Belgian Queen Impressed
 With Women of America
Equal Suffrage But Does Not Believe in Sex EquaIity-Urges Women to Learn
 Hygiene and Nursing.

On Board King AIbert's Train in Pennsylvania, Oct. 24-(By A P.)- Queen Elizabeth of the Belgians ad- voCates votes for women, but she does not believe in the equality of the sexes any more than in employing militant methods to obtain suffrage. She said so today in the first interview she had given in America.
 You ask if I have gained any i'm pressions from the factories I have visited" her majesty said. 1T have been very much impressed with the cIear-eyed, Ted-cheeked girls I have seen in your worlEroonas. I think their evident happiness ia due to the pure air, the cleanliness and the gen. orally splendid surroundings. It is my hope that employers of worlin g people of Pe'ztun and all over Eu- rope will model their factories after those in the United States.
 ''We have lost So many men in war she added sadly, that the women mus work. and as women are the mothers Of the race every thing possible zheuld be done to pro tect them"
 Queen Elizabeth has very definite ideas on the educa ton of girls, 1t developed, she does not believe in the sepaH2 ttea et the sexes in school although she enphattca1ly advocates educating girls along one line and boys along quite another
 The war taught me- she said, that there s no equality of the sexes. My husband was a soldier and I was a nurse> se 1t was with all women. The future should see work divided along the same lines, When women are forced to earn their own living have no objection to their doing that for which they arc best fitted, but those who do not need to work should learn hygtene and general hospital work, They should be so- cial workers, librarians and play ground instructors,''
 Her majesty explained. however, that lack of equality between the sexes should not prevent women from voting.
 q know they are best qualified to select school trustees.'' she said, flor

Household Hints

Cake can be mixed more readily with a potato masher.
 Put a tablespoon of bluing in boil ed water for n-uslins and linens that have become yellow. They will be restored to their original wsiteness.
 To prevent the clothes adhering to the line in very cold weather, rub the cIothesline with a cloth dampened in kerosene.
 Before wetting goods that contain fruit stains, mo4sten the stains with camphor. The sDo7s will come out when the goods are washed, and the most delicate fabrics will not be in jured.
 To restore mating apply one coat of varnish. If put on with care mat ting will look like new and the fuzz that comes when worn mating is swept will be prevented.
 In starching muslns, ginghams and calico, dissolve a piece of alum the size of a hickory nut for every pint of starch. This will keep the coIors bright for a long time.
 Chloroform is the best agent for ink stains, especially when they are to be taken from delicate faces, cen- terpieces, etc, or silk of any shade, and does not impair the color in the least.
 To relieve gumboil take thin strip of dried fig, dip it in milk, toast it, and apply to the swollen gum. Relief is speedy.
 When making Parker House rolls, or other biscuit that you fold over, take knife and lightly press the Tough at the place where you dou- lie it. By so doing, you remove the 7ir and the biscuit will not 'fy back" while rising, but keep its original ,hape.

 Author of Timely Truths on Human
 heaIth.'')
 On the subject of corsets and tight Iacing generally, Drs. Wood and Rud- dock, in their ''ViraIogy,'' in part, say: ''It is claimed by many that the in furious practice has done more with in the last hundred years than war, pestilence, and famine toward the physical deterioration and destruc- ton of our race.
 Tt is not, perhaps, too much to say that the instances in which wo- men in this country do not dress tightly, are rare indeed, that few can be found at any age, and it is doubt ful if ten per cent. of the women of American birth, in any city of the United States, are not now distorting their natural proportions, undermin- ing their health and laying the firm foundations of future disease and misery, not only for themselves, but also for their children, by wearing tight clothing. The only remedy is to abandon the stays, hip-suspenderd skirts and use Ioose-fitting garments Nl-En Will man LttlI ana Induce health.
 Miss Annette KeIIerman in her re- cent interviews, urges the abolish ment of the corset and pleads for sane dressing. Prof. George Starr White, M D., in his latest book, A Lecture Course to Physicians warns against all autocracy in dress, ask ing us not to make clothes racks and hat racks out of our bodies.
 From an article by s. W. Dodds. NJ. D., why Women Are Invalids,' '' that appeared in Health Culture' (Sept., 191S) we note in part: ''The corset is adjusted over the central portions of the body, and encases the heart, liver, stomach, and other or gans essential to life and health; it interferes with the functions of these organs, and throws important mus cles out of use. Not enough is received into the blood, and the debre of the system is retained in it. The result is severe headaches, impairment of the digestive organs, constipated bowels, etc. Before the young woman is grown, the foundation has been laid for invalidisrn- The pelvic organs be- come seriously congested, and often more or less displaced.

New York, Oit. 25-Another world demand which the war has rendered greater than the available supply is for educated wives, according to re- ports from foreign missionaries re- ceived today by the interchurch world movement of North America.
 The demand" says a statement issued at interchurch headquarters lis particularly great in the Orient and Africa, where millions have re- turned from the armies of the Allies after having had a glimpse of occi- dental marriage relations and found them desirable.

haps Japan has the most unusual. There il is day of much festivity. Every doorway is symbolically decor ated, the usual form being a green arch. This arch is made of two small pine trees, bamboos and a grass rope. A small pine tree with a reddish stem is placed at the right of the doorway, one with a black stem at the left. Close to the pines on either side are set light stems of bamboo, while the distance between the pines, usually about six feet, is spanned by grass cope, raised just high enough to allow of passage beneath it.
 Bamboo For H2Ie Life
 The pine trees symbolize to the Japanese a stalwart age which has withstood all hardships of struggle. Feminine characteristics are attribut- ed to the pine with the reddish stem, and masculine to the dark. The bam- boo stems. erect and with successions of rings. symbolize fullness of years, and hale life. All unclean and evil things are kept from crossing the threshhold by the grass rope span ming the opening.
