The storeroom for food may be the

BY BILLIE BURKE.

THE FIRST WORD-M0dern dress
must be made for modern needs.
The woman of today is a utili-
tartan animal before she is a thing
of beauty, and her clothes must con-
form to her circumstances. The
tailor-made gown worn by the Bnsi-
ness woman really has nothing to
commend it except hat it is suit
able, but. being that, it has a GER
tain beauty of fitness which would
not be found in the dainty fri1ls of
the society girl. Trig neatness has
a. modern charm Of its own and the
dress of the woman who works
should always have that indispen-
sable quality, whether it sbe the clean
print Of the woman who is a nurse
or does homework. or the up-to-date
cloth skirt and linen shirtwaist of
the woman in the Office.
At home ones own artistic or in
dividual taste and comfort in dress
car be INDUCED and individual taste
may have a certain fascination even
If it is not artistically beautiful.
OF curse, IL one Is married to a
man who is very conventional in his
ideas of woman's dress, it goes with
out saying that one may never be
seen other than tightly corseted and
dressed. But being the arbiter of
ones own body as well as soul-and
this is what every woman strives to
belt certainly makes life more joy
GUS t. indulge in fancies once in a
while.
In the strenuous life of today,
whether the oma be in business or
society, the corset is a necessity. One
cannot wear a girdle at what Is called
the normal place without a corset.
Why the normal waistline should
be just above the hips of the modern
woman is unexplainable. The cein-
ture or girdle was first used to con-
fine the bust; now, when we wear our
girdles there, it Is called the raised
waistline."
Very few women of individual ideas
in gowning wear corsets in the priv
acy of their own homes. If they are
stout, especially-made girdles or
waists usually r substituted, but
the gowns hang more or less free
from the shoulders and fall into the
lines of the figure.
1t is mock modesty which resent.
the revealment of the beautiful line
of the human figure through a cling
ing garment. There is nothing NOR,
pleasing than the suggestion of long
lines and soft curves seen through
the folds of such. drapery. The
Greeks, who worshiped beauty, knew
this. and consequently no people yet

A Red Nose: Its Causes and
Possible Cure
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Can you kindly tell me of something
redg As I have no liquor habits /
iv Obliged. JACK.
A red nose is a most unpleasant
affliction, usually caused by defect
i've digestion or an impoverished con-
dition of the system, as well as by
sluggish circulation. Indigestion, be-
cause it materially affects the circu-
lation, may alone be the root of the
trouble. To cure it you must be
very careful of your diet. Let your
food be very plain. consisting of beef,
mutton, plenty of fresh vegetables
and fruits and a very small supply
Of sugar such as is contained in sim
pie desserts.
If the nose by flushing every two
hours gives warning that the stom-
ach requires some nourishment, drink
a glass of hot milk. or if this can
not be obtained, hot water. Drink
two cups of hot water on arising
and as much water, both hot and
cold, as you can during the day.
Avoid the use of tea and coffee.
Take bicarbonate of soda after
meals. The dose consists of half
a teaspoonful of the soda to half a
glass of water. Other tonics should
be prescribed by a physician. Log
ically iron is one n phosphates is
another, but the kind and quantity
must be regulated by a professional.
Exercise out of doors is part of the
cure. Walking rapidly is n of the
best ways of getting exercise, but
slow walking is of little benefit.
For fifteen minutes every night and
morning stand before an open win
dow and take breathing exercises.
Wash the face in tepid water, as
that which is either cold or hot has
a bad effect.
l will give you an external remedy,
but I believe more in the efficacy of
proper diet and exercise. After bath
ing the nose in tepid water gently
rub the following pomade on 1t:
Pure glycerine, 4 grams; precipitate
of sulphur, 4 grams; p~recipitated
chalk, 4 grams; cherry laurel water.
4 grams; alcohol (rectifed), 4 grams.
DON'T wear tight collars.
1t will take weeks to get rid of the
color in your nose. but if the regime
laid down is followed faithfully some
benefit will be derived.

escaped from the St Croix County
asylum, near this city, and though
found two hours later, had persisted

ant went through the ward at 4:3O

asleep, apparently. When the attend
ant made his next round at o'clock.
Wright was missing. He had removed
his night clothes and jumped from a
second story window A diligent
search failed to locate him about the
asylum, and he was finally tracked
by drops of blood in the snow and
found dead in field, some distance
away He was entirely naked. He
was a graduate of the Cumberland
High school, an exceptionally brill
liant and promising student, and was
studying for the ministry when his
health broke down and his mind
gave way under the strain of study.
1t is said that after leaving high
school he taught in country schools

DAIRY COWS ARE TOO FEW
Ex-Gov. Hoard Gives This as Reason
for High Butter Prices-Does
Not Blame Tax on Cleo.

Fort Atkinson.-Th fact that the
Cow population has not increased
as fast as the human population" is
assigned as the cause for the present
high prices of butter by former Gov.
w. d. Hoard, editor of Hoard's
Dairyman, who has been one of the
foremost dairy advocates in the state
for years. Regarding the present
situation he says:
In my opinion the cause of the
high price of butter is its scarcity.
The COW population has not kept
pace with the human population.
Then, besides, a very large proper
ton of the milk over what it for
merly was, has been diverted to fam
lily consumption and condensing pur-
poses.
The great milk shipping districts
no longer raise calves They buy
their COWS and in about two years
sell them for beef and buy again.
The tax of 10 cents a pound on
artiflcially colored oleomargarine has
nothing to do with the high price of
butter, for the reason that about 95
per cent of oleomargarine is taxed
only one-fourth of a cent a pound,
because it is not artificially colored
The talk of the tax increasing the
price of butter is a humbug. Once
let butter become plenty and down
Will come the price of butter and
oleomargarine.
'But the oleo makers think they
can fool the consumer into opposition
to the law and thus work it's repeal
Then they will have the field to
themselves, with the privilege OF
selling a counterfeit stuff for butter
