Of her family were caring for the other

She has seen her son gradually pass
the crisis in pneumonia, and for two
days has been as tireless in working
for other sick soldiers as she was with
her own boy. So fond have the pa

The sick boys who know how two

seemed hopeless, find new hope in the
Joy Of merely seeing her. The son In

To Relieve Catarrh,
Catarrhal Deafness
And Head Noises

Persons suffering from catarrhal deaf
ness or who are growing hard OF hearing
and have head noises will be glad TO know
that this distressing affiiction can usually
be successfully treated at home by an in
ternal medicine that in many instances has
effected complete relief after other treat
ments have failed. Sufferers who could
scarcely hear have had their hearing re-
stored TO such an extent that the tick OF a
watch was plainly audible seven or eight
inches away from either ear. Therefore. II

head noises or catarrhal deafness, cut out

may have been the means OF saving some
poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness.

lFrOm DE EIberfeld FreIe Pressed

(tfOm the ElDerfeld Freie Presse)
Frau Gertrude Winkler was sentenced
at Linz to two days Imprisonment for
falling to report to the authorities the
receipt OF a quantity Of old leather
from the town Of Ulm. When she
reached the Schwanenstadt Jail, how
ever, the warden declined to allow her
police escort TO conduct her inside. lie
declared that as there was nothing to
eat for the prisoners in the boilding
he could not assume responsibility for
admitting fresh inmates.
He added that If the intended pris-
oner would bring with her sufficient
supply Of food for the two days she
would be at once admitted. The two
policemen, therefore, had no alterna-
tive but to reconvey their charge to
the town hall, where she was retained
pending the decision OF the municipal
councillors.
From this incident, therefore. we
gather that he who does not come ade-
quately provided with victuals not
only need not, but may not, enter a Jail.

CFrOm the Chemnil1 voIksstlmme.l

At Leisnig a choirboy who had failed
to close the church door behind him
was chastised with a club by Francikus
Nagler, the choirmaster, who beat him
so numerically that he lay for half an
hour unconscious in the churchyard,
bleeding profusely.
To Judge by his literary production,
Herr Nagler would appear to be an
idealist OF the purest water, but the
way in which he treats his choirboys
hardly justlfles thct assumption. The
choristers have TO attend rehearsals
during two hours daily. On Sundays
they have TO attend four services, be-
sides being obliged 10 sing at weddings,
funerals, and so forth.
Their wages are 81 for three months,
and II they are i've minutes late at re-
hearsals 60 cents is deducted from that
sum. Moreover, they are constantly
beaten with a club or a walking stick
even II not quite so severely as the
unhappy boy here referred TO.
This is a case that demands a rigor-
GUS inquiry on the part Of the local
judicial authorities.

Finishing Touches for the Home

with the task of fashioning what she
needs with her own hands, if she be

finds that, given good material. and
exquisite care TO start out with, she
may make the simplest things truly
beautiful
One woman who delights in max
ing doilies and luncheon cloths and
all such things for her home has
been fashioning some good-looking
dining room appointments recently
of rather heavy, natural colored
linen, or a sort Of linen crash. For
her beautiful old mahogany table,
she made long runners Of linen,
woven about IS inches wide. These
she hemstitched across the ends
with deep hens. Some Of these she
adorned with a simple embroidered

medallions of filet set in, and quite

Straight Edges i'm CrOcheted Lace.
Speaking OF crocheted edges and
ilet insertions, in a little hook of
Patterns and instructions, recently
issued, allied Beautiful Crochet on
Household Linens" edited by Flora
Hickman, the preface calls atten-
ton TO the fact that For many
years convention has required that
the edge of lace border should be
either in pointed vandykes, or IL
round scallops. And there is no
denying that points and scallops
make very pretty finishes to the
edges OF linen. But this does not
mean that the straight edge is mar
tistic. on the contrary. there are
many forms of work that need a
straight edge, and many types
that are quite unsuited to a finish of
points or scallops.
"Fnet mesh crochet is a notable
instance. Here you have a form OF
needlework entirely built up of
squares. To finish this off with
rounded scallops. or even with
points, is to introduce discord. and
to spoil the whole, because scallops
and squares will not combine arts
tically. The square mesh, with its
straight lines running at right
angles, requires straight lines 10 fin
ish it off. And this is why it is
that a piece of filet mesh crochet,
if let into a plain untrimmed hem

if you trim that same cloth, con-

edging, it will look utterly COM

workers who do not feel competent
