VOGUE FOR HAIR ORNAMENTS

VOGUE FOR HAIR ORNAMENTS.
One would think by the gorgeous dis
play of combs and pins for women's
hair that the fad started by Cleopatra
had once more become prevalent. That
women are trying to enhance their
locks by the aid of barbaric decorate
seems to be assured. Much money il
expended on these trivial bits Of fem
ininity every season, although they
have never been quite 80 expensive be-
fore. The combs are trimmed with
gold, sometimes heavily. and are set
with stones of all colors, shapes and
sizes. They are made in all manner of
ways, the designs arranged most artis-
tically.
The wealthy women have their combs
made to 1T their heads. and they also
select their own designs. Side combs,
Of course. cannot afford to be SO mas
sive, but the designs are made to
match. The use of the ordinary hair
pin has become a thing of the past.
Now women are pinning their hair en-
tirely with large tortoise affairs, which
are neatly trimmed with bands Of gold
or silver. and since the hair has be-
come fashionable at the back of the
neck they show of to good advantage.

NERVOUSNESS IN CHILDREN.

&NhpVSOcA$AcC AHN SA4AAOAhkSAN.
Curing the nervous habits or tricks"
Of children IL one of the most insistent
problems facing parents. The problem
IL made particularly difficult because
the habits come 20 quietly that we find
them established before we have really
noticed them. Some habits are caused
by disordered nerves. and In such a
case the doctor must be consulted.
Twitching of the face or limbs. open
ing of the mouth, blinking the eyes.
hesitation of speech. are all indications
that something is wrong. and no child
must be punished for them; indeed,
mere punishment never does any good
either to the tricks dependent on bad
health or on those of imitation. De-
fectlve sight IL the cause of many so
called tricks; child whose vision is
faulty screws up his eyes or scowls in
his efforts to adapt his powers of sight.
In such case an optician or oculist
should be called in and the sight
tested. A bad habit is simply repeated
action. and 1t is only by persistently
stopping it that one can hope to eradi-
cate it.-Woman's Life.

POISON IN DRESS FABRICS.

The London Lancet. always on the
outlook for anything detrimental to
health. has something to say on the use
of arsenic In the preparation of many
dyes:
I'VE hold ut says that 1t is just MS
important that our clothing, and espe-
cially that which is worn next to the
skin, should be free from arsenical
compounds as our food. Arsenic is
readily absorbed by the skin. and
symptoms Of arsenical poisoning may
easily arise from the presence of the
metal In a garment. Precipitation that
has the property of dissolving many
metallic substances which would be
otherwise untouched. We object to the
present practice of loading dress mate
rails with mineral substances"
Wooden garments, silk goods and no
siery. are often CONTAMINATED" in this
way. "At least fifty per cent. of the
cheaper forms Of hosiery contain very
distinct quantities of arsenic, the
amount rising in some cases to as
much as half grain per pair Of stock
ings."

PROOF THAT SENTIMENT LIVES.

PROOF THAT SENTIMENT LIVES.
There was fresh proof offered at the
sailing time and place Of the Oceanic
that all the world loves lover. Just
to get the last bit of essence Of sweet
ness from parting kiss 4 man bound
for the other side. let the gangplank be
pulled from his reach and the ship be-
gan to push from the shore. But the
ships officers and the attendants on
the deck could not permit such q cruel
punishment Of a bit Of displayed affec-
ton to 60 further, and orders were
given that sent the ship and the gang
plank back for the lover. And 20 he
went aboard. and his nancee melted
from view among the watching crowd.

number of male names on the register of elect
ors was 81 9O3 A comparison of the number
of votes cast and the number of people Of voting
age will show that i'll many counties, Ramsey
and Hennepn included, less than half of those
of voting age voted, while in St. Louis county
less than third cast their ballots. The same
is true of many of the newer counties on ac-
count of the large percentage of foreign born
who have not yet qualified for voting. In some
of the older counties the number voting shows
larger proportion, in Wright county, for in
stance there being less than zoe old enough to
vote who did not do so. In Stevens county the
males of voting age number 1854, while the
total number of male votes was $50.

The politicians in the Legislature want to
loot the state highway fnnd again, after increas-
ing it 1ve-fold by taxation.
The state has had small road and bridge
fund for many years. It has been divided up
by every legislature in a sort of "pork bilP'
among the political friends and followers of
members in the various counties. 1t has been
frittered away on fragmentary and haphazard
work without the least improvement to the
roads of the state.
The 1ooting of this road and bridge fund
entrenched in the legislature. In spite of in
creasng interest in good roads, it took cam
paign of several years to force the Legislature
to amend the constitution and pass law put
ting this fund in the hands of a state commits
sion for rational expenditure in effective road
work on uniform system
That was done only last winter. The gov
ernor will appoint the commission early next
year But the legislature, while pretending to
surrender it's loot with one hand reached the
other around corner to snatch it back increas-
ed five fold.
A constitutional amendment was SUNG
gled thru at the last session increasing the g-
way tax from one-twentieth mill to one-fourth
mill and withdrawing authority for state high
way commission. That will put i've times as
much public money back into the Legislative
grab bag to be parceled out among the various
local political machines.
OF course the bare proposal Of this new
amendment does not alter the state highway
law. We trust that the governor will make
haste to appoint the commission and set it to
work, SO as to demonstrate the superior value
of systematic, expert road work. Then we think
the people can be depended on to kill the legis-
lative looting amendment when it comes before
them for ratification Minneapolis Tribune

NOT TOO rlUcH HARMONY.

