PUT MUCH FAITH IN GARLIC i Belief Among Physicians That It Is Highly Efficient in Tubercu losis. Physicians on this side of the At lantic are experimenting with garlic as a possible cure for the dreaded tu berculosis. A Dublin doctor has been working on the theory for some years past with considerable success and has published a book upon it, and although it is too soon yet to tell of results in this country, it is being tried at the Metropolitan hospital in New York. It is said that there is little tuber culosis in Italy, where garlic chewing i is a national habit, and that in, this country it is the Italian children who have given up chewing garlic who suc cumb to the "great white plague." Garlic contains a chemical substance called allyl sulphide in the percent age of two drops to a teaspoonful of juice, which is much stronger than the amount of the same cherc' al found in onions or shallots. It is tlin drug which, it is claimed, destroys the tubercular bacilli. Garlic juice is said to act quick ly upon tuberculosis' of the throat, which heretofore has been almost im possible to treat, and application of tne juice 10 lupus (.lUDerciiiosis ui me skin) has excellent results unless the disease is of long standing.

"Will you have fried oysters?" asked the man, glancing over the bill of fare. "Yes," answered the little short woman, as she tried in vain to touch her toes to the floor. "And John, I want a hassock." John nodded, and, as he handed his order to the waiter, he said, "And bring a hassock for the lady.

Since the introduc tion of rubber fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns there is a choice of solid colors or gay stripes or at tractive plaids. The entire garment or the sash and tie and cap only may be made of this cloth. It is, of course, impervious to water, and the bathers emerge from the sea with water run ning off from garments which cannot be water-soaked. This rubber tissue is used for caps, ties, and girdles, or sashes, oftener than for the bathing suit, perhaps be cause it is a novelty which is not thoroughly introduced. And also cer tain fabrics, like taffeta silk and mo hair, make suits that shed water readily and hold color creditably. The suit shown in the picture may be made in either of these fabricB and trimmed with cotton or light wool braid (shrunk before it is applied). Like all the garments now fashionable it is cut on simple lines. The'tfaist and skirt are joined under a braid belt, and the dress fastens with snap fastenings like those on a glove. This one-piece suit is worn over silk bloomers-that reach barely to the knee. It is all right for the miss, or Parasols at t A GREAT throng or smartly areBsea people, New Yorkers, English and people from the "outside" world, gath ered to watch the international polo matches, arrayed in clothes that need not fear any comparison. In the games the English literally galloped away with the trophy, and the Ameri cans took their defeat with a good na ture altogether admirable. But if the occupants of the boxes and grand stands might have been matched against any other such concourse, any where, as to the excellence of their appareling, it is sa:!e to say the New Yorkers would have more than bela their own. The field was a cheerful spectacle, with the stands packed with men in light suits and straw hats, making a suitable background for the gay tints worn by the women in their summer finery. The colors were soft, with many white and a considerable num ber of black and white costumes in evidence. Except for turquoise-blue and bright green, nearly all colors were so toned down in shade or so lightened to tint that hardly a trace of the form r liking for the strong or garish ren .ned. There was a liberal display of col ored parasols, and these provided the decided color notes. They were of FASHIUN ADOPTS NEW UULUtt Yellow In Arfy Pale Shade Is Now Dis tinctly Proper for the Trimming of Lingerie. For a long time yellow was hardly counted in with pale pink and pale blue as an appropriate color for all occasions?for use on linegrie and negligee, for the touch of pale color on the lace or chiffon blouse and for the light-colored blouse itself. Now yellow is in all its glory. For not only $?*?- ,. tates of Neptune for anyone else, to dispense with stockings and sandals, but few people care to avail themselves of this privi lege. The feet are more comfortable in light sandals! And stockings make quite an Important element In the good effeVt of the suit. It is an item of style, this dressing of the feet properly. The cap, as the picture shows, is quite an elaborate bit of headwear, quite different from the simple puffed cap of rubber cloth which preceded it. y . But the pretty bit of headwear pic tured is hardly practical for the girl that really swims. And she who dives would be sure to leave u Denma ner when she comes up. It Is all right for those who only paddle about In the water and stroll on the shore. For real water sport the plain rubber cap worn down over the ears and fitting snugly about the bead is the qnly one that will keep the hair dry, or partly dry. , Every year the Importance of teach ing girls to swim looms up larger and larger. And once the little ones form a taste for the water it Is easy for them to learn, because they desire so much to know how.

