the hotel was switched on. and women anu

throuph motions which indicated complete
abandon of all good taste and breeding. All
at once it dawned upon me. The hea circus

DESPERATION Commodore Salter (who had for
merly lived on the water), rushed to the prl-

the blue green water. I'VE always referred to
the water in our pool as 'bue-green' IN our
advertising to guests)
THAT fixed the hungry devils, the Com-
modore flung back triumphantly to the other
guests, in a voice that would have made
Dewey's task easier at Manila. And with that
encouraging bit of news the pool became
living mass of royalty Emerging few min

with bruised pride, they filed past me with
look that would have MADE ice cubes in Havana.

told him.
Unpopular! Ye Gods Mister. that wasn't
any name for it! They left me like the small
po: pitted for life. The things they said to
me about this flea circus couldn't be printed
on asbestos paper. There wasn't guest left
in that hotel, and after months of patient
waiting for new guests to take their places,
I gave up"
You closed up the hotel?"
Absolutely. A hotel can't run without
guests" he said slowly, wiping tea from his
nose, "all had left was what you see right
here-this flea circus, minus one member"

Indifference Spreads Disease

CARELEsSNEsS and indifference often set
- at no purpose the efforts Of experts to
prevent serious epidemics.
For instance in one day, out In the Corn
Belt, "a truckloads of hogs arrived at one
shipping center, truckloads In which mosA Of
the hogs were suffering from the highly in
fectious hog cholera. Nothing but carelessness
or disregard for the well-being Of other hog
raisers could have caused such shipments, be-
cause hog cholera does not become evident un-
til at least to days after infection. The
hogs in question were on the road but 10 hours
and therefore must have been infected before

The spirit of whoopee prevailed even after
the victory was won. It dominated the IN
auguration ceremonies in Washington. In the
procession accompanying the President-elect
to the Capitol were Tppecanoe clubs. young
schoolboys with banners showing log cabins
and slogans.
The victory of whoopee and ballyhoo seemed
complete but the sweetness Of its flavor very
soon turned bitter. On March 4 Harrison was

hausted by the exuberance Of his success The
Vice President John Tyler, then became Presi-
dent. He was not Whig at all. He was a
disgruntled Democrat, borrowed by the Wing
managers to help elect their platformless
ticket.
He continued to be a Democrat, and fought
the Wing party to a finish during the whole Of
his unfortunate administration. He remains In
history as shining example of the risks at
tending a campaign in which platform and
principles are replaced by whoopee.

toes add minerals which tend to balance the acidity of the dinner meat while rice, which yields an acid ash, increa2es the acidic con tent of the meal. Consequently, when rice, macaroni or any of the paste foods take the place of pota- foods known to be rich in mineral constituents.
 Consider Food Values
 Such vegetables as beets, carrots, celery, radishes and lettuce should be used in abundance with rice and the paste-foods. Combination dishes of rice and tomatoes or macaroni and tomatoes supply the food clements found in potatoes quite completely.
 Meals in which dried beans and peas are used, must be considered from a different angle. These foods are godo sources of mineral constituents and tend to produce alkalnity when digested and as- simulated by the body. Served in with other foods they may also figure as the main dish
 
 There are many varieties of dried beans that are more delicate ly favored than the navy bean usually called to mind when beans are mentinoed. Dried limas. mar rowfats, red kidney beans, dolicho, yellow eye, cranberry and black are excellent varieties. each having a distinguishing flavor.
 Spring greens" are particularly suitable to serve with a hearty dish of beans. The combination makes an inexpensive. satisfying. nourishing and well balanced meal for spring days.
 Too many home-makers make the mistake of thinking that any food which is a good source or starch can take the place of pota- toes in the diet with the same rec suit. The caloric value may be the same but the mineral balance will be far from true.

Just Take the Water Way to Beauty
 When you speak of beauty aids, usually you think of some deli cately tinted, sweet smelling lo- tion or unguent that comes out of an artistically designed bottle or jar.
 Well, one of the most efficacious beauty aids on earth is water good, old-fashioned water!
 Not only is it indispensable for bathing. but taken internally. it does more than it is given credit for in the perfection of beauty.
 When you get up mornings, try taking a glass of hot water before you even wash your face or start exercising.
 When you have breakfast. if you have been drinking too much coffee, try one cup of hot water bonate or the juice of half lemon in it. before you take your breakfast coffee.
 morning. and afternoon, have a full glass of water and the last thing at night take a nightcap of hot water and lemon juice again, or just plain water. Or, if you have any tendency towards digestive trouble. try the bicarbonate of soda again.
 This flushing the system is the best spring tonic most women can take. Especially If you have an indoor pob that keeps You sitting still, If you would begin this water cure for winter depression right now. li would be an excellent way 10 get in trim. Combine It with a half hours morning walii in the open nlr. and if your complexion doesn't improve. not to mention your disposition, then something is organicaliy wrong with you.

