When Pattens Were Worn.


Americans find it more difficult than
the English to understand what Dick
ems means when he says In David
Copperfield," women went clicking
along the pnyements in pattens." Pat
tens were an abbreviated form Of stilts.
The word is also used by builders as
tbyzfalhe Of the bSss q G615pn or
pillar, and so architecturahy the epft
ten Il the support used by a woman to
keep her out Of the water and mud.
From this architectural use has come
the secondary application Of the word,
meaning an arrangement attached to
the shoe SO that the walker Is raised
three or four inches above the solid
earth. says Popular Science Monthly.
If the mud and water did not exceed
that depth the shoes were thus kept
fairly dry.
1t appears that pattens were not
worn solely by the rich, but were lux
urles INDUCED in by the very poor.
In speaking Of n person who was not
especially speedy Ben Jonson uses the
comparison, "You make no more haste
than beggar upon pattens."

TO DISRUPT THE ALLIES.

Germany in negotiating with the Bolshev1k
leaders probably has no belief IN the representa-
tive status of the men she invites to conference
Even as the discussion of an armistice was CIV
en- publicity, the power of Lenine and has asso-
ciates seemed perilously insecure. Germany
does not expect anything binding on the nus
sion nation to come from negotiations with
Bolshevik emissaries. But she does see IN such
conferences an opening through which without
formal government action she may start propa-
ganda to stir up dissension among the peoples
of the nations arrayed against her. Just IN
proportion as Germany notes the growing CO
herence of the allies, she realizes the greater
efficiency of their war power and the over
matching of resources to which they will sub
ject her It is but reasonable to believe that
Germany does not hope for conclusion OF the
war to satisfy her purposes and promises II she
must fight to the limit the united strength OF
the nations party to the agreement against her.
Her hope is to disrupt the allies. She is for the
time successful in Russia; she made great Ell
fort in Italy to supplement the work Of her sec
ret agents by a military blow calculated to
weaken an impaired fighting morale. This
seems foredoomed to failure But in Russia
she still sees means of aIouslng sentiment
among her foes which she intends to use to her
advantage. But the Russian agency she Is
using is so conspicuously In doubtful standing
even in it's own nation as to make Germany S
need of any available agent quite apparent and
the allied nations have discounted already the
value of the German concihatory attitude ex-
|emplifed. If Germany is ready for peace
she really believes her foes would accept, she
will get on toward it faster by making direct
declaration Of her position.

Proverbs xxi, 7.
SEVEN THOUSAND FOOD SUBSTITUTES.

News comes by way OF Switzerland that sew
en- thousand substitutes for foods OF various
kinds are advertised and more or less used in
Germany. 1t is not easy TO understand how this
is possible, and hosts OF these substitutes must
be preparations substantially similar in their
composition but offered under different names
As the object Of all Of them is to meet a food
shortage with something that will take its
place, they are all of less value than the edibles
they attempt to supplant. Hence it is no sur
prise to learn from reports just issued by insur-
ance companies in Germany that malnutrition
is second only to military service as the cause
/ Of deaths. These are vastly IN excess of births
and leading medical men of the empire are
frank in saying that this lack Of nutriment if
long continued means the elimination of the
weakest, and is already causing diseases which
followed in the wake Of famine in early periods
Of history.
The allied nations, our own included, are be-
ginning to use substitutes for animal fats and
the views upon this subject of Professor HaIli-
burton, of London, a noted writer on foods, are
therefore Of interest. He shows that the short
age of butter and animal fats grows out of the
scarcity Of sugar and grain, which are indis-
pensabe foods for animals like pigs and COWS
which furnish edible fats. Butter or fat is the
factor Of energy and growth, and is a staple of
human diet the lack of which is impossible to
supply. The fats Of animal origin contain a
valuable substance essential to human growth
identified by some Investigators with the vita
mines. This accessory growth substance" as
1t is sometimes called, is not found in the
vegetable fats, and oils of vegetable origin
ohve, almond, corn, cottonseed, Hnseed, sun
IloWer seed, ETC.. are deficient in this respect

ines made from beef and mutton oil and lard

THE TIDE OF TRAVEL.
South and California VIII Draw Hard
This Season-Passports
Art &c E,,i,arro

Act as Embargo.
Where are people going this win
ter? The query goes the rounds OF
traffic men annually with the first
fall of snow. Always, the answer is
different. Travellers are as tickle in
directions as the four winds OF
heaven. Ask any tourist agency
Many hotel man who invested heay-
lily in some hostelry that paid big
returns for a few years has been
turned to bankruptcy when the
changing tides of travel left it
shelyed nigh and dry on some for
saken beach where not so much as
Robinson Crusoe and Friday passed
by. This is what traffic man said;
not in his words exactly, but that
was the substance:
Tourist travel to Europe is nil
Everybody knows that and Is no
news" he continued. "In the place
of the Cunard and the White Star
liners that shuttled between the two
sides OF the herring pond, carrying
thousands OF tourists, are now the
transports carrying soldiers and the
big freighters, all conveyed by cruis-
ers and destroyers. But shut off
IRON Europe, the travellers go some
where, because people are bound to
travel. The numbers are smaller
than in the ante-bellum DAYS. bur
still 1t amounts to big total Of
mileage and money.
Present indications are that Flor.
ida, especially the east coast, is to
be regular Mecca for tourists this
winter. Ordinarily, one can wait as
late as December 18th and be reason
aoiy sure OF getting good hotel reser-
yauons. This year everything was
picked up by November 18th, full
month earlier About the only
chance of getting reservation now
is from the cancellation by tourists
who have changed their plans.
The difficulty of getting passports
will shut off the volume of travel
that would go to Cuba and the West
India possessions of foreign powers.
Porto Rico will draw heavily. No
passports are needed, the boat SER
vice is excellent, the attractions are
well worth the effort and SO | look

seem so. There is a lot more to see
along the way than there is just
looking out on the gray Atlantic, and
California has real atmosphere of
its own. What more can you ask !?
Then, too, there will be considerable
travel on to Honolulu, now that the
restrictions are taken off foreign
steamship lines plying between
American ports.
well, anyway, this gives you some
hint of where the travellers will go.
1t has got so that good part of the
people migrate like birds. Not in
the same way, although they may
fly between points readily when
navigation of the air is a little more
perfected, but they have the instinct,
and present-day travel facilities fos-
ter it."

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fall
to remove dandruf completely and thai
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this, just get about -four
ounces of plain. ordinary liquid arvoni
apply it at night when retiring; u.s.
enough to moisten the scalp and rub II
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of youi
dandruff will be gone, and three or fohi
more applications will completely dl i.
solve and entirely destroy every singh
sign and trace of it no matter how much
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous
glossy, silky and soft, and look and fee
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any DRUG
store. 1t Is Inexpensive, and foul
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail
