Is the Home Disappearinr.

One woman in five in the United
States has abandoned the domestic life
and has become a wage-earner Even
this does not accurately state the situa-
ton. In country districts only two
women out of every eleven are at work,
but in cities-that is, wherever indus
trial opportunities are present, two
women out of every seven are at work,
nearly one-third of the total woman
population.
How far the father OF the family
has ceased to be the sole supporter
thereof is shown in the statistics gath
cred in twenty-seven cities and tabu-
lated by the census bureau. The total
number of women at work in the TWEEN
ty-seyen cities is 904,695.
OF these 173,03O are boarding or liv-
ing in the families of their employers.
Out of the remaining 731, $50 women at
work, 9S,S61 are supporting the family,
and between 21S,415 and 1904 are
contributing to the family income. Re-

The Husband who Rebeliea.

"Once upon a time" a careless wom-
an married a careful man. He would
not go to the theater and make a half
dozen or more men and women rise in
the middle of the opening act of the
play to allow himself and wife to reach
their seats. Perhaps she lost two good
plays before she fully understood his
determination to be on time, and then
reformed But she still lacked in other
directions.
Her next disappointment was in a
trip planned TO big city, where every
hour of her stay had been carefully
planned for amusement. Cutting out a
day was a serious loss, yet she had to
bear IL, for he quietly shifted the hour
OK departure to the next morning after
he had been convinced that the train
on which they had booked seats could
not be caught, even by hurrying. She
had never regarded engagements to
lunch with him downtown very seri-
ously until the day she waited one
hour in a fashionable restaurant and
missed her monday meal because she
had not brought money enough to pay
for even simple luncheon. To-day.
after five years of marriage, she is a
model of punctuality.

An old Fashioned Weman,

No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree;
Sic has not known the paths of fame.
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in old, long-trodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom, love her flower
he seeks no other wand of power
TO make home sweet, bring heaven near
% win smile and wipe q tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own queer place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
As round some reverend saint enshrined
And following hers the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find ali purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
Sae keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew,
And life for her is high and grand.
By work and glad endeayor spanned.
This sad old earth's brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very. smile blessing throws,
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
To whisper loye-thank God for her.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ACTIVE
Now Is the Support for Nearly Eaif
Million Psople.

Interesting statistics have been col
lected TO show the surprising
growth and magnitude OF the automo-
bile industry in this country. The
present capital in this business is S94.-
100000. with S36.000.cC0 invested in
kindred trades and S5T.0O0,000 in gar
ages and retail salesrooms, making
total of $751;, 100000 in a business I'M
known ten years ago. More than 5S.000
persons are employed in automobile
factories throughout the country. 20
600 others are employed indirectly in
making parts and another 2l,5O0 in
garages and salesrooms. making a to-
tai of more than 1oS,000 employees.
This industry. therefore. is the support
of nearly half million persons.
There are 253 builders of automo-
biles in the United States. The output
last year was shout $1,000 ears. the
largest in the history OF the Industry,
which to date has turned out nearly
100000 machines Careful estimates
for the coming year place the output
at 10000 cars, of which four factories
will produce about half and one alone
1900 ears.
In the history of this trade S2S.-
100000 worth of foreign cars have
been imported, but America is export
ing far more than she Imports Eight
years ago sales of American cars
reached less than $S.000,0o0: last year
they were more than $1O5.00o. 600.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Health and Beauty Hfntss
The nair brush should be kept scru-
pulously clean.
Very hot water externally applied
VIII stop dangerous bleeding.
Daily exercise with light dumbbells
eventually cures round shoulders.
The juice of raw onion applied to
the sting of an insect will remove the
poison.
For hives take common white -four
and powder the affected parts. This
will relieve itching
Cleanliness is essential to a good
complexion and daily bath is not a
luxury but necessity.
A little healthy tan on the face is
not really an affection, but too much is
unbecoming, particularly in the even
ing.
Practice deep breathing. A person
with fully developed lung capacity pur-
ifies his blood several times per min
ute.
To improve the contour of the face,
try filling the cheeks with air and let
ting it explode with a soft explosive
sound. Do this fifteen or twenty times
a day.
A good hair oil for children's hair
which is thin or dry is made of equal
parts of pure olive oil and cold pressed
castor oil, cut with grain alcohol and
perfumed.
A glass of hot water before break
fast is a cleanser and tonic for the en-
tire system. For an oily, greasy skin,
squeeze half a lemon into the water,
drink without adding sugar.
For soft, painful corn, try the old
fashioned remedy of binding it night
ly in common baking powder, moisten-
ed with little water. The most stub
born painful corns will disappear, aft
er three weeks of this treatment.

laughed at the idea, and entered with
