KITCHEN NOT WELL PLANNED
Generally Designed by Men, They
Usually Are Most Unattractive
Room In the House.
Have you ever been in a Kitchen
where the sink was jammed way off
in a dark corner? asks a woman who
goes in for making scientific kitchens
to order. Have you worked in a kitch-
en where you walked 20 feet each
time you hung up the egg-beater?
Have you bumped your head against
a closet over the sink as you washed
dishes? Have you felt that the kitch-
en was the hottest, dingiest, most un-
attractive room in the house? That
kitchen was planned by a mere man.
The worst fate I could wish any
architect is to prepare three meals a
day for -a week in a kitchen of his
own designing. Then, and then only,
would he realize the faults of ineffi-
ciently placed equipment. Tables
and sinks of the wrong height, no:
light over one’s workable, pantries |
that defy a giraffe to reach their top
shelves, and pot-closets so low that
they can hold their own against any
other fat reducer. Then only would
an architect know that it did make a
difference if the sink drain were
placed to the right or left; if the
china shelves were wide or only.
eight inches; if the kitchen were
painted emerald green or a shade of
‘burnt umber and white.

RICH IN PALAEOLITHIC RELICS |
‘Remarkable Find in Welsh Cave Has
Thrown Much Light on Life of i
the Long Past Centuries,
In a recent lecture in the Old Coun-
try, Prof. W. J. Sollas, told of a cave |
rich in palaeolithic relics in human
and animal skeletons and implements,
situated near Rosali, in the Gower pen-
insula in South Wales, and is known
by the name of Paviland cave. The
discovery there, said the professor, of
a painted skeleton, long known as the
“Red Lady,” had rendered it famous.
Recent investigations showed that this
skeleton was the remains of a member
of the tall upper paiaeolithic race.
The bones of the animals, most of
them extinct, were in agreement with
this conclusion, the most abundant be-
ing the horse, cave bear, bison, rein-
deer and rhinoceros. The mammoth
was less common. The implements in-
cluded objects carved out of mam-
moth’s ivory, ivory rods, awls and
amulets, bone marrow scoops, and
wolves’ teeth, perforated for suspen
sion as a necklace. The cave, which
was an ideal hunting lodge for palaeo- ;
lithic man, was the most westerly out-
post of the race in Europe,
Wife's Allowance.
The abysmal igncrance of a great
majority of married American women
concerning the simplest facts and
forms of business is amazing and pa-
thetic. Before showing a high school
girl a cook-book and teaching her how
to make pie we would show her a
checkbook and teach her how to make '
a deposit. You have insured your life,
‘we trust, in favor of your wife; but
have you explained to her what she
should do with the money if it should
fall into her hands—what sort of in
vestments to make; with whom to con
sult; how to check up a bank pass.
book? :
The best beginning for such an edu:
cation is to give your wife—at once—!
a fixed allowance, whatever portion of
the family income reasonably belongs!
to her for her personal use. There is
10 more reason that a wife should ask |
her husband whether she may have $2
with which to buy a pair of gloves
than there is that he should ask her '
whether she will please see that the
beds are made and the dinner cooked.
If a wife cannot handle her own pin
money intelligently, what is the use
of leaving her life insurance ?—Phila- |
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
No Lack of Mustard.
It was an inconvenient time to want |
mustard—Sunday at an hour when all
the delicatessens in the neighborhood
were closed.
“Still it is not so bad as if it were
pepper or salt or vinegar we need,” |
the woman said, “because we can get
mustard at the drug store.”
When the man went out to see
about it, sure enough she was right. |
Mustard in any quantity desired could ;
be obtained at the corner drug store.
“We have to keep it for plasters,”
the clerk explained. “Notwithstand-
ing the advance in medical science
and new-fangled methods of treating
disease, hosts of people still pin their
faith to the homely mustard plaster as
a panacea for all fieshly ills, and no
druggist can afford to let the stock
run out.”
Economical Handling of Salt.
The salt harvested in the Saline
valley of California is now transported
to Swansea, the nearest shipping
point, 26 miles away, by means of an
overhead tramway, which was recent-
1y completed at a cost of $500,000. The
material is conveyed in buckets, and
the hourly capacity of the line is 20
tons. A very interesting feature of the
line is the fact that the downpull of
‘the buckets as they make a descent
of the mountain is utilized in rasing
the buckets over the next grade. Salt
has been mined there for years, but
the amount of the product has been
limited to the local consumption, as
the expense of getting the salt to the
shipping point by mule power has
been prohibitive. |

