RELAYS OF GARMENTS.
IL lie Not Economy 10 Have To" Nszy
Clothes at One Time.

tI0thes at one Itoae
1t is great mistake 10 have too
many garments at one time. People
who dress well at a moderate expense
never do this. They have what they
need, bestow good care upon their be
long.ngs and mend them when neees-
sary; when their clothes wear out they
buy new ones, but they never care to
have relays OF garments. One some
times reads in the newspapers OF
wealthy brides having enormous trous-
seaux, fashionable hats, bonnets and
dresses by the score. Such people are
not to be envied. They only possess
what they do not know what to do
with.
They cannot wear out their own
f1nery, and in the long run other per
sons-their maids or secondhand cloth
ing dealers-are certain 10 get the re
version thereof. Fashionable garments
very soon get out OF date, and the more
stylish they were when new the
more remarkable they seem when the
mode has altered.

Yet still good housewives are careful

to have too few garments of one kind

WANTS TO nAKEuN NATIONAL

The reforms instituted in Wisconsin
By its Legislature are liable to take deep
root in the nation. Looking along these
lines there are now psnding in the Q. 8.
Senate bills to regulate railroad rates,
stop rebate giving, to abolish free pass
favors, and now Senator La Toilette has
introduced bill to prohibit corpora
tions from contributing funds for politi-
cal purposes. The main provisions of
the latters mission are to compel politi-
eel committees 10 make an accounting
of all money received and disbursed in
campaigns. and prohibiting the giving
or receiving of contributions from COR
porations. It is the most sweeping
measure of the kind before congress.
No political committee and no member
or agent thereof shall directly or indi-
rectly solicit, accept or receive from
any corpc -ation or from any officer,
employe, agent or other representative
thereof on behalf of such corporation
any money, property or thing of value
for any political purpose whatever for
the purpose Of inf uencipg legislation or
to promote or defeat the candidacy Of
any person for nomination, appointment
or election to any political Office under
the constitution or laws Of the United
States No candidate for any such Of.
tice shall directly or indirectly solicit

or thing of value from any corporation
