I BACHELORS By LAURA Love! Wud! May I say? And vet nay, Not for Joauph, if he knows It. Oh, dear no, not for Joe! Nino bachelors out. of ten will icll you Unit what they don't know in their study of women Isn't worth knowing. The truth is the bachelor judges all from the few ho has been brought in contact with. He has laid down a set of rules for himself in his observances. To him they seem to have the appearance of truth as strong as Holy Writ. f There is little use for his friends to try to bait him Into matrimony. He 'is too wary a fish. If he nuiets a lively girl, all smiles and a dash of coquetry nbout her, he shuts the door of his heart against her, barring it fast. "That girl's going to turn out a treacherous wife' is his mental calculation. "She's of the kind that tangles husbands into a divorce court." The girl who is a good conversationalist he eyes with terror. She's of the kind that will rule the roost when she marries. Her husband will be a henpecked man. . The quiet girl he thinks will drive the man she marries to the crazy houso by her tightly compressed Hps that will show neither a smile nor an encouraging word. The plump girl he has an aversion to, declaring there's not the least doubt that she will tip the scales at m m u h m m FOOD AND EFFECT ON TUBERCULOSIS By Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, Commiwioncr of Health of Pennsylvania. M M M While tuberculosis is caused by a well-known germ, we often have a right to be suspicious of Its coming from want of proper nourishment. This would seem to be a forerunner of the true disease of tuberculosis. This want of nourishment Is to be accounted for in several ways. The digestive system may bo naturally weak ; that is, born weak; it may have been strong In early life but abused by the use of alcohol, eating rapidly when physically or mentally tired, or by gulping food without proper chewing or mastication. A plunge bath just after eating will often st digestion. The drinking of f " during a meal, or iced tea or ill reduce the temperature of )maeh so that the natural pre . digestion Is Interfered with. A& -dult the food is not properly pi ed for the organs to absorb It. Therefore It Is not taken up by the blood stream as It travels through the system of arteries to build up the different tissues of the body. The Increase of tuberculosis of lute In Belgium, In Franco, and other warring countries is largely due to the want of the things thai nature demands for building up healthy bodies. Wo must have some nitrogen In the form of meat or eggs or beans. We must have some fats. And we must have some starches. Otherwise the body will be partly starved and disease germs will thrive in the different tissues. This occurs more often in the lungs than anywhere else, but there Is hardly an organ in the body that will not, under certain conditions, become tuberculous. It Is to be hoped that here in America, where we have stich a variety of climates and of soil, we. shall be able to keep up a general food supply and shall not be restricted In any of those things which nature requires. They will reduce our power to produce foodstuffs, munitions of war. and all of those things that are essential for our living. One great drawback in lighting the battle against tuberculosis Is that it Is not recognized early enough for us to combat It successfully. The recognition of tuberculosis requires a special medical training. We have tuberculous cases finding their way Into federal service through various paths. This Is because we are confronted with ft grnt necessity to form an army and navy in a short space of time, and those responsible for this onerous work are unable to get special training in diagnosing this widespread disease. We who are unable to go to the front because of being too young or too old. or physically defective, will have to take the responsibility of keeping up the home conditions. We must see that foodstuffs are produced for all, not only at home but for the faithful nnd brave who have gone to the front to risk thejr lives for the continued freedom of America. Testing tuning forks is a new line of work, which the versatile United States bureau of standards has taken up. A tuning fork for use in ordnance tests has recently been standardized for the war department, and equipment has been secured for carrying on such work regularly. A paper bag.Into which germ or insect killing gases may be Injected has been Invented for the storing of cloth Ing.

