TRICK OF THE CAMERA.

e Is Not Difficult to Make Picture o.
Yourself as Twins.
In the Woman's Home Companion G.
81. Claudy describes the Photographic
trick Of having one person appear twice
In the same picture and tells the anna
teur photographer how to accomplish It.
"What you actually do Is this: Cut
from a piece of thick, stiff pasteboard
a piece which will fit into the inside OF
the camera and be held in place by the
folds Of the bellows. 1t should be 1T
ted in the fold Of the bellows which
win hold it about an inch or an inch
and a half in front Of the plate. Its
width should be half the plate opening
and a trife more-say one-eighth Of an
inch.
'NIake this piece Of cardboard thor
oughly black on both sides by dipping
1t In ink and letting it dry. See that
the cardboard is well seated in the
bellows folds so that light does not
leak past the joints.
'Pose your subject and proceed to
focus so that the image appears on the
right side Of the ground glass In the
camera Qeft side Of the finished picture
will be the result. The left side Of the
ground glass appears blank, because Ii
is kept from exposure by the card
board. Insert the plate holder, take a
picture, put back the slide and remove
the plate holder; on no account move
the camera, however. Very gently slide
the cardboard from the left side to the
right and replace the ground glass.
Pose the subject on the opposite side
Of the center this time. Then replace
the plate holder, remove the slide and
make a second exposure exactly the
same length as the first"

HISTORIC KAvALA.
This Grecian Seaport Was Known az
NeapoIis In St. PauF~ Time.

This Grecian Seaport Was Known az
Neapois In St. Paul'~ Time.
Kavala, the Grecian seaport which
has figured so Otter in press dispatches
during recent years, is noted as the
birthplace Of Mehemet Ali, the remark
able son of an Albanian farmer whose
career as viceroy of Egypt during the
first half Of the nineteenth century al
most precipitated Europe into war
Of nations. The house In which this
witty, willy pasha was born in 1859 Is
In a narrow, crooked street not far
from the Turkish school which he
founded, although he himself never
learned to read or write.
In Roman days Kavala was known as
Neapolis, and it was here that st. Paul
landed on his way from Samothrace to
Philippi, where there was a thriving
colony Of Christians, to whom the Epis-
tie to the Philippians was addressed.
Prior to the beginning Of the Chris
tian era Neapolis was the seaport Of
Philippi, whose ruins are to be found
some ten miles from shore on the high
way from Kavala to Thessaly. Here
the feet of Brutus and Cassius was at
anchor during the famous conflict on
the fields Of Philippi in AZ B. c., when
the assassinators Of Julius Caesar met
defeat at the hands of the legions COM
manded by Antony and Octavius.
Practically all that remains to con-
meet ancient Neapolis with modern
Kavala is Roman aqueduct, whose
two tier arches still convey water
from Mount Pangeus to the town and
citadel.

Our Sleep,

AS race we sleep too little. An in
fant's life is nearly all sleep. Gradual
~ as the child grows older the hours of
sleep are shortened. Youth till the age
Of twenty is reached requires fully ten
hours sleep. Although nature demands
fewer hours sleep in summer than in
winter, it has been proved that eight
hours Of sleep are required for the av-
erage adult in good health. By this is
meant not simply eight hours in bed,
but that amount of good, sound, restful
sleep night after night. Our power tc
work is intimately related to our abil-
ity to sleep, and there is no more reli.
able indication of sound health than
the capacity to sleep naturally ,sand the
more active and energetic the waking
life the deeper the sleep.

Queen Mary Shows
Much Interest In
Food For the Poor
Correspondence Of The Associated Press. }

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 2.-Queen Mary, in
view of her interest in the question
of food supply, recently summoned
Walter Runciman, president of the
Board of Trade, to an audience at
Buckingham palace. 1t is very I'M
usual for the queen to send for a
cabinet minister.
The conference was long one, the
queen being particularly interested in
definite details as to how the pro-
posed new food regulations would af-
feet the poor, especially the working
women and women belonging to the
so-called professional classes. From
the very beginning of the war the
queen has shown particular interest
in the position of middle-class wom-
en-, women of education and breeding,
who have moved for years in one
groove, and who were no longer
young enough to be able to benefit
by new openings when their old &C.
equations or incomes gradually be-
came insufficient,
lie SuUJCSl VI lOOu SSoiiOhiy dioo
is one that has engaged the heartiest
attention of the queen. "The queen
is herself a remarkably good house
keeper" writes one of the newspa-
pers, commenting on the audience
with Mr.. Runciman, "and if she be-
longed to the middle classes she
would be extolled as wonder among
her peers. Years ago, before war
with Germany was thought of, she
used to be quoted as an example Of
thrifty management and sound COM
mon sense. In those days thrifty
management and sound common
sense were neither popular nor
fashionable and it was considered the
smart thing to be wasteful and frivo-
lous and completely ignorant of what
went into the kitchen and the store
room. Even yet not everybody has
come around to the queens point OF
view, although they will in time. even
if they have to be forced into it. A
vast deal Of unnecessary spending still
goes on, especially among the So
called smart set, which is still lunch
ing and dining and going to the thea
tiers and buying expensive furs and
going in for extremes i'll evening
dress. Only an act Of Parliament will
stop them"

