NEVER BEYOND RIFLE SHOT
Had to Be Constantly in Reach
OF Protection.

Towers in Jerusalem" strengthened
the walls, which were somewhat out
of repair.
Towers in the desert" and wells"
were two absolutely essential necessi-
ties in the East Jordan country in
Uzziah's day and to the present hour
In 1901 I visited Shobek fortified
town less than fifty miles south of
Amman, and, while standing on its
huge Notifications, was told that the
limit of it's cultivated lands was fixed
by the distance a rifle would send a
bullet. In the same castle was a well
with 365 steps cut in the solid rock
leading to the precious water supply.
Wells were dug at great expense
where water was known or supposed
to exist, but for every one we'll there
were thousands of cisterns and pools
"heweG out of the solid rock. Both
pools and cisterns were protected in
many places by walls and towers of
defense. In my Journeys east of the
Jordan I have no doubt passed many
ruins and towers dating from Uzziah's
time.-Christian Herald.

FEEL CHARM OF CORNWALL
Artists Fond of Depicting Beauties Of
Scenes in That Famous Eng
lish County.

1t has been said that of the two
hundred or more canvases dispatched
each year from Cornwall TO London
"seven-eighths have been painted at
Newlyn or st. Ives" Certainly, in the
tangled streets of the little town,
wherever a window gives upon the
sea be sure an easel stands. St
Ives gets it's name from an Irish
princess, St la, who floated thither
upon a leaf and landed on Pendinas,
the rocky headland which ST Ives
calls the island st. Ives sits by
a smooth circle of sea into which
a tongue of rocky land thrusts bold
curving headland, inclosing an inner
harbor in the great sweep of the bay.
Up the green hillside climb the sum
mer homes, the villas and cottages
and hotels, that belong to the tran
silent ST. Ives. AS it's mean winter
temperature is but four degrees lower
than that of Rome, it has a fair per-
centage of winter visitors, while in
summer its hotels are crowded. st.
Ives does not let it's visitors inter-
fere with it's business, which is pill
chard fishing-a picturesque thing to
the idle looker-on, but heavy-smelling
work for the fishermen-and renting
studios.

Cheese as an Aid to Health.

The long cherished idea that cheese
should form only small part of the
daily diet recently has been chal-
lenged. Not long ago the United
States department of agriculture is
sued bulletin recommending the use
of cheese as a cheap and wholesome
substitute for meat.
An interesting and important asser.
ticn by Swiss Investigator is to the
effect that persons who make cheese
a considerable part of their regular
diet are very resistant to many in
testinal diseases, such as dysentery
and the dreaded typhus fever which
has desolated Serbia. According tC
Doctor Burri, the daily meat ration
in the Swiss army has already been
partly replaced by cheese, with excel
lent results.

A barb lace, with deeply scalloped

neck. The motifs are Clipped or cut
apart when necessary to accommodate
the curves in the underbodice.
Black chantilly lace about eight or
nine inches wide is used to form the
overdrapery. 1t is cut into four
lengths, and two are required for each
side. They are joined by the black

Lightness and sparkle are featured
in the fashions of the hour in much
of the finery employing tulle, light
laces and nets embroidered with yail-
lettes.
Older women have the privilege Of
appropriating to themselves the hand
soonest laces and richest fabrics. Be-
sides, they may look to intricacy and
beauty of design for effects more per-
manently fascinating than those ac-
complished with airy tulle and glitter
ing spangles. A blouse of lace, illus
trated in the picture above, portrays
a combination of laces with green
satin ribbon and band embroidery in
green black and gold that is rich and
effective and distinctly a design for
the mature woman.
A foundation bodice is made. for
this blouse, of narrow val insertions
in two patterns. They are set to-
gether in alternating rows, the edges
overcast or whipped together by
hand. The bodice and sleeves are
made separately, and the sleeves set
in. The bands of insertion are ex-
tended into high collar bound at the
top with fold of green satin. A
band oil green satin ribbon, five inches
wide, is. set across the front OF this
foundation bodice. just below the bust
line, terminating at each side at the
unde"arm seam.

