PAGE FOUR KASHMIR MOUNTAIN i | GARDEN OF INDIA i J; T One of Most Richly Enjdowed of Beauty Spots. i Washlngton.-^-News of the tleath of 1 the maharajah of Kashmir jqpcently c directs attention to one of th^ wealth- c lest thrones In India. The country famous as the "land of nlghtlhgales and i roses-' is said to bring an income to \ its ruler in excess of $5,0(XI,000 yearly, j "Kashmir's real weidth, however, i ' a cannot be measured in terms of .money," says a bulletin frpm the Washington headquarters of the Na- ' tlonal (Jeographic society. ' "Anyone * making a list of the ten most richly J endowed of nature's beauty spots i I would have to Include, In a represents- _ tive list, this vale set amidst the tow- , . ering Himalayas. One traveler asserts | 'it Is impossible to know what color I and depth, and proportion are until one has visited this "Happy Vqlley" in the Himalayas.' Complete Circle or mountain*. '"The state of Kashmir in India * spreads over an area equal t;o that of | Minnesota, but it is usually the so; called 'Happy Valley' that Is assoeint- ' ed with the name of Kashmir. Not on the slopes of the Himalayas, hut | set down deep anions theih. Is the vale that has Inspired so ouatiy writers of poetry, prase and music, and which, 1 In former years, gave to the world one jof tiie most beautiful and delicate of ' all fabrics made by homan hands?the ' Kashmir (or cashmere) shawl. "The Vale of Kashmir, a wide. level j plain 84 miles long and DO to miles wide, has been compared to. a transplanted. peaceful Thames valley, with j a girdle of high, I snowcapped tnoun-j{ tains. Its charming coinhinntions of j | lake and mountajn scenery, wooden . chalets and winding roads, are much t like those of Switzerland, except that j there is always a white horizon, a j complete circle of snowy peaks. On , a clear day the mountains glisten In \ ( the sunshine like 'the battlements and towers of some fairy city Of purest ] marble.' J i ."These mountains, the loftiest in | the world, have helped to make Kash- j nllr the primitive beauty spot ^t is' today. They are i Kashmir's strongest battlements against the# encroachments " .if.? ...ni..k of the white man s civilization?win has so greatly altered fhe more ac- , eesslble parts of India. "With a latitude about that1 of Damascus, or of the Oarollnas in the United States, and a protecting wall of mountains, the Vale of Kashmir has none of those extremes of heat and ; cold which make the districts to the north and south so uncomfortable at times. Flowers / and trees of many varieties grow In profustai. Sometimes a sudden chance in temperature nearby will result In a snowstorm on the surrounding mountain peaks, a vivid and Interesting spectacle from the valley. In the winter the hiercury drops a little below freezing. 'During the summer the thermometer sometimes shows a temperature of 105 degrees. "The weaving of shawls used to be the main Industry, but those Wjho made ithem were 'practicably slaves, who were never allowed to leave JitTshtnir. It has Deen said that every shawl cost the eyesight of ope or more persons. The shawl Industry was brought to an pnd by the Franco-Prussian war In 1870. / "A treaty between the state of Kashmir aqd the British government, J?y which six shawls of fine quality tnust be paid yearly. Is said to be the " only thing that prevents the knowledge of the art from dying out among the natives. One of the most beautiful designs Is the 'cone' pnttern; another favorite Is the 'ring'' shawl, which, though not transparent. Is so soft that it can be easily drawn through a finger ring. American whalers and Balling vessels plowing the Pacific 50 i years ago invariably made their way into the ports of India to obtain one i of these prized light wraps as a gift for the women vaiting at home. "Main Slreet" a River. "The main suiprise and the delight' f this romantic taalley today Is Srtna tLUU 1JS TU/ ... i j- . j : I [. - V >- ; ' I L.,r V far, the capital] 'the Venice of the! East'. Through the vale winds the-. Jhelum river, fed by the Icy Himalayan springs, occasionally, forming beautiful lakes of sky-blue water- The "main street' of Srinagur is thisj river, and facing the river are the! palace of the maharajah, the government buildings, and dwellings. On the river, and the numerous canals that intersect It, live l.r>,000 people in boats. Qver the Jhelum are many large bridges of wood, built on" piers of crossed horizontal logs. What the lit- i( tie chaletlike houses lack In archl- I tectnral elegance, they make up In j plcturesqueness, and In the spring their sod-covered roofs blossom forth | with fresh green grass, delicate mauve) Irises, and In some cases with gorgeous scarlet Kashmir tulips. "Near the capital, and gracing the! shores of the lakes of the Jhelum. are | , the beautiful summer gardens of many ] of the former rulers of the country, i Some of them, such as the Shalimnr, j where tne Aryan youm sang or rne j pftle hands"he loved, are In ruins, but | nature has been kind and even in ruins they possess a dreamy loveliness that puts man's handiwork to shame. On an autumn evening, when the avenues of Chenar trees are tinged with gold and russet, when the lofty mountains behind them take on every shade of blue and purple, and the long lines ot fountains sparkle in the rays of the getting sun, it would be difficult to find match for them elsewhere." t i ??????______ , Medicine Cheap and Good Here's a French physician who advises us to walk on the front of the feet, In order to stimulate the action ! of onr lungs. "Walk on the front part of the foot," says this Professor Amer, "at the rate ( of 190 steps a minute, with the head up and the calves stiffened, a quarter I of an hour, morning and evening." I This medicine, comments an observer, i can be taken by anyone, costs nothing -* I ? VtanaflMal Rfp, ^ v-^-nr y VT--WT " ' ' i! K ' / . : \i . j : . MORE ABOUT HOLY CR( > (Continued from page 1.) ..

Two thousand .{ears ago there was peraaps some excuse for the gastronome, hut today tjhere Is none. Tlie way to health lies in a balanced diet. Hippocrates. ^he father ! of medicine, | figured along the same lines hack 450 I B. C. llej expressed the belief that the science of medicine had its be- j ! ginning in! the efforts of men and women -to find better and smoother diets. Diet in the home totjlay is becoming a matter of premier eonsidera tion. Women are taking cognizance of those important food elements known as vltamines. They have learned, alio, the benefit to.the human body 'of such minerals as iron, calcium an<ji phosphorus. This knowledge has resulted in the housewife ijlnnning her menus with an eye open to dietary values, which is the big' reason why milk has assumed such a large place In the menu bf the American ramny. 3111K contains every structural element for body building. It Is an almost perfect food. [Despite the best refrigeration facilities, milk will keep sweet only a short time. Millions of American housewives have solved this big problem by using evaporated milk,! which Is simply fresh ' cow's milk ' sterilized In cans to achieve keeping qualities; and with sixty per cent of the water retrieved; Evaporated milk Is not the same as I condensed nflk, although many persons confuse the two. The condensed product Is a! combination of mill! and I sugar cane in a two-fifth cane suirar , and three-fiftjh milk proportion. Evaporated milk has nothing but Water taken from It and nothing at nil added Sugar Is the preservative used In manufacturing the condensed product, while heat ;only Is the preservative' . for evaporated milk. For this reason the evaporated product may be used In any way In which market milk Is used. t-T.

"But why are you bo merry about li 7" the friend Inquired. "Why don t you see," laughed the optimist; "it limits my bad luck to seven yeare."
