Instead Of wasting time weeping IN
front Of your mirror. my lady ugly
duckling, try the beauty cure from
| within.
Learn how to smile, how to have a
happy disposition. You have no idea
how 1t will transform your face, how
it will wipe out all the dull. stupid. sag
ging lines.
Watch the women singing at a con-
cert and understand the principle of
It. One may have a lovely voice and
sing very difficult music in a charm
ing manner; but her solemn bearing
and the lack Of animation In her face
will hopelessly repel you.
Another singer may not have half as
cultivated a voice. but her charmingly
smiling face and her sparkling eyes
will attract twice the applause the
other gets.
And it is so in life. Train the lines
Of your face to curve upward, not
downward. and you a only do this
by keeping smiling thoughts in your
mind. Don't allow yourself to think
blue. ugly thoughts, and your smile will
be bright, spontaneous and ever present.
A cheerful disposition makes the
eyes bright. 1t makes the skin smooth.
1t %rejuvenates a woman as nothing
else will.
Massage is fine for the complexion
keep 1t up-but be sure to massage
your disposition as we'll.

QUEER VILLAGES.

Some Peculiar Ones That May Be Seen
In England.
The English village is very dear to
the hearts of poets and painters. and
thousands of them are certainly Charm
ing. A few. however. are more anus
ing than anything else-as. for in
stance. one which consists entirely of
old railway carriages. ever the chapel
being composed of four horse trucks.
Another village. with a population of
LOO and taxed at the valuation of
$1,000. has neither school. church nor
other public building, the only thing of
the sort being a letter box on a pillar.
Villages with but a single inhabitant
are not unknown. one of them being
Skiddaw, in Cumberland. The single
villager complains bitterly because he
cannot vote. there being no overseer to
prepare a voters list and no church or
other public building on which to pub
lish one. as the law requires. The
lonely rate payer in a Northumber-
land village has declined to contribute
money to maintain the roads. remark
ing that the one he has is quite good
enough for its use. In the isle Of Ely
is a little parish with about a dozen
inhabitants that has no rates. as there
are no roads or public institutions of
any kind and consequently no ex-
penses.
Kempton. near Bradford, can proba-
bly, lay successful claim to the distinc-
ton of being the longest village in the
world, as it struggles along the road
for a distance of seven miles.
Sometimes a village will entirely
disappear. having been built either on
the edge of the crumbling cliffs that
make part OF the coast line or over an
ancient mine. One of the latter class
is III Shropshire, and each year one
or more of the cottages tumbles as the
earth sinks beneath it. Harper's

PROTECTION FOR THE APPENDIX.

A great deal of complaint has been
voiced of late to the effect that there
IS class of doctors Who are too
Tree with the knife If a nefson has
pain in the right side and one of
these doctors is called the ailment is
pronounced appendicitis and the pa
tent is rushed to a hospital where an
operation is performed-alike on the
patient and his pocket-book. 1t is
also charged that many surgeons are
not as careful as they should be and
IN their haste leave pieces of gauze,
surgical instruments and other for
eign bodies in the abdomens of their
patients. Senator-elect Tanner OF
Omaha proposes to put a legal curb
on surgical operatives by means of a
bill which he has prepared for intro
duction in the Nebraska legislature.
In speaking of the measure and the
need for it he said in recent inter
view:
Il propose to go beyond the appen-
dix. When the bill comes before the
senate | will offer an amendment
iAlohih6 II a iSlOly iOI any uOClOf !,
nurse. or any other attendant to leave
scissors. knives, gauze, or other for
eign articles or substances in the body
after an operation has been perform
ed. There are plenty of cases where
the doctors, the surgeons. and the
nurses have been careless and left
articles in the abdomen after the re-
moval OF an appendix. have in mind
a case where an appendix was cut out
and six months later the abdomen
OF the man was opened and three
yards of gauze removed
1t is not to be doubted that the
knife is used too frequently in cases
of appendicitis, but who shall decide
when doctors disagree? The use of
the knife is imperative in some cases
if the patient is to be afforded a
chance for his life, and it is a ques.
ton if law could be drawn which
would discriminate properly between
such cases and those in which the
treatment should be purely medical.
1t might help matters somewhat if a
law were to be enacted that no sul-
seon should operate on case of ap-
pendicitis except upon the advice and
with the consent of disinterested
physician chosen by the patient Or his
family or nearest friend. AS for the
carelessness of surgeons in leaving
foreign bodies in the abdomen of pa
tients operated upon for appendicitis,
the patients thus mistreated already
have remedy in suits at law for
damages, but the offense is SO mex
cusable that it might be proper to
make it felony and punishable as
such.

GRIEF FOR SOAP CLUBS.

