That, the laws relating to the protec tion of life on the inter urban roads of Indiana, passed by the 1911 legislature are doing much toward diminishing Injury and death on those carriers, was the assertion recently of members of the railroad commission of Indiana. With the decrease in casualties on the interurban lines, however, there Is an apparent increase on the steam roads doing business in the state. During the last three days reports of sixteen accidents on the steam roads of Indiana have reached the office of the commission. Three of the accidents resulted In fatalities, and thirteen resulted in minor or serious injuries. Better Men Hired. Members of the commission attributed the decrease in accidents in interurban roads almost entirely to the class of men now being hired as motormen and conductors. Provisions of one law require roads to hire as motormen only those persons that have had at least one year's experience in interurban train work, and that clause has done much to save life and limb in Indiana, according to the commission. There are approximately 7,300 miles of railroad in Indiana, compared with 1,700 miles of interurban lines. Members of the commission argued that the casualty, rate on the steam roads should be no higher than that on the interurban roads, because of the fact that approximately the same number of trains is run on the interurban roads as on the steam lines. The offi-. clals consider each car on the interurbans a train, since the hazard of each car is practically as great as that of a train. Passengers Injured. Figures given out several days ago by the commission show that 132 passengers were injured during January, February and March this year on the steam roads of the state, while 45 casualties, including nine deaths, were re ported on the steam roads as occur ring to travelers on highways inter secting with the rights of way. Em ployes numbering 371 were victims of accidents, and 32 of them, met death during the same months, while tres passers on the railroad companies lands met with 70 accidents, 42 of which were fatal. During the same months interurban roads showed a much lower casualty total, a decrease of approximately 50 per cent, compared with the rate of the corresponding months of 1910. Down and Up. "That remedy." said a senator of a proposed piece of legislation, "is as impracticable as little George Washington's. George Washington, you know, when his father spoke to him about the cherry tree said: "'Tea, father; I did chop down tb tree, but I can easily make the evil good.'

- M HER, Of Interest To Hot Water ae a Tonic. Drinking a cup of hot water Is a r:ore efficacious treatment for many ills than some persons realize. There are physicians who prescribe it for inactive livers, a glassful to be taken as soon as one wakes in the morning. The warmth as well as the liquid are beneficial, for it is a well known fact that few persons drink as much water through the day as they should. That the dose affects the complexion favorably there is no doubt. Some persons add the juice of half a lemon to the water. There is no doubt that for certain systems this Is beneficial, but it Is a matter that a physician should decide in individual instances. Many a case of simple indigestion may be cured by drinking a cup of hot water, the dose to be taken as soon as there Is any sense of discomfort Adding a half teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda is recommended by some physicians where there is pronounced acidity of the stomach, the soda acting as a neutralizes while the warm liquid carries the matter from the stomach. Fersons who are dieting for reduction find hot water more thirst quenching than cold, and they therefore can get along comfortably with a Smaller quantity. That water taken with food is fattening' there is no doubt. Hot water is an excellent substitute for tea for persons made nervous by the beverage and on certain occasions may be used as a food substitute. If for any reason there is a desire to get along with the least quantity of food and the stomach becomes empty, hot water is soothing and fills the void, so that for a time a feeling of faintness is obviated. It is in no way a food, however, and should hot be regarded as such. Changing the Hair Lino. So much has been said of the folly of changing the cplffure to suit each passing style that the other side is apt to be overlooked. Hair can be worn too continuously in one style, and if a woman is not careful she may find herself without any hair on the top of her head in the place where the hair ought to grow. The girl who thinks she looks picturesque with parted hair should occasionally take weeks off for a pompadour unless she wants a broad path across her cranium. This holds good S or the angles at which the long hair is arranged, and there should be frequent changes, if only in the privacy of the boudoir. The benefit of these changes is realized when one finds that dandruff accumulates under the thickest part of the hair, and if it Is too long in one spot there Is danger the trouble becoming chronic. Mothers have much to be responsible for by not regarding hair strain for their daughters. No girl who wears her hair In one way from the time she Is six or eight until she puts on long frocks can hope to have a good head of hair. It is bound to be worn in places. Cosmetics as Character Builder. Cosmetics as an aid in character building are advocated by many doctors who have an extensive practice among society women. One of those physicians says women who have any little defect that can be hidden by powder or paint should never hesitate to employ the artificial method. Ap pearances." he explains, "mean much to a woman mentally and socially. A girl who has some slight personal do feet, such as a scar, a poor complexion or bloodless lips, is enormously handicapped. The knowledge of her defect and the thought others may observe it make her shy and lacking in self confidence. She shuns society and becomes morbid and miserable. 1 know of one case where a girl's life wr.s ruined because of complexion troubles, fij lues as .8. vromaols makeup Is not

The Women eo obvious us to be' objectionable tier means to an end are justifiable. She does no one any harm and she does herself a great deal of good. The knowledge that her particular defect Is no longer visible to all beholders gives her a contented mind, and that has its inevitable result upon her character and outlook on life." Grace Without Petticoats. "Are you a petticoatless woman? And If you have discarded your underskirts have you learned to go without them gracefully?" said the beauty lecturer to her audience. "The advice I would give to the unpetticoated, to the woman who wears a skirt so snug and clinging that she must adopt some other style of underwear than the old time petticoats, is this: "Look at your shoes. Tour skirt may not be cut off at your boot tops, but it is certain that they will show. "Have your ankles trim. Wear buttoned boots and set the buttons over until they absolutely pinch your ankles. "Don't wear shabby shoes. Your feet simply must look nice. "Wear thin stockings, the gauzier the better; under them wear flesh colored silk hose. "If you go without petticoats your feet will show all the time, because your skirt slinks in. So learn to toe out. Don't be rfonntoe6V Littlo Gir!'s Frock.

