HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A short, stout person must never be
taken as a full length picture. The
best photo would be sitting half
length.
The red nosed girl should be careful
of her diet, as affections of the stom-
ach are sure to heighten the color in
the offending organ.
The woman who refrains from eat
ing onions because of annoying her
neighbors can often indulge in her ia
vorite dish, even when she is going out,
by eating sprigs of fresh parsley that
have been saturated in vinegar.
If one has a red nose it is we'll to
cultivate as much color as possible In
the cheeks to tone it down. This red
ness need not be artificial, though IL
rouge be ever justifable it is for the
girl with that sore af1ietlon, a hope
lessly red nose.
Never allow the muscles of the low
er limbs to become tense through the
rapidity of your walking, which only
impedes your progress by ~interrupting
the movement from hip to foot and re
suits in a gait disastrous, awkward
and u~nbeautiful.
If your hands are inclined to per-
splre wash them occasionally in warm
water In which a little borax has been
d~issolved--a teaspoonful to a quart is
the right proportion. Rinse in clear
water. Dry and rub in a little lemon
juice. Don't use the borax very Of
ten, as it will make the skin dry and
inclined to crack.
Here is a cold sore cure: Two parts
castor oil to one quart of spirits of
camphor. 1t is very simple and will
heal the most obstinate cold sore in no
time. 1t is also very good for sore
nose, caused by cold in the head. An
other salve for such sores is the plain
zinc ointment, which can be bought In
bulk of the druggist. It's a first rate
salve to have on hand, by the way, for
it heals pimples quicker than any 9th
err lotion known.

AS TO oBEYING.
That Is the LAST Straw" According to
Up to Date Bride.

Just one thing the average fall bride
wishes to know Is this: Why should
she promise to obey when neither the
brides of the Roman nor Greek COM
munions, Jewish brides and Quaker
brides, are compelled to make this old
fashioned promise?
And the worst part of it is the I'M
truth of it. Women are no longer con
s~cienceless creatures who must be COM
manded to be good and laden with
other instructions whenever their other
halves depart. Away back in the past
when they were uneducated burden
bearers and never held with
guests this was doubtlessly a wise
clause. This question of the pledge of
obedience which Is extracted from
brides who profess certain forms Of
RELIGION is AcQntinually coming leeaer
discussion, and in these days, when the
equality of the sexes is demanded
and when many clergy as well as lay
men admit that it should be recog-
nized, 1t seems Inconsistent that this
vow should be demanded of women
While it is thought nothing short of
shocking that daughters should rebel
at this Idea of placing themselves in
subsection to their husbands, many are
not averse to giving them in marriage
to men already possessed Of wives
from whom they have been divorced,
and, while many consider 1t a fearful
sign of the times and an indication of
coming disaster that 1t should even be
proposed that this vow of obedience
should be deleted from the marriage
service, yet few would be prepared to
say that because women of other re-
ligious views do not make this vow
they are therefore bringing their sex
to naught and u~prooting all the tradi-
tons of the race.

A LAUNDRY HINT.
T~urpentine Prevents Silk Stockings
From Fading.


There was onc a time when black
silk stockings were considered fashion
able with every toilet, but now 1t has
become the fashion among well dress
ed women to have everything match,
and from the crown of the head to the
tip Of the toe must be a blending of
one color, which does not permit ofthe
hard contrast of a black shoe and
stocking against a light gown.
The only trouble with silk stockings
Is the washing of them. If the laun-
dress Is not an expert In that line a
delicate and expensive pair can be
easily ruined.
The best way Is to fill a basin with
warm water and soapsuds. Let the
stockings soak a few minutes, then rub
gently and rinse again with water of
the same temperature. If the stock
ings are white a little bluing should
be put in the water both times. In
that way you will avoid having them
turn that peculiar shade of yellow that
all silk is sure to do.
Using a few drops Of turpentine in
the water WlIn the SOAP VIII pTeVeul
the most delicate shades, such as pink,
green and blue, from fading.
Tan stockings are the most difficult
of all to manage. They will get a
greenish tinge to them that Is the
despair Of the owner, for 1t is impos-
sible to keep them from running, no
matter what care is taken. and the
water in which they are washed Is
sure to be discolored.
The best way is to wash a new pair
first. Though the stockings may fade
very little, the water will be a dark
brown. Then take IN old pair and let
them soak in the water, in that way
dyeing the old ones the original color.
No fine stockings should ever be
ironed. After washing they should be
shaken out and hung over a towel
rack or the back of a chair. The hot
iron removes the gloss and makes the
stockings look as If they were cotton,
not silk.

