" FEW BLUE MONDAYS " ASSERTS U. . CONSUL " The Poorer You Are the More Frequent You Wash Your Clothes (By United Press) ‘Washington, Feb. 25.-—The poorer you are in Switzerland the oftener | you wash your clothes, says Phflp ; Holland, American consul at Basel, | Switzerland. e This is no reflection on the rich, nor does it mean that the poor are clganer. It’s all a matter of how much clothing you have. If you only have a few garments you wash them oftener. Rich families with a gener- ous reserve don’t have to wash so of- ten. g . “Laundering customs in Switzer-, land, wrote Holland to friends in this country, are much different {rom those prevailing in the United States. Family washing is done, he said, monthly, bi-monthly and sometimes semi-annually. The frequency of the family wash depends on the wealth of the families. i “The poorer families do their washing monthly; the wealthier, two three or six months, depending upon the supply of linen,” wrote Holland. «It is not infrequent thai the supply of linen with which the newly mar- ried couple starts housekeeping lasts twenty, thirty or even forty years. For this reason fashions do not change either for men or women.” With this Ho.land seizes the oppor- tunity to give us a few facts about Swiss styles in ‘‘undies.” “Men’s undershirts are short, at- tenuated to the.hips, while the top shirts are elongated to the knees and still have that peculiar appendage to the bosom to support the drawers. Women wear close-fitting heavy lin- en, extending below the knees. There is little in the personal linen of family to warrant the dealers in mak- ing window displays.” Washer womern are the plutocrats of Swiss workers, according to Hol- land. Here is what a Swiss washer wo- man gets for her work: v . A fifty cent daily wage, five meals a day and one bottle of wine daily. As a ‘rule a six month’s washing takes about five days work. > DIDN'T FEAZE THE PROFESSOR Snake Expert Got Out of Rather Tight Fix In a Somewhat Clever Manner. There 1s a certain professor of nat- ural history who delights in propound- ing catch questions to his class, and one young fellow, who had been caught by one, determined to get even. At the next class, therefore, he said gravely: ! p “Professor, you have made a special study of snakes, have you not?” . “Yes, 'I think 1 am fairly well in- formed as to that branch,” the profes- sor responded. “Then, professor, you can undoubt- edly inform me on a point which, while doubtless simple, puzzles me. May I ask you a question?” The professor began to feel uneasy, but there was nothing to reply but “yes.” “Then, sir, what I desire to know s, where does a snake’s tail begin?” the young fellow asked gravely. The professor was silent for a mo- ment, and a titter began to run over the room, which increased to a’'roar as the professor rpplled calmly: “That is quite simple; it begins at the end of the snake which is not the head.” What’s in a Number? An aero squadron, preparatory to the start for the front, was being initiated again into the mysteries of close-order drill. While most of the men Lknew every nut, bolt and square inch of canvas on the planes, | they were more than hazy ahout the forgotten details of their apprentice- ship days in the army. “Squads right!” bellowed the com- manding oflicer. The majority of the squadron man- aged to get there somehow or other, but No. 3, rear rank, fourth squad, was totally lost. He maneuvered aimlessly about the field for a time, trying to find his place, and finally walked into the arms of the cap- tain. “Here, you. where do you belong? What’s your number?” Fi The buck snapped out of his trance. “No. 284526, 'sir,” he announced.— The Home Sector. P A - T USED to be predicted that the |lace and ribbon boudoir caps and other 'entrance of women into business |.exquisite ‘things that ‘come to iight and inte all sports along with men, | within the home, is to leave out many would wean them away from the |jouely juxuries. But since everything pretty, enticing trifles in apparel that | oop;0p be described, a few accessories they have always loved. 'No predic- tion ever proved' more entirely false. The eternal feminine, witlr wits sharp- ened by experience in the wider world, has not discarded any of her priviliges in dress, but has used a cultivat and discriminating sense of fitness to provide herself .with an undreamed | quettish company, and it may be of of diversity in her clothes. There is not much chance for custom to stale | S her infinite variety in these days. Given a chance she runs the whole | Do scale—negligees, morning frocks, tailor- back” ed things, sports clothes, after- noon gowns, evening dress, with speclal costumes for special pursnits. So far from overlooking lovely ac- cegsories of dress that have no excuse’ for being at all, excep beautiful, women supply thems more bountifully than ever with t. They are trifies that are not ai trifiing, and include the strand: beads, ornamental combs, earr! and other jéwelry, vanity cases, Lags (including beaded oues), fans, slippers, girdles'and a revival of lace stockings, nits and tulle searfs..

In fact I was'getting worse all the time. ' Everything I ate seemed to form, a lump in my stomach and fill me up so-with gas that I would al- most choke. I always had a fairly good appetite but dreaded to eat be- cause I would be in such misery afterward. The gas also caused pains around my heart that were alarming .lat times. My nerves wgfe all to pieces. . “I could hardly sleep at night a}:d in the mornings would get up feeling sluggish and with no energy or am- bition for the days work. My com- plexion was -sallow and unhealthy looking, and in spite of everything I could do I kept on losing weight and going down hill. I took so many medicines I got disgusted with them, for, as I said before, nothing did me any good at all. “One day I saw a piece in the paper by a woman who had troubles almost exactly like mine and she got over it by taking Tanlac, so I decided to try it. The results in-my case also were perfectly splendid. I have im- proved so much my friends now tell me how well I look and ask me 'what| I have been taking. My nerves have quieted down and I sleep soundly and in the morning I feel so much re- household work with cheerful inter- est. What I eat now digests so much “Both Mrs. Dobyns and Miss Vittum R by have been active in the campaign for g:g;e;; dltt(:sea}::a;dsltlzrttetii'rl:xzeeag:w { equel suffrago and have boen amongt think Tanlac is the smost wonderful the leaders in the suffrage movemen in Illinois and thruout the nation.
