At Last A Way to Warm Your Feet
Comfortably on the Radiator

N nth all its many advantages, the
wv steam radiator has not lent itself
graciously to foot warming. Yet
when you come in with your toes benumbed
with cold or wet through with snow and slush
obviously the first move is to get them warm,
and the line Of least resistance toward this
comfortable state is the radiator
But how to prop them up so the chilled soles
viii get the full benefit of the heat? II no
footstool happens to be at hand it is case
either of crossing one knee over the other and
warming a foot at time or of performing
a kind Of horizontal hornripe in the endeavor
to keep them pressed against the hot coils
without either scorching your shoes--if they

The Comfort Rail is a small thing, and sin
gularly simple and unassuming but it mean:
lot in the way of comfort. It is merely heavy
pressed steel nickel-plated bar, which looks
something like short, stout curtain rod This
is fastened by brackets TO the coils Of the
radiator and can be adjusted at any height
The bracket arrangement also is very sim
pie. but holds so firmly that the bar if rightly
put on, will never slip. Each bracket consists
Of cross plate, which rests against the coils
in front; a cross bar which fits into the back
a bolt long enough to extend the full width Of
the coils and a standard upon which the raj
rests. The rail, by an ingenious arrangement
is attached firmly to the standard and the
bolts grip it in position to the coils Of the
radiator.

Join Our Society for the Promotion of
Useful Giving

4 USELESS Christmas and New Years
gifts appear to be swept off the board
this year. No one has money, time
or energy TO 90 shopping around for those cost
ly idiotic trifes that we have been accustomed
TO buy. wrap up in ribbons and send off with
a feeling Of relief that another name could
be crossed off the list, or have in our turn, re-
ceived looked at cynicay and filed away for
ultimate disposal at the next bazaar or rum
mage sale.
The passing Of this burdensome phase Of en-
travagance is not one of the least of the bless
ings which already are showing themselves as
byproducts Of the world tragedy. But this
does not mean the omission Of Christmas gifts.
Far from il.
The need for wise. generous and ceaseless
giving has become universal. We have grown
SO into the habit Of giving that at last we have
gained wisdom enough to select our gifts with
some idea Of their usefulness to the person
who is to receive them
The busy housewife who is trying TO con
serve time and energy as well as food and
money, is learning rapidly that il can be done
only when she learns 20 manage her home as
man manages his business. She is learning
mat money which is spent for appliances that
wlll lessen her work by increasing her efficiency
Is money saved
But oontrive as she will, it is usually i'm
possible to stretch her housekeeping allowance
sufficiently 10 pay all the bills and leave enough
over for the purchase Of the household con
veniences which would mean so much This is
the golden opportunity for the rest of the fam
lily who want TO find something that mother
will really like.
Why not try some Of the electric CONVEX
fences? If the whole family feels like clubbing
together for fairly expensive present. there
is the little portable sewing machine that runs
by electricity and does away with some nine
tenths Of the labor u sewing. There is the

First Aid to an Attractive Dessert

I'm ENGLAND or France, where so much
stress is laid upon the appearance Of
- dish, the moulds for jellies, ices, frozen
desserts, etc. are many and elaborate in shape.
In this country fancy moulds are used in es-
adjustments in which there is more or less
elaboration in table service, but the practical
housewife is more likely to bake her pudding
in a pan.
But in these days Of economy of food ma
teras it is worth while to give more attention
to devices that will attract the eye. An ele-
ment Of novelty is a very great appetizer and
4 plain pudding will seem quite luxurious if
only it is pretty enough.
Here are three moulds for paddings, fees,
jellies or small cakes. They are designed after
the block tin moulds used abroad but are made
Of east aluminium, which is no more expensive
than good tin mould and much more durable.
Made by the Wagner Manufacturing Com
pauy, Sidney, Ohio. Jelly Moulds Prices:
No. /, 25 cents; No. 3, SIS cents. Individual

We have tested all these and scores Of 9th

good. We have told you all about them in

list and remind yourself that any one of these
will be most useful and welcome gift TO the

sve and nearly all small enough to be carried
home, thus saving the congestion and delay Of

cveIIs+ MESSENGERS Satisfactory.

One Of the difficulties that has been
experienced by infantry following up
q retreat, has been the quick trans
mission of reports and the mainten-
ance of touch with their flanking col
umn, writes war correspondent. In
cyclist training no little time is de-
voted to perfecting the system OF COM
munication, and experience has proved
that cyclist messengers are both a
speedier and more reliable means OF
communication than either telephones,
which have to be laid, or visual sig
mailing.
Prior to 1914, there were many who
asserted that cyclists were too vulner-
able to be Of use. 1t has been proved
already that they were wrong, even
though the character Of the war in
the West has not been peculiarly IA
vorable to cyclist operations, and that
cyclist battalions are and will con-
tinue to be one of the most important
and valuable arms Of the service.

HOSPITAL IS COSMOPOLITAN
Founded by American, Has British
Personnel, French Administration.


