The federal government has expended $250,000 in the construction of a model playhouse, and will spend thousands of dollars more in producing plays annually. The playhouse was built to afford amusement to 4,000 inmates of the Government Hospital for the insane, commonly called St. Elizabeth's. The insane is the largest asylum of its sort in the world. Specialists state that one of the greatest aids in curing insanity or of alleviating its sorrows is amusement. All of the large insane saluums of the world have regular diversions for the benefit of their patients. St. Elizabeth's is the only insane ayium that has a theater.

The words "United States Senate" stand out in bold relief about an attractive crest painted or embossed upon every piece. Every knife, fork, spoon or plate bears the words "United States Senate," the four inscription indicating that statesmen have fondled the little instrument at meal time. The average souvenir hunter has little conscience when it comes to carrying away a small article of this kind which belongs to the government. In IT WONT HURT IN time of peace prepare for war."

At the age of 11 years, by the naval system of promotion, the 30 will have resolved themselves automatically into one lieutenant commander, four past assistant surgeons and 25 assistant firemen. Any man with the toothache must acknowledge that a corps of dentists will add to the happiness, not to say the gayety, of the navy. Paternal Uncle Sam gives his sailorman ice cream for dinner three times a week. The hardiest tar cannot enjoy ice cream if an exposed nerve is throbbing in one of his molars. The ship's dentist will keep the creams filled and well stocked to that every man on a plug o' navy. Also, presumably the marine dental surgeons will sharpen the eye teeth and wisdom teeth of naval apprentices, so that they will learn quicker that a ship stonal drives about the adjoining country. All day long the large proportion of the patients stroll about the grounds in care of keepers and in this unpleasant way find their only recreation. Few enjoy he drives, as the asylum busses are limited in capacity and number. A new theater stands in the center of large grounds and is a model in its style of architecture. With a seating capacity of 1,200, it is an ideal show house in every detail. The stage is as large as that of any local playhouse; with a specially-designed set of scenery, commodious dressing rooms and complete electrical appurtenances, it is capable of staging practically any play, with the exception of the mammoth production of the show, the long stand of graded. It was constructed in this manner 'so that dances can be given. A stringed orchestra has been formed, likewise a glee club, so entertainments may be diversed. The regular theatricals will be given in the afternoons and evenings. During the morning hours a moving picture apparatus will afford amusement. From breakfast time until bedtime the doors of the unique house of amusement will be open. some circles as the "Millionaires' Club." It is true that a galaxy of seven-figure and a few eight-figure statesmen remain, but the gaps made in their ranks by the disappearing quintet will not be filled by as many men of as great prosperity among the newcomers. With the passing of Aldrich (Rhode Island), Hale (Maine), Kean (New Jersey), Dupé (New York), and Scott (West Virginia), will disappear the personal leadership, the ultra-conservative spirit, the old-fashioned and close-corporation custom of the Senate. Aldrich and Hale have been senators for 30 years and both declined to be candidates for re-election. For at least 10 years they have been important factors in all the great affairs of the nation dealt with by congress. Kean came in 12 years ago, which is not a long time in the service of senators. Dupé is nearing the end of his career. Kean and New York tidal wave he will have no chance for another. Scott, another two-termer, was the bosom friend of the late Senator Hanna. the souvenir collection of many American homes there soon may be hidden a piece of silverware or china, worth but little intrinsically, but highly prized because it came from the capitol of the United States. Therefore the waiters will have to be on the alert. Not that those who may dine in the senate restaurant are really bad customers, because it helps to gather memories and especially measures that belong to U.S. Sam. Every taxpayer feels that he's paid for the little old thing a thousand times over, anyway. In addition to the supply of new silver the senate restaurant also boasts of the installation of a telautograph, an instrument that writes at long distance. No longer will it be necessary for the waiter to "draw one" down an imitation silver tube. The order will be written in the restaurant