you. an emotion too deep to be de- scribed.
 All is SO peaceful there. so soft, so safe, So sure!
 And away in the rest of the world--but there! I'm getting sen- timental.
 What I started to say and must say now in a hurry Is that after such Q visit. if one has never felt so bzfore, he is impressed with the grave responsibility for the con servation of all bird life.
 Northern Trip Ahead.
 In few short weeks robins and bluebirds and song sparrows will be going back to the north to build their nests and raise families. Later on the fickers and wood- peckers. the trhush and meadow lark, the red winged blackbird. the oriole, and the warbler will make the journey. It is the, birds that make spring happy.
 And they trust everyone. They go up to our broad lawns and shrubbery and trees, our parks and gardens and tell us in their own way that they trust us. Trust us for what? For food and shelter? Mo- oh, no! They put no burden on anyone. They merely ask to be al- lowed to live-that is all. It isn't much, is it?
 Those who own cats should put a bell on them. or train them never to touch a bird. Cats can be train- ed to stay away from birds, but 1t is hard work and known only to the initiate. like cats well enough, But I like birds better. If l had a cat who hunted birds l should dis pose of him.
 Need I say that boys who have shotguns should be given them only under one condition? If l ever catch you aiming at bird you lose your gun now and for ever"
 Have the childreh make bird houses. Let them put out shallow pans of water Cor regular bird baths) in safe places. Until things start to grow tell them to throw out bread and seed for the early corners.
 I have seen many blackbirds In the south, cardinals, red-headed woodpeckers. kingflshers and wild canary, and I have heard meadow larks sing. Most ok them will be home probably before l get there. I pass them on to my neighbors re- luctantly but cheerfully - if they and the children will love them and take care of them.

 tail Furniture AssociatiOm
 The back to the parlor move ment which started year or two ago, may be the indirect cause of Q pronounced trend toward more substantial. better wearing fabrics, indicated by spring buying, &C., cording to Roscoe R. Rau, manag- ing director of the National Retail Furniture association.
 Since we are all too poor to go places and are obliged to stay at home few evenings q week and even entertain at home occasional ly. we have had time to notice that the old family sofa. and fathers favorite chair have rather passed their first beauty ands are in need of replacement" MT Rau said.
 "The buying trend in upholstery fabrics during the recent markets was decidedly toward the weaves which are certain to hold up un- der hard wear. Perhaps furniture is being used harder than it was a few years ago when most of us were staying at home only long enough to get ready to go some place else. For whatever reason, there is a marked indication that the chiep, gaudy fabrics of doubt full wearing qualities are definitely out
 There is a great deal of interest evidenced in the various weaves, MT Rau pointed out. Mohair fa- brics, in both the velvet and the flat and looped weaves were popu- lar with the buyers. Although these fabrics have been rather out for a few seasons, the gen. eral trend toward better grades of upholstery material is bringing them back into favor. There is more careful selection of weaves and more attention given to the fitness of the weave to the style of the piece of furniture the ma terial covers.
 Small figured fabrics, Mir Rau said. are more popular than those of large and fiashy design. Mohair fabrics in small allover patterns in tbe popular green and rust shades. are among the leaders. chintzes and handblocked linens are like. wise popular. Tapestries hold their own in this contest for popularity and friezes and velvets show up very well, In sN fabrics. there .s a deicded indication that the cheaper pieces nre better styled and designed and the whole trend is toward materials Of better

MADRID CHANGES
 ROYAL NAMES

Madrid. (UP)-Although numer- ous streets, theaters, stores, and manufactured articles changed their names in the days following the proclamation of the republic, one still finds here "Teatro Roy alty" and Royalty Bar"
 The explanation for this is that the word Royalty" being in Eng fish, does not immediately convey the meaning which the Spanish equivalent, Real" does. If it did, the bar and theater would have to change their names, for the "Teatro Rear' had to change it's name to the Opera" and the "Cine Real' changed its to the "Cine da la Opera"
 The streets and public squares in Madrid. whose names have been modified, now number 12- the latest change being the nam- ing of the former Alfonso XII Street "Alcala -Zamora Street." on the occasion of the inauguration of Don Niceto as first president of the second republic. Among the names obliterated were some which had nothing to do with the kings name. or royalty-for ex- ample, the Street of the Love of God" was renamed to honor the veteran republican journalist. Roberto Castrovido.
 Ex-King Alfonso XIII, besides having been honored with the name of a street in Madrid. had one named after him in Paris. which some republicans now would like 10 see changed.
