SIZE AND LONGEVITY
The life insurance companies have
long looked with a certain reverence “pon their tables fixing the relation of weight to height in the human ani- mal,and with hejudice upon any ap- plicant who fails to come within a definite degree of their standard. Ex- haustive investigations have been made recently, the results of which. remarks the St. Louis Globe-Democrat will no doubt modify the rigidity, of their rules in regard to what is techni- cally known as underweight, for these investigations, covering as they do a period of years and many thousands of cases. tend to prove that light weight is not associated with organic disease, is no impediment to long life. These statistics show that the average durations of life in subjects from 10 to 30 or even 40 pounds under stand- ard weight is but a small fraction be- low the normal average.
This important “discovery” is quite
in accord with common observation. How often has one noted the insistent longevity of men and women of phy- sique so frail it would seem the slight- est disturbance of the internal func- tions would carry them off, yet they live on and on while their associates, with broad sho_ulders and deep chests, the so-called strong constitutions, go down, one by one, leaving the suppos- ed weaklings actively pursuing their way.

CHILDHOOD
coNs'r1PAfr1oN _
Baby’s Own Tablets will promptly
cure constipation of childhood. They act as a gentle laxative, regulate the bowels and stomach and are absolute- ly safe. Concerning them Mrs. A. Cromwell, Sandy Cove, N. S., writes: “I can strongly recommend Baby’s Own Tablets to all mothers whose lit- tle ones are suffering from constipa- tion.” The tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a
PERTINENT POINTS
A neat pile of heavy cheesecloth squares in the kitchen drawers will save dish towels from getting stained up during the fruit season. They are cheap and easy to hem.
lf the household possesses a type-
writer which is in use, it should be kept free from dust by careful wip- ing with a soft silk duster and cleaned with an old toothbrush wet in alco- hol, then dried pi! with a soft cloth. The ribbon may be reversed once, and it pays to buy the best quality.
If the piano keys grow yellow, clean
them with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol. This restores them to their -usual color.
When the housekeeper finds that she
has a lot of old‘saucers and plates on hand they may be sent to any of the girls' luncheon clubrooms or leagues and they will be most welcome. as such places are always glad of a way to save expense. Since they are of use to others, the housewife may not feel it extravagant to part with them.
There is a square cloth bag fast-
ened with snap catches designed for steaming clams- so that they may be drained and sent to table right in the bag. The clams are thoroughly washed and scrubbed with a brush and luke- warm water before being put into the bag, so that they are free from sand. The bak may easily be made at home to hold single portions of one dozen each or large enough for the family supply.
CONGEIT OF MAN
Two men sat on the river bank, fish-

The man on the bank watched .him
with languid interest.
The man in the water sank again.
When he came up he gasped: I can’t- swim. -

He was found sitting hunched up in
his oiilce chair yesterday morning, and it was discovered that he had been dead for some time when the visitor tried to arouse him. Only ten days ago his solicitors asked him to make his will, but he refused, say- ing that there would be a million dol- lars for some one before- he died. He was a well educated man, but he did not court friendships, and had but few acquaintances.
USES OF PLUMBAGO
The chief use of plumbago is in
the manufacture of crucibles and furnaces which resist the effects of great variations in temperature. The best crucibles are made from a flake plumbago, which breaks up easily along the cleavage planes. Compact plumbago, finely powdered_ for the purpose, is used for crucibles of in- ferior quality. These have not the same elasticity as the crucibles made from the flake plumbago, and when subjected to great heat, develop fine cracks which prevent their use a sec- ond time. The inferior crucibles are preferred for use at the very high temperature required for steel cast- ing, on account of their lower cost, since under these conditions even the best crucibles cannot be used a sec- ond time.
Another important use for plum-
bago is in the manufacture of black- lead pencils, for .which powdered plumbago, moulded at. the required shape, is used.
Compact plumbago and inferior
flake plumbago are used in the man- ufacture of stove polishes.
Plumbago is used as a facing for
moulds in foundries so that the cast- ings may separate easily. Sometimes the mould itself is constructed of plumbago.
Finally plumbago is of great value
as a lubricant for machinery, espec- ially in cases where the pressure on the bearings is very great and the movement slow.

CHOOSING A SEPARATOR
To get the most out of your milk,
buy a cream separator. These money saving machines are now made in sizes to suit all, from the man with one cow for home dairy supply, to the owner of a large herd.
The separator will produce better
cream and more of it than will any other contrivance for taking out the skim milk, and with less trouble.
The claims of ease for cleaning for
some makes of separators give many people the notion that any machine of this kind is hard to wash, but the fact of the matter is that, although some makes are more easy to clean than others, any machine gives less work in this direction than does a host of shallow setting pans or quite a few deep setting devices.
Any person buying a machine must,
of course, look for the best one, and the most important point is that of clean skimming, but when more than one machine is perfect in this respect other favorable features must be con- sidered before the‘price makes for the final decision. Durability, simpli- city of construction, and ease of oper- ation are important in the order men- tioned, and ii’ simplicity of construc- tion is carried out in the bowl of the machine then easy washing of the moat important pmt follows, yet a china must not be nil-owed to coun- ter balance poor skimming or want of durability, which are the most im- portant items. Coming to the mat- ter of easy running, the question of leverage is encountered and the operator must decide whether it is easier to make the turns with a long handle, which gives a mechanical ad- vantage, or with a short handle which saves back exercise; allowing that the`bowl is equally resistant in each case.

