La TOILETTE, THE GREAT
LONE FIGHTER

The American Magazine. which Is
to begin publishing Senator LaFol-
lette's autobiography In its October
number, says OF the senator In the
September number:
The most characteristic and spir-
tied figure In the so-called progress
sive movement In America Is Rob-
ert M. LaFollette, United States sen-
ator from Wisconsin. No other lead
er 30 nearly expresses In his own
character and career its every fac
tor-all of its power, it's moral en-
thusiasm, its sympathy for the con-
man man. It's feryor for tearing down
and building anew, even its occa-
sional circumstances and impatience
he represents It all No man In our
pubic life today awakens more pas
sionate loyalty on the one hand or
more bitter hostility on the other. He
is a parsonage not to be escaped or
ignored.
LaFollette Is one of those men OF
rare intensity OF mind and feeling
who appear occasionally In public
life. He has an enduring devotion 10
the things he believes and he fights
for them. He seems TO have been
driven always by the inner impulse,
From the beginning he has been q
nonconformist, a protestant In poll
tics. He showed this characteristic
from the time he became district at
torney In Madison mere youth,
beating tho machine In the nominal
ing convention And every step OF
his career has meant a fight.
This has required not only cour
age, conviction and intensity of pur
pose. but pure physical endurance
As q physical machine LaFollette Ia
marvel OF tirelessness-a man who
can work all day and all night and
all day again. thirty-six hours almost
continuously, and then after nights
sleep go to work again unaffected
by the strain.
These qualities of mental and ply
steal endurance have been an armor
for LaFollette during the long years
wnen he was the lone fighter In
Washington. He then ctood where he
now stands: he advocated the things
he now breaches; but at present
there are a dozen senators and many
representatives following in the same
path, inspired by the same ideas. And
these men represent millions OF vo.
tiers whose minds have been similar
~ moved to interest In these new pol
icfes.

A WOMAN TELLS HOW SHE
REDUCES EXPENSES

The Woman's Home Companion for
September contains a collection OF
practical suggestions on how to reduce
family expenses. One contributor says !:
"of course the cost of living has ad.
vanced to a great degree; but the
close observer will find how she can
greatly lessen some expenses. First,
I find Il great benefit to go to mar
ket as early in the morning as permits
sible, thus obtaining vegetables, etc,
while fresh. and saving. perhaps, a
pound or two waste. Another way in
which | have reduced expenses is by
purchasing more than one can, pound,
or what It might be. at a time: for In
stance, prunes, Is cents per pound, or
The Detroit times., 1911-08-21

two pounds for 20 cents, and a well.
known laundry soap at five cents per
cake, or seven cakes for rs cents.
Now, In dealing with the unscrupu.
lous merchant, 1t Is necessary to be
very inquisitive, as he does not care
to inform you of those prices.
Another great help is to insist upon
accurate weights and measures. or
perhaps, the grocer across the street
sells lard and bacon at two cents less
per pound. II the lady who goes TO
market will observe these few items
mentioned. and let the dealer see that
she intends TO get what dollar should
purchase, instead of what IL some
times does purchase. she will no doubt
be surprised at the end of a month TO
see what a factor her attention to the
culinary department has been In soly.

Whether this means that a branch
line will be built is not known, but it
is expected that a line will be built
over this survey in q short time.
J. l. Campbell, engineer of mainten-
ance and ways on the Southwestern,
under whose direction the work is be-
ing done, said: The engineers will
survey on the west side of the Rio
Grande up the valley 35 miles to
point opposite Las Cruces. This, how
ever, is no Indication that the FL Paso
