TO Be immune FROM COLDS
Only Safeguard, Apparently, Is Con-
tinued Exposure to Elements,
Declares London Writer.

II you want to avoid all likelihood
of catching cold in future, you had bet
ter turn explorer and trOt off to the
arctic regions. There sneezes are un-
known, and a cough would probably
scare a polar bear out of its life, says
a writer in London Tit-Bits.
Although the clothes Of explorers in
those regions are often saturated with
perspiration, and are a mass of Ice
when they retire for the night, and
despite. the fact that they often have
to sleep out in the open in their sleep
ing bags, and that this is their only
means Of thawing themselves, their
health does not suffer in the least.
Then there is the classical and some
what mythical instance of the st. Kilda
cold. On the rock islands, lying some
forty miles beyond the western Heb
rides, there are abort one hundred in
habitants, access to whom is practi-
cally impossible during eight months
out Of the twelve, owing to the stormy
seas. Oddly enough, however. when.
ever a steamer touches at this island,
all the inhabitants, including the very
infants-so runs the legend-are seized
with violent sneezing fits, which de-
velop into colds.
Exposure Is not the direct cause Of
colds. The only safeguard is continued
exposure.

BLACK CRYSTAL TO BE USED
Seen on Ribbons Which Are Manufac-
tured in Paris and Are Declared
Bits Of Art.

The manufacturers in Paris who are
making the new ribbons for autumn
and the manufacturers who are max
ing crystal for the new winter blouses,
must have had some secret method OF
communication that made them join
hands in promoting black.
The cables say that the ribbons In
Paris are bits Of nrt that they should
be used on walls and as household
decoration, rather than on gowns.
They have black foundations. on
which are worked wonderful Chinese
designs. They look as though they
came out of the fifteenth century,
when no man was hurried and each
man loved his task.
The black crystal is not exactly a
new note i'm decoration, at least not
as far as Paris and a few ultra-fash-

cerned, but the majority of people

Battles Which Made the World
BLENHEIM
Louis XIV, but Almost Fell Before the Bravery Of the Irish.
BLENHEIM
By CAPT. ROLAND F. ANDREWS
where lay ii battaliOns of infantry, in
tcopyrshs, 1917, BY Mcclure Newspaper syndic.

where lay ii battaliOns of infantry, in
Guiding the celebrated Irish brigade.
A fog which covered the ground
early on the morning of August 13
Obscured the advance to Tallard until
the oncOming British left wing was
close upon him. Then he opened a ter
rife c%annOnade. Lord Cuts, with a
strong brigade Of infantry. hurled him
self against Blenheim town, only to
suffer repulse, while Marlborough was
crossing the little river, Nobel. Here
the duke was In serious trouble, for his
%squadrOns of cavalry became mired
in the swamp while the French artil-
lery played upon them mercilessly. 1t
was only by resolutely advancing
fresh men that Marlborough got him
self out of his predicament. Eventual
ly he formed his whole left wing in
splendid strategic position. only to
be placed on the very edge Of disas-
ter at the center where the prince of
HOlstein Beck, with II HanOverian bat
taliOns was charged and utterly
routed by the fiercely cheering Irish
brigade. Breaking through the lines
the Irish were close to achieving vic
tory akin to that they afterward gained
Mt F%Ontenoy. But their ardor carried
them too far. Marlborough sent them
Keeling back with furious cavalry
charges, while three hastily summoned
battalions raked them as they re-
treated.
Meanwhile Eugene, on the right
wing, was so hard pressed that only
the steadiness of his Prussian regi-
ments and his own personal exertiOns
saved him. However, he held on, while
Marlborough with a H~annibal-like re-
lance upon cavalry prepared the fin
fishing stroke elsewhere. At five in the
afternoon he massed 5000 hOrsemen
and artillery and sem them against
10000 French cavalrymen whose line
was interlaced with infantrymen. For
a time the issue hung in the balance,
for the British squadron wavered be-
fore the hot French fire, but the artil-
lery supports came into action most
manfully, the French fusillade slack
ened and Marlborough instantly order
ing a charge along the whole line the
French cavalry lost their heads, fired
In the air and dashed off the field,
leaving nine infantry battalions to be
ridden over by the overwhelming mass
Of British hOrsemen.
This won the battle. Resistance con-
tinued, the French making a desperate
effort to cut themselves out. Marshal
Marsin and the electOr did get away
from Eugene, but the "a battaliOns and
II squadrOns at Blenheim were forced
to surrender. OF the great French
army there remained, according to
Voltaire, only 10000 uncaptured effec-
tives. Twelve thousand were dead.
Fourteen thousand were prisoners.
The victOrs lost 5000 dead and 5000
wounded. Ulm, Landau, Treves and
T~raerbach surrendered. With Blen-
helm ended the proud visions of Louis
for universal domination.

In the days of the tie-back skirt,
little girls would secure safety pins
by indirect means, and pull the fullncss
Of their skirts back and up, thus hay
Ing a little fluff of their W below the
waist. They were always caught at
this by their mothers and nurses, be-
cause the safety pins tore the material
and made gaping holes.
Again, in this day Of elimination of
waste through the necessities of war,
we are to be put into the tight skirt
with its fullness arranged at the back
In Il series of slight flares.

will be widely accepted when the au-

prophecy, is the duty of those who try
to give the news Of dress rs it comes
out week after week.
The American designer, as well as
the French one, has gone In for this
upward tilt of material at the end of
the spine and it may be that the later
fashions will accentuate it.
Whatever may be the fullness,
.hOugll, at any special spot on the
skirt, those who are regarding the
question of new clothes must remem-
Der that the hem will be almost as
narrow as it was in the days of the
hobble skirt.
There Is q marked tendency toward
the sheath skirt in several of the new
costumes. The material sinks into
the figure after it leaves the waist,
and the hem provides only Il stepping
width.
The shOrtness of the skirt for street
wear is necessary. In the spring
there was a decided tendency to
lengthen skirts, and many conservn-

two minutes, then remove the tea
leaves, chill with Clipped ice and
serve with lemon quarters allowing
each guest to sweeten his drink or not
as it pleases him.
Cherry JeIIy.-Soften n quarter of a
package of gelatine in a quarter of a
cupful Of cold water, then add n half
cupful of boiling water. a half cupful
Of sugar and n cupful of cherry juice.
Stand the bowl in ice water and stir

finely chopped another spoonful of the
batter and set into n pan of hot wa
ter, cover closely and cook Is minutes.
Serve with cream and sugar.
When canning any fruit or when
the can is opened and some Of the
fruit strip is left, this should be care
fully saved and may be used as n pud-
ding sauce, as Il garnish to plain ice
creams or as Il basis for any number
Of delightful frozen dishes. A half
cupful of two or three fruit sirups
with n lemon or two, n pint of thin
cream or rich milk will make Il most
tasty sherbet.
An old and most palatable dish u.s.
ing blueberries, either cooked or fresh
IS this: spread bread with butter and
place in n deep baking dish, cover
with hot blueberries and let stand
for two hours until chilled when
the bread will have absorbed the eX-
cess of juice. This is a most tasty
pudding to serve children. Accompany
the pudding with sugar and cream.
