thy With Policy.

Victor II. Metcalf, who viii soon
reIinquish the Commerce and Labor
portfolio to become Secretary Of the
Navy. IS in hearty sympathy with the
Administrations policy to upbuild the
navy. Secretary Metcali is a believer
in biz battleships, and thinks that
special attention should be given 70
the development OF that arm Of the
service. -
In the Fifty-sixth Congress Mr..
Nefealf was a member 81 the house
Committee on Naval Affairs ana TOOK
n deep interest in the business that
body. III was Oh mis- motion that the
House Committee in the Congress
named and authorized two battle
ships. Mr. Meiealf made an argument
al the time in favor of more battle
ships in preference 10 gunboats or
other vessels of the smaller type. lie
proposed thee battleships, but . COM
promise was effected on two.
The changes in the Department Of
Commerce and Labor the Navy De
oarttneut and the Department of JUS
lice, incident to the retirement Of
Attornev-fseneral Moody from the last
named Department, viii in all proba
bilfty take place soon after Congress
meets. II is the expectation, unless
there is change of programme, that
the nomination of Mr.. Moody 10 be
an Associate Justice Of the United
states Supreme Court, Will be sent 70
the senate day or So after Congress
meets. Then Mr.. Bonaparte will move
from the Navy 10 the Department OF
Justice, and Mr.. Metcalf from Com
merce and Labor TO thes.Navy. Oscar

his duties as Secretary of Comm erce
and Labor, coincident with the trans

Answer--In this State, yes. How
ever laws relating to married women
vary in different states, and it is
well TO consult the statutes of the
State where the particular property
may be1situated. In Maryland mar
ried woman is regarded as having a
distinct and separate entity apart
from her husband, and she may ac-
quire, hold and devise property as
though unmarried. But married
woman under eighteen may not dis
pose of property without the hus-
bands cognizance. III. j. f.

JAP MIDDY'S RETIREMENT
1t Was Not Prompted BY Japanese
Authorities.

Advice from Toxic, Japan, states:
The allegation that the retirement
of Midshipman Asahi Kitagaki from
the Naval Academy was due to the re-
quest of the Japanese Embassy at
Washington is deemed at Toxic TO be
impossible, as the Japanese government
has carefully avoided anything likely
To provoke the United States. Nj.
Kitigaki's parents are without word
from him, but it is believed his retire
ment was entirely voluntary, and in
no way connected with the situation
at San Francisco.
II was announced from Washington,
October %, that, according TO the in
formation given out at the Navy De-
partment, the sole reason for the resig-
nation Of Midshipman Kitigaki, who
is son of Baron kitigaki, of tho
imperial privy council. was deficien-
cy in his studies. He entered the
Naval Academy in 1904.

Answer-Common sense and neigh
borliness have more to do here than
any precise legal principle. The>best
thing for you To do is to politely re-.
quest your neighbor to quarter his
fowls elsewhere, if possible. IL he
refuses, about the only thing left for
you to do is to keep your sitting room
windows smut. OF course that may be
inconvenient. but generally speaking,
your neighbor has as much right to
have chickens on his premises as you
to maintain dog or cat or any other
animal on yours, and if the wind
blows the dust and odor your way,
that is not his fault. Very likely
your neighbor is not acting with ma
licious intent, hence gentle hint TO
him respecting the condition should
be sufficient.

doing in regard to the black note that is creeping into the fashions. At the Casino dance I specially noticed it, and 1t was used in the smartest of ways. Therefore, my frill, which l respect fully submit to the club this morning, Is a little ribbon velvet bolero all in black. I am making one for myself of black ribbon bands, alternating with narrow bands of black lace insertion. It has full elbow sleeves, and I know when I wear it with my light-eolored summer clothes it is going to look too smart for anything"
 sThere is no denying that everything is the little wrap just now.

