TREATMENT OF HAeITUAL GRIM
iNACS.

The test of the haDitual criminal is
the lack OF response to reformative
Influences. The beginner in crime.
whatever his temperament or his ap-
parent hardness OF heart, is entitled
to at least one opportunity to show
whether he is thus amenable to re-
formatory influences or not. If not
and he persists in criminal action,
the interest of society would seem to
demand the indeterminate sentence
and he must be made to understand
that, having forfeited his chance to
shape his own career, he belongs to
the state, and that whether his i'm
prisonment lasts for shorter or
longer period depends upon himself.

THE PATIENT BRAIN,

The brain is one of the most pa
tent and Industrious organs of the
body. 1t can be induced. by good
treatment, to perform prodiges of la
hor. Few realize its capabilities and
endurance. But it is sensitive. 1t
VIII not long brook abuse. 1t briskly
responds to the whip at first, but il
the lash is laid on too hard and too
often it balks. 1t insists upon having
plenty of good, red blood when it
works hard; and good, red blood is
made from wheat and roast beef, not
from pie la mode, lobster salad and
cocaine or whiskey. The most essen
tlal thing for the man who works
with his brain is plenty Of sleep.
only in sleep does the brain hnd the
rest and refreshment that are neces.
sary TO maintain its vigor and integ.
rity,-Chicago Tribune.

shirrs, gathers and fine tucks-is .
useful addition to any woman's ward
robe. Chiffon cloth is good fabric
to use. and the effect of the waist INDY
be cleverly changed many times by its
trimming. A vine of velvet flowers
makes an attractive decoration for tho
corsage and the sleeves. Bands of ir.-
descent sequins may also be charming
ly introduced and painted Iaces and
also sequin scattered laces combine
effectively with the chiffon cloth.
With dressy waist like this a pic

New and Novel.

A tangerine chiffon cloth waist,
trimmed with white velvet flowers en-
broidered in silver threads, would have
much beauty added to it by being
worn with picture hat of white chif
fon cloth and velvet, the high crown
encirced with vine of the white vel
vet flowers and cluster of taneerine
and white ostrich tips caught at the
left side, where the brim should CO.
quettishly flare. Picture hats having
the high crown wound with stuffed silk
cords have a soft and pretty touch
given them by introducing fluffy frills
of lace for the wide brim. Very many
of the picturesque dress hats are trim
med with either long, shaded ostrich
plume, a group of ostrict tips or a
very long, graceful Paradise plume.
White plush Directoire hats are very
smart in style. with long white os-
trich feather for the trimming. which
shows at the tip some pretty delicate
or perhaps brilliant color, which in
one way or another appears in tne
gown with which the hat is worn.

ANOTHER TOY OF SCIENCE.

A few years ago the scientific SEN
sation was liquid air as recently it
has been radium. Liquid air was to
turn all our wheels, heat our houses
in winter, and cool them in summer
liquid air was to destroy our garbage,
anaesthetiZe all our pain and usher in
a new era. 1t was soberly argued by
men who made claim to scientific
knowledge that liquid air could be
used to run compressOrs to make
more liquid air and thus, with thin
bleful at the start a force could be
created strong enough to pry the
earth from its orbit. A sad commen-
tary on these high hopes is an item
to the effect that judgment of $s73
against the company owning the pat
ent has been returned unsatisted.
Liquid air is as wonderful as it ever
was, but wonderfulness is not useful
ness. Science also has it's toys

RISE OF CIVIC HONESTY,

FOR ten years public morals have

code OF party ethics that he who ex-

'Ae last four years has there been

Si4erable sentiment favorable to the
public servant who exposed a fellow
servant whom he caught stealing. But
win the visible growth of moral per-
'eptlon in matters political among the
people the lever of the party system
may begin to act for the people.
Hut when civic honesty is as force

chastity, for instance, when civic hon

winch people are willing to sacrifice
'h'lr personal comfort and pay extra
taxes to maintain. then, and not be-

To- bring about such a condition
means more for America than the ad-

SOUR MILK AS A LIFE SAVER.

