CIVIC ACTIVITIES

Chicago is conducting a hearing on the
price of gas, and has made the discovery
that the Peoples Gaslight & Coke COM
pany, which is selling gas to the city at
81 thousand, buys some of it's gas
from the Cicero Gas company at 60 cents
thousand, the Cicero company hav-
ing nothing more to do with distribution
than to deliver it's product to the other
company from a main pipe thru a meter.
1t is alleged that it costs the Cicero COM
pany 80 cents a thousand to make the
gas. Under the circumstances the gov
eminent Of Chicago wants to know what
there is unreasonable in it's demand for
75-cent gas in the city.

fsIt has been publicly stated and
never denied that ITO out of the 200
saloons are either owned or controlled
by the brewers.
"A special election will soon be held
at which every voter viii have an OPP
portunity to vote for continuance of
200 saloons with all the evils of private
ownership, or for a reduction of the
number to 10, and reduction in the
size of the saloon zone, combining the
saloon business strictly to the business
section, where police supervision is
much more effective.
'sThe city charter confers the exclu-
sive right to grant licenses on the
board of police commissioners. The or
dinance we propose to submit to pop
ular vote will not, therefore, contain
any grant Of licenses to the Gothenburg
company, but will only amend the pres

respects:
"First-Reducing the number of
licenses from 200 to 70, and increasing
the monthly fee to $500 each.

There are a good many inquiries as to
what the Galveston commission system
Of government is. It is what is implied
by the name, government by commits
sion. There are five commissioners
elected by the people for two-year terms
at salaries Of $4,000 a year each. The
commission elects chairman and trans.
acts all the business of the CITY, There is
no council, nor other board intervening
between the public and this board. 1t
legislates and executes. The form of
government came into being after Gal
weston was all but destroyed by a sea
wave. There were millions Of dollars to
be expended in rebuilding the city and in
making it safe from another catastrophe
The people put this money into the hands
of single board and became so well
satisfied with the results that the whole
government has been turned over to a
similar commission.

country in which according to Henry

FOR THE BABY DAUGHTER.

A mother. noted for her original
ideas, showed me how she was plan
ming for her little girls pleasure and
satisfaction in the years to come.
i remember" she said. 'how l used
to question my mother as to what 1
did, how l looked, what she did when
she was a little girl. How disappointed
| used to feel when the reply came:
Why, child, / don't remember; it was
SO long ago. So. when my baby came,
l determined to be able to crafty her
curiosity along these lines"
Then she showed me book, filled
with many examples of her own gowns,
labeled, Mammals graduating dress, -
Mammals first silk dress" Mamma S
wedding gown" etc.
But the most interesting book, or set
of books. was the baby's own auto
biography, illustrated with amateur
photographs. It was written as if the
baby told the story, giving her impress
sions Of this world and her surround
ings. 1t contained photographs of her
Christmas trees. of her first birthday
cake, etc. What work, | exclaimed.
But the little mother said: What
pleasure for my baby
Then another idea of this wise moth
ers is the starting of chest for this
wee maiden. In it are all the valen-
tines, Easter cards, and gifts of all
descriptions that are keepable. She
has told all her relatives to give the
baby things that she will appreciate
in later years. not to spend money on
toys. so this year and half old baby
has handkerchiefs embroidered towels,
doylies. wash cloths, spoons. forks. etc.

The best of us talk too much. The

man who knew.
Many a reputation has been built on
silence. Many a one is spoiled through
rushing prematurely and volubly into
speech.
1t is safe to be silent when your
words would wound Faithful are
the wounds of a friend" says the old
proverb, but one wants to be mighty
sure ones friend needs the wounding
and that we are qualified to adminiter
it,
Keep still when your words will dis
courage. 1t is infinitely better to be
dumb forever than to make one fellow
being less able to cope with life.
Keep still when your words will in
cite to anger or discomfort. An in
credible amount of breath is used in
the evil practice of trying to make our
friends dislike their friends.
Never speak when what you have to
say is merely for the purpose of exalt-
ing yourself.
Shut your lips with key when you
are inspired to babble incontinently of
yourself-your ailments. accomplish

IMITATION EATING.

