REVELATI0NS0F A WIFE
By ADELE GARRD3ON

"Then You Must Be His Margaret '' "Ah here we are!" said Miss Sonnot Tucked away between two pages of her cherished scrapbook was a small envelope. Opening it., she drew out a number of clipped newspaper paragraphs, selected one and passed it to me.
 What do you think of it?" she asked.
 I took it mechanically. My mind was far away from the impromptu midnight chafing dish supper we had planned when, unable to sleep, we had met each other in the dining room.
 For as Miss Sonnot turned the rages of the scrapbook containing her most prized mementoes and clippings I had caught a glimpse of a photograph which I was sure was Jack Bickett's. What it was doing there I could not imagine. I was sure I knew the name of every woman Jack had ever met for I had always been in his confidence.
 The little incident jared me more than I was willing to admit I felt that I must satisfy myself that the photograph was really Jacks, and if so, how it came in her possession But 1 had a strange reluctance to ask her outright. I must devise some other way. In the meantime, I must give a verdict on the recipe she had handed me. I had not seen a word of it, although I had been looking straight at it. I read it rapidly to myself.
 Fry three slices of bacon crisp, re- move them, and in the same fat cook one sliced onion until light brown. Beat three eggs slightly, season With cayenne, add three tablespoonfuls of thick stewed tomato, the fried onions and the crisp bacon, finely crumbled. Turn into greased chaing pan, and pick it up with a fork as the egg thickens, then let 1t color slightly, roll over and turn on to hot platter.
 This sounds very appetizing," I commented raising my eyes to find the little nurse looking at me with a curious, questioning gaze. AS her eyes met mine, the expression on her face changed instantly. But I knew. that her alertness had seen my momentary confusion.
 Some Interesting Little Souvenirs
 Do you think we can manage it without raising the house?" she asked dubiously. When I spoke of it, did not realize it was quite so Complicated. Frying onions is no joke at midnight" .# ..-...-
 We'll do all that in the kitchen, with the outside door open to take away the odor," I decided quickly, and we won't attach the chafng dish at all. I'll put the blazer over pan of hot water on the gas stove and when our concoction is done we'll eat it imm ediately. I am really hungry aren't your" ........
 RaVenous!" returned the little nurse, smiling, and we went into the kitchen.
 Suppose there should be no onion?' she said with burlesqued tragedy.
 But there is!' I announced tri- umphantly.
 We both giggled, as if we had said something wonderfully original and hum orous. We were like two young sters let out of school, we women,

New York papers, discussing the trial of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite on a charge of poisoning his wealthy father-in-law, comment on his calm demeanor in court. It was asserted that Waite, in covetousness of the Peck millions, had accomplished his fath rim laws death with 25 cents worth of poison. Waite's peculiar sense of humor was shown when he permitted a grin to cover his fact while Eugene Oliver Kane, the en- palmer of Peck's body, told how Waite had tried to bribe him with S7,8o0 to put arsenic in the embalm- ing fluid. .....- ...

Surgeon General Blue Assisting.

Surgeon General Blue is assisting the
American Hay Fever Prevention Asso-
ication in every way possible. During
recent years the scientific men of the
public health service have made nota-
bic advance i'll the kno ledge of weeds
that cause hay fever, and is constantly
getting out bulletins OF this sort.
An authoritative treatise on hay fever
and its prevention was recently given
nation wiue circulation by the public
health service, and the heavy demand
for this from every state in the Union
shows the increasing interest of the
public in preventive methods.
The public health service says that
the only pollens which cause hay fever
are those which are carried by the
wind and are therefore in the air. 1t
lists among the most common hay
sever-producing weeds the following
Common ragweed, Roman wormwo ood,
giant ragweed, western ragweed,
false wormwood, marsh elder. western
elder. careless weed, thorny amaranth,
cookie burr. false ragweed and yellow
dock.
Attention also is called to the fact
that the grasses are on the hay fever
list. Nearly . per cent of the people
OF the United States are known to be
sufferers from hay fever.

Advice by Health Service.

Advice regarding eradication OF the
weeds is given out by the public health
service as follows:
THE method of eradicating the hay
fever weeds is naturally a question of
convenience and economy. The most
effective is careful cultivation. Where
this is not practicable, these weeds
may be kept down by grazing cattle,
and especially by sheep. When neither
of these methods is available, the
weeds should be destroyed or cut be-
fore they reach the Towering stage, as
this will prevent both the pollinating
and the formation of the seeds. On
the roadside, which is a faVorite site
for hay fever weeds, it is sometimes
found to be more economical to use
some form of chemical weed killer.
When these methods are persistently
carried out for a few years, the re-
energy expended
IAN important item in the eradica-
ton of hay-fever weeds is the distance
at which pollen may produce an attack
of hay fever. 1t has been shown by
means of glass slides exposed to the
wind that some pollen may travel a
great distance-even several miles. We
have found. however, that pollen scat
from the parent weed, the decrease be-
ing estimated to be inversely as the
square of the distance.
'On this account pollen is not often
a source of hay fever at a distance Of
over a half mile, and even much
shorter distance is often sufficient to
give relief According to the above
rule, a patient at 1000 feet, or above
three ordinary city blocks, would in
hale only one one-hundredth part of the
pollen to which he would be exposed at
100 feet"
Attention is called by the service to
the fact that weed laws already have
been enacted in Connecticut, Idaho, IL
linois, Michigan. Missouri, North and
South Dakota, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Alabama, Arizona, California,
Kentucky. South Carolina and Wash
ineton. 1t is the hope of those CO.
operating in the campaign that most
of the cities also will pass an ordi-
nance for the removal of hay fever
weeds.

i. S. CONSULAR! +! AGENTS
need AiD FINANCIALLY
Have to Fay Three Times OF More
Normal Peace Prices for Liv-
ing, Due to War.

Urgent need of financial assistance
for American consular officials and
clerical assistants in Europe, Obliged
because of the greatly increased cost of
living since the war to pay three times
or more normal peace time prices for
foodstuffs and personal necessities, is
shown in reports received almost daily
by the State Department. Almost
without exception these show that
what was regarded before the war as
an attractive compensation for con-
suIar employees today is scarcely sufi-
cient to provide food and the bare ne
cessitics.
The S150.000 allowance given by
Congress as a war fund TO be distrib-
utcd to consular officers to meet in
creased demands has been allotted and
the department now is without means
of extending further relief. No pro-
vision was made for the relief of clerks
and other employees and except for a
few whose salaries have been in
creased no assistance has been given
this class and none is possible until
Congress provides additional funds.

Investigation Made Year Ago.

a year ago the department directed
consular officials to report on the cost
of living at their posts to determine
development Of the increases.
Estimates showed that the s150,00o
would be sufficient then to meet only
from so to 50 per cent of the actual in
creased cost at all affected posts.
Department records show there are
about 600 employees in the European
consular service whose salaries are
$1,000 a year and less. In most in
stances these are natives employed as
clerks. stenographers or similar posi-
tions, whose expenses are naturally
less than those of the American en-
ployes. The number of Americans in
this grade of employment is estimated
at about $50. and they feel most the
need of financial assistance.
Estimates are being prepared of
amounts that viii be needed to give
the desired assistance to be submitted
to CongYcss, probably in December.
Nowhere in the war zone has the cost
of living not been affected. and in some
localities it has increased as much as
six times what it was before the war.
