GREAT WARS Of RATES

TOOK YEARS TO RECOVER

The present passenger rate war,
which threatens to become the most
extensive and ruinous In the history
of American roads, recalls some of the
great wars of rates of the past prob
ably the most notable of which was
that of years ago which resulted IN
wrecking several Eastern railroads, ana
in which the Baltimore & Ohio was the
chief sufferer. The climax of that war
was reached when that road issued
blocks of unlimited tickets, at a ridic-
uInusIy low figure. over its entire sys-
TEN and placed them in the hands Of
brokers Spectators bought them and
held them until rates were restored.
They were the greatest investment in
the history of speculation and for
tunes We're made by the investors, but
it ruined the b. & O., and that road
did not in many years recover from the
effects of it.
Another notable war was that which
involved all the Western roads about
y years ago, when a s. rate was made
from the Missouri river to California, =
said a well known railroad man in
Butte yesterday. Many people renem-
Der it and railroad men will never for
get it. The one good result, and prob
ably the only one, of that war. was
that it cleared the Eastern cities of
their vast armies of idle and unem-
ployed men. They We're dumped into
California by thousands and thousands.
and that state has not yet recovered
from the burden of those idle and mon
eyless men. | rather fear a similar
result for some of the Northwestern

MORE HOUSES WANTED,
And a Lot of Them VIII Be Built in
Butte This Year


Houses are in demand in Butte. The
HOUSEKEEPING agents say so, the house
hunter says so. and indeed 1t is So The
demand to-day for desirable residences,
modest cottages, with the modern con-
Veniences, is greater than the supply.
This is not a new condition of affairs
1t was ever thus since the days when
the log cabin replaced the tent and the
more pretentious frame took the place
of the cabin, until now the brick sup
plants the frame and more brick houses
are demanded. 1t is merely one of the
indisputable evidences of a growing,
prosperous city, thriving, busy popu-
lation of 80, 900 souls or more
There is going to be a building matt
nee lasting all next summer. That
much is certain, If statements of land
owners are to be accredited, and here
in Butte they usually mean what they
say, campaign lies excepted. The car
penters and other builders predict a
busy season, and while they contem-
plate this they urge that there are
enough mechanics in Butte to do the
proposed work. 1t is expected that this
year will compare fayorably with years
past, when building progressed on all
sides and ends. While there is assur-
anCe of much construction in a modest
way there is a general feeling that
something big is going to be done
that is in the matter of extension of

The Real Auburn.

1t may be questioned whether the
name of Sweet Auburn" was wholly
an invention of Goldsmith's fancy, or
whether it was taken from that of any
village actually deserted. But there
is in England deserted village ac-
tually called Auburn, which lies on the
Yorkshire coast, near Bridlington.
The desertion has, however, been
caused, not by the reason assigned by
Goldsmith, but by the inroads of the
sea. which has now washed away the
church and the whole village, with the
exception of one farmhouse, itself
soon to disappear, as it stands on the
very edge of the cliff. This destruc-
tion has been subsequent to the date OF
Domesday, where the name appears as
Eleburn, and afterward as Album, the
-'eel-burn, :" less pOetical name than
Auburn, just as Osborne, in the Isle OF
Wight, is corruption of Oysterbourne
name of less euphony and dignity
than that which it now bears.-LOn-
don Notes and Queries.

PROGRESS.

With time, comes progress and ad-
yancement in all lines of successfully
conducted enterprises. Success comes
to those only who have goods with
superior merit and a reputation. In
the manufacture of laundry starch for
the last quarter of a century j. e.
Hubinger has been the peer of all
others and to-day is placing on the
market the finest laundry starch ever
offered the public under our new and
original method.
Ask your grocer for coupon book
which will enable you to get the first
two large 10 cent packages of his new
starch, RED CROSS, TRADE MARK
brand, also two of the children's
Shakespeare pictures painted in twelve
beautiful colors as natural as life, or the
Twentieth Century Girl Calendar, all
absolutely free.
All grocers are authorized to give ten
large packages of RED CROSS STARCH,
with twenty of the Shakespeare pic
lures or ten of the Twentieth Century
Girl Calendars, to the first five purchas-
ers of the Endless Starch Chain Book.
This is one of the grandest offers ever
made to introduce the RED CROSS
laundry starch, J. C. Hubinger's latest
invention.

THE ART OF FACE WASHING.
Bo1ied water at Night Helps to Pre-
serve the SmOOthness and Clear
ness of the Skin.

