In some instances this may a useful temporary mea- sure, but is not to be recommended as a steady custom, especially if the water be extremely hot. In fact, the continued use of extremely hot bever- ages may impair the condition of the mucous membranes of (the tube leading to the stomach.) Ar crect posture, whether standing or sitting, deep breathing and exer- eises to improve the tone of the abdominal muscles will prevent much ill-health. We are convinced that the mental attitude plays a large part in poor posture. This may be due to worry and care and disappointment, but lack of physical vigor and pep is in most people a complicating factor. Good posture is one of the best physi- cal assets. It is a substantial busi- ness asset. It is a social and pro- fessional asset. It costs nothing. Many serious diseases come from infection in mouth and tonsils and throat and nose. Do not let decayed roots remain in your mouth. Have them pulled without delay. They may cost you your life. If you have head- aches, have your eyes examined. Eye strain may break down your health. Wear glasses if they are needed and save brain and nervous system from strain. Train your skin to resist drafts and changes in temperature by cool bath- ing, and cold sponging of neck and chest. = Have your nose and throat examined, and obstruction or chronic infection corrected, if you have fre- quent colds. For men as well as for women, the period between forty-five and fifty five seems to be a climacteric, a state in existence when the individual is tested for fitness to continue in the race. “Lopsided” brain work and bad mental hygiene, i.e., too much work, too little play, or too much play, too little work, are important factors in bringing on premature disease. The brain worker needs some physical work and mental play. The manual laborer or mechanic needs some phys- ical play and mental work. Tuberculosis is practically always acquired; one is not born with it; neither does one inherit the “germs” of this disease, except in rare instan- ces. These germs must gain entrance to the body and find a favorable soil in which to thrive. Infection may oc- cur in adult life, but how frequently it is impossible to say. There has been an exaggerated fear of contract- ing tuberculosis by mere proximity to a consumptive. A tuberculosis sub- ject who uses proper care in expec- torating and in disposing of sputum is net a menace and there is practically nou danger of contracting the disease from the breath of the consumptive. It is the sputum, either in mass or as sprayed out when coughing, that is the vehicle of infection. All advertised consumption cures should be avoided. Hypophosphites have been shown to have practically no value. Drugs have a limited range of usefulness. The cure of thedisease, like its prevention, lies chiefly in fresh air, sunshine, good food, proper rest and sleep, avoidance of physical or mental exhaustion or harrassing worry. A simple elementary measure of | prevention is to examine the body pe- riodically in order to note the earliest possible sign of tuberculosis. It is a sad fact that the majority of cases apply for sanatorium treatment when far advanced in the disease. Always take the benefit of the doubt. So-called rheumatism, neuritis, sciatica, neuralgia, lumbago and prac- tically all ailments of this nature have been found to be secondary, in a large percentage of cases, to focul in- fection. The chronic changes in the heart, kidneys and blood vessels which are very much on the increase are the results, to a large defree, or due to this cause. The commonest sites for the devel- opment of focal infection are the roots of the teeth, tonsils, middle ear and cavities in the skull, communica- ting with the nasal passages. Less frequent sites are the reproduction organs, gall bladder, appendix, intes- tinal tract, diseased joints, wounds of long standing, especially those in- ‘volving bone. The gall-bladder, appendix and in- testinal tract are sometimes the site of focal infection; but inmost cases of this nature there are definite diges- tive disorders that direct attention to these points, and the diagnosis of such conditions can usually be made by summarizing the data obtained on physical and X-ray examination, to- geether with the history. Needless to say any focus of infec- tion in the body is a serious menace to health and should be removed. This we believe to be an additional argu- ment in favor of a periodic health ex- amination for it is only in this way that the whole body is thoroughly in- vestigated and such conditions re- vealed. AIR Do not be afraid of night air. Sleep with your windows open. : Jeeep out in the air as much as pos- sible. Wear loose, light-weight clothes.

