How MonopoIies Are Assisted.


During the past few months, mail
order houses located in the large
cities have been making more than
ordinary efforts to gain trade. These
efforts have been stimulated by the
panicky times. Residents Of agricuI-
tural communities should understand
that concentration of money in large
financial centers was the main cause
of bringing on the financial depression
They should also understand that the
mail order system is one of the most
potent factors in this concentration;
that this system draws the Iife-blood,
the surplus money, from communities
where it is earned, taking It out Of
local circulation and using it to build
up monopolies in the large cities.

The most simple way to reduce your
flesh is to avoid all starchy and sweet
ened food, all cereals, vegetables con-
tanning sugar or starch, such as peas,
beans, corn, potatoes. Have your bread
toasted, sprinkle it with salt instead
of using butter. Milk, l regret to say,
if it be pure enough, is fattening.
SKINNED milk may be drunk. Hot
water is an excellent substitute for
other liquids. Add little juice Of

1T seems to me that one-fourth OF
the business men L know are driven as
by fiends, racing along to keep ahead
Of the all but internal demands OF
amiable American women" That is
the accusation brought against women
by a Columbus (Ohio) contributor to
Golfers Weekly. He does not confine
his arraIgnment to any locality. Their
extravaganza Is national in scope" he
said. 1T is squandering life and will
end In wreck" Thousands of women
will resent the Columbus mans state
ment. And yet doesn't this sound a
little like a true bill? "She sets the
scale of living in this country and
she sets 1t at least one notch above
her husbands purse" What he means
is apparent. More, we have seen 1t
demonstrated. The business man,
proud of his wife, proud of his fam
lily, Is anxious to maintain them in the
highest possible plane. When the mans
income fails to keep pace with the in
creased demands upon him, his pride
keeps him devising means, sweating
blood to give what is expected of him,
what is accepted without a thought.
According to the Columbus man, it is
time for a change "The fact Of the
matter is that our entire American
notion of the status of woman needs
revising" he declares. 1--WE are doing
her a wrong by permitting her to cul-
tivate selfishness to the point of bru-
tally" The subject is a grave one
Without a doubt "there are thousands
in bondage to American petticoat
finance"

guest of this kind anything but well

WHERE RED HAIR RULES.
Northeastern Scotland Found to BE
Partial to This Color.

Northeastern Scotland Found to Be
Partial to This Color.
Red hair is found In distinct excess
north Of the Grampians. and especially
in the northeast of Scotland, says the
London Mail. Mr.. Tocher, Peterhead,
who has made the question of pigmen-
tation a special study, and has just
been helped to conclude color survey
Of the school children-over $4,000
of Scotland, announced this as one of
his results.
In most European countries, he said,
there Is a distinct predominance Of one
type over the others. In north Ger
many and Sweden it is the blonde type !;
In Italy the brunette. No such pre-
dominance is found in Scotland. Dark
hair. and fair are present In equal pro-
portions The dominant color among
Scottish children is brown, and 1t has
to be shown how far brown Is really a
blend Of fair and dark.
The proportion Of red hair through
out the country Is a little over per
cent-high compared with the CONT
nent. One cannot overlook the refer
ence Of Tacitus to the red-haired Gale
domains. Some curious facts brought
to light suggest that red hair Is not
entirely or strictly a racial trait 1t
may have some peculiar physiological
II not pathological connection.

Women and housekeeping.