THINK THEY

KNOW

JEAN LIBBEY. 200 and more by the time she Is forty. The very slender girl he Is certain j will dwindle Into skin tind bone, which he abhors. The girl with a doll face he Ik sure Is a fright If all her makeup were rubbed away. He would doubt anyone's word she didn't paint. The girl who likes music would make home so uncomfortable with eternal screeching and banging on the piano that marriage would be a failure for the most patient man In the world. And as for a genius oh, dear no! Not for Joe ! She'd Insist on wearing her husband's coat, boots and all. The girl who is all force of character would place her husband at the foot of his dining table. So It goes down through all the list. He looks for their faults, picking Haws, but he does not look for the virtues of each and every one, which more than balance in tho right direction. The only way a man can study the subject of woman Is at close range by marrying. Even at that, he may live half a lifetime and find new and charming traits about her he never dreamed she possessed. What man really does not know about woman would fill volumes. Of the guesses lie has made concerning them his arrows have struck wide of the mark. Bachelors should not discourage Cupid. (Copyright, 1517.) EDDIE PLANK UNABLE TO REALIZE HIS AMBITION Greatest of Southpaws Not Likely to See Twenty Years of Service in the Big Leagues. Eddie Plank's pet ambition to figure In baseball's "big ring" as a pitcher for twenty years will probably never be realized. Plank started out this season with the Browns, hopeful that his good old salary souper would hold out. At the San Antonio training camp of Fielder Jones' men Plank worked with the care that is exercised by all seasoned pitchers in getting the old wing into shape. He nursed his arm along for nearly a month before he made an attempt to "steam" the ball across the pan, and when the season opened he was ready, or thought that he was. But Plank was due to be sadly disappointed. In his first two or three starts lie found that the cunning of the Eddie Plank. arm was genu and he was finally forced to leave the team and go home for a rest, suffering with a nervous breakdown. That Plank will be able to stage a comeback is doubtful, for he has been one of the hardest-working pitchers in the major leagues for 10 years, and ho has got Just about, all he will ever be able to get out of the arm that had been a terror to the batters for so many seasons. Plank ranks as the greatest of southpaws. In his time, including the season of 1015, which he spent with the St. Louis Federals, he participated in 603 games of baseball under the big tent, and out of this number he had won 31S games up to the close of the 191 G season and lost 1SC. which is some record. He has been a member of all six of Connie Mack's championship clubs in the American league and has shared in five world series, three of which he helped to win. He has often said that he wanted to pitch for 20 years, or at least until he had reached his fortyThe Man Who Wins. The man who wins is tho man who goes Ahead with his work each day; Who's never struck by his adverse luck, But makes of his labors play; From early dawn he will toil right on, And know that the world's all right. And he sings a song as he goes along. For it sharpens his appetite. The man who wins is the man who smiles And sees that the sky is blue; He Is always there with a great big share Of smiles and of sunshine, too; lie never growls, and he never howls That the world is out of gearBut he meets the shocks and the jealous knocks With a great, broad smile of cheer. The man who wins is the willing man. Who grinds while others play; The stin shines bright and his heart's all right. Though things may not corn his way. He makes a boast that to get the most " Of life you must just dig in. And work away ev'ry nowborn day. If you ever expect to win.

fifth year, but it tippcar.s now that Old Pop Time has placed a stymie In his path which will keep him from realizing his ambition. Plank Is a vivid example of what clean living will do for a ball player. He hns taken wonderful care of himself all the years he has been in the game, and he Is an admirable model for the young pitchers coming up to emulate.

