BY JONATHAN Smallpox Still Raging. TICONDEROGA, ¥.. . duly 29, —The smallpox still remains the st active enemy of America on the northern frontier. A huge British army is in Canada with weil laid plans for a descent upon these United States this Summer; and to the westward the sachems and warriors of the Six Na- tions may take the warpath any day. But for the present, the smallpox is a deadly enemy in our own camps and is threatening to advance southw: to the homes and settlements of West- ern Massachusetts, Connecticut and Tryon Count i“or months the call from American officers in Canada was for troops and still more troops. But now General Horatio Gates ing that “it would be to the last degree improper to or- der reinforcements to Crown Point or #Ticonderoga, until obliged by the most pressing emergency, as that would only be heaping one hospital upon an- other. Evervthing about this camp is infested with the pestilence: the elothes, the blankets, the air, and the ground they walk upon.’ Troops on their way northward are ordered to halt in Skenesborough. A hospital has been established at Fort George where there are now upward 29, A. RAWSON, JR. of 3,000 sick. All infected persons are sent immediately to this hospital. But in spite of all care and cautlon, the pestilence is continually breaking out in some new place. It threatens not only the army, but also the ship carpenters who are arriving at Skenesborough for work on the navy which must be relied upon to keep Sir Guy Carleton’s British armies from reaching Hudson's River this Summer. General Gates reports that the fleet | already built for this purpose is being equipped with all the industry which | General Benedict Arnold’s activity and good example can inspire. As soon as the ships are fitted out, they are sent to Crown Point where the Sixth Penn- sylvania Battalion {s now posted. Three hundred soldiers from the army will man the vessels, and General Arnold will command the fleet when it is ready for service. Although General Arnold is servinz in the army in this war, he is not un. accustomed to the sea, having sailed frequently from his Connecticut home in the West Indian trade. He stiil suffers much pain from the wound which he sustained at Quebec on De- | cember 31, having never remained in | hospital long enough to permit the | wound to be properly treated. WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARL. Papering the Bathroom. For a long time bathrooms have withstood the siege of celor. But we have found lately that a pure white bathroom isn't always as pleasant as it is shinily and glitteringly clean. Color can be kept just as clean as white, and the bathroom: ‘made a warm place lacking the usual chill and uncomfortable feeling. A wallpaper design of bamboo trees and blue palm leaves makes a good bathroom decoration, and is pleasant to look at. Cheery colorful chintz papers, and gay gingham or chintz curtains add to the attractiveness of the room. Many of these papers will not only wash once, but several times, so long as you don’t get water under the ilazed paper easier to wa nted wall. Often rubberi which will stand the eff ater being spilled on it, can be used to drape | around basins, so as to harmonize with the paper. As for the paper, perhaps you have your own design in mind, or you know of one which vou would prefer were it waterproof. Tn that case you will be glad to' hear that it can be m Any pattern can be made - bathroom use, and given a cleaning surface sec- ond to none. BEAUTY CHATS A Clear Complexion. There are several short cuts to a clear complexion. For instance, there is “a starvation dlet"—to quote a reader’s description—which will clear up pimples and muddiness in a very short time—over night if it isn't a bad case, i 1t coi a slice of dry toast and b or coffee with hot milk (not cream), which was preceded byl one or two glasses of hot water with a little salt in it. At least half an hour should elapse between the water and the breakfast. Luncheon is dry toast— ch, it can be buttered. I mean only that it must be dry and crisp, not thick and soggy with hot butter, for that makes it indigestible—and a large salad of any kind of fruit you want, or mixture of fruit leaves and_as much mayonnaise as you like.

This dre; ing should be made with olive oil. You get quite enough nourishment to work on during the day: if you feel hungry you can always drink water, vou know. Try this for a few days and see what it does for your skin. Tt you have been suffering from con- stipation, this diet should relieve it. A mild laxative might be taken then as well.

Some cling tightly to the old white colored bathroom. They find tile or marble cold, however, and have re- sorted to the use of white glazed paper, and marbelized paper. Some marbelized paper is made in a soft blue veins. One of the prettlest bathroom pa- pers is Tolle de Jouy, which is slightly aged to take off its white background, and it is prepared for bathroom use by being treated with a rubber chem- jical to make it waterproof. The beau- tiful simple scenes on the paper make it a lovely wall covering. ‘Wallpaper with trellis designs, green ivy leaves on a deep cream glazed background, is also suitable. | Often the woodwork can be painted to harmonize with the paper, and even the doors themselves. In this case the lower part of the walls might be tiled in white, and the woodwork painted a deep cream, and lined with green. The doors might be painted a solid green with a cream decoration on the panels. Be your own interior decorator, Know what you want, and buy it. The effect of wallpaper in a bath- room is to give it a feeling of warmth, airiness, and space. The glare of tile and marble is cold; warm up your bathroom, and you'll warm up to it.

