as is Mrs. kay's garden to her. 1t
was all the beauty she could own Iu
one poor little red blossom she ex-
pressed her soul. In that little bios
som she showed her sympathy for her
neIghbor; for found that it was
these woman with their one little
plant who we're quickest to help
others in times of trouble.
Mrs. Langhorst's lilies are not alone
for Mrs. Langho1st. They are for the
pleasure of every one who passes her
garden, Mrs. Mares roses ale for
every hot, tired teameter who drives
by her door. We can never express
beauty without helping others. These
others may not realize at the time
that they are being helped, but they
are just the same.
The clean yards without grass tell
barren lives. | remember one such
garden in an eastern town. The
woman who lived in it swept it rigid
ly every day. She swept her house
the same way. In fact, she lived
with broom in her hand. She
never held flower or book. Her
face looked just like her yard, clean
but rigid and barren. No beautiful
thoughts looked out through her eyes,
no kindness, no sympathy.
DO you think that any one ever
thought of going to that woman in
times of trouble? No one went to her
at any time if it could be helped.
She lived always for herself as her
yard showed. She had no friends.
She was not happy woman. No
love entered into her life. She
thought only of two things. her own
miserable, useless self, aud little
money that she had in the bank. Her
life was as barren as her yard, and
as little value to the community.
The women of jackson are doing
what they can for the usefulness and
beauty of this community. But they
can only show it in their gardens.
They have not. as yet, any power over
the streets. The streets come under

rne Earliest Mummer..

Mumming is derived from the Dan
ish mumme, a mask, disguise, and
took its origin from the ancient Roman
Saturnalia. In early English times 1t
was the custom to indulge in burlesque
sports after dinner on Christmas day,
when masked performers, called num-
mers, would disport before the assem-
bled guests. This custom is still kept
up in some parts of England, specially
in Northamptonshire, where the vii
layers go about during the Christmas
holidays from house to house, person

their mock play.

1t is the custom of the graduating
class of the medical department Of
Queens university of Kingston, Cana
da, to designate by ballot the fellow
student who they believe could be ex-
pected 'to do the right thing under
all circumstances" The successful
student is honored with special prize
by the faculty. We believe that such
man is really the most capable Of

The LAW ON VITAL STATISTICS
WILL BE ENFORCED
The State Board Sends Out Circular
of Instructions

The state board of health is making
determined effort to have the law
relating to vital statistics enforced.
The new law OIL this subject is very
comprehensive, covering the field en-
tirely. Still there appears to be a lack
of knowledge on the part of those
whose duty it is to see that the pro-
visions are complied with. So ta1
the law is disregarded IN many places,
probably from a lack of information.
The state board has just sent out the
following circular:
Registration Districts,
Each city and county, city, and in
corporated town, and each county ex-
elusive of the portion included within
cities and Incorporated towns, con-
stitutes primary registration dis

Local Registrars.

a freeholders' chal ter is the health
officer, in other cities and incorporat-
ed towns, the clerk, and fol- the re-
malnder of each county the recorder.
Sub Registrars.
When public convenience requires.
the recorder as local registrar may.
with the approval of the state regis
trar, appoint sub-registrars for desig-
mated portions of the county.
Enforce the Law.
The chief duty of each local regis
trar and sub registrar IS to insist that
every death that occurs within bis
jurisdiction is promptly and com.
pletely registered with him, as re
qqired by law, before any disposition
is made OF the body. Registrars should
see that undertakers strictly comply
with the law and that physicians also
aid in the immediate registration o.
deaths. They should promptly report
to the state registrar any violation o.
the law coming to their notice by OBJ
servation OF upon complaint of any
person or otherwise. 1t is misde
meanor for any registrar, deputy
registrar or sub-reg glstrar to neglect o.
fail to enforce the provisions of th,
registration law in his district.
Examine Certificates.
The local registrar or sub-registra
must carefully examine each certifi
cate when presented tor record to SCI
that it has been made out in accord

tration law and the instructions U

Two of the largest department

by women, both OF whom personally
conduct their big business enter

longs to Mrs. Il. L.. LeIeman, and
the Boston store is owned by Mrs.
Mollie Nelctier. Both establishments
require 100 wagons and $50 horses in
the delivery department alone. This
is truly woman's age.

