A coiffure which is beautiful from any point of view is not met with ev- cry day. Here is one which is exquis- ite from whatever side you look upon it. It convinces one that there is nothing quite so pretty as curls, and should prove that the classic lines. which it follows closely. have never been improved upon.
 The hair for this coiffure is waved and parted at the left side. The short hair about the forehead and temples is curled into very short ringlets. The back hair is brought to the top of the crown and coiled in a loose soft coil The waved front hair is brought back to the coil and pinned to it, leaving the ends free. These ends are sepa. rated into strands and curled in short tight curls. They are pinned close to the head about the coil. Finally

ON VARIOUS DATES
Anniversary of the Death and Resurrection of Christ
 Never Fixed.

IT IS something of an anomaly from X the religious point of view that the anniversary of Christ's death may fall on any one of thirty-five days, while the anniversary of his birth is always on the same. It is no less of an anom- ally from the astronomical stand point, for there seems no reason why we, having adopted the solar year as the basis of our calendar should cling to the lunar year merely for the es- tablishment of one date.
 It is mystery why, when the date of Christs birth was fixed on Decem- Der 9, some dates in April were not at the same time settled upon as those of his death and resurrection. That would have been logical and would have banished from the calendar a lunar cycle that has long been aban- doned by all civilized peoples.
 It should not be difficult to fix the rational date for Easter. If Christ was crucified on the 14th day of the March moon astronomers ought to be able to calculate on what date this fell. They say that in all probability it fell on April ' of the year 30 of the Christian era. Why, then, not fix Easter once and for all as the first Sunday after April z?
 It is to the Council of Nicea that we owe the perpetuation of our anachro- nistic method of reckoning Easter. This council decreed that 1t should be the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs after the vernal equinox, March 21. Pope Gregory XIII under took at that time to reform the Julian calendar, which had been in use ever since Julius Caesar, in 46 E. C. had prescribed that year should consist of 365 days, every fourth year having 366. This Julian calendar was re- form of still more ancient system based upon the motions of the moon, which system varied widely in differ ent lands. In Rome it had originated with Romulus, who established a year of ten months, having alternately 31 and 30 days, making BOA days in all. Numa Pompilius added the months of February and January, and in the year 452 B. C., the Decemvirs placed them where they now stand
 When Pope Gregory undertook to reform the Julian calendar, that had by that time become incorrect by about ten days, the revolution of the earth around the sun was not yet fully understood, so instead of making change that would be thoroughly sci entific, the present form of year was adopted, the Julian calendar being modified by calling October 5, 1582, October 15, and by making all ter minal years of centuries, 1700, 1900. 1900, etc., common years of 365 days, except when the year was multiple

 In those days they were so accus- toned to movable feasts that it never occurre,. to the reformers of the calen- dar that day might come when their movability should Se inconvenient. They knew so little about the rela- tions between the sun and the earth that they did not want to renounce the lunar year entirely and so upset the order of feast days that had from time immemorial been based upon the movements of the moon.
 Though the Gregorian calendar was issued in 1882, prejudice against any thing that came from Rome was so strong in England that it was not adopted there until by an act of par lament, passed in 1751, September 3, 1752, was reckoned as September 14, and New Years day was set back from March 25 to January l, begin ming with 1753.
 To fix one definite date for Easter would require decree from the pope. The whole Roman Catholic world and all Roman Catholics elsewhere would at once adopt it. and there is little doubt that the Protestant churches would follow. As it is a purely re-. ligious feast, this is all that would be necessary.
 In Russia and Greece the Julian cal-, efdar is still in use, so their dates ares now 12 days different from ours.

SAYS ACID STOMACH
 CAUSES INDIGESTION
Excess of hydrOchloric acid sours the food and forms
 gases.

Undigested food delayed in the stomach decays, or rather, ferments the same as food left in the open air. says a noted auth ority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Fly per-acidity, meaning, there is an ex- cess of hydrochloric acid in the stonl- ach which prevents complete digcs- ton and starts food fermentation Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which initiate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lum- py, misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate sour food or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.
 He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar- macy four ounces of lad Salts and take tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast and drink while 1t is effervescing and furthermo ore, to continue this for q week. While TO- lief follows the first dose, it is import ant to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus pro- mote a free flow of pure digestive juices.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and ;s made from the acid of gra pes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of people for stomach trouble with eNcelleh' fe- suits.

DIRECT WIRELESS
 WITH OLD WORLD
Communication to Be Established Be- tween United States and Neutral
 Nations by Marconi Co.

Chatham, Mass, March 9.-Direct wireless communication between the United States and neutral nation of the old world soon will be possible for the first time since the outbrea k of the war through stations now vir- tually completed on Cape Cod and the coast of Norway.
 These stations have been establish ed by the Mareoni Wireless Telegraph company of America, but the new plans of the company have not been officially announced. The impression has been given that the service might not become effective until the close Of hostilities. IT is generally reported, however. that it is intended to meet the situation arising from the war.
 The new route will be used for through transatlantic business as dis tinct from what is known as the "in- side' service, or the exchange of messages with vessels at sea. which work will be handled by the present Marconi stations at WelIneet and Sias- conset.
 One of the early acts of the war by the British was the cutting of di- rect cable communication between Germany and this country. Ger man capital, however, had a short time before, erected wireless stations at Eilvese. Prussia and Saville, Long Island, and in this way war news has been brought to this country di- rect from Germany without inter- ference from other belligerents. Wire less communication between Clifden, Ireland and Glace Bay, N. $, also has continued, but there has been no direct wireless service between this country and the other great neutrals. Accordingly, all the wireless war mat ter from Europe has been censored by one of these two belligerents.
