U < e e By MELLIFICIA—November 22. “A decalogue for decorators,” in- cluding five “do’s” and five “don'ts,” | was given to Fine Arts society mem-J bers today by Dr. James Parton Haney, director of art in New York high schools, in his talk on the “Re- lation of Art to Home and Commu- nity Life.” Dr. Haney's father was editor of the first comic newspaper of New York, the Picayune. His uncle, James Parton,‘is a iimous lit- crateur, Here are the “do’s”: . “Solve every question in decoration as a problem in design. ) “The good color scheme is the quiet color scheme. “Comfort should be sought before « elegance. Don't go in for niture unless you have a long purse and a long head. Mission furniture is only good for missionaries. “Taste means good choosing power. Between ornate and plain choose the plain. “Strive for the cheerful note—let your house smile.” The “don’ts” are these: “Don’t maintain a family museum or a family morgue. We amortize bonds; why not retire wedding pres- ents in similar fashion? “Don't patronize fakes in imitation carving, imitation anything else; have the real or nothing. “Don’t try to keep up with the Jones.! A well decorated house out- lives every passing fashion. “Don’t go in for ‘art’ decoration, ‘art’ vases, lamps, etc. These are al- ways things extreme and shout their personality. Gl 1 “Don't despair. Make a beginming | by taking that thing in your home which has worried you most and cast it out today. The more you cast the higher will grow your courage.” ' .

To Maria Dolores Estrada, a young girl from Mexico, belongs the distinction of winning the first wireless operator’s license of the first class ever granted to a woman in this country. At the age of 12 she was a telegrapher in the employ of the Mexican government and for two years served on the official staff of General Carranza. Since last January she has been a resident of Washington, D. C. i A T T e e H H It was long the fashion to jeer at the man who was “finicky” about his food, squeamish as to its cooking and service, objecting to the hand of the cook in his bread, the Yhumb of the waiter in his soup, exhcting as to the spotlessness of his napkin and table- cloth, the specklessness of his plates and cups and spoons. But that very fussiness, within reasonable bounds, of course, and intelligently digected, is an “armor against Fate,” a ‘barrier of steel against a score of serious food diseases and infections, an assur- ance of probably at least five or even ten more years of -lifetime, Alreally there has been a falling off of at least 35, if not 50, per cent in the frequency of dyspepsia, sour stomach and other forms of chronic indigestion, as well as in diarrhoea and- dysenteries, due in part to our enormously improved food supply; with abundance of sugar, fresh meat, green vegetables and fresh .fruit the whole year round. The “discovery” of cheag sugar, with the canning and preserving industries which it made possible, was one of the most impor- tant events in human history, far more epoch-making and beneficent thin any new form of government or philospphy or religion. This lessening of dyspepsia is due in part to increased surgical skill, de- tecting and removing ulcers, smould- | ering, inflamed appendixes, gall stones and other Ethiopians in the abdomi- nal woodpile, which underlie much chronic “stomach trouble.” But more than all to hygienic fussiness, plain everyday “kicking,” raising the roof and refusing to eat whenever the butter is rancid or soft, the bread SOggY, the soup greasy, the vegetables wilted, the milk clabbery, the fish soft and “fishy,” the hen-fruit over- ripe and fragrant, the pie crust tough and rubbery, the cookies sawdusty.

D.| smell good and taste good, and if it| ular, but dangerous, to sell dirt o;' erally somebody’s dirtiness. 'We talk about a thing being “dirt cheap,” but dirt is the most expensive thing in the world—if you eat it. We may have to eat our peck of dirt before we die —of it—but the slower we ecat that dirt the longer it will take to kill us. Befter make the peck last as long as possible, Delays are not half as dangerous as dirt is. Nearly all dirt contains bugs, and bugs “raise hades” with our “lining.” No dirty water or milk or fly-blown food, no typhoid, no diarrhoea, no dysentery, no colic or cholera, either Asiatic or home- grown, and very, very little dyspepsia, sour stemach, biliousness, flatulence or chronic liver troubles, including gall stones and jaundice, which are due to the infection of the gall blad- der by dirty food bugs, usually ty- phoid bacilli. About a third of all dropsies, and the worst to handle, are caused by food infections of, tle liver, the other third being from heart and kidney mischiefs, respec- tively. Lift up your voice and ‘“how!” whenever you see a speck or small suspicion of dirt anywhere in or near your food, and you'll save or indefin- itely postpone many more and louder lamentations by your family and friends at your premature funeral.