Some actresses have advertised
that they take buttermilll baths (and
it Is better to take buttermilk baths
than none at alb, but it remained for
Prof. Ellie Metchnikoff of the Pasteur
institute of London to discover the
efficacy of sour milk as life-preserv-
ing potation. 1t is feared that many
persons will be so unappreciatiVe OF
the scientific achievement of Prof.
Metchnikoff that they would rather
take on age than take in sour milk.
However, if it came to the last pinch,
where a man must decide between
the cold grave and glass OF sour
milk, some of the more timid would
doubtless take the milk.-Washington

TALK ON ADVERTISING


Some thoughtful man might say that
II what you manufacture has merit,
once you get trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase. even IL
the advertising is stopped. but to act
on that conclusion would be fatal
mistake. for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap-
pies. and II you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not shingle nail but forty penny
spike. Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary un-
advertised thing. 1t should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
a foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per-
sons ignorant enough to believe that
q poor article can be advertised into
a success. 1t cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critically examine
any we'll known and advertised article
that has been years on the market and

apple tree Of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree into a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
1t needed sunshine and the kind Of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
Lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus given-in other words, the

have developed.

on the globe. and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 9 years old. We
have found it necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine
day in and day out, month in and

amounting to approximately million
dollars year for advertising, for ex-

the tree under strong sunshine, and

state where it produces profitable ap-
pies. you can not withdraw that SUM-

EARLY MARRIAGES AND SUCCESS

We are used to look grave when
young man takes wife unto hlmseh
with what seems to us to be undue
precipitation. and if presently we see
a yeung family growing punctuaily up
around him maybe we wag our heads
bit and say it was pity that young
Buxton did not wait until he had got
4 round or two further up the ladder'
We say we don't like to sec likely
young fellow overweighted at the
start, and we know of men OF prom
Use who incurred domestic blessings
so early in life and in such NUMBERS
that all their lives they never did bet
ter than to stagger on under their
load. We say they never had
chance to get where they belonged,
and we fear it is going to be 80 win
that young Buxton.
But if Buxton has got his start and
seems to be the right sort, and II that
demure young Lucy seems to have
some hard sense and due constancy,
in whatever disguise under her rib
bors and muslin, let's not croak un-
duly ror forecast lot of bogy trou-
bles that are not actually in sight
Keeping body and soul together is not

Some Pretty Blouses.

For hOusewear some Of the prettiest
blouses are developed from chaIIis
in delicate figures. with touch OF lace
in the form of jabot and sleeve ruf-
nes. Down the front of the blouse
the jabot is criss-crossed with velvet
ribbon held in place on either side
with diminutive fiat bows; or larger
bows of velvet ribbon, tied in butter
fly design and nesting in the lace,
are fastened at intervals down the
center of the front. The velvet ribbon
matches the most pronounced tone In
the figure of the challis and the Iaro

AIIurina Models in Fall Wraps.

There can hardly be said to be any
distinct fashions for either house
dresses or ball gowns for the autumn
months, but rather advance winter
styles are worn for what few informal
affairs there are during the day-and.
needless to state, ball is almost as
unheard of in October as is snow
storm in August. 1t is then more
with outdoor costumes-tailor suits.
cloaks, wraps and bats-that one has
to deal at this time of year. and most
alluring are all the models in long
coats and jackets now to be procured
This year the separate wrap forms
more than ever an all important part
of a complete outfit, and three, four.
five or more handsome wraps are con
sidered by no means an unnecessary
or extravagant number of expensive
cloaks to be possessed at once. One
reason for this is that the gowns to-
day are made up in such bright and
varied colors that the wrap must either
tone in most perfectly with some color
scheme employed or else match exact
ly the shade of the dress. White
cloaks are still smart but are not seen
in such numbers-for which we should
really be thankful-as last year. A
dark red, cream or handsome black
peau de sole or brocade cloak can also
be worn with a quantity of different
shades; but as can easily be seen one
tires very shortly of an all white or
all black WraD unless there be some
garments with which it may be worn
interchangeable to relieve the monot-
ony.

The sunshine that makes business
plant grow il advertising.
Growing business nowadays Is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with 1t, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiK-
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of 1t. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine Of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is good illus
tration of that law. 1t seems but
short time ago when put few men
at work in the carriage house Of the
barn you have seen to-day. where we
began making Postum coffee.

years ago, was a new kind Of apple
seed and 1t was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
