MAGNIFICENT IN ITS DECAY
Ruins of CITY Once Wonder OF tho
World Make Strong Appeal to
the Traveller.

The Angkor Vat is crumbling tenn
pie in the ruined city of Angkor
Thorn, once the capital of the Khemer
civilization. Now deserted and forgot
ten, jungle city, Angkor was at one
time the wonder Of southern Asia.
Dusky noblemen in gorgeous array
walked the spacious streets and wor-
shipped Buddha in this shrine, magni-
ficent still in It's decay.
AngkOr Thorn lies on the right bank
of the Sien-Rean; the temple about a
mile from the south Of the city, in tri-
angular park surrounded by a moat.
Built in the twelfth century as tenn
pie to Brahma, 1t was afterward de-
voted to the worship Of Buddha. Quaint
friezes. exquisite In line, cover the
walls. Tales Of the gods, of men and
strange beasts are displayed on every
available surface. Stories from the
Ramayame are favOrite themes.
Visitors to the city today cross the
great lake and break their way
through the jungle. The walls have
crumbled, but one enters by the gate
way, an imposing wrath Of It's own
past grandeur, past the palace Of the
great king, past the temple Of Bayou
with its fifty erumbling towers, to Ang-
kor Vat itself, a journey through the
aforementioned past. In the temple
one is not surprised to find withered
priest, as ancient as the ruins them
selves, to all appearance, still carrying
out the sacred ritual. But In the halls
where kings and princes worship only
the bats look down today from cynical.
beady eyes. The jungle has swept In
a green tide over the glory Of vanished
kings.

Rich Fishing Ground.

What are termed the reef waters
along the north anG northeast of Hon.
duras form one of the rich fishing
grounds of the world The region be-
gins about 100 miles east of Ceiba and
extends around some distance south Of
Cape Gracias Adios. This is all more
or less shallow water, forming one
great coral reef with a number Of
small keys extending up above the sur
face of the water and forming small
islands. 1t is thus an ideal fish and
turtle ground.

The last assignment of selective
men from Jefferson county in the July
calls left for Camp Grant today Many
of them are Watertown boys and like
those who went before are obeying
the call of duty to the government and
the flag. Many of those who went be-
fore are on the fighting fields of
Europe, each one doing his share in
the great war for the democracy of the
world, While leaving home and kin
dred ties they will be borne up by the
spirit OF Americanism and the knowl-
edge that they will be supported by ev-
cry human endeavor of those behind
when they leave the shores of their
native country in the grand and GER
tainly successful effort to crush mill
tarism and autocratic power

Much is said these days about pro-
fiteering. No invective is too severe
to be hurled against the man who un-
duly takes advantage of the nation s
necessities to line his own pockets.
Congress at this moment is Wrest-
ling with the problem of levying just
tax upon the profits of large industries
which, while entirely legitimate and
necessary, owe their prosperity to war
conditions.
But there is another Kind of profit
eering. 1t seeks advantage through
political channels by imposing on the
confidence of the patriotic. PrOfiteers
OF this class are not always easily
recognized. They conceal their pur-

Alderman Beurhaus was it's author.

Auto owners when stopping for
more than fifteen minutes down town
should park their cars on the side
streets and not on Main street where
the street car tracks interfere with
traffic. 1t is a reasonable request, as
every auto owner will admit. Business
men should be the first to set the
example.

Palm Tree Has Lona Life.

It requires about seven years to
grow palms to the size necessary for
good fan leaves and after that they
furnish an annual crop indefinitely,
the Chinese stating that the trees live
for hundreds of years, producing their
annual crop. An old tree will produce
leaves as large as five feet in length
with breadth just above the lower
end of perhaps three feet.

Generally speaking, the person who
is engaged in any undertaking has all
he can do to take care of the business
without trying to conduct that of his
neighbor. If he keeps his own head
above water it will be accomplished
only by attending strictly to his own
business. Meddlers in others affairs
seldom accomplish much in their own.

PLAIN BUT ELEGANT
 EVENING FROCKS

Everything indicates that plain eve ming dresses will be worn, with ele- gance in quality, and cut, the predom- mating feature. A model of taupe velvet, open in front to show a blue satin undeTskirt, has little trimming on the bodice, the back being cut Tn panel effect and folded under at the belt, while the front fastening is mole edged. Another, of plum velvet, with severely plain long skirt, cut in one with the back of the blouse, and belt ed from the under arm to the front, has a broad straight collar of ermine across the shoulders, rolled under into narrow edge for the open front, which could be buttoned to the chin.
 The chemise models are most pop ular for the dressy afternoon frockg. One of black velvet, with trimming of satin front and back, corded into the velvet to a line well below the normal belt, and held in softly with an inch-wide velvet double sash, looped at one side, 1t was quite the smartest model of this kind. VelveS gowns blend well with the satin in sets of matching color, which are of ten embroidered in cobweb patterns of floss and bugles or angora and bu- gles, a combination which is attaining great popularity,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A homemade cough syrup that IS highly recommended, calls for the juice of one lemon, half a stick of flne pounded Hcorice, tablespoon of gly- cerine and two ounces of good bran dy. Shake well SD as to thoroughly blend the ingredients and then bottle' One to two teaspoons is the proper dose.
 Constant coughing is like scratching a wound on the outside of the body. So long as it is done the wound will not heal. Let a person when tempted to cough, draw long breath and hold it until it warns and sooths every air cell The nitrogen acts as an anodyne to the mucous membrane, allaying the desire to cough and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal.
 Salt will cure catarrh if used per sistently. Make a solution as strong as can be borne and sniff it up into one nostril at a time, retaining 1t there for a second or two. It should be used three times a day and the water should be slightly warmed.