room above and at the same time it will be reproduced by the telautograph down where the chef holds it. The telautograph, however, is fastened down. It's not in the danger that beats the new silverware today. port and starboard lights are not lamps in a drug store window. If a man-o-war is sailing in the teeth of the wind the dentist aboard can act as navigator, and if a "mountainous wave" destroys her bridge he can supply a new one easily. If a cruiser gets in the dolrums the passed assistat surgeon can give her nitrous oxide gas and make her laugh. There will be a thousand uses for dentists in the navy. Simple Cause of Panic. An umbrella caused a panic in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Montréal, France, the other night. The beadle found the umbrella had a curiously large knob on the handle—and saw that the knob unscrewed. He opened it, then put the umbrella down with the utmost care, and rushed out of the church, shouting, "Fire, murder, dynamite, a bomb," congregation of umbrellas a wide herd. The police arrived, telephoned for a water cart, put the umbrella carefully into it, and took it to the municipal laboratory. There is was examined. The hollow knob on the handle contained a packet of needles, a bobbin of red silk, and a silver bottle of holy water. British Warships on Scrap Heap More than $60,000,000 of English warships are to rest in Rostov Row. The Spartan is one of the most than 20 years old. The admiralty's idea is to scrap these warships for they are not up to the mark, but yet they show, and so are a draw to making more modern war 4 For the Opera C B T IS at the opera that women may indulge the love for finery (which Mother Nature has made so strong an instinct in them) without let or hindrance. No one is accused of overdressing there, so long as she arrives at good effect. Each one may interject, her own fancy or depart from it if she is not of another age. But the beauties of today do not need to excursion into the past in their adorning. Gowns of today are modeled on lovely lines and colors, and details are beautiful. The best fabrics are so good in color that a gathering of many hues will hardly show one that clashes with the others, many-colored oriental embroideries, each color is the note in a harmony. Green has proven its strength as a means of making a noticeable and elegant costume. Two gowns of this, one in emerald satin and the other a lightening gown were worn on the evening of the production of the opera cage, when all the boxes at the opera were brilliant with gay attire. They were not to be overlooked, such was their strength and distinction. The satin was trimmed with splendid gold embroidery and bore off the laurels for evening, as the handsomest costume. THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION FOR HEALTH AND HYGIENE Recipe for Softening and Whitening the Hands—Cure and Prevention of Headache. A recipe used by a Frenchwoman for softening and whitening her hands is made by boiling two or three floury potatoes in their skin, peeling them, mashing them and making them into a paste with equal parts of rosewater and milk. Apply this preparation at bedtime while fae hands are moist after they have been washed. Many women suffer from headache after a day of busy shopping. To bathe the forehead with a sponge wrung out of water as hot as can be borne will in many cases bring relief. Repeat this as often as the sponge cools. When the head feels tired it is refreshing to dash some cold water on the forehead, then to wipe it off and lie down for a time. Closing the eyes for a few moments at odd times durer than the day has a wonderful beneficial effect and will ward off many a head. ```markdown ``` ] Everyone wears a scarf. Much glitter and much soft and exquisite color mark these lovely accessories. They are in the highest favor and are likely to remain so for some time to come. They are long and are often thrown over the head in the transit to and from the play. Where one chooses to the bespangled one does wonders in the way of brightening the costume. A pretty gown of gold brown velvet with chiffon combined in the waist, a cream net collar and small round gulpe, and with a little gold lace introduced, was a simple affair by comparison with the many gorgeous costumes shown in the gallery but round length (as so many are) and was a smart visiting gown. The brilliant yellow and gold spangled scarf and the lovely lace, with its wide band of gold and mass of smooth puffs, made the ensemble one of the successes of the evening. But perhaps the raven hair and smooth, creamy skin of the wearer, and, more than all, the pair of dark and brilliant eyes she possessed, certainly one was more admired and no one so unconscious of it apparently, than she of the gold scarf.

