About Children's Clothes.
CAMILLA.

Dear Aunt Jennie 1T does not al
ways follow that the well dressed
children have an unusual amount of
money spent upon their clothes, for
if the mother has learned the art of
cutting down and making over, she
can keep them prettily and even styl-
ishly dressed on a very small income.
Children often outgrow their dresses
long before the economical mother
feels that she can throw them aside,
and often a little altering will make
them plenty large enough, and some
times they are prettier than when
new. In the first place allowances
should be made when making a new
dress, and while it is more trouble
at the time, it certainly rays when
you come to alter them. Make the
skirt, waist and sleeves two or three
inches longer than necessary, then
take a wide tuck in the hem of the
skirt before it is turned down if it is
a full skirt, and if not, take a tuck
underneath the trimming and set the
belt far enough up on the waist
to make it the right length and take
tuck under the trimming on the
sleeves. If these allowances have not
been made, and it is necessary to
piece the garment with new goods,
several washings in strong suds and
to strong sunshine for few
days will usually fade the new piece
until it is the color of the garment.
Bands of insertion can be used to
lengthen white dresses and to form
belts and cuffs or for vests in the
waist where they have to be opened
to make them large enough. In max
ing little underskirts, put in one or
two wide tucks, using quite long
stitch and loose tension, and these
can be let out as required. The
waists should be made several inches
larger around than required, and af-
ter the skirt is sewed ON. take box
pleat and stitch into place, and at
the back set the buttons far enough
from the edge to make them fit COM
fortably, and when too tight, the
pleat in front can be let out and the
buttons set nearer the edge. When
gingham, percale or other cotton
dresses lose their dainty colors,
which often happens after two or
three washings, they can be made as
good as new by putting the garment
in a strong suds, to which a little

REGULATION.

The Presidents side of the railway rate regulation issue has just been presented by Senator Knox of Penn sylvania at a banquet of the Pittsburg chamber of commerce. MT. Knox, says the Globe-Democrat, as attorney general, pushed some of the anti
 trust cases to a successful issue. He knows the Presidents ideas on the railway rate regulation question bet ter than any other person in public life. A san advocate of rate regulation and as an authority on the antitrust law and on the powers of congress in that field under the constitution, he has often recently been called into consultation with the President on that subject. As a former railroad attorney of high standing and great experience, he knows at least as much about the practices of railways as any other public man in the United States.
 Senator Knox made it plain that -AlSASACl thS IASSiuSHl TUT lyDOuy else belonging to the Presidents party, wants to take away the power of rate making from the railroads. by the United States circuit court, in
 What the President proposes is that the Interstate Commerce Commission, or some other governmental board, be empowered with the authority to hear complaints made by shippers of unjust rates by the railways, and if that body should find the rate to be unjust, it should have the power to impose a rate beyond which the rail- roads could noe go. This action should not be taken until after a full and fair hearing, at which the railways side could be presented with all the power that its officers and attorneys could muster After a maximum rate should be fixed by the commission or other board it would be subject to review which the railways could again be heard. Before both the rate regu- lating board and the federal court the railways would have precisely the same chance to present their side as is open to the shippers, and, as some of the best legal talent in the country is in the railways employ, there is no danger that any snap judgment could be taken on them. The power of rate regulation which the President will ask will not assail any right which the railways ought to have, and will

WASTING GOOD WHITE PAPER.

"It still remains true that every , citizen of New Mexico and Arizona has a perfect right to his own prefer ence in regard to the matter of state hood for the two territories, and it still remains none the less true that a large majority of the citizens of the two territories aforesaid are willing to continue to work for it.'-Socorro
 Chieftain.
 Yes. and this despite the circulars sent out by the Albuquerque Joint Statehood League by the thousands, and the frantic letters and the fierce, fearful appeals mailed by the leaders of the league daily. The New Mex ican knows whereof it speaks. Dur ing the last two weeks this paper has received over 200 circulars and letters sent by the league to citizens of this territory. These saelfsame citizens hay mailed these circulars to this pa- per for perusal and answer Life be- ing too short. the only use the New Mexican could find for them was the waste basket and the furnace of it's boilers.-Santa Fe New Mexican.
 From the above it would seem that the friends of joint statehood in New Mexico are pushing their cause before the people and congress. It is also known that the few advocates of joint statehood in Arizona are equally ac- tive in trying to deceive senators and members of congress as to the real sentiment prevailing in Arizona and New Mexico concerning statehood.
 However, the sentiment in Arizona is so unanimous against joint state hood that those who visit the territory cannot be deceived. Every official and representative body in the terri tory has made declaration of the fact that the people of this territory prefer to remain indefinitely under the present system of territorial gov ernment rather than to be joined with New Mexico in a state government.
 But, notwithstanding the presence of this sentiment we fear that the work against the infquitous measure is not what it should be. Recently the board of supervisors of Cochise county called upon the individual cit izens to write perosnal appeals to friends throughout the states asking for assistance in preserving the au- tonomy of Arizona. This plan of work we believe would accomplish much if the business men of Arizona would adopt it and close every business let ter written from now until congress meets with word in behalf of Ari- zona.
 If Arizonans desire to avert the i'm pending calamity of joint statehood they must get busy now and keep busy until the last gun in the battle for self-preserYation has been fired.

