The huge revolving light which has
been placed at the lighthouse on the
Island of Heligoland, in the North sea,
is perhaps the most powerful flash
light in the world. It is equal to 4tt.
000,000 candlepower, and in calm
weather can be seen for a distance of
JO miles. The tower in which the
light is stationed is 272 feet above the
sea leveL It costs $8,000 a year to
maintain the light.

According to the naval critic, Hector
C. Bywater, so far as building ways
and construction plans are concerned,
there is no reason why Germany could
not have 25 battleships or battle
cruisers under construction at one
time. Though he admits that this fig
ure may be astonishing, he shows that
an examination of the various yards,
governmental and private, in Germany,
justifies the estimate. In fact, he says
that, simultaneously, a program includ
ing light cruisers, destroyers and sub
marines, could be put through, since
there are many German yards which,
although they cannot build capital
ships, are well equipped to produce
the lighter craft. He estimates the
total working force in all these yards
at 100,000 men.
Far off the coast of Maine Is n

Fresh Air and Pure Water
Will Keep the Doctor Away
By DR. R. H. BISHOP, JR.
Commissioner of Health, Cleveland, Ohio.
If everyone would drink as much pure water as they ought and
breathe as much fresh air as they think they do, no one would have to
think about a doctor.
Air is the first necessity of life. It is more important than good
food—it is even more important than water. We can live days without
food, a considerable time without water, but we cannot do without air
more than a few minutes.
Air that is good for breathing purposes should be fresh, cool, have
motion and the proper degree of humidity. Drafts signify danger to
most people. Yet a gentle draft is one of man’s best friends.
Colds do not come from drafts. They are various forms of catarrhal
disease and are caused by germs. Of course too strong a draft will chill
some portion of the body so much as to lower its resistance to these germs,
but as a general rule air currents do more goad than harm.
The proper way to get good ventilation in a house is to have a cross
current of air. To do this you must have an entrance for fresh air and
an open window or door on the opposite side of the room for the used air
to go out by.
When this is not practical, circulation of air can be secured by having
a window open both top and bottom.
Stagnant air is almost as bad as no air at all. If impossible to
obtain this natural motion of air, artificial means should be employed.
Electric fans are good. Hand fans help. American men could well adopt
the custom of the Jap, who goes to his business with a fan in his hand.
In this country there arc 35,000 deaths annually from typhoid
fever—most (if the cases being caused by infected drinking water.
In European cities where for many years especial care has been taken
to provide safe water supplies, the annual death rate from typhoid fever
seldom exceeds 10 per 100,000 people, while often the rates are lower than
5 per 100,000.
The water we drink should be wholesome, absolutely clean, and free
from an excessive amount of minerals.

Belgium's Queen a Worker.
Carmen Sylvia was not the only
queen capable of earning her own liv
ing if necessity drove her to such a
course. The queen of the Belgians
hns taken a medical degree at Leip
zig, and prior to her marriage assisted
her father, Duke Charles Theodore of
Bavaria, In his practice as an oculist.
She is, however, a skilled motor driv
er, and in the days before the war,
used to make a point of doing all the
minor repairs to her cars. Another
versatile sovereign is Queen Maud of
Norway, who paints admirably, trims
liats In a style that would insure her
a good salary from any high-class mil
liner, and is a bookbinder of more
than average skill.—London Chronicle.
Old-Time Parlor Has Gone
Into the Discard; Living
Room Has Taken Its Place.
That we are becoming a pariorless na
tion is one of the interesting develop
ments in modern domestic architec
ture. This disappearance of the par
lor and the evolution of the living
room is typical of the new sociui feel
ing and marks the change from the
conventional and superficial to the
more informal and intimate inter
course of the present day.
This movement, begun in the apart
ment house and developed in the bun
galow, was probably brought about by
the limitations of space, as well as by
the increased cost of building a house.
The praiseworthy desire of simplifying
the house mny have contributed also
to the result. But. whatever the cause,
the fact surely remains that, however
large the house or numerous the
rooms, there seems to be no place for
the parlor.
So the parlor, which was once the
most Important room in the house. Is
now crowded out or else relegated to
a corner of the hall, with two chairs
and a paltn.
The living room Is all that its name
suggests. Comfortably furnished, well
lighted and with no useless ornaments
to be sidestepped or knocked down. It
belongs to the man quite ns much as
to the woman, which is, perhaps, the
finest thing about it.

