HOTEL
Makes Success , and Another Will
Be Erected.
Public Likes Idea and New Hostelry
Will Be Largest In World Con
tains 1,000 Bedrooms and Has
Roof Garden.
London. When Sir Joe Lyons , Eng
land's newest knight , opened a big
hotel on The Strand about 18 months
ago and announced that there would be
no tips in the new hostelry , most old
Londoners laughed. They predicted
i that within a year either the servants
j would be accepting tips in the time
> ' honored way or the hotel would be
closed.
Neither has happened. The hotel has
not closed and the no-tipping system
has proven such a success that the di
rectors are going to build the biggest
hotel in England and probably in the
world , where the same system will be
practiced. It will contain 1,000 bedrooms -
] ' rooms , and Its total dimensions will be
'
< over 40,000 cubic feet. It will have a
large roof garden an innovation in
English hotels fine smoking and bil
liard rooms , libraries , and , in fact ,
every modern convenience.
What the exterior of the building is
to look like has not been quite de
cided , but from a hint dropped by Mr.
Salmon It may be assumed that It
will be distinctly Impressive In ap
pearance.
The site intended for the hotel Is the
old world neighborhood which lies be
hind Regent street and Piccadilly cir
cus. It Is within a few seconds' walk
of each , yet a quieter or more easily
gettable spot could hardly be imagined.
A number of very interesting old
buildings will have to be * demolished
to , make room for the hotel , and a
whole block of houses will have to
come down. In one of the streets
which are going , the undertaker who
made Nelsc i's Abouklr coffin had his
shop , and a number of other venerable
old Business places will disappear. The
cost of the site has probably been
high , as a great many leases must have
been bought up.
The rates at the new hotel will be
six shillings a night ( $1.50) .
I asked about the success of the no-
tipping system.
"The system has been a complete
success , " said one of the directors.
"How do the public fall in with the
regulations ? " I asked. "Do they ever
attempt to evade them ? "
"They do occasionally , " he replied.
"But it's only occasionally. As a rule
they fall in with the system at once. "
"And you find the servants just as
ready to oblige as when they had
depend on tips ? "
"Quite , " was the answer.
The servants themselves seem to
consider the system a success from
their point of view , for Mr. Salmon
said they preferred the regular wages
to the uncertain earnings of the wait
er who depends on tips.
Many people here are of the opinion
that such 'places as their hotel are
quickly bringing about the death of the
boarding house keeper. It stands to
reason that if for a price so low one
can get all the high-class hotel comforts -
| forts not many are going to remain in
I the boarding house.

