Women Should BE Pretty.

Women Should BE Pretty.
Do you know that it is the habits and
not the fight of years that take the
expression Of youth from the eyes, the
look Of freshness from the skin, the
lightness Of grace from the step?
Too many women who are pretty In
girlhood become positively ugly in mid
die age Those who are shapeless with
fat and have muddy compilations are
often thus unlovely because of laziness
and self-indulgence. They eat the rich
and sweet things which make flesh and
do not take sufficient exercise.
The odd thing about it is that while
women deplore the loss OF beauty, no
persuasion will make them adopt the
Spartan methods which will bring at
least some Of it back, says Woman's
Life.
As for the thin, nervous women who
have lost the delicate, round, pink and
white outlines of youth in sallowness
and scragginess, they are no more
amenable to reason and common sense.
A daily bath in tepid water, plenty Of
nourishing food judiciously chosen, and
q resolute avoidance of the twin fiends,
hurry and worry, mean a new rosiness
in the cheek, soften contour in the
figure, a new enjoyment of life.

Fear Japanese Boycott

Washington, Oct. 25.-With the ex-
ception of brief communication from
Ambassador Wright containing GER
tain clippings from Japanese newspa-
pers, showing the feeling of resent
meut which the japanese people are
exhibiting over the anti-Japanese sen.
timent in California, the state depart
meut has nothing to indicate that this
feeling exists. Fear is expressed, how
ever, that persistent agitation may re-
suit in an anti-AmeIican boycott In
Japan that will dwarf in magnitude
the injury inflicted on American trade
in the Orient by the boycott in China.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Postmaster

the secretary of the treasury for trans
mission to congress estimates for the

about $12, 600, 600 over the appropri-

growing needs of the service and the
public demand for improved facilities.

CONFLICTS BETWEEN
LORDS and COMMONS

London, Oct. 22.-Parllament will
assemble Tuesday with two vexatious
controversies before it, and the meet
ing promises to attract renewed atten-
ton to public questions. The session
will be marked by two conflicts, one
between the house of lords and the
house of commons over the education
bill, and the other between the gov
eminent and the labor party over the
workingmen's compensation bill.
During the recess now coming to a
close the socialistic wing of the labor
party has opposed the governments
candidate and the struggle will be
something of a test of the govern
ment's ability to hold the support of
the labor members of the house of
commons.
The controversy between the house
of lords and the house of commona
over the educa'io ion bill may lead to
serious consequences. and possibly
cause an appeal to the country. Tor
the two houses are apparently lrrecon-
cilable over the measure.
The house of lords shows little dis
position to yield to the lower house,
and the main purpose of the bill, that
of giving the country better educa-
tional system, is for the time being
forgotten in the intensity OF the strife
between the two houses.
The Irish question is slumberlng
volcano which may break out at any
moment, but there Is believed to be Q
tacit understanding that 1t will go
over to the next session for full dis
cussion.

CLEAN UP VALLEJO
SAYS BONAPAR!E

San Francisco, Oct. 20.--Word has
Oeen sent by Secretary of the Navy
Bonaparte to Mayor Madigan, of Val
lejo, Cal. ordering him either to clean
up the town or prepare the city for
the withdrawal of government business
from the Mare IslaI d navy yard.
Vallejo has become a hotbed for
saloons and low resorts, according to
reports which have reached the ma
tional capital. Bonaparte says if these
demoralizing conditions are not over
come at once he will have the navy's
work done elsewhere.

Modest Outlay for weddi.s.

There is considerable discussion In
regard to the statement that the trous-
seau of Fraulein Bertha Krupp, the
richest girl in the world, cost $3.50.
Some Of the German newspapers hold
her up as a model Of virtue for other
girls about to be married. But others
think her parsimony not much to her
credit, as her small expenditure will
not add much to the income of others.
No doubt the lady knows her own at
fairs best, and she probably has SO
many clothes that she couldn't find
need for more. As most German girls
are all their lives getting ready to get
married, and the lingerie is added to
from year to year, she probably has a
good supply.

This jaunty gown shows pleading
combination of some of the most at
tractive features Of the season. The
blouse. which pulls on over the head,
has an artistically shaped yoke after
the manner of the Peter Thompson, and
the deep sailor collar terminates In n
point IN the front; it may be wor1,
either with or without shield. The
skirt also has fitted yoke extending
to the front gore which Is finished for
placket opening. A lacing at thu
back OF the skirt and the front Of the
blouse adds an attractive touch. There
is never anything devised more satisfy
ing for a girls costume than pretty
sailor suit, and none more generally

mel and linen are the stand-bys for
these costumes. but all sorts Of wash
goods may be used, as preferred. This
model has decided individuality In style
and Is quite distinctive.

