No 6ackache for the Healthy.

That lumbago, sciatica and other
forms of backache are to be regarded
as reflex neuralgias, like that due to
decayed teeth, is theory advanced
by DR.. Folke Lindstedt of Stockholm,
as the result Of examinations Of 1873
recruits for the Swedish army. Out
of the total number, 1,57S,117, or RI
per cent, had suffered from lumbag0,
sciatica or backache. Among those
with SERIOUS morbid conditions" tho
number who had suffered from lun-
bago was 24.5 per cent; among those
with minor ailments, the number was
81 per cent, and among the perfect;
healthy it was only IL per cent. In
the case of sciatica, 3.46 per cent OF
those with serious morbid conditions
had suffered, and only OLE per cent Of
the healthy recruits.

FIRST
IRIsHMEN ONCE WORE kits
Assertion Made by New York News-
paper-6agpipes Differed From
Those Of the Scots.

There is no more doubt that kits
and plaids were worn in early times
In Ireland than there is that the
Breton laws were once In operation,
declares the New York Evening Tels-
gram.
In Ireland kits of one color-saffron
were used. Nothing like the tartan,
by which the various Scottish clans
are still distinguished, was ever ar
rived at.
Irish bagpipes were Of simple
type. They were not blown, but
pumped and never reached the high
state of development Of the war in
strument so closely associated with
Scots fighting regiments for hundreds
Of years and with life in the high
lands.
The Irish guards have had the pipes
since their formation as a result of
the BOer war.
Among those In private life who az
fected the use of Irish kits in town
as well as country in recent years
was one Of the brothers of the pres
ent Lord Ashbourne, son Of the for
mer lord chancellor. r.;
In many minute details as to equip
ment. dress and custom there was
close parallel between the two coun-
tries.
Antique gold ornaments In the Dub
lin museum, while of the same type
rs those Of the ancient Scots, are diff
ferent in sculptural design. But in
both instances the workmanship Is
distinctly Celtic.
Both countries had the clan system.
In Ireland the chiefs, so often IN
accurately described as "kings." were
nothing but the heads Of families, WITH
the dependents and slaves.
In going back to the Celtic dress and
music the Irish are resumIng what the
Scots never entirely abandoned.

CUPS AND BOWLS OF CLAY

WHEN the earliest men were
thirsty and came to brook or
spring, what did they do? Some OF
them doubtless stopped down and
put their lips to the water to drink.
Others probably formed the palms
of, their hands into tht shape of a
cup or bowl thus making the first
drinking vessel. ",.n,f 9'''
) The next step was very likely to
use large shells for cups. The hol-
low horns Of animals may have
been used sometimes, especially to
carry water from place to place.
Other things which may have
been used for holding and carrying
water are cocoanut SAells and
gourds. The skins and stomachs of
slain animals were also probably
used, and it is even suggested that
the skulls of both beasts and men
sometimes served as cups or bowls.

FUSED in making bowls at later time
These Is, were coated with clay to
makesthem. water proof and fire
proof. The. idea of boiling the. flesh
of animals had already come to the
human mind. When such bowls
were held over the bonfire, the clay
on the outside hardened. In some
cases it is likely that it dropped off
and man found that it could be
used as a bowl without the wicker
inside.
Someone then got the idea of
taking fresh clay and molding it in
to the shape of a cup, then harden
ing it over a fire. This was done
and the cup held water.
Of course, the earliest cups and
bowls were not very good-looking.
People did not know how to make
clay smooth and round, but In time
the art was mastered.
When clay is maie into a special
shape and hardened by fire, it is
called POTTERY. Pottery frag-
ments have been found in hundreds
of places in Europe where Stone

Substitute For CitrOn
Housewives who have been accus-
toned to use citr6n in flavorlng
cakes will be surprised to find what
infinitely better results are obtained
by employing instead one part OF
citron. one part Of candied orange
peel, and one part of candied lemon
peel. This mixture gives a far SUI
perior flavor. and recommends IL
self to the housewife who is inter
ested in obtaining the best results
in her kitchen.
Wherever citron has formerly
been used this mixture can be sub
stituted for it. Fudge is sometimes
made with citron in it, but it is
much more tempting if candied
orange and lemon peel are added to
the citron.

OUR ENEMY-THE FLY

effort. The flies breed in my neigh

upon the Baby's bottle.
Each of us owes a duty TO the
community to keep his own premi-
SEES clean. Flies do not love clean
premises.
Screens, tight-fttipg and in good
repair, constitute our first line of
defense against the invader. Warm
and odors from the kitchen draw
flies. For this reason it is well to
have the door to the screened-in
porch at the side, out of the direct
line of these attractions. Then the
flies will light on the screen but
not find the door. 1t is economy to
buy galvanized or copper screening
for long service.
