TIME fairly efficient seamstress who
Il has what the French call "a sense
of clothes" can take d small allowance
in money and dress much better on It
than richer women who lack good
taste. Also she gets more pleasure
out of her achievements and there are
a good many women in this favored
land who have the knack of doing
much with little. Thanks to the wide
publicity given by newspapers to all
matters of dress in centers of fash

the times in styles.

in Paris. He will tell M. Klitz, minis

that both the executive and the gov
eminent are entirely favorable to an
other credit of $200,0O0,00O to Great
Britain, France and Italy without col

Urues Trial of Hindenburu.

The very fact that the trial of Hin
denburg would create a sensation
among the German people is conclu-
sive evidence that he Is one of the men
who should be tried. Little or nothing
would be accomplished by haling few
nobodies before allied courts and max
ing them scapegoats for the atrocities
committed in the name of warfare
The proposal Of the allies to try the
guilty is in the interest Of the cause
Of justice; to impress on the German

the cheaper foods and thereby deprive
their families of the important food
principles.
The disease which is prevalent in
undernourished children has made a
great advance in the last few years.
The word "acidOsis' Is so new that
it is not yet in our dictionary. When
bread and other starchy foods are con-
sumed most extensively, as they are
in most poor families, they bring on

difficulty in breathing, as the lungs
are trying to eliminate the excess of
poison.
Such foods as cakes, pies, hominy,
bread, potatoes and hot cakes should
never make up more than half the
menu. Young and old should eat spin
ach, chard, cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
turnips, onions. apples, pears, oranges,
grapefruit, and other fruits, as berries.
Where 1t is possible to have but
small garden spot, vegetables of vari-
Gus kinds may be grown and thus re-

beans served with butter, milk bacon
fat or in salads will furnish food
which contains right proportion of
the food principles.

bered 1876. rising to 242 in 1904, and
since that year steadily decreasing
until the present low figure Is
reached.
The unprecedentedly large figure
for 1904 is undoubtedly due to the
typhoid fever epidemic which swept
the town of Millinocket and which
has been scientifically proven to have
been caused by polluted water supply.
The history of the decline of the
diphtheria death rate has been
equally as encouraging to public
health workers. Back in 1900, the
deaths from it numbered 155, a figure
only exceeded during the last 20
years when in 1904, there were 1Se
deaths recorded as caused by it. The
decline since 1900 has been almost
uniformly steady and the statistics

ELAINE HAMMER
STEIN HERE ON
THURSDAY

A fascinating story that will ap-
peal especially to the feminine ele-
ment of the audience, a talented and
beautiful star, and a most elaborate
production, beautifully photographed
are what the patrons of the Colonial
theatre will see when Elaine Ham
merstein appears in her next SELF
nick production THE Woman Game
Thursday.
The story is based upon the idea
that it is no more than fair that a
woman should be entitled to pursue
the same tactics in her business in
life-which is the matrimonial game
as the man does in his.
The authors, Leighton Osmun and
Frank Darcy, have brought out ev-
cry possible angle to the situation.
The last episode of THE Lion
Man" will be given Thursday eve
ming and the climax, with all it's
clearing up of the mysteries that
have so entertained Colonial patrons,
will be a thriller. The International
News is always good.