Questioning His Motives.
“Dubwaite seems to be a public
spirited citizen.”
“Yes?”
“He’s always writing letters to the
editor ol his local paper, criticizing
the city authorities."
“Well, I don’t want to do Dubwaite
an injustice, but I happen to remem
ber that he was an alderman before
the commission form of government
was adopted.”
A Wasted Lesson.
“My friend,” said the reformer to
the youth who was smoking a ciga
rette, “do you realize that you are
courting destruction?”
“Whaddy yer mean?”
“Why, that cigarette.”
“G’wan. There ain’t no gunpowder
around here that I know of, an’ I’m

Making Photograph on a Leaf.
A photograph on a leaf Is an inter
esting curiosity easily made as fol
lows, from the Scientific American:
Fasten a negative with strong con
trasts to a very smooth, thin, hairless
growing leaf—such as the Indian
cress, scarlet runner or nasturtium,
and leave it exposed to strong sun
light%or several hours. Then cut the
leaf from the plant, steep it in boiling
water for half a minute, then immerse
it in warm 80 per cent alcohol. After
a little time the leaf, now white, is im
mersed in a dilute tincture of iodine.
The result is a positive photograph,
often of surprising sharpness.
POULTRY POINTERS
Sudden fright and excitement at
once tells on the egg crop. Never
allow strange dogs about where the
hens are.
Don't relax the care of the chicks.
They will become inactive and dis
eased.
Market the broilers and all the roost
ers that you don’t want to keep for
breeding purposes.
Uniform products command the best
prices. Purebred fowls produce uni
form products.
When selling the eggs to the coun
try merchant or cash buyer, insist that
the transaction be on a quality basis.
After one lot of chickens is fe
moved from the brooder house, clean
thoroughly and spray with a disin
fectant.
Clean up the incubator; use a good
disinfectant; empty the oil and throw
the wick away. Allow the macb'he to
dry thoroughly before closin-j the
door np tight.
Regularity of feeding means much.
Those who feed spasmodically are
likely either to injure the fowls 4>y
overfeeding or not give enough, per
haps both. The birds should have their
feed regularly.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
odors. Do not keep in a musty grain
bin, or In the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors of
kerosene and gasoline.
Marketing must be done at the right
time and in the right manner. This
is very important for it will be the
Anal test of profitable poultry raising.
There should be method in marketing.
Not only should feeding be regular,
but the quantitiy should be ample. It
would be waste of feed to give too
much, but enough should be given and
just enough. Surely this requires
method.
Method has much to do with poul
try raising even where farmers have
small flocks. Just as method is re
sponsible for much in general farm
ing so is it important in raising poul
try.
Mexican Cactus, at Once a
Pest and a Joy, Is One of
Most Curious of All Plants.
Of all the curious plants in the
world’s vast array of vegetation,
there is none around which center so
many different beliefs, so many con

of appreciation as the cactus of Mex
ico, whose names are legion and whose
varieties number into the thousands.
This peculiar plant is at once con
sidered a pest and a joy, for it Is the
hane of the traveler, the eyesore to
the ranchman and the treasure of the
peon, to whom it is a source of liveli
hood, a food and drink.
Mexico is particularly rich in its
range of cactus plants. Owing to its
climatic and soil conditions it has
countless varieties of al! sizes and
shapes and all colors of flowers and
fruits.
The peou is concerned chiefly with
the species qf the cactus or prickly
pear that is edible, and this he culti
vates and harvests in precisely the
same fashion today as his ancient Az

marched his conquering hosts across
Montezuma’s domains and set up the
standard of Spain upon the royal pal
ace to proclaim his conquest.
Not Vindictive
“Doing anything to your car these

his “flivver” a rub-down.
“Jfo,” answered the amateur motor
ist, with a pained look. “My nature
is not vindictive. If it were I certain
ly would try to retaliate for some of
the things my car has done to me.”

“Boss, could yer give a dime to a

"No, I can never love another.” said
the young man in the parlor scene, in
a tone that savored of the undraped
truth.
“Oh, that will be all right,” rejoined

WHY WOMEN
WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkfaam Medi
cine Co,
s
Women who are well often ask "Are
the letters which the Lydia £. Pinkham
Medicine Co. are continually publishing,
genuine?” ‘‘Are they truthful?”
" Why do women write such letters ? ”
In answer we say that never have we
published a fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it. ' .
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has brought
health and happiness into their lives,
once burdened with pain and suffering.
It has relieved women from some of
the worst forms of female ilia, from dis
placements. inflammation, ulceration,
irregularities, nervousness, weakness,
stomach troubles and from the blues.
It is impossible for any woman who
is wen o u nuu
has never suffered
to realize how these
poor, suffering wo
men feel when re
stored to h ealth;
their keen desire to
help other women
who are suffering as
they did.
Why Not?
“Why did you strike this man?”
asked the judge sternly.
“Ee called me a liar, your honor,”
replied the accused.
“Is that true?” said the judge, turn
ing to the man with the mnssed-up
face.
“Sure it's true,” said the accuser. “I
called him a liar, because he is one,
and I can prove it.”
“What have you to say to that?”
asked the judge of the defendant.
“It's got nothing to do with the case,
your honor,” was the unexpected re
ply. “Even If I am a liar I guess I've
got a right to be sensitive about it,
ain’t I?”
