FIFTY CENTS FOR NOTHING.

What will the inventive brain of man
do next? This is question some one
asks almost daily. There is one, though,
who leads all others, who for a quarter
of a century has been making fine laun-
dry starch, and to-day is offering the
public tbe finest starch ever placed on
the mari-et.
Ask your grocer for coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two packages of this new starch, RED
CROSS" Grade mark brandy also two
children's Shakespeare pictures, paint
ed in twelve beautiful colors, natural is
life, or the Twentieth Century Girl Cal
endar, all absolutely free. All grocers
are authorized to give ten large pack
ages of RED CROSS STARCH" with
twenty of the Shakespeare pictures or
ten of the Twentieth Century Girl Cal
endars to the first five purchasers of the
ENDLESS CHAIN STARCH BOOK.
This is one of the greatest offers ever
made to introduce "RED CROSS" laun-
dry starch, j. c. Hubinger's latest in
vention.

nomination by n two-thirds vote of her
party, and while she spent her cam
paign in the schoolroom, making but
one campaign trip, and that when she
was invited to meet the people in the
remotest part of her county, at Boom
er's Ferry, she was elected by a large
majority.
She is an active worker in primaries,
county and state conventions and has
served on some of the most important
committees in these conventions.
While in the legislature she was chair
man of the engrossing committee,
member of the committee on education,
and of the committee on privileges and
elections; she was also appointed on
number of special and honorary COM
mittees, and was appointed to preside
over the house while that body was IN
committee of the whole, and is said
to have welded the gavel with dignity,
fairness and impartiality.
Mrs. Wright is a refined and cultured
woman, performing her political du-
ties in a quiet, dignified manner, that
completely silences all opposers. She
has made hosts of friends during her
stay at the capital.
She began her political work in 1894
and worked hard during the campaign.
During the campaign of 1896 she
worked for the suffrage amendment,
not as a political issue, but as an act
of justice to women, appealing to all
parties. She says that it is so difficult
for them to understand the prejudice
that exists in the east and says:
Il only wish the eastern states could
see us enjoy our freedom, and we are
just as feminine as though we had
never exercised the franchise, and our
husbands, fathers and brothers are just
as fond of us as they ever were. oh!
how l wish the east could understand
as we do"

WOMAN LEGISLATORS
Idaho Has Three In the Lower House,
and They Have All Made
Good Records.

A woman suffrage amendment was
carried in Idaho in 1896, and in 1898
three women were elected to the house
of representatives, Mary A. Wright,
Clara L. Campbell and Hattie F. Noble,
all of whom have fulfilled their duties
to the complete satisfaction of their
constituents and with credit to them
selves.
Mrs. Wright, the representative from
Kootenai county, the extreme north
ern part of the state, is teacher by
profession and has long been recog-
nized as one of Idaho's most success
full educators. Both herself and hus-
band are heavy taxpayers. She has al
ways taken lively interest in edu-
cational and other public affairs and
while she has made study of public
questions and is well posted-as any
gentleman will learn who undertakes
to argue politics with her-she is not
a professional politician in any sense OF
the word.

THE CHILD'S MIND.
Broaden 1t by Letting Him Look Into
Every Phase of Life M n Part
of His Education.

Expand the child's mind by showire
him from time to time scenes from all
sides of life. Take him to-day to
studios and let him see how pictures are
made; next week to silk factories, to
learn the poetry of labor, and afterward
to brick-yard and an iron-foundry,
not forgetting the claims of great
churches and monuments upon an ele-
vating education. The alienation of
city and country is a delightful stimu-
liant. When travel is possible we should
give the child glimpses of mountains
and sights of the sea, and let him be-
come acquainted with mountaineers
and fishermen, even as he ought in town
to know something of the ways ana
thoughts of the workmen, so that he
may come to feel sympathy with all
sorts of people and understand the
merit of labor. Actual experience of
this kind is worth infinitely moee than
the theorizing in school-books. 1t is
not particularly interesting to a child
| to read that he should be grateful to all
the people who supply him with his
daily comforts; to the farmer, the
baker, the manufacturer, the builder.
But when he sees how grain grows and
is converted into -four; how furniture
is wrought from blocks of wood, and
threads woven into cloth, the whole
history of the objects about him is re-
vealed. The different parts of life be-
come connected and he gets a sense of
the thread of harmony that runs
through it all. And he has moment of
satisfaction, coming through feeling
of kinship with the world, which is
more useful than gratitude upon gener-
al rinciples.-Florence Hull Winter
burn, in Woman's Home Companion.

then select boards of the proper length
to fit the curvature of the bed. Nail
these on and then attach the uprights,
provided for that purpose. Suspend
from the cross-wire, as shown in the il
lustration. This makes very desirable
flood gate, and one that will not be car
ried away in time of freshet. The cross
pieces should be 2x4 scantling, and the
boards used for uprights may be ordi-
nary fencing planks sawed to the prop
er length. They should be made of
pine from the fact that this is much
lighter than hard wood.-orange Judd

FALL PLANTED TREES.
They Have Number of Important
Advantages Over Those Planted
in the Spring.

