QUALITY, NOT QUANTY,
OF CHILDREN IMPORTANT

Bloomington, Ills. Oct. l9.-Near-
" three hundred delegates present at
the Illinois Federation of Women g
Clubs this week heard from Mrs. Adlai
e. Stevenson, wife of the former vice
president, the "humane" side of the
race suicide argument.
ssThere is no thoughtful woman in
America said Mrs. Stevenson, who
has not been more than startled by the
appeal for larger families. While this
appeal has been most urgent, do not
recall that there has been one word in
reference to the healthier life OF the
mother. nor has the ability OF the
mother, physically, mentally, morally,
spiritually or financially, to rear chill
dren been touched upon
''The question should not be how
many children, but their condition
and what kind Of citizens they will
make. The plea that some thought
should De given to prolonging the life
Of the mother and thus protect the
babes. should occupy first place in the
work of mothers clubs. The size OF
the family is Of less Importance.

Wise Plan to Save.

Never mind what the method, save
little. If you can only afford cents
a week, save it and do not think it too
small to bother with. A woman with
a small bank account Of her own or
with some little savings invested in a
strong financial institution, can never
be as utterly crushed to earth by any
kind of misfortune as the one who, in
addition to her other troubles, has not
a penny to help herself with. You
may have rich friends who are willing
to come to your aid in an emergency,
but with your own little capital> you
will have a feeling of independence
which Is one of the most satisfactory
feelings in the world to have. Try 1t
once and see. 1t is only at the begin
ming that women have to be urged to
save Just as soon as they realize the
satisfaction Of 1t, they are quite ready
to go on without any further urging.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Nothing assists the healthful action
Of the skin like hard rubbing with a
rough towel or bath brush.
Moth patches are so frequently a
sign of a disordered condition of the
blood that it is we'll to consult a physi-
cian as to their treatment
People with greasy skins will find a
little bOrax or ammonia added to the
water Of the bath excellent to take off
the much-despised shine.
Headache sufferers should never
sleep with closed windows, winter or
summer. Opening the window in the
next room won't do. You must have
fresh air from outside.
Bad teeth are not only disfguring
but positive menace to the health.
Many a woman considers herself a
chronic sufferer from neuralgia when
all she needs is a visit to good den
list.

Business success for the woman does
not mean domestic or individual happi.
ness, and, on the whole, business life
makes for restlessness, selflshness, and
discomfort. You can not measure the
influence Of business On the woman by
figures or statistics.
You can not count wrecked lives
among women wage-earners as you can
tally of divorce cases on court calen-
dars, and trace them to certain causes
such as incompatability, desertion,
cruelty, etc. You can not say that q
woman in business is a failure or sue
cess according to the salary she draws.
You can not expect the trim, self
contained girl at your elbow to admit
that her perfectly appointed little
apartment becomes a whited sepulchre
in perfectly ordered life of dinners,
clubs, theaters, and opera parties spells
failure
She says she Is a success. In her
heart she knows that when the last
guest has gone, and the trim little maid
has been dismissed, the exquisitely ap-
pointed little apartment becomes a
whited sepulchre in which the starved
soul of the woman sits alone weeping

LABOR COUNCIL GOES
into COAL mining

Seattle, Oct. 18.-At the meeting
in the Labor Temple to consider the
coal proposition last night the pur-
chase of coal mine was Endorsed BY
the Central Labor Council and the
committee was empowered to 20 ahead
with the business ARRANGEMENTS al.
ready entered into.
This action pledges the Central La
Dor Council to purchase 200, 600 shares
OF stock at rs cents share in the Su-
perior Coal Mining Company, which
Is capitalized at $500, 900. The par
value OF the stock is 81. In consider
alton of taking up the block of stock
labor will be entitled to three of the
five trustees on the board of manage
ment. These were elected last even
Ing andare R. A. Hicks, b. F. Boulton
and G. s. Munroe.
The mining property of the company
is situated near Issaquah, two and
three-quarters miles from the North
ern Pacific railroad. A road has al
ready been graded from the mine to
the Northern Pacific railway and is
ready for the steel.
The mines are developed to such an
extent that shipping can be COM
menced at once, the managers say, but
with further work the shipments can
be maintained on a much larger scale
aud the $50, 600 derived from the sale
of the stock will be devoted to quail
flying the mine for good output.
Prof. Minor Roberts, of the state
School of Mines, has made favora-
BILE report on the property. 1t en-
braces four coal veins, all of good
quality and in quantity and location
favorable to economical mining.
The coal committee of the Central
Labor Council has information show
ing that the coal can be mined at a
cost of 81, and until the railway spur
to the Northern Pacific is completed
carriage to Issaquah will cost $1.2s,
and freight from that place to Seattle
is 65 cents ton. They figure that it
can be marketed in Seattle at about
S.. so q ton.

What kind of expression do you wear
habitually?
Is it sour, morose, repellent?
Do people look happier when you ap-
proach them, or do they shrink from
you?
It makes all the difference In the
world with your prospects for success
in either society or business what sort
of expression you wear.
The candidate for success should
learn the power of smile, not only
because it wins friends, but because its
power over ones life is Unreasonable.
The effort to be always kind, consid-
crate and gentle, no matter what may
be ranking in the heart, has great
influence in transforming life.
