moderation.


Thousands of women whose mission
in life is to set botched world straight
are going the pace that kills as surely
as if theirs was the way of the sinner
instead of the way of reform, says a
writer in Harper's Bazar. In blind de-
votion to their higher aims, in concern
for others good, by the haste and
waste of themselves they accomplish
just one thing certain-their own end.
Death is unhappily not always the end,
nor does the light of reason always
fail, leaving them in mumbling obliv-
ion Of the wreck they are. The end
comes rather as a wise old lady de-
scribed, cautioning a young girl who
was giving her days and nights to the
improvement of humanity: "Don't do
it, my dear. Be good you must, be
great if you can, but in all things and
above all things be moderate. 1t profits
the world nothing to burn, your candle
at both ends. And for yourself the re-
suit is awful. You do not thus con-
sumo the candle in a brilliant flare of
unselfishness. No; you just burn it
quickly down to a useless mess of
grease, which remains obstinately
where it dropped, unsightly to every
body and slow, painful retribution for
yourself"

The Paper Of the People,
For the People and

Honest in Motive
Fearless in Expression

A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and liber-
ally is better able to inpart his know
ledge than the man who has little OF
nothing to spend.
The Sun is the highest type Of news
paper.
The Suns special correspondents
throughout the United States, as well as
in Europe, South Africa, China, and, in
fact, all over the world, make it an un-to-
date newspaper.
The market reports and commercial
features put the farmer, the merchant
and the broker in close touch with the
markets at Baltimore, Norfolk, Charles
ton, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and other places which are prominent
centers.
From now on the news of the world
promises to be more interesting than
ever before and national and political
questions will arise, making probably the
most eventful period in the country's
history.
This, together with the corps of edi-
tors and reporters at Baltimore. Wash
ington and New York, make The Sun
invaluable to it's readers.

Woman sunrage In colorado.

There has been SO much said of late
through the newspapers of the lack of
interest taken by women in politics in
the four western states where they
have full suffrage that the following
letter from Mrs. a. L. Welch, vice pres
ident of the Womens Republican
League of Denver, will be read with in
terest:

tion to refute some statements made
about equal suffrage in Colorado.
have been actively engaged in the cam
paign from beginning to end. Two
years ago a few women organized the
Woman's Republican league. This fall
we reorganized under the name of the
Woman's Republican League of Colo
RADIO. We have over 1000 workers in
this league from the ranks of the best
and most representative women of
Denver; also organizations in almost
every town in the state. The Junior
league of Denver is composed of young
married women and first voters and is
largely made up of leading society peo'
pie.
II can speak with authority of these
matters for the reason that, as vice
president of the league, | was given
charge of the work of organization in
Denver and many other places in the
state.
"Denver was organized in this man.
ner: Each district had it's chairman "a
woman Of influence; each precinct
had its chairman, who had a house to
house canvass made to be certain that
all Republican women were registered
Certain women were delegated to look
after Indifferent voters on election day.
"The Democratic women had good
strong organization of the best women
in that party, and whoever says that
the women of Colorado have little in
terest in the ballot makes a false state
ment. There are Indifferent women in
the state just as there are Indifferent
men, but they belong to the minority
The Colorado Springs Gazette says
Of the part taken by women in the last
campaign:
sit is not often in a political cam
paign that the party managers car
have the efficient adjunct Of woman's
organization; neither do the benighte6
people of the east understand the val
ue of such help when battle for good
government is being waged. If they
did, woman suffrage would exist il
every state in the Union.
Colorado has been fortunate il
the exercise of the elective franchise
by the women since it was conferred
upon them in 1893. Whenever ant
wherever they have unitedly acted tt
better political conditions they have
succeeded in manner to put the mel
to shame in the completeness and eff
cheney of their work.
"And such work is not degrading
them, either; but, on the contrary
their influence is lifting the state cam
paign far above the average of simila
campaigns before suffrage was grant

After the two were on the street

with Sherlock Holmes ingenuity, they

These young women say that there

their pocketbooks. They are firmly

pocketbooks makes it her business to
corral pocketbooks and other missing

wedding mt nm Army POST.

