Ignorance OF Ourselves. /.

Practically every man knows the size
Of his collar, practically no man can
name the sizes of all his other habill-
ments. This Is the mature judgment of
a haberdasher's clerk of long expe.
rlence. mine men out of ten we have
to measure for their gloves. AS to
socks. the average man knows that his
size Is neither the largest nor the
smallest, and that is about all. Cuffs
we guess at, and in underclothing there
can be good margin Of error without
any serious consequences. Some of the
stores give away little souvenir tablets
on which man can make memoranda
of the sizes of all his clothes, but I
never knew but two men who carried
them after the first week. Another
queer thing which had occasion to no.
tice In another way is the number OF
men who don't know their height and
weight. things which you would think
every one would keep track of."-Ncw

As wage Garner the American
woman adds largely to the country's
output of energy; rs consumer she
creates two-thlrds of the demand, with
Its inevitable result Of supply; as an
inventor. designer and manufacturer
she enlarges the variety and activity
Of the worlds market; and as crea-
tor she enriches the imaginative prod
uct of the world. In all these. It is i'm
possible to divorce her interests from
those Of man, or make her more or less
than an individual with an individuals
place and power in the community. To
ask whether her elimination from the
commerce of the world would create
greater vacuum than the elimination
of man, would bring us back to the
elusiveness Of abstract and general dis.
cussion to which the American woman
can no longer be relegated. II is not
as woman in the abstract, but as WON

How to Be Charming.

A woman can make or mar her at.
tractiveness. She can, by an utter
disregard of hygienic laws and neg.
lect of toilet accessories. In the opinion
Of Home Chat, lose entirely that charm
of face and form that nature obviously
intended should be hers. A few drops
of soothing lotion will transform a
pair of rough hands into soft ones;
systematic care Of the complexion will
keep 1t smooth and ward Off wrinkles,
and an eagerness to read clever books
and to know things, and lively in.
terest in the current events oe the day.
Will brighten the eyes as nothing else
can. except 1t be the sympathy of the
man one loves. The woman possessing
this knowledge Is far more charming
and attractive than she in whose path
no beautifying whims have ever come.
And the woman who applies this
knowledge is the one who will develop
into the entertaining, interesting grand.
mother of the next generation, as
dainty and as youthful as was the
mother of the past generation.

three members, to which Is to be sub

or the committee are to he binding on
both parties to dispute, the penalty In
case of recalcitrant mistress being

to the headquarters of the association
Every maid on completing one year of
service in the family of one of the
members of the association Is to bo
given a diploma, and at the end OF the
second consecutive year Is given the
choice OF seal on her diploma or n
cash premium of $40, with an addition.
al prize of 50 for each succeeding year.
The association Is to establish an EN-.
ployment agency, and its constitution
provides that a maid, taken i'll after
four weeks service in a family, shall
be entitled to free medical attention.
The efforts of this association to bring
order out of the present chaotic condi.

In the ninth century bells We're made

elcFooT, THE GRIZZLY, DEAD.
Hs Is Thought to Have Killed 1000 Hend
of stock In His Lifetime.

Bigfoot is dead Only the remote
ranchers of the Pierce City district In
west central Idaho know the real sig.
nificance of the news. Bigfoot is a
grizzly and Is supposed In the last eight
years to have made away with 1000
head of stock.
Bigfoot's methods showed remarka.
BILE uniformity. One blow from his
monstrous foot would kill the strongest
steer or COW. and dragging his prey to
n secluded spot Bigfoot would eat the
choicest portions. He never gorged
himself. and before the stockmen dis.
covered his loss the bear would be
many miles away.
Here he would kill another COW and
disappear again. l.. G. Roberts alone
lost twenty-one head last season, the
work In each case being attributed to
Bigfoot.
Henry Shelby. cattlcmIn and
range rider of Kamiah. Idaho. gave the
following account of Blgfoot and his
operations.
"Bigfoot was the biggest grizzly
ever saw, and believe the biggest that
ever operated in Western Idaho. l
and other cowboys have seen him of.
ten enough, but generally we only had
our range revolvers on us, and were
scared to tackle him.
His beat was between Snake and
Salmon rivers around Whitebird In
wild mountain cattle country, and I
calculate his average was 125 or $50
cattle and horses in year. Probably
he has eaten 1000 head Of stock since
first the traces of his big feet began to
be noticeable in Idaho County. don't
know how old he Is.
"Bigfoot was wise even for a grizzly.
He would kill COW at one clip, eat
what he wanted, and never come back.
That was his cutest trait, and was the
one that saved him for so long. He
would kill three-year-old steer with.
out trouble. At one time there wns
$500 on his head and I think stock.
men will give about 5000 now for his
death"
Bigfoot was killed at Weippe. He
was sleeping In some brush when
Frank. Peters. Musselshall miner, ap.
preached, and as the monster raised
himself on his launches to see who the
Intruder was Peters shot him. Peters
is now collecting the reward offered by
the stockmen.
The bear weighed 900 pounds. Pet.
ers will keep the hide and the famous
foot for trophies. SO distant Is the wild

Tempcrature Of Ovens.

The proper temperature of the oven
for various mixtures often remains a
perplexlty to the young housewife after
other details have been conquered.
Here are n few suggestions: A cake
which Is made with butter needs a
moderate oven; a cake made without
butter wants a quick oven. For small
cakes and cookies the oven should be
moderately quick. Cakes that have an
admixture of molasses burn more eas.
lily than others. and should be watched
closely. They require a moderate oven.
If the cake browns too quickly after
going into the oven there Is too much
heat. Remove lid from the top of
the stove or put into the oven a dish
containing cold water.
