the name of the
star boarder, had been robbed. He
had left his room that morning for a
bare five minutes. The window of his
room fronted on the street. An organ
grinder had come along with whang-
ing disturbing instrument. Bolger
was aroused from late morning nap.
He hurried on his dressing gown and
went down the rear stairs to the
kitchen, bribing the cook to run out
and drive the pest away. When he
returned to his room, he found his
diamond pin and two rings missing

proved conclusively to the author that
these organs are the true apparatus

from the little stand where they had
lain when he rushed away on his
urgent errand.
Il know the thief" he declared to
group in the parlor IF / find the
jewelry thrown over the transom in
my room by tomorrow morning, well
and good. If not, / shall swear out
warrant"
Pearce was not in the room when
this remark was made. He heard OF
it when he came home from call on
Annette. His intention was to go to
Bolger and tell him of being In his
room that morning. AS he passed
It on his way to his own, however,
the absence of light induced Pearce
to consider that Bolger was either
away or asleep.
Pearce was just leaving the house
the next morning, when man wait
ing at the front doorway touched him
on the shoulder.
"You are under arrest" he an
nounced, and produced a warrant
charging Pearce with the theft OF the
missing jewelry belonging to Bolger.
Pearce offered no resistance. All
that was manly in his nature, how.
ever, came to the surface as, glancing
back at the house, he saw the face
of Bolger peering malevolently from
behind a curtain. 1t was less the man
mourning loss, than of one gloating
over the opportunity to degrade and
disgrace an envied rival.
Pearce was taken into the court
room of the examining magistrate,
Half dozen other prisoners were
seated just beyond him awaiting ar
raignment. Amid his own troubles,
Pearce did not particularly notice
them. He had sent for his lawyer.

seen Pearce leave his room.
It was just as Bolger was describ-

an interruption. One of the other pris'
oners, awaiting trial, sprang up. With
a quick dash she reached the side OF
Pearce. She chung to him, CRY iAg cut

"He was my friend. He is a good
man. / will prove it"

'I see what Pietro bring home-a

window. Pietro teach him. He take
jewelry. Come, / will show you where

The judge began to question the
girl. Within an hour officers OF the
law visited the den of Pietro, to re-
cover the stolen jewelry.

in custody, the first act of Alan
Pearce was to see that the poor girl
was placed in kind hands.
And when Annette and himself went
