RAW APPLES ARE

point boldly declares that in this lies the
secret of healtllful longevity. They cor

Eat uncooked apples constantly, all
though. of course, in moderation, and
drink distilled water only, and years will

This argument is based on the suppo

q gradual process of ossitication.

Compulsory Arbitration and
Wise Laws Make for In

From the New York World

The remarkable experiments along
political lines that New Zealand has
been making have attracted the atten-
ton of the world. Nowhere else has
there been such u; zinc field for ex-
pertinent, and nowhere else have such
radical experiments made pecn SO sue

B"ilain and Ireland, and Il population
OF about ono million. "f whom u third
or more ere Maoris, the primo minister,
Sir Joseph Ward, WAS aDie t. announce
q few weeks g that the revenue
amounted to $40 0,c3a, the hia;hest on
record. During the last y wears only
one law has been passed increasing
~taAation-that imposing a graduated
lall,i tax on estates exceeding $20O,000 in
value. The object Of this law was not
reNenue but to induce large owners to
sell. Revenue is largely derived from
the STAGE railways and a graduated in
como tax.
The chief measures now being o
sidcred are an amendment of the civil
service, the Cancellation. arbitration and
mining acts and the proposed adoption
of old 6 pensions.
Not only has legislation been. adopted
with a view to diminishing the amount
of land being held by the large land
owners. but there will soon be 1000. 900
ment in the North island. Mr.. McNab.
minister of land and agriculture, in a
recent speech declared that unskilled
farm laborers were required in every
part of the dominion.
In the matter of strikes the concilia-
tion and compulsory arbitration acts
have on the whole worked we'll. Their
working. however, has revealed some
weak points, and these it is now pro-
posed to remedy. During the last 10
years there have been only is strikes,
and all these We're mall and short

street railway strike in May last. which
endured but a day. Yet it has become
manifest that the compulsory aTbitra-
ton and Cancellation acts need
strengthening. Parties to a strike are
inclined to disregard the fine for non
compliance and public sentiment Will
not yet tolerate imprisonment as a
penalty. The general impression seems
to he that New Zealand, like Now
South Wales in a recent act. must aim
at the suppression of the strike as a

A FOLDING HAT nox.

With the rnonstrous hats now in
it is necessary for each TO have
its individual hat box. SO clever pso-
pie have made boxes that may be fold
ed up and laid away liz the bottom
OF n trunk. They are covered with
c%retonne or brocade, and are every bit
as attractive as they sound. OF course.
the lid and h bottom of the box can
not be folded. but the sides may all
be laid together, With the result that
the box. when arranged for travelling,
is only an inc and a half high.
Almost every one packs her hats in
the regular hat trunks, but once ar
rived the larger affair may be rele-
gated to the trunk room and the num-
erous chapeaus each placed in it's own
special box.