TENANTS MUST HAVE !
GOOD REFERENCES
Merry England is Not Such a
Merry Place for the
Renter.
DR.. MERGERS EXPERIENCE

an England the tenant is educated
to take care of the property in which
he lives said DR.. Nelson H. Mercer.
of Omaha, who recently returned
from a long visit in England. He was
talking before the Omaha Real Es-
tate board on the subject of landlord
and tenant. He said an inventory is
taken of the condition of the house,
when one rents it, and that IT is ex-s
pccted to be left in exactly the same
condition when he leaves.
1t was for this reason that DR.. Mer-
Ger was asked to pay for having the
chimney swept after he had lived in
furnished house for some time and
was. about to leave. He complained
bitterly. but discovered tina It was
quite the custom to do this. He ar7
gued that the chimney was drawing
all right, but the landlord informed
him that he must not look at it that
way, that the man who next rents the
property will expect the chimney to.
be clean. and that the last tenant is
always the man who is expected to-
make it clean. g
Pay for Soup Plates.
Also he was asked to pay for twelve
soup plates which the landlord
claimed he had cracked while living,
there. Two men had made most
painstaking inventory of everything
in the house even to examining every
tin pan and dish in the kitchen. A.
complete record was made OF the
condition of every article. Then when
he was prepared to move out, another
inventory was taken, and it was then
that the twelve cracked soup plates
were discovered.
He also said the landlord had q
lien on every piece of furniture in the
house for his rent If it is not paid II
makes no difference who the furni-
ture may belong to, Thus, he said
he was about to loan his piano to d
friend, and was advised against this
by his attorney. who told him that
il the friend failed to pay his rent
the landlord would take the piano Il
it ever got under the friends roof, >
DR.. Mercer said that references
we're absolutely required before one
could rent a piece of property in
England, and he recommended thai
the Omaha Real Estate board estab-
lish bureau of references and con
duct business somewhat on the same
lines.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Spectators Flock to Buying Side and Wheat
RisAa SharnlY.

nlB68 c0hfpy.
Chicago, Jan. 6.-Emperior williams
message to his troops that the war would
continue, acted as one of the many ele-
ments today that forced a sharp advance
in the price of wheat. After an extreme
rise of 5A the market reacted, but closed
strong, 2 to ~ net higher; with May at
s1.s4N to $l.s5h, and July. $1.51% to
$151%. Other staples, too scored substan-
tial gains-corn, v to IN; oats, ! to ",
and provisions, 12c to 32c.
Right from the beginning the market dis
played notable strength Besides the bel
ligerent announcement from the German
emperor, the course of the senate In deal
ing with President Wilson's appeal to the
European cobatants appeared to have had
special effect toward changing sentiment
in favor of the bull side Of the market
Leaders in yesterdays selling became con-
spicious buyers and the scarcity of offer
ings was so pronounced that the advance in
values met no material opposition until in
the last hour profit taking and weakened
evening up of trades caused sag
Enthusiasm of wheat buyers rested to a
considerable extent on advaices that the
number Of vessels at the Gulf Of Mexico
parts was ample Much attention also was
given to statements that domestic stocks
outside of the commercial visible supply
were rapidly disappearing and that the
decreae was likely in the visible supply
total on Monday.
Corn assembled to 81 bushel, May de-
livery. the highest price since 1892 and
with that exception the topmost level in
forty years. Active European buying Of
futures seemed to be largely responsible.
Oats shared the strength of other cereals.
Liberal purchasing for the seaboard helped
to lift the market.
Advancing quotations on hogs and grain
caused free buying Of provisions. Notice was
taken also of the fact that western re-
ceipts Of hogs for the week totalled only
gn7 O0O as against S7S 900 n wear ago
