Keep Toilet Articles clean.


Although the majority of womanlSind are
fairly well informed as to the various
methods used in the newest treatment for
skin or scalp troubles or in the work OF
removing traces Of neglect, not one in
hundred stops to inquire into the espe-
cially important subject Of steTilizing all
instruments necessary in this work in such
a manner that the wel!-being of the patrons
may be assured.
In fact, 30 careless are many women OF
this respect that although the souls Of
dalntiness as far as their personal belong
ings are concerned, they seem to be per-
fectly oblivious to the dangers they may
run in submitting to treatments from the
hands of one who is not well enough in
formed to realize the imperative demand
for scrupulous attention to the details OF
her work
For instance, in the popular work of mas
sage alone there are many ways in which
most disaRreeable cutaneous disorders may
be acquired, unless the utmost precaution
is observed. First of all. one should de-
mand that for each subject clean cover
ing for the top of the operating chair must
be provided.
The bandage used about the head to keep
the locks from becoming oily must also be
taken from freshly laundered assortment,
while the towels used about the neck OF
the gown will naturally come from the
same source. This is but the beginning Of
the good work, and now one must observe
the operator. If she does her work care
fully she will scrub her hands thoroughly
not only the moment she finishes one mas
sage, but also before she commences an
other, and In addition she will immerse
them in an antiseptic solution.
The cup that is used for cleansing the
face before the massage is commenced
must also be immersed In a sufficiently
strong lotion and allowed to remain in
this mixture until ready for use, when It
may be rinsed with very warm water or
washed in a milder lotion, IL necessary.
All electrical instruments, such as the
rollers, tiny hammers, vibratles, must also
be sterilized in the same manner. and here,

The approaching early completion OF the
Clark road from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
will bring to an end the twenty-five years
isolation on the Nevada desert of a bril-
liant and courageous California woman.
For a quarter of Il century Mrs. Helen
Stewart has lived alone on an oasis in the
midst of the Nevada desert. Nearly two
score years out of the twenty-five she has
been a widow. Her home, recently pur-
chased by the railroad for $4,000. nestled
among big cottonwood trees and listened
TO the perpetual flow of a charming stream
of water. But for 200 miles east or west
north south, there was not another
habitation worthy of the name; nothing
but sagebrush and sand nobody to talk
TO but the occasional stage passenger and
the occasional miner.
Yet Notwithstanding all this, Mrs Ste
wart remains today a woman of culture
A conversation with her is a source of
edification as well as pleasure She her
self wonders If so many years of contact
with virtually men only have robbed her
of her womanliness, and the visitor WON
ders where he has ever seen more wo-
manly woman or a more gracious hostess
Mrs. Stewart was just out of her school
ing when her young husband took her
away from her associates in San Fran
cisco and Oakland to the then thrifty and
promising mining city of Phoebe, in Ne
vada.
The trip over the desert was a dreary
and disheartening outlook for a BRIDE and
she says that more than once she hid her
tears from her husband lest she should
discourage him, too. Indeed, long after
reaching her destination at Phoebe the
tears came frequently to the eyes, espe-
cially when letters were received from
. home. They were the tears of loneliness
and desolation.
The camp of Phoebe died out, as every
one knows, and, there being little left
there for man of thrift who desired
above ali things a home for his worthy
wife, Mr.. Stewart moved away and pur-
chased the ranch known as Las Vegas
Cor The Meadows), in the center of the
southern part of Nevada. 1t was a his
toric old place even in those early days
The mission padres who were mining in the
region north of the big bend in the Colo
rado river had discovered it in the first
part of the last century; the forty-niners
mad used IT as way station enroute 10
California, and in the fiftieS the Mormons
mad made 1t a permanent settlement.
Through the center of the ranch flowed
a splendid stream of water, fed from two
great springs, which had never been
known to so dry or TO lessen their flow
oe year round, and tributary to the
stream were meadows rich in food for
stock and bottom lands lit for the grow
ing Of every kind of vegetable and fruit
and grain.

The Woman with Red Hair.

To the average man 1t will appear en-
tirely unnecessary-enti superhuous.
entirely uncalled for-that red headed
women in any part of the country should
organize for the purpose of proving that
they are, generally speaking beautiful.
No man whose opinion is of any value
and whose taste is worth considering says
the Chicago Inter Ocean, has ever said
that red-headed women are not as a rule
lovely. Black k-haired, brown-haired and
flaxen-haired women may have made re-
marks about women who are golden
haired. auburn haired or red-haired but
we do not understand that any distinct
class Of American boautles care particu-
larly what any other GLASS may think Of
them so long as mans judgment remains
sound. And mans judgment is that, while
black-haired and brown-haired and fiaxen-
haired women are charming the fact does
not in any way prevent goldon-haircd au-
burn-haired and red-haired women from
being equally so, or even more
The organization referred to has been
formed in Portland, Ore, ostcnsibly with
a view to giving concerts, but in reality
to prove that 100 beautiful red-haired
women can be gathered together in II
single community on single platform.
The promoter OF the enterprise, who is
a red-haired woman herself declares that
the beauty of red-haired women in gen
eral is not appreciated as it should be.
Her aim in forming a choral society OF
red-haired women is to prove beyond all
possible question that not only are red
haired women beautiful. as Il rule, but
that red hair is in itself a badge of
beauty. Incidentally she believes that
when man finds the beautiful red-haired
woman sweet singer well as a charm
ing personality, ne will fall down on his
knees and begin to adore her right there
in the concert hall.
Maybe he will. 1t depends, however.
He may be SO circumstanced that he can
not. That is, he may be so situated as to
make it unwise for him to do anything Of
the kind That the average man is prone

there is generally something to critcse.

THE pioneers in the movement
IAYI for the emancipation Of woman
I&II could revisit the scenes Of their
pSSeSssSV earthly activity they would un
tAeHSkl doubtedly rejoice at the progress
InaL uas been made. The task that they
set out to accomplish has been more than
accomplished, declares the Chicago Chron-
icle. Woman IS now in the ascendant
Man Is on the decline.
At least that IS the assurance given by
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait TO the sisters
OF the New Jersey Suffrage association the
other day. Mrs. Gait is sorry for the men.
but feels compelled to recognize the fact
that they are falling hopeessly behind in
tho race with women. AS an example Of
this situation she told how she recently
dined with the president of college and
took occasion to compliment him upon tho
skill of his cook. Her host replied: II
have had a man cook for a nuEiber OF
years and he has given very satisfactory
service. The lady who has just left the
table is his wife. lie Is professor Of
Greek in our college
Certainly no finer demonstration of the
onward and upward progress of woman
could be imagined. In the days Of Susan
u. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and
Dr. Mary Walker the chief complaint of
the womans rights advocates was invar-
iably that tho wife shaved In the kitchen
while the husband talked politics at the
corner grocery
Here VIC have the situation reversed with
a completeness which smacks of poetic
justice. The wife dimes with the college
president; the husband stews over the
kitchen range preparing the viands which
grace the presidential table. We can even
conceive Of the lady limiting TO her host
that the soup was scorched or the entrees
cold and thus bringing down upon her hus-
band a severe repTimand from his en-
ployer.
How different from the days in which
the wife was always pictured as mopping
the floors and nursing the baby while the
husband staggered around downtown"
with more or less dssolute associates! The
whirhgig of time has indeed made COM
plete revolution. The upper side Is down
and the under side is up. We rejoice with
Mrs. Gait that 'it is no longer the women
but the men who have the hardest time
these days" Retribution has overtaken
the tyrant man.
