Ultraviolet Ray.

The medical chief in an institution
where ultraviolet light or ray is used
In. tho treatment of various forms Of
tuberculosis purchased some dis
carded arc lamps which a street light
ing company gladly sold him at a dol
lar lamp, and found that these gave
the desired ultraviolet light in the
most satisfactory form for use in the
treatment of patients. The same in.
stitution had de luxe editions of all
the modern apparatus for giving ul.
traviolet light treatment, but the med.
ical chief considered the dollar arc
lamps superior to any of the fancy
outfits.
To meet the demand for windows
which will admit the ultraviolet rays

permit the ultraviolet rays to pass
through) certain firms now put out

large enough to be of use, and such
windows are being installed in hos
pitals.

source of all ultraviolet light energy

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Father Chronos.'

Old Father Time is a character with
whom we are all familiar. Frequently
we meet him with the name Father
Chronos," or "Kronos," as we find the
name in the pages Of Greek mythol-
ogy.
In the NEUROLOGICAL system of the
ancients Kronos was the original and
supreme deity, father of Zeus, who
was himself the father of six Of the
superior deities. Kronos, being the
first of the line, was supposed to have
been born Of Uranus, the Heaven
which embraced all things.
The Greek name of Time was
"Chronos," and the inference is that
from Uranus, the Infinite, was born
Chronos, Time. Hence the inter
changeable spelling and the express
sion which has survived in our mod
ern speech. Father Kronos'' for
Father Time.

If biscuits become stale, wet

put them in a paper bag, twist
the top of the bag tightly and
put in the oven.
Wash all eggs thoroughly and
save the shells for coffee. II

Save all apple cores and par

sugar as juice, boil the juice a
minute, for each tumbIer of

When cooking peeled pota-

cold milk to the water in which
they are boiled After the po-

The next morning part of that lawn
was pitted all over with little holes,
the work of Jimmy and Mrs. Skunk
the night before. 1t looked worse
than 1t really was, for Farmer
Browns Boy had only to take a rake
and push the earth back into those
little holes and the grass would soon
spread over them. But for the time
being that part of the lawn was a
sorry-looking place. Yes, sir, it GER

To Preserve Pictures.
One mother says

To save the pictures which the
children cut from magazines and want
to keep for a while 1 got a roll of the
transparent tape such as libraries use
for mending books. cut this in short
strips and paste strip over each cor
ner of the picture and attach to the
wall of their bedrooms. This leaves
no bad mark and the pictures can be
discarded and new ones hung.
