COURSE IN sALEsNIANsHIP.
Is to Be Provided in the n. Y. Public
Schools.

New York. Sept. 19.-For the first
time in public school history a course
in saleswomanship, designed for retail
and department stores. will be 1ncor-
porated this year in the curriculum
of the evening high schools for wo-
men in New York city, which will
open next Monday night. The central
class in this course will assemble IN
school No. 81. Forty-second street,
near Third avenue.
The course. which extends over a
period of two years, will INCLUDE prac-
teal talks and scientific instruction IN
the art of selling, store organization,
commercial arithmetic, elementary
law, and manufacture of commerclal
products. AS many young women
NAV be prevented from completing
the two years work, it has been plan
ned that certificates be issued 10 all
pupils crediting them with the PERIODS
of work performed. This innovation
will be under the direction OF MISS
Diana Hirschler. 1t is the result or
mans formulated by w. H. Maxwell,
citv superintendent of schools TO ex-
tend the scope of Industrial education
afforded young women.
There are approximately $4,000 VIC

SYSTEM OUT OF DATE.
Government Expert Criticises To-
peka's Plan of Bookkeeping.

Clarence F. Gooding representing
the government census bureau has
been in the city the last few days go
ing over the accounts of the different
departments of the city and putting
them into form to make a report
which he will turn in to the govern
ment when finished. The government
sends man to each city of over So
600 inhabitants every year and
general report of the condition of the
city is made out. This report con-
Germs the finances, business, real
estate, population, sanitary and every
department of a city's government.
Mr.. Gooding has not completed the
work in Topeka. but his report up to
the present time covers some interest
ing material. He reports that the ac
counts of the city are in most excel
lent shape and compare very favor
ably with other cities of the same
class. The government officer says
that the. Topeka system of book
keeping is neat and well regulated
but as it is the old system of book
keeping he is not very greatly i'm
pressed with it. The government is
anxious to introduce a modern sys-
tenn into all of the city's books and
makethem uniform. This would be
great convenience to the government
agents and the reports could be made
out in much less time.
Topeka stands 125th as to popula-
ton. AS to the city's finances the
report by Mr.. Gooding states that the
bonded debt at the beginning of the
year was $1.794.O56.3O. The real es-
tate values for the year were $9,602,-
$50; personal property exclusive of
bank stock. 81 ,679, 500; bank stock
owned in Topeka, $415,450; railroad
property. $762.955. Next year these
figures will show a decided increase
on account of the new tax law. The
assessors tax for last year was 50 per
$100 for school purposes; $1.99 for
general city tax; As cents for state
tax; SO cents per 500 for county
tax. Special assessments during the
year, amounted to $119.935. The to-
tai tax levied in the city totalled to
s674,0O0. Automobile licenses brought
$140 and dog licenses ran up into the
thousands.
Another item Of interest is the re-
port of the street department for
1907. They collected $4,000 cubic
yards of street sweepings which
amounted to 9,019 wagon loads. Over
fifteen miles of cutters were flushed
on Kansas avenue during the year.
Mr.. Gooding is now working on re-
ports from the police station and the
number of arrests. cost of feeding the
prisoners etc, will be included in this
report. This will be completed in a

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot Go Together No Matter How a
Woman May Try to Make Them.

It does not matter how beautiful a
woman may be, If she is afflicted with
bad breath she will be stunned and
pitied by men and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts this statement
let her make a point of asking a friend
in whom she may confide. a man friend
or relative. If he be honest he will
tell her that foul breath from the
mouth of a woman will drive men from
her more rapidly than any other per-
sOnal aftiictiOn.
Foul breath arouses in man disgust
and where this quality is brought into
play no amount of self-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural re-
pugnance which comes to man when
he is in company with such a woman.
What is truce of bad breathin woman
Is not true in so great a degree in men,
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation of sweetness, breeding. virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will sick
en- a man so that he cannot feel for
such a woman companiOnship neces-
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath in either men or women.
Charcoal, the strongest absorbent
known. when taken into the stomach.
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affection.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are sold
In tremendous quantities all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms OF bad breath. A
single box will convince you of this
fact. One should eat some of these
lozenges after each meal and upon re-
firing. You might eat fifty of them
without harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
sweet honey to make them palatable
and compressed into a lozenge to pre-
serve their peculiar and lasting
strength.
The next time you wish to go into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you, eat several of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your
breath will be pure and sweet.
Every druggist carries them, price
rs cents, or send us your name and
address and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A

WEARING A WIG.

a Help Go the Health of Those with
Bald Heads.
An eminent American who while In
Paris consulted famous physician OF
that city to ascertain II there was any
comedy for badness was told by the
| doctor that the best thing to do was TO
wear a toupee or wig. The American
said that he always regarded the wear
lng of wig as an evidence OF a mans
vanity, but he was quite surprised
when the French physician replied:
"You are quite mistaken. The wearing
Of a wig is regarded by those who have
carefully studied the subject OF health
as a benehcent safeguard. A man who
from any cause has lost good part OF
his hair usually loses 1t some time aft.

seribed the wearing Of toupee or wig

and In nine cases out of ten after the
wig has been worn the susceptibility

stantly recurring In those who have
lost their hair and who have provided
no substitute for natures covering
Some cases Of chronic sore throat are
traceable to the same cause. In some
instances patients suffering from tu
berculosis of the lungs In the early
stages have found decided protection
from colds by wearing wig. Those
who need to wear wig and will not
do SO must be regarded as victims OF
vanity rather than those who, accept

their misfortune, for regard badness
as nothing less than a misfortune to

ADVERTISING AN ART.
But II shouii He Made AN Art That

| tuih ttNuty tAA service.
Advertising has indeed become an
art. II remains for Il to become, IL not
fine art, at least an art that calls
beauty TO its service. When 1t does.
much Of the energy that ~ now mis-.
directed, much Of the money that IL
now prodlgally wasted In destroying
the worlds beauty, will be saved.
The right procedure ls indicated by
The most conspicuous medium for pub
lie advertising. The press. In It's daily.
weekly or monthly forms, offers alto.
gether the best means for calling pub.
lie attention to all sorts OF things. The
best OF public journals--those which
are recognized as the most desirable
mediums for advertising and which
consequently obtain the highest prices
Tor their services--make Ii rule 10
classify and restrict In a judlclous
manner the advertisements that they
print They condne them to certain
parts OF the publication, they restrict
their display 10 certain decorous styles
Of types. recognizing that to admit n
heller Litter distribution through all
columns or to display them In incoher.
cnt fashion according to the whlms of
the advertisers would largely destroy
the very objects held In view. The
readers Of these journals would resent
the intrusion OF advertising matter In
to the space set apart for news, edl.
torials, etc. and the influence that
gives the advertising Its value would
decline.
In the same way the forms of ad-
vertising that now give exceeding Of.
fense to the community ought to be
restricted and kept within proper llm-
Its. If this were effected the practice
would change from the public nuis-

in considerable degree, might couple
