DORIS.

Though etymologists do not di-
recrly connect Doris with Dorothy,
and some believe that she is merely
a modern version of a feminine
fancy for a name a trifle out of the
ordinary. it is impossible TO believe
that her source was not Identical
with DOrOthea and that strange but
correct reversal Theodore.
Such being the case, Doris comes
from one of the early Christian
Greek names notably Thekla. St.
Thekla was said to have been a dis
ciple OF ST. Paul and have been ex-
posed 10 lions at Antioch. Instead
OF tearing her TO pieces, they crouch
ed al her feet. but nevertheless she
was considered the first virgin mar
tyr, and no higher praise is pOSsi-
BILE for a woman than to compare
her TO st. Thekla-
From Thekla came the French
Teola and then, through the eastern
church, Theodore signifying divine
gift, and, much later, the incorrect
Dorothea.
There have been two st. Theo-
dOras. one a virgin martyr and the
other a Greek empress
MasSinger composed a drama
dealing with the story OF st. DorO-
inca the Cappadoclan maiden who
sent the roses Of paradise by angelic
hands as testimony Of the Joys of

refreshing II somewhat Irreverent ex-

the days before the great English SOL

of the relief expedition at Metemme.
Gordon approached all mundane
matters from the point Of view Of an
old Hebrew prophet, going to the Scrip
lures to find all necessary direction
both for his temporal and for his eter-

had another side, according to Nubar.

Milk contains lime and other salts
which are needed for strong bones and

children who do not have plenty Of
milk. have soft or deformed bones

Children are so active that they
need more fuel food for their size

treated as carefully as the shoes they
protect. They should be kept from
great heat, and set "right side up with
care" to prevent their losing shape.
They should also be washed or brushed
so that the grit on them may not wear
down the surface.
It Is economy to keep two pairs Of
shoes in use and wear them on alter
nate days; the thorough airing on
shce-trees or stuffed with paper keeps
them fresher and more shapely SO that
each pair gives longer service. All
shoes should be kept clean and well
brushed. Leather shoes may be rubbed
with vaseline to keep them soft and
also to keep moisture from passing
quickly through the leather.
White canvas shoes are usually
cleaned with a commercial prepara-
ton. II water is used, no more than
necessary should be applied on the
shoes and they must be cleaned ON
shoe-trees or stuffed with paper to pre-
vent the canvas from shrinking. II
they are badly soiled they may be
washed with soap that contains whit
ing dried, and II necessary treated
with a commercial cleaner. All traces
Of the cleaner should be carefully
wiped from the edges Of a colored
sole; otherwise the sole will have
slOvenly appearance. White suede
and buckskin shoes are cleaned In
much the same general way. but with
special cleaners made for the purpose.
Chest or Bags Conserve Space.
Where conservation of space Is not
necessary, a small chest for holding
shoes may be added to the furnishings
of the bedroom; or shoe bags hung
on the inside of the closet door are
good. Pairs Of bags In different col

When a pair Of dress shoes could
be bought for q flve-dollar bill most
people were not greatly concerned as
to how long they would wear. But
now nearly everybody Is taking better
care of his shoes In an endeavor to
prolOng their usefulness.
For those who are not "shoe-wise"
the following advice on the care of
shoes given by clothing specialists in
the United States department Of ag-
riculture. may prove helpful.
Walk Right to Save Shoes.
Careful pOise of the body in walk
Ing prOlongs the life Of shoes. A care
less, slipshod gait wears shoes un-
evenly, while an erect carriage tends
to keep the soles and heels level.
Shoes. even more than most other
articles Of clothing. need to be aired
after wearing In order to prevent the
perspiration from rotting the lining.
Gilpin observer., 1920-06-10

1t Is q good plan to keep them on shoe
trees or stuffed with tissue paper, be-
cause in this way the wrinkles are
forced out and the original shape is
preserved.
Wetting tends to spoil the appear
ance Of shoes and to shorten their pc
riod of service; therefore, Overshoes
should be worn in bad weather.
Wet shoes should be dried slowly
and carefully, for heat tends to crack
the leather. 1t is especially impor-
tant to restore the shape Of wet shoes
by shoetrees or paper stuffing. Even
with the most careful drying, moisture
tends tor rot the threads with which
shoe Is sewn, and ian ounce Of pre-
ventiOn is worth pound Of cure"

Mrs. Goodman's next contract is to
salvage a schooner that sank in Lake

Pewabic, in Lake Huron, 55 years ago.
Succeeding where many men had fail
ed, Mrs. Goodman has broadened her
scope Of work until she now has con-
tracts to raise sunken fortunes In al
most every sea.
Mrs. Goodman spent her early life
in Mount Pleasant, Mich. and after
her school days she went to Toledo,
O., her present home. There she be-
came interested In diving suits. after
witnessing an exhibition of deep-sea
diving in which the diver went down
861 feet, remaining under water for 46
minutes.
Treasure on Sea Bottom.
This feat Of deep-sea diving con-
vinced her that securing the floor Of
the sea for sunken treasures would be
a profitable business. Remembering
the loss of the Pewabic, Mrs. Good

ed stock company. She went to AL
pena, Mich, and found Capt. John Per-
sons, who had stood with his father,
keeper of the lighthouse In Thunder
Bay, and watched the ship founder.
Later Mrs. Goodman located George

Captain Mckay was living in Cleve-

lonQ Life Sians.

Long Lie signs.
1t is said to be possible to dIstin-
guish long-lived person from one
who will not last so long at sight.
Are you going to live long?
First. according to well-known au-
thority, says London Answers. the
primary conditions Of longevity are
that the lungs, heart. digestive organs
and brains should all be long II such
be the case the trunk will be long and
the limbs comparatively short.
A good Indication of longevity, 1t Is
said, is long hand with short fingers,
which are not stumpy at the ends.
Blue, hazel or brown eyes, too, are
said to denote long life. Another
sign-large, open and free nostrils
which denote large lungs!
If you are long liver. you will ap-
pear tall when seated and short in
standing. Your brain, we are also
told, will be deeply seated, as por-
trayed by the orifice of the ear being
low.
