Waidberg’s Simple Life Colony

pi Zurich, Switzerland.—ln one small
section of Switzerland the residents
go through heat wave, snow storm and
northern blast with impartial calm
ness. The name of the colony is the
“Lienbluftheim" (light and air home)
and it is located on the Waidberg,
overlooking the town of Zurich.
While in the town 1 heard reports
of the thoroughness of the methods
by which the residents in the Waid
berg institution get right back to na
ture, so I decided to make arrange
ments for a closer study.
To my surprise I found the people
of Zurich, though they have their
prude societies, regarded the Waid
bergers merely as local curiosities.
They showed no desire for the im
position of restrictions. On telephon
ing to the head of the colony, Herr
J. P. Muller, formerly an officer in the
Danish army, I received a cordial in
vitation to go up and see for myself.
Herr Muller is a splendidly built
man about 6 feet tall, showing the
muscles of a boxer rather than a
wrestler, tanned a dark brown from
head to foot. He has an intelligent
face and laughing eyes. Carl Block,
the famous painter, described him as
“physically tine most perfect man 1
have ever seen," and I agreed with the
description as I watched my compan
ion striding along beside me.

THE HOBBLE SKIRT’S ORIGIN
This Freak Fashion May Have Been
Started by Horace Greeley's
Old Umbrella.
New York. —There is every reason
to believe that the hobble skirt craze
is not an importation from France,
but was started in this country many
years ago, in an indirect way, by Hor
ace Greeley.
It all began with Mr. Greeley's fa
mous old green umbrella, for anyone
can see by the accompanying illus
tration what a striking similarity
there is between it and the fashion
able hobble skirted woman of today.
Here In America there is very lit
tle said against the fad, except that
the men of New' York have risen as
a body, demanding that no hobble
skirts be worn in the vicinity of the
Flatiron building.
How is the hobble skirt going to
affect the great question of the hour
—woman suffrage? The movement
How It Happened.
means a complete “tie-up" for suffra
gettes. There is no doubt that the
fad will meet with strong approval In
this class; for what suffragette does
not yearn for shackles? Here Is a
chance for one and all to appear in
the limelight with their feet tightly
bound at the small cost of just a few
cents for a good, strong, but short
piece of ribbon. Then the rush will
be over, and that is how the great
blow will fall.
The speed of suffragette parades
will be cut down to such a low rate
that all public officials will have am
ple time to make a very comfortable
getaway from the rear entrance and
escape to some soda fountain long be
fore the head of the column has reach
ed the front door.
Taking it all in all, it looks like a
clear case of cut fashion or cut poli
tics, and we depend on the ladles not
to cut fashion every ilme.
This is an age when we are all,
stepping along In the grand march of
advancement, and the only chance
that, the hobble-skirted woman has to
keep up with ihe procession Is that
the band will strike up a glide waltz
Instead of a march.
WINS AT THE BEAUTY SHOW
Mis i Kitty Darling of Plymouth, Eng
land, Defeats Former Queen in
Prize Competition.
Folkestone, Eng.—Here is the in
ternational beauty queen of Europe.
She has “been voted that honor at the
international beauty competition at
Folkstone. Moreover, she defeated
Miss Mamie Whittaker of London,
the beauty queen of England, in the
prize competition.
The international beauty queen is
Miss Kitty Darling of Devonshire, Eng
land, and she is just 17. She had never
ft/ ** '
before presented her claims for the dis
tinction conferred upon her, but,
with her winsome, roguish Devon
beauty, she quickly secured an over
whelming vote.
Miss Whittaker, the former beauty
queen of England, who, of course, also
loses that title since Miss Darling's
victory, was given second honors.
Third honors in the international con
test went to Mile. Simone de Beryl
of Paris.

“Yes. Came yesterday.”

“Oh, I don’t know —probably for

“I feel sorry for your wife. I be

“She used to, but she has changed

An American student at a German i

was reading aloud in a classroom pa- I

novelist, which had been written by j
the members of the class. After read- |

cellence. “You show an exact com
prehension. of the matter,” he said,
addressing the student who had writ
ten the paper; "tell us what method
you used.” “Oh,” replied the student,
"I Just wrote to X , stating what I .
wanted to know, and that was what

SAID BY THE YOUNGSTERS
Some Bright Remarks Worth Pre
serving, That Have Fallen From
Childish Lips.
A little girl, after listening to the
hymn, “In heaven there stands an
ever open door,” remarked that there
must be two heavens, “ ’cause grand
rna'd never had any open door where
she Is.” And a dear little country
laddie, visiting a city Sunday school
and hearing about the “many man
sions” of the better land, later ex
plained that they had been "studying
all about ‘Paradise Flats.’ ”
Ecclesiastical modes and matters
frequently are puzzling to the little
ones. A small Chicago citizen was ta
ken to a fine church, where the music,
windows, furnishings, and all acces
sories were as impressive as the build
ing. The minister, living up to his
enviable reputation as an orator, in-,
dulged in a brilliant rhetorical flight.
“I know,” he declared, “who gilds
the sun and silvers the stars and
t paints the flowers and tints the sky
: and lends to the rivers their beauty,
I to the ocean its glory, to the skies
their perfect light,” and so on through
I long and effective periods. Finally
| came the interrogatory climax: “Who
!is it, my friends, who performs all
these wonders? Who is it? Who?”
Front the front pew where the baby
! listener had been all eager attention
came a shrill, disappointed pipe:
“You said you knew!”

THE MALARIA MONSTER
If the mosquito were as big as it is bad, it would darken
tbe air like a gigantic death-breathing dragon. Each sting
of a mosquito sows the germs of malaria. These germs
multiply with wonderful rapidity. Then come chills and
fever with other forms of malaria that undermine the health
and sap the strength.
OXIDINE
—a bottle proves.
It is the modem malaria medicine and the one sure
antidote for malaria poisoning. It kills the chills. It
quenches the fever fires. It stamps out the cause and
consequences of the disease. That’s only the beginning of
helpful healing work of OXIDINE. It builds up the body,
revitalizes the system, enriches the blood, tones up the
stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. OXIDINE puts the
body on a fighting footing of superb health.
The tonic qualities of OXIDINE make it the best
medicine for all weak, run down, thin, pale persons. It is
the best body-building tonic money can buy.
