For the Pretty Blonde.

Blondes have found that for day
time wear the low, plated knot is
almost invariably becoming writes
Isabel A. Mallon in an attractive
article, well illustrated, on "The
Art Of Dressing the Hair" in the
August Ladies Home Journal. A
blonde, whose head is so shaped
that a plain arrangement of the
hair in front will suggest flatness,
has the hair on top of her head cut
about half way back so that it is
only sufficiently long to turn over
once in soft little curls, best ar
ranged, by-the-by, by putting
them up in curl papers.

HOUSTON AND SAN ANTONIO.

Houston is a good rural town,
and the Post is its fitting repre-
sentative. The only trouble with
the Post is that it is so unacquaint-
ed with the real metropolis of the
state that it unwisely imagines
Houston to be of more real import.
ance in the scale of Texas cities
than it is, and in this unwisdom of
ignorance continually makes
claims for that city that cannot be
substantiated when a clear LIGHT
is thrown upon the situation. AS
an example, the Post Of Tuesday
remarked, "The growth of a city is
indicated by the number Of new
buildings erected. Houston's rec
ord is 42O building permits issued
since January LIST. No other city
in Texas can equal this" The num-
Der Of building permits issued in
San Antonio during the period
covered by the Post is $50, an in
crease over those erected in HOus-
ton of 100. These figures show that
Houston boasts of building more
structures than any other city in
Texas, while in fact she only
reaches p percent of the building
ing activities of San Antonio. 1t
must not be forgotten that Hous-
ton Is priding herself upon boom,
while San Antonio is hardly up to
her usual high water mark of pro-
gress. Thus it appears that the
low water mark of San Antonio is
about % percent better than the
high water mark of Houston. This
is not the first time that the LIGHT
has been obliged TO inject illumi.
nation into the darkness Of the
Post, on the relative increase and
standing Of the two cities. 1t is
unaccountable how persistently
the Houston mouthpiece sticks to
its misstatements, but it must be
ON the principle that it is folly to be
wise where ignorance is bliss. One
u1ore time the LIGHT affectionate
Nv reminds the Houston Post thai
it is not only not posted as to Sar
ASSGaio, but that it can put i
dowu as gospel that in no particu
lar does Houston approach thiI
city nearer than about y in tn,
100. Sabe?

The good old days of the fathers
are splendid mile stones by which
20 mark the progress to this pres
ent. Seen through the mellow
haze that always shrouds the days
that have been, these old time
seasons and periods have a witch
ing glamour about them that Sc
duces the retrospective into a de-
sire to have them return again, but
there is no day like the present,
and the longers for that dead past
would soon murmur for the flesh
pots of the present were that past
again their heritage. This present
has in it all that is needed to evoke
the ripest wisdom and engage the
keenest activities of the growing
humanity. 1t is a wisdom that or
dams that the last day ever grows
into a newer last, and thus the
great day is ever recurring and
growing in it's greatness. Greater
days than these present the great
world never has seen. Greater in
conception, greater in execution,
greater in promise.

1t is lost time arguing against
the right of Congress to investigate
the causes Of a strike that has
caused the interstate commerce of
this Nation so much interruption,
shed so much blood, interfered so
seriously with the mails of the

millions of property as the Debs'
strike has done. 1t is equally idle
to illuminate any anathemas mara
natha against law compelling ar
bitration in all such cases. Wis
dom demands it in the interest of
peace, good government and the
protection of property, no less than
in the interest of organized labor.

The sword that cuts the Gordian
knot of labor troubles is not held
in the hand of the editors of mil
lionaire papers, for their interests
and sympathies are not with the
masses. That sword is held in the
grasp of the great body of the COM
mon people, the thinking middle
class, and it is the opinion of these
that it is as much the business of a
government of the people for the
people to prevent the alarms and
dangers of labor riots by authori.-
tative arbitration, as it is to quell
those disturbances after they arise
by the forceful intervention of the
military forces of the nation.

DEAR SIRS-More than two years ago my
eyes began to fail me. immediately applied
to eminent occulists for relief; for IL months
they treated me without particle of benefit.
Finally, about three months ago, went total
ly blind, and, as a last resort, procured an
Electropoise, which, very much to the graft
ticatiOn of myself and fanny, has restored
my sight. 1t has also greatly benefited my
wife and daughter. My wife mas subject of
paralysis for more than two years, add my
daughter sufferer from imdammatOry rheu-
matism for more than twelve years. All this
has been effected in the last two months. Too
much cannot be said In praise of the Electro
pOise. If | were the possession of the only one
in existence, the wealth of the Universe
could not purchase it, | consider it the grand
est invention of the age. Truly and CRATE
fully yours, C. w. GREENFIELD, NJ. D.

the Electropoise. still believe 1t is the great