The fall-planted fruit or shade tree
has great advantage over the spring
planted tree. Our summers are hot,
pretty much all over the country, and
they are pretty ,ong, too. The heat,
with the long dry spells that We fire.
quently have, makes the growth of the
spring-planted tree very slow and un-
certain. But if the planting is done in
the fall, the hole dug large and deep,
the top soil and suitable fertilizer placed
at the bottom, over and among which
the roots are carefully spread, and more
rich soil added, with the clay subsoil
which has been removed in making the
hole, poked we'll about the young tree
at the surface, the tree will be pretty
well fortified for any kind of weather.
The depth and width of the hole will
enable it to retain much moisture about
the roots, which become well set, and
begin growth during the late fall,
which is resumed at the very beginning
of mild weather in the spring. There
is no shock to the tree when the true
growing season comes and it is ready to
resume its growth. Having tried both
fall and spring planting of trees, L shall
hereafter, when have occasion to plant
trees, do it in the fall of the year.

THE NORMAL WOMAN.
Her Exact Proportions in Plain Fig
ures, with Some Notes on the
Cultivation of beauty.

Female beauty according to famous
artists and sculptors is question of
proportion merely, and, since this is
so, large number of women will be
surprised to see how nearly they con-
form to physical perfection by finding
striking similarity between the sculp-
tors ideal and their own forms. When
these proportions do not agree in the
ma Jority of cases the figure has been
marred by injudicious treatment-tight
corsets, small shoes, lack of proper eX-
ercise, etc.
Let the length of the head be what it
will, woman's height should be seven
and half times its length, or ten times
the length of her face, or nine times the
length of her hand, or six and half
times the length of her foot, or, with
arms outstretched, from finger to finger
exactly as she does from head to toe.
The exact proportions for perfect
woman should be five feet four inches;
weight, 1876 pounds; bust, SO inches;
waist, 25 inches; hips, 81 inches; thigh,
25 inches; calf, 14R inches; ankle, s
inches; hands, Z inches; feet, 10 inches.
The distance between the temples
should be the exact length of the face;
the arms should be three times the
length of the head, and the shoulders
should be two heads in width.
Beautiful eyes are wide open with
heavy lashes and delicately penciled
eyebrows. Beautiful ears are set close
to the head and must be small and deli
cately shaped. The perfect hand need
not be small-it must be in proportion
to ones height-but it must be well
shaped with gradually tapering fingers
and curved nails. The perfect foot has
high instep. This is the possession of
but few women because of their badly
fitting shoes. A beautiful neck and
shoulders are prizes which every young
woman may possess if she is willing
to pay the price. The rules for their
cultivation are simplicity wearing
loose clothing so that ones movements
may be free, and by wearing shoes with
low heels; by taking plenty. of sleep,
daily baths, plenty of exercise, fresh
air might and day., simple, nourishing
food, and a course of gymnastic eXer-
else to insure uniform development.
The normal woman should reach the
perfection of her beauty at the age of
25, and it is the normal woman who
alone is beautifrl.-Mrs. Mary Easton,
in American Queen.

Packing Apples for Export.

Apples for export should be honestly
and tightly packed with sound fruit;
sample barrels are entirely emptied in
the presence of the buyers. They
should be packed in clean packages, well
coopered, and the head of the barrel
should be neatly stenciled with the
name of the variety, grade and some
shipping mark; the English law also
requires the letters ~. S. A to be
on every barrel shipped to that coun'
try. Export apples should be shipped
as soon as practicable after packing,
and if held in storage for consider
able length of time should be entirely
repacked. The best varieties for ex'
port are the hard and best colored
fruit.-C. II. Lawrence.

Kere is a simple, homemade device

Hand-Painted Linen.

The latest craze is to have your walk
ing gown set off with hand-painted col
lar and cuffs. 1t originated in Paris
and is really an extension of the fancy
for hand-painted ball gowns, fans,
shoes, etc. At the drawing rooms this
season sprays or trails of hand-painted
flowers have been in pretty general
vogue for the corners of trains and the
edging of over-draperies.
