POCKET STOVES OF JAPANESE
The Kwairo Is Placed In the Clothing
and Fed With Fuel Which 10 Put
Up in Sausage Form.

The japanese kwairo is placed in
the clothing and the fuel put up In
sausage form, the whole looking some
thing like a metal cigar case. The
pocket brazier is used by railroad trav-
elers and delicate school children.
Aged people sleep with the kwino at
their feet. Cramps or collie are soothed
by placing the little strange instru-
ment across the pit Of the stomach.
In the Russo-Japanese war many
benumbed japanese soldier saved him
self by placing a kwairo in his bosom.
Immense quantities have been ordered
by Russia during the present war.
French missionaries introduced the
pocket-stOve into France.
The fuel now used was invented in
1882 by Sokichi Yamazaki of the prov
ince of Shimotsuke. The annual out
put by the trust company which bought
the inventors patent exceeds 10000
yen. .1...
The packing and transportation OF
the fuel, which is sold at very pop
nlar price, requires very careful atten-
ton. 1t is put up in specially prepared
paper bags.

ASKING for a Raise.

Have you ever asked for a raise in
salary? If you have not, there is some
thing coming to you in the way of a
brand-new feeling. | mean the Sensa-
ton you experience while approaching
the boss on this quest. It is not just
like sca-sicllncss; it is not exactly the
same az dropping ten stories in an ele-
vator; yet there are points Of similar
ity to it in each Of these. Walking
into the dentists Office with tooth
aching to be pulled opportunities it as
nearly as anything else, although in
this case the pain is reversed the boss
is the one who has the pain, and you
are the one to do the pulling.
AS much depends on your approach
to the boss as does on your approach
to the green, to use an expression Of
golf You must not shoot too far !;
neither should you foozle and have to
make an extra attempt. But go right
in as if you belonged there. Never
mind speaking about the weather as
self-starting device; say what is on
your mind. He can find out about the
atmospheric conditions by looking out
of the window.-Atlantic Monthly.

SOFT GOODS AND 'MERCERY'
These Are Two Of Many Unfamiliar
Terms Used In the Clothing Bush
ness In Australia.

Nearly all Of the terms used IN
the clothing business in Australia are
borrowed from the British usage. with
some additions Of local words and ex-
tensions of meaning.
For instance, dry goods" is seldom
heard, the Australian term being soft
goods;" but the latter term generally
applies only to piece goods, with some
inclusion Of ready-to-wear articles.
The house or shop that carries arti-
cles for mems wear is known as a
'smercery" and never as a haberdash-
ers. "Haberdashery" here means what
in America is covered BY 'notons"-
small articles Of all sorts.
Again. the shop that handles WON
ems wear is known as 'draper's, :"
and the trade is called the Master
Drapers' Association.
The mantle" department Is the one
that handles women's coats and suits.
The manager Of the store or shop IL
known as director, and an assistant"
Is q salesman.
''Warehouseman" does not mean .
man or house that stores goods for
others ut rental or hire rates, but a
wholesale dealer in soft goods and
the like. The business Of what Is
known in America as that Of ware
houseman Is conducted In Australia
by bulk stores"

OPERA HOUSE TO-DAY
big Timber"

The fact that Kathlyn Williams,
the noted Morosco star, and Wallace
Reid, the popular young Lasky star,
will be seen together in the Morosco-
Paramount production, Big Tim
ber," perturbation by Gardner
Hunting Of Bertrand Sinclair's ia
nous story, is bound to be~of ungs-
ual Importance.
hathlyn Williams has for some
time been one Of tie most popular
actresses on the screen. In her re-
cent productions she has been placed
first among the most emotional ar
lists of the country.
Wallace Reid, the vigorous and
handsome Lasky star, is now the
most popular among the younger ac-
tors in the photodrama, and in each
production adds many more admir-
ers to his thousands.
Big Timber" is a story of the
California lumber camps and all of
the scenes were taken high up in
The Sierras, in the lumber camp dis
trict How big trees are felled and
cut and handled is graphically shown
during the action of the story. One
Of the most unusual scenes is log
chute down the side of the mount
tain.
By dint of constant watchfulness,
Director Taylor was able to film
natural forest fire raging in the
big timber.
The story has to do with the love
less marriage of Stella Brenton, a
young society girl, and Jack Fyfe,
owner of the big timber.
The cast supporting Miss Williams
and Mr.. Reid includes such we'll
known players as "John Burton, AL
fred Paget, Joe King and Helen
Bray. The production was staged
under the personal direction of Will
lam. H. Taylor and the photogra-
ohy is wonderfully beautiful

John Robinson Circus

Within almost the inaccessible
wilds of Nicaragua dwells strange
race, undoubtedly the only remnant
of the aboriginal people who inhabit-
ed America. These people have an
ancient civilization of their own, and
to see them is to look at picture of
humanity as it was here perhaps five
thousand years ago.
Agents of John Robinson's Ten Big
Shows penetrated to this isolated re-
gion undoubtedly the only living
white men who ever returned to tell
their story. And they succeeded in
bringing with them a band of the ma
tive musicians with their instruments.
This is the bamboo Marimba, mar
sweet in tone and played
with great skill by these people. And
the music which they produce proves
that at some distant period these peo-
pie had developed the art of music to
a high degree. Their airs, while very
strange, show astonishing technique
The above is only one of the novel
features which distinguish John Rob-
inson's Ten Big Shows from the or
binary.
They will exhibit at Houma, Octo-
Der 49,

the fighting, the suffering and dying
in our war.
We MUST send them the food they
have to have. We WILL send
it. But we can only do it by
a wise and loyal economy of
food on the part Of every one. We
must stimulate our food production,
organize our food handling, eliminate
all the waste possible, substitute as
largely as possible other foods for
wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and
sugar, and reduce consumption where
it is excessive.
To accomplish these things is the
problem of the United States Food
But this accomplish
ment can come only from the COM
bined personal and voluntary service
of all the people of the land. To that
end we want all the people to join
the Food Administration. No fees
or dues; merely a promise to help.
Send for our membership pledge and

To Get Rid Of Ants.

A few leaves of green wormwood,
scattered among the haunts of black
ants will drive them away. Powdered
borax sprinkled around the infested
places will, it is said, exterminate
both red and black ants. Powdered
cloves is good to drive them away. An
other plan is to grease a plate with
lard and set it where these insects
abound. They prefer lard to anything
else and will forsake sugar for it.
Place few sticks around the plate for
the ants to climb up on. Occasionally
turn the plate bottom up over the fire
and the ants will fall in with the melt
ed lard. Or use small amount Of tur-
pentine run into the floor cracks with
An ordinary sewing machine oil can.

LEST WE FORGET.

Whatever comes, must forget that there better citizens than German fellow citizens better Am orleans than the children of German fellow citizens grow to be.
 The present apparent attitude of Germany is but the at ude of the Prussan ogarchy that since the Franco Prussan has grown to that Germany the foremost of on and that necessary to impress that belief upon the world is justifiabe.
 The German people would be glad to be at peace with all the world and especially with the United States for has been the dream million German hearts for fifty years to time find home of peace and equal rights for themselves and children American soil And in Germany today thou sands of grand whose eyes aching for sight of their grandchildren in the United States.
 The present condition is due to the arbitrary will of few war lords in Berlin, and not to the will of the German people,
 So while the American people will heartily support every of defense and ofense dictated by the government they will do hoping all the time that the storm will quickly pass and that the old friendly relations with the German people will be restored
