"They point out how, through the
influence of the women voters, the
drink curse has been diminished in
the above-named countries, and all
but extirpated in some of them, and
hygienic improvements introduced
into factories and workshops and
wages raised, and overwork pre-

mighty argument.) Well, what is

of that fine feast. In imagination
likely they did.

greatest cities are struggling for the
honor Of celebrating that achieve
ment with a great worlds exposition.

and the products of the earth exhfb-
tied
Each OF these cities has pledged
millions of money for the successful
production of a celebration in which
al nations are to be invited to par
ticipate yet when we come to ex-
hibit the greatest fundamental ne
cessity of any state or nation-the
public highways, We make the poor
est showing. the most ridiculOusly
wretched exhibition of any civilized
country in the world, a condition
that is viewed with amazement by
all foreigners and endured by our
own people with a patience which
is a serious reflection upon their
good sense. It is surely a matter Of
tremendous import that in the Unit
ed States bad roads are responsible
for the loss of a billion dollars a
year, and the saving of this stupen-
dous sum surely constitutes an econ
omic question of vast Importance.
IN a communication just sent out
to the press, Arthur G. Jackson,
president of the National Good
Roads association, says:
soon both New Orleans and San
coD-
gress in vigorous if not bitter rivalry
for the privilege of holding the Pan
ANA exposition, and each will pre-
sent a multitude of attractions and
advantages which no one can ques-
ton. Why then should not these
two queen cities join hands and the
friends of each urge that both be
officially authorized to create an ex-
position in it's own way and with its
own money, and the government
build q great national higway be-
tween the two? There is ample time
for its construction. and while the
exposition would last but for sea-
son, the highway would endure as
long as the canal itself. and what
more splendid contribution could our
country make for the development
and prosperity of the two great new
cornmonwealths of New Mexico and
Arizona. which by reason of their
immense area and present sparce
noDuIation could not possibly be eX-
pected to do as much as older and
more popuIous states. Louisiana,
Texas and California could and with
out doubt would gladly bear half the
cost Of construction through their
respective states. and great i'm
petus be given to permanent road
construction in every state"

PROBABLY complain to the janitor,"
grinned Timothy, gathering pile of
dishes and whisking them into the
kitchen. Hurry up, sweetheart. Let
the dishes wait till we come home.
Get on your things and let's join the
crowd. If we can't have a Lakeville
Christmas Wen have the New York
kind, eh?"
"Of course we will" agreed his
wife
The Bells enjoyed their excursion
into the shopping districts. The broad
avenues were ablaze with light and
color, and the moving multitudes OF
Christmas purchasers formed con-
stantly changing pictures that delight
ed the country bred eyes of Timothy
and his wife. More than once limo

to add a mite to some Salvation Army

Of food or warmth was apparent to
his observing glance. Once he and
Laura conveyed a party Of four rag
ged urchins into little toyshop and
made four children radiantly happy
with simple gifts.
When they reached home again the
clocks were striking II and Laura's
eyes were sparkling with happiness.
while Timothy felt quiet satisfaction
in the pleasure the evening had brought
them. AS they waited for the elevator
a young man and a girl entered the
building and stood near them.
Timothy's keen glance noted that the
man was well dressed, but rather thin
IL clad for the season. His face was
thin and pale, as if he had recently
been i'll, while his dark eyes wore q

was out of keeping with the spirit Of
the approaching festival. The girl. who
wore a wedding ring on one slender
ungloved hand, watched him with a
pretty air of motherly anxiety. She
was a brown little thing, with hair
and eyes of a warm russell hue and a
charming face that attracted Laura
Bells attention.
AS they glided up in the elevator
Laura found herself watching the girl
with interest. There was a sad look
when the young mans glance was
turned away from her uplifted face,
and Laura noted little tense lines about
the mobile lips. The elevator stopped
at the Bells floor, and as they left the
car Mrs Bell turned with a sudden
impulse and nodded in the friendliest
manner at the little brown girl.
Merry Christmas!" she called.

German Boys work Problem.

When, an American boy leaves
school he does not always know what
sort of work he wants or which he
is fit for. Or even when he knows
exactly what kind of job he desires,
he often does not know at all how
to find it. Such job as he aims
for may not exist within his oppor-
tunities of place and time. So the boy
leaving school, may drift into an un-
suitable occupation, or worse, into
no occupation at all, in spite of an
honest wish, originally, to work.
In Germany they order these
things better, the Detroit Free Press
says. That admirable study of
s'The German Workman" the work
of the Munich labor bureau for boys
leaving school is recorded. Munich
teachers became interested in finding
suitable work for their boys in 1906,

Preserves Natural
Color of the Hair

(From woman's National Masazine.)
ANY woman can postpone for years
the time when her hair becomes thin
and gray. It is a mistake to shampoo
frequently with soap and water, as
that tends to make the scalp scaly and
hard and the hair dull and faded.
The hair will respond quickly to
the proper home treatment. Put in a
fruit jar four ounces of orris root and
four ounces of therox Shake until
well mixed. Once or twice a week
sprinkle a little of this powder on the
head and brush it Thoroughly through
the hair.
This dry shampoo removes dirt.

leaves the hair fresh. sweet and clean.

has grappled with the question more
successfully.
Every year printed schedules of
comprehensive questions are sent to
every head teacher of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year.
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the
municipal labor bureau, which will
advise them as to the choice of a
vocation and give them the best
chance possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to
all the trade guilds and other labor
societies, to enlist their coopera-
ton.
The children respond readily to
the aid given them. Boys come by
dozens to the Office of the bureau
In search Of positions as appren-
Itice or beginner. Each brings a.
form of application, filled up by him
SELF but signed by his teacher.
When the bureau finds place for
him he is notified by post card and
he presents himself for examination
ever the latter may appoint.
Whether the boy takes the job or
not, he must report to the bureau
the result of the interview; and this
goes on until work is procured which
suits him and which he is able to do.
For the direction of the boys the
labor bureau is prepared, with the
aid of expert employers and medi-
cal men, a handsome book of indus
tries open to the boy. This hand
book describes the different kinds
of work, the qualifications neces1
sary to each, the prospects of pro-
motion or steady employment, the
health conditions, the dangers and
difficulties, the cost and time Of
training and everything else which
the boy and his parents ought to
know before choosing his career.
