FRENCH CITY IN THE DESERT
Little Township Of lshmaila Has Been
Made Place Where Beauty Abides
=. Beside DesoIation.

Sir ian Malcolm, British govern
ment representative on the Suez canal
board, gives charming description of
the luxurious little township of Ish-
malta, which is the headquarters Of
the company. The executive Of the
undertaking is practically entirely
French, and therefore it is not surpris-
Ing to learn that behind broad belt
Of tall trees and waving palms one
finds a town that is purely French in
atmosphere and management.
Here Is the residence, where l am
now staying with M. Jonnart, the presi-
dent; buildings, schools, shops, are all

living in a smart French seaside resort,
where roses, violets and Strawberries

lake you come to the end Of civlliza-

This lake. the Large Bitter lake, is
more than ten miles long, and was at
one time part of the Red sea, but for
centuries it has been dried up and had
become part Of the desert. Across
this depression the canal was dug, the
sides and bottom were prepared, and
when all was ready the; waters of the
Mediterranean, were allowed to flow

A remarkable rogue, at a time when
the competition for that distinction ,is
keen, was arrested recently. BY

Americas Meat: Eaters.

Take it the world over and the an
5nual consumption Of meat amounts to
10 pounds per capita. Here in these
United States, however, she figure rises
10 1870 pounds head, declares the
Los Angeles Times. The American
Is the worlds champion meat eater.
The average citizen Of the United
States will every year eat more than
his weight in red beef. The English
man is supposed to be terror in
the meat line, but he only takes on
an average Of 120 pounds year. OF
course the vegetarian will insist that
the Americans are the lowest type or
civilization and are feeble, pulse
less people tottering to the grave. But
il they can do what they have done
under the incubus Of 1870 pounds OF
beef every year, what could they not
tnccomplish if they would only leave
meat alone? The people who have
nanished booze from the land should
row arise in their might and absolve
America from the curse OF fiet
rnignon.

Decorative Church Windows.

(. The art Of glass decorating is not
a modern Bohemian accomplishment.
The Roman Cathedral Of Prague con-
tanned, in 1916, two windows which
were decorated with Old and New
Testament scenes. Decorative win
tlows soon became a favOrite form Of
church Ornamentation. Asnaes Sylvi-
us, who subsequently became Pope
Plus the Second and incidentally was
a very close student Of contemporary
affairs Of Bohemia, records that the
churches Of the Czechs possessed
many "high and wide windows which
were brightly and artlstically decor
ated, and such style Of decorating was
not confined to the churches in the
large cities and towns, but even the
distant hamlets prided themselves on
churches containing windows orna-
mented in a similar fashion," The
curriculum of the division Of techni-
cal arts OF the. University of Prague
Included courses in painting, wood
carving, and glass characterization. No
degree was ever conferred on a student
snless he could exhibit sufficient apti-
tide as a "glass man" or qualify in
"glassery," a practical demonstration
Of the high esteem in which this
branch Of the arts was sicld.

Mu.t Keen on "Makino Good"

Life is an everlasting struggle.
Nothing but the keenest attention to
its great problems will bring lasting
success. There are many that gain
temporary attention and they think
they have made name for them.
selves. The fact Is there are thou
sands Of others with just as much
head striving for place In the sun.
They are watching every loophole for
an opportunity. Often the fellow who
starts right with a small lead can
achieve almost anything he sets out
to. So folks have learned to take adj
vantng. Of everything that turns up
or that they can turn up. That means
you are never safe In resting, on past
laurels. It's case of making good
eternally or falling down before you
have flushed your course.

Every house has a supply of
fuel for winter. People know
cold weather is coming. They
get ready for it.
How many people get their

Most of us go around all summer
in the intense heat burning up
energy. working hard all day
and sometimes living awake
nights sleepless in the heat.
Winter comes along. 1t catch
es many people totally unpre-
prepared physically. Few of us
take stock of our health. Wheth-
er we will be we'll, healthy and
strong, we often leave too much
to chance.
But not everybody. Nova
days people are learning. They
know this matter of enjoying
good health is a thing they can
help control, If you live right,
eat right. get plenty of sleep,
breathe fresh air and keep your
blood in good condition, you will
be all right.
1t is so simple, If you feel a
little off in health-perhaps
worn out and pale don't take
chanches. There's no need of
it. Buy some Pepto-Mangan of
your druggist. Begin taking it
