HULL HOUSE REPUTATION
II has Grown Into Prominence as the
Mother House of Settlement
Training.

Nothing is more typical Of the rapid
growth of the Hull House
than its name and naming,
says The Delineator for October.
The old brick house was built for the
residence Of the Hull family Bus
with the constant changing of Chicago
the location became undesirable and
the Hulls moved away. The place
fell to the lowest ebb of fortune. yet
the neighbors still knew 1t as ''The
Hull House" When Miss Adams
and her friend. Miss Helen Starr,
found it. it was surrounded by the
remnants of a garden and a white
picket fence. They moved in to be-
come "de ladies what lives in the Hull
House"-most unusual ladies, too.
Now "de Hull House is brick and
stone pile. running from Ewing to Polk
street, and from the Halsted street
pavement back to the second alley
Already they have encroached with a
playground upon the remainder of the
block. This goes to make what is now
known as the mother house OF social
settlements. And people who are
entering upon the new profession come
from all the world to take their train
ing there.

WOMANKIIQD N
CORONATION
BRAID HINTS

Coronation braidworiS Is really a re-
vival of the old-fashioned rice-cord
work, and many of the designs which
have been made for its use are thor
oughly modern.
The braid of TODAY is a wonderful
improvement over that which was
formerly used.
It may be bought in several differ
ent sizes. and nowadays one has no
trouble in buying the cord in size
suitable to the background material.
The new cord is woven very smooth
and even. and one rarely meets with
an imperfect section. a feature which
often causes annoyance in the old
fashioned braid or cord.
Erhe braid may be purchased in col
ors. thus increasing its field of use
fWness.
EThere is no form of embroidery more
effective or more quickly worked up
than coronation work.

A wHIsKEY pEAL.

It Is currently reported and corrob-
Grated by many local politicians that
a deal was arranged between some
of the leading Republican Ring Poll
ticians and the whiskey men during
the last mayoralty campaign that all
opposition of the whiskey men should
be withdrawn at that time. so far as
the ring candidate for Mayor was con-
cerned, and the liquor men were
pledged 10 give their aid to the Re-
publican organization at the city cleo

that time. some of the Republican ring
politicians. so II Is stated promised to

given and the Mayor fail OF election,
the entire strength Of the Republican
organization would be thrown against

Many rumors are now gaining cur

present attitude OF prominent Repub-

Republican newspapers on the Local

Treatment For RIaekheads.

For blaclSheads and pimples, first, be
careful in your diet. Take a tea
spoonful of phosphate of soda in hot
water every morning before breakfast
and drink glassful of hot water every
night before retiring and before meals
Every night before retiring rub on
some good cold cream. Let this re-
main on the face for ten minutes. Then
rub this off with a towel. Then wash
the face in water as hot as you can
stand it. using some good pure soap
that suits your skin and a complexion
brush. Rinse thoroughly in clear hot
water, gradually reducing the temper
ature until it is cold. Then apply a
little dioXogen as a lotion. This inn

skin. Then massage for a few mo-
ments with cold cream. In the morn
ing rinse with warm water and rinse

apEoPLE STAND PAT

FOR THE LAW"
United States Senator William p
Frve, writing under date Of August
10, says:
Prohibition enforced, with popular
feeling favorable TO enforcement Will
be a success. In Maine we have an
efficient and stringent law against the
sale Of Intoxicating liquors, also an ar
ticle in our constitution providing that
no such liquor shall be distilled in the
State When the law was first en-
acted convictions for It's violation
were difficult, but enforcement soon
made friends and the difficulty was
overcome Any criminal law unen-
forced is gradually brought into con-
tempt and becomes worse than no law.
our statute has driven from all the
country portions OF the State the sale
and use OF alcoholic drinks. In the
cities enforcement is more difficult
but in those where popular sentiment
is behind it, violations are infrequent
officials whose duty is to enforce
must be honest. friends Of the law
and not open 10 bribery.
In my opinion, a good majority OF
our people stands pat for the law.
Very truly.

