servant girl Is Il good deal of busi-

the wages, and she says she will stay.
Then you must go to the police station

spaces for all sorts of information
about the new girl" You must write
down her full name, where she came
from, whether married on single, her
trade, whether cook, chambermaid or
waitress, her birthday and year, her
nationality, her religion, her own
home, and If married how many minor
children she has, where they are and
who their guardian Is. The govern
ment always looks out we'll for the
children and sees that they are pro-
vided for comfortably, this being the
more necessary because many, perhaps
most, servants are married women
with typically large families. AT the
same time that this blank goes in the
"glrl" must also send blank report
ing her change of place. Having done
all this, you must see that the girl
pays her regular fees to the insurance
or death fund, so that she may net be-
come public charge in case Of her
death or disablement.

FOOLISH BILLS
Measures That Have Been Presented to Legislative Bodies

The legislatures of the various states in this country are responsible for some freaks in our laws that are extremely funny, says the Philadelphia Times. The last legisla- ture of the sovereign state of Missouri pass ed a bill called the pure beer law through both houses, and 1t was signed by the gov- ernor. This provides that mo person or persons of corporation engaged in the brew ing or manufacture of beer or other malt liouor shall use any substance, material or chemical in the manufacture of beer or other malt liquors other than pure hops or extract of hops, or pure barley, malt, or wholesome yeast or rice" Water Is not mentioned, and as nothing but the above substances may be used the people of Mis- souri are wondering whether they will take their beer in solid form or how. Perhaps some one will come out with beer tablets.
 Down in Texas the lower house passed what was called single tax law"-which 1t was with vengenance. It provided that every unmarried man over 30, who had not "exerted due diligence in getting married should pay a fine of $50 every year. In or der to define due diligence" the bachelors fine was to be remitted If he brought an affidavit from some reputable woman thai he had offered himself to her in marriage during the year.
 In 1897 the Missouri legislature also had q ',single tax law" but 1t took the othex

ion than do the dealer in cosmetics and face washes would soon go out of business. There would be nothing else for them to do.
 Now to my mind there is just one secret that a woman must learn before she can be beautiful, and that is that she must be healthy. Without health there can be no beauty, and the most irregular features are not unattractive when lighted by the glow of perfect health. That is the one thing that I have tried to remember all my life and I have also held that the only way to get this perfect health and to keep It was to take plenty of good active exercise. How to obtain the best exercise was the ques- tion.
 At first tried walking, and then I used a bicycle but neither were just what I wanted. Then a friend introduced me to the motor cycle, and the automobile, and I found that for which I had so long been searching.
 Since that time I have been what the Americans would call a "fend" after the motor machines. Every morning at 6 o'clock unless the weather Is very bad, I am out for my spin on the motor cycle. It is tricycle., rather heavier than those that are ordinarily used by women, but find no trouble in riding it.
 In taking this ride, of course, I dress in accordance with the weather. If 1t is cold I wear thick gown. If 1t Is warm, shirt waists and the boomers suffice. In the winter I need nothing to protect my eyes, because the sun is not hot, but when its rays are too bright I wear great. green. glaring goggles l know that they are hid- eous and that they make me look uRsightly enough as I go spinning along the road, but what is one to do? The eye specialists tell me that the sun makes the eye squint, and that it is the squinting of the eye that is responsible for the ugly little wrinkles that every woman wants to <void. As the

tack, and fined widows and maidens mot less than $100 nor over $500' for rejecting a man. It was finally amended to add to the darn the socks and sew on put,ors for the rejected suitor for six months. This laugh ed it out of the house.
 But the west Is not the only offender. New Jersey passed a law taxing bachelors in 1916, and, as its repeal was never heard of, it may be still accumularing dust among the archives, and is one of those things the executive swears to enforce. but does not know of and practically cannot know be cause there are so many of them But the 1898 New Jersey legislature sent to be en- grossed law for taxing bachelors. It is about on par with the one introduced in 1896, in the same state, prohibiting the pick ing of huckleberries with the feet.
 At Albany one of the Tammany legisla- tors, who did not know bill from a high wayman's billy, was told he ought to have a law named after himself, so he intro duced a measure and secured it's passage through the assembly which made fit a penal offense to put less than thirteen oys- ters in an oyster stew. This would be hard church fairs.
 But this Is not worse than the ordinance introduced into the common council of New York city. which its mover explained as fol- 1ows "One of the greatest perils of this big city, he said, 'is the danger of being run down by street cars. Every person hit by a street car Is struck by the front plat form- Ann I night? Of course, am. You never heard of @ man beingknocked down by the rear platform or by the side of the car.
