THE WOMAN IN BLACK.
Who Should and Who Should Not
Aspire to that Role.

There are many women who swear
by black as smart wear of a class
apart, who are never without
black day gown or evening gown in
their wardrobes, who always pos
sess black hat, who know the
charm of floating black feathers,
wells, and scarfs, touches of black
velvet or tulle, the allure of black
fox and Persian lamb, the quaintness
of black enamel, jet and black pearls.
Black can be the smartest of the
smart, the dowdiest of the dowdy;
black can be startlingly unexpected
and the most obvious wear in the
world, Umbrellas and galoshes are
black. Black can be wickedness
in carnate, elusively and obviously;
black can be good, unendurably
good; but, above all things and
beyond all virtues, black can be
ladylike.
There are women who look their
best in black for that reason; they
look gentlewomen when they wear
it, and not otherwise. / am always
a little bit mistrustful of the type
that looks its best when in sable ar
ray" says writer in the Queen.
ut suggests an uncomfortable rea-
son for its not looking SO nice in
anything else.
Mind, / am not for one moment
denying that black is enormously be-
coming-to those it becomes ! do
not think black suits women who
are in the least degree inclined to
lack character of appearance, women
whom you are apt to overlook in
black, whose coloring errs on the
side of colorlessness, who are if
anything too thin and lacking in
line-which often may be read
curves-to whom nature has been
trifie parsimonious perhaps, women
who are fading or who have never
been anything but faded, boiled in
soda women, women with weak tea
in their veins, women who call their
sumptnous, damask rose, carnation
sisters 'dairymaids' and much un-
kinder things than that, women who
are not of the type that Mr.. Hewlett
frankly calls disastrous to man
kind"

Heavenly Hash.

This is a fondant candy filed with
raisins, currants. shredded eitron,
ground nuts and orange peel. It is a
delicious candy and can be made with
boilded fondant sprinkled lightly with
cream of tartar and beaten to light
foam before ingredients are added. Or
one can make the candy with the
beaten white Of two eggs, thickened
with pulverized sugar and favored
with different fiavors, such as rose
almond and vanilla, in liquid or pow
der forms. and colored, if desired.
Put the dough on a board and roll
with rolling pin. Add the chopped
ingredients, which can be run through
the chopping dish. Flatten out the
candy dough and cut it into squares.
Egg candy must stand several days
before it is ready to serve. 1t is not
SO delicious as boiled fondant.

The case of the Lake county farm,
er, who was the victim of vindictiye
anti-saloonists, aroused the public
to such an extent that he was given
a fine of $500 and costs. Even this
concession is entirely wrong, as
there should not be any penalty in,
flicted upon the man. When county
officials allow themselves to be used
TO persecute well meaning but unin'
formed German citizens they should
be retired from public office at the
next election.

Because the Rev Highly had the
courage TO announce his convictions
concerning prohibitory laws he has
been made the mark of the more
violently insane reformers CD and
is continually worried and harrassed
by letter and telephone calls threat
ening him in numerous ways. The
agitators appeal to the public for
support by the claim that th1y are
guided and influenced by religion. II
their religion teaches them to at
tempt to usurp the sole right to an
opinion In the matter and to con-
denim others to eternal damnation
then the sooner the state builds an
addition 10 the Massillon rest cure"
and they are given the opportunity
to recover, the better it will be for
the community.

is FARMERS WIFE A sLAvEa
Scientific Investigation Shows that In
Most Cases Her Life IN Use


Most Cases Her Life IN q Use
Whst prosperity on the average
farm means to the women Of the
country is described by William Ath-
erton Du Puy in startling article
on "The Useless Tragedy of the
Farmers Wife, which appears in
The Delineator. Were the six mil
lions of farmers wives in the Uni
ted States placed in caldron, fused
into one homogeneous mass, enough
of it chopped out to make one wo-
man-the typical farm woman-and
were she depicted to the people as
she is, there would be the greatest
tragedy of American civilization,
says Mr.. Du Puy.
There is a lot to be found out
about this woman, and 1t is vital to
know of her. 1t is she who bears
the brunt of feeding the multitude
I for which the farmer receives so
much praise. 1t is she who gives
birth, before her vitality is sapped
to the men who make history. 1t is
she who is martyred even in the
times of peace and plenty. 1t is
useless martyrdom, for it is easily
preventable and for this reason it is
especially important that her condi.
tion and the causes of it should be
/ known.
In the first place, you will be told
that it is all bosh about the unfavor.
able conditions on the farm; that
the farmers last year raised seven
billions of dollars worth of produce
and that they have given themselves
the uplift. Conditions are not at all
like they used to be on the farm
you are told, for these men are now
riding in automobiles and there is
running water which has been put
in the house.
There is lot of truth In some OF
your statements, for the farmers
have made a great deal of money
and in some communities there are
hundreds of conveniently arranged
and ideal homes on the farms. But
the consensus of opinion of the
greatest authorities in this country
upon farm conditions is to the effect
that probably ten per cent. of the
farmers are grasping their oppor-
tunities for better living in so far
as the home is concerned, and that
the condition of but ten per cent. OF
the women is improved Strange to
say, with the vast majority there
has come a worse condition with the
development of the farm and the ad
vent of prosperity. The Country
Life Commission, appointed by the
president, has travelled the country
over and found this to be a fact.

FACTS, NOT FANCIEs--
WHO TELLS THE TRUTH?

In circular headed, Facts, not
Fancies," issued by the Ohio Anti.
Saloon league, they say:
Wherever saloon pays one dol.
lar of our taxes, it produces the ne.
cessity for the levying of a consid,
erably larger amount; that the sa.
loon causes the astounding expense
of the most of our criminal trials
that the saloon is at the bottom OF
the majority of divorce suits; and
produces physical and mental deteri
Grafton as nothing else does, filling
our county poor houses, reform
schools and insane asylums. They
say these things cost money and in.
crease our taxes much more than the
revenue from saloons can possibly
diminish them.
The following table conveys in
formation more forceful than all the
borrowed eloquence and exploded
sophistry of the high sslaried orators
of the Anti-Saloon league, whose the.
ory of local option is of no practical
benefit to any one, save themselves
and the non-taxpaying Illicit liquor
dealers Of dry" communities. The
comparison is made between a "dry'
and wet" adjoining county, having
almost the same population. The
principal city OF Fayette county,
Washington C. H., dry" for three
years, tax rate, 31.4; the principa,
city OF Madison county, London, o.

The Rev. Marsh is highly indig-
uant because We omitted to publish
his dry" effusion last week, and
used some rather intemperate langu-
age over the telephone which fully
illustrates his condition of mind.
When we offered him the use OF a
column in The Democrat we did not
give him the right to dictate the
manner of conducting our business
affairs. Personal abuse over the tele-
phone was very III hammered and
perhaps the Rev. Harsh can now see
his error after a few days contem-
plation of the matter. On another
page will be found his effusion, which
was omitted last week, for very good
reasons.
