In the New Zealand town of Nelson
woman has been asserting her rights
in quite new direction. A local lady
recently secured a cab and horse and
entered into competition with the Je-
hus of the town, who at once took
alarm and protested that she had no
license. This difficulty was quickly
overcome, and the lady ''cabby" en-
tered the lists on equal terms in that
respect. Now with her smart turnout
she is securing all the fares she can
find time to drive.

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

name of large wood that lay just off
the main road and appealed to a pass

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Fashions In Furniture.

One man is largely responsible for
the requirements of house decoration
today. Years ago William Morris be-
gan it, when by proxy he threw from
our mothers windows the white cotton
tides with which they were wont to
decorate their homes and opened the
eyes Of few to the fact that elab-
crate gingerbread decoration and cheap
wood brilliantly vanished were not
art. Then began the introduction of a
few good pieces, survivals of an artistic
decoration ended SO suddenly after
Sheraton's day century before or
copies made by the occasional far
sighted manufacturer. Yet at best
these pieces were rare and used with
out any regard to their surroundings,
although through them we learned a
little about the furnishings of the diff
ferent periods and could talk under
standingly of colonial and Heppel-
white and Sheraton and Flemish and
mission furniture and pointed with
pride to our various possessions, never
realizing that the hopeless medley Of
our furnishings was only shade less
inartistic than the gaudy vanished
pieces that preceded them.
Now all is changing. In the first
place. the shops no longer offer any eX-
cept pieces definitely copied from some
famous workers designs or else adapt
ed and modernized, retaining all the
decided characteristics. No longer must
you buy chair or table because you
like it. You must buy it for certain
place In your house, because 1t is now
out of the question to have Ch!ppen-
dale chair, mission table, colonial wall
paper and Heppelwhite bed all in the
same room. Your furniture and wall
paper and draperies and carpet must
all be selected with definite knowledge
of what is what, and fortunate indeed
for most of us 1t Is that the salesman
knows and can tide us over the diff
Guilty.

JOHNNY'S PA.

My pa he always went to school,
He says an studied hard.
wy, when he's just as old as me,
He knew things by the yard!
Arithmetic? He knew 1t ALL.
From dividend to sum,
But when he tells me how 1t was
My grandma she says, "Hum!
My pa he always got the prize
For never bein' late.
An when they studied joggerfy
He knew bout ev'ry state.
He says he knew the rivers an
Knew all their outs an ins.
But when he tells me all of that
My grandma she just grins.
My pa he never missed a day
A-goin' to the school
An never played no hockey nor
Forgot the teachers rule,
An ev'ry class he's ever in
The rest he always led.
My grandma, when pa talks that way
Just laughs an shakes her head
My grandma says at boys is boys,
The same as pas is pas,
An when l asst her what she means
She says 1t is because
She says at little boys is best
When they grows up to men,
Because they know how good they were
An tell their children then.

The woman who is awakened by the
hrst streak of dawn will do well to
drink cup of hot cocoa if many hours
are to elapse before breakfast Is
served. Cocoa furnishes both food
and drink and is easily digested by
most people. 1t will relieve any faint
feeling and give one the necessary
strength to dress. The cocoa may be
made the night before and can be heat
ed III three minutes over an alcohol
lamp If tue cocoa is made with fresh
milk, it will keep perfectly overnight.

Why Diseases Become Chronic.
Nerve Force Regarded by
Scientists as More Import
ant Than the Blood.
A $4.oo TREATMENT FREE.

The blood was formerly regarded as
the life giving principle and to its con-
dition was attributed all that there was
OF health or Illness. Now, psychologists
know that nerve force and vitality are
the same, and that the constitution,
good or bad, depends upon nerve force.
Nerve force controls all motion, SEN
sation, digestion and nutrition. An
abundance of this subtle energy means
health and vigor; a lack of 1t causes
| general debility, nervous prostratlon,
| premature decline, disease and death.
| Nerve force is chiefly generated In the
brain, and therefore in the treatment
of all lingering diseases the condition
of the brain centers should be carefully
| considered and treated. One great
cause of diseases becoming chronic Is
that physicians overlook the fact that
deficiency of nerve force is the chief
cause of most diseases. Nervous pros
tration is due to lack of nerve force.
DR.. Miles Neuropathc Treatments

centers. They are the result of twenty
five years careful study, extensive re-
search and remarkable success. They

force, and have won for Dr. Miles the

THE WAITRESS COMPLETE.

en- Magazine, is very convenient la
Dor saver, combining the convenience
of the serving table with the utility of
the dinner wagon IA small folding ta-
bic on casters used largely in restau-
rants as temporary receptacle for
supplies).
The waitress" in question is made
from a firm box 90 inches long, II
inches wide and IL inches deep. -Four
pieces of smooth by 9 lumber, each
fourteen inches long, are required to
form the legs. The top of the box,
supported by Stats, forms one shelf.
The board that is to be the base of
the serving table must then be taken
off and the four corners sawed out to
admit the legs. After the holes are
sawed out the board must be replaced,
the legs set up in the box two or three
inches, or high enough to allow the
shelf to rest upon them, and the whole
fastened together firmly. 1t is good
plan to nail board about two inches
wide across the front to hold in the
numerous dishes which will be placed
there later. A railing or boarding is
put on three sides of the top, and four
casters complete the structure. At
meal times the "waitress' stands by
the hostess, with dessert or any other
additional dish on its shelves. Plates
and dishes removed during the meal
are placed in it and the extra course
put on the table. After the meal all
the dishes are placed on the serving ta-
BILE, which is then rolled into the kitch-
en-, saving many unnecessary steps.

CAMPAIGN DOCUMENTS.
Many Sent Out by the Republican
Committed

The document department of the repub-
hcan congressional committee, located in
this city, has, up to today, sent out 1000
copies of the republican text book The
entire edition of the text book aggregates
$4,000 copies. OF the number sent out H.
600 have gone to chairmen of state commit
tees and 10000 have gone to republican
nominees for Congress.
There have also been sent out about
100000 copies of speeches. These are the
speeches of Representative Cooper of VIM
consin on Civil Government for the Phil
1ppine Islands," Representative Lands of
Indiana on the Philippine question Repre-
sentative Hamilton of Michigan on
Trusts" and Senator Gallnger of New
hampshire on Prosperity and Protective
Iarin. About equal numbers of each
speech have gone out. although the num-
Der OF Senator Gaifinger's speech is in ex-
cess of any other pamphlet. These speeches
nave gone to every part of the country.
Inc nature of the speech having the wild
est circulation is to some extent an indica-
tlon of the issues assuming the most prom
nence In the campaign, as the nominee in
each district is free to select the class of
literature he thinks is most important As
speeches are printed by the congressional
committee they are sent to all the republi-
can nominees for Congress- and after ex-
amining them they give an order for
those they think are most needed in their
districts
