Miami Beach,

Miami Beach.
In order to get to Miami Beach
you have to cross one of the long
est bridges in the world. Exact
figures We lack, but it is some
where around a half a mile long,
and it crosses narrow bay which
separates the beach from the main
land where the town of Miami
stands.
All along the east coast Of Flor
lea, there is this same formation
a narrow protected shallow water
way between the seacoast and the
mainland. This inland waterway
makes 1t possible for every small
and fragile craft to travel along the
coast in perfect safety. but it also
makes it necessary at nearly all of
the Florida resorts to cross q strip
of water in order to reach the
beach.
1t is said that the man who built
this wooden bridge at Miami, back
in the days when it was not much
Of town. was widely regarded as
a fool. But both he and Miami
prospered. and he has taken in
many times the cost of his bridge
in tolls, while another man has
made fortune by building a pavil-
ion and bathhouss on the beach
ITSELF Now q great canseway of
cement is being built to replace the
old wooden bridge, and islands are
being made along its course by
dredging up sand from the bottom
and making piles Of Il This sand
contains so much lime that 1t binds
and makes a hrm foundation for
building. The artificial islands are
selling for very high prices. and
the wisdom OF the fool Is emply
proven.

Those bidding for public favor have DIS
covered at various times that Washington, D.
c., is not the whole United States. Everything
would be nicely lined up At the capital, where
they are supposed to be running the govern
ment only to find later that the rest Of the
country wouldn't stand for tho deal.
Now German reacionaries arc discovering
that Berlin is not all there Is Of Germany.
Control Of the seat Of the power which once
ran the whole works was Thought sufficient for
their purposes. It proved easy to secure. but
the rest ofsGermany has refused to fall in line.
Maybe they have learned something from the
war, after all.
There isn't the slightest doubt that the
revolt was designed by the heads Of the old
regime and it had their sympathy, if not their
open support up to the moment it became evil
dent it could not succeed. Had 1t won as they
probably believed it would. they would have
emerged from cover at the psychological mo-
ment and DR.. Kapp and the others delegated
to pull the chestnuts out OF the fire would
have been quietly eliminated and the empire
would have been restored. Since the effort
fzzled the real leadership is not likly to be-
come apparent at the present moment. 1t will
keep out of sight and bde its time for a more
favorable opportunity. 1t isn't going to give
up, make sure of that. Neither is it without
foundation for its hopes.
Outside of Berlin and few other centers it
appears that the German people are not in
mood for the trouble which a change in the
form of government would involve. The mar
tial spirit, which oozed out during the war.
has not yet returned. The call to arms does
not thrill the populace as once it did. The
country as a whole wants rest and quiet till
it RECEIVERS its wind
What the revolt actually accomplished is a
revival Of radical activity which was SO mucE
in evidence in the early days Of Ebert's rule.
but which was suppressed by the vigorous
methods of Noske. Anarchy has been let loose
again and the struggle with it probably will
outlast the disturbance directly caused by the
kapp revolt Not that the reds have a better
chance than they previously had, for Germany
as whole does not seem to think much of a
proletarian dictatorship but the radical lead
ership lacks the discretion of the friends of
monarchy and does not know how to beat so

The Bunkerfne Mrs. Miller had
rubbed on the baby's chest is a
mixture OF mustard and grease.
One would think any woman would
be able enough to prepare mustard
paste at home, il such counter-irri-
tation were required.
But a sick baby. . sick child,
does not require nor tolerate such
severe remedies. Mustard or other
blistering agents have no place in
the home treatment Of sick chill
dren. Parents who inflict such
harsh treatment on children be-
tray a strange lack Of feeling.
1t had blistered the Miller babys
chest, although the stuff was
guaranteed not to blister"
Some people assert that II You
will mix in q little white Of egg or
lard or vaseline or whatnot with
your mustard paste the past won't
blister. Stun and nonsense. If q
mustard paste is worth . tinker's
mound of sand, it should blister
if left on the skin long enough.
But there is no advantage in blis-
tering with mustard. The paste
should be watched, or rather the
skin under it should be inspected
every five minutes, and as soon as
the skin is well Redeemed the mus
tard should be removed, for it has
done all the good it is going to do.
To make a mustard paste, mix a
tablespoonful of mustard -four with
four tablespoonful Of wheat -four
and enough tepid water to make a
sticky paste. Spread this evenly
upon a piece OF waxed or brown
paper perhaps eight inches square.
Over it lay a piece Of muslin or
cheesecloth, folding the edges of
the cloth under the paper and
stitching in place. Warm the paste
comfortably over the fire and ap-
ply it with the cloth next the skin.
For your children, instead of
mustard as an external application,
use camphorated oil. Prepare this
yourself. Dissolve all the coarse
ly crumbled gum eamphor the warm
oil will take up, and always keep

What's In a Name?
Vivian.
by MILDRED MARSHALL-
Copyright. 1918. By the Wheeler Syndicate Incl

Vivian.
The charming name of Vivian is
almost the equivalent of the ad-
jective "vivacious." 1t means live
ly, having been derived from the
Latin vita signifying life. and was
used by the Roman Christians to
express their hopes Of eternity.
The first feminine name formed
from vita is Viva, a name made
famous by Viva Perpetua, the
noble young matron of Carthage,
whose martyrdom is one Of the
most touching histories of the early
church. Her many votaresses gave
vogue to her name.
In later Roman days viviana
came to be popular through a
Christian maiden of that name who
was put to death by Roman gov
ernor on the charge that she had
destroyed the sight of one of his
eyes by magic. Much later a
church was erected over her re-
mains. Her fame and name lin
gered, and appears prominently

Vivianna is the enchantress Of

Scotland took over the name Of
Vivian, applying it as both mas
culine and feminine name. France
adopted the masculine form as Wv

Unpopular feminine Vivienne.
England has always favored WV

Spain and Italy, the latter country
still employing the early Roman

Viviana's talismanic gem is the
