RADIUM TREATMENT IS TO JUMPER Invent Appliances By Which Healing Powers May Be Better Distributed.

LONDON, Dec. 27. Appliances for bringing the healing emanations of radium within easy reach of the public are the chief novelties or the medical exhibition at the Royal Horticultural hall, Westminster, S. W. In a velvet curtained sanctuary the "Radiogen Emanatorium," an apparatus intended chiefly for the treatment of gouty or rheumatic patients, was being shown to a continuous stream or medical practitioners. A current of oxygen, passing through a group of cylinders in which a radiaactive Hiihfltfcnre is rnntalnnd. sets free emanations of radium, thereby charging the air of the surrounding chamber. The apparatus shown is on Its way to one of the London hospitals, where it will be set up for use in a small airtight chamber accommodating six persons. The patients inhale the emanations for one or two hours daily. The second radium apparatus, also for sufferers from rheumatism and gout, closely resembles an ordinary glass filter. In the lower compartment is a porcelain chamber containing an insoluble radium salt. When the chambers are filled with pure water, the radium emanations or gases are dissolved in the water, which thet patients drink according to the physicians' prescription. The strength of the radium water thus prepared is claimed to be from ten to twenty times as great as that from the strongest natural springs in Austria. The apparatus may be hired by the patient. A simple test of the purity of milk is j Shown at the stall of Messrs. Davies laboratory is worthy of a place in every private household. Artificial noses and ears are exhibited at one stall. Rubber ears are fixed on with glue and then painted to suit the patient's complexion.

Among the les known writers of the nineteenth century was Samuel Rogers. He kept open bouse and fre quently entertained Dickens. Macaulay, Curly le and other celebrities of the time. Rogers was a notable wit. but unfortunately his thrusts were not always tempered with kindness. Irving in a letter na.vu: "I diued tete-a-tete .with him some time since, and be served up bis friends as he served up his fish with a squeeze of lemon over acb. it was very piquaut, but It set .my teeth on edge." This same caustic flavor of his wit is shown In a story be was fond of telling to the discredit of French valor. An Englishman and a Frenchman bad got Into a wordy squabble, which led to mutual lusults and a challenge. Nothing could save the houor of either of them but a duel. But duels were not fought to kill. Even serious wounds were unpleasant and a mere scratch would ouswer the purpose much better. So that the antagonists might have a better chance of missing one another they repaired to a dark room. All was in readiness. The signal was given. The Englishman, no less eager to preserve his foe than himself, groped to tbe open fireplace. He pointed bis pistol up the chimney and fired. "And. by Jove." Rogers was wont to exclaim, "be brought down tbe Frenchman!" Youth's Companion. ' In Memory Dear.

Have you read tbe story or seen tbe play "The SpendthriftV"' It tells the tale of a husband nged and broken before his time by the extravagance of a spendthrift wife. The woman in the case is pretty and winsome, but frivolous, willful and selUsb. She is not the vampire who deliberately sucks the last drop of blood. Nevertheless., by her lack of serious thought, she takes all she can get from her man and then, like Oliver Twist, holds up her plate for more. She will not understand. The husband strains every ner-s to get money. He warns his wife and tells her they must economize, that he is on the verge of bankruptcy, whereat she sweetly promises to be more careful. She proposes that to save money they take a trip to Europe, where living is cheaper. She has no conception of the value of money. Finally the thoughtless creature, after trying to borrow money of a rich old aunt, accepts a loan from a notorious society rake. She is not bad only foolish. By and by the wife comes to her senses. She bravely accepts poverty and through struggle learns her lesson and comes to appreciate her husband. But the pity of it: She cannot restore that husband's youth and vigor. It was s;t!)t because of her careless wastefulness. Overdrawn? Scarcely. A wife may be foolishly prodigal of her husband' income, whether it be $1,000 or $10,000. She knows he does not want her to think him stingy, and when, taking advantage of his love, she lures him into spending"or herself spends more than his Income she is leading him and herselfinto certain and dire ruin. A close student of modern marriage has declared that seven-tenths of domestic unhappiness is caused, directly or indirectly, by money matters. Extravagance is the one crying social and economic evil of our day. The overweening wish to own expensive things merely . because others have them, the craze for display, tbe silly aspiration for recognition in artificial social circles these are at the bottom of much of the unrest and dissatisfaction of modern married life.

MORAL. DO HOT LEAH

You May Fall Out and Kill Will Be No Christmas Economic BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. People do curious things. The newspapers record many wonders, during the holidays. Among other things, a woman was i killed by losing her balance while lean- j ing from a window to hang a turkey on a tree. Why a woman should, be hanging a turkey on a tree at any time, to say ' nothing of the yultide, when turkeys ; should be in cold storage or nicely j roasted in the paper bag, is one of j those unexplainable things that will j doubtless be made clear at the trum- j pet sound. j Even if she were hanging a turkey j from a tree why should she lean out of a window to do it? Why not take a ladder and hang it j decently and legitimately? The story went on to say that she i was placing the bird in this anomalous i position awaiting a visit from rela- j tives. 1 Whether she may have sought to secrete the turkey from the voracious and importunate appetites of her relatives and save it to the menage for eke Christmas day, or whether from the ravages of her own household, j will always remain buried within her own breast, several feet below the earthy surface. This is a warning, however, to people against leaning out of windows, at least too far, either when "rubbering" or for other occult reasons "such as" hanging turkeys on trees. In a parallel column a tale was related of a judge declaring that a man who only earned three dollars a week should not marry. While this bears absolutely no relation to the case of the woman who hung the turkey on the tree, it still was an epoch making utterance and one of the first signs of sanity in the atitude of the bench toward unholy matrimony. Certainly a man who would, in cold blood and with intent, get married on three dollars a week is fit only for the jail-house or the insanity commission. A great many people pay more than that for Christmas presents for people who don't want 'em. Where would the rent come in? Where the food and the clothing and the thousand and one things necessary to run the most ordinary menage. The trouble is that not too few, but too many people are getting married. The bloom rubs off in a short time days, weeks or months according to the degree of self-delusion either or both parties to the contract are capable of and then it is a scramble with J 3 Stores: Terre Haute Richmond Decatur, III

