to the community which produced his
wealth and feel that we are done an
Injustice by his failure to put his
money in home enterprises which
would increase the business and pros
perity of our city. The criticism is
justified and it holds just as good in a
lesser degree to the man who trades
out of town. It is the same offenss
on smaller scale.
The effect of the reverse policy is
promptly seen. The writer has In

lumber trade in the two towns. The
millionaires of one of the cities are
putting their money into other indus"
tries in the same town as the lumber

rapidly forging to the front; every one
is prosperous, the demand for houses
exceeds the supply; property is Valu.

millionaires of the town across the
river are investing their money in
western and southern pine lands. The
town is languishirlg for lack of money;
new industries cannot start because OF
lack of capital; merchants are fail

Gated; people are moving away and
general air of poverty and decay per.

Few cities present such strong ex-
amples of the value o. money spent at

true in every community. It is due
every community to reinVest &le
money it produces in the community
which produces it.
The chance Of being swindled is an
argument used against trading with
the mail order houses. Goods adver-
tised at cut prices often fail to meas
ure up to the description of the adver-
tisement. The few cents which is
saved on the price of an article so
bought is usually sacrificed in the
quality of the article. Buying from the
mail order house is buying blind. A
purchaser never thinks of buying from
a home merchant without examining

Me SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS

Use of Rubber and Chamois Gloves
VIII Do Much to Retain Beauty
Importance of Drying
Perfectly.

All women engaged in Homework
or any occupation of disfguring
character to their hands should en-
ploy every available means of protect
ing them. Yet many women neglect
even the very simplest treatment of
improving and shielding these faithful
plodders, being guilty Of the very
things that initiate against their
preservation and beauty.
The very first thing to do is to in
vest in a pair of rubber gloves vari-
ously sold from SO cents to $3.50, &C.
cording to the quality of the rubber
and length of glove. These should be
worn when washing dishes, scrubbing
and whenever the hands require such
protection. For busting and dry clean
ing a pair of chamois gloves will pre-
vent the CRIME from getting into the
skin and making it rough. Two dol
lars so spent for gloves will repay a
woman so times, both in the appear
ance Of her hands and the prevention
OF needless suffering.
At least one size larger gloves than
is usually worn should be selected so
as to give free play to the muscles,
and If care is taken to cleanse the
rubber gloves after using, with soft,
warm water, they will last long
time, while the chamois gloves wash
beautifully.
The face should never be washed

FAIR JEWESs RECEIVES MEDAL
FROM ROYAL SOCIETY.
Enviabe Honor Enjoyed by Mrs. Her
tina Ayrton-First Person OF Her
Sex So Rewarded for Un-
aided Research. ~

LOndon.-Mrs. Hertha AyrtOn, who
is already known to some extent in
America, can now claim recognition
as England's foremost woman scient-
list. She Is the first woman in the
world to be awarded the Royal So
cietys medal for her own unaided eff
forts in scientific research. Nine.
Curie has the medal, it is true, but
it was awarded to her jointly with her
late husband for their renowned dis
covery of radium.
Oddly enough, Mrs. AyrtOn is also
the wife of renowned scientist; her
husband being Prof. w. e. Ayrton, the
distinguished electrical engineer and
inventor. She is to receive the Royal
sOciety's coveted medal on the last
day of this month, the occasion being
the annual banquet of this world
famous body. 1t was awarded to her
at recent meeting of the sOciety's
council because of her Investigations
on the electric arc and also as to the
nature of sand ripples.
Mrs. Ayrton enjoys two other en-
v1able distinctions She is the only
Electrical Engineers, and four years
ago was nominated a Fellow of the
Royal society This is the first time
the highest tribunal of English sci
ence had nominated a woman. 1t was
such an honor that it attracted i'm
mense attention everywhere, and opin-
ION was expressed that the election of
woman was illegal. The Royal So
c1ety thereupon took the highest judi
c1al opinion, which was that the coun-
Gil mad no power to elect a woman.
therefore. Mrs. Ayrton cannot put the
magical letters of 81. r. S." behind
her name.
She is we'll known in the United
States, for she visited there six wears
ago, and at the Electrical Congress
In Chicago read one of the most inter
esting of the papers.
AT 10, Mrs. Ayrton had graduated
and began to earn her living as q nro
lessor at Girton college, Cambridge
then In its infancy as a college for
women. She was surely the youngest
teacher in the history of Girton II

researches into mathematics and

prised her husband by writing a sub
stitute on the points he had noticed,
which he declared was better than the
original.
From that time on, she continued
her Investigations on her own ac,
count. For the past six years she has
given the electric arc her continued
attention. Now having completed her
work and solved the knotty problems
she will publish her results in book
form. 1t is partly for this that the
Hughes medal of the Royal society was
awarded her. Her other achievement
is establishing the cause and effect Of
sand ripples by the tides. This is In
valuable in the charting, navigation,
and ultimate Strengthening of winding
rivers. 1t was her first hobby as a
child on the seaside. Now she has
score of huge tanks, with sand and
pebbly bottoms. Sets Of rollers move
the waters, and the onloOker can see
the sand gradually forming into rip
pies.
