MIR. Van Colt would like TO see a Re-

Before and After Marriage,

There is such a lot OF things to .ur-

ever perfect, therefore the hint cannot
come amiss. no matter II 1t doesn't ex-
actly ut the case, like tailor-made

fussy about your appearance after mar
riage AS before. Your husband admires
fluffy bang, but he will not appre-
ciate curl papers. Look out for the first
squall; don't let 1t run into a tornado.

ras A Rs1 rRAr1oN COMMISSION.

The President has appointed as good
a Commission OF Arbitration under the
act "for settling controversies between
railroad corporations and other com
mon carriers engaged in Interstate
transportation of property or passen
gers and their employees" as he could
have selected. His first choice fell on
ex-senator Lyman Trumbull, of Illinois,
and ex-Collector Daniel Magone, or New
York but both declined to serve. The
appointments now are Judge Worthing-
ton, of Illinois. and John ID. Herman, Of
New York, son of eX-Cnited states
Senator Francis Herman. and for some
years "A Railroad Commissioner OF this
State under the appointment of Gov.
Cleveland.
Both are well qualified for the duties
they will be called upon to perform, and
Mr.. Herman has had much experience
in dealing with railroad matters. Both
are liberal-mlnded mon, well In sym

what will the Commission accomplish
or what real practical utility will arbi-
tration be until the decisions of court
OF arbitration are made as binding as
the decisions OF a law court In all dis
putes between capital and labor In
which the public interests are concerned?
Who can hope for friendly voluntary
