Score One for the Hoho

The "hobo" has long been a social
problem, exasperating to economists,
pitiful to sentimentalists, fascinating
to academic socialogists. His person
al habits are the stock theme Of Jest
ers and the despair of sanitarians.
Now he appears in a new role, that
of health example.
Among the $50 dodgers at the mum
icipal dormitory in Chicago last
Thursday night the medical examiner
in attendance found not one case of
pneumonia, grip or influenza, though
Chicago has been suffering from what
may fairly be termed grip epidemic
that has kept the physicians on the
jump and has had 800 deaths from
pneumonia in the last ten days.
On the strength Of this record
Health Commissioner Robertson pro-
claims pneumonia "a silk stocking
disease" and admonishes us to regard
the hobo with certain admiration
and degree Of emulation. His very
"hardships," which prevent overeat-
ing, and compel him to breathe plenty
of fresh air, deliver him from pneu-
monia, which kills more grown people
every winter than any other malady
The fact is worth the bordering of
the prosperous. 1t does not counsel
abstention from the daily tub, nor dis
carding of warm clothing, nor avoid
ance of sufficient nourishment, but it
does give a lesson in temperance of
living habits and in seeking plenty Of
exercise in the open air. Though his
wisdom may be compulsory, the more
fortunate may make it voluntary for
themselves, and thus may with the
hobo defy the annoyance Of colds, the
blear eyes and wheeling breath Of in
fluenza, the aching bones Of grip and
the terror of pneumonia.

Maple Sugar Fudge

One pound of maple sugar; one
half cup of milk; one tablespoonful of
butter; one cup of walnut meats;
two squares of chocolate-unsweet-
ened. Use the blazer part of the chat
ing dish for this. Put the sugar,
milk and chocolate and butter in this
blazer and stir until melted. Boil
for about ten minutes, or until ii
forms into a soft ball when a little
is dropped in cold water, then take
from the stove and add the vanilla
and chopped walnut meats. Stir a
moment, and pour into shallow, we'll
creased pans. When cold cut in
squares. This should be a little SUI
gary to be right.

My First Teacher
Donald E. Crouch, Brethren, Mich)
BaclS in the years that stole away.
WI ule childhood ran its happy race.
Where sunlight more than shadow Law
/ hear a voice, and know a face.
A thorn-strewn path was hers know.
But duty held all grief Suppressed,
And goodness made face to glow.
Deep lined by sorrows unconfessed.
And one small hand that reaches to
grasp
On LIES rough climb the first hard
round,
Was folded in mother clasp;
A memory time has never drowned.
And on these lessons still we look,
For rooted deep and fast they are;
But she who taught has closed her
book,
And we that heard are scattered far.
o, noble heart that understood,
And taught the lowly, glad refrain
OF beauty, love, and common good,
Thy teachings were not lost, or vain.
For here and there from out the
hearts
That beat in little hayward breasts,
Things beautiful, that beauty starts
VIII come to thee as loving guests.

Alcohol and Automobiles

The Fourth Annual Safety Con-
gress," has lately been in session at
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Rose, claim agent Of the Penn
sylyania railroad, said that no state
should give an automobile license to
anybody who uses intoxicating liquor
at all.
IL is believed that nine-tenths of
the accidents are caused by liquor.
Even when the driver Of car is so
slightly under the influence of alcohol
that it could not be noticed, he be-
comes a little reckless, inattentive
and inclined to "take a chance"
The only safe way, said Mr.. Rose,
is to deny licenses except to total alb
stainers. That is the rule for engin-
GERS and firemen on the Pennsylvania
railroad.

Thousands of families buy for one

larger quantities. For instance:
LAMB
If you buy hind-quaTter of lamb,
the whole piece will cost much less
per pound than if you bought the leg
and the lOin chops separately.
If you buy a foTe-qUarter of lamb
the whole piece will cost, We will say,
about Is to Is cents a pound. The
forequaTter consists of the neck,
shank, breast, shoulder, shoulder
chops and rib chops. These rib chops,
if bought separately, would cost you
anywhere from % to 80 cents a
pound. The neck, shank and breast
of the fOre-quaTter can be used for

MUTTON
If you buy fOre-qUaTter of NUT
ton the whole piece may cost, say,
about 1919 cents a pound. The fore
quarter consists of the neck, shank,
breast, shoulder, shoulder chops and

der chops separately they would cost
say from IA to Is cents a pound;
the rib chops separately about p
cents a pound.
VEAL
If you buy the neck and breast and
rack together you may get the whole
piece for about II cents a pound.
The neck and brisket may be used
for fTicasse for one meal The breast
may be stuffed and roasted for an
other meal. Any meat left from the
roast may be made into a most appe-
tizing dish by ChOpping it up and
serving it with a cream sauce on
toast You can use the rack for
frenched veal chops.
If you went to the store and
bought frenched veal chops separ-
ately they would be cut off the rack
in the same way, but you would have
to pay or 4 cents more a pound for
them. Try frenched veal chops in
place of veal outlet.