Just outside the town OF Nevers
there is hospital that is French in its
administration, English in its person
mel and American by the generosity
that supports it and makes 1t a model
institution. 1t was started In 1914 by
Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, wife of the
counselor of the American embassy,
who was instrumental in organizing
eleven similar establishments.
Among the nurses assistants is Prin-
cess Louise of Battenberg-who
through a decision of King George re-
garding the modification Of names Of
German origin, became Lady Louise
Mountbatten. She is the daughter OF
Prince Louis of Battenberg, who was
rrst lord of the British admiralty when
the war began.
Lady Louise Mountbatten is the first
to take hold Of the most thankless and
prosaic duties. Working with her Is

raj Paget, and other DDghsh women Of

GROWING OF COCKS
Rooster's Midnight Alarm May
Be Haunt of Soldier?
Historical Events Are Quoted to Show
Effects of Cali at Regular
Hours.

Is the growing of the cock the
haunt of soldiers?
Philosophers might ask themselves
this question, fools might hesitate long
enough with ray Of intelligence to
remark, ''It does look funny" The
cock sounds his first shrill clarion call
at twelve o'clock, midnight.
His neighboring cock from an emf
nent perch in an apple tree hears it
and answers ''auwk-cr-uk-er-oo-o.'
Then he sleeps again and an hour
later sounds the second watch of the
night. He sleeps some more. lie
sounds the call from the barracks ANA
his neighbors join in to make tie
dawning welkin ring.
Through this Eastern section, where
eastern and central time changes and
the country is thickly settled, there is
an hour difference in the time Of the
midnight growing of the cock within
a few miles ride of the traveller.
Since the war began in Europe and
the nations engaged in that conflict
set the clocks back an hour for mill
tary reasons, it is said that the COCK
has adjusted his midnight growing to
suit the hour by the clock.
Beginning two weeks before Christ
mas the cock crows first at ten o'clock
at night and then at the regular hours
as before until after Christmas eve.
When the Roman empire claimed Its
outpoSts as the outpoSts Of civilization
and it's armies as legions, the watches
of the night were sounded by the bu-
gle of the sentinel from his tower sta
toned wherever the mighty country
had laid claim to domain. 1t was then
that the growing of the cock seems to
have become connected with the SOL
dier's call of the watches Of the night.
s'The cock shall not thrice crow this
night before you shall deny me-" 1t
is mentioned in the Bible to denote
the watches of the night.
The Christmas festivities in the
early days of Christianity lasted sew
eral days, beginning prior to Christ
mas day and the revelries of the night,
in which wines flowed freely, doubt
less led to a curfew call which de-
scended to the cock as the other watch
calls of the soldiers bugle. -.
In the present world war when the
haunt Of the soldier is again world
wide, it is not unlikely that it might
exert an influence on the life of the
domestic animal. The horse, it is
claimed by scientists, can scent the
battle from afar and his nature even
feels the approach Of war.
Even again the time of the uni
versal growing Of the cock might be
changed by the effect Of the military
change Of the people Of the day.

to place a large number Of these

is only 5000. At this place the war
camp community recreation fund COM
mittee plans to spend over So0,o00 In
clubs and auditOriumS needed for the
entertainment of soldiers in the nearby
community.
The report points out what has been
done at the Newport (R. ~ Naval
Training station. There the local Red
Cross committee joined with the COM
munity recreation fund in opening
Ane clubhouse for the three or four
thousand naval reservists and six thou
san seamen apprentices in training.
An old estate of 1877 acres was secured.
The old three-story house was convert
ed into clubhouse with pool and bill
lard tables, piano, writing and reading
material and lunchroom. At the pri-
vate beach near by there was good
bathing, which hundreds of the men
enioyed every afternoon. Baseball
diamonds, tennis grounds and volley
ball courts were provided, and in the
evenings entertainments were given.
all of which were attended by thou
sands of men. Although the attend
ance at this Newport Navy Recruits
club on some days was as much as SIX
thousand, it is recorded as a splendid
tribute to the men enlisted in the navy
that in four months nothing about the
house or grounds was destroyed or car
ried away. William F. Ashe Of Pitts
burgh was the community organizer
who started this movement at New
port for the Playground and Recrea-
ton Association of America.
"community Sings"
Mr.. Manning in his report describes
some of the remarkable and successful
community sings" which have been
held at Syracuse, N. Y, and elsewhere.
AS to the success of this sort of SOL
diers' amusement, Spencer Gordon,
community worker at Syracuse, re-
ports: Between five and six thousand
eager men participated with the Com
munity chorus in the most inspiring
evening have ever enjoyed. The COM
handing officer came forward after the
singing and said it was the greatest
thing he had ever listened to.
The aim in every community, accord
ing to the report, is to make the SOL
dier or sailor acquainted with families
or individuals who will be his friends.
Activities for entertaining the men in
clude auto rides, Sunday dinners, ath-
letic and field events, dances, enter
tainments at clubs, theaters and NOV
ing picture houses, the permission
to use swimming pools in clubs, OF bill

facilities-in fact, to provide for the
enlisted man every form of good recre-
alton which the civilian enjoys.

concluding his report, "citizens and
cities are finding their own souls and,
after the war, a new spirit Of citizen
