GOOD ROADS.

The Issuance of the Money Direct to
the People.
A late issue of the Missouri World
contains the following statement of
facts:
Populists are opposed to the Republi-
can policy of issuing money to national
banks. They would issue the money
direct to the people without the inter-
vention of banks. If the government
would withdraw the money issued to
national banks and issue it to the peo-
pie, say for example, to build wagon
roads, $4,000 miles of wagon roads could
be made at $1,000 per mile. This, with
out increasing the money volume dol
lar, just simply issuing the money direct
to the people instead of indirectly
through national banks. This would
employ 100000 men for seven years, or
100000 men for one year. Good roads
would help everybody. Say 500 men
working in the construction of roads in
county and getting their 50 in cash
every Saturday would be likely to help
out the merchant and bring country pro-
duce in lively demand All this would
be better than issuing money to the
NOR shaver, wouldn't it? This is one
way to get the money in circulation. The
Peoples party favors Issuing money
direct to the people without Intervention
of banks, and this building of roads is
one way to carry out this Populist de-
mand.

The attention of boards of health has
been called to the possible spread OF
contagious diseases by fruit peddlers un-
less vigilance is exercised. Much of the
fruit sold in Northern cities, especially
bananas, Is bought by the peddlers while
1t is green. 1t is ripened by covering ii
with cloths and keeping it in a warm
room; and even ripe fruit, when sold
upon the street in cold weather, is COW
cred with cloths to keep it from freez-
ing. These cloths are too often soiled
blankets or cast-off clothing, from which
disease germs may easily be transferred
Though boards of health may do their
best, it would seem to be a wise precau-
ton to peel all fruit bought of peddlers

The United States as a World Power.
The costs Of preparation for the coming
conflict are likely to be too heavy for any
but the greater nations to bear. Italy and
Spain are already making under the load
of military equipment out of proportion
to their resources; and France. in spite
of her steadily growing wealth, is assuming
heavy burdens. The French ministry, in
submitting the annual estimates in jan
uary last, proposed a scale Of expenditure
for new naval vessels amounting to 900,
600, 900 francs for the period of seven years
ending with 1907.
Concentration of power, in order to per-
NIT prompt and efficient action. will be an
almost essential factor in the struggle for
world empire, SO far as the struggle is
conducted in the political field. The people
of the United States may have something
to learn in this respect. "A greater har
mony of policy between the legislative and
executive departments Of the government
and broad powers for the executive in deal
Ing with foreign relations, need not be in
consistent with industrial liberty and the
freedom of political discussion at home. In
this field an absolute government. like that
of Russia, enjoys some advantages in it's
ability to make quick decisions, and execute
them without waiting for the slow rpen-
Ing Of public opinion. What is determined
upon by the carr and the council of min
listers can be executed without consulting
the SLOW ana Jealous processes OF parl1a-
mentary legislation.
An illustration of the power which abso-
lutism gives Is afforded by the recent loan
to Persia, made by the Russian government
in return for the control Of the Persian GUS
toms, at the very moment when the diff
fculties of Great Britain in South Africa
were most acute. 1t Is well suggested by
the ''Moniteur dss Interets Materiels.'' the
Belgian financial journal, that neither Great
Britain, In spite of her imperial policy. nor
republican France, would think Of follow
ing such an example, and that even the
German empire drew back before the project
Of effective Intervention on recent oc-
casiOn-the creation OF railways in the
Chinese province of Shan Tung. But the
Russian government, drawing from the
limitless resources Of international finance,
through the medium OF new bank estab-
lished in Persia, has been able, almost by
the stroke Of pen and with only a trfiing
cost to the imperial treasury, even il the
whole principal of the loan were lost, to
acquire a dominant influence at the court
of Teheran. which will make Persia a Rus
sian camp in case Of conflict with Great
Britain over British India. Already, within
a few weeks after the completion of the
loan. 1t has been announced by leading
Russian journal that Russia will rent

thur from China) in order to obtain an out

Ladies' Fancy Waist, No. 1896.
The smart and attractive waist illus
trated is almost universally becoming,
and is suited both to the thin ma
terials of midsummer wear fOulards and
the soft wool stuffs of early autumn use.
The yoke and the waist proper are laid
over a foundation which fits snugly to
the figure, and closes at the center front.
The yoke is attached to the right side
only, and hooks we'll into place, but the
full; soft portion comes together with
the lining, the closing being concealed
by the folds. The fichu, which outlines
the yoke, is singularly graceful, and is
so shaped as to provide folds without
the least suggestion of clumsiness. The
sleeves are both quaint and effective
The upper portions fit smoothly, and are
laid over lining of the same shape
They are faced and turned up at the
elbows to form cuffs. The full under
portions show one seam, and are gather
ed into band at the wrists, below which
fall straight frills, and the again gath
cred at the top and felled onto the lining
beneath the elbow cuffs. AS shown, the
yoke, as we'll as the undersleeves, is
transparent, the lining being cut away
on the line indicated The materials
chosen for the model are figured foulard
in pastel blue and white, over-all-net.
with collar and frill of harmonizing lace.
For later wear challis, cashmere and
suitings are all appropriate in combin-
alton with heavy lace or soft Liberty
silks.
To cut this waist for lady of medium
size 2 ga yards of material "A inches
wide, or yards 80 inches wide, with
1-S yards of net 18 inches wide will be
required.
The pattern, No. 1896, is cut in sizes
for 81, "a, SO, 50 and 40-inch bust meas
ure.

A Vital Point.

Because a knowledge of 1t does not
come by nature any moro than knowl-
edge of arithmetic or sewing, and be-
cause its intelligent practice is the
foundation Of health, all women ought to
know something of the laws Of SANTA
lon. A writer In Harper,s Basar says:
1t IL woman's divinely appointed duty
to watch over all processes that go to
the building up Of healthy body-pro-
cesses far more under human control
than the unrefecting imagine; and
though we are not accustomed to think
of moral qualities as the outcome of
physical conditions, when one has seen
an amiable and mild-mannered man
transformed into an irascible curl, under
the pain Of an ache in the face or a
jumping toothache, one perceives the
connection.
What is sanitation? It is the practical
application of sanitary science and the
laws of hygiene to the preservation Of
health.
Another definition might be, defend
ing the body from any influence that can
tnjure 1t or obstruct it's functions; and
this. under the comprehensive title Of
preventive Medicine" has become one
of the commonest of the current phrases
of the day.
Seventeen years ago the late DIR. B. w.
Richardson fhon nraoidonf ~ tho BRIT.
ish Medical society. said: Il would
strongly enforce that it Is the woman
on whom full sanitary light requires to
fall. Health in the home is health
everywhere; elsewhere it has no abiding
place. have been brought by expert
ence to the conclusion that the whole
future of the sanitary movement rests
for permanent and executive support on
the women of the country. The men of
the house come and go, know little of
the ms and outs of anything domestic,
are guided by what they are told, and
are practically Of no assistance what
ever.
The women are conversant. with every
nook of the dwelling, from basement to
roof, and on their knowledge, wisdom,
and skill the physician rests his hopes
when called to a case of contagious
disease. How important, then, how
vital, that they should learn as part of
their earliest duties the choicest SAM