Things New Under the Sun. Swiss opticians have developed an arc light In which the curbons are Impregnated with Iron salts, producing a light rich In ultra-violet rays, for scientific purposes. Shallow streams and canals In one part of Missouri are being navigated by a local inventor's boat that is both driven and steered by an airplane engine and propeller. Two scientists , of the Washington State college have invented a handoperated pneumatic machine for forcing vaporized poisons into the burrows of underground animal pests. Attachments for motor trucks invented by an Illinois man plow furrows In ground, loy telephone or telegraph cables, cover them and repack the earth at a single operation. Rubber artificial eyes, which are partially pneumatic, have been invented in Europe and are said to be lighter and more comfortable than glass ones. On the face of new watches appears an additional dial with a single hand to indicate how tightly their mainsprings are wound and prevent overwinding. To lessen the skin friction a motorboat has been invented in which air is pumped from the inside and discharged below the water line along the sides of the hull and at the stern. I Mothers I l Cook Book I The happy life may be poor and humble In externals. It may have many re8trictionfl, and many privations; but If It enshrines the pure In heart, the hour of loving and serving and sacrificing, it is beautiful in contrast to the worldly pleasure that flnds no peace or rest In the soul itself, only puerile activity like that of a cloud of insects that die and leave no trace of the great interests of the world. Summer Dishes. In innking elderberry pies the addition of a few grapes or a little spice and vinegar will improve the flavor wonderfully. The same Is true of blue or huckleberries. A few grapes add flavor nnd accent the flavor of the berries. Favorite Frozen Dessert. Take three oranges, three lemons, three bananas, three cupfuls of sugar, and three cupfuls of water. Squeeze the juice from the lemons and oranges, mash the bananas and mix all together and freeze. If the water and sugar are boiled together five minutes nnd cooled before mixing the cream will not melt so quickly -when serving. I Peach Parfait. ' Take a quart of well-mashed peaches i that are very ripe, add the juice of two lemons; pour one quart of boiling waI tor over two cupfuls of sugar and boll five minutes, pour over the peach pulp: ! let cool and freeze to a soft nnish, beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, put in a tablespoonful of sugar and a tablespoonfuls of vanilla, mix well in the half frozen peaches and freeze hard. Quince Balls. Peel the quinces after washing them well and cut small balls with the potato cutter from each until a pint or two is obtained. Cook the parings and pieces until much of the flavor has been extracted in the water, strain, add sugar and the balls. Cook them covered, and they will be a beautiful red. These balls may be used as a garnish for various frozen dishes, or, dipped in fondant and served as confections, they are so unusual that they will never become too common. They may be dipped in chocolate also if desired as bon bons. Any cold rice that has been cooked without seasoning, exi'ept salt, may he fried in a little bacon fat after being made into small cakes. Brown on both sides and serve with cold meat for a supper dish. The Spirit of Youth. When all has been said, and the last warning uttered, the spirit of Youth remains the only true and healthful spirit of life. The objects which the passionate heart of Youth pursues remain always the vital ones, writes Edward Lewis in the Atlantic. The direction given to Youth by the creative impulse which brings it into being, before Society coerces it and the Church ; warps it, remains the right direction j unto the end of life. Nor can there be a nigner reaen or iaitn man that of which the unwritten creed of Youth is the expression 1 believe in joy, in lifewardness, In self-expression. I believe in the world and in the flesh. I believe In the natural man. the health of his instincts, the purity of his functions, and in his divine potentialities. I believe in the soundness of the human heart, the goodness of life, the beauty of all experience. The worst of it is that, when we are young as years go, we never posses our Youth. China is beginning to export pig iron from what are believed to be the greatest deposits of iron in the world.

