Exercise Necessary 10 beauty.


The woman who is determined to re-
tain her youth and keep her figure sup
pie and girlish does not fail to practise
some simple physical exercise every
day in connection with her beauty
toilet. Gymnastics keep the muscles
firm and hard, and IL the muscles are
allowed to sag and grow fabby there
is no greater proof of advancing years,
neither can there be any claim to the
beauty of face and figure, which after
all is something that should hold the
interest and thought of every woman,
Hopping is one of the best exercises
for developing muscles. 1t is easy to
do. too, for one movement consists of
jumping first on one foot and then on
the other, so that the whole weight of
the body will be borne by one foot and
leg for one or more mute This
exercise improves the way of carrying
the body when walking, for 1t develops
balance as well as muscle.
This exercise should be taken when
going to bed, and the windows should
be open, SO there will be plenty of
fresh air in the room. While hopping
breathe deeply.
II one is quite sure that the floor COW
ering is soft 1t will be a good thing to
hop barefooted, but there is always a
little risk in being without shoes, and
soft-soled slippers by no means detract
from the efficacy of the treatment.
There should always be a rug or other
padding on the floor that the spine may
not be Jared.
If the work is found difficult to do
be content with trying it three times
at first. If the next morning one Is
stiff this will do no harm, and merely
demonstrates that muscles hitherto un
used are being brought into play.
The number of times the exercise Is
done with one foot must be repeated
with the other. Only in this way can
even development be assured.
If to gain flesh as well as muscle Is
desired the outward application of q
tissue-building cream will be found
helpful, and at the same time will make
both cords and muscles more supple,
preventing or curing lameness.
To make this lotion put an ounce OF
mutton tallowa and one and a half
ounces of virgin wax into a china basin
and set in a pan of boiling water. Add
four ounces of mutton tallow, and as
all grows liquid put in three ounces of
sweet almond oil. Into a jar pour one
ounce of rose water and one ounce of
Portugal extract with one gill Of white
brandy and shake well. Pull the pan

Public opinion is discussing the pun
ishment that ought to be inflicted on
criminals. This recalls the fable of the
bear whose kin was sold before II was
caught. Before thinking of the punish-
ment of assassins it would be well TO
consider how to catch them. No doubt
every one would sleep the more calmly
if a terrible law were passed against
burglars. The latter could, moreover,
go to bed none the less calmly. since it
would still remain a question OF capeg
turing them.-La Journal, Paris.

Her Hair Is Short.
Dear Madame Alta:
1 am ayconstant reader of THE EVE

for a recipe for some good tonic to
make my hair grow. Last summer q
year ago 1 had a serious sickness and
had to nave my hair cut. That Is more
than a year ago now and my hair Is
not coming in very fast. I ave a great
deal of dandruff. more now than before
my hair was cut, and 1 thought since
my hair is short 1t would be easier to
get rid of It,. l will be very grateful
for your advise. ANXIOUS.
While 1t was good to have your hair
cut after your illness. you also needed a
tonic to stimulate the scalp and leave
the roots in a healthy condition. An
excellent tonic for you condition is
made as follows. Procure from your
druggist:
Vinegar of cantharides, l ounce.
Cologne water, / once.
Glycerine of borax, / ounce.
Ado sufficient distilled water to make
six ounces, and rub the mixture into
the roots Of the hair every night with
the tips of you fingers.

the following: Yolk of one egg, one
J pint of hot rain water, or soft water,
one ounce of spirit of Beat
all together thoroughly and use 1t
warm after washing the hair. Be sure
you rub it well into the scalp and rinse
thoroughly in several waters. This
should free your scalp from dandruff
II you keep you head scrupulously
clean and well rid of dust.

go hand in hand, and that no free
people, loving liberty and knowing
their rights, should submit to be
taxed in councils where they have
neither voice nor vote.
In Great Britain, the Revolution in
which King Charles I. lost his head
was largely caused by the widespread
indignation against the intolerable
government of the country by the
Star Chamber-a body of five public
officials which met behind closed
doors and arbitrarily exercised the
most tremendous jurisdiction over the
liberty and the property of the citi-
zens. Yet, in free America, in a re-
public Of eighty-fve million people,
We know it to be a fact that there
are five men, five railway kings, who
can meet in private Office in Wall
Street, New York, and by a change
in freight and passenger rates, tax
every man, woman and child in Amer
lea, and take into their own Golfers
millions upon millions of the dollars
which other peoples labor produced.
Second. We have been acquies-
cent, patiently submissive, while Con-
gress has for thirty years legislatel
in favor of corporate capital, giving
to the manufacturing class such adj
vantages over every other class that
foreign competition amounts to al
most nothing; and we are taxed by
the trusts growing out Of the tariff
to such vast extent that the yearly
net revenues of the manufacturers,
as shown by the official statistics, ex-
ceed the two billions Of dollars voted
away by the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis at the last session of the Roose-
welt Congress.
Third. While we have protected
the corporate capital of the United
States to such an extent that foreign
competitors cannot modest its gather
ing and heaping up of riches-pro-
tected to such an extent that it can
sell its products cheaper in China
than it will sell them here in Amer
ica-we have allowed the labor of the
old world to enter through the doors
of immigration, and the capitalist
who is protected from the entrance
of foreign competitive money can
bring in foreign competitive labor to
beat down and keep down the wage
of American labor.
Fourth. We have surrendered to
the privileged capitalists the sover-
eign power Of creating currency, in
tended to be used as money, and
which is used as money--a power
which the Constitution denied to the
States themselves, surrendering it to
private individuals to be used for pri-
vate gain. Thus we have allowed our
government to be shorn Of its royal