The newest and prettiest thing in home decorations is the lamp shade of shirred cretonne or flowered silk. For these hea- ture wire frames are purchased, the round shape being the best. The cretonne or all is: then shirred tightly under this frame, and clamped or glued to it. A narrow border of furniture gimp conceals the joining place. This variety of lamp shade becomes really gorgeous. The idea, of course, can be applied in any of these materials to candle shades as well. Pretty Table Decorations Pretty Table Decorations. Smilax is a pretty and effective decoration for the dinner table. It is not expensive, as it can be used three or four times, provided it is completely submerged in cold water, and then gently shaken and dried before use. A Toilet Novelty. A small silver novelty that makes a useful gift for a traveler—especially in summer—is a flat, plain silver case to hold the books of powder paper. The case is double, clasping like a card case, and is made with an inner rim, beneath which the powder book can be shipped. Marked with a monogram on one side and date on the other, such a case makes a useful engagement present; unmarked it is suitable for a prize. Dull and stained ormolu is not dirt fault to clean with water whitening moistened with gin. This whitening paste should be rubbed on with small brush, the bristles of which are hard, so that it is possible to work it into the chased design. When the paste has dried on it should be re moved with a hard brush and a polish secured with a clean leather. The above recipe always gives saf ifafaction. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A Matter of Dictation (Copyright, 1930, by Associated Literary Press.) Cromlin entered his office with a brisker step than usual. His face was flushed and an unaccustomed sparkle made his gray eyes look black. There was determination in every linenement, and a joyous confidence (that spelled considerably more than more) at last, and he felt with supreme gratification that his period of self-restraint was going to net him compound interest on his future happiness. A pile of briefs was stacked up on his desk, but Cromlin pushed them aside and gave his attention to the letters that had arrived in the morning he dismissed them after a hurried perusal of the most important ones. Two or three times he took out his watch waiting anxiously for the hands to get around to nine o'clock. At last, just as the clock on the next corner struck the hour, the office door opened and closed quietly, and Miss Benson entered. "Dear Miss Benson be absent from New next six months, it will necessary to close this that time, and I shall dispense with your present. However, if you need me and nodded a casual good morning." The girl took off her hat and laid it on a table. Then she went to her desk and sat down. There were several envelopes left over from the day previous, to be addressed, and without a word, she pulled up her machine and began the task. Cromilin, twirling his witchcoat and leaving a leaves of a dog-cared reference book on his desk, wheeled suddenly in his revolving chair and studied the profile bent attentively over the typewriter. Now, for the first time, Cromilin noticed that the girl's face had grown noticeably thicker and paler and that her eyes were shadowed by purple rings. "There are only a few letters this morning, Miss Benson," he said, "and I think after that you'd better go home." She shewed him a startled look, and the crimson suffused her cheeks. Something new and constrained in his voice, despite its tenderness. THE STENOGRAPHER LOOKED UP WITH IMPORTANT EYES caused her an unaccountable heart pang. Perhaps he meant to do away with her services and was trying to damlss her as kindly as possible. "I do not feel in the least tired, Mr. Cromlin. And I would rather, rather, be with you." The hurt look in Vera Benson's eyes gave place to one of odd wistfulness, but she made no response. What a little idiot she was to let her feelings get the better of her this way. She controlled herself by an effort. If he should ever suspect her secret, she felt that she would die of mortification. In a moment, she was her old, composed self. She opened her mouth, matched for a penill. Then she looked to see if he was ready with his dictation. But Cromilin sat regarding her in a quizical, abrupt uncertain manner that was disconcerting. Cromilin interrupted her musing with a blunt, characteristic remark. "Dreaming, Miss Benson!" She colored again and covered her confusion with a smile. "I am waiting to take your letters, Mr. Cromilin." "All, right. Take this: "My Dear Miss—no, that will not do. Say, rather, 'My Darling Girl—or better still, 'My Own Darling—' "The stenographer looked up with indignant eyes. "Is it exactly proper and—and fair for me to—" "All matters between us are strictly confidential, Miss Benson. I thought that was understood?" In a second she looked up with her pencil poised, as an indication for him to proceed. She Met HerMatch Judge $ tuneon E. Baldwin, in one of his brilliant pre-speeches in speeches in "The law, properly understood, is just and right. It appears just and right to the average man. If it isn't so, it is soon changed. "Sometimes the law seems unjust for the reason that it isn't comprehended. Take the case of the woman prisoner before Sir Edward Cole. With her hat on, she is arrested with her hat on. The judge said sterly: "A woman may be covered in church, but not when arraigned in a court of justice." "To this the woman replied: "It items singular that I may wear my hat in the presence of God, but not in the presence of man." "And she would appear, in her legal ignorance, to have got the better of the argument until Sir Edward Coke retorted: "It itnt singular at all. Man, with his weak intellect, can not discover secrets known to God, and, thereafter, "I have loved you ever since the first day you came into my life. But until I could in some way be assured that you returned my affection. I hope I am not mistaken, but if I am, tell me the truth at once. If I am not, I want you to marry me and sell for Europe on June the first, devotedly," John Cromlin." Miss Benson took the letter with shaking fingers. But her lips were compressed and told nothing of the hard struggle, to John Cromlin. His eyes were on the ceiling and his mind running ahead for the next letter. "Now, take this," he said, as the girl looked up and signified that the other was finished. "Dear Miss Benson: I am to be absent from New York for the next six months, it will of course be necessary to close this office during that time, and I shall be compelled to dispense with your services for the present, however, if you do not be governmented I will know of another place—a more agreeable one, I hope—which I can secure for you without any trouble. Kindly let me have your reply as soon as possible, so