If there be any one thing more than
another calculated to try the patience
OF a faithful housekeeper, it is to dis
cover, after dutifully accomplishing a
mornings routine work, rip in the
carpet, or a worn place in the rug, grin
ming insinuatingly at one, with the sug-
gestion in its open countenance Of the
truth of the saying that wOman's work
Is never done.
! have long wondered, and am still
at loss to decide (having tried both
methods), which is the happier woman
she who at once goes and mends the
rip, or daTns the hole, or she who puts
her shawl over her head and runs into
a neighbours to gossip till time to get
dinner. One thing is certain, the wOm-
an who doesn't let the rip affect her
conscience will keep a smooth complex
ion longer, and the question is, will
her husband be more disguised by
catching his foot in the rip, or with
the wrinkles she brings upon her face
by persistent application to the petty
duties that waste the heart and wear
the body?
1t is a fact that men are not given
to a warm appreciation Of domestic
virtues; they take them too much as
a matter of course; they do not stop
to consider that washing dishes and
sweeping floors and cooking meals is
work, hnd work Of the very hardest
and most trying kind.
The average man comes home from
his business in the evening expecting
to find nicely cooked, nicely served
dinner awaiting him. He is ignorant
Of the many steps, the infinite care,
the inconvenience of being roasted over
the stove, and the countless trials and
annOyanceS that are incident to the
preparation of a meal. He thinks it is
natural to a woman to keep house, and
if she does it well she is only doing
what she ought to.
have frequently noticed that wom-
en- who are not too careful in house
keeping have the most devoted hus-
bands Women who wear themselves
must find in those projections their
own reward, for men will never ap-
preciate them.
The good dinner. the general aspect
Of comfort, these impress man deeply,
but for the rest, he would rather have
pretty and smiling wife than one too
earnest IN her household duties.
Hence ] believe it is just as well TO
put a rug over the ripped place, or set
a footstool over it, and go gossiping,
as to get down on all tours and make
your back ache and ruin your fingers
sewing It up. Blessed be the woman
whose blood and judgment are so well
co-mingled that she finds time for both
mending ard gossiping, and does not
allow herself to become hopelessly adj
dicted either to the minutia of house
keeping or to the habit of indiscrimi-
nate gadding.-Juliet V. Strauss in Chi
cago Journal.

Getting to Sleep.

If you are troubled with insomnia
some of the following ideas are worth
trying out, as they are certain to &c.
complish what seems impossible Of
achievement, wooing sleep successfully ::
4 warm bath before retiring-not a
cold one, for the latter will wake you.
Drink a cup of cool, not iced, water,
and this will bring good repose. Sleep
with your windows open at the top and
bottom, be it ever so small space,
so you can just feel a breeze on your
face. Put in your bath a little bag
containing dried clover tops and laven-
der flowers, and as the water cools
there will be delightful odor arising
from it, 1t is thus medicated and
slightly perfumed and a sure cure for
insomnia.

The Economical Woman.

The woman who must study economy
in planning her new spring clothes will
find a separate skirt a useful addi-
ton to her wardrobe If she carefully
studies the latest fashion reports from
abroad she knows that the costume
that is, the skirt and waist made of
the same material and sometimes cut
in one-is much more the vogue than
the separate skirt and the shirt waist.
Yet sometimes it is not always conve-
nient to have an entire new gown, in
which case the separate skirt will
prove invaluable.

terry. Denmark Is taking advantage OF
this to convert It's wind power into
electric power for commercial purposes.
1t Is stated that wind of fifteen miles
an hour will produce eight horse power,
and that a twenty-mile gale will de-
velop eighteen horse power. AS the
power of many windmills can be con-
centrated and made to serve a single
plant, there is infinite possibility In
this resource In any section blessed
with frequent winds Of considerable
force The United States has abundant
wind-swept territory The seashores,
prairies and highlands everywhere
have an unlimited supply Of this force.
1t can be converted into electric power
and combined and stored for use as
readily here as in Denmark. The utili-
zation Of this wind power would lessen
the drain on our diminishing wood and
coal supplies, and supplement the water
power as a means of furnishing the
land with electric energy for CONNER
cial purposes.

tunes. 1t is a pattern carried over
from early winter which had it's share
of popularity among the more dressy
jacket suits.
Tiny folds of satin or of taffeta are
used to trim semidress costumes and
lend themselves admirably to original
effects. They may be applied in broad
ening designs and also in serpentine
lines and short zigzags on hens and
waistcoats and are also used to frame
motifs.
With the summer dress will be worn
some pretty ribbon sashes. But these
ribbons will be wide, ethereal in APP
pearance, and tied in four loops at the
back. Some. of the streamerS are also
knOtted a few inches from the end.
The idea is to get a ribbon to match
the delicate weave of the dress.
The smartest dresses worn at pres
ent are those composed of cloth skirt,
velvet Jacket, braided and fancy or old
time waistcoat fastening down the
front with small antique buttons. The
popularity of gosSamer tissues much
embroidered is very evident, the idea
having been borrowed from the East.
A simple house wrapper is made
with a square yoke, rolling collar,
bishop sleeves and fivegOred skirt that
is attached to the waist. While a
wrapper yet it has shirtwaist finish
that is neat. POlka-dOt materials
that is, of the small design-with bind
ings or bands of plain trimming, look
neat for such garments.
The handsOmest and most expensive
of the stiff collars have Irish lace in
sertion used in sort of conventional
design. While these collars may be
very beautiful, they are less satisfac-
tory than are the hand-embroidered
collars. for the lace will not hold the
starch and constant heavy washing
soon tears the fragile material.
