A plumber OF the progressive mo-

an ambition to produce a picture
play without titles. The idea Is that
a photodrama can be produced with
ont using word of explanation or q

This Is getting back to the panto-
Mime, with the addition Of the uri-
limited field of the camera. 1t Ia
not believed that all plays can be

more interesting than plays that are
produced with titles. In some in

sfble to get along without titles, and

thrills of this play are gained by a
combination Of the titles and the pic
tute. Neither would be effective
without the other. 1t might be
stated that the titles OF this particu-
lar play could have been made con-
out the climaxes. But they fur
nish an example.
Clara klmbsll Young Is one OF
those who has an ambition to pro-
duce an absolutely wordless play. She
believes that such play Is not only
possible, but that It is better adapted

 STUFFED BAKED TOMATOES.
 Stuffed baked tomatoes can be prepared in almost as many ways as tomato sa'ad One good recipe calls for canned corn, heated thor oughly and mixed with bread crumbs and the pulp from the center of the tomatoes. Season the mix ture with butter. pepper and salt. To prepare the tomatoes cut a thin slice from the top of each and scoop out the inside After the stuffing is in place put the tops on again neatly, and bake the tomatoes until t cm are a light brown.
 Famed tomatoes are tempting for very warm days To cook them cut firm tomatoes in half and dip them in flour, seeing that they are lightly and evenly covered For each tomato heat teaspoonful of butter In a frying pan, and when 1t Is hot put in the tomatoes flat side down. Cover the pan and cool them until they are tender and brown. Make a well prepared white sauce, put the tomatoes In a hot dish and pour the sauce about them. Strew with minced parsley.

Some folks simply cant get along without little inspiration clippings and quotations pinned about their desks, mirrors, bedroom walls, etc. And from frequent changing the pretty bedroom paper is soon filled with a smallpox array of pin bricks. The "inspirational' banner solves the problem. It is very simple, Have you a school or college pen nant which is not so sacred that you may not pin-prick it to your hearts content If oo hang 1t in a conspicuous place on level with your eyes and proceed to pin upon it and unpin from 1t all the quotations you please.

That country is Denmark, which uses every year some eighty million pounds of mar garine for population of two and half millions, or at the rate of more than thirty-two pounds for each inhabitant.
 The largest total consumption of margarine takes place in Germany, whose sixty-five million inhabitants consume every year over 100000 tons of the fat.

 Outdoor Sleeping Rooms Best. .
 It Is through sleep, however, that the brain and body receive their perfect rest. But how many people sleep in bedrooms which give them the benefit of absolute quiet, the darkness which is necessary for perfect slumber and fresh air with out which sleep loses half of it's benefits? Eight hours of sleep are The sleeping room should be ab- solutely plain. devoid of all gew- gaws. which attract and accumu- late dust. Many woman sleeps on a cot or couch and sacrifices her health to the appearance of her room. No one should sleep in the room in which she works or re- ceives her friends by day.
 If you want to get perfect rest at night never go to bed with a hairpin in your hair; braid the hair loosely in two braids Don't have too many pillows; pillows prevent ventilation, hinder circulation and too many of them render the flesh flabby. Choose a hard bed and do with just as small a qjillow as possi- ble.
 Every woman Is advised to sleep out of doors in a sleeping porch for some part of the year. In this way she will acquire the habit of fresh air and will not be able to tolerate the bad ventilation of the average bedroom. Her health will improve her lungs develop and the open air will invigorate and refresh her as nothing else can do