In an article in The Woman's Home
Companion entitled Holiday Week at

scribes as follows a military wedding
performed at an isolated post in Ari-
zona:
"Such unexpected things happen in
military life! We nearly lost our breath
when in the midst of our gayety an or
der came for Mr.. Knox to go to the
Philippines. He and Miss Porter were
to be married next June, and he insist
ed upon leaving her bride instead Of
fancee, hoping she might join him

"Only a few in the garrison had
known that the order to our senior lieu
tenant was not wholly unexpected. The
colonePs family had guarded well the
secret.
"The ceremony, with all its features,
was so picturesque and SO unlike those
we have seen in civilian life. On the
afternoon Of New Years day blue coat
ed soldiery walked with formal tread
up and down the walk which led from
the coloners quarters to the chapel. AT
the former place national flag almost
hid the little veranda, which was trans
formed into a bower of flowers and fo-
liage, for the day was warm and dry,
as if nature, too, smiled upon the oeca-
sion. Soft rugs carpeted the walk to
the gate, and there the bridal party
formed after the guests had been re-

gowned formed fair advance guard
for the party and scattered flowers on
the way from the Southwick home to

Women workers In England.

!, At the recent conference of women
workers held in Brighton, England, al
most every subject under the sun was
touched upon. Touched upon" is used
advisedly, for the time limit made it
impossible for any speaker to do more
than tell what she would talk about
had she the opportunity. Still, with
the vogue suggestion has nowadays,
hints and words to the wise do more
than did two hour discourses in former
times to set people to thinking and act
ing in new and better directions. 1t is
hardly possible, brief as We're the ad-
dresses made at this conference, to
even give list of the subjects; but, as
Mrs. Humphry Ward was the most
prominent speaker and as her subject
was one of deep interest everywhere,
a glimpse at it at least may be record
ed. 1t was 1.-THE Training and the Aft
. er Care of Afflicted Children" Mrs.
Wards plea was for especial schools
for crippled children-schools where
they would not be urged either by rules
or by their own ambition to keep up
with perfectly healthy children. Per-
sonally Mrs. Ward has been instrument
Ital in establishing in London day
s school for the benefit of children who
are suffering from some physical dis
Iqualification which prevents them from
7 attending the regular schools with ad-
5yantage. There are also two other
schools in London for children physic-
ally disabled by spinaN liseases or some
other painful complaint. But there IS
need Of further schools for cripples,
y and Mrs. Ward is enthusiastic in work
ing for them. One of these schools
I maintains a carriage or ambulance IN
which the ailing children are taken to
and from school, and there is also a
nurse employed to accompany this car
riage on it's trips. Doubtless, as Mrs.
'Ward urged, many ailments might pc
cured il such schools were established
in all large cities where individual at
tention could be given to the physical
and mental requirements of the child.
The child and its needs, by the way,
received a good deal of attention at
this conference, but only one more
speaker shall be quoted, and that is
} Miss Ida Farnell, who deplored the
tendency to play rough games and con-
a.jg1sed up n terrible picture OF what

Bernhardt on beauty.

Sarah Bernhardt says that writer's
on beauty often try to impress upon
their readers that neither joy nor grief,
neither laughter nor tears, should be
permitted to mar the smoothness of the
skin or the softness of the mouths
curves. They should have the face look
like waXen mask.
There is, however, a happy medium
between the expressionless, dull, I'M
wrinkled face and the face which is
full of character, but wrinkled by un-
controlled temper and ungoverned
moods. We should never try not to
feel, but cultivate the self control that
subdues the manifestations of feeling
in frowns OF puckerings. Cultivate re-
pose, is the 'divine Sarah's" advice, if
you desire to remain beautiful.

pIen For Cooking schools.

s'The ones who talk against the cook
ing schools of today are only those who
have very little practical knowledge of
their methods and results" said a prac-
tical housewife after attending an I'M
usually interesting "lesson," and the
truth of this has been repeatedly no
ticed.
The opinion is too general that cook
ing school methods are antagonistic to
health and economy, when the truth is
quite the reverse. This prejudice may
arise from the fact that demonstration
lectures, as reported in the newspapers,
generally illustrate the more elaborate
dishes, such lectures being given to
suggest novelties or to please the de-
mand for something extra nice.
Sometimes, however, the more eco
nomical dishes are demonstrated, but
the general audience or reader fails to
understand it as such. A woman will
read rule which calls for cupful of
this, half a cupful of that, flour to mix,
etc., and confuse it's brevity with plain
ness and economy. Give her recipe
calilnS lOf iiHH Tue expense, Uut Wiln
accurate measurement and the proper
way of mixing and cooking carefully
written out, and she will call it ''too
fussy for her." This may be refec-
ton on her common sense, but it is
often true nevertheless.
Cooking school methods are scientific
methods, and these should be the guide
always in preparing food for the fam
lily. And it is only those who under
stand these facts from practical knowl-
edge who rightly appreciate cooking
schools and the good work they are
doing throughout the country in these
days of advancement along scientific
and domestic lines.-Philadelph Rec