The Owatonna Journal, of the cleanest
and ablest of southern Minnesota papers, in a
very thoughtful editorial on the nomination of
becoming too active in their own behalf. To
this sentiment we subscribe. But we are not
sure that the following is safe admonition:
"It is desirable not only that candidates
should be passive in their own behalf but also
that enthusiastic and partisan support of candi-
dates be discouraged"
If all candidates were equally worthy this
would be all right-but there Republicans
who believe in the policy of Theodore Roose-
welt and who want that'sort of a man to be at
the head of affairs in Minnesota man who is
for honest administration of affairs, and who
has a record consistent with this policy. This
kind of a man is not going to be nominated
while his friends talk about harmony, and do
nothing but talk. About convention time they
will wake up to the fact that the corporations
and the would be bosses have their own can
didates selected. Harmony is all right in spots
but if it means that decent people must keep
still while the grafters quietly gather in the
gates-excuse US. Men like La Toilette
and Curnnins and Folk out by try
ing to harmonic their enemies. They got
into the game and fought like heroes They
fought for prncple-and Minnesota Repub1i-
cans have either got to get together on some
man like Jacobson Lord Eddy-or else
they will be again sold out to the corporations
and it will be Gov. johnson another term.
Right now it looks though Jacobson had the
lead and if his friends become convinced that
he will accept the nomination, look out for
him. That will probably mean a corporation
in the field. In.that event is there
anything for Republicans who love their party
to do but get out and tight and fight hard?-St
Cloud JJouInal-Press.

FOR LIEUT. dovERNoR--ANDREW PETERSON.
The Wilkin County Gazette proposes
Andrew Peterson of Wheaton for lieutenan,
governor, urging him a self-made man, a
staunch republican and as fully equipped
for the position. All of which is absolutely
true.-Ortonvlle Herald Star.
The Herman Review and Ortonville Her
a1d-Star approve of the suggestion of the
Breckenridge Gazette that Andrew Peterson of
Wheaton, would make excellent to
preside over the state senate Mr.. Peterson is
a clean, able and successful business man, aud
as a member of the house had made a good
record and no votes to explain" when he re-
turned home He has host of friends in
Grant county who would be pleased to have
him become caudidate-Elbow Lake Herald
The suggestion of Mr.. Peterson for leuten-
ant-goyernor is good one and right in line
with what the country editors have been de-
handing for several months back. Forlieuten-
ant governor, we want good man who is free
from any suspicion of being the tool of the cor
porations
Merry Christmas to all our readers.
We missed J. J. Hills speech from the
Browns Valley Tribune.
Certain interests III the Twin Cities are
pushing the creation of a forest reserve in
Northern Minnesota earlier they pushed the
retention of the dams i'm the upper Mississippi |
We cannot help but feel that both of these
matters are being pushed in order to conserve
the selfish interests of the lum berrnen and
millers, but nevertheless there is a large ele-
ment OF good that cannot be ignored It is de- |
sireable to keep the Mississippi navigable
stream in order that the latent competition it |
affords to the railroads may keep freights rates
at fair level. And it is also desirable that
the timber wealth of Northern Minnesota be
conserved, andsthe timber removed in such as
way as to leave immature trees. But as a
corral1ary to the forest reserve agitation. it is
also apparent that the private owners OF tracts
of timber should be compelled to use the same
scientific methods for the conserving Of thel
forests. A little government regulation OF
the rate Of cutting timber would be good
thing for the whole people.

According to the figures the population
Of voting age is 574,s39 The bureau has not
ascertained how many of these are legal voters

After a New Depot.

At a special meeting of the
board of directors of the CONNER
cial club a few days ago, a memo
rial was ordered drawn to be pre-
sented to the Santa Fe officials
asking for new and modern pas
Senger station exclusively to be
built in this city. The need of
such a station is without question
and in view of the fact that this is
the best station between Hutch
inson and Pueblo for the company
the city is entitled to some con-
sideratiOn, other than raising local
freight rates. At the club meeting
Monday evening the memorial was
signed up pretty generally by the
members, and we hope it will have
some effect.

To Select a Location.

At the meeting of the original
committee having in charge the
preliminary work of the Kansas
semi-Centennial, it was decided to
call a convention to meet in Tope-
ka, probably on Jan. Doth to either
select the place where the exposi-
ton will be held, or to provide a
plan for such selection. The
representation in that convention
will be made up of one delegate
from each county, to be selected
by the county commissioners, and
one delegate from leach incor-
pOrated city to be appointed by
the mayor, with an additional
deslegate for each 5000 or fraction
thereof in excess of the first 5000
population. This would give our
county one delegate, and Great
B2nl, Hoisinc5on, Cabin, Elm.
WOOL, AMI P4wlee Rock each one
delegate. -
The success Of this afair will
depend upon the cllib-o OF the
men selected foc this convention
as they will likely be made aiper-
manen5 committee, or somo OF
them will, to carry ont tho idea OF
the exposition. 1t is a forogone
conclusion that this enterprise viii
mean much for Kansas, and as to
what it will mean for the variOu:
counties will depend entirely on
the efforts made by the variou:
counties to be well represented.
We are without a doubt the lead
ing agricultural county in ....thc
state, and we should be second.tc
