II the two states of California and
Wyoming were to change their reso-
lutions to conform to the others, only
four more legislatures would have to
vote TO make the necessary two-thirds
and compel congress to, act. Going
over this list of states, however, the
significance lies In the omissions.
New York and New England are not
represented, and would hardly be ex-
pected to be represented in this move
ment, but the great west is in with
but few laggards, while the south is
only about half represented.
Notwithstanding the loud noise
with which the democrats have re-
peatedly demanded the popular cleo
ton Of United States senators, the real
hitch is in the solid south, where the
states are overwhelmingly democratic.
The democratic national platform has
called for this change every four
years, but where are Alabama, Flor
ida, Georgia, Maryland, Mississippi,
South Carolina and Virginia? Here
are seven southern states with, demo-
cratic legislatures which have 1t
within their power to start the ball
a-rolling, but which show no signs of
doing SO. whenever the inquiry is
made why the demand for the cleo
ton of United States is not
met, let the answer be the true one.

Saved Old Lady's Hair.

"My mother used to have very
bad humor on her head which the
doctors called an eczema, and for it
had two different doctors. Her head
was very sore and her hair nearly all
fell out in spite of what they both
did. One day her niece came in and
they were speaking of how her hair
was falling out and the doctors did 1t
no good. She says, Aunt, why don't
you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment?' Mother did, and they
helped her. In six months time the
itching, burning and scaling of her head
was over and her hair began growing.
To-day she feels much in debt to Gu
ticura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
Of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema IN
my feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn
and then they would crack open and
bleed. Then I thought ! would fee

WHEEL OF FASHION.

Will the fashion mOngers never
cease sending out alarming state
ments about fashions that may or
may not come to stay? Now they
are predicting a return to the Vic
torian costume-of the early nine
teenth century. This means full
skirts covered with flounces all the
way up, fichu bodices, short, tight
sleeves and wasp waists. 1t means,
too, a high coiffure with bobbing
curls over the ears and a tortoise
shell comb of generous dimensions
to top it. 1t wouldn't be impossible
for worse things have been seen in
this day and generation.
But no matter what the wheel of
fashion brings at it's next turn,
there will always be a large percent
age of dissatisfied and grumbling
women who would have it otherwise.
A recent collection of letters written
by women in the days when fashion
news could be obtained only through
correspondence with city residents
shows that discomfort with prevail
ing styles is historic. Writes Mrs.
Delaney in the year 1746:
1.-THE only thing that seems gener-
al is hoops of enormous size, and
most people wear vast winkers to
their heads. They are now coming
to such extravaganza in these two
particulars that l expect soon to see
the other extreme of thread paper
heads and no hoops, and from ap-
pearing like so many blown bladders
we should look like so many bod
kins stalking about"
THAT her prophecy was evidently
not fulfilled is shown by Miss Eliza
beth Carter's disgust with her kind
in the year 1850. "Our fine ladies" /"
she writes, disgrace the human
shape divine, and become helpless
to themselves and troublesome to all
the world besides with French hoops,
and run into an indecent extrava-
gance of dress inconsistent with all
rules of sober appearance and good
economy"
What would either of these wom-
en- say to the present stalking bod
kins" or the hipless creature of mod
ern times? Do they disgrace "the
human shape divine" or honor it?

fuses to argue, "a matter of indiyid-
ual taste. New York Tribune.

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an INJURY!
They lay their bad feelings to almost
every cause but the true and unsus-
pected one.
But the doctor knows. His wide
experience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidinus
poison that undermines the health.
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause
of constipation, stomach and nervous
troubles.

SPEAKS FOR MRS. BELMONT.

SPEAKS FOR MRS. BELMONT.
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, president
of the Political Equality League, was
early in her office at No. sos Fifth
avenue, says the New York Tribune,
happy over the news from Washing
ton, D. c., that the National Suffrage
Association, in convention at Wash
ington, had agreed to her proposition
to allow the national headquarters to
remain under her protection for an
other year. The contract for this,
which also carried the proviso that
Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper be retained
as press representative for the same
period, was duly signed by the suf-
fragists on Wednesday. Mrs. Harp
er, speaking for Mrs. Belmont, said
the situation was wholly satisfac-
tory.
Mrs. Belmont has gone right to
work to plan for the fall, and will, if
her health permits, accomplish much
more than was done last season" {"
said Mrs. Harper. 1T is her aim,
so far as the Political Equality
League is concerned, to organize a
branch in every district in New York
City. From this point >she will
branch out into the surrounding ter
ritory.
Many persons claim the honor Of
being the originator of the political
settlement, but as matter Of tact |
suggested it to Mrs. Belmont a year
ago, and she indorsed the idea at
once and put it into immediate oper-
alton. AS an educational measure it
is admirable, and from political
standpoint the only practical plan to
help the cause. Mrs. Belmont gave
what seemed to us tremendous sums
for suffrage last year, but this year,
with her town house, which cost
more than s250,O00, completed, the
mausoleum erected to her husband
completed and the hospital at Hemp
stead off her hands, she expects to
spend much more to help women win
the ballot.
I'm spite of the fact that she is un-
der very strict orders from her physi-
clan to quit active work, Mrs. Bel
mont says she means to live to see
the plan she has laid out through.
Her whole time, thought and much
of her means are to be devoted from
now on to the cause of suffrage"
The Rev. Anna Shaw, accompanied
by Miss Rae Costello, the young Eng
lish suffragette, has started on a tour
of the Southern States, lecturing on
suffrage. Her first stop was the Uni
versity of Virginia.

CHARM OF SINCERITY.

The secret of all charm and of the
most genuine popularity lies in avoid
ing all pretenses and being sincere.
Artifciality is always vulgar, how
ever highly placed the person who
assumes it may be.
But in point. of fact, really high
ly placed person never does put on
side"
A woman in a good position is so
sure of herself that she has no need
to put on an affected manner.
She is, on the contrary, so simple
and sincere and genuinely courteous
that not even the most envious Of
humber friends can grudge her her
success.
If she is not always sincere and
sweet-why, she only lays herself
open to the suspicion that she has
been very badly brought up and has
had her head turned by a little mon
ey.-Indianapolis News.

THROUGH ROSE TINTED SPEC

America is the country for nervous
ness, owing to the strenuous life
women lead in that country. Says a
Yankee lady What must be done
is to create a nerve reservoir, and to
fill it with nerve power to draw from.
Suppose one is a teacher or a busy
woman who comes home tagged, ir-
ritable and utterly nervous. The first
thing to do is to lie down for half
an hour, or longer This is the way
to fll your reservoir. After you
lie down, relax every muscle and
every nerve tension. Let go of every
thing. Let the bottom drop out. Let
all annoying things drift right away

PINK MRS. TAFT's

PINK MRS. TAFT'S %ITE.
Pink, plain pinkS NOT cense or
rose or any Of the new-fangled
names under which that old-fashion-
ed color now goes-is the favorite
color of the present mistress of the
White House. Satin has long been
recognized as the material for a
gown which Mrs. Taft likes best and
pink as the shade which is most
becoming to her. She always has a
satin costume of that color, and of
ten her carriage gowns are so close
to pink that it seems like taking a
liberty to call them rose or salmon
or peach bloom. One of the dainti-
est garments which Mrs. Taft has
worn recently is pink broadcloth
trimmed with deep red braid with a
touch of silver. 1t has insets of yell
