ANIDST CABARETS OF FRENCH CAPITA Gay Lile of Paris Attracts People o Many Countries Paris, Jan. 18.~Turoing away from his hetel with a few hours of idle time at his disposal, the visiter in Paris who seeks the show windews of the life of the capital will, within few blocks, find what he is lookin for in one of the many establish. ments which the French call “dancs ings." The most popular places num-~ ber at least a dozen, They ape small tea and supper rooms. A pompous and uniformed man is on duty et the street door, but the placo itself is like s not tucked away on an upper floor away from the noise of the street, The world passes through these places, but America furnishes the nucleus of the stoek companies and the ence that stage a constantly shifting show. Half the people pres- ent have come to dance, the others to watch and to talk, and to make new friends, Fashion does not parade the streets in Paris. New gowns are not seen on the rue de la Palx as they may be on the “Main Streets” of America. Many of them appear on models at the races, on the stage, and to a less extent in theater audiences but the tourist sees more of the dressmakers and the milliner's work at the tea tables or In night cafes than at all the other “peacock alleys" to which the visitor has access, merican jazz bands, or “masters of syhcopation,” still predominate at the “dancings,” but they are being Frenchified, American music ranks as the best for dancing, but Ameri- cans abreast of the times at home sometimes notice music they first heard several years ago on the other side. When interest begins to lag on the waxed floors entertamers, chie(ly Am- erican, are brought on to stimulate trade, and they and the English near- ly monopolize that part of the show. Professional dancers also are often American, although the ‘profession- al” who dances with the women whose escorts come only to look, and who appear on the waiter's check for ten francs a dance are more often French or of some uncertain nation- ality. Models, actresses and fashion lead- ers show their beautiful clothes at these places, and many a good cus- tomer goes to an expensive dress- maker whose gown attracted atten- tion there and whose wearer, on the dressmaker's payroll, found someone {o introduce her to the wealthy pros- pect, There is a strange contrast of peo- ple in these elaborate dance rooms, where a cup of tea costs a dollar and cake is extra. English is spoken al- most as much as French, with Rus- sian a fair third. Much of the French has a foreign accent, for there is a queer procession of vague nationalities constantly drifting thronqh the pleasure circles of Paris. 1'here are many of these well-dressed nen and women with hard faces, who talk little of themselves, and who géem to have no occupation. Then there is a considerable element of the, frothier part of upper society but the real audifence is composed of ‘the body qf tourists from abroad and the French provinces who have come to see how Paris amuses itself. Dancing seems to be the least con- cern of the' “dancings.” Nevertheless it goes on constantly on the small crowded floor, frequently linoleum- covered, faster in the waltz than Am- cricans like, and slower in the other dances. Dancing in Paris often has been said to be dying out, but so far there has been no reduction in the number of these places with queer names like “My Sister's Garden,” and *“The So Different.”” Real dancing meantime, in the big, old-time ballrooms of the Bal Bullier, Moulin de la Galette and other places linked with the history of the artist quarters, goes on as al- ways, unspoiled by the after-war od- dities -of the "best places.” CITUZENSHP SCHOOL fomen To Receive Instructions Citizens in inois on Duties as at Northwest University.

For over a year he was kept in anxiety, but it seems from these following jetters that he and his daughter are both worry-free now. Mr. Benson wrote to the Dr. J. F. True & Co. of Auburn, Me.: “I have a daughter who has been failing in heaith and losing flesh for about cighteen months.