TIGHT SKIRTB AND WAR
It is not long since industry was
complaining of its losses because fashion had decreed that women should wear tight skirts. Now that the tide has turned toward flowing lines. in Germany, where the supply of cotton in particular presents a serious problem, the Government is considering the need of requiring women to abandon the frivolities of the Paris models and to think only of the demands of patriotism.
Being an undisciplined people, we
tamely submitted to the tyranny of tight skirts, found them ridiculous or elegant, according to the wearer, and let the manufacturers of dress goods and their employees suffer the consequence of shrinking sales. A wise paternalistic Government is capable of rising to any emergency. It thoughtless women are inclined to wear wide pleated skirts and in- crease the consumption of cotton goods when cotton is needed for the use of the army, ofllcial action will see that they do otherwise.
If only we were a people that val-
ued efilciency, we might borrow a hint from Germany. It has too little cotton and we have too much. ln- stead of worrying about what is to be done with our surplus cotton, our Government would merely order all women to increase the number and volume of their skirts. As it is, wo- men will do as they please and the Government and the cotton growers must pull through as best they can.
FRIENDS ONCE MORE
It is only recently that M. Churchill
has reinstated _ himself with Mr. Lloyd George. A couple of years ago when Mr. Lloyd George was Chancel- lor, he and Winston Churchill were eo much together that they were designa- ted the "Inseparables." Then came. a rupture which, whatever the trouble, resulted in the‘two ministers being barely on speaking terms. Common views on universal service have
traxller, my son. 1 brought them together again.
LIONEL CAfllDEN”
‘ _ > _ _‘M .
LONDON, October 20.- Under the
heading “Tragedy of Sir* Lionel Car- den," the Pall Mall Gazette, com- menting on the death of the late Bri- tish Minister to Mexico, severely cri- ticizes both President Wilson and the
.Iifitish Government for the I-Iuerta
i cident of 1914, relating how Sir Lionel Carden went to Mexico at the request of Sir Edward Grey, the Sec- retary for Foreign Affairs, and saved hundreds of British and American lives, only to be subsequently brok- en, it declares, because he insisted upon the retention of General Huerta as Provincial President at the Foreign Secretary's dictation.
“This proved to be the rock upon
which he split,” adds the Gazette.
“The intrigues of the Washington Ad-_
ministration were too stron! for himl and he was not supported by his own Govemment, he was compelled to re- turn to England. -
"Like Regulus he had kept his oath.
going out to Mexico much against li is will. Also like the brave Roman who went back to Carthage to face punish- ment. Sir Lionel returned home to find his influence underminded. his re- putation assailed, and his appoint ment forfeited."
The appointment was the post t
Rio Janeiro which never materialis ed for him. "Thus was sacrificed? continues the Gazette, "oue of the most able, active and accomplished public servants. By his own Govern# ment alone did his great abilities seem to have been undervalued."
DRESS YOUR CHARACTER
Dress your character, not your fig-
ure, is the advice of s. famous actress, and rather surprising this advice seems at first hearing. But think it over well and the excellence of the idea will appeal to you. Every wo- man has a certain individuality of her own-a temperament if you will- that makes her a. little or perhaps a good deal different from all other wo- men. It is the individuality, His temperament, that women sir- ..l dress up to, according to the af ~ in order to make the personalit' f . . - marked and convincing.
But an instinctive carrying .~. ~ this advice with no heed . the promptings of reason may result in disaster. For example there is al- ways the woman who weighs 200 pounds, or thereabouts, but whose per- sonality is decidedly kitenish. is she to dress her character or her figure? There is also the very little woman, who ought to belong to the cuddling, appealing class, who yearns to he impressive and stately. If she insists uponwearlng the garments of the gren- adier woman she may spoil her chan- ces of being fascinateingly charming
But bytwecn these two extremes
there is a very happy medium, and in this idea of dressing up to ono's typo there is also a very valuable sugges- tion. The importance of reflecting personal individuality in costume is appreciated by many women who rio- sign their own clothes and hand the designs to tailor, drossmakcr and mil- liner to produce in practical guise. The actress in her part is always dressed in conformity with the char- acter she ia portraying, but her cos- tumes-and there is an important point-are made to suit her figure lines while expressing a special sort of personality. Therefore, ii’ the delightful fiounces of the 1830 period suit your type exactly, but are a bit trying to your too solid figure, adopt the flounces but see t it that the
0 Y
are cut and so arranged that the lines of the silhouett are light.

GERMAN el-urs 1'onPsooED.
CTOCKHOLM, via. London, Octo-
ber 19.- Four German steamers, the Pernambuco, Soederham, Johannes- Russ and Dalaifven, have* been torpe- dded in the Baltic Sea off Dxeloesund to the south of Stockholm, by a Brit- ish submarine. The Pernambuco and Dalaifven were sunk, but the Soeder- llam and Johannes-Russ are still a- float. The crews of all the steamers were saved.
The Soederham, which was loaded
with wood, and the Pernambuco with '.1 cargo of iron ore, were bound for Germany. The destinations of the Johannes-Ru.ss and Dalaifven are not known.
The Pcrnambuco was a vessel of
4,788 tons, the Soederham of 1,499 tons and the Johannes-Russ of 1,741 tons. The Dalaifven is not mentioned in available shipping records.
