BEAUTY OUT OF A BOTTLE.
That fresh air, plain living and ex-
ercise will not produce beauty with
out assistance is the message of John
Strange Winter MRS. Stannard), in
a series of articles on this all impor-
tant subject in Home Notes. These
things may produce a lovely skin to
start with, as it does in Ireland, she
says, but if woman wants to pre-
serve her complexion and not fade at
thirty, as the Irish do, she must have
resource to artificial means. Men
may scott as much as they like, but 1t
is the plain truth, Mrs. Stannard
says, that one can get beauty out of
a bottle" The body requires to be
nourished from within, of course, but
it does not follow that it is useless to
nourish it from without. mo food,
however good and however whole

culture which is the portion OF the
woman who has no terror of bottles
or gallipots. l am not recommending

hiding the ravages of time is as bar
barous a proceeding as putting on

the skin of lovely child. She has

occasional use Of distilled water, of
the oatmeal bag, Of fine and delicate
creams, and the intelligent use of It's

She says she has been impelled to join
the movement for humanitarian rea-
sons. She visited recently Glasgow,
Liverpool, Manchester and other large
Industrial centres, and the poverty OF
the workwomen touched her heart.
1t compelled her to believe that their
condition could be bettered if the in
fluence of women were used in select
ing members Of Parliament.
She also sees political justice in the
demand for woman suffrage. She
believes strongly in the wisdom OF the
lawmakers of Australia, who have
enfranchised women.
There is also," she adds, "the ia

MRS. ARCHIE HAMILTON'S VIEW.
Several of the New York newspa-
pers have recently published articles
advocating the whipping post for
wife heaters and like offenders, re-
marked Mrs. Archie n. Hamilton, OF
Philadelphia. The Idea is aDhorrent
to enlightened sentiment of to-day,
and 1 do not believe for an instant
that the proposal could obtain popu-
lar Endorsement If it were practicable
to get an expression at the polls. The
whipping post is the last relic of more
barbarous days and the disappearing
emblem of those who centuries ago
Endorsed the Inquisition and all its
horrible devices of torture.
ct is doubtless true that the con-
troll and reclamation of wife heaters
is a problem which has not been fully
worked out. However, there should
be no more talk of the whipping post.
Surely some other effective punish
ment can be devised which will stop
the disgraceful and inhuman practice
of wife beating and make it unneces-
sary for US to resort to the use OF
relic of barbarism."

Money constitutes an unimportant
This statement will delight those who,
while they dearly love to have money
paid over to them, have been made
nervous blythe assertions Of alleged sci
entists that it swarmed with vicious
bacteria and might be the carrier Of
dangerous diseases. The alarmiStS who
find deadly germs lurking everywhere
and Insist that everything be sterilized,
from a cracked china cup to a tele-
phone mouthpiece, say that gold and
silver coins are not harmless and that
currency, especially when soiled, as it
often is, may be deadly. The debtor
who passes some over to an eager cred
itor may also hand over to him tuber-
culosis or diphtheria. Such is the will
lingness of men to accept cash when
rendered that 1t is doubtful whether
anybody has insisted on sterilization
preceding the transfer. If it were in
sisted on the debtor might change his
mind about paying But no doubt
many who would not have been dis
turbed If told that the money they
were receiving was morally tainted
have been made uneasy by the posi-
bility Of a physical faint. Such per-
sons will be relieved in mind by an ar
ticle In the Popular Science Monthly.
The writer made some laboratory ex-
periments with dirty bank notes. He
found that they abounded In bacteria.
One of them, the cleanest bill he used,
had 405, 900, while the dirtiest had only
$4,000. But the forms he found were
nonvirulent. That is, the bills he test
ed would have harmed nobody. He
inoculated some guinea pigs with the
cultures he made, but the susceptible
FEATURES were not even temporarily i'll.
Further research served only to
strengthen the belief of the investigator
that the dangers said to besetthe money
handler are largely imaginary. There
can be no better proof than the fact
that bank tellers and clerks and the
employees Of the United States treasur=
er, In whose Office all dirty money
lands, do not contract infectious dis
eases any oftener than other people.
The sterilization Of paper money
would be an unending and needless pre-
caution, but there are many who OBJ
ject to dirty money. They like the
crackle Of crisp bills as women do the
froufrou Of a silk petticoat Bankers
do not, for new bills cannot be counted
so quickly as those that have been in
use. A more frequent redemption of
the smaller notes, which circulate rap
idly and get soiled quickly, is desira-
BILE. That would mean more expense
and work, but the plain people would
be pleased. They will take dirty money
without grumbling, but they prefer
fresh bills.

