A MUCH NEEDED REFORM

The democratic party will make
a great mistake if it loses the OPP
portunity now presented to
change the dates for the conven-
ing of congress. Under the
present law the first regular ses-
sion does not meet until thirteen
months after the election-only
eleven months before the next
election, and the second session
does not convene until after the
succeeding election, when many
congressman have been defeated.
1t is unfortunate that the country
should have to wait SO long after
an election before securing the
remedial laws voted for, and still
more unfortunate that it should
be made the victim of legislation
that could not be enacted before
the election. The democratic
congress should take advantage
of it's majority to pass a law
changing the date of both sessions
should convene March A, Tor, if
the d a of inauguration is
changed, on that day. This
could be the short session. The
second session should begin the
first of December when t h e
first session begins now n d
should adjourn at | a thirty
days before the following elect
ion.
Provision, should be made for
third session every four years
to count the electoral vote and
the president should be empower.

KEEP COOL

1t may not be doubted that in
his efforts to prevent anything
that would bring about compli-
crtions for the United States in
the Mexican conflict, President
Taft has the support of Ameri-
cans generally. The American
people do not want war or any
thing that would result in any
sort of war. 1t would be well
if public men could keep as cool
on these war questions as Ameri-
cans generally are. Certainly
President Taft in his peaceable
attitude represents public senti-
ment in America.
The American people are dis
tinctly for peace peace with
Mexico and Mexicans, peace
with Japan, peace with all t h
world; and finally, for the aboli-
ton OF war altogether. T h y
will commend heartily the efforts
of every man who strives to bring
about the realization of this good
end.

Theory vs. Practise.

A certain Dr. C. was once read ing a very strenuous paper on total abstinence before a clerical club-so the story goes-when the entertainer went out to tell his wife how many she was to provide for at supper
 What are they doing?" she asked, and was told the subject of the essay. What shall I do?" she cried. Here have branded peaches, and it is too late to change"
 Make no change" said her hus- band. "It will be all right"
 The essayist had the post of honor at the right of the lady of the house, and she presented him with dish of the peaches. After a while she said to him. ''Dr. C., won't you allow me to give you some more of these peaches?"
 Thank yoc." he replied. They are excellent"
 A little later she said: "Dr. C., may not give you another peach?"
 ''No. thank you" said he apolo- getically, but will take little more of the avy."-Harper's Magazine

When Novels Were Long.

The longest novels of today are pig mics compared with those published in the seventeenth century. Mile. de Scudery's ''Le Grand Cyrus" ran into ten volumes, it's publication being spread over five years. And when 1t was translated, or, to quote the title page, "Englished by a Person of Honor" it appeared in five folio vol umes of some 500 pages apiece. An other novelist of the same period, La Calpenede, was even more diffuse, one of his works, "Cleopatre," extending over twenty-three volumes. These novels found plenty of readers, despite their enormous length. The Paris pub fisher of "Le Grand Cyrus" made 100.- 900 crowns by the first edition alone. Nearly all the works of Scudery and Calprenede were translated into Eng fish as soon as they appeared and many of them into German as we'll London Chronicle.

Deceit in Women.

Many girls of great beauty wonder why it is that they are not so popular as their less attractive friends. Per haps it is because they are deceitful. do not mean to infer that beauty and deceit travel together, for this is not necessarily the case.
 If there is any vice that is loath- some and revolting to man, it is de ceit. Man is a broad, honest creature, wholly free from those smaller mo tives and failings which unfortunately so often characterize the gentler sex.
 Know yourself" If you have been false in the past to yourself and friends. try being true blue for a few days; you will have more friends, and life will hold deeper, more whole some meaning for you. Remember. girls, a so-called good fellow" will win out over mistress of charm and beauty marred and polluted with de- ceit.

Lacked Lenath of Leaa.

A large pompous person, wear ing a high-hat, a long coat, yellow spats and a congenital sheer, for sev. eral days made himself obnoxious around a Washington hotel bit ago.
 He announced he was from New York, nagged the bellboys, jawed the clerks, cussed the service, roared at the food, complained about his room and the elevator and the telephones and the bar, and everything else.
 One afternoon he walked over to the porter and said: Here you, I'm going to quit this town and go back to New York, where I can get some decent service. I want you to buy me two seats in a parfor car on the 4 o'clock New York train. Get me two seats now, and meet me at the station with the tickets. I want one chair to sit in and one to put my feet in."
 The seats were delivered at the train just before it pulled out One of the seats was in car No. and the other was located in car No. 4.-Cleve- land Leader.

HORSES THAT FEED ON FISH
Wild Banker Ponies Greedily DeVour Fish Left Stranded by High
 Tide.

Along the shores of Albemarie sound, South Carolina, lie miles of low sandy banks, the greater part be- ing covered with little vegetation save coarse grass, wild parsley, and other saltwater weeds. To this region come those who shoot the canvas-back duck that frequents the little streams and salt marshes with which this coast abounds, feeding upon the wild par sley and marsh grains. On some of these banks are breed of small wild horses, known in the neighborheod as banker ponies" They are quite untamed and uncared for, have rough shaggy coats, and are generally about twice the size of Shetland pony, now and again one reaching the size of a small horse.
 Each year the herd-owners drive them into pens, where the foals are branded with his owners mark, and those required are caught and sold to the dealers. It is said that these beasts have to be starved into eating grain and hay or grass, their whole subsistence up to this time having 
 marshes, and fish The latter they catch for themselves at low tide, us ing their hoofs to dig deep holes in the sand below high-water mark; and they greedily devour the fish so left stranded, often fighting over an es- pecially tempting one.
 In captivity they are said to dis play intelligence, though seldom re liable temper They are tanned by darkness and semi-starvation, and make excellent draught animals, show ing strength far beyond their size. They eat voraciously, consuming as much as fulI-sized horses.
 The foals bred from banker po- nies" in captivity make valuable ami mals. They are strong, healthy and intelligent, less vicious than their pa> rents, and command good prices.

