Neglect of all sanitary precautions

important result of ksmet, notwith-
standing that Moslems are enjoined
by the Sacred Law to regular and
careful additions. Quarantine regula-

ports, but in towns of the interior the
Mcslem population manifests the
greatest dislike to such sanitary regu-

interference with the will of Allah.

Insult to Injury.

The ) AZ, acting in accordance to
one of those ineXpllcable rules which
inexpicably govern all late commut-
ers' trains, stopped just outside the
terminal, and several hundred return
ing suburbanites sighed YEARLY, for
they were hungry
Time passed and the 5 43 made no
movement The signs of hunger in
creased.
Then. as though the malevolent rail-
road men had planned it, along came
an Omaha-bound train and stopped on
the next track. Thus it was that in
three coaches the returning suburban
ties, crowded and jammed into their
straight-backed seats or standing
were awarded the view of travellers
who lounged comfortably In parlor
cars and in deliberately appointed
smokers
In the fourth coach matters were
even worse. Opposite it the dining
car had pulled up. A miserable quar-
ter-hour it was when the hungry com
muters, already late for dinner, strove
to keep their eyes and thoughts from
the smooth, sleek goers west, who con
sumed warm, fragrant dishes a fe2
feet away.-Chicago Post.

That popular picture "Manslaugh-

ton picture houses which the girl pat
ronizes. She found standing room
only. AS she waited for half an hour,
squeezed behind rope, unable to see
any of the screen, she was thankful
that 1t was a refined and gentle crowd,
quite unlike that which one meets In
rush" hours.
She was to be disillusioned The
music changed, the lights went up and
some people went out. AS the ushers
took away the ropes someone near the

fought down the aisle.

Gotham Goes Back to Corset.

The day of the corsetless figure is
passing, and except in the case of very
slight and youthful figures some kind
of support is the rule, according to
New York letter in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch For several seasons 1t has
been the fad to dispense with corsets
and the result has in many instances
been rather disastrous.
so this winter the corsetiers are
busy and the corset department of
the shops are crowded with women
who desire to repair the damage done
by an era of absolutely no support to
the figure, and before 1t is too late
get back the slender grace brought
about by specially designed corset.
In no article of women's wearing APP
parel has there been a greater adj
vance than in the corset. Once an
object of discomfort and almost tor
ture, in its present version it meets
with the approval of doctors from the
standpoint of health and from design
ers of clothes from the standpoint of
beauty.

Work for Disabled Soldiers.

Today CzechoSlovakia is flooding all
Europe with quantities of her famous
lacquer work wood noveltles-mostly
the work of soldiers wounded and
partially disabled in the World war
The shops in Prague display fans,
jewel boxes. trays, brushes, combs and
other wooden articles of every de
scription, all brilliantly colored and
carved in the distinctively Czecho-
slovakian style. No set designs are
to be found Each bit of woodwork is
made after a new pattern so that
no two pieces are alike. This fea-
ture of their work protects their
wares in foreign markets, where ma
chine production has introduced many
substitutes. The government has
leased hundreds of working rooms in
various parts Of the country, set aside
for this particular industry. Trained
men instruct recruits in the technique
of the work, but the designing and
the composition of each particular
piece is always left to the idea or
Whim of the man who makes it. In
one part of the room one finds men
with no arms tOiling with marvellous
ingenuity with a stylus between their
toes. Fully half of this work today
is done with the feet-Milwauke

SIGHT That IS f.Ahs1-LUUS
Power Of Vision Of Sor,e Of the Small
est Of Natures Creatures Far
Above Mankind's.

Bees, humming birds, and other honey
sense of smell or even by instinct, but
by marvelously perfected sense of
sight, which enables them to differ
entiate between color variations inf
nitely toe fine for perception by hui
man vision, according to Prof. Frank
e. Lutz and F. X. Richtmeyer, who
read papers on the pollination of flow
ers by insects before the American
Academy of Science at Pittsburgh re-
Gently.
In order to minimize the possibility
of hybrid plant development through
the pollination Of two unrelated plant
Species nature has provided fine grada-
tons Of color imperceptibe to the hui
man eye, but readily discernible to in
sects, according to the new theory. Ma
ture also has developed in different
representatives of each species of bird
and insect an individual fondness for
a given color graduation. When bee,
for example, starts out on his daily
routine ne visits only such flowers as
appeal to his individual color tastes
In this manner he pollin ~ only such
flowers as are identical with each
other both as to species and as to ex
act color graduation.
Occasionally after family row, or
an annual election, an irresponsible
bee or bee-ess may run wild among
all sorts of colors and conditions Of
plants, thereby playing hob with M
ture, and creating anything from 3
sunlower with pansy petals to a
double-jointed jonquil. Such hybrid
creations are called mutations, and
frequently they are the basis for a
new species.
However, such things rarely happen,
bees being, on the whole, rather me
thodical and reliable individuals. But
there isn't anything to be done about
1t, anyway.

