WOMAN RENT REBEL FIGHTS
 $500 RAISE AS MATTER OF DUTY
Business Woman and Moth CT Risks Whole Business Career to Champion Cause of Those Fighting High Rents.

New York, May 17-"When my son went to war. told him he must fgh, not Germans, nor hate them, but fight and kill Greed!
 When my son returned from war was confronted with an eight-hun- dred dollar a year raise in rent.''
 This is one phase of the fight of Mrs. Leila Tfnsley. of Aeolian Hall against her landlords. An increase in rent has caused her protest and re- 'fusal to pay, which refusal. in turn, has caused the owners of the prop erty to begin dispossess proceedings.
 Add to the rhythms that have throbbed through Aeolian Hall. the rocking chair beat of Mrs. Tinsley, the rent rebel" who, she says, would produce harmony. Agents for the building. however. are sure she is bent upon causing discord.

 Fortified by faith. earnest in her desire to fight greed, as she Says. Mrs. Tinsley is holding out against the legal proceedings brought to oust her.

 She will appear before the bar as an army with banners Behind her stand in spirit that ancietn forebear "nO SlSneu the DeCIaFdIl0n or mae pendence, that other who served as chaplain of Congress during the days of Clay, Calhoun and Webster and another relative who dared to be a Republican in the state of Virginia. where only the brave dared afford to offend by such affiliations.
 Feels It Duty to Fight.
 "1 am sacrificing a lot in this af- fair" said Mrs. Tinsley as she rocked in the tapestry covered chair that af- fords her many moments of rest dur ing the busy day.
 Tt is 8 case of deciding whether or be done. My will tells me that I am rising my business, running the chance of being called a fanatic or possibly an unbalanced woman. and that I am apt to lose the sympathy of my loved ones.
 The will of my Father urges me to fight greed, to give up my personal interests to serve His cause.
 'I realize the opportunities for gain Any average property owner wants to get all he can and yields to the temp tation.

Twenty times more bottle-fed than brenst-fed babies are prone to the summer complaints and the dysen- tcr;es; among the former ten times a many such pdtful little sufferers die. During the first year of their helpless lives. three times as many die of the various diseases to which infancy is subjected.
 In d comparative study made in one city, a very small percentage of those who had in infancy been artificially fed were found alive after their twen- 1y-first year. pr. Thomas South worth. so devoted and so able in ped datrics. has stated before q medical society that nowadays so per cent. of all mothers cannot, or think they cannot or are led to ina zine they cannot, or just crassly and obstinate Jy will not, yield to the yearring of the infant with no language but .

MORE PRACTICAL SALADS
Laura A kloknar

The following salads are a little meal in themselves and there is no need for the housekeeper to feel apologetic in placing one of these be fore her hungry men-fo1h, or her ac- tive and ravenous son, as the sole contain either meat, meat-substitutes or fish and are, therefore, substan- tial1y nourishing.
 Tomato-Sardine Salad: Cut let tuce into shreds with a pair of sciss- ors just before serving time. Open can of sardines, and lay these on beds of shredded lettuce on individ- ual pIates-several of the fish on each plate. Now dice ripe but firm tomatoes and put a, border around the sardines. Cover all with chilled French dressing and serve.
 This is a good salad to serve when one is late in preparing supper. It can be prepared in five minutes if the tomato has been diced previously and kept in the ice box Alth ough sardines are expensive, they cost very Nttle more than an egg or cheese supper dish, and they are always en- Joyed.
 Cornmeai mullins will make this a well balanced supper: the fish pro- videS the protein, the tomatoes and lettuce the vitamines, the salad oil the fats, and the cornmeaI the starch necessary to a, well-balanced ration.
 Potato-E5gg-Cheese Salad: Boil new potatoes until tender and slice them thinly, allowing these slices to lie covered with weak vinegar for an hour or two. Then place them on plates that they form thin and dainty layer, and on top of them put a layer of sliced. hard -boiled eggs (ailow 1 egg for each person.. Cover

He had been stabbed to the heart and must have died instantly The knife with which the crime had been com mited was a curved Indian dagger, pIucked down from a trophy of Irien tai arms which adorned one of the walls. Robbery does not appear to have been the motive of the crime. for there had been no attempt to remove the valuable contents of the room- MT.

The Adventure of the Second Stain
PART FOUR

MT. Eduardo Lucas, well known in society circles both on account of his charming personality and because he has the welI-deserved reputation of being one of the best amateur tenors in the country. MT. Lucas is an un- married man, thirty-four years of age. and his establishment consists of Mrs Pringle, an elderly house keeper, and of Milton, his valet
 The former retires early and sleeps at the top of the house. The valet was out for the evening, visiting friend at Hammersmith. From ten o'clock onward Mir Lucas had the house to himself. What occurred dur ing that time has not yet transpired, but at a quarter to twelve Police constable Barrett, passing along Godoiphin Street( observed that the door of No. 6 was ajar- He knocked, but received no answer. PerceivinG a light in the front room, he advanced into the passage and again knocked. but without reply. He then pushed open the door and entered. The room was in a state of wild disorder, the furniture being all swept to one side,

 Yes

 He was murdered in his house last night
 My friend has so often astonished me in the course of our adventures that it was with a sense of eSultation that I realized how completely I had astonished him. He stared in amaze ment, and then snatched the paper from my hands. This was the para graph which I had been engaged in reading when he rose from his chair:
 MURDER IN WESTMINSTER.
 A crime of mysterious character was committed last night at 16 Godolphin Street, one of the old fashioned and secluded rows of eighteenth century houses which lie between the river and the Abbey. almost in the shadow of the great Tower of the House of Parliament. This small but select mansion has been inhabited for some years by

 Now don't you think that man like that is just as good as and even better than the polished and polite dandy who keeps on paying compi- 1nonts all the time? Isn't real, true character to count My people are |. decided to abide by your decision
 of course character counts But ahcre's nothinE to be gained by rouShness and the consequent wound cd feelings that must follow. Bad manners are a habit. If the man loves YOU he ought to make some effort to impress favorably those near and dear to you.