Price Five Cents

Pi0AoSoC1Fe, anu we ma ourselves at
the mercy Of those who control the
available cash Of the country.
Every business man Of every Sec
ton of this Union-the merchant. the
farmer, the small manufacturer, the
country bank-the last one Of them,
feel that they do business at the mer-'
cy OF higher powers in the financial
world; that they hold their lease on
commercial life and commercial pros
perlty at the pleasure of men higher
up-men whose law-given advantages
enable them to concentrate the avail
able cash supply of the country in
New York, to hoard it there, to deny
to the country at large the free circu-
lation Of the ife-blood of commerce
money-and thus cause congestion,
paralysis, panic.
Who is it that does not know that
these things are so? Who is it that
doesn't feel that the people of the
country did not do those things them
selves? Who is it that will not con-
cede that the rank and file of the
Democratic party, as we'll as the
rank and file Of the Republi-
can party, are at heart OPP
posed to these abuses of government,
and would tonight annihilate them if
an honest mans blow would do it?
How then have we been brought to
such a pass? We are supposed to
govern ourselves, and to be the SOW
ereigns Of this republic. But we have
surrendered our own birthright. We
have allowed to slip out of our hands
those powers our ancestors fought for
eight years to secure. We do not
take the initiative in making laws.
There is no right of ours which we
can assert. We have no method bv
which we can remove from office the
representative who betrays us. We
have no method by which we can
arrest law which we abhor. We
have no method by which we can com
pei those who represent us in the Leg
islature, or in Congress, to enact the
legislation which we know the coun-
try needs. The machines of both the
old parties rule. The secret caucus
dominates. The Darkroom influence
controls those who are supposed to
be controlled by the people at large.
Every intelligent observer knows
that something is wrong, radically
and fearfully wrong. We know that
legislation is bought and sold. We
know that judges are bought and
sold. We know that special favors
have their price in the political mar
ket, and that the huge campaign
funds used by both the old parties
were equally corrupt and had the
same damnable purpose of securing
for the men who finance the campaign
governmental favors which mean ter

Fellow Citizens:

In theory, I am King, addressing
an assemblage Of fellow Sovereigns.
AS a matter Of fact, I am a political
nonentity, addressing a good-looking
crowd Of citizens who are just as
helpless as myself.
We imagine that we have a great
deal to do with the government of
our country. In theory, we rule it.
The actual truth is that nobody con-
suits US in the making Of laws, the
shaping of policies, or the selection Of
rulers. To prove that this is so, we
have only to take passing glance at
the laws which govern us.
We had an income tax which was
compelling the accumulated wealth
of the country to pay seventy million
dollars per year to the support of the
governments. That tax was repealed.
By whom? Did you do it? Was not
every single one Of you heartily in
favor Of the principle Of the income
tax, which simply compels those who
have derived the greatest advantage
out Of the government to contrib
ute portion of their net profits to
the support of the government? Do
you not know that the rank-and-fle
Republican-the Republican farmers,
merchants, mechanics-is as much in
favor Of the principle Of the income
tax as you are? Then who repealed
it? The two political machines which
control you are responsible for its
repeal. Democratic Senators, Dem
ocratic Representatives, locked hands
with Republican Senators and Repub-
lican Representatives, and at the
behest Of the millionaires who hated
the tax, relieved them from it.
There was once a Federal tax up
on express companies, insurance COM
panies, Manufacturing companies,
railroads and banks. 1t was repealed.
By whom? Did you, my fellow Sow
ereigns, do it? You certainly did
not. There is not a Democrat in
Georgia, disconnected with these cor
porations, that would not vote
promptly to compel them to pay a
fair portion of Federal tax. There
is not Republican of the rank-and-
file, disconnected with these corpora
lions, who would not as heartily IA
vor a Federal tax upon them as you
yourself would. Then, how did these
corporations relieve themselves from
the burden of Federal taxation9 Who
was it that said it was wrong to COM
pei them to contribute to the support
of the government which brought
them into life with charters, and
which gave them the vast immunities
and powers from which they have
grown so great? 1t was not the
Democrats of the rank and file; it
was not the Republicans of the rank

More than twelve hundred million
dollars of your money, issued by the
government, backed by the credit and
strength of the government, was
called in, thrown into the furnace and
burned. Did you, my fellow Sover-
elgns, order that done? Would you
have ever thought it to your interest
to reduce the quantity of good gov
eminent money? Did you not al
ways know enough about finance to
know that when you reduce the guam
tlty, you add to the value of the re-
mainder? Has there ever been a
time when you did not know that

eyY Were you ever ignorant Of the
fact that when you need cash to pay
your debts, fixed charges, and living
expenses, you have to go into the
market and buy it with your labor,
or your property; and that the less
money there is in circulation, the
more of your labor, and the more of
your property you will have to give
in exchange for the dollar? Certain
ly not You always knew it. You
have always known that plentiful
money meant good times; thai
scarcity Of money meant hard times.
Neither the rank and file of the Dem
ocratic party nor Of the Republican
party would have ever raked in
twelve hundred million dollars Of
good government money and de-
stroyed it. They would have known
when they did so they were striking
a ruinous blow at their own prosper
ity, and adding enormously to the
boarded wealth of the financial kings
who were debating that diabolical
contraction Of the currency.

The same respect we pay to the

if we measure the electrical pres

the quantity of electrical energy
passing thru it. The effects of
this is apparent in our incandes-
cent lights, due to sudden in

rent being shortened.
To Professor Ampere belongs
the credit of establishing the basis
of the unit of electrical current.

is registered in amperes and the

imperative need Of getting those
cars out on the road. Altho he

Why?
because he had not given his
