Chicago, Dec. 9.-The great la
Dor war threatening so lorg be-
tween the Chicago building con-
tractors and trade unions has
been averted through an agreement
for permanent arbitration board
of which the personnel is to be

agreed upon no sympathetic strike
is to be declared until the new
board has had an opportunity to
investigate and decree what are to

vision is made for the naming of q
referee by the arbitrators in the
event that the board is unable to

Many q man is in the condition of

of digestion and nutrition impaired

which has to be overcome in addition
to the performance of daily duties.
A foul stomach makes foggy braiu,

The story of love is as old as the world,
and as all embracing as the universe. 1t
furnishes the sentiment for all romances-
all novels-all plays.
The novelist considers il wholly from the
sentimental, intellectual side, but there Is
another aspect even more important-the
physical side. Sentimental love between
men and women leads to close physical as
sociatiou-to marriage-to the rearing of
children. And so health must be consid-
cred. A weak, sickly, head-achey, back
achey woman cannot be a good. helpful
wife. She cannot bear healthy, happy
children. She cannot give her children
the proper care and training
sick woman has no right to marry. A
sick woman has no right to attempt moth
erhood.
But no woman need be sick unless af-
fiicted with cancer. There is a sure way
for her to regain her health She need not

While Uncle Ebby was eating, Ethel
filed basket with lint and set it on
the chimney shelf.
Now, Uncle Ebby, listen to me-"
said Ethel when you are sick in bed
you mustn't call Jake or Tidy or any
of your grandchildren. I'm to do the
nursing on this plantation, and l want
to call Jake and make him tie string
TO your bedpost, and the other end to
my bedpost, so that you can ring bell
right over my head when you are sick.
You understand"
Jake! Jaker called Ethel. Jake
came when called, and after many
trials arranged an unsightly contriv-
ance, so that the pulling Of the string
did ring bell just over Ethel's bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed it. but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be
patient under ridicule.
Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside, ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played a practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented repetition OF his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring
long and loud. Ethel jumped out of
bed and in a few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebbys bedside. The moonlight
fell on the black face and white head.
Shaking his arm with all her might,
she called out. Uncle Ebby. wake up!"
The old man opened his eyes and
sat up in bed.

Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived
curl of smoke in the corner OF the
cabin.
What's that, Uncle Ebby? Look!

"Sump'n a-fiah, sho'r'
And SO 1t was. Uncle Ebby screamed
for help. Black and white rushed to
the rescue. Jake and the other men
led the cattle out of danger. and the
mystery of the bell was solved when
old Brindle's horns were seen strus-
Cling with the string, which, in order
to reach up to Ethels chamber, had
been passed through the COW shed. The
smoke had driven her to the open door,
and in making her way she had caught
her horns in the string. Fortunately
nothing was burned except the corner
OF the shed.
Next morning at breakfast Tom,
who had been very brave in putting
out the fire, said, well, Ethel, which
is the Sister of Mercy, you or old Brin-
dle?"
But papa said, III she had not been
Sister OF Mercy, there is no telling
what a fire we might have had, and
perhaps poor old Uncle Ebby would
have been burned in his bed. Ethel's

Ethel, looking puzzled.
.'Yes. She spends her life in acts Of

her of beautiful white ribbon. AS she

AN EASTER GARTER.

garter-must not be forgotten. In
pairs for real use, singly, in yellow, for
luck, the garter is perennial. This year
it is most gorgeous, being covered with
puffings of chiffon or ribbon in Easter
colors and further decorated with bows
composed of chiffon, satin r>bbon an
inch or more wide, baby ribbon in sa-
tin or velvet and narrow lace, the
latter also being intermingled.
Buckles are also added to many of
the bows, with puffings covering the
elastic. This sounds elaborate, and
the garter thus decorated looks it, but
short study of the arrangement and
a bit of mental arithmetic proves that
the method is really simple, the ex-
pense inconsiderable. and the effect
fiat contradiction of both deductions.
The single garter is presented for
luck. 1t will call Cupid to aid the
spinster, young or old, in attaining
within the year that "other half ever
and eagerly expected. Three condi-
tions are necessary, however. 1t must
be yellow, it must be worn on the left
leg and it must be-well. the third con-
is better not mentioned.
Aluminium is made up into all sorts
of boxes, trays, cups, baskets, crosses,
frames. ETC., and these may be prettily

like those of celluloid, may be cut in

articles and similarly decorated.

very little, is a work bag of brocaded

Wonderful Easter Hats.

An inQuisitive person in New York
city has been examining the Easter
hats, and she says the women of that
city spend 100000 each Easter for
hats. AS for this years variety. she
says:
Il give you my word some of them
measured two by three feet. II size is
what you are looking for, you will find
it in the April extravaganza-and you
will pay for 1t. In fact. the hat seems
to be in direct ratio to Its traditional
bill. Humility has way of showing
itself in bushes that cost $l4 bunch.
Clever French roses they are. with