And romance flies out of the win-; dow when Jack asks Mayme what she means by running up such a bill at ! the meat-shop j Yet if she don't have the best meat j on the market cooked to the last de- j gree of finish every day, he grumbles and growls and flings out of the house possibly to the free lunch counter where repasts are to be found more to his peculiar liking. If there were a law prohibiting mar riage under a certain income figure, i which had been agreed upon by ex- i perts as the minimum amount neces-, sary to run the average household, , the divorce mill would not grind so merrily. For half the divorces, if traced back to their sources, would be found to be due to a lack of capability to understand each other's financial and do-' mestic viewpoint. j After a man gets married his gen- j erosity takes on a different complex-; ion from that it did before. It does j not run to confections, chiffons, bug-1 gy-rides and bouquets from the bios-! som emporiums, but to shoes, stock- j ings, necessary cnapeaus, Duying things in bulk to get the discount, trolley-rides and bags of peppermints bought at the corner grocery. Then he is sure to want what is sometimes termed "the delicacies of the season" without reflecting that grocery-stores aren't philanthropic institutions. He growls and grumbles and nags his wife to the point of desperation because she can't provide a Waldorf-As toria menu on his allowance to her of five dollars a week with which she is to feed and clothe the family. In the meantime race suicide has not diminished to any appreciable extent in their environ and with each new arrival, the mistress of the menage is expected to stretch the same amount over the increasing territory. The degree of elasticity that men require of that portion of their incomes devoted to family expenses, is as amazing as it is out of reason. If a man don't want to spend money on a household why does he get married and produce progeny? And yet there are more women worried into nervous prostration over their inability to make both of the celebrated ends meet than are worrying their husbands into the bankrupt court through their extravagance. As said here once before, the average housewife displays far more executive ability in the management of

Don't they earn their harmless and natural little frivolities a thousand times over with their eternal vigilance in camping on the trail of household economy? Often enough you find the woman lectured for her extravagance and bad temper in the divorce court when, ten to one. there hasn't been any extravagance and if there has been illtemper it is the result of the disheartening fight to hoid up her end of the

As admirable, however, as is this record, conditions that caused its existence are to be deplored. No matter how free of debt, no number of human being can exist, in this day, and live other than cramped and restricted lives, on such an income. The trtuh is, if meals were being awarded for domestic heroism, one of the brightest should be struck for the mistress of such a menage. But medals shouldn't have to be awarded. Pensions shouldn't have to be given. Things shouldn't be, economically, as they are. There should be some division of the economic spoils that would assure ordinary comfort and the continuance of the race under favorable auspices. Ireland, says Andrew Bonar Law, wants "less politics and more industry." The Kansas sage expressed the same thought in more forcible idiom.

Fur is a most popular trimming this winter for every type of costume, from trotting frock to ball gown. The results of its use are admirable if it is handled understandIngly, but on the whole it imposes limitations on a frock, and fashionable or elegant separate furs worn with a costume into which fur does not enter is a more practical proposition. In many cases a rather wide band of some long haired fur borders the skirt bottom of a suit or frock which has no other fur trimmings and this mode is pretty, except in the case of a very STORE Plain materials,

short walking skirt such as ' some young women now affect French makers are showing a liking for such fur bands around back and sides, . with some sort of finish at each side of tbe front, which is left plain. This skirt

There are shown, too, black velvet j suits of simi,ar P with blte fox j furs are immensely 1 nection with sheer or light hued fab ncs. i A very simple, but remarkably chic J model turned out by one of the famous Prtisi bouses fwa eram' h'e satin ln e 80"e8t- mwf. f01 ! ,8 raittV k"1 5 si ightly fulled into the waistband on the neck at the base of the throat heading a deep plaited frill of black tulle and the elbow sleeves bad the band of fur and deep plaiting. Another evening gown of tulle bad its skirt bordered by sable and its softly draped fichu falling low over the arms, also had a fur border. Quaint little peplum bodices of embroidered chiffon or net over plain straight satin skirts make pretty evening frocks of an informal sort, and home of these have odd toucbea of trimming which give them distinction. One such model, is a delicious shade of pink, had its peplum bodice of white chiffon laid over pink chiffon and embroidered all over in sprig design of pink crystal. It was further embroidered around tbe demi-decollete neck and sleeves ln coarse white wool and heavy pink silk. ln one-piece frocks for afternoon wear there are innumerable pretty things both in silk and cloth, though velvet plays a very conspicuous role In this connection. For wear under a fur coat, the velvet frock, unless its bodice is almost entirely of sheer material, is too warm, but it is ideal for wear with the little fur perlerines and, capes and scarfs which tbe Parisians are so fond of.
