She Objected at Last.

He had just gone into. the grocery
business and did nothing except talk
"shop-shop-shop" when he went to
see his best girl. At first she endured
1t because she did not wish to offend
him; later merely because she could
find no way to reprove him.
But her chance came. One night
when he was Mt her house he picked
up the telephone book and began
idly to glance through it. His idle
manner became one Of interest as ne
scanned one page. Then her wrath
overcame her. Its been bad enough
to hear you talk about nothing else
but that old store" she stormed, "but

GENERAL RAILWAY
STRIKE IN ITALY
Principal Cities of the Country Under
Martial Law-Use of Automobiles
Is Forbidden.

PARIS, Jan. 2l.-Northern and central
Italy are in the grip of general railway
strike, but southern Italy is not so Sc
riously affected, according to the Turin
correspondent of the Petit Parisien. The
Italian government was able to run a few
trains over the principal lines yesterday,
the trains being heavily guarded by
troops armed with machine guns
Martial law is in force in the principal
cities of the country, the streets of which
are patrolled by cavalry and are under
the guns of artillery units. Stores, the
atres and all places of business are or
dered to close at o'clock in the evening
and everyone is forbidden to use automo-
biles or bicycles. Police authorities have
ordered the magnetos of all automobiles
contiscated to prevent the strikers using
the machines. Relative calm prevailed
yesterday. The only disorders are re
ported from Genoa, where shots were
| fired at train.

The reading of the long indictment

finished by the clerk in Washington
county court until IL o'clock this fore
noon, although the completion of the
jury last night made it possible to make
an early start on the trial. The remain

Objection was made by Attorney
Stickney of the defense to remarks by

Shirts on the Installment Plan.

The output of silk factories in the
United States for the past year about
trebled their output in the last census
year, 1914. The manufacturer valuation
is about two and one-half times the value
of the raw silk imported Imports of silk
manufactures from other countries aggre-
gate about fifty million dollars. Exports
of silk products about twenty-five million.
All of which reveals the fact that during
the past year the people of the United
States have been paying billion-dollar
silk bill Never have prices for raw silk
from abroad been so high, yet more raw
silk has been imported than ever before
In Chicago they re even selling silk shirts
on the instalment PLAN Wage-earners and
small traders seem to be buying widely
Why is it that silk shirt seems badge
of luxury and aristocracy, and the posses
sion of one SO sought for, even in the face
of extravaganza. Meanwhile the Bomby,

! on spinning industriously. He never die

PEARLS IN TRIPE.
Found in the Frozen Meat-May Become
Important Product.

As result of an accidental discov-
cry IN the British meat inspection de-
partments at Liverpool, a possibly large
and important by-product may be
evolved from the packing trade of this
country. Briefly stated, frozen tripe
has beenl found to be potential
source of pearls. This comes out of a
recent report of the Liverpool Port
Sanitary Authority Medical Officer of
Health professor E. w Hope) for
1918.
The tripe was being examined for
unsoundness, and there were found
scattered over the surface of the mu-
cous membrane of some of these stom-
achs certain pearl-fke bodies of small
size; these in certain eases were verv
numerous, and the impression was for
med that they were the result of some
parasitic infection. Specimens were
forwarded to Professor Johnstone, D.
Sc, of Liverpool University, and the
following is his report:
1.-The material which the Medical
Officer of Health sent me was i'm
ported tripe which had been cleaned
prepared and frozen. The pieces / ex-
amined contained hundreds of small
iridescent pearl-like bodies about 1-32

were made and these were seen to be

| ''No nucleus could be seen in these

ever, that they originated round very
small parasitic organisms which may
have been sarcosporila or perhaps
eggs of some worm parasite. These
intrusive bodies were probably carried
in the blood stream, and became arrested
in the capillaries of the submu

A Double Explanation.

One morning a woman walked into
a village grocery store with a ma
jestic stride. 1t was easy to see, says
The Argonaut, by the sterness of her
expression, that she was somewhat dis
turbed
"This," she sarcastically explained,
throwing package on the counter,
cts the soap that does the wash
ing itself. It's the soap that makes
washing a pleasure. "It's the soap
'tThat ism t soap, madam" inter
rupted the groceryman, examining the
package. "Your little girl was in here
yesterday for a half a pound of cheese
and half pound of soap. This is the
cheese
Gum that accounts for it! - said
the woman as the light of understand
ing began to glow. 81 wondered all
night what made the Welsh rabbit we
had for supper taste so queer.

TRY SALT AND PEPPER.
Better Than Sugar, It is Said, On Grape
fruit.

Boston needs education in the mat
pepper and salt should be eaten on it
instead of sugar and that most of us
err in preparing it for the table. A
correspondent of the Herald. now in the
South, sends the following letter:
For number of years / observed
grapefruit in show windows with utter
contempt; because 1 knew of nothing
to eat with it but sugar
Later a friend of mine introduced
me to salt and grapefruit, and some
how later l added pepper. The COM
bination produced morsel more de-
licious than which the palate of man
knoweth not If you could have all the
people who now eat eat grapefruit try
it three times with pepper and salt the
sales of grapefruit would multiply a
hundred fold over night. You would
have to increase the acreage of
Florida to supply the demand Try ii
yourself and don't be stingy with
either your pepper or salt.
q also wish to criticize your
method of preparation. Instead of cut
ting out the core. take table fork
and pry out the seeds. This can be
done without disturbing the fruit
pulp to any great extent. Then take
sharp knife and cut around the rind
after which the sections of pulp be
tween the skins can be taken out intact
without any annoyance whatever, anC
the hull and skins left entirely fret
from pulp. 1t is mistake, as is FIRE
quently done, to cut through the cor,
and to cut up the skins with the pulp
as the ordinary skin in grapefruit i:
intensely bitter and when eaten rob,
the grapefruit of a great deal of it!