DY POSSIBLE T RAISE MORE BEEF Larget Proporton of Beel Cows Kept on Ranches — - Washington, Jan, 15, = Altheugh there are actually fewer bheel cattle in the United States at present than there have been in previous years, it is now possible to raise more of each year than when there were more cattle. This somewhat contra- dictory statement is explained by the United States department of agricul- ture which shows that a large pro- portion of heef cows are kept on ranches and farms, and - boef cattle are slaughtered at an earlier age than used to be the practice, In a discussion of the American eattlé Industry during the last 76 years, the year book of the depart- ment for 1921, which has just been published, described the growth and changes of practice in the business, The system of using younger cattle for beef purposes, the yearbook cx- plains, involves the use of more har- vested feed per 100 pounds of heef produced, since a larger proportion of the gains in weight are made in the feed lot than was forinerly the case when steers were carried four or five seasons on grass. While the total number of cattle in the country has decreased in recent years, the article states, the situation 4s not as serious as might appear, since the number of cagtle is greater now than in any year from 1896 to 1017. Consus figures for 1900 and 11920 show there has been an increase lin the percentages of beef” calves, heifers, ‘cows and bulls, and a de- crease in the percentage of steers, especially aged steers. The number of cattle in the country increased 10,- 200,000 from 1914 to 1919, but during the last three years there has been a decrease of 2,000,000 head. However, the greater proportion of cows at present makes it possible to grow more beef, especially if more of the calves, instead of being slaughtered, are fed out as yearlings. Country Cap Respond “That the country can readily re- spond to & quickened demand for heef, was demonstrated during the war when production was so stimu- lated that during 1917 and 1918 com- bined mere thard one billion pounds of beef were exported which was d per cent of our production and 22 per cent of the exports of the world dur- ing the period,” the Yearbook de- clares. “Since about 1905 South Am- erica, and Australia have been the chief sources of surplus beef."” Americans are eating less beef per capita than formerly, it is stapd. The consumption of beef and veal in the United States . decreased from 87 pounds per person in 1907 to 60 pounds in 1916, Between the periods of 1907 to 1910 and 1911 to 1921 there has been a decrease in con- sumption amounting. to approximate- ly 20 per cent. The article includes interesting in- formation to those engaged in the in- dustry, on the variations in demand for different kinds of beef in various cities and in changing seasons. High class hotels, it is noted, want prime, fat and finished beef, while the ave age housewife wants beef involving less waste. In warm weather the principgl demand is for steaks and chops, “While the winter trade de- mands more roasts and boiling meat. The orthodox Jewish trade uses only the forequarters, while Gbentiles, as a rule, prefer hindquarters of beef, Survey Is Made A survey made in 1920 showed that at that time nearly 32 percent of the beef produced was consumed in the North Atlantic. states. The next largest amount, or 24 per cent, was consumed in the east-north cen- tral division. Tn other words, more than 65 per cent of the total con- sumption of beef and veal occurred in the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio river'and Mary- land. The emallest consumption oc- curred in the South Atlantic division. The survey of the heef cattle sit- uation, leads to the conclusion, ac cording to the department experts, that the period of liquidation is.over, and that when industrial conditions and retail prices permit a ngrmal consumption of beef, cattle producers should be prosperous again.

Canada and Newloundland May Gome fo an Agrecment Soon Ottawa, Jan, 15.—~The bleak terri- tory of Labrador, long & o man's land between the DominioW®of Can- ada and the island coleny of New- foundiahd, will become Canadian soil if Newfoundiand receives her price This became known when negotia- tions between the two countries on the subject of Labrador were reopen- ed pere recently, Representatives of Canada and Newfoundiand are busily engaged searching the archives and Studying old maps, preparing to argue the ownership of Labrador before the Privy Counell in London sometime this year, Latest Proposal, The latest proposal, it bhecame known, is that Ganada assume the ewfoundland national debt of 8§50, 00,000, and take titie to Labrador, ‘This suggestion, it was understood, was put forward by Sir Patrick Ma- grath, representing the Oid Colony. Canadian representatives, while ex pressing willingness to pay cash for the territory, set its value at §10,000,. 000, Should an agreement be reach ed the pending litigation before the Privy Council, the final court of ap- peal in the British Empire, would be dropped, Negotiations, Kor 15 years negotiations have been going on between the Canadian ané Newfoundland governments to settle the Labrador boundary difficulty. Newfoundland, maintaining jurisdic- tion over the Labrador coust, has con- tended that its zone of influence runs, well into the interior, taking up a large area that the maps allot to the Provinee of Quebee. The Canadian authofitiey concede to Newfoundland only a narrow strip of the Labrador littoral, which is necessary to the fisheries industry of the island colony. “or more than a century the right of Newfoundland to this shore line has been conceded. Its Allegiance. While the disputc has been going on a large part of Labrador has been in doubt as to w'ether it owes alle- giance to Ottawa or St. John's, N. 17, but as the country affected is inhabit- ed only by aborigines there has becn no protest from the residents. Of late years the Labrador question has assumed added importance because of reported rich discoveries of minerals, timber and waterpowers in the terri- tory. Last fall prospectors reported finding “pay dirt” in the rivers flow- ing into the Atlantic. Charles J. Doherty, who was min- ister of justice in the Borden and Meighen administrations, is acting tor the Canadian government in the La- brador case. SAVED NEWSBOY “flerald” Newsie Has Narrow Escape From Serious Injury When Struck By Automobile. Promptness of ‘G.

Careless Shampooing Spoils the Hair = Soap should be used very rErerully. if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Many soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything eise you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mul- sified in a cup or glass with a little warm water is sufficient to cleanse! the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim- ply moisten the hair with water and rub the Mulsified in. It makes an abundance of rich: creamy lather, which rinses - out easily, removing every particle of dukt, dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silk bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it is very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months, Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. to TryPISO’S Jrai et Prescription Materials and workmanship throughout are the finest obtain- able—Studebaker builds quality cars at quantity prices.
