Woo in Flower Language.

The language of flowers in the Near
East is no simple form of speech that
anyone may understand. Long and
elaborate communications may be sent
by bouquet If the lady is not too lazy
to learn complicated code. There
is, say those Turks who claim to un-
derstand 1t, direct and an indirect
form Of flower message.
The Indirect message goes by words
that rhyme either with the name of
the flower or with the meaning of the
name Of the flower. They 20 to

SPUD PHILOSOPHY

THE per capita consumption of po-
tatoes in this country is 80
bushels annually. The estimate crop
this year is 43S, 900, 900 bushels, or
somewhat in excess of our bushels per
capita. A prominent New York paper
which was fighting the present tariff
law some weeks ago was very much up.
set because of the duty On potatoes re-
ported by the commttee-35 cents a
hundred pounds, saying: "On a million
bushels of potatoes consumed day 50
cents bushel runs up to neat total
OF $S50.000, or Sl27. $50, 900 annually
as tariff charge on the American peo-
pie. " The duty eventually laid was 80
cents a hundred pounds, or about 80
cents bushel, which, according to this
newspapers way of thinking would
mean charge of SlO9, 900, 600, as the
charge on the American people. But
TINS was assuming, of course, that the
price OF every bushel of potatoes would
De controlled and that the controllers
would add the 80 cents to the price.
Now it is hardly probable that the
American people this year will increase
their consumption of the succulent
spud by 80 per cent. in order to balance
up with the overproducton. 1t is al
most an economic certainty that the
law of supply and demand will get to
work and reduce the price of potatoes
below that of lean years. But the duty
OF ~ cents per bushel imposed will
tend to restrict importations of potatoes
sothat the American growers will not
sufer the grave slump in price which
would otherwise attend a market flood
ed with both the domestic and the
foreign potatoes. 1t is thus seen how
1aiiacious are these repeated assertions
OF the opponents of protection that the
duties are added to the prices paid by
consumers, and what a Brobdinagian
falsehood is contained in the Democratic
statement that the tariff law adds $4,-
900, 900, 900 to the cost of living of the
American consumer, for the principle
that applies to potatoes applies to other
products of American farm and mill.

NOT AS SHE HAD PICTURED
Girl Who Had Herself PACED In Hotel
unprepared for Meeting With
Fllppant Individual.

The girl had never been PACED in q
hotel. Time after time she had heard
the bellboys go by calling out names,
and always she had envied the young
women who got up and followed them
to the telephone.
1t got to be a positive mania with
her-this desire to be paged-and
finally she persuaded one of her
friends to telephone her at hotel at
a specified time.
She waited in the lobby. sitting on
the edge of her seat in excitement, un-
til the boy appeared,
Miss Brown, Miss Brown,"
She rose excitedly. Il am Miss
Brown" she said
Gentleman waiting to see you out
front"
She looked rather surprised; that
had not been in the scheme. But per-
haps he had changed his mind. She
followed the boy obediently, and was
led face to face with a perfect
stranger.
Her face grew pink with confusion
as she gazed at him. and he, realizing
the mistake, watched her in amuse-
ment. He was a rather loudly dressed
young man with a great air of assur-
ance.
For a moment they stared; then he
-
spoke.
Not so good" he said slowly, and
then as an after thought, but not so
bad, either!"
And the girl fled in embarrassment.

Where Long Necks Are Stylish.

In Burma, among the Karens, "a
long neck is the ambition Of every
woman. Her mother starts thinking
about this when her daughter is a
baby, and starts to accomplish this
swan-like effect when the tots are
scarcely able to walk.
The method employed is series
of heavy brass rings, which are as
thick as your little finger. These are
put around the child's neck, and as
she grows, more rings are added, thus
forcing her neck to lengthen out.
More rings are added year after year
as the girl grows into womanhood
Twenty-one of these coils is the aver
age worn, although % have been
achieved.
The 21-ring-collared woman is
thought beautiful, but the 25-ringed
lady is considered a raring beauty
under the Karens of Burma.

How Not to Take Cold

Some persons are subject to frequent
colds, while others seldom, if ever, have
a cold. You will find that the latter
take good care of themselves. They
take shower or cold sponge bath every
day in warm room, avoid over heated
rooms, sleep with a window open or
partly open, avoid excesses, over eat
ing, becoming over heated and then
chilled and getting the feet wet. Then,
when they feel the first indication of
cold, they take Chamberlain Cough

parent In composition, it resembles
our common garden onion with con-
centric layers. As old age approaches,
these layers disappear and the lens be-
comes homogeneous. AS the years
advance, the lens also becomes hard
ened and loses part of its elasticity
This hardening, one of the causes OF
Old Age Sight are Presbyopia as it IS
technically called.
Inside the eyeball is located tiny
muscle called the Ciliary Muscle. The
loss of power in this muscle also
causes Old Age Sight. As soon as
unpleasant symptoms denote the APP
proach of failing sight, glasses should
be prescribed at once. The symptoms
of old age sight are simple and easily
recognized. Dimness of vision, in
ability to read, write or sew at regular
distance, a tendency to hunt bigger,
better and brighter light, to get closer
to the light, desire to hold a book
or paper further away than usual, the
eyes tire quickly, headaches, watering
of the eyes and eye strain. Whenever
letters look blurred it is a sure indica-
ton that glasses are needed. If glasses
are needed, they should be the best
glasses that money could possibly buy.
Cheap glasses and glasses OF the
wrong sort that are not ground for
each individual eye, do more harm
than good. The correction of Old
Age Sight is not an easy matter, as
some people think. A Presbyopc
should consult good eyesight spc-
| cialist at once.