IS ALWAYS SMART

Strictly Tailored Suit to Be Staple Fall Model. Coat Will Be About Thirty-SIx inches In Length and the Skirt About Two Yards Wide. Here is a modish little early fall "tailleur," made of men's wear blue serge, with collar of black velvet and braid and button trimming. This suit might also be attractively developed in Oxford gray suiting, with black braid and button trimming. There Is much speculation as to the suit that will be preferred this fall and winter. It seems safe to predict that strictly tailored models featuring a coat approximately 3G inches in length and with skirts about two yards wide will be regarded as staples. This kind of suit is always smart, easily kept in shape and gives service that can never be hoped for from one of the dressy models. In addition to this argument, the government has Indicated to manufacturers that they will do well to use fabrics sparingly, and the ultra-long suit coats recommended when fall fashion notes were first given to the public will hardly have a general vogue. The suit here shown is a youthful model, buttoning smartly in doublebreasted fashion, and with both coat and skirt equipped with pockets. The question of how strongly fall suits will continue to show the military influence is still unsettled. Some of the very early models show the military influence in the use of khaki-col-ored worsted, and in many military pockets, epaulet shoulder arrangements, etc., but it is not likely that suits for late fall and winter wear will be very strongly influenced by the present vogue. The Russian blouse type of suit and a modified directoire are both shown in fall and winter models ; but the strictINSPIRATION FOR FALL Young women will seize upon this as a source of inspiration for their fall bonnets. It brings with it a train of possibilities that any ingenious girl can enlarge upon. It is of black velvet, with feathered brim. A large pin ornament of gold adds the contrasting note to the stunning creation. FLAMINGO RED IS RETAINED Suits of Pongee in Thjs Hue, With White Chiffon Blouses, Are Worn for Afternoon. The buyers who have returned from Paris with wholesale assortments of early autumn models say that the house of Callot is clinging to the color known as flammant and the fabric known as pongee. We have not had as much of this flamingo red, which Is the English for flammant, as one would expect, considering that its sponsors were the three Callot sisters. Possibly the autumn will bring it out In a definite way, says a writer on fashions. The Chinese silks, particularly that weave of pongee which Is not worn by the coolies, but by the people of caste In China, has been thrown into the French market as one of its dominant fabrics. Suits of it in flamingo red are worn in the afternoon with white chiffen blouses and great black or white satin hats. The addition of the black hat tones down the rose color to a beautiful thing. In tills country we wear natural pongee more than the dyed kind. It Is not a becoming color to any face, and, therefore, it must be kept away from the neck and chin by a collar and blouse. The new suits that are made of it are extraordinarily good, because our close touch with the Orient In the way of commerce has brought to us the kind of pongee that Is turned Into admirable tailored lines and has not the deep, ugly coloring of the cheap pongee which once prevailed. Bags of the Season. The various versions of the envelope bag are good this season and in leather these shapes take precedence for the small bag, while at the other end of the scale are the capacious weekend and motor bags, fitted or not fitted. And, by the way, these bags, so convenient for travel by motor or train and for shopping on certain occasions, are now made up in the glossy black duck that looks like patent leather and is much used for motor trunks and other luggage. The stuff looks well 'and wears well and the bag of it is so low In price compared with a similar bag in leather that many a woman will arise and call it blessed.

The workbag here described has many advantages; it has a firm base, it will close up so that no dust can enter and soil the contents, and it will hold quite a lot of necessary implements for making or mending. A round cardboard box will be needed one with a diameter of S or 9 inches is a nice useful size also some sateen. First of all, cut a circle of sateen the same size as the base of the box. Neatly paste this on the inside of it, then cut a long strip about 25 inches to paste round the sides of the box; the depth of the box should be about 8J& inches. Now cut another strip of suteen about 30 inches long and 8 broad. At the top of this strip run a hem and a heading, so that cord can be run through, and when drawn it will close the bag. The bottom end of the strip need not be hemmed, but neatly paste It to the outside of the box, fulling it u little all the way along, and seam it up the side. This pasting on Is all hidden by a strip of figured tapestry, silk or linen Just whatever may be to hand. If there is no figured material about, a band of plain linen, huff color, looks A Strong Workbag. very well, but before putting round the box, a little simple design could be worked on, or a monogram or initials. A bag worked in the same way makes an excellent collar-box for a man. The collars simply form round, keep clean and do not run any risk of getting cracked or crushed. SUIT COATS TO BE LONGER Extend to Point Slightly Above Knee or Even Below It Skirts Are of Very Simple Type. Besides the strictly tailored suits, there is a fair proportion of the more dressy ones, though some of the latter are Intended mainly for window displays and for openings, says the Dry Goods Economist The coats of the tailored suits are mostly long, extending to a point slightly above the knee or somewhat below it. Some have the portion above the waist made on fitted lines with the lower portion showing a slight fullness, but still preserving the straightline silhouette. The suit skirts are of very simple type, as the coats practically cover them.
