A Poor MOTTO.

reporter in Ann Arbor about the
Japanese character.

often men accuse them of living up
literally to the Yorkshire motto.

THE WAY GIRLS WALK.

Between their short skirts and their
smart pumps the feet of the aver
age young women are extremely con-
spicuous just now, and passing
glances at them reveal the fact that
most girls and women do not know
how to walk properly. Ninety-nine
out OF hundred of them place the
heel on the ground first, trick that
is not only tiresome but extremely
ungraceful.

FASHIONABLE RoMP1NG.


It is all very we'll to hold up the
hands in horror at the romping in
fashionable ballrooms-and no doubt
the lack of grace therein displayed
is deplorable, says the Lady's Pic
torial-but one must give people
what they want. They will not come
and tread stately measures, but they
will romp, and one must fain main
tain, therefore, that those hostesses
are wise who try to make their
guests enjoy themselves.

Now, the cotillon is not dance,
strictly speaking-you can chase, run,

does not make for elegance. Yet
there is no question about it, it is
Indispensable this season, and to this
favor. we must come if when we pipe
in OUT guests we expect them to

FOR WOMEN ON POLICE FORCE.
That Minneapolis needs 100 women
policemen is the opinion of DR.. Anna

tional Woman's Suffrage Association,
who to-day addressed the students in
the chapel of the University of Min

She gave it as her opinion that
should the demands of suffragists be
granted it would not be too much to
expect that women should do their
share in the police and fire depart
ments.
zone hundred women specialists
put on the police force of any city
would make for improved civic con-
ditions," said Dr. Shaw. "The Grim

NATIONAL HEADlUARIE ER5.
That the national headquarters
should be moved from Warren, Ohio,
to New York city was one Of the i'm
p6rtant decisions reached by the Wo-
mans Suffrage Association during
their recent convention in Seattle. 1t
is said that the move is made largely
because of the demand from men
and women of New York City of
large means. Believing the best in
terests of the movement at stake
they engaged to pay the entire cost
of the national press work in case
the move was made, and also to fur
nish suitable quarters for two years
at rent to be fixed by the national
association. They plan to bring un-
der one roof the national, State and
local suffrage headquarters and also
those of the College Equal Suffrage
League. Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper is

Why SalVeS Fail to Cure Eczema.
They Clog the POreS-0nly Liquid Can
Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and can not pene-
trate to the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous sue
cess of the only standard liquid eczema
cure, oil of wintergreen as compounded
in D. D. D. Prescription. Alter ten years
of cure after cure, the worlds leading
skin specialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to recon-
mend D. D. D. Prescription at $1.OO a
bottle, but for the benefit of those who
have never tried the prescription, we ar
ranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories OF
Chicago for special large trial bottle at
rs cents on a special offer now. This
first bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely take
away the itch at once.

metrists and opticians, not graduates of
regular medical colleges, had best drop
the title CDR" from their names, station

will be issued to such effect the sugges-
ton amounts to virtually an order.
President Jordan says that members OF
the profession have title and one that
they ought to be proud Of He says
that to use the title of doctor is to OBJ
tain business under false pretenses. Be-
lieving the use of such terms to be un-
professional the board will quite likely
make an order in the matter if its sug-
gestions are not needed. There are
several persons making periodical trips
into the state to sell their wares and
practice as opticians who have not re.
ceived licenses. The board will proceed
against such persons if they continue to
come into the state in violation of the

Co. D to Entertain.

Co. D beg to announce that they are
planning to produce one of their famous
minstrel entertainments early in Novem-
Der and have engaged Frank 0. French
to direct the same. This means a most
enjoyable and up to date performance,
introducing many decidedly novel feat
ures. Rehearsals will begin tonight at
7. 80. Watch for the date and further
particulars. .,,,
The proceeds of this show will help to
defray the expense of equipping the new
armory and the event is certainly deserv-
ing of large attendance. The minstrel
show put on last winter by Mr. French
was easily one of the grandest successes
ever staged in town and the coming
show, with the help of the townspeople,
is sure to make noise like the real thing.
While contemplating the coming per-
Torrance it would be we'll to remember
that it was largely through the efforts OF
Company D that the beautiful new arm
DRY building, now under construction
was made possible.

should be taken up at once and made an
issue of city and state politics, to the

said that no man could handle this work

enable him to do this. His work could
