these ladies were excellent. proving
to the interested hearers that the art
of making the home beautiful was no
task of drudgery, but one of joy and
pleasure. When the spirit of the home
breathes forth contentment, order,
hospitality and christianity, then sure
ly we have the house beautiful, stated
one, The club voted to federate, so
that with joining, this will make 100

Bucket Brigade" Currency,

Saturday Evening Post: They might
have had a panic in Berlin this fall.
There had been speculation and over
trading. Credit was under a sever
strain. Some $50, O0O, 900 of treasury
notes were maturing. The war-cloud-
ed political horizon caused France TO
draw in the money, and the amount or

was estimated at 100000, 900. In some
parts of the empire signs Of uneasiness
among bank depositors appeared. The
failure of the Bank of Egypt did not
help matters.
The gravity of the situation appears
from the fact that in a single week the
Imperial bank lost $39,000,000 Of its
cash reserve. This is a rather larger
loss of each reserve than the New
York associated banks suffered in
October, 1907, when they resorted to

Alaska. the Founding.

Duluth News Tribune: Alaska. the
founding of this great government,
may some day get a measure of atten-
ton and justice. Ever since she WAS
left on our doorstep she has been al
lowed TO sit in her while being
robbed of the riches that came as her
inheritance.
This neglected child of the north
has yielded many, many times the
cost of the railroad which President
Taft recommends should be built by
the government. She has paid over
and owe again the expense of all the
Improvement that would assure her
proper development.
There has been no difficulty in get
ting people to live there temporarily
while exploiting her deposits Of gold.
They have dug and washed and come
away to live in luxury and to enrich
all the people of all the states. while
Alaska has been left to shiver in
poverty.
Yet that country IS capable of sup
porting a considerable population, and
would il it had but had what are the
first necessities Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and fuel. 1t has the fuel in endless
quantity and of high quality, but IS
denied it's use while its self -consti-
tuted family quarrels and disputes
over how this shall be given in a
wholesome and proper way.
The child might be spoiled and
further robbed. a thing to be depIored,
since IL it could have but its own gold
for It's own uses, 1t would have beer
among the earth's richest. But hav-
ing been ~despoiled so largely Of It's
most mobile wealth 1t has now come
TO the time OF real development or
starvation.
What will congress do? The presi-
dents recommendations are clear,
wise and backed up By experience. in

and in order to do so increased its note
issue by $154,O0O 900.
Thus, Notwithstanding the severe

All of which shows how a great CEN
trail bank can deal with a crisis. What
would have happened here under like
conditions? Perhaps another suspect

down of the banking system; another

fiagration than n other great nation;

Why We Shake Hands.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands and with a person whom
you know? Here is the reason:
In the old days, when every mar
who had any pretensions to being a
gentleman carried a sword, it was the
custom for men when they met, to
show that they had no intention Of
treachery, to offer each other their
weapon hands-that is. the hand that
would be used to draw the sword, and
to withhold the hand was usually the
signal for a fight.
So fixed did this habit become thai
long after men ceased to wear swords
they still offered the weapon hand to q
friend and declined to offer it to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse
TO shake hands with a person it signi-
fies that you are at war. Among saw
ages. who never carried swords, the
practice Of shaking hands is unknown
and it affords them amusement to see
the white men do it.

With the Women Of the World

Every woman who buys a spring
suit must pay at least min separate
taxes on it, said Mrs. w. L. Platten-
purg, a prominent Kansas City club
woman addressing the Athenaeum.
First, there is the a the farmer pays
on his stock, including the sheep. The
commission dealer buys the wool and
pays another tax on it. The manufac-
turer makes up three taxes in the
price he fixes-one for stock in trade,
one for machinery and one for dye used
in coloring the goods. The wholesaler,
the merchant tailor and the retailer
follow. Finally on the list must be
added the tariff on imported wool.
There is only one way to amend such
conditions-that is through state and
federal constitutional amendments in
favor Of the land value tax.

The betterment of public health con-
ditions has been given an impetus in
North Dakota during the last month,
and the work has received the atten-
ton of club women, especially in Grand
Forks and Fargo. Mrs. J. E. Stevens
of Grand Forks is one of the most ar
dent workers in this cause, and she
has just completed a tour of the north
ern half of the state in the interests
both of public health and the North
Dakota Anti tuberculosis association,
of which she is treasurer and publicity
lecturer. Mrs. Stevens first spoke of
the work of the anti-tuberculosis asso-
citation in its efforts to have the state
sanatorium for tubercuIar patients.
which will be erected at Dunseith, a
modern structure-one which will
prove a great strength in preventing
the spread of the. plague. She also
said that the association would con-
tinue its efforts along this line in the
hope that after the hospital is fairly
established a school for tubercular
children may be built. Along public
health lines Mrs. Stevens indorsed the
efforts of the public health committee
of the state federation, of which Mrs.
r. A. Sprague of Grand Forks is chair
man, in its endeavor to have the club
women of the state assist in the work
of having the Senator Owen bill now
in congress passed. This bill provides
for the establishment Of a national
public health bureau and as the United
States is the only nation of any note
which has no such bureau it's passage
is a mater of vital Importance to it's
people. Mrs. Stevens has presented
this same effort In every city in which
she has spoken during her state tour
for the state association. Mrs. Sprague
is in correspondence with all other
members of the public health commit
tee of the state federation and is
asking each one to bring the matter
before the various clubs and have their
action SEM to the states representa-
tives and senators in congress.
Through the efforts of Mrs. Stevens
and DR.. Fanny Quain of Bismarck, the
latter also a member of the public
health committee, a similar bill was
Endorsed last year by the North Dako-
ia legislature.
