What the Burlington On. j. police au-
thorities believe to be murder was dis
covered Sunday when the body of John
Worrell, aged sixty-fve years, of Florence,
a foundryman, was found on the trolley
tracks in East Burlington after a car had
run over it. The mans watch and money
are missing, and the police entertain the
theory that he was killed while being rob-
bed and his body placed on the tracks.

An Injurious Tariff.

The tariff reform meeting at Chicago
was composed almost entirely of repub-
ricans. Resolutions were adopted, rec
ognizing the principle of protection as
the established policy of our country,
advocates reciprocal concessions by
means of a dual or maximum and mini
mum tariff" and a committee was au-
thorized to be appointed to establish a
permanent organization under the style
of the american Reciprocal Tariff
league. The democrats welcome all such
efforts to aid them in relieving the peo-
pie from the tariff that fosters trusts, but
we warn those republicans that no relief
from trust high prices ear be expected
unless they are prepared to greatly re-
duce or abolish the tariff on those trust
products that are sold to foreigners
cheaper than to our own people. A tar.
LII that helps the people of other coun
tries at the expense of our own Is rob

THE CARE OF THE HANDS.
Absolute Cleanliness an Essential and
Care Should Be Taken to Dry
Well After Washing.

Attention and cleanliness of the
hands bring immediate rewards, de.
clares Nine. Qui Vive, in the Chicago
Record-Herald Even the housewife
who putters around among her kettles
and pans may keep her hands in al
most perfect condition. While The
white, soft, lovely hand is n Of the
first beauty attributes, it can also be
said that grimy, horrid hands, with
black velvet edges to the nails, with
about the most unattractive, un1em-
mime thing imaginable.
Every mother who has her chllds
interests at heart-and what mother
has not?-will look carefully after the
tiny, chubby hands of her little one.
Children form habits that absolutely
destroy the beauty of their hands ana
feet, and these habits cannot be too
speedily corrected.
From birth, almost, the finger nails
should be carefully treated. Trim the
little tissue paper-like formation into
oval shape, and you will be surprised
to find how quickly Mrs. Nature will
take the hint and will develop pretty,
artistic points. Children must not bite
the nails. If this habit is allowed to
continue the child when grown will
have ugly, stubby, coarse nails, thick
and clumsy. A little extract of quas-
STA applied to the finger tips will soon
do away with the unpleasant notion
that The fingers must always be in the
mouth. The practice is not confined
alone to the babes, but is INDUCED in
by some of the grown-ups as we'll, and
the nervous, high-strung girl is ar
easy victim. For these, let it be sug-
gested that the moment they fine
themselves nibbling at their finger
nails a quick bathing with hot Natel
will be effective. This hot batf
soothes the little nerves that are caus
ing the mischief.
Coarse, rough hands are natura
with some women, just as are coarse
unlovely compilations, but neither or
trouble nor the other is beyond rem
edy. Often the rough condition is thu
result of carelessness. In washing thu
hands the purest, finest soaps shoult
be used, but even the best soaps mus
be rinsed away, and the surface o
the skin dried with pa~instaking at
tention.

WHAT MAKES FOR BEAUTY.
Happiness and Health Are the Best
Sort of Helps-Some Good
Advice About Diet.

Happiness as a usual thing means
health, and health is the greatest aid
to beauty, and so the average womap
should know the rules of happiness
The woman who is happy all over is
blessed, indeed. Women do those
things which they ought not to dc
and leave undone those things which
they ought to do, and have no health
in them. Then they grumble rather
than beseech mercy for their past
sins and implore strength of charac-
ter to enable them to live right.
Why does not the summer maiden
improve her opportunities to gain a
lily fairness and a bloom like the
flowers? This is a season when she
may scorn buildings and pastries and
creams and candies and ices and have
more than an even exchange, for
luscious fruits, peaches, pears, pine
apples, cherries, apples and melons all
venture tempting and f1attering offers.
The girl who eats apples plentifully
aids her digestion and clears up her
skin. Peaches beautify and grapes are
said to be the healthiest of all fruits.
Dyspepsia may be cured by a generous
indulgence in oranges and lemons,
which are great tones.
People who are annoyed by overfat
are unwise to take any of the many
medicines advertised for reduction,
They may reduce, but they prove dis.
astrous to health.
A meat diet is not SO fattening as
one composed Of other foods, but it i;
hard on the complexion. Pastry
sweets and puddings are hard on the
skin and are also f%attening. Walk.
ing, using dumbbells and exercising il
the morning before the burden o.
clothes is INDUCED in will remove
super1uous fat. Turkish baths are
genuinely helpful to reduce adipost
tissue. One should not eat a heavy
meal before going to bed, and extreme!
! should always be avoided.
Right living is the true way to be.
come beautiful.

