DON'T LIKE TO PAINT MEN
Miniatursts Declare They Are Too Coarse and Harsh to Be Good
 Subjects.

Perhaps woman suffragists don't need to be cheered up a bit, but if they do they may find note of glad ness in the fact that there is another class of persons besides themselves who have no use for a man. They are miniature painters.
 Cant you paint man in minia- ture?" said the visitor, who had been looking at dozens of dainty feminine likenesses which reposed in a cab- inet uncontaminated by association with single man.
 "We can," said the artist, land we do, occasionally, but we don't want to. Men don't look we'll in minia- lures. They are too harsh, too coarse. If miniature is going to be a real work of art it must have for it's subject something dainty, fluffy, and lacy. There is nothing very fluff fly or lacy about mans stiff linen col lar, his unsightly lapels, his straight, short hair In the days when men wore satin coats and powdered curls, miniature painters might have been able to work them up into a pleasing picture, but you don't meet many men nowadays who wear satin coats and powdered curls. Of course, if a man dressed in the ugly modern cos tune wishes to be painted in minia- ture no artist is going to refuse the commission, but she certainly will not approve of his taste"

LATEST PADS SHOCK
Egyptian Princess Goes Unveiled and Clad in Latest Costumes.
No Longer Envelops Herself as if for Burial and khedive Throws All Written Protests in Waste
 Basket.

Cairo, Egypt.-A few days ago con- servative Egypt was startled when Princess Hafza, cousin of the khe- dive, a charming young lady or 2o summers, appeared on the streets dressed in the latest Parisian fashion, wearing hat from which the French milliner had discarded the veil. lnls audacity stirred the upper Mohamme' dan section of the community and telegrams were sent in large numbers to the khedive by the religious teach CTS in the Azhar university and from other sources urging him to save the dignity of their religion by forbidding his relative to espouse European fash ion. thus defying the tenets of thelr faith, and setting aside ancient laws which govern Mohammedan society.
 The khedive, it's is known, didn't even take the trouble to acknowledge the receipts of these messages, ana therefore the princess, unapasned, takes her daily drive like any Euro bean lady and in the latest style at that
 Since this princess first def1ed tra- ditional rules governing the life or Moslem women, it has become con- mon sight to see the rising femlnlne generation of Mohammedan elite so- ciety women going about like thelr Christian sisters, without meliahs and without yeils. AS I informed you little while back, Mohammedan socie- tywomen organized themselves to de- mand that they be no longer subjected to the habit of being compelled to en- velope themselves and appear while going about as though they were in the shrouds of the dead Other de- mands are that they have the say as to whom they should marry, and not to be forced into wedlock with men whom they have never known, and possibly have never seen in their lives.
 Mass meetings were held in the city and elsewhere, at which resolu- tions were passed and sent to the khedive and to the national council, which has been sitting reviewing the laws of the country and making rec concentrations to the counsel of state as to what new laws should be en- acted and old ones abrogated.
 That these women were serious is shown by their fiery speeches in which they pledged themselves to influence women of marriageable age to refuse to wed any man whom they did not know personally. or who would not pledge himself to help them acquire more self-independence. The move ment has already borne some fruit. Of course it will be some time before it becomes popular with everybody, and not for many years to come will Egyptian women be entirely emanci- pated and have the same privileges that European and American women enjoy.

the American Red Cross society to the victims of the recent Italian earth quake.
 The crown, a reproduction of the ancient Roman civic crown, is com posed of oak leaves and acorns, made of solid gold. It is inclosed in a typi- cal Roman box of leather, which is adorned by the royal coat-of-arms in gold. On the crown is engraved:

She is the sister-in-law of Senator Crane and was a member of the famous Taft Philippine party. While visiting Japan she saw the evidence of the work of the Red Cross in the Russo-Japanese war and was impressed with the boundless possibilities of the move ment. She is an intimate friend of both President and Mrs. Taft.

WHAT IS PAINTf

The paint on house is the extreme outside of the house. The wood is simply a structural under layer. That Is as it should be. Unprotected wood will not well withstand weather. But paint made of pure white lead and linseed oil is an invulnerable armor against sun and rain, heat and cold. Such paint protects and preserves. fortifying the perishable wood with a complete metallic casing.
 And the outside of the house is the looks of the house. A well-construct- ed building may be greatly depre- ciated by lack of painting or by poor painting.
 National Lead Company have made it possible for every building owner to be absolutely sure of pure white lead paint before applying. They do this by putting upon every package of their white lead their Dutch Boy Painter trademark. That trademark Is complete guarantee.

PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in. furious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others.
 A superintendent of public schools in North Carolina says:
 My mother since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker and had been troubled with her heart for a number of years, and com plained of that weak all over' feeling and sick stomach.
 Some time ago I was making an of ficial visit to distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I mo- ticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning 1t. He replied that it was Postum.
 T was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought pack age to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so we'll, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely.
 q had really been at times very anx. lous concerning my mothers condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to it's use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us.
 T know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the fam. fly, but not fin so marked degree as in the case of my mother, as she was victim of long standing"

Britain Growing Crazier.

London.-The report of the commis- sioners on lunacy contains ominous figures regarding the increase of in- sanity in Great Britain. There are 128,7S7 certified insane, an increase of 2,703.

GIVES MEDALS FOR BABIES
Boston Committee Adopts Unique Plan for Reduction of Mortality
 Among Infants.

Boston.-The Boston committee on hygiene will offer gold and silver med als to mothers who bring them babies which conform to the standards of the board of health. Mothers who have the healthiest babies will receive a gold medal Those whose babies are healthy, but not in the gold medal class, will receive silver medals. Then, too, there is to be some form of rec ognition for the mothers who start out with a sickly baby and bring it to a high degree of health.
 "This scheme is a direct result of the Huddersfeld plan for the proven tion of infant mortality, although a great improvement upon the Hudders- field plan" says Dr. J. M. Connolly, the medical director of the committee on milk and baby hygiene. "The Hud dersfield plan arose in the following way: Mayor Broadbent, of Hudders- field, England, offered five dollars to every mother in the Longwood district of Huddersfield who should, during his term of office, produce at the city hall a healthy child of one year of age. At the same time mothers and pros pective mothers were visited by vol tary lady helpers, who showed them the most approved methods of feeding ing and caring for the babies.
 There are four cities in the United States which have improved upon the Budin and the Huddersfield plans. These four are New York, Cleveland, Rochester, N. Y, and Boston. Bos- ton, whose committee has been able to profit from the experiences of foreign as well as American cities, has sys- tenn for in advance of them all"