Olympia, Oct. 22.-It is announced
from the Office Of State Labor Com
missioner Hubbard that the fifth an
nuai report of the labor bureau of
Washington will soon be ready for

whose dutiess require them to visit
and inspect practically all the manu-
featuring esta blishments of the state.
All the data thus obtained during the
fifteen months the law has been in
effect will be presented in properly
tabulated form.
An excellent showing will be made
of new enterprises that have been es-
tablished since January L, 1905. Re.
ports relating to this subject have
been received from 81 cities and towns,
with reports from Seattle and Tacoma
yet to be included. New concerns to
the number of 1T are reported, with
aggregate capital of $4,113, $50 and
giving employment to ALSO persons.
These industries are grouped as fol-
lows:
Lumber, %; electric power, 5; shin
giles, 90; beer, 8; brick, 6; wagons and
agricultural implements, 8; iron foun-
dries and machine shops, 6; wood

A chapter of the book will be de-
vote1 to an Investigation of the cost
Of living in Washington, together with
such facts as could be obtained rela-
tive to the variation in wages in differ
ent lines of industry. It is found that
there has been a marked increase in
the cost of living and the general rate
Of wages, although the former is
shown to have advanced more rapidly
than the latter.
The report will show decrease in
the number of industrial disturbances
in the state, as compared with former
years. This condition is attributed
largely to effective organization by
both labor and capital, resulting in
greatly increased mutual respect and
to more general recognition Of the
community of interest A compulsory
arbitration law is recommended to the
legislature.

drawn.

Washington, Got. 20.-President
Roosevelt has had long conference
with Secretary Taft and Assistant Sec
rotary Bacon, who made full report
of all that had occurred in Cuta since
the United States interviewed to restore
order.
Conditions In the island and the
views of the Officials as to the future
were discussed. the president desiring
thorough understanding of the stu
alton. The financial feature of the
Intervention also was taken up and
the possible appointment of q fiscal
agent for the United States was consid-
cred. It is expected that some respon-
sitle banking institution will be &C.
lected for this purpose. None Of the
conferees were willing to make more
than general statement regarding
the conversation.
Panama matters were also discussed.
It has been decided to appoint a gov
error as we'll as an American minister
for Panama, although the president
is not yet ready to announce the names
of the persons selected. When Gov.
Magoon was at the isthmus he filled
both positions.
Secretary Taft will not accompany
the president to the isthmus. The
present expectation is that the presi-
dent will not be accompanied by any
member Of his cabinet or other high
official.
Speaking generally of the results Of
his mission to Cuba and the prospects
for the political future Of that island,
Secretary Taft said that success had
been attained in one important point
at least, namely, the fighting had
been stopped, and he did not believe
that it would be renewed even after
the withdrawal. of American. forces

Gen. Bell to Return


It had been q difficult and dangerous
situation for the time, as the commits
sion had to deal with an undisoiplined
force of perhaps 10000 men under
arms and scattered about the island,
making it difficult to reach them di-
rectly. It was the real purpose of sum-
moning Gen. Funston to Cuba to as
sist in this work, for which he was
peculiarly qualified, owing to his ao-
quaintance with many of the leading
spirits of both sides, and in which he
was entirely successful. There had
never been any intention Of placing
him in command of the entire Ameri-
can forces, and when his work was
done in connection with the cessation
of active hostilities he returned to the
United States, according to the orig
inal plan.
Secretary Taft said that he is anx-
ious to have Gen. Bell return to Wash
ington as soon as possible, as he is
needed here in connection with bust
ness Of the general staff, but that
officer had worked 80 long and we'll In
the Philippines in precisely such prob
lens as now confront US in Cuba, he
speaks Spanish with such fluency and
understands the methods Of doing
business with such people as the Gu
bans 90 thoroughly that the secretary
feels he is the best representative he
can have in Ouha. The secretary
hoped, however, that it will be posi-
hle to recall Gen. Bell to Washington
in the course of q month or two.
Elections Before Evacuation
The secretary preserved his usual as.
t{tude when the question Of the length
Of time Of the American stay in Cuba
was brought up and said it was i'm
possible to make any prediction.
When the bad feeling stirred up by
the revolution has subsidized and there
Is ample assurance that elections can
be held without violence and with a
disposition to abide loyalty by the re-
suits on all sides, then only will the
retirement of the American forces be
in order.
Secretary Taft said that it will take
three or four weeks to install the new
government after the elections.
Relative to the disposition of the
military and Daval forces in Cuba, he
said that it had been decided to with
draw as soon as possible q number of
marines.
The marines will be replaced by
eildiers and the number Of these, Or
iginally fixed at {, 600 men, will prob
ably be increased to about 1000. The
secretary declined to state what pro-
portion Of the expense of this armywill
be charged against Cuban revenues
special order which he will issue
soon.
There Il no longer need for main
tanning q considerable naval force in
Cuban waters, 80 Secretary Taft has
recommended to the president, who
approved the suggestion, that all war
shipe now there be withdrawn. with
the exception Of two or three gunboats.
