JUST FOR And
ABOUT WOMEN
Don't be Helpless

The helpless girl is as much out Of date
as the hoop-skirt.
No one has any use for her. Even
credulous man has ceased to be impressed
by her sweet, clinging ways, and prefers
her more self-reliant sister.
However there are still a few OF the
genus left, and it is for their benefit that
this little preachment is given.
The helpless woman is the most pre-
eminently selfish Of all women.
And the worst of it is that it is a very
hard selfshness to fight against, as she Is
usually sweet-tempered in her tyranny.
All women see through her, but men are
more obtuse, and very often look upon her
as a sweet. abused piece Of femininity, Of
whom other women are jealous
A man holds this view until he marries
the sweet, abused one, and then he finds
that he has saddled himself for life with
an appallingly helpless burden.
The helplessness that he found so at
tractive in the sweetheart is anything but
attractive in the wife.
She shifts the responsibility of wifehood,
motherhood and home on any shoulders
that will assume them, and il she finds
no one willing TO undertake them she
washes her hands Of them, trusting to
luck.
And that is the kind Of wife the helpless
girl makes.
In her home life before marriage she is
always the one who gets up last in the
morning, and shirks work all day long.
She is perfectly sweet-tempered over it
all. Her plea is always that she "doesn' t
know how"
Tears come easily to her eyes. She
knows the power of her babyish. appeal
ing way. and uses il to the utmost.
With her family she is frankly helpless
and lazy. With men she has a wistful,
please-take-care-of-me air that appeals
to their chivalry.
If she is plain they are not easily i'm
posed upon, but if she is pretty they are
lost.
Today, however, men are beginning to
realize that the self-reliant girl is not
necessarily unfeminine, and that she
makes a better friend or wife than the
girl who is sweet and helpless
Sometimes when the self-reliant girl
sees how easily her helpless sister goes
through life and how much is done for
her she is moved to envy. and she wond-
ers if, after ALL it is worth while to be
capable.
II it is any comfort to her she can be
assured that capability. as long as it is
kept in womanly channels, is the very
best asset she can have.
The helpless girl is daily growing more
and more Of back number and some
time in the near future when man comes
quite to his proper senses, she will be an
utterly unknown quantity.

only a few idlers cheered them. At the
entrance they found the police COM

singly. He was roughly thrust aside
and maltreated, while the procession,
dripping and with muddy boots.
swarmed into the chamber over the
gorgeous carpeting and advanced to
the guards of the presidents tribune.
consisting of 40 met, with a roar OF
execration and ordered them to quit
the chamber.
A scum with the guards then
ensued. The deputies fought their way

tered the wreckage over the house, tore
to atoms the codes of law on the presi-
dents table, smashed the tables and
chairs. and destroyed the dais and dis
tributed the broken pieces among the
deputies, who, thus armed. attacked
the guards. and after brief fight drove
them from the house. The desks wer'
then torn down and the interior Of The
house was almost completely wrecked

NO SUBSTITUTE

has yet been found for cod

extracts, wines and cordials of
cod liver oil that are said to
contain the active principles
but not the oil itself. This is
absurd on its face. You might
as well extract the active prin-
ciples of wheat and make
bread with them. The best

THE LIFE OF A BATTLESHIP.
First-Class Fighting Vessel Costs
Eight Million Dollars and
Lasts But IL Years.

A modern navy is not one of the
cheap luxuries, says the Pathfinder.
Senator Hale stated that the navy de-
partment proposed to retire the battle-
ships Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts
and Texas to the purposes of coast de-
Tense in 1908. The Oregon was
launched only in 1896, so that her life
as first-class fighting ship will be
only twelve years.
The Oregon cost $5,OOO,O0O, but tho
battleships now are costing 100000.
Any warship now becomes virtually
obsolete in a dozen or fifteen years,
and we must figure on practically re-
placing our navy at the end of that
period. A merchant steamer lasts on
the average 20 years.
1t is we'll known that the big naval
guns are also very short-lived. The
biggest ones are worthless after a
hundred shots. The metal becomes
crystallized by the shock of the ex-
plosion and loses its tensile strength,
thus making it dangerous. Hence
bombardment costs not only in the
ammunition used, but even more in
the wear and tear on the gun itself.
Naval authorities speak of these things
lightly, for it is not their own money
that is being spent, but as matter
of fact warship is the most ex-
pensive thing imaginable to run.

lust before the clock says bedtime
There's a nightie on chair,
There's a baby growing sleepy.
There's head of tousIed hair
Struggled up against my bosom.
There are eyes that bravely try
To stay open; but it's bedtime,
And my baby whispers: Bye"
"Bye," she says: she knows she's going
Where the dreamland blossoms blow;
'.Bye," she says, but blinks and struggles.
For she doesn't want to go;
And she snuggles closer, closer.
And her blue eyes softly close.
And her red lips smile half parted
Like the petals of rose.
She's her daddy's compensation
For all things. The world goes wrong.
Comes a loving baby whisper
And life breaks into song!
Comes the evening when the long day
Has been full of cark and care.
All of trouble-worry leaves me

Troubles and all worries leave me

Stands on watch; and more and more

MIGHT "coRNER" TOBACCO,
Great Increase in CONSUMPTION Of
Cigar Leaf in Ten Years Ex-
ceeds the Production.

Because the government crop reports
show shortage of about $50 0CO bales
IN the cotton crop, the cotton market
mas gone crazy on the advance of the
price OF cotton, which amounts any
how to only a few cents. But what
would the state of mind be of specu-
lators in cotton and cereals if they had
to reckon with such shortages as ex-
listed in the cigar leaf market for the
last few years and may last some years
more? asks the Tobacco Journal. The
non-existence of tobacco exchange is
no doubt responsible for the lack of
speculative fever and frenzy, with their
ups and downs, that would otherwise
dominate the leaf market just as well
as they do in every market where prod
ucts are dealt with on an exchange.
The increase in the consumption of
cigar leaf in the last decade amounted
to nearly 33,000,000 pounds, and this
was an official showing, which is short
many millions of the actual consump-
ton, and in no year since 1898 has the
production kept pace with the increase
In consumption. Suppose tobacco ex-
change had these facts to gamble on,
what a harvest they would have fur
nished for the bulls to feast on! If
the gamblers on the various exchanges
had only an inkling of the condition
OF the leaf market they would hardly
hesitate very long to organize tobacco
exchange and transfer their operations
to one of the most speculative products
of the country. And then prices would
jump, in comparison with which the ex-
citement on the cotton exchange would
be only tame affair.

the proper way to overcome the danger
is not to stop eating clans or oysters,

says that the common practice of dip

advises boiling more thoroughly and

cooking by steam. He says that if three

time, ten minutes are sufficient for the
lower layer and Is for the two others.