One of the most popular sports both for Summer and Winter is flshing. Boys and girls alike indulge in this grand old pastime, time and again, always hopeful of making a real catch —in the form of a nice, julcy comipli- ment. Every one fishes & little, It's only human nature. If you're wearing a brand-new gown of heavenly tur- quolse blue chiffon and you know that it’s making your eyes look bluer than ever before, you can't resist drawing out the boy friend with some remark such as: “I don't think blue is my color, do you?" Even the least consclous swain will snap into action at such a definite fish and will respond with something pleasantly effusive. That's all very weil on special oc- casions—but it's bad stuff for every- day use. Molly would be an extraordinarily faultless person if she didn't have the rather annoying habit of persist- ently asking for honey. She doesn’'t do this just once in a blue moon. It's her favorite topic of conversatlon. “I don't suppose the boys you intro- duced me to the other night liked me a bit. They certainly didn't act that way. Did they say anything about me?" “‘Oh ves,” repliés her chum without much enthusiasm. She's so used to Molly's methods that they've rather begun to bore her. “They like you all right.” “What did they say?” Molly is not a subtle fisher. When she wants in- formation favorable to herself she goes out and gets it with the biggest fishing rod in sight. “1 forget what they said,” irritably from the girl friend. *They just said you were nice, I guess, or something like that.” “They didn't say anything about the way 1 danced, did they? I know I'm a rotten dancer. obody ever pays me compliments about that.” “I don't remember," her friend tells | her again, very shortly indeed. It is irritating ‘to be plied with demands for compliments. Molly doesn’t confine her quiet work to the girls alone. She has the same line of cross-examination for the boys. Only she's even more unsuccessful with that sex. You know how quick our dear lads are, not to become flow- ery and effusive. Well, when they're fairly begged for a few bouquets, they're more loath than ever to wax complimentary. They're more than likely to go to the opposite extreme and hand the little fisher a frank razz. Of course, every girl wants compli- ments. Of course she dresses and dances and looks just as well as pos- ible, in order that people may say nice things about her. But it destroys part of her charm when she’s heard asking for bougets. Compliments shouldn't be asked for —except ever o subtly. They should never be demanded. 1f you want a. lot of pretty speeches don’t beg for them. That robs your companion of any pleasure or delight in making them, (Copyright. 1926.)

Answers to these questions in tomorrow’s Star. of Current on the Rampage. A few years ago an event occurred which will long remain famous in sclence, though now scarcely re- membered by most people. The Humboldt current which sweeps the shores of Western South America shifted out of its normal course. One result was a change in climate. The countries of the coast were normally dry and possessed few trees. The climate changed to a rainy one, and there being no trees to hold the earth in place or take up the excess water, the bare dry lands of Peru were torn by great floods, killing many people. Also the fish on which the famous guano birds of the Peru- vian and Chilean coast chiefly feed followed the current as it took its erratic course. The birds, unable to find food, starved to death by thou- sands, and littered the coast for miles. Now what do you know about that? Answers to Yesterday's Questions. 1.

A hundred years ago physicians | thought they had to be constantly correcting nature and that if they did not do so harm would come to their patients. Now the aim of the physi- cian is to follow nature and to help ber at all times. Fewer drugs are given and more dependence put on nourishing food. | Because some food combination or {even one food has disagreed with old Mrs. Smith, a legend has grown up in the neighborhood that such a food combination will upset everybody. Food superstitions persist. There is not a single food in the whole world which may not be tahoc for some person who has a personal idiosyncrasy for it. But it is well to be sure that the idiosyncrasy is real and not imagined. One doctor tells about an elderly patient of his for whom it was neces- sary to prescribe eggs. This old gen- tleman had been living almost ex- clusively on starches and milk. He had not eaten eggs for 30 years be- cause he helieved they disagreed with him. When his diabetic condition made it nevessary to substitute eggs | for starch he was suré he was going to suffer indigestion. However, he was induced to take the eggs and no ill_effects resulted. Fruits do not cause rheumatism. This trouble is now believed to be the result of some particular infection. Oranges, lemons, grapefruit, apples, pears, peaches are beneficial rather than harmfal in rheumatism. They make the blood alkaline instead of acid and they are helpful to a rheu- matic person. Red meat is no more harmful than white meat. Any person who is al- lowed meat in the diet can eat beef as well as chicken. If meat is not allowed, neither chicken, flsh or meat extracts or broths should be taken. The color has nothing to do with the matter. Veal is just as digestible as chicken or beef. Properly cooked, it is deli- cious and digestible. The French give it to invalids as a delicacy just as we Americans give chicken. Pork does require more effort of the .stomach and weak digestive systems cannot negotiate pork. ¢ Milk and acid fruits are a digest- ible combination’ for the majority of us. Any digestive disturbance that follows this combination could most likely be traced to a large supply of additional other foods. Of course, sour fruit curdles milk, but that is all right. If the milk does not curdle before it is eaten, curdling takes place 9. Lifting device. Openings. ‘ity of India. Rowed, Article of food. Hebrew prophet. Body of water. Human beings. . Own (Scotch).

ABERNETHY. Creative, Original Persons. The individuality of each person is preserved while studying to imitate the manners and expressions of others, and in all persons of any con- siderable degree of original analytical power these imitations appear as original. All those who are possessed of a fair share of individuality origi- nate their own style of saying and do- ing, while the imitator follows a given rule and set pattern. With an excess of the faculty of imitation, one becomes a “copy cat,” stripped of all originality and little expression. A deficiency of this fac- ulty makes one incapable of improve- ment by observation of the manners and habits of others. The sign for physical imitation, or the ability to mimic the voices or gestures of others, is indicated by a full, wide mouth, full lips and round- ing limbs. The most talented, creative and original people disclose the fact that the nose at its lower part about the tip presents an apparance quite different from those possessed by persons in civilized life, who are stupid or com- monplace, or wanting in originality and literary and artistic_ablity. rvrvs, € Remarkable FREE trial offer!
