At the end of this time the embers were removed and it was found that the roofing was blistered but still intact.” RU-BER-0I0 contains no coal tar, asphaltum oils, wood fibre, paper, or other inflammable substances. It costs much less than either tin, slate or tile.

Paris, April 12.—The Paris press has characterized as ‘undesirable” new styles in men’s clothing that have recently appeared, and which, with the sanction of the Master Tailors’ as- sociation of Paris, threatened to be- | come common. “The new garment is imposed by the new epoch about to open,” s the master tailors. ‘“‘Something easy and graceful, and yet sober and ele- gant as are all things French, but bearing the stamp of the epoch of virility that is coming.” To fill that need the tailors have revived the old frock coat of 1830, tight at the waist with full plaited skirts and wide long s with conspicuous points; over- - be of the same lines. n garment as prescribed by the Parisian tailors, a man appes to he wearing a corset and from a Ais- tance might be confounded with a ballet dancer, yet the tailors say that it was only after mature reflec- tion and conclusive trials that the “commission of styles” found th garment most likely to harmonize with the new epoch. They explained that the costume mjust be com- | pleted by harmonious accessories, one of which is a hat with a broad roll- ing rim and well arched on the side, still further recalling the romantic style of the davs of Alfred de Musset. There is considerable resistance to this new movement on the part of those who contend that when the sol- diers come back they should not find the civilians they left at home cov- ered with ridicule. The master tailors stand their ground, however, and declare that the day is past for the stiff English styles. The women are said to be pleased, the men mostly timid or dis- trustful. Critics of the stvle hav delivered a severe blow by glving prominence to the fact that the ro- mantic style, loug necks, straight well shaped legs, for the frock of 1830 the trousers must be very tight but not yet strapped under the feet. The hair must be worn long and parted on the side, giving a further resemblance of Alfred de Musset. Full beards will come into fashion with this style, it is said, and will be either trimmed to a point, cut square, or frizzed and spread advantageously over the ex- pansive shirt front which the new style provides. Where the beard is not so long as to hide it, the cravat will be worn in the shape of a but- terfiy knot. and will be made of satin The accessories provided for th new style extend even into an ivory- headed cane. HONORS FOR BISHOP. a Offered to Rt. Rev. Merriman C. Harris. Residence in Kore (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, April 24.—Unusual honors were paid to Bishop Merriman C. Har- ris, of Korea, before his departure from Japan for the United States. Tt is understood that the bishop, who is the head of the Amer! Methodist scopal mission in Korea, will retire but friends and admirers have agreed to provide a residence at Kamakura- by-the-sea if he will return to live here permanently. Among the prominent men present at a farewell dinner were Baron Ishii, ‘the minister for foreign affairs, George ‘W. Guthrie, the American ambassa- dor and Viscount Kaneko. Baron Ishii in the name of Emperor Yoshihito conferred upon the bishop the second order of the Sacred Treasure and at the same time eulogized the veteran missionary’s work in Korea. Ambas- sador Guthrie likewise made a speech of appreciation of the bishop’s labors. NEW LICORICE UPPLY. Mongolia Expects to Supplant Turkey In This Field. {Correspondence of The Associated ’ress.) Kalgan, Mongolia, April 24.—Mon- golia will probably supply the majority of the world’s supply of licorice until the end of the European war and the restoration of Turkey’s licorice trade. | Exploring agents are going from Kal- gan into various parts of Mongolia to contract for large quantities of licorice root. Licorice grows in abundance on the Mongolian plains, but heretofore it has not been exported from Mongolia in large quantities because the Turkish product could be sold more cheaply. Much of the licorice is to be shipped to the United States, where the root will be boiled down and the licorice paste prepared. The duty on manu- factured licorice entering the United States is so high that it is cheaper to import the licorice root and reduce the product in America. STEEL OR JAPAN. Arrangements to Be Made For Supply In United States. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Tokio, April 24.—Kojiro Matsukata, president of the Kawasaki Shipbuild- ing company of Kobe, is going to the United States to open negotiations with American steel companies for a regular supply of steel for Japan. Representing all the shipbuilding in- terests of Japan. Mr. Matsukata will al- so visit England to negotiate with the British government for the abolition of the ban on steel shipments and on his way home he will visit TItaly to study the building of submarines. It is hoped to construct Japanese sub- marines entirely at Rome, instead of depending on foreign countries. FRANCE WILL TURN T0 AMERICAN CAR Low Price Will Make Strong Ap-| peal Aiter the War (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Paris, April 12.—"The necessary revolution in the construction of auto- mobiles in France after the war,” says a competent authority on the motor- car business, “will involve an imita- fion of the American moderate priced car. By the time hostilities have | ceased all the requisitioned cars,” he says, “will be ready for either the scrap heap or the bargain counter. All those who motored before the war | and the thousands of soldiers and officers who have learned to drive since, must buy anew if they want serviceable cars. Their purses will be lighter and their living expenses heavier, so they will naturally want to g0 light on luxuries. The popular car will sell atfrom 3,000 to 6,000 franc “The sAmerican constructors have | studied the cost of turning out a car| more closely than the French, who have aimed first rather to perfection and only secondarily at lowest con- tent cost. The Americans, how- ever, seem to have arrived at low costs in many points without affecting the running qualities of their cars or their cars or their' wearing properties. For instance, wheel hubs of French machines are made of bronze, cast, countersunk and turned; they weigh from two to four pounds, and cost from four to seven francs. The same | hub on an American machine is made of brass and is stamped, weighs about a third of a pound and costs one franc twenty-five centimes; it is quite as serviceable as the French hub. “That is only one of the details in which the Americans have worked out the low cost of a good car. The French constructor can, and will be obliged to do the same. Moreover he has learned a 1ot in machine work through the quick improvising he has had to do during the war to readapt his works to the requirements of the national defense. Many interesting discoveries have been made in way and means of decreasing manufactu ing costs and increasing output of ma- chines. Besides, the French manufac- turer will always have a considerable margin in his favor in competing for home trade in the thirty-three per cent. or thereabouts of the selling price absorbed in the case of Ameri- can cars in transportation and duty.” WAR PROFITS TAX BIL! Dutch Manufacturers Forced to Divide Their Velvet. (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) The Hague, Netherlands, April 24.— According to the war profits tax bill that has now reached the Dutch parli- ament, thirty per cent. of all such profits beyond the first $800 will have to be turned over to the state. This means that every Dutchman or Dutch company making war profits of say $2,000 will pay thirty per cent. on $1,200 of this, or $360, into the public treasury and so on. The tax is to be levied as from August 1, 1914 the in- crease in income being reckoned by a comparison with the twelve months preceding that date. Imprisonment penalties are provided for incorrect declarations of income and falsefied balance sheets and books. Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should .drink hot water each morning before breakfast. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really in- capacitated by illness, If we all would practice bathing, what a gratifying would take place, Instead of thou- sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy-cheeked people every where. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system mnearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, clse it ferments and forms ptomaine- like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the firc will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days’ accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether k or well, are advised to drink each morning, before break- fast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmle: means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food ino the stomach. Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleep- less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to any- one, its cleansing, sweetening and inside- change freshening effect upon the system, “0 P sole mio” by Caruso A charming waltz by Kreisler A new Sousa march by Sousa’s Band 10 10 10 16 and 85 others including beautiful instrumental selections lively new dance records charming concert numbers choice popular songs exquisite symphony movements magnificent operatic arias instructive educational records excellent gospel hymns stirring band numbers humorous songs and sketches entertaining children’s records Hear these new Victor Records today at any Victor dealer’s. {1e will gladly give you a music you wish to complete descriptive list and play any hear.
