income so reduced as 10 be unable to meet

recourse has been 10 increase the license
tax on occupations. The tax on prop

but this is the last thing the modern girl,
as rule, thinks OF doing. In the classes
where the girls are not made TO work,
the great business OF their lives is their

the daughters clothes, while that young
lady herself is deep in cheap novelette,.
One cannot say that the mothers are to

ity, and made gentlehood a matter Of
idleness and luxury rather than char
acter and conduct. "a real lady" in
the estimation of more classes than the
one which gave us the expression, is
person who "never soils her hands,"
and mothers sacrifice themselves in or
der that their daughters may live up to
that paltry ideal.
There are plenty Of homes where the
means are not lacking, where there is
humanity, kindness and gentleness on
all occasions but mother never gets a
vacation. 1t would at least be fair to
give mothers an even chance with
daughters.

The MARRIAGE problem

cHow to he happy though married." has
been entirely solved to the satisfaction
of hundreds of thousands of women.
There can be no happiness without
health. The general health of woman
is dependent on the local health of the
delicate womanly organs. When there
are debiltating drains or inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret of happiness in marriage is found
in the use Of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It dries the drains, heals ul-
ceration and inflammation and cures fe-

Women of a Dutch village.

The village women OF Holland take
special care TO keep the tips Of their
white lace hoods stiff with starch,
which is as necessary a perfection In
their toilet as polished linen and spot
less collars with ours. This delicate
hood is worn over n black skullcap
that fits the closely clipped head very
much like the headgear Of nun. The
elderly women, widows, often wear a
straw bonnet over II. A Jacket OF dark
blue. with a breastplece OF cream cloth
and dark blue border OF the same cloth
at the hips, constitutes the dress OF
the women and the girls.
The skirts protrude at the hips in a
grotesque fashion on account OF the
many flannels which they wind about
the body, evidently a fad with them
as with many peasants OF the Black
forest, where the custom prevails TO
wear as many skirts as the spare box
will allow, adding at least one skirt
every year. They all dress alike, and
the talk about dress therefore does not
slip into their conversations, and on
that score they are at eternal peace
with one another. for no change OF
dress has occurred among them for
centuries and will not for years to
come.-DOnahoe'R

The report having been circulated that it is not safe to visit
the city Of Greenwood owing to an epidemic of small px when
has prevailed during the last sixty days, the result OF when mas
prevented the farmers throughout the country from coming to
Greenwood and making their accustomed spring purchases, we, a
committee appointed by the Business League of Greenwood,
which League is composed Of the business men of Greenwood, de-
sire to assure the people throughout the country that there no
longer exists the least danger Of contracting the infection by those
who may come into the city,
While it is true that there have been a number of cases Of
small px among the negroes of the city, the number has been very
greatly reduced and the few cases yet remaining are isolated
and confined to the hospital and are far from the business part of
the city. 1t being our desire to deal perfectly honestly with the
people, we have called upon the city health officer for his opinion
regarding this matter and we herewith give his response thereto:
Greenwood, Miss. March 5th, 1000.

Dear Sir: Answering your inquiry as to whethert is safe for people

The city of Greenwood was never in better condition than it

that better bargains will be given them than can be secured else
