A piece of cheese the size Of q

If iodine-stained linen is soaked

water, teaspoonful of ammonia

When the weather is too cold
to permit opening the bed room
window of a sick person with
comfort, have a board cut the
exact width of the sash. Raise
the window and place the board
as you would screen beneath 1t.
This sends fresh cold air upward
and protects the patient from cold
air.

Your Moneys Worth.

Do you demand the same value in
gifts that you buy for others as you do
in the things that you purchase Tor
yourself? Many of us are tempted to
buy Christmas gifts rather hurriedly
and even carelessly. often a dollar
spent at Christine time is worth only
a fraction of the dollar We spend nor
n1ally.
The gifts that are worth most from
a standpoint of real value are those
that satisfy needs. Music for the needy
student, or books for the penniless
scholar. or articles of clothing for the
one temporarily hard UP" are worth
the most. Everybody hasn't needs to
be satisfied, and in such cases we must
buy to suit desires. But we must be
sure not to overlook the need where it
exists.
Price is not always mark of the
money value of gift to the receiver
Costly things are often useless things
and inexpensive things are often neces-

Home in Good Taste
By SARA HILAND.

There is not a room in the home
which cannot have a linoleum floor
covering, and now that there are so
many styles and colors it is possible to
select linoleum which is in keeping with
the particular type of architecture in
your home.
For the early American room there
is linoleum which represents old pine
flooring, the boards being very wide, of
random length and pegged in position.
Could anything be more interesting or
practical for this purpose?
For the Spanish, Italian or English
homes We find the tile pattern limo

their use.
In the illustration are shown two tile
pattern linoleums with marbleized eff
feet which would be appropriate for

In selecting linoleum it should be

Embroidery Hint.

At this season, when so much en-
broidering on gifts is being done, it
is well to know that when embroider-
ing tiny initials in the corners of hand
kerchiefs or any other small pieces of
fancy work, the correct way to do the
work. It is rather difficult to make
them perfect on account Of the mate
rial being bias. If you will starch the
corners very stiff and press them be-
fore stamping, the letter can be made
palmer and more perfect in shape, be-
cause the material will not then stretch
any while the work is being done.

world. Neither the Red armies nor the
Soviet state itself would, under such a
combined attack, be able to put up any
effective or enduring resistance.
Politically regarded. however, the pre-
sumption in favor Of any such combina-
ton appears to me to be very slight, as
communicate propaganda would render
the war impossible.
Russias liberation might be conceiv-
able If Germany were again fully armed
and If the nations were to intervene dis
interestedly to deliver the Russian peo-
pie from their prosecutors. Such a
contingency is today not yet TO be an
ticipated
The second great questions refers TO
the humiliation of England in the
event Of a war between England on the
one hand and the United States and
France on the other.
In the event Of such a war, England
would stand alone. Germany would be
held in check by the armies of the Far
East on its eastern frontier and by
those OF France on its western.
Frances air forces would carry the war
into England; French submarines, OPP
Grating from a favorable base, would
cut OF supplies to England, while thG
fleets of the United States would Grip
pie English trade on every sea until ul-
timately they found in French ports
adequate bases for the direct blockading
Of England.
England's land forces can never land
in France, as is obvious enough from
the weakness of her army. The French
Army, on the other hand, once the COM
mand Of the seas has been secured by
France and the United States, could
proceed to invade England, where revo-
luton would then break out with ex-
actly the same opportuneness as for
nnerly IL did in Germany.

Tong Shaoy Friend of President 80 Years Ago, Recalls
Young Engineers Risk of Own Life to Help
Others in Boxer Rebellion.

he is today. despite his years, chairman
of the model district of Chungsan.
During his early years in the United
States, the Chinese statesman obtained
a fluent command Of the English Ian
guege. He speaks without the trace OF
an accent. After his six years training
in America he returned to China and
almost Immediately entered public life
He was sent to Corea in the customs
service In 1881, when that country was
under Russian control. He served Is
years in Corea, eventually being made
consul general.
In 1898 he became manager OF the
Picking Shanhaikan railways. Follow
ing the Boxer uprising he was appointed
to the ONCE of toa-tai of Tientsin,
which combines the functions of mayor
and superintendent Of customs.
Hopes to Reform City.

who has been a stanch supporter of
the anti-opium movement, has hopes
Of accomplishing reforms in Macao.
II have approached the governor Of
Macao on the subject" he said, "and he
has assured me of his cooperation"
No visit to Mr.. Tong's home is COM
plete without an inspection of his Chi
nese porcelains. There is probably no
private collection in the world to COM
pare with it and two of his choicest
pieces cannot be duplicated in any
existing collection, public or private.
One, a 15-inch vase Of the shade
known as palm green. dates back nearly
800 years to the Kaien-lung period.
The color and texture of the porcelain
are almost an exact approximation of
Jade. The other piece, smaller vase,
made during the Kang Hsi period. the
first Of the ManchuS, Is the shade Of
lapis lazuli.
When 1 was inspecting Mr.. longs
porcelains, a large bronze urn caught
| my attention and on closer examina-
ton l discovered that the piece con-
tanned an inscription stating that it
had been presented to Mr.. Tong by
Kitchener. Mr.. Tong had met Kitchen
er for the first time when he helped
negotiate the British Tibetan treaty of
1905 Kitchener was then commander
in-chief of the British forces in India
and Lord Curzon was viceroy. Suisse
quently Tong and Kitchener became
close friends
He was a man of good temperament
and character" Tong said in describing
Tong Shaggy passes some Of his time

year in his country home in Macao. He
has not fixed the date for his departure
to the United States, but expects to
leave during the next few months. He

America, but the chief purpose of his
trip is to renew his acquaintance with

better known as Bahia. or Sac Salvador,
which has existed since 1910.
1t is a city Of $4,000, and until 1853
was the capital of the country. 1t is the
first important port north of Rio de
Janeiro. Those whose business takes
them between the first and second
stories Of the city must make use of an
elevator or a road like a long, winding
ramp. Most of the business and resi-
dence sections are on the second story,
while the docks are below. New eleva-
tors are being built by the Brazilian
Electric Power Co., an adjunct of the
Electric Bond & Share Co. of New York.