that it can be filed along with other matters. My sincerely, "John Cromilin." Vera Benson went through with the second letter with a feeling of iron determination. It was just as she and apprehended; she was to be discharged from the office, and he was to be sent home, and he would be breaking the news as carefully as he could. Tears sprang to her eyes, but she dashed them away with self-scorn and bit her lips hard to bring the blood back to them. When the two letters had been folded and laid aside, she took up two envelopes, and ran one into the machine, which she addressed to Care Cromlin & West, Attorneys at Law, "New York City." "Mr. West will return from the south soon?" she asked, doing her best to seem matter-of-fact until we come home from Europe. Mrs. Cromlin and myself." "I forgot to give me the address for—for this other letter, Mr. Cromlin," she reminded him, faintly, as he seemed to be waiting for something. "Oh, I did!" he exclaimed, in a tone of assumed surprise. "How careless of me, to be sure. But—but—perhaps you didn't intend to, anyway," she supplied, stiffly, as he seemed to hesitate. For the first time, Cromlin felt something of uneasiness stir in his heart. He could not understand her coldness. He had thought—he had been, in fact, so sure that she cared, and now. He rose abruptly, and then he came home, after all, that there was someone else—that he had been a—a fool. "Vera," he broke out abruptly, stung to speech by his fears, "what is it? Are you—do you care for—for some one?" "Do I care for some one?" she demanded, frigidly. "Yes." "And may I ask what right you have to put such a question, Mr. Cromlin?" I thought I had," he said slowly. "You have been good and generous to me always, and I don't mind admitting that—that I do care for some one," she replied. "Please forgive my curtness. Have you anything else to dictate, Mr. Cromlin?" "No; I am tired of dictating. I want some one to dictate to me for awhile. Are you ready to address that letter?" In silence she took up the other envelope and fed it to the machine. Cromlin went to the back of her chair and stood with one hand, patting on the top round of it. He spoke in a concise, business-like tone. "Miss Vera Benson." A peremptory call on the telephone interrupted his next movement. When he came back, Miss Benson sat with both hands pressed to her scorching face. "Well," he said, "have you decided to accept the other places?" She gave him her eyes for a brief instant; they were moist and dark and luminous. He bent and lifted chin in his hands. "When do you begin your diathesis?" he asked. "At once," she replied, sternly: "go back to your desk and take down my answer to your letter." in investigating truth, the court must see all obstacles put aside. Accordingly, it is fitting that the prisoner's shadow that it casts upon her face," "What is the matter with Aunt Minerva?" asks the managing editor of the Woman's Helpful Hints Magazine, observing that Aunt Minerva, the editor of the answers-to-the anxious department, has just been carried from the office in a dead faint and placed in a closet. "She was opening her mail," replies the assistant editor, "and came upon a query asking for suggestions as to what to do if company should unexpectedly arrive while a woman was cleaning house and had the parlor and bedroom furniture in the back yard, the range dilaminated, the curtains down and the rugs up, a sprained wrist, a sore thumb, and had accidentally dropped her half rat in the bucket. BOIL CITY WATER That Is Advice of New York Sanitary Expert AQUA PURA CAUSES TYPHOID Fuller Believes That Complete Sterilization is Necessary Every Day in Year to Insure Absolute Safety from Disease. Des Moines, Jan. 6.—George W. Fuller, sanitary expert of New York city, engaged by the city at a salary of $160 per day to locate the cause of the typhoid epidemic, reported to the council that in his belief the city water supply is the cause of the sickness, and that any time another outbreak is liable to occur unless proper precautions are adopted by the water company. The council accepted the report of Mr. Fuller. The commissioners declared that they will abide by his findings and act in accordance with the advice of the expert. Following are the recommendations: 1.—Continue to boil the city water until the sterilization process is regularly applied in a satisfactory manner by the water company. At present the epidemic seems to be over, but when the next rains come it is quite likely that the water may become again contaminated. 2.—The chemical sterilization process is recommended as a safe and reliable treatment of the water to destroy objectionable bacteria such as might cause disease and one which produces no injurious results. 3.—It is far cheaper and safer and better to sterilize the water regularly than endeavor to forecast periods of probable pollution and confine the application of the sterilizing chemicals to such intermittent periods. 4. The city council should make it their business to ascertain what steps the water company takes with respect to sterilization and to urge that the process be carefully and continuously applied. It would not be wise to consider the discontinuance of the sterilizing process until the galleries under the river are permanently abandoned. 5. The public will do well to boil the water until the council is satisfied that the water company is satisfactorily sterilizing the water every minute in the day, every day in the week, every week in the month and every month in the year. 6. The records of the water company as to the sterilization process, in my judgment, should be furnished to the council, who should satisfy themselves fully as to their significance. 7. If it doubt prevails in the minds of the council as to the adequacy of the sterilizing treatment as applied by the water company, then the council should engage some experienced young man to test regularly the water from the standpoint of practical water analyses. IN ORGANIZATION CAUCUSES Stated that Standpatt Senators Will Go In, But Standpatters in House May Not. Des Moines, Jan. 6.—Standpatt representatives and senators in the legislature held caucuses last night to determine whether to enter republican caucuses on the organization of the two houses. As to the house caucus on organization, the majority of the standpatters in the conference were opposed to entering it, it is stated, believing that the progressives have a "frame-up" to corral all the big committees and the lion's share of the plums. As to the senate it is stated that the senators are being careful that they have a chance being committed fairly in the power of committee chairmanships and other gifts in the power of the leutenant governor. Hence it is considered certain as a result of the senators' conference, that the standpatters will enter the senate caucus on organization.