WARNED OFF THE PREMISES
Picket Waxed Indignant at Careless
Action of Scouting Party of
the Enemy.
“Many a man goes to war without '
the slightest conception of what it
really is,” said a veteran of Gen.
Robert E. Lee's army. “In 1864 I had
command of a detail made up of a
dozen or two recruits that had just
come up from the gulf states. The
first night we were near the enemy, I
managed to find a deserted cabin, and,
after placing my picket out in front,
we flung ourselves down to sleep. In
the middle of the night I changed the
picket, selecting for duty a young |
fellow who had exhibited the most in-
tense longing to exterminate the en-
tire northern army.
“About dawn I was awakened by |
the well-known ‘ping, ping!’ of bullets
against the logs of the cabin and the |
expostulating voice of my picket. Go- |
ing to the door I saw that a small |
scouting party of federal soldiers had '
discovered signs of Confederates in
the cabin and were trying to drive
us out by firing from the opposite
I turned to my picket and gave
a gasp of astonishment. The young '
| man stood in the midst of the clear-
I ing while the bullets whistled around
him. There was no sign of fear
about him, but he was tremendously
excited. He had dropped his musket '
and was waving his arms, trying to at-
tract the attention of the enemy, and
shouting at the top of his voice in
tones of remonstrance:
“Sa-a-y, you fellows over yonder!
Don’t you all be a-shootin’ in here; |
thar's folks in here!”—New York
Evening Post. |
HARD TO EXPLAIN GRATITUDE
Sweetest Reward That Can Be Given,
and the One the Least Easy
to Classify.
|
1
|
i
Gratitude given or received is one
of the best things in the world. We
need far more of it and far better |
quality. Yet I have never read any |
satisfactory account of what it so glori- |
ously means, writes Richard C. Cabot !
in the Atlantic. Its value begins just |
where the value of pay ends. Thanks |
are personal and attempt to fit an ade- |
quate respense to the particular serv- |
ice performed. Pay is an impersonal
coin which has been handed out to
many others before it reaches you, and |
will go to many others when it leaves :
you. It is your right and you are not |
grateful for it. But thanks are a free |
gift and enrich the giver. There is no
nobler art than the art of expressing |
one’s gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed,
unexaggerated terms which answer de- |
votion with fresh devotion, fancy with !
new fancy, clarity with sincerity. Art |
ists who get their reward only in,
money and in the stale plaudits of
clapping hands are restless for some- |
thing more individual. They want to
be intimately understood and beauti-
fully answered. For such gratitude
they look to brother artists, to the few
who really understand. There they
find their best reward; but even this !
leaves something wanting.
Lavender as Tobacco Substitute.
Sweet lavender is now on the mar |
ket and on the side table and the smell
of it is clean, sweet and delicious,
says the London Chronicle “office win-
dow” man. “But did you ever smoke
it? This business of the tobacco trust
.worries the smoker who may have to :
‘pay more for his pipeful. Then comes |
'
‘the glad news that we are growing to-
bacco and even cigar coverings—in
order to beat Sumatra at her own |
game. And also comes a Madrid pro- |
fessor, inquiring what the ancient Ro-
mans smoked. Fine pipes have been |
.dug up in Spain from Roman settle- |
‘ments, but they have no trace of to- |
bacco or opium. Yet they are adorned |
with bas-reliefs picturing the lavender
plant. And in 1276—before tobacco
came to Europe—a Spanish writer
sald that “whoever smokes lavender
feels active, ardent and vigorous.” But
why is it that smoking never crept
into Roman literature?”
Taken From the Spanish.
The origin of the American dollar
mark in the abbreviation of the Span-
ish-American “pesos,” with the p and
the 8 monogrammed, was described by
Dr. i¥lertan Cajori of Colorado college
in the Popular Science Monthly. Doc-
tor Cajori gives more data on the
history of the mark, showing that in
Argentina $ usually follows the nu-
merals in the short advertisements in
newspapers, but usually precedes the
numerals when they are arranged in
columns. Mr. E. Tobitt of the Omaha
public library says it contains an
original ledger of George Washington,
in which the § is used frequently. The
diary of Ezra L’Hommedieu, written
in 1776, shows the earliest occurrence
known of this use. It became preva:
lent gradually, being used at first as
an occasional substitute for the word
“dollars” spelled out.
Peculiar Sunsets.
Green sunsets seen by the Russian
explorers in the newly discovered
polar land have been matched in Eng-
land. Throughout November and De-
glows were of wonderful intensity and
varied colors. At Chelsea especially
the sun went down over the Thames
amid a blaze of unearthly beauty
ranging from deepest red to green, as
may be seen in a series of water color
sketches made at the time and now
preserved in the Chelsea free library.

sets to the volcanic dust projected by

Do You Suffer
From Backache?
When vour kidneys are weak and tor-
pid they do not properly perform their
functions; your back aches and you do
not feel like doing much of anything. You
are likely to be despondent and to borrow
trouble, just asif you hadn’t enough al-
ready. Don’t be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hood’s Sar-
saparilla, gives strength and tone to the
kidneys and builds up the whole system.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is a peculiar com-
bination of roots, barks and herbs. No
other medicine acts like it, because no
other medicine has the same formula or
ingredients. Accept no substitute, but
inejse on having Hood's, and get it today.

The Weary Way
DAILY BECOMING LESS WEARISOME TO
MANY IN BELLEFONTE.
With a back that aches all day,
With rest disturbed at night,
Annoying urinary disorders,
'Tis a weary way, indeed.
Doan’s Kidney Pills are especially for
kidney trouble.
Are endorsed br llefonte citizens.
“I suffered for years from weak kid-
neys,” says Mrs. Mary Hull, of 223 S. Al-
legheny St., Bellefonte. “Not long ago
the trouble became worse and I knew that
if I didn’t do something to check it, it
would become serious. I had a dull pain
across the small of my back and often
sharp twinges darted through my body
and nearly bent me double. I could hard-
ly straighten after stooping. Dizzy spells
were common and black spots often float-
ed before my eyes. One of my family
had taken Doan’s Kidney Pills and she
said they did her a lot of good, so I decid-
ed to try them. They greatly relieved
the backache and removed the dizzy
spells, I have had very little trouble
since.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply
ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills—the same that Mrs. Hull had.