Time, the consoler, Time the rich car- rier of all changes, dries the freshest tears by obtruding new figures, new cestumes, new roads, OR our eye, new voices on our ear. As the west wind lifts up again the heads of the wheat which were bent down amd lodged in the sterm amd combs out the matted and dishevelled grass as it lay in night-locks on the ground, so we let in Time as a drying wind into the seed-fields of thoughts which are dark ‘and wet and low bent. Time restores to them temper and elasticity.—Emerson. | —Both French and American dress designers are making an effort this ! season to restore the much-discussed ! normal waist line, but as for the last ‘three years, with only partial success. The adjustment of this line to the prevailing taste in silhouettes is a difficult problem. The slender figure that is now so fashionable may no be achieved with a belt that circles the natural line and the “easy” fit is obviously here to stay. The long waist, accordingly, is again prevalent this season, but with less unanimity than before. i —The grave risk of repetition, I ifind myself again advocating the short fur jacket. But the ones I've (seen since my last effervescent en- , coniums have brought me almost to the point of speechlessness. Even i those who dislike fur daytime coats, and insist that all of them are bulky, ican find no answering argument to {the quietly distinctive lines of the hip-length jacket swinging in a dig- nified rhythm over the modish velvet skirt. —The season’s black and white pertness could find no better expres- sion, than in the short coat (nothing more or less) of ermine, worn over the gently flared skirt of black velvet. The collar may be continued rever of self-fur, or, in luxurious and enviable cases, of dark sable that slinks hap- pily over the shoulders scarf-fashion. But to leave ermine pipe-dreams and descend to more approachable realities, the short coat of baby leop- ard, with deep patch pockets is a probable. If has shawl collar of beaver and deep beav- er cuffs. cial favorite for the short coat. long haired pelt, in cocoa caracul makes an extremely wearable coat, with neatly tailored shoulders, wide revers, and a throw scarf of the same fur, that may be comfortably loop- ed over at the throat. Brown velvet ed hose, and brown suede shoes, and what better outfit could you design for early frosty days. To ascend the heights again, I find myself thinking of a mellow brown mink with a soft throw scarf I saw at the Ritz one luncheon. The frock with it was a sepia cashmere, pleat- containing a blouse was by a c.uster of tiny ones. The coat was open. Beaver is a favorite and practical medium for the short fur coat, and of course, nutria in the still less ex- pensive. Sheared lamb and the var- ious members of the have launched a novelty in the duction of leather trimmings, and beiges. Occasionally, ers have advanced the reds and greens to match the fur. These short jackets of fur, particu- larly when worn over a circular broadcloth skirt, have a chic that is son, especially since they are spon- sored by most of the leading Paris designers. Unlike many of the new jacket suits which bear some type of sweater blouse as a waist, these fur jackets are worn over one-piece frocks, the broadcloth of the skirt continuing up to complete the frock. —Only a few changes have been made in the styles of sleeves since last season. For daytime and inform- al evening wear the long tight-fitting cleeve is usual. Lucien Lelong uses small buttons to fasten the sleeve from wrist to elbow and cuts the neck round, square or pointed. Redfern is making some new styles of sleeves. One, cut wide at the hand, is slashed to the elbow. Su- zanne Talbot adds a flaring cuff at the elbow of a tight-fitting coat sleeve. Beer makes his coat sleeves straight and slightly wider at the bottom. Drecoll is showing an even- Ing coat with sleeves closed at the wrist and up-turned flaring cuffs, Wwe use to indicate articles of dress or materials that are usually mis- pronounced. Here are a few of them: Brassiere should be in three syl- lables with the accent divided among them as bras-eeair. And not bra- Zeer, Beige is not beeje or very soft. Georgette is two syllables—George- et, not george-i-et. _ Lame, as applied to metallic mate- rials, is lamb-ay, not simply lamb or like the English lame. Ensemble is pronounced as much as possible in two syllables. It is hard to give it with English equivalents, is may suggest it, “ansambl,” with the first n in the first syllable pro- nounced without letting the tongue touch the roof of the mouth. Decollette is in three syllables, day- coll-tay, pronounced with equal stress on all three syllables. It is often mis- pronounced like this: deckle-tay, with the stress on the last syllable. If you cannot get the right pronuncia- tion, better use low neck or neckline instead. Moire is pronounced moi-ray. The moi amounts to m’wah said rapidly and does not rhyme with toy. Nacre—meaning mother of pearl— is pronounced as much as possible in one syllable, but when speaking Eng- lish mother of pearl is preferred, Paillette is pronounced pie-ette. Bandeau is band-o. —Tweed suits and separate coats take entirely different kinds of furs Hie season. Suits favor short, curly urs. one syllable—baje—and beeaje.