To Whom It May Concern: After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Dear Madam Perkins. This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am very well pleased with the treatment Philadelphia, Penn., April 24, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same I went to Philadelphia to have her give me a personal treatment. I never used anything that was so wonderful for the hair, as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes daudrull and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and says that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Dear Mrs. Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is sure change in my hair and scalp. I would be worried or heard of before your treatment would tell the truth they will say the name. I intended to use it as long as I am able to buy it. I wish more of our women knew of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to-me it was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and words ca never express the wonderful results of her treatment. I have tried so many that my hair is now as soft and shiny as it did before. I first treatment proved to me a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. Madam T. D. Perkins, 4630 West Third-fifth Ave., Denver, Colo. Dear Madam: I have been using your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pin it up when I began using it, and one week's time I could see an improvement. I have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good yours has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tome I have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this wonderful treatment and its growing qualities can write or call at my address. 1858 North Clark Street, Chicago, Il. I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines, to let you know how well I like your scalp treatment. I think it is fine. Yes, it is grand. My scalp is clean and my hair is black and full of life, and is growing nicely. I is mish thicker, and I have only been using the treatment six weeks, and I see such a great change in my hair, and scalp, I hope I will be able to say more of your wonderful scalp treatment in my next letter. Yours truly, Mrs. S. A. CASHWELL, Carthage, Ind, Sept. 24, 1910. Dear Madam Perkins: I have been using your scalp treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. When I started to use the treatment my hair was so short I could hardly pinch it up, and I must say I never saw such a change in such a short time, my hair has grown wonderful, and I would not be without your treatment. I intend to use it as long as I am able to send for it. I am well pleased with it. I have had two of my friends send for the treatment, also and they are well pleased with it. I wish you success ever, and may God bless you in your good work. Yours sincerely, PRESIDENT Dear Madam: Please allow me to say that I have been using your treatment since February 7, 1910, and can truthfully say I and others have noticed much improvement in my hair. I am very well pleased with the treatment, and you will find enclosed in this letter money for another six months supply. Thanking you for the same and hoping to receive the goods soon, I am, Very truly yours. Dear Madam: I have tried your scalp treatment and I am perfectly delighted with it. My hair is much thicker and growing and in a very healthy condition. I will be sending for another next month as I never want to be without it. I will send in good time. I can arrange my hair nicely now and it will stay where I put it. Before using your treatment it would not do this. I am indeed proud of my hair. Yours truly, Dear Madam Prekins: I have been very successful using your treatment. My hair has grown much thicker and longer which I am very grateful to you for. I have been using the treatment now five months. I will gladly tell all the great good I have received from Madam Perkins' wonderful scalp treatment for growing hair. I have used the treatment ten months. It is indeed surprising to me and all my friends what a change has been made. The growth and looks of my hair is much improved. I highly recommend to all that are in need of something to make their hair grow, to get in touch with Madam Perkins. You will find it money well spent, for she will do for you just what she says. I would not be without her wonderful treatment. Dear Madam: After using your scalp treatment for six months I think it no more right that I should write you how well pleased I am with your method of treating the hair. Since using your treatment my hair has grown many inches and is nearly free from dandruff. I am indeed very proud of what this treatment has done for my hair, and I am more than pleased to recommend it to others that want to have nice long real hair. Dear Mrs. Perkins.
