The following testimonial has been Tecelved by me from a grateful reader: Dear Miss Furlong: Being onb of your recent contestants, and through an accident unable to come for the final measurement. I feel, neverthe- less, that I owe you and The Eve- ming World a large debt of gratitude, T-have derived so many benefits in health and ‘ppearance, though I mever aspired to a cash prize, At the time you reduced Mrs, St. James, more than a year ago, [ Weighed 212 pounds and at the time I ‘was weighed in the recent contest 5, I weighed 170.

If ice 1s not obtainable, jan iceless refrigerator, cooled by ®v. poration, can be easily constructed bby following the directions issued by the United States Department of Ag- riculture, Cooling by evaporation is the principle of this home-made storage cooler, This refrigerator consists of a wooden frame covered with Canton flannel, buriap or heavy duck. It js desirable that tho frame be screened, although this is not necessary. Wicks, made of the same material as the covering, resting in a pan of water on top of the cooler, conduct the water over the sides and ends of the pan and allow it to seep down the sides of the box. The evaporation from this Moistened covering causes a lower temperature inside, On dry, hot days a@ temperature of 50 degrees has been known to be obtained in the cooler. ‘This Is the way to build it: Make a screened case 3% feet high with the other dimensions 12 by 15 inches, If a solid top is used, simply place the water pan on this,” Other- wise ft the pan closely into the open- ing of the top frame and support it by I-Inch cleats fastened to the in side of the frame. Place two mov- able whelves in the frame, 12 to 15 inches apart.e Use a biseult pan 12 by 14 inches on the top to hold the Water, and where the refrigerato to be u rs & thing st pan te eateh any Phe pans and case may be painted allowed to dry, and then enameled, A covering white Canton flannel should be made to fit the frame, Have the smooth side out and button the cov- ering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged so that the door may by opened without unfastening these hooks. This can easily be done by putting ons row of hooks on the edge of the door beneath the latch and the other just opposite the opening, with the hem on each side extended far enough to cover the crack at the edge of the door so as to keep out the warm outelde air and retain the cooled air, This dress or covering will bave to be hooked around the top edge also. Two double atrips one-half the width of each side should be sewed on the top of each de covering, and allowed to extend over about two and one-half or three inehes in the pan of water. The bot- tom of the covering should extend iuse the lower pan, avoid them and then bathe the face and neck in cool water and sip some meanwhile, You should aim to build up the vitality generally.

Then he retired with a grin so wide vhat {t led all the rest, and I caught an occasional glimpse of his bare and unsymmetrical legs as he tramped his little beat in front of the tent door, Presently I had another visitor, and snis time it was Major McLean, “Major,” id as soon as | saw brown face, “grant me Take away ‘that hideous | fellow you have put at my door and | give me Ww guard,” “Oh, no," said the major with a smil ndy is just /the man for the place, 'é Sandy McCorkle, whom I have known for a generation, a most honest fellow, and something of a humorist. That 1s why I put him here, 1 thought he might cheer you as well as guard you.” ’ “Possibly the Beotch idea of humor differs from the American," I said, “One's opinion of humor ts like the color of the fea,” he said, “It depends on the atmospher Your atmosphere Just now conduces to serious refiec- tion, or at least {t whould do so, It {es a very grave offense for two of our young officers to be fighting a duel when they ought to be making every preparation to meet the Frenchmen," “I do not see how I could have done wise,” I said t your first duel?’ he asked. 