Every woman not only wants to ho loved, but she wants to be told that she is loved. Dut it is a pity for her to force or twist the issue so that it becomes not a question of hosw a man may or can express his affee- tion, but it becomes rather almost a questior Hf how he may defend hip sel! or preserve his independence. “It should not he forgotten that there are many ways cf expressing love and that one man's silence might express more of his affection than the constant declarations of a different type. “The demand by a wife for constant reassurance that a husband loves her, when she knows perfectly well that he does, is not the way to keep a deep and Ierge and self-forgotting love.” Good Hezl:h KMatter of Correct Posture Not only gracefulness, but also our health and the prevention of excessive fatigue, depend a great deal upon pos: ture—the way we stand, sit and walk. warns a heaith expert in the Farm Journal. That is why it is most im. portant that the persen who has much work to do, and yet wants to have vaergy left to enjoy life and to give pleasure to others, should against habits of incorrect posture, Consider first the standing position. fhe weight should be on the balls of the feet, the chest up, the chin slight ly back but in line with the cliest, the leet exactly parallel, the arms dropped easily at the sides. To see that your body is in perfect balance when vou ure standing. rise on your toes and sink down again. When you stand with your chest drooping, your stom ach out and your spine curved. you appear at a disadvantage; and what is worse, this position causes your vital organs to be displaced. In walking, the first thing is to star cight with the correct standing po- | ~ition. The toes should point straight i | i ed all around in wide groups, each : fitted snugly to the skirt series of diagonal silk strips, that showed in a wide band when the i sheep family intro- in greys the design- but in most cases the attempt is made to the front or be turned in the fruc- tion of an inch. To stand or walk with the toes pointing out produces awkwardness and often leads to foot troubles, such as fallen arches. Lax Justice The way rich transgressors manage to keep out of jail led Governor Mar- tincau of Arkansas to say in Little Rock : “It reminds me of a story. A man was traveling in New Mexico, and in a little town embowered in palms and flowers the mayor seemed to be quite a character. He held all the offices—judge, coroner, police captain ~ and so forth—and whatever turned up bound to give them a successful sea- —There are numbers of little words to be done, he was there to do it. “After lunch, as he and his guest sat smoking in the garden, he turned to his clerk and said: “ ‘Higginson, by the way, sneak ove: co the roulette parlor and tell Don Juan Sereda I want to try him for that murder case.’” Blue Baboon A grotesque but humane method of repulsing wild animals is being prac ticed in Kenya colony, Africa. Rle phants, hipppopotami, bushpigs and baboons were surprised recently when they found among their number a queer animal resembling a baboon, ex- | cept that it had all its hair shaved off and wore a coat of bright blue, They were so startled that they nc tonger return to raid the colonists, and the idea is recommended by the offi cial who captured the baboon and re- leased it after transforming its ap pearance with a razor and paint brush, Mimics A Londoner was hurrying along the embankment to keep an appointment for which he was already late. He was stopped by a party of Americans, one of whom asked courteously if he would point out Cleopatra's Needle. “Why, certainly,” responded the (.ondoner; “it’s just here.” He indicated the famous obelisk, and at the same time removed his hat to wipe his brow. Whereupon the Americans also uncovered and gazed at the needle with reverence. Biology Omits This A Chicago boy was visiting on a farm in Indiana for the first time.

England that they came from far and near and even those not so religiously inclined made their “Canterbury pilgrimages.” For 300 years this was kept up and many an inn sprang from existence to prosper- ity in the shadow of the sacred edi- fice. In time some of these pilgrim- ages became less of a religious exer- cise than a favorite summer execur- sion and their history is shadowed in our word “canter” which is the shortened form of “Canterbury gal- lop.” Another interesting thing assoclat-d with this cathedral is the division of the Bible into two chapters. Stephen Langton, who died in 1223, was ecar- dinal and archbishop of Canterbury a statesman of no mean fo.ce. This was the age of the beginnings of organized learning and Cardinal Langton, after distinguishing himegelf as a teacher, gave his time a standardized text of the Vulgate—there being up until then almost as many versivns as there were Bibles. It was in this wo.k that he made the no- vation of dividing the lengthy books into chapters. thus making specified passages much easier to find.—Detroit News. Ccllecior Had MNoled Pussy’s Rubber Heals There is a saying to the effect that “Possession is nine points of the law,” but in these days of repossession many strange experiences are the lot of the man whose job is to bring back the goods. One such individual tells the story of a case wherein he had repeatedly made calls, but could nev- er find the party at home. At least, the bell ringing was always ignored. Noticing one day that the threshold of the front doorway was worn quite | thin, so that one could look into the hallway some few inches, the collec- tor decided to leave his card, and aft- er noisily walking down the steps re- turned again very quietly and saw his card being picked up. H: said nothing and when he finally guined admission, later in the week, he remarked to the woman that he had called several days earlier and She replied very sociably that “I knew you must have been here because I found your card. It was in the middle of the hall floor where the cat must have pulled it in and was playing with it.” The collector looked at her very coolly, remarking, “Yes, 1 know. I saw his rubber heels.” Hopeless An airplane flew over an Irish asy- lum, much to the consternation of the inmates.