PRoFITLEss BURGLARIEs.

Crimes Which Resulted I'm Little or
No Booty for Perpetrators.
A new record as regards the small
ness of the booty captured has been es-
tablished by a burglar who broke into
a warehouse in North London the
other day, says Pearson's Weekly. He
obtained access to the place through
the roof, and came provided with a coil
of new rope which he utilized to clam
Der down to the ground from fourth
story window after having gone
through the premises. He found 1 far
thing which had been accidentally left
in a drawer by the cashier. And he
had to leave behind him his coil Of
rope, worth 1 sovereign.
Hardly more fortunate were the two
thieves who burgled st. MichaePs
Church, Lichfeld, a few weeks back,
using nitroglycerin to blow open the
safe In the vestry. Ordinarily, this
contained much valuable plate; but, as
it happened, the whole of it had been
removed elsewhere a short while pre-
viously, and all the raiders found was
1 halfpenny.
In another recent case reported to
the police, two burglars effected an en-
trance into q mansion in Nottingham
shire. They came in motor car, and
one watched while the other burgled.
The latter gathered together a sack
full Of silver plate and was preparing
to leave by the scullery window when
he accidentally set going an electric
burglar alarm. This so frightened him
that he dropped his load and fed.
After a while, however, as nobody
seemed to have been aroused, he ven
tured back. He grabbed what he
thought was the sack of silver, but
which in reality contained nothing
more valuable than a quantity of old
iron and bottles, which the servants
had collected in readiness for the
weekly visit Of a rag-and-bone man.

Nothing has ever come Of the talk Of
taxing bachelors in America. In Strass-
burg, Germany, the town council has
adopted q system Of paying municipal
employees, which puts in effect a tax
not only on bachelors, but on married
men with small families. A standard
schedule OF salaries has been arranged
adapted to the needs of married men
with three children. Single men be-
tween the ages of 20 and % years re-
ceive 10 per cent less than the sched-
ule salary. When a man has more than
three children he receives per cent
more than the standard schedule, 10
per cent more for five children, and
10 per cent more if he has seven chill
iren. A similar system has been in OPP
GRAFTON in Halberstadt for some time,
with this difference, that the extra al
Iowances for children are paid directly
to the mothers.

His Alternative.

It is best to keep ones personal dig
nifty at whatever cost. A BETTING
sense of what is due one never comes
amiss, even within prison precincts.
This truth was appreciated by an Irish
man whose expression of it is quoted
by Michael MacDonagh, in Irish Life
and Character" The prisoner, refrac-
tory and obstinate, fatty refused to
work in the treadmill.
The man was brought before the Gov
ernor of the prison for disobedience.
The Governor asked him what reason
he could give for not following out his
orders.
''Me go on the treadmill !" exclaimed
the prisoner, drawing himself UP to his
full height of offended dignity. ''Never,
sir! I'd rather lave the Jail frst!"

It is common for victims of automo-
bile disasters to lay the blame for their
mishaps on the conditions of the road.
But such is not sufficient. 1t is incum-
bent upon the driver of a car to feel
that he is himself chiefly responsible
for his own safety. The exhilaration
OF speed is very great. The sense of
power in running a motor car is almost
overwhelming. But none of these
things should be permitted 10 inspire Il
reckless disregard of them. The roads
should, OF course, be made as safe as
possible, and all who use them should
exercise discretion, but above all else,