POLlTENESS IN CHILDREN.
Reasons for Social Usages May Be
Given, But Courtesy in Family
Life Strongest Influence.

Eleanor Davids, writing her expert
ences with a child taken from a
home" in The Notebook of an
Adopted Mother" has this to say on
the teaching of gentle and polite man
ners:
Perhaps the reason why it Is so
hard to inculcate politeness in children
is that it is difficult to explain the
reason back of many small refinements
of life remarks Mrs. Davids. Con
aict with a child's instincts, and yet,
if we are not afraid to think, or too
indolent to explain, we can generally
make children understand that there
Is a good reason for all social usages.
Then they see some sense in observing
them.
II have never read anything on the
cultivation of %politeness in children
which impressed me as more practical
ly suggestive than an incident in the
papers some time ago. A small boys
manners improved so after he entered
school that his mother cross-questioned
him to find out what the teacher did
to secure such results. Nothing was
the indignant reply. !.
"'She surely must do something,
persisted the mother.
az tell you she doesn't do nothing,
persisted the boy. She just walks
round ana is polite, and it makes us
feel as polite as anything
"CourteGy and consideration will
never become natural to a child, viii
never be anything but a ence- added
for the sake of policy, unless he has
witnessed and experienced the results
of p~oliteness at home while still In
the plastic period Of life
Another idea that Mrs. Davids tried
to develop in her home was that the
people we love, and with whom we
live every day, are just as much en-.
titled to courtesy as guests; in fact
she says that If any difference Is tc
be made 1t should be In favor of those
dearest to us.
Quite the reverse Of this Is. unhap
PLY, too often the family rule.

THE CHILD'S WALKING.
Positions Followed by Little One
Should Be Carefully Observed
and Corrected If Wrong.

The acknowledged best position for
the feet is not the one accepted of old
-"heels together and toes turned out"
but one in which the feet are nearly
straight, one a little in advance OF
the other, and with the body's weight
full upon the balls of the feet, the
heels hardly touching the floor.
All this preparation is necessary
precaution against, or remedy for, the
bending of the soft bones of the back,
or the legs from throwing too much
weight upon them. This is the danger
of first walking.
The carrying of undue weight upon
the heels and bone-structure not only
bends the bones of the back and legs.
but it so overpresses the Joint carti
lagos as to stiffen and enlarge and
irritate the joints, while it reduces the
body's height.
If a child holds itself freely and
strongly and 1exibiy in poise, with all
muscles doing their share of the work
whether the body be supported ON the

balls of n foot or or boln feet, it
is ready to walk easily and success
fully. The next point in learning to
walk well, after strength and poise
and easy balance are well secured, is
to induce the leaning of the body's
weight (chest firstr so far forward be-
yond the supporting foot that the
back leg must swing forward to meet
the advanced need Of support. This
makes the difference between good
walking, with chest leading and legs
serving, and bad walking, with feet
first.
To teach good walking, one must in
duce the leaning of the weight fur
Their and further forward on the for
ward foot. making sure that the heel
Of the supporting foot is well lifted,
and all the weight on a strong,
springy, rolling ball of the foot, and
80 lifted that when the weight gets
so far forward that it needs support
still further forward, the idle foot at
the back can swing easily ahead to
meet the necessity. This is the fun
damental mechanism of good walking.

eauty Hard Bed.

Your bed should not be soft and
downy. Sleep on a hard mattress,
with small pillows. To sleep on a
young mountain of pillows is very
%enervating, prevents ventilation, him
ders circulation and renders the flesh
iabby. Sleepirs on the right side
stretches the muscles about the heart
and increases any trouble one may
have with that organ. Never sleep
with the arms thrown above the head,
unless you wish to have nightmares
and crazy dreams.
