London Hard to Traverse. as Few Streets have Signs. London, the city of distances, is unnecessarily difficult to traverse , owing to the action, orinaction, of its numerous local authorities in re- gard to the placing of street signs. Where these do exist no attempt is made out uniformity, with the result that many of the varieties of color schemes and lettering employed are practically illegible, while the signs are' frequently conspicuousby their absence. This is true not only of residential districts; and of many ua.ies'which are so alike one an - that a distinguishing mark is ritial. Many of the most imper- tont thoroughfares are equally ne- glected. Even if only for the sake of the tens of thousands' of foreign' and provincial visitors this condi- tion of affairs should riot be toler ated, but the average Londoner - knows so 'relatively' small a portion of the metropolis and its immediate environs that for his sake also re- form is 'essential. The City of West- minster and the Royal Borough of Kensiegton set an admirableexam- pie soltle years ago by the provision of really artistic street name- plates, .which are both uniform and clearly legible f3ut neither of these authorities has followed the idea to its logical conclusion, and within their boundaries . there are still. many 'varieties of signs and madly street s instffcie ntly n ro- witted therewith. What is required is the, provision throughout London of a uniform design of street tame - plate, placed at every street 'corner. The saving in time and in temper would bo incaloulable.—London Globe, GUARD BABY'S HEALTH .. IN •THE SUMMER The summer months are the most dangerous to little ones.

FORTUNE TELLER'S SECRET. What Happened When She Told • the Geisha. A fortune-telling woman named, Matsu, who has a place of business in a small shelter in Theatre S Street, Yokohama, told a geisha, whose name was not made public, on Min - day that a great fire would •occur in the Theatre Street district next week, -Wednesday or Thursday, and that 'the whole, district would be wiped out, says the Japan Adver- tiser. The far-seeing fortune teller told the:geisha to be sure and tell no one else, as it was a valuable secret. The secret cost the geisha half a yen. Then there happened the following The geisha got her trunks and. boxes together and packed up what she could conveniently get . into them. She sold for "a song all the trinkets and gifts which are pre- sumed to be so plentiful in ber pro.- fessien, and disposed of a lease upon,. desirable quarters that she had worked for years to obtain. The neighboring women stood around and watched the proceed- ings, much disturbed with curiosity, They asked questions, .but were not told the reason. "Go see Matsu," replied the girl. . tar Thursday the geisha had all her. earthly possessions transferred from her residence to a godown, across the front of which there were printed in large red letters: "Fireproof." The neighbors who had -suspended their labors for sev- eral days trooped down the street after tbo luggage when it left• the geisha's -house and were amazed to find where it had been placed. Therefore a number immediately consulted Matsu, who knew the. value of a secret. As a result some fifty families who reside in the district were startled when the female members .carne dashing home with the awful news of the -approaching eonflgra- tion and they began packing up the family possessions preparatory to leaving, One isntcent and harmless hus- band protested; but was squelched, so he informed the police. The po- lice called to investigate the..exo- dus. ' They discovered the cause. and endeavored to laugh the fright- ened natives`' out of their scare, but to no purpose. A large portion of the population of one block of Theatre Street near the .western end have removed their chatters and have ceased labor and industry while awaiting the conflagration. In one street of Paris, the Champs Elysees, there have been during the past twelve months 580 accidents, of which :30 have proved fatal. Over 2,200,000,000 eggs were im- ported in one year into the United Kingdom. MRS. G. A.

If you just jimmy around thehoriae town, your automobile is liable to blow up or throw a tire and preci- pitate you quickly into a ravine on your elbows and shoulder blades. If you go buggy riding your horse is apt to shy at a piece of paper in the road and kick you unto the mid- i die of the followng week. If you go out walking an ,auto- mobile is liable to scramble you up or a footpad is liable to tap you suddenly yet firmly upon the dome of thought. But if you sit still at home a hun- dred things are liable to happen you. You may have a fit, some weary wayfarer may come along and sell you a lot of Turkish rugs, lightning may strike .the house, and then there is always the possibility of an earthquake. At the very best you have got to. take a chance whether You want to or not. }IOW MANY OF US Fail to Select Food Nature De- mands to Ward Off Ailments? A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for sonic reason, indigestion and .nerv- ous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the, ne- cessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape - Nuts with a geed quantity of rich cream. • "In a few days more my condition changed in :a remarkable way, area I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor:. of body -and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was, entirely new in my experience: -"My former attacks of indiges- tion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condi- tion was .' distressing with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since, using_ Grape -Nuts alone fgr breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods . in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded. thewarning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these .troubles ori- ginated I' returned to my Grape - Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very• quickly.

If you want to -drive away flies have the walls of ,your rooms paper- ed of painted• blue, pale violet, dark brown, or lemon yellow, The advice is based on the out- come of experiments made by a French scientist and recounted by Dr. L. 0. Howard, Ph.D., a well- known American ,public health au- thority, in his just putb:lished book, "The House Fly." To test the effect of color on the flies a box with glass walls was pro- cured, and . the walls were pasted with bits of paper, all of the same size, but of different colors. The number of flies standing on the different colors were counted, the result being as follows: ture. When It Is Completed.. If all goes well and there are no serious delays, three or four years hence the London County Council will have cbmpleted:;.what it is, believed will be the most won- derful map in the world. Seven- teen years have already been con- sumed in its preparation, and $85,- 000 has been''expended on research and labor; connected with it. A fur- ther expenditure of about $25,000 is looked forward to with equani- mity by the authorities.

It has often been said that Lon- don was owned by a few great land- lords, such as the Duke of West- minster Lord Howard de Walden, Lord Cadogan, the Duke of Bed- ford, and the -Duke of Norfolk, That it, of course, true in a gen- eral way, but this map shows that there, are no fewer than 36,000 private owners who each possess enough property tomake a notice- able showing on its face: 'Phe map will not be issued to the, public, but is really being prepared for the use of the Comity domicil itself.

They will take any risk .at Lloyds, It should be. enclerstood that this great corporation has nothing to do with it, but that the brokers issue the policies as individuals.

Strangely enough, the. request was ignored. Then the hostess noticed the epi- sode, and remarked in a mast per- emptory manner:: "James, Mrs. Jones hasn't a fish fork. Get her one at once!" "Madam," came the emphatic re- ply, "last time Mrs. jeeps dined here we dost a fish fork." James has now been relegated to the garden. ED. 7.