Although a better combination than
the well-tailored shirtwaist and the
well-ftting cloth skirt, for business
wear, is yet undiscovered, the one.
piece frock is just as appropriate. 1t
is sometimes more practical than light
colored waists for wear in the smoke
laden air of cities, inasmuch as it
saves their constant laundering.
But the business girl is not to be
deprived of the beauty of crisp and
cleanly white near her face, in the
one-piece gown. All the models shown
are either made to be worn with col
lar and chemisette of sheer, washable
materials, or are designed with col
lars that allow the introduction of
turnovers of white A good design to
be worn with high collar and chemi-
settle is pictured here. The launder.
ing of this bit Of neckwear is an easy
matter, and when net is used for max,
ing it, ironing may even be dispensed
with. Shirtwaists of plain or plaid
silk are similarly designed and worn
with cloth tailored skirts.

The frock in the picture is of dark
blue and green plaid in an indistinct
pattern. The waist is an easy-fitting
plated blouse, set on to a shallow
yoke. The skirt is laid in plaits, also,
and these are stitched down to a point
below the hips but are only pressed
in for the remaining length Of the
skirt There is panel down the
front of the blouse, continued to the
bottom of the skirt 1t is prettily fin
ished with dark pearl buttons on both
the waist and skirt, which is of instep

The small sailor collar Is adorned
with an inlay of dark blue silk. This
reappears In the deep, plain cuffs into
which the sleeves are gathered.
One piece frocks, suited to the needs
of the business woman, are not always
made of wool fabrics. Certain silks
and crepes may be recommended for
them The addition of pretty neck
wear is an advantage that should not
be overlooked in adding variety and
attraction to everyday apparel

Measuring Moisture in Wood.

Experts in wood technology have
perfected instruments that measure
the amount of moisture in wood, and
thus have given to lumbermen infor-
nation of the utmost value to them,
since it has saved them many thou
sands Of dollars in freight charges.
According to one writer 1000 pounds
of green lumber fresh from the saw
and cut from green logs contains from
four hundred to five hundred pounds
of water. Nearly all fresh-cut wood
is at least one-third water Some
woods contain twice as much water

ANNOUNCEMENTS
DAVIS THEATRE.
New Show Today-Keith Vaudeville
 and TrianqIe PhotopIays.


 g There will be an entire new show at this theatre today and the feature at traction for the last half of this week is the DeKoch Troupe, a big time sen sational acrobatic and juggling novelty with five persons in the troupe. They perform feats never before seen in this city and have been termed the Human JuSglers. If you want to see something out of the ordinary. don't miss this act. The other act is Rob inson and Lemonier, two clever col ored comedians, who have a funny comedy s6it with a brand new line of stories and songs.
 The Triangle photoplay on this bill is Casey at the Bat, with DeWolf Hopper as the star. It is a five part picturization of the famous baseball poem which Hopper has recited from countless stages and at innumerabIe social gatherings since it first appear ed, more than a quarter of a century ago
 It will be recalled that Casey, the nEInclble Slugger of the MudVille base ball team, came to bat one afternoon in the ninth inning of a close game with rival nine, and, when hit was needed to win, inglOriOusly struck out leaving the entire populace of Mud vile gasping with amazement and drenched in gloom.
 The poem does not reveal what un- toward circumstance it was that caused Casey to fall down so grievOUsly at crucial moment This mystery the picture promises to clear up.
 Casey is the star hitter of Mudville's team. Besides his job and his ball playing, he has two other interests in life-he has a great affection for his little niece, and he is in love with a rich mans daughter. In the latter af- fair he has two rivals. one of them his employer, the other the pitcher of the FTOstown Eeam, AIudville's deadly rival. And ont of all this grows the story of the plot which embodies the nisfortunes that overtake Casey and his ultimate downfall.
 Tn Hopper's support appear such well known Triangle players as Mar guerite March, Frank Bennett. Kate Toncray. Carl Stockdalc and May Gar cia.
 To complete the show there is the usual two reel Keystone comedy and this one is called Wings and Wheels, and it is just one continuous Iaugh from beginning to end. If you like to see the best in vaudeville and pictures this is the place Go go.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoon fuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy Iather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy aud easy to manage.
 You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