BRUNSWICK $ MODEL
GERMAE CITY HAS THE BEST SYS-
 ITEM OF CHARITIES.
Organization Headed by the Mayor by Which Poverty, With Its Attendant Evils, Is Reduced to the
 Minimum.

''The subject of organized charities forms a most interesting study to the political economist and the humanita- rian," said J. w. F. Kanzler of WoItep- buettel, Germany, at the Arlington.
 Tt is generally admitted that the city of Brunswick, Germany, has the model system of organized charity. Brunswick, I should judge, is about half the size of Washington. It is only few miles from my home, and as l am especially interested in the subject of the amelioration of the con- dition of the poor, have paid consid- erable attention to the methods en- ployed here. Brunswick is, fortunate ly, provided with a number of small parks near the center of the com pactly built district, much like those of Washington. These are utilized as playgrounds and make the work for the relief of the children much easier.
 ''The city is divided into 26 admin istrative districts for the supervision equal number for the work of taking care of orphans and dependent chill dren- The mayor of the city is presi- dent of the board of administration. He has an official stan, which includes head physician, a specialist in dis eases of the eye and another in dis eases of the ear. Each poor district Is under the supervision of director. He is assisted by a dozen or more men, who are known as guardians, and by half as many women. A prac- ticing physician is assigned to each district. The districts for orphans also have their guardians, usually the same persons as those in charge of tie relief work for the poor. These guardians are chosen from different classes, merchants, teachers and per >ons with independent incomes. They -erve without pay. By this systematic organization poverty, with its attend ant evils, is reduced to a minimum.
 There are more than a hundred benevolent organizations in the city, but no unofficial charity organization society. Many of them are devoted entirely to furnishing recreation in the country and at the seashore for poor children. These institutions are supported by contributions of small amounts made by the citizens. Bruns- wick has excellent public baths, which the children are taught to use often The little ones who live in that city have a great advantage over the children of most large cities as result of the kindness and the wis dom of the influential men and women of the place. ce."-Washington Herald

FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT
Has Not Good Word to Say for Froeks or Millinery of
 This Season.

It is interesting to note the anima- tion with which women. or rather some women, attack the present styles. It is invariably the woman of flesh who Is the most emphatic in dis approval. Not a good word is to be said by her for frocks or millinery of this season.
 Hats are imprudently absurd, skirts immodestly cut, jackets trivial. and even the efforts of great dressmakers dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she tells it. It Is a season, according to the woman whose hips refuse to re- move themselves, of grotesque absur- dities. The hysterical note is struck. So why argue?
 Whether we argue or not, certain things must be acknowledged. The present fashions in some directions have reached such perfection that to condemn them is ridiculous, to ignore them impossible. So let us forget the fact that our too comfortable contours refuse brazenly to confine themselves within the slim limits of the present silhouette and see if we cannot judge of the fashions of the day with an unbiased eye, if not with entirely un- trammeled hips.
 In spite of criticism and caricatura they may alone be called epoch ma king. Line and drapery have clothed themselves in such artistic grace; color and fabric have attained such perfection of combination and weave that they take their places with fam ous fashions of other days.
 They are in a great measure re- vivals, yet revivals so skillfully adapt ed to our needs and environment that they are accepted with enthusiasm by the intelligent few. The lover of color and line rejoices in their existence, the beauty-loving eye revels in their softly woven and luxurious fabrics.
 The great dressmakers have gath cred from the Greeks and Romans. from Egyptians and Orientals, from the Alexandrian and first empire pe- riods fashions. fabrics. and colors which, when combined and crystal lized, place the styles of this season uniquely apart.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
It Flushes the System, Carrying Out Impurities and Leaving What Is
 Beneficial.

To say that drinking at least three pints of water a day would make a girl beautiful would be grossest exag- geration, but 1t Is perfectly true that such an amount of fluid, taken judi ciously every day, will be wonderful aid in acquiring or increasing good looks, and 1t Is such a cheap way of improving one's appearance that to tg- nore 1t is pity.
 Water, properly taken. fiushes the system as pipe is cleaned by putting down 1t a large quantity of pure cleans ing liquid at once. And, as with the pipe, impurities are carried out, leav- ing only that which is beneficial
 In order that the good effect shall be gained, two facts are important: One Is that the liquid shall not be taken with meals, and the other that 1t shall not be of icy temperatures. In the former case 1t dilutes the gastric juices, sometimes causing indigestion. and certainly neutralizing some of the nourishing properties of food; in the latter it stays digestion, and may be the cause of severe pain.
 Many dietitians now agree that wa ter should not be taken with meals, and that many cases of indigestion may be traced directly to the fact that this theory Is unheeded. To derive benefit a glassful should be taken. at time, slipping 1t slowly and not gulp- ing in large quantities. Ten minutes for each glass is none too long. The temperature may be cool, but not sufi- ciently so to chill the stomach.
 The first drink is not to be taken sooner than half an hour after a meal, and water is not to be put into the stomach later than half an hour before a meal.
