LIGHT on A MOOTED QUESTION

AT last the secret of the long hatpin
/ is out. Women wear them because
they can't get any other kind. A
Brooklyn woman is authority for the
statement that short hatpins cannot be
found in the market
! Speaking further concerning the me-
mace of the long hatpin, the Brooklyn
woman says that while she wears a
small hat, as do tens of thousands Of
other women this year, only one length
of hatpin is to be found. The woman
4 in question further alleges that all hat
pins are made upon the model of a
year or a year and a half ago. when
big hats were the rage
Long hatpins, according to this fem
mime authority, are in common use
not because they are desirable, but be-
cause they monopolize the trade. The
shorter hatDins cannot be found The
manufacturers Of hatpins, who are all
men, continue to make up millions Of
them on the old model Women have
to buy them or go without. What
woman, indeed, would go without a
hatpin?
This in brief is the arraignment
made against men by those who use
long hatpins. The men who have their
countenances punctured and gashed
and scraped by long hatpins on street
cars or in other close places should
remember that the women who wear
the hatpins are not to blame Oh, no,
it's the men who sell them! This is
another shining example of mans in
humanity to man.
Let militant man take up arms
against the inhuman brother. Let
notice be served upon the manufac-
turers of hatpins that the long, javei-
nn-like weapon with which fair women
fasten their turbans and cart-wheels
to their heads, must be recalled. Too
long has mere man suffered at the un-
willing hands of the gentler sex. What
has appeared to be woman's thought
lessness is only mans commercial
greed. Down with the maker of the
long hatpin.
Or shall we make demand of the So
ciety for~the Prevention of Cruelty %
Animals?

A PRESIDENTIAL APPETIZER.

Georgia made possum famous
throughout the nation when President
Taft visited Atlanta soon after his
Inauguration. Another new Epicurean
offering has come to notice recently.
This time the 'possum's cousin, Br'er
Rabbit, forms the basis of the new ad-
dition to the menu, which bears the al
Turing name of rabbit sausage.
During length of time too long to
be computed, the lineaI descendants Of
the original Uncle Remus, as we'll IS
others, have revealed in the juiciness
and appetizing flavor of fried rabbit.
The incorporation, however, of Br'er
Rabbit into sausage, with which the
name Of his arch enemy, the dog, S
indissolubly linked, is a distinct inno-
walton. 1t will likely displace rabbit
hash, which burnt cork artists and
monographs have made notorious.
Doubtless some genial wag out on a
rabbit hunt perceived the suggestive
connection between disposing of rab-
bit on the menu in the same manner in
which it is rumored that city ours dis
appear. The dog chasing the rabbit
may have suggested the evolution Of
rabbit sausage, which is attributed TO
a resident of Wilkes county. The new
dish has tickled the palates of all who
have been so fortunate as to partake
of it.
The creation of rabbit sausage has
at once suggested the possibility OF
its being used to entertain President
Taft on his next visit to Atlanta this
spring AS each visit made by the
President seems to suggest a new and
distinctive dish, rabbit sausage seems
to be the strongest and erliest bidder
for popular favor in the making of the
menus
One strong recommendation of the
new dish is that the chief ingredient is
even more plentiful than possum.
There is hardly big tuft of grass in
Georgian fields to-day that does not
hide a fat Molly Cottontail
Br'er Rabbit may yet outstrip Br'er
'Possum in presidential favor.

THE ROMANCE OF HAIR Is DEAD

Some have rejoiced that the Chinese
have decided to have themselves shorn
of their time-honored queue, but there
is another side to the question.
There are about 100000 queues
to be clipped off, and all of them are
headed this way. Soon they will be
offered in the hair stores of this
country to adorn the heads of Amer!-
girls and women, who imagine that
they have not already sufficient halr.
One may not recognize them as
Chinese hair, for the wizardry of the
hair-dyer will change their appear
ance. All the hair of the full-blood2d
ChinameR is black. But when it
reaches America it will assume Won
derful shades.
Some of it will glow with Titan
hue beneath a new spring bonnet
Some will be like the spun gold that
poets sing Of while other will be
hazel, dark brown, or any shade that
milady wishes, for the hair-dyer can
even make hair blue.
The romance of resses is dead.
The commercialism of the century has
killed it. How can the poet sing any
longer of golden locks, when ne
doesn't know whether they are his la
ldv'S or Cbipaoap,s
No more will be able to understand
what John Boyle O'Reilly wrote of
Janette's tresses:
1T was brown with a golden gloss,
Janette,
1t was finer than silk of the floss, my
pet;
Twas beautiful mist falling down to
your waist,
Twas thing to be braided, and jew
eled and kissed
Twas the loyeIiest hair in all the
world, my pet"
For, when milady takes off her hair,
she hangs it on peg Who would
want to kiss a Chinaman's hair, any
way

EASY CHANGE.
When Coffee is Doing Harm.

Ever since | can remember We
had used coffee three times a day. It
had a more or less injurious effect
upon us all, and l myself suffered
almost death from Indigestion and
nervousness caused by it.

/ would leave it off for a few days
would feel better But it was hard
to give up, even though I realized
how harmful it was to me.

way to make the change Four years

began to drink Postum, and | also in
nuenced the rest of the family to do
the same Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good
Il no longer suffer from indigestion,