STILL DREAMING; or HOME
City Man Of Small Resources Laments
That Country Cannot Crafty
His Desires.

/ am one Of many thousands, city
dreamed of little home somewhere
in the bills or within sight of the sea.
Every year the urge grows stronger,
and every year the little place seems
more hopelessly out of sight, says the
writer of "The Point of View" in
Scribners. The city is a big place,
but the country seems bigger, and
where to look and how, ever more per-
picking / have told all my friends
that | am looking, and asked them to
give me tip If they hear of any place
that they think | might like or can
afford to Duy; and now and then |
hear of the perfect place, to be had
for some enticingly modest sum, and
of charming homes found by this and
that seeker after bis haven of peace
and quiet. But my little house is ever
in the dim beyond and my hope grows
fainter with the years. Maybe l am
IN search of place that never was on
land or sea. that exists only In my
dreams.
l read the real-estate advertise
ments, and look at the little houses
Illustrated in the magazines devoted
to home building, and see many coy
small houses that would quite satisfy
my lOngings, but when | investigate
the cost of building even the simplest
of them, J pause and wonder If the
price does not call for gold bricks as
a part of the foundation instead of
just ordinary building materials
So l start again in my search for
the abandoned farm that can be
bought with little old house all
ready to be called home. with the
expenditure of OILY a few hundred
dollars.
The chimney may be falling down
and the roof caving in, the sides full
of holes for the winds and SHOWS of
winter to come In, but the lines are
firenlace and Dutch oven are there to
recall the days of the real Americans
who lived and shivered back In the
time when there were plain living and
honest thinking.
Far afield have I ventured in the
search for my little house, and spent
enough good money to put new roofs
on Alost of the tumble-down houses l
have looked at from a distance with
ever-renewed hope.

Intensified Juices Of Oranges,
Apples, Figs and Prunes
Combined With Tonics

In overcoming disease and making
the sick well, "Fruit-a-tives" or
s'Fruit Laxo Tablets" get their rare
and unusual powers from the method
of combining the fruit juices.
This process was discovered by a
physician and perfected by him after
hundreds of tests.
By this discovery, the juices of
apples, oranges, figs and prunes are
concentrated and combined with
tonics in such a manner that the
medicinal action of the fruitjuices are
made much more active and valuable.

LIGHT AND WATER
FACTORS IN HOME

In designing the home there are
three or fur things that should al.
ways be taken into consideration be-
fore any start 10 made. It 10 neces-
sary that there should be plenty OF
light. plenty OF running water and the
most convenient interior arrangement
that it is possible to obtain.
Sometimes the daily life is spread
over entirely too much floor space
Four or six persons can be accom-
modated easily rs regards comfort
light, air and warmth within an area
of 700 to 1000 square feet on each
floor OF a two-story home.
1t is necessary to see that passages
always are arranged SO that draft and
disturbance may be minimized. Doors
should be as few as possible in num-
Der to economize on wall space for
furniture. The outside door should
not open directly on the living room,
nor should the stairway. One room
never should be the only passage way
to another.
There should be ample windows for
lighting and ventilation. Tho total
window area OF room should be not
less than one-fifth nor more than one
windows mean poor ventilation and a
dark interior. Too many windows
mean a waste OF heat and q glaring
interior.
1t is almost impossible to provide for
too much closet space. There always
should be a generous coat closet near
the entrance OF the house. and q gen.
eral cleaning closet should be easily
accessible TO all parts Of the home.
clothes closet should be provided for
every bedroom and there should be q
linen closet convenient to all bed
rooms. Both attic and cellar should
contribute TO extra stor0Ro
