money given as charity, but bought
with money earned in a business
way.
Our advertisers speak well Of us.
Trade is coming in their direction,
and the suburbs and eastern section
Of our city are waking up to the
great value a newspaper such as
the weekly News" the home
paper, is to these sections Of our
beautiful city. And it is well to
note the intense interest which IS
shown by the people Of our eastern

prise. Hundreds of subscribers
have been pouring in from the
people of Anacostia and Congress
Heights during the past few weeks.
So it is only just that our lady
should have a new dress, and be-
sides our people are glad she has
been so patient and has stood the
test. We take off our hats today
and say there is nothing too good
for our new enterprise, "The
Weekly News" And to add to all
the good things, we wish to state at
this time our good fortune in secur-
ing for this publication one who
knows how to dress well a paper
in his able and well thought out
cartoons, Mr.. VIII II. Chandlee,
director Of the Washington School
of Illustrating, and therefore
comes to us not as a novice, but one
who has back Of him 30 years Of
experience.

"The necessity Of having the

brought up and discussed at some
length. 1t was pointed out by sew

present condition are a menace to
the health of the persons living in

In what contrary ways is the
evil of intoxication foughtl A
great many people believe in the
closing Of saloons, and in the re-
novel of the bar. The United
States Steel Corporation takes the
contrary view. With the saloons
closed its workmen buy liquor in
bulk and debauch themselves in
their own homes until they are
unfit to work. The company there
fore proposes to open saloons, and
to regulate them so as to discour-
age drunkenness. The saloon as a
cure for intoxication is a new idea.

FURNITURE TO COST MORE.

An advance Of 10 per cent in
the price Of furniture from manu-
facturer to dealer may be looked
for, taking effect with the opening
of the spring season in January.
The reasons given for the advance
are that all the raw materials cost
more than they did six months ago
and that the labor cost is increas-
ing. Mahogany, it is stated, has
advanced 10 to Is per cent since
July, due to the curtailment in the
supply and the increased demand.
Oak, which is second to mahogany
in furniture construction, has adj
vanced to such a degree that it Is
almost on the mahogany level, and
is steadily becoming more scarce.
Mirror plates will be higher. The
glass manufacturers and importers
have not given out their lists for
the coming year, but they are re-
fusing to renew contracts on the
old basis. Furniture hardware
also costs more.

break and the horizon appear clear
and serene once more. Sometimes
when we grow a bit dissatisfied with
life, a little disconnected with our ap-
parently trivial part in the great affairs
Of the world, we are very prone to feel
that we are of small value since we
cannot see what we are put here on
earth to do. OF course very few of us
can accomplish great deeds that will
bring applause from our fellows. Not
many of us can even climb above the
vast crowd that walks only on com
monplace levels. But never a n of
us is so helpless, so insignificant, SO
poor, that he cannot give to the world
the wondrous gift Of smiling cheerful
ness. Nor must we for a moment dep
recate the worth of such a power.
Rather should we believe, as Is surely
right, that the buoyant person who
smiles upon humanity and helps to
uplift and inspire even by his simple,
unpretentious, honest, cheerfulness Is
of ~inestimable value to his fellow
creatures. Smiles are well worth while,
and often the memory of a trustful.
brave and sincere smile has been cher
ished and treasured in the sad and
hungry hearts of some men and wo-
men who have for a brief instant bask-
ed in the warmth of the heaven sent
sunshine of such a smile.

Sky and cloud colors are often re-

Olive and brown lines in the waves

But there are many other colors In the

MAGIC IN A SMILE.

Power.

Never Deprociate the Worth of Such .
Power.
A smile is a most magical thing, and
yet perhaps many Of us do not quite
appreciate 1t at its true value, for Of
ten the wonders that are worked by
smiles occur deep down In the hearts
and souls of those persons upon whom
the magic falls. Have you ever watch
ed the people In a car when some tiny
baby looks around and smiles at ev-
erybody In the most impartial friendly
manner? How few human beings,
whatever the weight upon their spirits,
whatever the problems In their minds,
can resist the marvellous appeal of a
little baby's smile? And it Is a good
thing for this old world that In spite
of the whips and scorns of time
there still lives within the souls of
most of us some part that makes us
thus responsive to the heaven born
smile of q tiny, trustful child. Some
times when we have been weary and
sad and our spirits have felt despond-
ent and even dismayed the chance
smile of some little baby has fallen
like soothing balm upon our detected
minds and we have perhaps found new
courage and ven a little hope for the
future.
Oh, it is a good thing to smile upon
the world whenever we can, for we
shall then be able not only to get out
Of life the very best 1T can give us, but
we shall perchance be helping our
