IT cosTs you NOTHING
SET EXAMPLE TO HIS MEN
Henry Of Prussia Evidently One Of
Those Leaders Who Do Not Say
"Gol" but "Come!"

Prince Henry of Prussia is an ar.
dent sailor, says Pearson's Weekly,
but he is known among the bluejack.
cts as a great martinez, and they fear
rather than love him. The following
story is typical of his methods, and
shows that, although he expects those
under his command to put up with all
kinds of hardships, he is by no means
above 'roughing it" himself.
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North sea, he suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bathe!"
It was bitterly cold day and the
water was like ice. The order was so
evidently distasteful that one of the
officers ventured to make a mild pro
test to the prince. Without answering
him a single word, Prince Henry, al.
though fully clothed, sprang over the
vessels side, swan out a good dis.
tance in the icy water, and returned
to the deck dripping from head to
foot.
After that, the sailors took their
bath without demur.

HAD NOT QUITE UNDERSTOOD
But lrishman, From the Land Of Large
Families, Was Naturally Inter.
ested In Conversation.

Two young kindergarten teachers
intelligent and attractive, while riding
down on the street car, were engaged
in an animated discussion. In the
seat behind them sat a good.natured,
fatherly.looking lrishman, enjoying a
nap. Finaly one inquired of the
other:
How many children have your"
twenty-five" she replied; "and how
many have your"
"Oh, / have only nineteen" replied
the first.
At this point the Irishman, now
wide awake with astonishment, leaned
forward in his seat, and, without any
formality, inquired in a loud voice.
What part of Ireland did you'se
come from New York World.

WHY "ANURIC"
is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from Backachs, Rheumatism and kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges
and pains OF lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine Is often cloudy, full
OF sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician OF wide
experience-sucha as DR.. Pierce, OF the
Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute.

Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited TO dresser scarfs, pin.cushion
c. 'ers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms In the pic.
ture a dresser set is shown, including
a scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows a red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushlor is covered first on
one side with small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over IL. For
the other side considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame and consists of a circu.
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge Of the frame to which
1t is sewed.

Investigation of the relations existing
between the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company, a subsidiary cor
poration. will be commenced by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission at a public hear
ing tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the
board room of the District Building 1t
Is probable that the hearings will con-
tinue for several days.
These two companies according to the
commission. are the only local public
utilities corporations which steadily have
refused to cooperate with the District
authorities in the work of taking physical
valuations.
The investigation probably will be a
step toward the ultimate separation Of
the two corporations. an end which the
commission Is hopeful of eventually re-
alizing. The commission contends that
stockholders of the railway company are
being paid dividends out of the earnings
Of the electric power company.
An important conference yesterday was
held at the District Building in connec-
ton with the physical valuations work
1t was attended by Commissioners New