Bisbee daily review., 1905-11-16

There is quite a scrap on in New Mexico over the governorship and the political enc n-es of Governor Otero are of the opinion that they have him shut out. There is some talk of B. $. Rodey, ex-delegate to congress. getting the position, but it would seem hardly probable that this man could get any kind of recogni- tion at the hands of the Republican administration. No doubt the syco- phantic howl of the New Mexico Joint Sts tehood League has been increased and continued in the hope of reha- bilitating the political fortunes of Rodey, but it is to be hoped that nothing of the kind VIII occur. As much as the people of Arizona object to joining New Mexico in statehood there is no one in this territory who would wish the neighbor territory such luck as having Rodey for gov ernor.

RESULT OF REFORM WAVE.

It is a rule in the medical profes- sion that a sore to be healed must be kept open and cleansed. The secret, hidden cancer is fatal unless brought to the surface; once seen and diagnosed. steps may then be taken toward it's cure.
 In the field of morals very much the same rule holds good. says the Herald Forms of wickedness, prac- ticed in secret, may eat out the heart of the community and yet leave the surface comparatively fair. Until they break out into fostering sores their presence is unsuspected; once brought to the surface remedies may be applied.
 The present wave of investigation, whereby the rottenness permeating certain great corporations, and in a measure shown to be distributed through the public business in gen eraI, has served just this purpose. The rotten conditions are not of the pres ent moment; they date back for years. They have permeated the world of business, contaminated great, much respected and highly hon. ored concerns and fastened their can ker on men considered above re proach. Yet, until recently, these conditions were all under the sur. face, hidden, glossed over and ul- known.
 Revelations of these affairs have shocked and shaken the business world. An unsuspecting public has stood back astounded at the investi- gation's reports. Can these things have been?" they ask in amaze. Yet these thnigs were and had been for years; the very features that are most condemned are in some in stances dated back more than de cade. But until they came to the surface who suspected them?
 Therefore we ought to find in the expose of the moral turpitude of the world cause for congratulation. The canker that has been eating away at the heart of commercial honesty and integrity, that has been undermining confidence and violating trust, is laid bare in all it's hideous features. Con- cealed, We knew only that something was wrong; we could not diagnose the disease. Now we know our troubles; they are placed before us in the glar- ing light of day. Now we can-if we Wlll-apply the remedies.
 So it is that these moral earth quakes have been of vast good to the in general. When the atmosphere is cleared once more we ought to have a better understanding of what business honesty is, and how to maintain it.

No Democrat owes any sympathy to the Tammany crowd. That or ganization has never been true to anybody at any time, when by trading of principle it could strengthen its own hold on the city treasury in New York. Tammany has never been true to the Democratic party. It pretended to support Bryan and also Parker. but it was loyal to neither. Now that the "tiger" has got it's tail in a crack it has no right to expect any sym pathy from Democrats.

A New Anesthetic.

To an eminent Georgian is due
the credit for the discovery Of
anasthesia, the greatest boon evel
given suffer- g humanity. In
these days of painless surgery,
little thought is given the horri-

days when such a thing as an
anasthetic was unknown.

world has just been drawn to a
new anasthetic for which won
derful properties are claimed
This is called "scopolamine," and
Philadelphia dispatches tell OF
some remarkable results obtained
from it.
This is said to have marvellous
properties. One thirty second OF
a grain is all that is necessary to
produce unconsciousness. The
drug is injected hypodermically,
the patient falls asleep in the
most natural way, and knows Or
feels no disturbance even after
he awakes. This is usually five
hours after the anasthesia has
been used.
In the experiments at st. Ag-