FIRE PROTECTION AGAIN.

We will not say I'VE told you So"
But Just as we had been talking
about fire protection and insurance
rates and the like. one Of the large
factories of the town burns down.
You see we can have fires in Rich
mond under adverse circumstances
which are of more importance than
the burning up of a wood shed And
while 1t did not burn the whole town
down nor devastate a whole section
Of the city. it dif wipe out thousands
OF dollars worth of property and will
throw many of the employees of the
concern out of work.
We ask: Is this the thing to instill
confidence in the minds of those who
would invest in the new companies on
the outskirts of the town? Is ii the
sort of thing which will help insur-
ance rates? And doesn't it rather
point to weak spot somewhere?
We are Just as convinced that there
should be better fire protection for
the town as we ever were and hope
that the citizens will incline little
more to our way of thinking.
The fact that the plant was insured
has only the effect of bringing up the
closely allied problem of fire insur-
ance rates.
1t Is matter which should interest
every citizen.

Mr.. MacNutt was discredited, the
president later finding that the Stor-
ers had misrepresented the affair.
But on account of the president wish
ing not to be understood to have
been acting with the Storers he never
was able to recall his action concern
ing MacNutt and probably would not
have done so if he could. as such &C
ton would be an admission on his
part that he had assisted the Storers.

understand that the blanks in the
Storers letters that were published
referred to MacNutt, but his name
was never printed in connection with
the affair. So this was the ending
of a business that the president and
the Storers had no right to mix in.
and shows how sometimes such things
can do an Injustice to innocent peo-
pie without cause. 1t is said. however
that Archbishop Ireland never gave
active assistance to the Storers and
really was not responsible for their
efforts.

injustice be done to brilliant Indi-
ana man. grandson of John NJ U. Mac
Mutt and Alexander Scott. who has
served his country we'll. is a credit to
his native state and who promises to
make a brilliant career as an author.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Mac
Mutt and his influence was of great
benefit to Judge Taft In the settle
ment of the friars' claims. and during
the six weeks stay of Mr.. Taft in
Rome Mr., MacNutt gave him every
in making a satisfactory
settlement with the Vatican. On &C.
count of Mr. MacNutt's intimate re-
with the Pope it was very easy
for Mr.. Taft to make a satisfactory
settlement Of the matter.
The death of Pope Leo was the
death of Mr.. MacNutt's influence at
Rome. and the best friends of the
present Pope will admit that the lat
ter's influence and policies are the re-
verse Of those Of Leo KILL When Plus
came into power the influence of the
party was particularly extin-
guished.

Antiquity Of Death Masks.

In any OF the later classics. modern ex-

in the early burials Of all nations 1t
was the custom to cover the heads and
bodies Of the dead with sheets Of gold
% pliable that they took the impress
Of the form, and not infrequently.
when IN the course Of centuries the
embalmed flesh had shriveled or fall

cast Of the features. 8chliemann found
4 number Of bodies covered with
large masks Of gold piate in repcusse

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Highways Not for Sport.

From the Boston Herald.-The
warning of the state highway COM
mission against the violation of laws
and ordinances in automobile road
races will not interfere with the full
enjoyment of legitimate automobiling.
Speed contests as sport may still be
held If promoters and enthusiasts are
sufficiently interested to provide the
necessary tracks. But the highways
belong to the public. and should not.
even occasionally, be monopolized for
any sport. Tests of endurance in all
the legal road powers of an automo.
bile may be made. Speed competitions
within the limits of the law should be
as interesting as tests of machines
and drivers for all practical road ser.
vice as are contests which put prem
ium on speed forbidden by law. Auto
MODELLING for business or pleasure will
not suffer by the enforcement Of the
law. Automobiling as a sport has no
place of right on the highway and it's
devotees should not complain if they
are forced to seek special grounds. as
other sports have been required to do.
The Early Birds.
+ From the Hartford Courant-The
birds are here all right; that is they
are here. and SO We suppose it is all
right. Most of the arrangements of
nature are SO considered. On every
lawn these crisp mornings the hlacE
birds are abundant, and the robins are
about as plenty. If the ordinary ways
OF the climate prevail we shall have
at least one good, solid snowstorm;
we always get 1t after the birds that
leave in the fall return to their sum-
mer homes.
