NO CHANCE TO GO WRONG
Statement of Beauty Doctor May Have

well, as a matter Of fact. II these
cavaliers knew what I know about
some tribes, they would speak less
confidently. Some tribes are so de-
based that to do they anything but
good would hardly be possible. They
are, in fact. just like the ugly wom-
an who visited the beauty doctor.
This woman was ugly in every fea-
ture. but her nose was particularly
ugly. That, no doubt, was why she
desired the beauty doctor to begin
on 1t.
az am willing she said, to pay
you literally, doctor, but l demand in
return substantial results. We will
start with my nose. Can you guar
antee to make it ideally beautiful?'
"The doctor, after looking attentive
ly at the woman's nose, replied:
"'Well, madam, can't say as to
ideal beauty, hut a nose like yours I
couldn't help improving If | hit 1t with
a mallet.'"

straight piece must be added and di-
vided by line of stitches into little
pockets, each one large enough for
roll of lingerie ribbon. The narrow
ones at the end show delightful ad-
dition of a pair Of small scissors and
the bodkin or threader. The whole
article folds in three flaps and is tied
firmly with colored ribbon. The
monogram of the owner is suggested
as the personal touch always appre-
ciated.
One piece of pasteboard will make
the holder for stockings. Cover with
paste and apply the cretonne, silk or
poplin. Or sew the material as sug-
gested in the handkerchief case.
This straight piece should then be
folded and the hosiery slipped be-
tween the top and bottom. A ribbon
tied over the case and its contents is
a good finish.
For spools, cut two disks of card
board and cover with cretonne or
chintz. With a piercer make holes
in each and place the spools between.
Run cord through the spools and the
covered disks and knot at the top.
For little addition to the sewing
basket this suggestion comes as an
inexpensive relief.
All with cardboard as the working
basis! The scraps of silk and cotton
are not difficult to find, and practical
women will always manage to have a
little time to use in sensible way.

COUNT EARNING $2.49

Chicago Steel Tool company's mill.
1t was hard for him to land that
job, too, for his father-in-law only
owns half of the concern. But he
did land it and is the most demo-
cratic fellow one sees. He works
in overalls, as has been said, and
gets all dusty and greasy, so that
it is the deuce of job for his

He carries a dinner pail, too.
The cutest little dinner pail in Chi
cago. The countess combed the
city for it. The fellers at the mill
say it's gold-lined, and that he
shouldn't carry anything but choco-
late creams in it.
This is the counts first vacation
since he got his job last spring.
His last vacation extended from
his birth until last April. So you
see why he needs change and
rest.

demonstration the first day of the

This was the plan, and hence
Senator Murray Crane was sent
out to st. Paul two weeks ago on
secret mission. Hehe he met
Ballinger and Louis Hill, son Of
James j., and the bankers and the
prominent citizens" interested in
lumber and water powers and such,
then he reported to Beverly. And
there came the public announce
ment of the presidents acceptance
of the invitation to speak at st.
Paul on September 5.
TAFT'S SECOND TERM FIGHT.
Crane is managing Taft's second
term campaign, and he has prepared
some set pieces to be ignited when
the acceptance came, so there at
once followed tremendous activity
alnong the old guard politicians.
Word has gone down the line that
every man will be expected to do
his part to efface the memory of
the frost which greeted Taft on his
visit here last fall when he was
ok ing Jim Tawney, and saying the
tariff bill was the best ever. The
Fact that Monday, September 5, is
labor day, Is not overlooked, and

pie who never encouraged it before;
encouraged to make its parade a
whcoper, and the labor parade will
be augmented by the regular troops
from Fort Smelling. And the militia,
whether the labor people have been
consulted as to how welcome militia
anC regulars are in the ranks of the
working peoule, does not yet APP
pear. But the flag and the smile
will be there. And so President Taft
is to have the first day of the con-
servation congress all to himself,
and THE CONSERVATION OF
TAFT'S POPULARITY will be the
order of the day Pleasant refer
ences will be made to the great jul
dicial mind and the compromising
manner. His party regularity will
be eXtolled, his power over congress
and the vast AIRY Of beneficial laws
which he single handed wrung from
reluctant senators and congress
men. The Taft smile is to be put
en- exhibition at it's best. Nothing
will be said about Ballinger, about
revising of the tariff upward, about
the Aldrich rubber scandal or the
Cannon Aldrich partnership. In
surgency will be overlooked and the
returns from Kansas consigned to
forgetfulness. This will be a try
out of the Taft popularity, the pre-
liminary rally for the congressional

When the worlds demand causes
the great shops to run overtime,
the public voice huns complacently
of prosperity. The hard times
cry is hushed because overtime
work is done.
But there are two interpretations
to hte word prosperity. The worlds
definition means the free circula-
ton of money. The other is voiced
only too often--by the pitiful wall
of young girls under Is years of
lage, who work not eight nor nine
nor even 10, but II hours a day.
] This is overtime-12 long hours
during which eyes are never lifted
from work; II hours of the Earring
roar of machinery; II hours OF
steam and gas and smoke; II hours
of dus TITLED lungs; II hours of
bodily pain; II hours of minds made
blank; IL hours of girlhood stolen

The girls sit at tables or bins
lined with shee iron. In these, hun
dreds of pounds of steel articles are
dumped to be sorted Out of them
the perfect product must be picked.
A single mistake, one wrong article
found by the sharp eyes of the fore
woman among the perfect product
TO be sent to the packers, means
the entire job must be re-sorted. AS
the girls are paid by the weight of
completed perfect work, the penalty
is heavy one. The resulting close
attention they give their task
amounts almost to fanaticism.
Liz is IS, with big dark eyes and
a skin so white that even the grim

There has been no lengthy en-

the labor organizations of his home
city, but organized labor in Spo-

for the fighting insurgent for the
senate. Nearly all of the men &C.

for Poindexter. Members Of organ

citizens, realize that Poindexter's
fight is the fight of the everyday
citizen against the champions of
special privilege.
