l Love Beauty.

IF my looks have improved said
Miss Fisher, 'ft's because love beauty
and desire it so ardently. You can do
great deal by study, you can improve
yourself physically by exercise. diet and
care, but | think back of ii all it is the
mind the beauty loving spirit, the de-
sire to improve in every way. to study
to learn and accomplish something All
this shows in ones face, because the
face is just the reflector of the soul, and
as you grow to think, and to care for
beautiful things, you naturally reflect
your constant thoughts.
"If she determines not to sink into
the slough of LONELINESS, or let others
push her into it, there is always a
chance that she will grow into pretty
girl, and if she can't be really pretty she
can at least be an interesting one"
AS she had gained interest in her
subject, Miss Fishers naturally brilliant
color had come back into her cheeks.

that sparkling vitality which is called

Another Nonoxide Tragedy.

Another fatal case of carbon monoxide
gas poisoning has occurred to show that
the warning given a few years ago by
the death OF an entire family did not
cause sufficient care In the use Of illumi-
mating gas for heating purposes This
latest death resulted from the imperfect
combustion In a water heater in a bath
room. 1t Is to be hoped that the inquest
In this case will develop the exact ply

fault lay with the heater or its use or the
quality Of the gas supplied to 1t. 1t has
been shown by the investigation stimulat-
ed BY the wholesale gas poisoning already
mentioned that the production Of carbon
monoxide will not occur when there Is

As far as Is known there Is no particular

physicians. and the court records bear
witness to the evil effects OF these long
reaches from pave to platform. Numef-
Gus suits have been fled OF account Of
them. The railway officials themselves
recognise that they are not well suited to
the public comfort and safety. but under
take to justify their continued use on the
around that they ARE necessary to give
clearance room under the car body for
the heavy motors now needed in the
service. 1t Is undoubtedly true that the
development of the large car involves the
raising Of the platform from the pave
But this does not necessarily mean that
the step must be painful height above
the street. The whole trouble arises from
the fact that there are not enough cars
in use. To cut the steps back and thus
lower them would decrease the platform
space. which in turn would mean the
dimiuution Of the extra passenger carry
ing room. AS long as the local railway
companies insist upon packing the plat
forms. even In some cases the new type OF
pay-as-you-enter or pay-within cars. there
can be no structural changes to give the
public convenient and safe access.
This is one Of the questions that could
be effectively considered by the proposed

with steps more than twelve or four

without imposing any really unreasonable
requirement upon the corporations. 1t

The suggestion has been advanced that
all the Washington policemen be with
drawn from the White House, both
grounds and building, and replaced by re-

would be difficult for those who object to

whole question is how in the public in
terest with both national and local vel.
fare in view the White House is to be
guarded from undesirable visitors. Wash.

Clark and Folk.

Two propositions now under discussion
are the recall and the presidential pri-
mary, and in Missouri. IL the democrats
are in earnest. there IS an excellent op-
portunity to put both into rractice.
Take the recall. Nearly two wears ago
at a democratic state convention reso-
luton was adopted indors'ng Joseph w
Folk for President At that time Chamn
Clark. while a national figure. was not re-
sarded as presidential quantity. He hal
been leading the minority in the House
very we'll. but was only the minority
leader there. At the following November
elections a new House was chosen. and
the democrats carried the day. Forthwith
Mr.. Clark's importance rose in the ma
tional scale. and It has been rising ever
since. In the short period of twenty-four
hours he completely eclipsed Mr.. Folk
and by the country at large is today the
only Missourian seriously considered in
connection with next years national race
In the Tight of these facts, should not
the Endorsement OF Mr.. Folk be recalled?
Was it not a premature performance?
Should 4 be insisted on now that situa-
ton. unforeseen. unforeseeable then ex-
SITS, in which Missouri is so much inter-
ested? Will not a further insistence in
stead Of being pro-Folk. in effect be anti
Clark? Does Missouri real. wish to take
herself out of the presidential equation?
Mr.. Folk. while possessing good FARO
chial record, is not. and cannot be made.
q national quantity alongside such men
as Gov. Harmon. Gov Wilson. Mr. Under.
wood and Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Clark, on the
other hand. belongs in that compan-- and
nubrc sentiment has assigned him to a
place there There are good politicians,
indeed. who think that as matters stand
today he and Gov Wilson are in the lead
and running neck and neck. Never in the
history Of Missouri has one of her sons
been 50 prom nent in such a contest.
But If the Folk folk will not agree to
the recall. then the present-day sentiment
of the democracy Of the state as to Mis-
souris entry in the presidential race
should be taken. nat say the rank and
file as between a man who has never had
has not now. and can never have, a
chance. and a man who. though under
discussion but for short time, is every
where redkcned as possess ng one of the
best Of chances? Why not let the dead
past bury its dead? The Folk of 1910,
well as he looked at home then, is not the
Folk Of 1872, while the Clark of 1910 has
grown SO amazingly he is now in the
front rank of his party leaders.
A presidential primary would settle this
matter. and If one is called the country
