ATTACK OF KNITTING NERVES
Many Women Suffering From Trouble
and an Epidemic Feared, Declares
Physical Director.
Now it's "knitting nerves," caused
by concentration of mind and hand
on the needles. Thousands of women
In New York are afllicted, according to
Dr. Louis 11. Welziniller, physical di
rector of the West Side Y. M. C. A.,
who adds that his only patients show
ing symptoms of the new war-time
complaint have been women. Doctor
Welzmll'er says that there is liable to
be an epidemic of "knitting nerves"
unless knitters learn to knit properly,
lie offers the following advice as u
remedy :
"Don't hunch over your knitting ; sit
upright, and when your mind tells you
you have knitted enough, quit. There
are 3G5 day in a year, and you can't
finish a sweater in a day, no matter
how much you love a sildoer or a sail
or." Dr. C. P. Christenson of the Psycho
logical Research society concurred in
the predictions of Doctor Welzmiller.
He attributed the nerve scourge to
the failure of women folk to compre
hend "the vibrations of nerve laws."
He continued:
"The women are overworking them
selves. Knitting has become a craze.
Nerves cannot stand this strain."

workers were operating a rest station

head worker discovered that there
were several plumbers among the Ger

empty tin cans and set the plumber
prisoners to work fashioning drinking

May Soon Call on Women.
Women and children "for the pres
ent" will not be made subject to com
pulsory munition work in Germany.
The reichstag committee on national
service raised objections to a proposed
project to make women and even
youths between fifteen and seventeen
subject to compulsory munition work.
The war oflice then stated that "for the
present" it will not be necessary to call

FRUIT FOR THE TABLE.
If there is any one thing that nppenls
to the eye and thus afford pleasure at
the table, it is a well-nr-
ranged, well-laid, attrac
tively set table. The cen
terpiece is the first thing
that the eye lights upon,
so it shculd be just as at
tractive as possible. The
professional knows that
he must appeal to the
eye in order to sell his
wares. It should b just
as important that the
home cateress have the same methods
of couxing an often jaded appetite.
This does not mean that great expense
is necessary, for the simplest, least ex
pensive arrangement may be beautiful.
A very pretty centerpiece was used
the other day, which almost anyone
could repeat with small cost. An ob
long wicker tray with a pretty feathery
fern In a pot dressed with green paper
was placed in the center of the tray,
around It were arranged bunches of
grapes, a few red apples and an
orange or two for color.
' Fresh fruit, without which breakfast
Is an incomp'ete meal, is nine times out
of ten served In the same manner day
after day.
If bananas are to be served for the
meal, buy them attached to the original
stem, then arrange a background of
green, either of fern or a few leaves or
even crumpled green paper and the
transformation will surprise and de
light the eye, making a tame banana
seem something out of the ordinary.
The old-fashioned epergne Is a treas
ure any woman would covet, for It
lends Itself to so many attractive ar
rangements of fruit, leaves or flowers.
The old-fashioned standard silver cako
basket is another artistic treasure. A
birchbark boat, or hollow log (which
may be bought at a florist's) filled with
golden oranges, with the duller tone ot
a few bananas and a bit of green for
the color setting Is a most charming
centerpiece. The fruit itself served tn
this unusual way takes on a new flavor.
There Is such a wilderness of hns
kets to choose from for table baskets
that almost any color or design may be
found. A heap of white grapes sur