The face, exposed as it is to every
form of floating corruption, needs most
intelligent and unremitting care. 1t is
also the theater of the emotions, where
hate, envy, jealousy, anger and all the
unlovely traits play their mimic part.
Bad facial habits, scowling, squirting,
grimacing leave here their indelible
lines.
Sighed faded beauty, as she gazed
at her white, shapely shoulders and
prematurely lined face: "Ah, me! L
have literally an old head on young
shoulders. | wonder why it is?" One
does not have to search far for the an
Ewer The face bears the brunt of the
battle of life. Women do not realize the
value of an unruffied brow and serene
countenance until too oft indulgence in
unhappy emotions has fixed their fatal
footprints there. The utterance of
"prunes and prisms" is not so utterly
absurd as it appears at first thought.
1t carries a bit of lesson. 1t repre-
sents desire to "look pleasant" as
the photographers caution a sitter.
Why not try to imagine ones self be-
fore perpetual camera? The predomA
inant spirit that lies back of the coun-
tenance molds the tractable tissue into
its own likeness as years roll on, so
that "he who runs may read"
Washing the face every night in hot
water that has been boiled to soften it,
followed by cold water and gentle
massage, will undeniably smooth out
incipient lines and greatly retard the
formation of new ones.
The epidermis is horny substance,
containing not one particle of water,
therefore water cannot penetrate it.
Oil and vapor will. They soften the
pores and loosen all undesirable accu-
mutations.
Every night, before going to bed,
short time should be devoted to the
facial bath. If the skin be impreg-
mated with blackheads and pimples, rub
in well little olive or sweet almond
oil, allowing it to remain on about ten
minutes. Wash off in hot, boiled wa
ter and pure soap, using plenty of fric-
ton. Rinse in hot water until all traces
of soap have been removed. Then
dash on plentifully cold water in which
a pinch of soda has been dissolved. A
few drops of benzoin added to the water
makes a milky, fragrant bath, and acts
as a tonic and whitener to the skin.
Dry the face thoroughly upon a soft
towel rubbing upward and backward
toward the ear. If the skin feels at
all harsh finish with tiny bit of cold
cream to replace the natural oil re-
moved by the hot bath and friction.
A youthful skin does not require the
cream and subsequent massage, but it
is of Indispensable value to an aging
face.
If faithfully and intelligently pursued
this simple treatment, in conjunction
with hints above given, will refine
coarse and greasy skins, eradicate mi
nor cases of eruptions, restore fresh
ness and color to faded faces and erase
many lines caused by time, worry and
facial expression.-Ledger Monthly.

CHOOSING A CAREER.
SalIie JOY White COunseIs Mother and
Daughter on Taking This Mo-
mentous Step.

In most cases both of men and women
the struggles and disappointments in
industrial pursuits arise from lack of
thought in choosing career. That is
fatal to any endeavor. A grave and
daily-recurring mistake is made in seek
ing the fields that are already over
full and not looking afar for new occu-
pations. If fewer girls would qualify
themselves for the overcrowded pro-
fessions and fit themselves for other
skilled employments and newer indus
tries there would be fewer discouraged,
anxious, overburdened women.
The careful mother who watches her
child and takes note of its developing
tastes and studies its natural inclina-
tions can assist much in deciding the
question of occupation and help the
girl to find the place which is to be hers
in the world. The lives of women who
have become famous in various lines of
work show that as children they spent
many hours in counterfeiting the work
in which they afterward became prom
inent. The child's occupations were the
woman's in embryo. Fostering a taste,
strengthening an inclination, this can
be quietly done by the mother, and un-
der such training the question will al
most settle itself. She is a fortunate
girl who has a mother who can set her
with her face in the right direction
toward her life work. Once her place
is found. the girl who would make her
work profitable must pursue it diligent-
| ly, striving with all her might to rem
der herself as nearly perfect in it as
possible. This is an age of competition,
and only the best will succeed. Unless
one strives necessarily to get to the
| top she will remain at the bottom, and
down there lies the threatening mon
ster starvation. Unless in filling her
position she can make her influence and
power felt broadly and beneficently. uE-
less she can develop and bring the best.
the noblest and most generous instincts
| of her nature to her work, she has not
chosen her right work or the right place
in which to pursue it.-Sallie Joy
White, in Woman's Home Companion.

discovery, which he considers the
crowning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in a
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning to distribute
millions of packages of this starch to
the housewives of America, at a merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
to make its merits known without de-
lay. Thus, for but cents two large
1Oc packages of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in 12
beautiful colors, or Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series of eight tShakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-views alone easily worth
$1.O0. Watch this paper for future
premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies to the manufacture of
this new and wonderful starch, he will
not retire from the various financial
enterprises in which he is interested
street railways, electric lighting plants
and the Mississippi Valley Telephone
Co., with 10000 telephone subscribers
in Minneapolis and st. Paul-nor will
his augmented activity interfere with
his social obligations and exercise of
the splendid hospitality which he dis
penses at his palatial Keolluz home.
Mr.. Hubinger's family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children, is the
pivot around which his activity re-
wolves, and while fond of promoting
great enterprises, he is still fonder of
his home circle, where he spends every
moment of time not taken up by busi-
ness or public cares.

CnInrS for Autumn.

When you ask what cOlors are to be
worn throughout the autumn months
one can safely answer: Wear any
thing that is becoming, from black to
white, touching all the colcrs on the
way" Heliotropes and vioiets are out
in new shades, and when becoming are
stylish and pretty. Gray is much worn,
and has honestly won the name of ''aris-
tocratic" as coloring. The soft light
grays are more worn than those of
blush tint, and are mostly made of solid
color, and should be worn with an all
black hat trimmed in soft ostrich and
tulle effect. For very dressy carriage
or calling wear many women affect the
ail-white hat with the gray gown, and
invariably the hat has bird of paradise
in white as trimming. Many shades
of blue are announced for autumn, but
are mostly worn in the morning. The
new tan shades run much lighter
