Arttclss Salvaged From Sunksn Ships
Found to ba Practically Unharmed
by Action of Water.
Captain Reginald llumphreya of the
Itrltlali navy In speaking of the action
of the eva 01* veaaela and merchandise
•ajra:
"Wooden ships, after being sunk,
are rapidly covered with a marine
growth which forms a sort of lime
<1<h*ihI( and preserve* the wood In some
oases for several >vnfuries We are
informed by one of the underwriters,
of New York who had charge of the
salvage operation on the Oregon that
bicycles wetvtbroughl wp from her hold
(hat had been In the water over four
months and yet looked as brlcht a«
when they went down; also silks the
outer folds of which only were In
Jured."
Some wines that had boon recov-
ered from a vessel sunk about flfty
yv>ara brought $TT> a bottle at auction.
Oold and some other metals, glass aud
precious alone* are never affected.
A new avenue of wealth Is opened
to the world by means of the salvaging
submarine.
Neutralized Poison Gas.
•"Neutralising ointment" Is one of
Che latest vrar Inventions, tt Is pub-
licly revealed tn an otlMal description
of the protective device* against gas
attacks. Issued to our troops. The

-alloO gas Is a liquid and because of
Ita blistering effect the soldiers have
etvew It the name of "mustard gav"

arherv the flesh is reached. The newly
Invented ointment must apparently be :
rubbed all over the body, as well as on

Why Shabby Vlaltor Failed to lm.
press Merchant With His Offer
to Improve the Memory.
The shabby visitor laid his hat upon j
a chair, and, drawing a booklet from .
his pocket, approached the merchant j
prince.
"I can tell you," he said, "how to ;
become a great success; how to win j
Independence for life."
•Three seconds gone from the min-
ute I'm giving you," said the tuer-1
chant.
"I have here," went on the thinker. I
"nn Infallible memory system. Mas-
ter It, and yon will master the world.
You will not forget to post the letter
your wife gave you this morning, and
you can do without that worsted on
your linger."
"My trouble." said the merchant, "is
that t can't (bid a reliable system for
forgetting things I want to. Your mi. -
ute's up."
Sadly the visitor departed, but two
minutes later he returned to the office
breathlessly and excited.
"1 forgot my hat!" he said.

Looking orer the newest things In
bathing suits one might easily con-
clude that fair bathers object to get-
ting wet and only go luto the water to
get cool, or to be "In the swim" with
their sister bathers. What they really
object to (unless they jnissess Venus
de Medici figures) Is the way In which
bathing togs cling and stick and the
somewhat bedraggled appearance they
are likely to make when they come
out of the water. Nothing escapes the
notice of the keen manufacturers of
bathing togs and they have met this
; situation with suits on the order of
that one shown in the picture.
! Rubberised silk iu rose color is used
to make the shapely and modest over-
dress In this suit and it Is trimmed
with black and white checkerboard
bands that give It a lot of snap. The
! long-waisted l>cdy l« gathered Into a
' wide flat band with the fullness
; brought to the sides and the -kirt Is
! managed In the same way. so that even
bathing suits take note of the wider
hips that are Indicated In styles for
fail.
The knickers for this suit are made
of black satin and a vestee of the
same material in the overdress bears
them company. Black silk st 'cklngi
and black sateen slippers take "are of
the feet in an effective but Inconspicu-
ous fashion, while a gay little f >ar-cor-
nered cap of rose colored rubber cloth
puts a pretty finishing touch to the
outfit. As no one aspires to a deep
coat of tan this year, a black and
white striped parasol lends its aid to
face creams to keep the face and neck
from too much sunburn.
Rubberized silks in brilliant colors
have been used in much more elabor-
ate beach clothes than this very sen-
sible suit, aud eveu for those who pre-
fer silk or wool In their swimming
clothes, mantles and capes of rubber-
lied silk prove sightly for wear on the
beach and for the walk to and from it.

Haatm Saw Reason for Thankfulness
In View Sot Forth by Her
Young Visitor.
Out on the east side the other aft-
ernoon a group of women were having
a porch pnrty. Now. nil except one
were married, and the married ones
constantly talked to the one young
spinster on the subject of getting mar-
ried. They even went so far lis to
suggest some candidates for her hand.
And of one the young woman said. "Oh.
he wouldn't do. He's been married,
and I've not yet reached that stage
where I have to take a widower."
Absolute silence followed that re-
mark. With a wild start the girl real-
ized that three of the women present,
including the hostess, were second
wives. She was Just beginning to reach
the most painful stage of embarrass-
ment. when the hostess laughed easily,
and tried to utter a remark that would
put everybody at ease. "Thank good-
ness you haven't." she said. "Other-
wise you uilght be In my shoes und I

Pile Fabrics Populsr
The prophecy that, when the price
of a pile fabric clashes with that of a
fair quality fur. the latter Is preferred,
does uot seem to be borne out in the
operations of the cloak manufacturers
for fall. Pile fabrics in the most ex-
pensive makes are proving so popular
with the buyers that it is estimated
the supply Is going to fall far short of
the demand. The pile fabric makers
believe that the most important rea-
son for this successful competition of
their product with fur is thst the
imitation has reached a stage where
it is difficult to tell the difference be-
tween it and the real thing. Another
reason ascribed Is the better wearing
quality of the artificial fur.

■uffered severely from
kidney trouble. My
hands swelled until
they became very sore
and when I touched
them it left an Im-
print. My a n k le s
swelled so badly that
sometimes I couldn't
put my shoes on. I
also had terrible pains
through the small of
my back that felt as
if something was cut-
ting me. I used two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and I
felt like a different person."