ples, a most commonplace dish of fruit,

The business of the American Ued
Cross is "To aid in the prevention and
alleviation of human suffering In
times of peace and war." It was origi
nally organized to supplement the med
ical services of armies in times of war.
When the American National Red
Cross, by act of the United States con
gress, approved January 5, 1905, was
Incorporated and placed under govern
ment supervision, Its purposes In ad
dition to its duties in times of war
were declared to be : "To continue and
earrjf on a system of national and
International relief In time of peace
and apply the same in mitigating the
sufferings caused by pestilence, fam
ine, fire, floods and other national ca
lamities." This organization has there
fore a great work to do at all times;
for there is always human suffering to
be alleviated, but now that the world ,
Is racked with wife, Its work Is tre
mendous, and It Is doing it In a way
that should make every man, woman
or child who belongs to the Red Cross
proud to be a member. It Is the only
hope of thousands of suffering human
beings and stands between them and
cold, hunger, sickness and despair. It
Is the Instrument by which each one of
us may make himself useful ; our only
means of extending helping hands to
the Innocent victims of the war.
No one can start the new year in a
better way than by joining the Red
Cross and by aiding In the campaign
for new members. In time of war the
Red Cross chapters handle their ac
Coats That Welcome the Cold
10?'
jr v ft
The tonic of the cold is to be thank
ed for much of our progress. North
erners, 'obliged to stand it for months,
get the habit of industry and resource
fulness ; they have learned how to
clothe themselves, tb defy the weather
and even to enjoy It. Inasmuch as
there are not enough furs on the mar
ket to put fur garments In the reach of
everyone, and because the manufac
ture of fur clothing involves much
time and work, which mean expense
the looms have been called upon to
weave substitutes which provid? ns
much warmth es the pelts of animals.
Of course wool Is our great depend
ence In putting up defenses against
the blasts of winter.
The supreme achievements against
the cold are voluminous coats of fur,
or of cloth lined with fur. Next to
these are fur fabrics and cloth woven
to Insure warmth. Coats made of
these and trimmed with big collars
and generous cuffs of fur make their
wearers rejoice in winter and the vigor
that Is Its gift. It lf a tonic only bit
ter to those who do not know how to
keep comfortable, or have not the
means to.
Illustrated above Is a coat for the
heart of winter. It might be devel
oped In many of the flat furs and trim
med with marten, but as pictured It
is made of handsome seal plush. Its
enveloping shawl collar broadens into

tivities through various committees.
They undertake to raise and collect
funds; to manufacture hospital gar
ments and supplies; to take charge of
transportation and supplies; to aid
families of soldiers and sailors and
their widows and children; to train for
and assist in securing self-supporting
positions for those permanently crip
pled or blinded. In any one of these
lines of work women have proved
themselves efficient. The manufacture
of hospital garments and supplies is
left almost wholly to them, while men
handle the matter of raising and col
lecting funds and taking charge of
transportation.
The work In hand just now calls foh
special activity In securing new mem
bers. The business men In any com
munity are the ones to undertake the
planning and carrying out of cam
paigns for Increased membership in
the Red Cross. In cities of consider
able size good work Is often done by
creating a rivalry between men in va
rious lines of business; the grocers un
dertaking to secure a greater number
of members, for Instance, than the dry
goods men or employees of one house
entering Into friendly competition with
those of another house in the same
line of business. An able business man
at the head of a drive for new mem
bers will be able to engineer It in the
most practical and efficient way.
House to house canvassing for new
members is about the most thorough
going method.
j and It has huge marten cuffs that maj
well answer the purpose of a muff.
The wide band of marten about the
botton of the coat adds to Its luxuri
ous looks, more than to Its actual
warmth, serving a good purpose in
both these directions. For one of the
duties of the comfortable midwinter
coat Is to look Its part.
This ample, straight hanging, con
servative design Is to be recommended
for the midwinter coat, whether of fur
or of wool fabric. When the active
northern woman dons a coat of this
kind, she gets Into it and expects to
stay in It for three or four months or
until the siege of winter Is raised.
Such a coat Is suitable for street, mo
tor and other wear, and it Is designed j
on lines of proved merit. Its service
able qualities are expected to outlast ;
several winters, and Its business Is to
be warm and convenient This It ac
complishes along with a style that doea
not point to other days. '

Early Submarines.
The modern submarine is the result
of the slow development of an idea
and the cumulative work of many in
ventors. Successful experiments in
submarine navigation were made con
siderably more than 100 years ago. Iu
1747 the Gentleman's Magazine, a Lon
don periodical, published a picture of
a submarine boat that was being op
erated on the Thames. It was invent
ed by an Englishman named Symous.
Between 1773 and 177G an American
named Bushnell built a submarine boat
which was used In actual warfare, but
with little or no effect. It embodied
some of the features of the modern
submarine. Between 1790 and 1810
Robert Fulton, American inventor of
the steamboat, built several subma
rines which served to demonstrate the
feasibility of underwater navigation,
but he died before completing his ex
periments. Experiments and inven-
i tions continued In several different
countries until the present fighting
machine was developed.
Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through thft Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining: of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing-, and
when It is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re
duced and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many caes of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which Is an Inflamed