The tower was built to celebrate the victories of the Emperor Trajan, whose remains are buried beneath this beau- tiful structure.

Chief among them sre curry- stones and grindstones. Every well. conducted Indian household must have one or both, and the currystone from Agra must sooner or later be import- ed into all kitchens. There is some stone. It Is so ground and polished a8 to resist the onslaughts of the heft- fest bottle washer, and the acrid masala does not penetrate its pore? and break it. Stone pestles and mortars are popu- lar for the same reason. They are much sought after by apothecaries and the weird contingent of charlatans who make medicine for India’s mil- lions. Marble pestles and mortars are very useful for pounding up drugs, and stone ones are generally used for blacksalt, alum and other hard sub- stances that require less care than eye of newt and toe of frog. But stone pestles and mortars are not the mn nopoly of medicine, They are turned out by the hundred for the use of the housewife. They are heavy and cumbersome; yet housewives will travel miles to pro- cure them, pilgrims will tug them home if they pass by that way, and at the biz Indian religious fairs one sees a pile of grindstones, currystones, pestles and mortars, hailing from Agra, Aligarh, and Jeypote, Why Some Wives Have Thoughts of Murder “These eggs don't taste as fresh as they might, dear, Where did you get them?

Remarkable I"—Kansas Industrialist, Value of Timidity Anatole France, in his younger days, found it profitable to assume a pose of timidity. Once before starting on a lecture tour, he said to his press agent: “l want you to work up a reputa tion for me. I don’t know that I am particularly timid, but I should like to be thought so, A timid man can do anything. If he is silent when he ought to speak, people say, ‘How charming! He's so timid, you know.’ If he speaks when he should be si- lent, they set it down to nervousness. A timid man can dare so much with impunity. So please tell all the peo- ple in advance that I am timid.” Gourmets Eat Horse Meat Horses, mules and donkeys sup- plied the only meat served to gour- Among the Important dishes were cheval a la delacroix and pate to foie trouffle of donkey, the last named arousing special praise from the delighted epicures.

The Department of Highways is continuing the movement to protect railroac crossings and has received bids for fifty advance warning sig- nals of the continuous flashing type. The new signs are to be installed at grade crossing approaches where vi- sion is obstructed and the driver sud- denly comes upon the tracks. The bids included also fifty markers for dangerous bridge or underpass ap- proaches at grade separations. Highway Department specifications for the new signs require that they be modeled after the standard sign in use at present in Pennsylvania and most other States, consisting of met- al with a cross and the letters “R R” imposed on the ‘target portion. The cross on the new signs will be illum- inated by a flashing device in continu- ous operation, the letters equipped with the familiar reflecting device so that they will flash into view at night only when the lights of the approach- ing vehicle strike them. During day- light only the flashing cross will be illuminated, although the letters will be plainly visible. The new signs will be yellow with black outline, emitting = an amber flash. They will be placed well in ad- vance of the dangerous spot. At the actual danger point the standard rail- road warning with red flashes will be in operation only when a train ap- proaches and closes the track circuit. About 1500 grade crossings in the State has “blind” approaches. The railroads and the department will share the cost of installing the signs. The second type of marker, for ap- proaches to grade separations such as bridges and underpasses, will be of the diamond-shape type, similar to those now in use at “Thru-Stop” highway intersections. The new signs, however, will include a flashing diamond over the word “slow” which will be in continuous operation, self- illaminated day and night. Pennsylvania is the first State to undertake a systematic, complete marking of dangerous approaches to grade crossings and grade separa- tions. Its own specifications were de- veloped for the advance signals. PRR ay We are celebrating! It’s the Fauble Stoves’ 42nd birthday Satur- day, December 1st. Come see how we celebrate.

Compiling statistics is no longer a tedious task for the offce force of the registrar of the Pennsylvania State College. A mechanical “statistician” which registrar William S. Hoffman claims can take the place of seven human assistants, now collects almost any kind of information the registrar desires in the space of a few minutes, By sorting cards which are number- ed according to a code, this machine can in a few minutes tell the names of the fraternal organizations, of the members of the student body, their religious affiliations, father’s occupa- tion, class in college, county in which they live, and the scholastic rank in high school besides the differentia- tion according to college scholastic standing. Another mechanical device which is operated in conjunction with the “statistician” enables the registrar to determine the scholastic standing of any group of students in a short time by ther sorting of the code-marked cards. ——Have your breakfast early and be at Faubles promptly at 9 a. m.