HIS APPETITE WAS AMAZING
Five Chickens , Eight Quarts of Dough
and Fifty Waffles Part of a
Hungry Man's Feast.
Bloomsburg , Pa. The crowning
achievement of the gourmandizing career - "
reer of Hungry Sam Miller occurred
at a chicken and waffle supper at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kniss
of near Strawberry Ridge , even
though he long ago proved to the sat
isfaction of all comers that he is the
original human ostrich.
It was after 50 guests at the Kniss
home had partaken of the bounteous
provisions , with great quantities of
the delicacies remaining , that Hungry
Sam appeared. It was quickly ascer
tained that he was willing to do 'his
best to relieve the housewives of the
trouble of clearing the tables. He
started in with five whole chickens ,
garnished with 50 waffles and two
cans of pickles. Three dozen small
cakes and two large cakes followed.
This little entree served to take the
edge off his keen appetite. Five big
BATHING IN HIS BED
Lazy Persons May Take Advan
tage of Recent Invention.
J Intended Primarily for Use in Sick
ness , It Is Available on All Oc
casions Bag Is Made Out
of Soft Rubber.
Chicago. "Me bawth , Chawles , "
and one does not need to get out of
.bed , if one is so lazily inclined or if
one is ill or a confirmed invalid. Just
take a bath in bed !
There has been invented and intro
duced in Chicago a bed bath in which
one may enjoy a plunge in six or eight
inches of water while in bed. The tub
is made entirely of soft rubber ; it is
six feet long and large enough proportionately
tionately to admit of its use by adults.
It is inflatable and collapsible and the
administration of a bath to Mr. Lazy
Man or"to an invalid requires no more
time than for an ordinary bath.
Deflated , the tub is flat and may be
slipped under a person lying on a bed
by a single attendant Inflated , the tub ,
which is oval , is a sheet of flat rub
ber the bottom hollow walls of rub
ber , ten inches high , which do not
bulge from the pressure of the water ,
even if the tub is filled to its ca-
paclty.
f
The tub Is inflated by means of a
pump and a rubber tube connected
with the walls , in the same manner in
which one would pump up a deflated
bicycle tire. The operation of inflat
ing the tub requires about one minute ,
the water is poured into or conveyed
to the tub by means of a hose and the
bather Is in the enjoyment of his ab
lutions without having left his bed.
He is not disturbed even when the
bath is terminated. The loosening
and lowering of a rubber sleeve , un
til now attached to the top of the tub ,
allows the water to empty into a ves
sel or vessels , care being observed al
ways to have the tub at one side of the
jed. Two cocks at the top of the
tfall of the tub are unscrewed , the air
which has been supporting the walls
of the tub rushes out and the tub de-
* .
flates. This done the bather is dried ,
the tub slipped from beneath him and
the bath is over.
This bed bath is the invention of a
southern physician who designed it pri
marily for use in homes and hospitals
in the treatment of typhoid fever or
other diseases where the full or plunge
bath is indicated. In administering
the full bath in typhoid fever cases
known to physicians as the Brand
treatment , and named in honor of the
man , now dead , who first prescribed It
doctors dislike to remove their pa
tients from the bed to a movable or
stationary bathtub , fearing that the
lifting and carrying necessary under
the circumstances will induce hemor
rhage. It is asserted by physicians
that the rubber bed bath , which does
away with this difficulty , will be hailed
as one of the greatest medical inven
tions of the age.
According to medical statistics , the
death rate from typhoid fever , which
has increased in the United States to
an alarming extent in the last few
years , has been reduced from 50 to 100
per cent , when the Brand treatment
was used , the only objection to the
Brand treatment being the necessity
of lifting the patient from his bed
and back to it. Now that can be dis
pensed with and the lazy man also
may have his Inning.
Photograph One's Thought's
Worcester , Mass. Dr. Max BaS of
Clark college , discussing the discov
ery credited to Japanese scientists en
abling human thoughts to be photo
graphed , said :
"As a method of taking thought pho
tographs , a capital way would be to
expose the film in a vacuum tank , and
have the subjects , whose thought are
to be photographed , placed near the
tank , even with their heads against
it. Developing the film roll , after it
bad been unwound In darkness , with
a pair of subjects thinking on a given
subject while is was being unrolled ,
might show some extremely Interest
ing results.
"It is a matter for close investiga
tion and demands along series of
carefully conducted experiments. "
country pies came as dessert , but still
Sam's capacity had not reached the
limit.
The combined waffle baking brigade
was again called into action , but their
services proved too slow for the great
gourmand , and he seized the eight-
quart bucket brimming full of waf
fle dough and drained it to the bottom.
At this a halt was called , not because
Sam had reached the limit of endur
ance , but because the stock of edibles
had been exhausted.
KILL RABBITS BY WHOLESALE
"Drive" In Oregon Disposes of 10,000
Little Pests Within Few Weeks '
Clubs Are Used.
Portland , Ore. Killing rabbits by
wholesale Is a favorite winter sport
In the Lakeview country in southeast
ern Oregon. No fewer than 10,000
rabbits have been killed off im this
way , it is estimated , within the past
few weeks.
Hundreds of men and boys engage
In the rabbit drive. They form a line
extending across the prairie several
miles , while bunnies are driven in
one general direction until they find
themselves between two lines of
hunters , and the only escape is into a
pen , where they are killed with clubs.
No firearms are used in the hunt.
Were It not for this method of ex
terminating the rabbits , they would
destroy the crops of the farmer in
that district. Coyotes kill large num
bers of rabbits and between the two
enemies the pests are kept down tea
a comparatively small number.
A recently announced project waste
to establish a rabbit cannery near
Lakeview and put the meat of the
slaughtered hares up in tins for sale
chiefly in foreign countries , where
rabbits are highly prized for food.
There is now a tremendous waste of
the meat , only a few of the killed rab
bits finding their way into the Port
land markets and practically all the
remainder are not used at all.
Every winter when the farmers
have plenty of leisure time to kill the
rabbits , they are slaughtered In very
large numbers , and it appears that
the meat and skins could be put to
profitable use. The supply seems In- ,
exhaustible.
PARALYSIS REMEDY IS NEAR
Dr. Simon Flexner Announces Cure
for Infantile Disease Will Soon
Prove to Be Success.
New York. The Rockefeller Insti
tute in this city believes that its
search for a cure for infantile paraly
sis is about to be rewarded. Within
six months , according to Dr. Simon
Flexner , definite announcement of a
specific remedy may be expected.
"We have already discovered how
to prevent the disease , " says Dr.
Flexner , in a statement published
here the other day , "and the achieve
ment of a cure , I may conservatively
say , is not now far distant. We have
been working on this problem for a
long time and we have learned where
the germ resides , how the disease Is
spread , how the germ enters the body , ' ,
the main source of infection and the !
means of combating the disease. \
"The germ is so excessively minute
that the most powerful microscope
fails to reveal it , yet there , are accu
rate methods by which its nature and
presence have been determined. "

quitted.
Counsel and client met a few min
utes later outside the court room.
"Now , Rastus , " said Clearem ,
"you know the court allows the coun
sel very little for defending this kind
of case. I worked hard for you and
got you clear. I'm entitled to much
more pay than I'm getting for my
valuable services , and you should dig
up a good-sized fee. Have you got
any money ? "

Bird Jekyll and Hyde.
The catbird Is our northern mock
ing bird. When love attunes its
voice , it can warble as sweetly as the
nightingale. You must catch it in
one of its melting moods if you would
know the charm of its liquid notes. It
is not at all beautiful no more is the
mocking bird only a gray-brown ,
perky , restless thing , of lesser size
thaii the robin , with the soul of song
in it.
The wonder of the catbird lies , of
course , in this , its dual nature. At
one time it hops about screeching
complaints against the circumambient
air ; at another there throbs out from
its delicate throat the essence of a
divine melody. Philadelphia Press.
