Once in awhile we meet a girl or woman

ON A NEW TACK.
'Ida s" Discusses the Several Modes of
Hair Dressing.

EDITOR AND FRIENDs-Some one asked
that we give our opinions on some stylish
and becoming way Of dressing the hair.
Well. the girls seem little slow so l will
lead of.
In the first place, everybody knows that
the way woman wears her hair deter
mines the expression of her face more
than all things else. 1 have known
very dull eyed, ugly featured girl made to
look almost beautiful by the elaborate
piling up. putting and frizzling OF her hair.
Again, have known girls | always had
thought handsome look like veritable
scarecrows by plastering down their hair
to forehead or head, or arranging it in
palmer style than they had been in
the habit of wearing it. Then
again. the particular style OF wear
ing the hair which suits one
wa ALI know NAV not suit another. The
shape of the head and face determines
this; az also does the color OF the hair.
Light hair will gain in beauty itself by
being waved, pulled or frizzed. Indeed,
iipht-haired persons should never wear
their hair plain. The only hair that looks
we'll worn plainly dressed is the dark,
glossy brown, and the face must be full
for this even to look well. There is GER
tain shade of black hair which looks very
nice LAID in heavy PLANTS, long curls or lit
tie ringlets; but never put a frizzing iron
ON this hair. If you don't want to look like
a maiden straight from Ethiopia. A very
fleshy-faced girl, especially If she is in
clined to run to a double chin, and no
neck to speak of, should never wear her
hair piled high upon her head. Just as
sure as she does she will increase the
width of her face, and make her neck and
chin out of all proportion in looks to the
rest OF her body. Such faces look the best
with only a light fringe of curls on the
forehead, and the hair combed straight
back from the face and fastened in low

Each varying charm more fair, more fee

With joyous heart by their pure rays,

Forever TO go out no more,

THE shifting of the burden of the sugar tax is striking example Of the republican policy of double dealing. While 1t Is true that the removal of the tariff gives to the con sumers sugar at lower price than they have been able to purchase it before, the removal of the burden is only apparent In the place Of a tariff which inures to the benefit of the manufacturer he is given boun- ty by the United States government. Instead of securing his special priv- ileges by adding to the price of the sugar he sells, this price may be re duced and the difference. made up by bounty, tho profit to the msnu factursr remaining the same. The money for the bounty is paid directly from the treasury like that for public buildings. pensions and other expenses Of the government. Of course the people pay this tax in the end. The reduction in this house hold necessity is made up in increased prices upon other articles in order that the money required for bounties may be secured. They save on sugar to lose on clothing or agri cultural implements. It is simply a shifting of the burden, not q relief from any part of it. The aggregate tax IS the same under the McKin- ley law it is much greater. But the apparent reduction upon one article affords the republican editors and orators chance to commend their party and fool the people who do not investigate. The bounty system makes the special privileges granted to manufacturers plaine- than even the indirect tax. If the people who make sugar are to be supported by the government when theIr business is unprofitable otherwise, why should not those who raise corn and wheat and cstton be given aid from Wash ingtonY

Our Presidents.

George Washington's administra. tions were non-partisan. His sue cessor in the presidency, John Adams, was a Fedsralist, or whig. Jefferson, who succeeded him in 1901 was the father of the democratic party, which, in that day, was called Republican. Madison and Monroe were also Jeffersonian Republicans (Democrats). John Quincy Adams, who became president in 1925, was nominally of the same party, but really a Federalist or Whig. An drew Jackson and Martin Van Buren were democrats. William Henry Harrison, elected in l840, was a Whig. James K. Polk, elected ln lS44, was a democrat, and Zachary Taylor, elected in lS48. was Whig. Pierce andBuchanan, elected in 1852 and 1856, were democrats. Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Garfield were re- pubhcans. Cleveland, elected in 1884, was the only democratic presi- dent since Buchanan, but there will be another democrat elected Presi- ent next year.

that body in it's two sessions was over sl ,006, 100000. Such reckless extravaganza on the part of repre- sentatives of the people in throwing away the money of the peoples government has not been seen in the history of our country. Gen. Henderson, of Missouri, though a stsunch republican, cannot endorse this record, and says:
 "However the appropriations may be justified, the fact that they reach ed $l ,000, ,000,00 is of itself appall- ing. No such snormity or appropri ations has been voted since the war 1; azd occurring in time of profou nd peace as this is, and when the great est economy was demanded, no ex- cuss can be offered for the extrava gance.