There were para sols with wide black and white stripes, running around or up and down, and there were those of narrower stripes. There were checks and bars in black And white, and manv of these had narrow borders of ribbon in vivid col ors shirred to the edge. Perhaps the best-liked model is the stripe pictured in the illustration. This style is often shown with a wide black or colored border about th^edge and often with a flowered border of roses against a colored ground. A black and white parasol is the best substitute for the all-black (which seems to be not in high favor just now). In this particular combination, either in stripes or checks, one may add a border of narrow shirred rib ' bon in any of the bright colors, and J change this border to suit. Next to the black and white and the all-white parasols, green has found the greatest number of admirers. Cerise ! may be conceded the third place, and ! after that gold or orange color.

CAVES ARE PUZZLE Holes in Hiljs Near Tokyo Make Archeologists Wonder. Students Divided In Opinion?One Side Says They Were Homes of "Earth Spiders," the Other Calls Them Beggars' Refuge. The low hills around the village of Mawuyama, In the province of Salta ma, Japan, but a few hours' journey from Tokyo, are''honeycombed with /inmAim mwioII nrtvfto ni!77lo f?|fl archeologists. Students are divided into two camps in their conclusions about them. One side avers that they are the ancient habitations of the folk knotfn as tsuchigumo, or "earth-spi ders," who occupied Japan before the coming of the Ainos. The other side believes that they are sepulchers that have at different times been the refuge of beggars .or outlaws. Writes Eloise Roorbach in Tfie Technical World Magazine: "The caves, at'flrst eight, seen back of an isolated group of , cryptomeria trees and over a thatched cottage, look much like a swallow bank. The resemblance is more no ticeable upon nearer approach, for they are set close together in uneven rows and consist of a horizontal pas sageway ending In a roomy excava tion. They are on the south slope of the hills?a warm, sunny exposure for winter weather. If the 'earth-spiders' sat in their doorways, they could have seen their enemies approaching over the plain, while the latter weie still a long distance away. The position of the caves is a strategic one, and adds a point in favor of the habitation the ory. "Though the caves vary in siie, their formation ia the same. .They have a small, molelike entrance five or six feet In depth, which expands In to a chamber about six feet square and five or six feet high, in the case of the large*1 caves. Along either side of the chamber is a ledge seven or eight inches in height and fairly broad, that may have been covered with dried leaves or grass for a bed. Marks of the scraping-tools .that dug the rock out are still to be seen. To enter the larger caveb ohe must stoop most hum bly, but to enter the smaller ones It is necessary to get down on all, fours, or to worm oneself in, serpentine fash Ion. "Doctor Tsubol of the Imperial uni versity of Japan uncovered, during six months of excavating work, over two hundred caves. No doubt many more, and perhaps many important secrets are still buried under the grass and trees of those gently sloping hills.

It Is difficult to estimate their age, but the weapons, Jars and household im plements found In them are generally believed to belong to a race who liv%d there long before the days of' the Ainos. "During the years 1532-55 and 1558 78, fierce Japanse civil wars were waged on the wide plains that are now waving rice fields. The combatants may have taken refuge In the caves at that time. But whether those wild Japanese, in terror of other wild crea tures stronger of limb and sharper of tooth than themselves, burrowed Into the ground In order to find safety from otich dangers, or whether It was their custom thus to bury their dead, they have left a mystery for the scholars."