Lemons are so valuable for beauti-
tication, both as an application to
the skin and as an adjunct to diet,
that it is worth while knowing
about them.
Nose bleeding may be stopped by
snutfing lemon juice into the nostrll
from which the blood issues. 1t has
long been known to physicians that
lemon juice is most powerful
styptic. Lemon juice in water is an
excellent dentrlfice. This is about
the only simple remedy fo1 removing
tartar, and also valuable for sWeeten
ing the breath, Lemon juice and a
pinch of salt will remove the most
obstinate of stains. Never throw
away lemon or orange peel, for these
alone will often take away stains
without using water.

Then there are the yards that are
simply clean, without any effort at
beauty These kind of yards tell
various stories. They do not always
tell of proverty. for | have seen the

When growing stout-People who are
growing too stout are sometimes ad-
vised by friends to drink very little
liquid of any kind. This is dan
gerous advice. Three pints of liquid
at least is necessary in the twenty
four hours in order to flush the sys-
tenn and remove waste matter. If you
limit your drink you accumulate uric
acid in your system, and this is the
fertile parent of gout, rheumatism,
etc. Calcium compound is the best
uric acid solvent yet found, and con-
sequently the best remedy for rheu-
matism and all uric troubles.

Rag carpet rugs are now quite a
fad. BY using two colors they are
made more artistic. One woman, for
instance used white and blue rags,
and had them woven with yellow
warp. The strips we're woven three
yards long and fringe of the warp
was left at both ends of each strip.
These strips we're then fagoted to-
gether, instead of being sewed over
aud over, and the result was a most
al tistic tug.
This woman that speak of, put her
blue rug in bedroom. She painted
the floor herself. and when it was
dry. she threw her rug down vertic
ally across, the floor to break up the
straight lines. She bought several
yards of an inexpensive blue dotted
swiss. Out of some of this she made
dainty little curtains which came
only to the widow sill. Loug cur
tains are out of place ouly in parIors
where the ceilings are high. Then
she looped back heI curtains at the
center. where the two window flames
meet The way curtain is looped
gives it either its artistic finish, or
makes it hang ugly. Short curtains
should never be looped back near to
the ends. A little woman whom |
know calls curtains so looped
"bloomers, and they are certainly
as ugly as those early, dress reform
garments.
With the remainder of her swi.s our
rag-rug woman covered a dry goods
box, and made beautiful dresser
The box was first covered with blue
cambria, and then the swiss was full
ed over this, hanging from the top of
the dresser in deep frill. The frame
of mirror was painted blue and
hung above the dresser. A window
seat was made of another, smaller
dry goods box, being covered with a
blue figured creton. Here she kept
her shirt waists. The whole made as
dainty and pretty room as one
would want to see, and the cost was
very small.

La this dry, summer climate OF

To harden the feet and make them
less painful nothing is better than a

tannin has been dissolved, one tea
spoonful of tannin to every quart of
water. Ihe remedy will be more

Mrs. Clarence Maekay, wife of the
multi-mIllionaire- has just been elect
ed school trustee of RoslyD, J.. l.
Mrs. Maokay has beautiful home in
this Long Island town, in which she
takes much pride. She is in fact,
most public spirited, as we'll as most
brilliant woman. She cares little for
society, but has devoted her time to
studying the problems of the day,
and is the author of several successful
books. She will do much for the
public schools of Roslyn. If more
women could be elected to these posi-
tions, the children in many of our
cities would not be denied the school
privileges as they are. In New York,
San Francisco, and many other
places, the small children are able to
go to school for only half of each day,
there not being accommodations
enough for them all to attend both
sessions. Meantime the boodlers are
buying fast horses and automobiles
with the cities taxes.
