Vocal Economy.

Let the vocal pupil remember that the
charm, beauty and soul of her voice will
be improved and strengthened 100 per
cent. by the adoption of fruit diet and
clean living. This particular diet means
extreme temperance and includes, among
other nourlshing and nutritious articles,
all ripe raw fruits except bananas;
stewed dried fruits. fried or baked
banans and apples, wine lime Juice,
lemonade and cider, and vegetables in
variety. The teacher who gives this adj
vice says with reference to cleanliness:
Look at the stage for proofs. The life
is SO hard that only those who take ex-
quisite care of themselves survive short
lived popularity"

AS TO SOME LAWS AND OTHERS.

There are laws and laws, and II is
the business OF Supt Byrnes to enforce
all Of them.
But inasmuch as they cannot all be
enforced at once, why does not the
Superintendent exercise a little common
sense in the selection of the time and
place at which to begin the work Of
enforcement?
Why devote the whole police force
to enforcing the obnoxious and often
unjust provisions OF the Excise law at
time when crimes OF violence are
epidemic?
OF what benefit is It to the citizen to
save him from the wiles Of the rum
shop after ! A. NJ, merely to turn him
over to the tender mercies OF the thug
and the highwayman? Far better to
leave the saloons open as refuge until
the streets are made safe for pedestrians.

that the machine will at least attempt

the eyes OF the public to the extent OF the

presume that the attempt will not be
made so openly this Fall. But II It is

BRby Footwear.

The dearest and daintiest goods in the
hosiery stock are silk sox for babies be-
tween the ages of six months and FIVE
years. They are about as long. from toe
to top, as lead pencil, but the smallest
size costs H.S5. The most salable is pink
silk. They are made with double heels
and toes and a tight-tittng Jersey top,
and there Is no resisting them. Any

buy them If she had to walk home. Sox
