TRAVELERS returning from a
sojourn in France before the
war brought tales of wonder
full melon grown there. 1t was
larger and far superior in flavor to
anything we had in America, they
declared. And so it was-then. But
for the past few years the same
French melon has been transplanted
to American hothouses, where it is
grown under the same conditions as
those in France and with equal sue
cess. 1t makes a delightful first
course or dessert and holds a sur
prise for those who have never
tasted it's exquisite flavor. Henry R.
Hallowell & Son, of Broad Street be-
low Chestnut, have taken over the
entire stock of these melons, but the
supply is limited. They can be
shipped by parcel post 1000 miles,
together with peaches, pears, plums
and other summer fruits Of superior
quality.

This is a tale of plunder. 1t was
related recently by the victim
of the tragedy, a charming
young matron, whose veracity none
can doubt. There was much excite
ment, she said, when it was discov-
cred that the locks were broken on
a window in the kitchen of her sub
urban home. Things were decid-
edly topsy-turvy. The larder had
been ransacked A tour of inspec-
ton, however, revealed the fact that
tempting homemade sponge and
layer cakes were still reposing on
their shelves. The only thing miss
ing was a big piece of Thommen's
sticky CHM bun. You'll agree that
that gourmand thief knew a good
thing when he saw it. If you want
to know why those homemade
goodies were scorned, stop in some
day at Thommen's, 100 Chestnut
Street OF 1920 Market Street, and,
take horne some sticky CHM bun.

MANIFOLD USES OF THE OK
Animal May With Truth Be Said to
Be Most Useful Of All the
Domestic Animals.

OF all our domestic animals the OK
is certainly the most useful, writes
Henri Fabre In Our Humble Helpers.
During its lifetime 1t draws the cart
In mountainous regions and works at
the plow In the tillage of the fields;
furthermore, the cow furnishes milk
in abundance. Given over to the
butcher. the animal becomes source
OF manifold products, each part OF its
body having a value Of Its own. The
flesh Is highly nutritious; the skin is
made Into leather for harness and
shoes; the hair furnishes stuffing for
saddles; the taliow serves for making
candles and soap; the bones, half cal
cined, give kind of charcoal or bone
black used especially for refining
sugar and making 1t perfectly white !;
this charcoal, after thus being used /;
is a very rich agricultural fertilizer !;
heated In water to a high temperature,
the same bone yields the blue used by
carpenters; the largest and thickest
bones go to the turner's shop, where
they are manufactured into buttons
and other small objects, the horns are
fashioned by the maker of small wares
into SNUFF boxes and powder boxes; the
blood is used concurrently with the
bone of black in refining sugar; the
intestines cured, twisted, and dried,
are made into strings for musical In
struments; finally, the gall is fire.

NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE
Lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch
Are Names to Be Forever Held
in Grateful Memory.

Marshal Foch Is taking particular
satisfaction at this time of the con-
summation of great victory to pay
homage to the fame of Lazare Hoche,
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillOtine eventual
ly to command that army of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at first
disorganized, badly fed and badly
equipped, performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation of French arms ON both
sides of the Rhine. To this day at
Weissenthurm. stands monument to
its memory and that of it's brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch
takes pleasure in recalling LaZare
Hoche to his countrymen. OF Hoche
it is said that he snce proudly wrote
to the minister foR war of his day,
"Je suis la patrie." The French Of
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en-
Enthusiastically as the contemporaries Of
HOche and Rouget de Lisle. With the
great mass of them, though they do
not perhaps express it so tersely, FOch
is ia patrie' in the sense that he GER
tainly stands for them as "la Victoire"
personified.

High Heels Lessen Vitality.

High heels prevail in spite Of the
promise of something wiser in build
coming into popular favor. Yet, to
quote a well-known doctor: mo wo-
man pretends that she is comfortable
when wearing high heels nor can she
hope to be graceful when wearing
them, for the body is thrown out Of
poise and the action of the feet Is re-
stricted. More serious than her awk-
wardness is the eventual injury to her
health. For in the effort to preserve
her Equilibrium the shoulders are
thrown forward, depressing the chest;
breathing is interfered with. and that
means poorer blood and a final de-
crease In vitality. This comes grad
ually, but 1t is inevitable when a wo-
man persists in wearing very high
heels. Her heels should conform to
the arch If her instep."-Exchange.

OFFICIAL cITYAnD coUHTYPAPER.

Gov. E. L. Philip says that while
he will not presume to speak for all
the people of Wisconsin, he feels
that he is voicing the sentiment OF
the majority when he says that the
league of nations covenant in its
present form is not satisfactory. 1t
would have been better had the ex-
ecutive confined himself to the
statement that he spoke only for
himself and not the majority as GER
tainly he was hit wide of the mark
when he says that most Badger peo-
pie are not for the covenant. 1t has
been significant of late to find that
many people who have been hereto
fore opposing the covenant have now
become some of it's most ardent sup
porters and this change has been due
largely to the fact that they have
at last arrived at real understand
ing of just what the covenant means.

Curious Clubs.

The recent announcement that an
English ld-Headed Mems club" had
Just met-the first time since 1916.
owing to the war-serves to recall one
or two odd clubs.
''The Fat Mans club" for instance,
was known to exist In Paris in 1897.
Its heaviest member turned the scale
at 3S6 pounds and the chief qualitica-
ton for membership was to weigh at
least 900 pounds.
About this time there also met In
New York the Society Of the Pointed
Boards most exclusive club. No
one was eligible unless he had care

growth and terminating in one SYM
metrical point half an inch from the

celery was served with its leaves
trimmed to a point.
