Easily Made skirts.

Half the time may be saved and a
much smoother fit be secured by first
plating each gore according to direc-
tions before sewing seams together
All plaits may be machine stitched
excepting hip gore, where all the fit.
ting should be done by simply tapping
plat on that seam. Paste cores only
as far as hip length until fitting is
done. Then sew seams on under side
from hip down to do not press open,
but press in the plait that comes on
that seam. There will be no Fuckers
at seams and a full plat skirt may
be made in half the time 1t takes

and then plating in the old way.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re.
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de
cided 10 make no radical changes I'm
the new insurance law. IL was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide.
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits 20 policyholders, and that It
should be given a thorough trial be.
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement OF the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount TO many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze Of the big companies and the ex-
cessiye cost of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old managements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced. along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was n strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving Of over $2,000000 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1942f5 in 1904, 1889 in
1905, and only 14.4S95 in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy.
holders in 1906 amounted to s7,2S9, ,734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made n better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and un.
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as it stands.

A New Typhoid Terror

Although the discovery OF new
riers Of disease germs, should be an
announcement to the scientific worker
as tending toward th9 more accurate
application OF preventive measures,
the knowledge that the typhoid infec.
tioE is being carried about in scores
Of supposedly healthy persons will
prove rather alarming To the medical
profession II is well known. Of course,
that the typhoid bacillus sometimes
persists for years In certain portions
Of the human anatomy, and that II is
always to be found for a time during
convGlescence, but the possibility that
healthy and apparently robust ind-
viduals may be carriers OF the deadly
germs, and that the arrest and isola.
tion Of such carriers may come TO
be part OF the public campaign
against the disease. is a comparatively
recent aspect OF the question The
discovery OF this added danger should
serve TO emphasize the importance OF
scrupulous care in ascertalning the
health and antecedents OF household
servants, says Philadelphia Ledger In
a particular case that led to the dis
covery Of one aggravated instance OF
typhoid carrier" six persons In a
single family epcloped the disease
within few days after the arrival of
a new cook. After every other possi-
bic source OF contamination had been
investigated and found guiltless, an
inquiry as to the cook revealed the
startling fact that during the five
years previous ,at least 26 cases Of
typhoid were associated with her serv.
ice in seven different families. She
was detained. and a archaeological ex-
animation revealed he to be a chronic
typhoid fever producer.

GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES.
Double Enders Popular Among smok.
ers In Mexico.

Mexico may be behind us in some
things. but she has us lashed to the
wheel when It comes to making
matches" said a man just in from the
land OF the Montezumas as he handed
out a wax lucifer with a head on each
end.
Il saw nothing but double ended
matches while | was away, and can
tell you that they save ones record
with the Recording Angel. II you dig
down in your pocket and find one
match the chances are that you are
sure OF light, because II one end
goes out the other is left. These old
time matches. Just revived, that splut-
ter brilliant sparks may be all right
when It comes to pleasing the baby,
but the fellow who Frts on the mar
ket a double ended match will find
a ready demand"

WENT TO TEA
And II Wound Her Bobbln.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo.
pie as badly as coffee. A lady in Sails.
bury, Md, says that she was com
PEELED to abandon the use OF coffee a
good many years ago. because 1t
threatened 10 ruin her health and that
she went over TO tea drinking, but
finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed TO agree with her
She further says: "As this time I
was induced 10 take up the famous
food drink, Postum, and was so much
pleased with the results that | have
never been without 1t since. com
menced to improve at once, regained
my twenty-five pounds OF flesh and
went some beyond my usual weight.
Il know Postum TO be good. pure,
and healthful, and there never was an

that does so surely take the place Of

Recreation for WORKING People.

Turning from the more substantial
features OF Industrial betterment to
what may be called it's lighter. though
not less important side, there are all
sorts Of opportunities for recreation. A
large factory or department store has
n social life all its own; there are
clubs. athletic, social. literary and
musical. The sensible outdoor life OF
the English leads to open.air match
games. tennis. bowling. cricket and
swimming for the men, croquet and
tennis for the women. Compulsory
gymnastic exercises are given in the
company's time by physical directors.
Where there is plano in the recrea-
tion rooms dance or concert bright
ems the noon hour. says Mary II. Gran
ston, In the Reader. Picnics and vaca-
tion camping parties in summer
take the place of dances and match
ball games in winter. The saloons
have found n powerful rival in the
latter. for practice at noon leaves little
time and less inclination for beer or
other stimulants. Dublin, Ireland.
Pittsburg and New York may boast
the distinction Of roof gardens for EN-
ployes. II is queer that roofs are not
more frequently used in cities where
it is so diflcut to make any kind OF
Improvement without great expense.
For very little the roof OF the average
factory could be made a Joy forever
and a great safeguard by keeping
young people from idling in the streets
at noon

Spots on Books.

Ink spots or writing may be re.
moved from a book by applying spir.
its of salts diluted with five or six
times their bulk of water, which may
be washed off in two or three min
utes with clear water. A solution of
oxalic, citric, or tartarlc acid will an.
swer the same purpose, as none of
them will affect the printing. Grease
spots may be removed by laying pow.
dered pipe clay on both sides of the
paper and applying an iron as hot
as may be without scorching the pa.
per. This will also take grease spots
from colored leather bindings.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as It can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great
er strength than othe- makes.