1 replied. “Were you not afraid?” be asked, ARMY NAVY RECRUITING STATION A Soldier of Manhattan anne HAVE ‘You ENLISTED 2 s in Which an American Helps the King’s Men to Take Canada “1 am @ soldier,” 1 replied proudiy.the hills. The generals and the colonels “I have known some soldiers who were very much afraid,” he said. To this I had no reply to make. “You have had teaching and prac- tce with the sword?” he said inter- rogatively. answered in the affirmative, hough I did not see the drift of his questions. “You handled your weapon well,” he went on meditatively, “That was a peoullar twist you gave to your wrist when you disarmed Lieut. Spencer. I had not seen its like before, Where did you learn {t?” “it a taught to me by a French- man,” . ‘hen I wish you would teach It to me,” he sald with a sudden display of enthusiasm, “It was prettily done, my boy. For a time when | saw his fierce attack I thought be had you, but when you sent his weapon whir- ling it was like a turn in a play.” “Why, did you see what had hap. pened before that?” I asked in sur- prise, “See it? .Of a certainty, of a cer- tainty!” he sald. “I could not miss so fine a sight. On my word, you did well for a youngster. | thought once I would have to interfere and make the arrests too soon. It is a pity to mar good sport. But that turn of your wrist decided it, and relieved me of the necessity for premature action, It was prettily done, | repeat, and I bave come around to wish you @ very good morning.” Then without another word he d parted, leaving me very much sur- prised, and, in truth, very much Pleased also. This pleasure waa in- creased an hour or two later when Culverhouse sauntered unconcernedly into the tent. “What does this mean?” I asked guviouny, “What a fine air you have! Have you been appointed com- mander tn chief in place of the earl?" “I suppose I could get the position if I wanted it,” returned Curverhouse, “but I aia not an aspirant for tt. I thought I would tel! you that you would not be hange or drewp or quartered for fighting that duel, In some accidental way, for I cannot ascribe It to your merit or your man- ners, you have made a great friend of that old fire-eater, Major McLean, and he is shouting your praises about the camp. Besides, we are a0 busy with the preparations against tho French that our seniors haven't time to bother about the delinquencies of subalterns. So if you will make @ great effort to be discreet, and to talk very little, they will probably forget all about you before night.” 1 found that Culverh: use was @ true prophet of good. Late In the after- noon the brusque but friendly major came to the tent and told me to go about my business, which 1 was very happy to do. My good luck in disarming my an- tagonist gave me quite a reputation ‘ong my countrymen, which | some- $ found a trifle inconvenient, for nero of ve were in @ great state of bustle, An army, like a woman, must make much fuss and preparation before starting on a jour- ney, and the whole camp was in a tumult from early morning until long afer the 6un had slid out of sight over , ! For some days Were engrossed in consultations, the captains and the lieutenants were ewearing at the sergeants and tho corporals, the sergeants and the cor porals were swearing at the privates the privates were swearing at tho horses and the oxen, which, being un- able to swear, had perforce to take it in_silence. In the course of these activities I saw something of Spencer and Graham. I did not seek them, but In the close quarters of the camp it was Not possible to avoid them. Spencer was stiff, but not discourteous. Graham was inclined to be more open, Ho seemed even to seok my friend- ship, complimenting me upon my suc- cess In the duel, and asking many questions about the colonies in a tone leas patronizing than he had assumed at first. Culverhouse told me that de- @pite his faults he was a good soldier, and such J found his reputation to be in the camp. We were doomed to alternations of hope and disappointment. The days passed and we were still camped in the city. All our bustle and our toll seemed to come to naught, The army was like a wagon mired deep tn tho mud. We could not budge It. The fault was with the driver, Culver- house said. | knew that he meant Loudoun, and I knew also that what he said was true. Ail this time tales 0! the blody atrocities committed by the enemy on the frontier were com- ing to us, and it seemed that no real effort would ever be made to stop them. ‘The de St. Maurs stayed on, for Loudoun was as lax in the matter of the prisoners as in other matters, and could not be induced to act. | had’ some opportunities for seeing mademoiselle, and found her superior in mind as appearance, In truth, Marion would twit me about her a most every time we met, but I soon ceased to mind ber banter, which I think had a little bit of spite in it, to the old truth that a pretty likes to keep all the men sh¢ knows at her feet. Loudon went on his luxurious way. The report that Montcalm was ad yancing on Albany proved to false, and we were saved that dis grace, at least. But it was wholly true that Webb had abandoned tl defense of the border, In fact, he came down to New York and joined Loudon in his dissipations and de Daucheries, very alr heard tales of atrocitie frontier, how entire famil been destroyed by the Indians, but Loudoun and Webb and the ar stayed on in New York.