She wrote me an awful funny letter, deN picting the way my good money was being rung from me. and told me lot of new little things about the fashions. She, too, spoke of the black tendency, and said that big black and white checked silk skirts were being worn by the really truly Parisiene. She said that all the French women were caring natural foer or two some where on their costume, and the rarer the flower, the better they liked it.
 "She also added, often ear natural flowers as a hat trimming, changing them two and three times day
 "she said she had never dreamed of anything like the hatpins, that it was toss-up whether they reminded her more of a hens egg or a stocking darner The majority of them are made of tortoise shell or amber, and some are studded with little gold nail- heads. Others are of big pieces of pink coral, and even when they are of gold and jewels they are bigger than any hatpin that she had ever seen be- fore. ."-Woman's Home Companion.

TIGHT HOSE WORSE THAN TlGHT
 SHOES.

SHOES.
 Worse even than narrow toes is the habit that many women have of buy ling hose too small for their feet and wearing them constantly,
 It is needless to say that binding flesh in tight stockings is one of the most harmful forms of lacing, because it restricts circulation, And when that is impaired the individual be- comes a prey to all sorts of ailments, which, by the way, not only manifest themselves in corns and callouses, but by affecting the general health.
 Stockings too large, the other ex- treme, are also bad, but the ill effects they cause are not to be compared with the wearing of tight hose. When they are too long and wrinkle over the in- step and under the arch of the foot they cause callous places and the folds of the material pressing Into the flesh frequently irritate the skin, because of the constant friction of rubbing up and down with every step taken.
 The ideal stockings have broad toes, so that the feet can lie straight in them. They should fit close to the flesh, not snugly enough to be uneom- fortable, but just shape themselves nicely to the feet. Once such hosiery is put on no other kind will ever be purchased again.
 The seams are, of course, small and soft and if possible get the styles that have them on the outside of the foot instead of down the center, where if the threads are drawn trifle tight they often chafe the fiesh.-Indianap ] lis News.

cises will oxidize upper tissues some- what; but when fat Is not replaced by muscle it has a strong tendency to re- form. Running, therefore, splendid ex- ercise though it is, should be supple mented by vigorous upper exercises.
 As most of stout persons fat &C., cumulates about the abdomen, abdomi- nal exercises to draw large quantities of oxygenated blood to that part are i'm portant. Here are two:
 First-Lie fiat on your back on the flour or in bed, and after placing the toes beneath some sufficiently firm ob ject rise slowly to a sitting posture; then sink slowly back. Repeat until tired.
 Second-Lie as before, but with the feet free; now raise the legs, extended straight. slowly up, back and over the head; bring them down again slowly. Repeat until tired.
 Another home exercise, as excellent for the triceps, chest and wrists as for the abdomen, is to support the body, maintained rigidly straight, face down. ward above the floor, by means of the hands, and toes; now, allowing the low CT point to do duty as a fixed fulcrum, bend the arms until the chin touches the floor; then push up to straight arm again. Repeat until tired.
 Digging a trench, shovelling coal wood chopping, moving furniture, car rying loads-being general exercises are all excellent for the health as well as for the general strength; but that kind of work is inconvenient for many and may be practised habitually only by those who earn their living there- by.
 The advantages dumbbells possess over apparatus are many. Easily DOT table and occupying but little space they can be kept in ones own room, where they may be used conveniently at ones leisure; and the busiest man has some leisure, if only at the time he retires.
 Again, the stout and inactive, who would find exercises with apparatus difficult, can easily learn how to handle dumbells. Lastly, and this is perhaps their chief advantage, dunbbells may be of sizes to suit particular strengths.
 That it is healthful to exercise just before retiring has been disputed. Per sonaiy, while I admit that night may not be the best time to exercise, be lieve it is a better time than before breakfast; for in the early morning vita1fty is lowest and the blood haj | least nutritive power
 First curling and then putting up twt 1 moderatly heavy weights simultane ously is an exercise that imposes a considerable strain upon, and therefore | develops greatly all the important muscles and organs in the body.
 The stout subject, however, should 1 use only those dumbbells that are ligh enough to allow him to repeat tn | double movement of curling and push ing eight or ten times. Curl and pusl as follows: Grasping a dumbbell il each hand, stand with the body in clined slightly forward and with tn logs straight and little apart; nov turn the palms upward and curl tn
 weights to tho shoulders by at ono fexing the wrists and arms an,
