Pathetic Tragedy.

A most pathetic story was recently
printed in the newspapers. A young
Russian woman living in Canada lay
dying in a hospital after 55-day fast.
Water had been her only nourishment
from May 8 to July 2. She was then
in a semi-conscious condition and
physicians despaired Of her life.
Mrs. Leontough suffered from indi-
gestion. She read Of starvation cures.
She also joined cult whose practices
included lengthy fasting. For Al days
she continued to do her housework
and then was forced into bed by weak
ness. Her husband had been an
artilleryman and they were then refu-
gees in Canada. Possibly her indulgent
husband thought she had enough
trouble, and If starvation cure would
stop her indigestion he would be gen.
tie with her and let her follow her
own wifim. OF course, he was filled
with remorse when it was too late.
This is a warning to avoid starva-
ton treatments self-imposed. There
are, Of course, special cases. like
serious stomach or intestinal disorders,
where reliable physician may place
his patient on such restricted diet
that it is practically a starvation diet.
Such a means is, Of course, drastic:
Such a treatment is recommended
only because the physician knows
exactly the end to be gained.

pearance. besides preserving 1t for
future Summers. Some few shoppers
have made the mistake of thinking
that rust effects are secured by per.
hitting metal furniture to Withstand
the weather unprotected of surface.
AS a matter of fact, wrought iron
is given a natural-looking finish by
initiating the rust appearance. To
this end one should buy raw sienna
or Van Dyke brown paint. BY using
either Of these shades first, and then
stippling with burnt amber pigment
which has been mixed with a small
quantity of sawdust or even ordinary
dust a rust effect is achieved.
Women often find that they can
''pick up fine pieces in colors or eff
fects which are not particularly pleas
ing. This condition may be remedied
by creating the rust effect or by
using a shade like Chinese red. The
latter is a popular color for wrought
iron and may be produced by mixing
red lead with a bright shade of red
paint. BY frequent applications, or at
least annual ones. both metal and
wooden furniture may be preserved
and enhanced in attractiveness.

Garden Furniture.

Shoppers should be advised about
the danger Of finding that their gar.
den furniture is without lasting quail
tiles unless provision is made for its
preservation. 1t Is to be assumed that
any furniture, however durable, must
receive extra care II it Is expected to
resist climate and weather. Besides
this practical point to prompt one to
action, there Is the additional one that
much of the charm Of garden furni.
ture depends on bright color and
new" finish.
When ones garden furniture is
metal. 1t Is necessary to renew the
paint at intervals. Paint prevents de-.
cay, of course, and preserves appear
ance. No matter how much one has
paid for her garden furniture, she
will find in time that paint must be
applied to avoid rust that makes such
furniture useless. Any metal piece
without a protective coating Of paint
will become corroded and rusted after
even short exposure.
Wood and wicker furniture will go
quickly to ruin in the same manner
IL they remain unprotected. There Is
only one satisfactory substitute for
paint for use on wood and wicker
pieces. That is varnish; and when
paint and varnish are combined
double insurance is obtained against
spoilage.