"The Best Ever" is the slogan of the great convention opened in this city today by the Fraternal Order of Ea gles. Tens of thousands of visitors are here from cities and towns in every part of the United States and Canada and the prediction that the attendance would establish a new high record has been fulfilled. By common consent the people of San Francisco have decided to make the convention the occasion for a sev en-day carnival. The business section of the city is gayly decorated with flags and bunting and the emblems of the order. Business will be largely suspended until the screaming Eagles have furled their wings, and flown to their far-away homes. For the present it is mirth and music by day and music and mirth by night. Street pageants, barbecues, balls and other features of entertainment are to follow one another in rapid succession. The festivities are to be entirely Californian in spirit, the pageantry and special events being of the pioneer days of 49, with the vivid description of Bret Harte as the setting. j "Roaring Camp," immortalized by the tfamrma writer has hoAti oetoKllahnjI as one of the big features of the carnival. But it would be a big mistake to Imagine that there is no work to be done during the week. Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York is to retire from the office of grand president and the choice of his successor has started a spirited contest. Frank E. Hering of SOuth Bend, Ind., J. J. Cusack, of San Francisco, and several others are mentioned for the head of the order. Another contest has developed for the office of grand secretary to succeed Conrad H. Mann, who is retiring from the office after a service of many years. Apart from the election of officers and other routine business, the convention will be called upon to deal with several radical measures which if passed will have an important effect upon the future of the order. The first of these new measures will deal with' the matter of age limit and is designed to bring an army of young men Into the order. There is a strong feeling that the age limit should be set at IS years, and there are said to be thousands of youths throughout the United States and Canada who are awaiting the decision of the grand body so that they may be initiated. Another important matter to be considered is the proposal to institute women's auxiliary to the Eagles. Aattled.

Freen Ginger Pudding. - A pudding served in the German household is a frocen ginger pudding. This is made by making a custard of one quart of milk and three well beaten eggs and three tablespoonfuls of sugar. This Is put Into the refrigerator until thoroughly cooled and then one quart of whipped cream flavored with a few drops of vanilla is added, together with one-half pint of preserved ginger and one-half pint of the syrup in which it is preserved. The ginger should be sliced very thin or chopped fine. Tour the whole into a freezer and when about half frozen add three-eighths of a pound of almond macaroons which have been rolled fine and a little candied orange peel. Freeze this until It is firm and creamy. This is very delicious, and some people add a cupful of orange pulp cut into small pieces. Preparing Grapefruit. Take special pains in preparing grape fruit for the breakfast table at this time of the year. To begin with, take care in selecting the fruit, which, to be good, should be heavy, firm and thin skinned. Dark spots' on the surface are said to denote a superior fruit. To make 'it especially tempting serve with clean, finely chopped ice. Tartly fill with the Ice one of the long stemmed grape fruit glasses, or, if you do not possess these glasses, any dainty glass bowl will do. Then place on ibis bed of ice a glass cup. filled with grape fruit pulp. If you choose to serve the grape fruit sweetened, prepare it several hours before serving to give the sugar and fruit time to assimilate. Currant Macaroons. Half a pound of almonds, one and a half ounces of bitter almonds, one pound of sugar, three whites of eggs, two ounces of currants. Blanch the almonds and cut them into small dice. After cutting the bitter almonds sprin kle them with sugar and brown them slightly in 'the oven. Mix sweet and bitter almonds and sugar together, add the currants and the whites of eggs gradually until the whole is sufficiently moistened to drop from the spoon to a baking tin, which must be covered with wafer or white paper (not but tered), touch the surface of each one lightly with a brush previously dipped In cold water and bake In a slow oven until crisp. Fried Chicken a la Maryland Joint a tender chicken & tot fricasee. Wash and wipe perfectly dry. Dip each piece in beaten egg, then roll in salted and peppered cracker dust until It Is thoroughly coated. Set upon ice for an hour. Have plenty of clean dripping or other fat In a deep frying pan and bring slowly to the bubbling point. Lay in the chi-ken carefully and fry on both sides to a fine brown Do not put too many pieces In At a time, or all sides of each will not be done evenly. Fry long enough to make sure the thickest pieces are done all through. Potatoes e la Princess. Take one pound of plainly boiled po tatoes and rub them through a fine sieve; mix well into this puree one and a half tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of grated cheese,- two raw yolks of eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper, and make into little rolls about two and a half inches long and threequarters of an inch in diameter, using a little flour as for rolling paste; put tfeese. ona well, buttered baking tin