The state pharmacy commission has
handed down an opinion which will
have the effect of putting damper
to Iowa which have organized clubs
in this state for the handling of the
company's goods The commission
has ruled that all heads or organic
ers of these clubs who handle drugs
of any description are itinerant vend-
ers, and as such must pay license
fee of 800 wear
The commission in its order men
tions the Larkin company of Buffalo
as a representative company doing
business under what is known as the
club plan. BY this system there is to
be representative in every town and
many representatives in large towns
who solicit business for the company.
The agent is usually woman, and
she enlists in the club all her neigh
bors and friends. She secures orders
for goods and transmits the orders TO
the company. All goods are shipped
to her and she delivers them. In
THIS manner q IieLueHupuo puoihcoo
has been built mp By these companies
all over the country.
Everything from furniture to groc-
cries can be purchased through these
clubs. and recently drugs were added.
This nut the Iowa commission On the
lob and it has declared that drugs
cannot be handled by the organizers
of the clubs unless the license fee is
paid.
The object of the commission in
so ruling is not solely to benefit Iowa
druggists. but is necessary to enable
the commission to see to It that the
state drug laws are obeyed. This is
possible. it is said, when none but
druggists can handle drugs. but is
impossible when almost any one can
engage in the business.
The order OF the commission fol-
lows:
1T is the opinion of the pharmacy
commission that the business of TAX
ing orders and delivering medicines,
as is done by agents Of the Larkin
company and similar concerns, under
what is known as the club plan con
! stitutes ftinerant vending within the
meaning of section 1886 o. the code,

A MODEL NEWSPAPER.

Through the kindness of some un
known friend The Gate City has been
receiving daily for some time copies
of the Christian Science Monitor pub
lished in Boston The Monitor Is a
model newspaper in that it is abso-
lutely clean throughout, in both news
and advertising columns, and that its
discussion of events and matters OF
current interest are invariably fail,
candid and at high range. Scandals,
murders, the doings of the divorce
courts and sensational news of every
kind are carefully excluded and their
place filled with matter covering a
wide range and of great educational
value. 1t is not creed publication,
as some might imagine. one would
not know from reading it that 1t was
affiliated with that or any other creed
or cult. 1t is simply high-class daily
newspaper and as such is a potent
protest against the methods and char
acter of what is known as yellow
Journalism. 1t is not possible for the
average newspaper TO be as clean and
uplifting as the Monitor, owing to
the popular demand for all the news,
but it is at least possible for every
newspaper to uphold that admirable
publication as criterion of what it
would like to be.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF IOWA.

According TO the census reports,
the value of Iowa farms has doubled
in the past ten years. The total num-
Der of farms in Iowa has decreased
FIVE per cent in the past decade The
Iowa farm acreage in 1910 amounts
TO 33,965.000 acres, while in 1900, it
amounted to 34,575,000 acres, show
ing an actual decrease of farm lands
in Iowa during the decade of 10 per
cent. The value of farm implements
in Iowa rose sixty-four per cent n
the decade and the amount OF wages
paid for farm labor increased fifty
one percent, but the amount expend-
ed for fertilizers decreased sixty
eight per cent. The number of farms
in Iowa. operated by white farmers
is 1872 less than the number ten
years ago and there are only 204
farms operated by colored farmers.
as against 227 ten years ago. The
number of Iowa farms operated by
owners or part owners has decreased
SIS per cent, while the number op-
rated by tenants has increased from
70, 72S to S2,p39, an increase of %
per cent There is also an increase
of twenty-one per cent in the nuu,-
br OF farms operated by hired manag-
ers. In 1900. there were 1851 such
farms and in 1910, ISIS.
This decrease in the number OF
Iowa farms, in connection with over
1000 loss in the population of the
state, has called forth considerable
comment from Iowa and other news
papers. The Northwestern Agricultur-
ist in speaking of the disclosure as
10 the lessened number of farms
says the statistics do not indicate
that the small farmer is prospecting
as it would like 10 see him. Land
values have increased and crowded
+ him out Under these circumstances,
these small farmers have gone where
land was cheaper, into the Dakotas,
into Northern Minnesota and North
ern Wisconsin, and some into Can
ada
But the Agriculturist maintains that
this does not necessarily indicate that
Iowa agriculture is on the decline.
On the contrary, it points out that
that idea is directly contradicted Dy
the increasing value of Iowa farm
lands, but it does indicate that the
man who holds this valuable land,
must farm it clear UP to the limit.
He must know modern methods of
agriculture and apply them, or he
cannot make the land pay interest
on its high valuation.
The lesson drawn from the Iowa
!. figures is that the time has gone BY
when half methods of farming viii

The Mulct Law VS.. Prohibition.


Iowa City Republican: Sunday has
come and gone. but no problem has
been solyed He was brought here
TO hold up old fashioned hell fire with
which TO scare the superstitious and
prevent them from signing the mulct
petitions. The people here have to
choose between an attempt at prohi-
bition, with loss of revenue and c~n-
Sequent increase of taxation. and
probably decentralization. and a con-
tinuance of well enforced law which
has proved the best solution of the
liquor traffic in Iowa, and we have had
many kinds of laws. Men have signed
the petitions from sense of duty in
the face of threats by mail and boy
colt already in force and others
threatened. And they are going to
stand by their convictions. The peo-
pie of Iowa City. nine-tenths of them,
do not want prohibition. Threats
have kept many from signing, because
it is human nature to move along the
lines of least resistance. If Iowa City
people could go to the polls and vote,
the majority for the mulct law would
be greater than all the votes that
would be cast against it, This shows
that threats are preventing the peo-
pie from acting as they otherwise
would.
