SenegaIese Soldiers Wear
Spectacles as Ornaments
To Impress Compatriots

Those whom fate has condemned to
wear spectacles may have some diff
ficulty in believing that anyone could
regard these articles as ornaments, to
be worn with pride and pleasure. This,
however, is nevertheless the case with
many of the Senegalese soldiers who
fought in the war. While on leave in
Paris, on their way home, many of
these gallant warriors have invested in
spectacles as the surest means of i'm
pressing their compatriots.
An optician relates that when he
tried to sell pair of spectacles with
plain glass to Senegalese whose
sight was obviously excellent, the SOL
der complained that they were no
good because they did not make
everything look funny" The optician
Immediately supplied the soldier with
a pair of concave lenses that would

ed student. The customer was salts

SKIRTS ARE WIDER |:
Smartest Models Show Difference
From Summer Styles.
Advance Fashions, Especially Evening
and Dance Frocks, Show Full
ness at Hip Line.

There is every indication Of the re-
turn of the full skirt, for the smart
est models now on exhibition show
much wider skirts than was the sum-
mer fashion. Indeed, in many in
stances the advance models, especial
ly among the evening and dance
frocks, show decided fullness at the
hip line.
The fullness may be obtained by
flouncing or full peplum Of the silk,
as in the case of very chic little
debutante dance frock, which was
shown with an interesting collection
Of youthful evening frocks for the
debutante.
The frock under discussion was of
black taffeta, combined with change
able black and green taff9ta. The
black taffeta bodice had a full peplum
to the lower edge Of which was at
tached full gathered peplum
stiffened at the hem. Sewn to the
lower edge Of the taffeta peplun was
deep, full flounce or tunic Of black
chantilly lace. The underskirt was of
black and green changeable taffeta.

Ancient Deodar Trees of =.
India, 800 or 900 Years
Old, Considered Sacred

The natives of the hill regions of
India consider the deodar tree almost
sacred. AS it's name implies, it is the
tree of the gods, and around many of
the picturesque little temples one sees
magnificent groves of fine old deodars,
perhaps 800 or 900 years old, trees that
no one would dream Of cutting, for
they are considered as the personal
property of the gods. Even should
deodar fall down from old age, no
hillman would dare to use it's timber
for his own private needs. Misfortune,
as he believes, would certainly result
If house were built of the sacred
timber, either the house would, refuse
to stand, or-what is the more usual
form of the gods displeasure-th
owners family would fall victims to
some terrible disease, or his crops
would fail to ripen. A hillman who
has had to pass through one of these
groves will carefully remove even dry
needles, that have stuck to his feet for
fear that he may arouse the gods dis
pleasure by inadvertently removing
some of his property.

New Medicine Discovered
In France Is an Extract
From Popular Mistletoe

There is brand new medicine, just
discovered in France; 1t is the extract
of our old friend the mistletoe. DIR.
Charles Green Cumston, Swiss CORE
spondent Of the New York Medical
Journal, in reporting it to that paper,
says, however, that the American mis-
tletoe will not do, as it's effects are
different from it's French sister.
The new preparation is called WIS.,
cum album. 1t was discovered by DR..
Faultier, and he and DR.. Doyen have
had great success with it in checking
certain forms of hemorrhage. 1t is
given either in the form of pills or in
jections into the veins. It's effect is to
dilate the blood vessels by paralyzing
the vasomotor centers Of the nervous
system; to increase the systolic energy
of the heart and slow the heart beats
to cause contraction of the unstriped
fibers of the muscles.
Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid
fever is checked by it, and it is said to
be admirable for use in hardening of
arteries.

CONSERVATION IS GOOD PLAN
Parents Worn-out Garments Afford
Good Material for Apparel for
the Youngsters.

Fabrics of all kinds are very high
in price and there seems to be no
Immediate prospect of reduction, so
that using every available inch Of
material to the best possible advantage
is advisable and, in the average home,
necessary. One mother of small
daughter makes charming smock
frocks for the little one by using her
own half-worn tub skirts for the pur-
pose, now that the summer is ended.
These little smocks are embroidered
in color. Boomers in matching shade,
made of Bingham, chambray or linen,
accompany each dress.
Having the children we'll dressed at
all times is often more a question Of
management than money, and the
same mother who uses her half-wofn
summer skirts to make smocks for the
small daughter finds material for many
boomers and rompers in the unworn
parts of her husbands shirts. Mems
shirtings are usually woven in attrac-
tive colors. The sleeves generally wear
out while the body of the shirt is still
in excellent condition. Here is found
an abundance Of material for boomers
or pair of rompers for little lady
OF three or four years.

Oranges, Lemons, Pineapple
and Apricots as Medicine

A diet of oranges will clear muddy
compilations and reduce superabund-
ant curves. Lemon, taken internally,
quenches thirst and prevents the bad
habit Of overindulgence in ice water.
Lemons clear the skin, assist the di-
gestion and help one get rid Of fat.
Applied externally, they are bleach
that will remove stains from the fin
gers or neck, freclles from the arms
or cheeks and sallow blemishes. Pine
apples are said to sweeten the voice,
restore the quality of it, if it has
grown husky, and aid digestion, which
means they will help to beautify the
complexion. Apricots are used for the
same purpose, and are much favored
in oriental countries.

"0il Of Joy" Is Produced
From the Cactus Plant

Various species of the cactus plant
have been used by men seeking forget
fulness of the woes of their existence.
The "mescal" intoxication, which is
produced by beverage Of this sort and
which has in Egypt and India numer-
Gus devotees, is described as being
even more enticing than the "hashish
paradise" without causing the physical
and mental disorders of the latter. A
similar beverage is the ''pulque" of the
Mexicans, which is prepared from an
American species of aloe. At the pres
ent time it is largely supplanted in
Mexico by "tepachi," which is made
from sugar and pineapple juice.

Alligator Farming Brings
Good Returns for Effort

There is much money to be made in
alligator farming. The demand for
alligators is large, constant and rapidly
increasing; the supply is limited and
there is not much competition. The few
alligator farmers in America are pros
pering. Alligators have to be fed on
meat, but they need no food from Sep
TENDER 1 to May 1, for this is their
alternating season, when they do not
eat at all. Alligator skins are used for
making bags, suitcases, purses, belts,
cushion covers, etc., and the teeth and
bones are made into cuff links, paper
knives, whistles and many forms Of
cheap jewelry and ornaments.