TtHE influence Of the East persists in the
Winters modes 1t asserts itself In the
- prevalence Of rich brocades. 1t Is seen
In the Oriental effects of evening wraps. The
headdress is especially significant Of the East.
The harem veil is something known hereto
fore only in literature or by occasional represen
tations on the stage. This Winter for the first
time, it will be part Of the adorn ment of women
of the West At one of the smaTtest dances on
Fifth avenue this Autumn, bealfx made their
obeisance to partner who look ed at them as
the shy violet of the harem looks at her lord,
through a bandage of yelling placed across her
eyes. 1t is the same mode OF face drapery shown
in the photograph reproduced on this page Sur
mounting It is a modified crescent in pearls
Various forms Of veil will be used, according
to the taste and the ingenuity in adaptation Of
the wearer. The encircling band Of ribbon or of
jewels is again to be seen in the evening. A few
seasons ago the Greek fllet WAS popular. This
Winter 1t will be of the Oriental nature, for even
a fold of silk or a band Of vefvet ribbon has a
barbarc jewel or design to add its note Of rich
ness to the original simplicity IL that decoration
by the Greeks.
Even where it might be expected least the ORR.
entail note is struck in dress. It appears in the
metal trimmed tuft of fur cap. The crown Of
cap, shown on this page, is Of net embroidered
in a conventional design in silver beads. In
front is a semi.military ornament Of ribbon and
silver wire, topped by a bit Of the same kind Of
fur as that which outlines the crown of the cap
and which is carried up to it's top. Across the
crown which settles closely and comfortably up

The sumptuousness Of the East is strikingly
apparent in the wraps worn to operas, to dinners
and dances. Manufacturers are rivaing each
other in the production Of rich stuffs, and no
woman seems to practise economy in the direc-

Of this richness is long loose cloak of gold net
worn over velvet gown In previous seasons
the material itself would have been regarded as
rich enough in effect. This Winter the gold and
silver nets in wraps or gowns are finished with
an edge Of silver gold ribbon, as carefully
bound as though it were the braid with which
the tailor finished your street suit From the

gold tassels depend.

Birds Cannot Understand Glass.

It has been frequently noticed that
no wild bird can understand the prop
critics of glass, and great numbers,
ranging in size from pheasant to
titmouse, are killed by flying against
the windows of country houses.
If a room possesses a large mirror
rejecting the view seen through an
open window birds are particularly liza
BILE to be deceived, and especially if
frightened into thinking that they can
fly through it.
Sparrow hawks will sometimes
chase their intended victims into
strange places. Some years ago
a member of this species pursued a
small bird through the open window
of a railway carriage in motion. In
it's blind determination to secure the
painting fugitive it entangled its claws
in the meshes of the hat rack and was
ANONYMOUSLY slain by an astonished
passenger with an umbrella.

DERIVED FROM RARE EARTHS
Where Some of the Most Valuable
Metals Known Have Been Dis
covered by Scientists.

Rare earths are the oxides of such
metals as thOrium, cerium, titanium,
chromium, tantalum, niobium, tung-
stem, uranium and vanadium. The
most common and familiar uses of
these metals are: For thorium and
cerium in the making Of gas mantles,
and for tungsten in the making of in
candescent lamps. Tungsten, to-
gether with vanadium, is also used in
making certain kinds of steel. Thori-
um, or one of its compounds, is used
extensively in searchlights, motor car
headlights, and in fashlight powders.
Cerium alloyed with certain metals
makes the flaming alloy used in cigar
and gas lighters and to trace the flight
of artillery shells. The same metal,
or one of its salts, is used in pho
Biography, in dyeing leather and for
coloring glass. Titanium alloyed with
iron is often used to purify steel, cast
iron and cast copper. Zirconium oxide
makes crucibles and similar vessels
that, even when brought to white
heat, can be plunged into cold water
without cracking. Tantalum makes
surgical and dental instruments that
will not rust and that can be sharp
ened like steel and sterilized by in
tense heat. Nine-tenths of the tung
stem and the Vanadium produced is
used in making steel.