WOMEN As POLICE

Mrs: Julia Goldzier of Bayonne. N.
J.. is making strenuous efforts to
establish the policewoman as a per-
manent Arnerican institution. She be-
lieves that women on the police force
of cities win be a good thing; that
they can take care Of children much
better than men; that they can pre-
vent boys smoking and keep women
from entering saloons. She has a very
poor opinion OF man as a general ad-
junct of creation. and in a pamphlet
she has written and circulated she
calls him a typant and other things
equally complimentary. She has de-
signed a uniform for her policewomen
and appeals to all municipalities to at
least make the experiment Of appoint
ing women to the force-Chicago Daily

BOBBIN LACE

In making bobbin lace. It is con-
venient to know that. after the initial
stitches are known. the simple lace can
be copied by making a blue print from
a small piece Of lace desired. picking
the holes in it. using it as a pattern
for a scalloD or two and then con-
structing a complete pattern from IT,
Any of the lace paper patterns
should have a piece Of parchment Of
the same width wound around the
loom SPOOL beneath them.
The parchment is very tough, and
keeps the paper from tearing with
the repeated pinnings, and thus draw
ing the lace out of shape.

purports to be a challenge to debate
upon the subject Resolved that Pro-
hibition. does not Prohibit in Maine"
issued by William Thompson. repre-
senting the License committee.
While no formal challenge has been
received in writing by our committee,
we take it for granted that the state
ment in the Evening Journal OF Octo-
her 18th. is authentic. and that Mr..
Thompsoh really desires to debate this
question on a public platform. We
have submitted the reported challenge
10 Or. G. II. Meade. ID. D.. and while
DR.. Meade would be glad to discuss
this subject with Mr.. Thompson. or
any other representative of the License
committee. DR.. Meade is under engage
ment at this time 10 sneak upon the

committee. and because the subject in
its general application is Of much
greater import than would be the case

In order to accommodate Mr.. Thom-
son. however. arrangements have been
perfected BY which Horace G. East

House. this city. Immediately prior to

H. Meade on the general subject under

If Mr.. Thomson honestly desires to

Eastburn. win be on hand at three
o'clock promptly. prepared TO discuss

AS this challenge has been issued by
Mr Thomson. Mr. Eastburn is willing
that Mr.. Thomson should be the first
speaker. thus giving him the advant-
age Of opening up the subject and lay
ing before the public Of Wilmington
such arguments as he may be able r.
give for the existence and operation
of the liquor traffic in the State OF
Maine.
We have assumed that Mr.. Thomson
will accept this offer in good faith
and have therefore announced in ouI
column that such a debate viii take

he has not always been satisfactory

Laws which have for their object
the control of appetites or vices like
fornication. adultery or the drinking
of Intoxicating liquors are always
very difficult 10 enforce. The prohib-
itory law has not prevented the sale
and drinking of Intoxicating liquors
in Maine. In our larger towns and
cities it is sold. generally surrepti-
tiously, and not openly. In our
smaller towns and villages the saloon
has not been known for some time.
Il do not know where TO find a
small town or village in which intox-
icating liquors are sold contrary 10

law in Maine has been a very effect

use Of Intoxicating liquors in a large
part Of the State, and in fact in the

The selling and the public drinking
Of Intoxicating liquors IS decidedly un-

WOMEN AND RESTING
They Should Plan Their Labors With
Allowance for Relaxation.

The trouble with most women is
they don't know how 10 take things
easily, says The Delineator for Octo-
ber. They think that because they
have many things to which they must
give their attention. they must keep
S. .adily at work until the last task has
been accomplished. when. as matter
of fact. a minutes rest now and then
would give a great deal more energy
to be expended I'm disposing Of these
manifold duties.
Thus, if the housewife is her own
cook, she will find countless opportuni-
ties to rest a minute while working in
the kitchen. One woman has a lounge
there. 1t is not such a lounge that
she might place in her parlor, per-
haps, but it is a possible resting-place
and, what is also to the point, 1t cost
next to nothing. for she made it with
her own hands To do this she first
secured two long boxes from one Of
the neighboring stores. and these she
nailed together, end u end. Around
all four sides she tackled some strips
of dark-colored denim, and upon the
top of the boxes she placed a good,
thick mattress. which she had cover
ed with some attractive but washable
material. A soft pillow or two, COW
cred with the same material. added
the one touch necessary to make the
invention complete.
Comfortable? No. It may not be as
comfortable as a couch from the furni-
ture shop. but-will answer the pur-
pose.

There is little doubt that the thirty
eighth yearly campaign of the Pro-
hibition party IS bearing it's fruitage,
and that the sweep OF public senti-
ment is towards prohibition. Evil
dences OF the increase of prohibition
sentiment are so many and so strik-
ing that no argument IS needed to
prove the statement just made Vic
tory Is In the air, and in that fact
there is danger.
"Revolutions are not made with
rosewater. neither can victories for
the prohibition reform be achieved
without hard work and energetic
campaigning. We need TO remember
that we have not yet gained our vic
tory Public sentiment is coming our
way; the people are convinced that
the drink traffic IS an iniquitous insti-
tuition; they are beginning to see that
the only remedy for the evils of the

but they have not arrived at the point
where they are willing to act unitedly
on this belief.
It Is the duty OF our citizens re-

action possible. we have not yet