r HE fad for eating imitation things
| seems to have died somewhat. One
does not hear quite so much about
imitation coffee or mock breakfast
foods. The vegetarian idea seems to be
the latest hobby of humanity, for man
kind couldn't live without some kind
of an eating fad At least a part of
mankind, or womankind, couldn't. It
is probably the mock food faddists who
have taken up the newest vegetarian
extremes, for, having tired of one hob
by, they must needs adopt another
upon which to expound and thcorize.
1t is rather strange with what impa-
tience a healthy person viii FOX upon
such unique theories about eata.5y: per-
haps because a healthy person physi~
cal being demands all the strength af-
forded by a general variety Of food,
while those who are not healthy are
perhaps given to spasmodic desires and
capricious appetites. 1t IS generally
conceded by the most practical physi-
clans that varied diet is the best. The
person who eats everything and who
satisfies his appetite with meat, Vege-
tables. salads. fruits, and sweets in
season is the one who is apt to have the
best appetite and most endurance. It's
a question whether forced food ever
does any one good. When not hungry
the best thing to do is to stop eating.
wait for the return of the natural appe-
lite. and then eat a good meal.
1t is curious how vivid is the magma
ton in regard TO ones food. Some peo-
ple get ideas that they can't eat certain
things. Tell man with his digestion
on his mind~that he can't eat potatoes.
and he'll shun them like poison.

Ny Dear Miss Valeau:-Please give

LIZZIE w. S.
Dear girl. one suit is enough for any
sensible woman, unless she is a mill
ionalre, though wealthy people often
show more judgment and economy than
their less fortunate neighbors.
A stylish shirt waist suit is of dark
blue taffeta. The skirt is made very
full with several rows of shirring all
around the belt: on the foot of the skirt
are three wide tucks. The waist. blous-
ing slightly all around, is made with
wide horizontal tucks. as are also the
sleeves
The shirt waist suit is very popular.
Like the shirt waist. woman feels
that one at least of these gowns must
Pc included IN the summer wardrobe.
The suits are made of silk. bingham.
chambray, wolfe. linen, etc the more
uressy ones being trimmed with lace or
embroidery
Another attractive shirt waist suit is
of blue-figured foulard The skirt is
made with shirTings around the belt;
at the foot are two narrow ruffeS. with
a putting at the top of the second rufae.
The waist is made in a short bolero.

ones. gathered into a narrow cuff
Around the waist is worn a high girdle
of the foulard Another gown is of tan
wolfe; the skirt is tucked lengthwise
and stitched to knee depth, where the
tullneSS is then allowed to fare The
waist is made with a narrow vest of
ecru-colored lace, trimmed on the sides
with fancy braid mingling pink. white
and black. Around the waist is. a high
girdle of black silk; the edges of the |
sleeves. as well as the top Of the collar. |
are of black, with a band of the fancy
beneath.

DETACHED COLLARS AND OTHER
NECK trimmings.

The becOmingness of a gown depends
so much upon the dainty arrangement
of the upper part of the waist that toe
much thought cannot be expended on
devising pretty collars, capes, yokes
and stocks to trim both waists OF
gowns and SEPARATE blouses.
For summer it is. best to have nuns
Der of detached collars and other neck
trimmings that may be worn first with
one and then with another waist thus
giving one a much greater variety.
Another advantage of this style is
that the waists themselves may be
made without any trimmings save
gathers or tucks, and so may be laun-
dered much more easily than if
trimmed.
For informal evening wear nothing
is prettier than a dainty fichu or ber-
tina that leaves the throat slightly ex-
posed.
One such fichu that can be very
easily made is made of white silk null
but it would be equally as pretty of
any other soft sheer material in either
white, black or some delicate color. 1t
is circular in cut in the back and over
the shoulders has long tapering ends
and is bordered by two ruffles of VAL
enciennes lace edging and is fitted to
the neck by several soft folds.
Another IS an attractive collar or
yoke made of Irish lace insertion, with
a stock and border of Cluny lace an
pliqued with heavy crochet rings ar
ranged in. large and small circles. and
with the spaces between embroidered
in heavy silk floss in soft pastel shades.
This collar is very effective worn with
foulard, pongee and colored linen
dresses.
A simple, dainty, deep round collar
suitable for wear with white figured
or plain colored muslin frocks will be
much worn. 1t is made of handker-
chief linen inset with princess lace in
serious and bordered by plated
ruff1e of the linen edged with the lace
