 The messages were understood to disclose that Dr. Dumba had under taken to advise subjects of Austria Hungary that they were violating a legal code of the dual empire by working in American plants producing war supplies for the allies.
 Involve Dual Citizenship. The ambassadors alleged activities involve the question of dual citizen ship, long a subject of diplomatic con- tention.

CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS

If you are constipated it is your own fault. It is caused by carelessness and can be corrected by cultivating careful habits.
 Diet is of the first importance, then ex- ercise and the use of a laxative until healthful habits are established. Harsh purgatives are harmful and make matters worse but Pinklets, the little pink gran- ules prepared by the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y., give nature the gentle assistance required and they really do correct constipation. If the laxative you are using is unsatisfactory try Pinklets.
 Write for free sample or get l-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist. A booklet on '''Constip It's Causes and Treatment" will be mail- ed free on request.

partment full recognition as one Of the

ing teachers, the legislature Of Ohio
has determined to properly equip the

journed its session, made liberal appro-
priations for this department Of work
at Wilberforce. There will be erected
shops. building a gymnasium. water
system, hospital and recitation build.
ing These additional buildings will
make Wilberforce one Of the best
equipped plants among the institutions
for Negro youths.
In the past Eve years the normal

Joseph attended school in one Of the
larger cities of the central states. One
day, having vexed his room teacher by
misconduct, he was sent into the hall
to wait until she had time to correct
him. One Of his departmental instruc-
tors came along and, seeing him in the
hall, said: Joseph. you mustn't be loi-
tering in the halls. Go to your room
and report to your teacher" Joseph
raised his hand to explain, but she
said, "Put your hand down and go into

Joseph had just slipped into his seat

Joseph, have you been a bad boy
again? Go to your room and behave
yourself" Again Joseph raised his
hand to explain. "Put your hand
down." she said, "and 60 to your room

Joseph, who was In tears by this

SEWING AS AN ART.

The Pendulum Swings Back, and Girls
Are Taught to Sew. RI
Every woman should know how to
sew. There is a mistaken notion In
masculine minds that every woman
does know how to sew. But this is by
no means a general ruling. There are
quite number of the fair sex who
have no skill whatever with needle and
thread and are quite unable to mend.
much less to make, their own attire.
When the first movements were
made toward the higher education Of
women, the movements which original,
ed the important women's colleges and
educational centers Of today, the effort
to improve feminine education and
raise it above the mediocre instruc.
ton of early days went to the other
extreme, and Greek and Latin and
mathematics completely usurped the
place Of the domestic arts.
Dressmaking and housecraft in all its
branches had no place In the curricu-
lum Of the modern college girl, and
the young lady who came back from
her finishing school might be very
learned In literature and the sciences,
but was very little use when 1t came
to sewing and busting and the many
duties of ordinary home life.
Now the pendulum Is swinging back
again, and one is glad to see that even
the most advanced of girls schools in
clude housewifery and other useful ac
complishments in their list Of subjects
1t is perfectly easy to be studious and
thoroughly well educated. to have a
good working knowledge of the arts
and sciences, to know languages and
history, and vet be able to handle a
needle and cook dinner.
So many quite young girls are inclin-
ed to think this Is impossible. They
feel that foury hands and an intimate
acquaintance with dustpan and
brush are things to be avoided. A
time comes now and again in the life
Of nearly every woman which demands
the performance of these simple duties,
and the girl who Is totally unprepared
for such emergencies may find herself
in sorry plight indeed.
There Is infinite wisdom in teaching
girls in their teens to make their own
clothes, to cook and to clean and make
up a room, and there are fortunately
many mothers who instruct their
daughters themselves in these matters.

prominently before the reading public
than ever before. The patrons Of these
