sensation In London Wien Heir
Appears In Lsrid Neckerchief.
Paris. July 1.-The Prince Of Wales
during his short stay in London in con-
nection with his oficial coming OF age
created sartorial sensation In Bond
Street. He appeared dressed in a mourn
ing coat, dark trousers. and the usual
silk hat, but an extremely vivid purple
tie He was recognized by many gilded
youths who pride themselves on their
perfect style, and the purple tie had been
seriously discussed at all the clubs.
No London man who appears in regu-
lation mourning dress would dream OF
wearing anything but a black and white
or dark gray tie, but 1t is quite possible
that the young prince may set new
fashion. He probably has caught this
lurid taste from his new friends In Paris,
Cor although the smart Partisan initiates

his craving for colors cannot be controll-

THAN MANY FR0WNS
Right Kind of Smile Stands Always
for the Best Things There Are
in This Life.

At the door of a hospital is the
sign: If you can't smile don't go in"
There are smiles and smiles, but of
course this means the smile which
stands for the best things in life. not
the kind that irritates, but the kind
which cheers and inspires and stimu-
lates and nourishes. Whoever con.
ceived of that sign was not far from
being a good physician, though he
may have been serving as j%anitor. Bet
ter than medicine is the smile OF
friendship to those who are set apart
by their inflrmities. And the smile of
cheer and h%elpfulness is not only the
passport to the hospital, but to all
the world, If we but knew it. Some
n remarks: WHO is beyond the
ministry of a kindly smile? 1t is a
tonic to the discouraged. 1t helps the
little child for whom the world holds
so much that makes afraid, and it
cheers the aged who find life unspeak-
ably lonely. AS King Arthur's court
vas built by music, so the happier life
We all hunger for here upon earth is
built In large part by the cheerful
faces we see, as we bear the load APP
pointed for us."-Universalist Leader.

Duties Surely ProhIbltory.

In the debate on the bill revising
the duties on steel and iron, Repre-
sentative Dalzell of Pittsburgh says
that even under the existing rates
"the duty on every leading article on
Schedule c is so low as to permit the
substitution of foreign-made goods for
homemade goods" If Representative
Dalzell knows anything about the tar
if on steel and iron he knows that
what he states Is not so, and presum-
ably he knows a good deal about
Schedule G, for 1t has been his espe-
cial duty for many years in congress
to look after the interests of the steel
and iron manufacturers of his district.
He was the attorney for some OF them.
He has been a member Of the house
ways and means committee that pre-
pared tariff bills, and that committee,
when Representative Dalzell's party
was in control, has never failed to
give the, steel and iron people the
duties they asked for. The small i'm
ports of stel and Iron are the best
proof that the duties are practically
prohibitory.

CHlLD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

81 think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema | have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore
His suffering was dreadful. 1T last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau
tiful head Of hair. I think the CUT
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti.

INCREASE IN NUMBER
OF AMERICANS
GOING TO CANADA

Although Western Canada suffered,
as did many other portions of the
west. from untoward conditions, which
turned one of the most promising
crops ever seer in that country, into
but little more than an average yield
of all grains, there is left in the
farmers hands, a big margin of profit.
OF course there lei many farmers
who were fortunate enough to harvest
and market a big yield, and with the
prices that were secured made hand
some returns. From wheat, oats, bar
ley and fax marketed to the LIST of
January. 1912, there was a gross rev.
enue Of $75. $4,000. The cattle, hogs,
poultry and dairy proceeds brought
this up to s101, SIC, 900 or q million
dollars in excess of 1910. There was
still in the farmers hands at that
time about 95 million bushels of wheat
worth at least another sixty-ive mil
lion dollars following for inferior
grades), besides about 100 million
bushels Of oats to say nothing of bar
ley and fax, which would run into sew
eral million of dollars.
There is a great thrush of settlers
to occupy the vacant lands through
out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. The reports from the Govern
ment show that during the past year
upwards of $4,000 Americans crossed
the border into Canada. A great many
of these took up farms, over ten thou
sand having homesteaded, in fact the
records show that every state in the
Union contributed. A larger number,
not caring to go so far away as the
homesteading area, have purchased
lands at from fifteen dollars an acre
to twenty-five dollars an acre. The
prospects for a good crop for 1912
are as satisfactory as for many years.
The land has had sufficient moisture,
and with a reasonably early spring, it
is safe to predict a record crop.
Those who have not had the latest
literature sent out by the Government
agents should send to the one nearest,
and secure a copy.

MIR. carneeie's Bounty.

A summary of Mr.. Carnegie's gifts
for the last year shows a total Of 40
million dollars, % millions Of which
are to be devoted to promoting diffu-
sion Of knowledge among the people of
the United States.
If the purpose Of this last benefac-
ton is carried out effectively it will
help make 1t impossible for any future
Carnegie to duplicate the gift. For If
there were a proper diffusion of knowl-
edge the tariff schedules would not
permit one steel manufacturer to ac-
cumulate a fortune allowing gifts Of
rs millions.

WORKERS NOT HELPED
FUTiLITY OF HIGH PROTECTION
HAS BEEN SHOWN.
Stanley Committee Brings to Light
Proof That Steel Trust Is Paying
Wages That Are a Disgrace
to the Country.

The Stanley committee heard some
interesting testimony bearing on the
home conditions of the men who work
in the Pittsburgh steel mills. The wit
ness was Miss Margaret F. Byington,
a social survey worker. 1t was found
that, with prices as they are, it is i'm
possible to maintain q normal stand
ard of living on less than SIS a week.
Yet IS per cent. of the employees Of
the Homestead plant are day laborers,
and are paid about $1,000 a week.
People live in crowded, half-furnished
rooms, windowless and unventilated,"
and there are sometimes as many as
fye persons in one o Many Of
these people are foreigners who know
little about what u protectionists
call the American standard of living.
1t certainly is not in accordance with
that standard that people should live
In quarters where the death rate is
double the normal, and where com
fort is impossible.
We protect the steel men in order
so they tell us-that they may pay
wages that will enable their workers
to live as Americans should live. 1t
can hardly be said that the bargain
is being kept. Men who get money
from the public on the theory that it
is to go largely to their employees
ought surely to be interested in i'm
proving the conditions under which
they live. But apparently it has not
been SO in this case. Attorney Reed,
who represents the trust before the
committee, said: Compared to the
ideal, well admit that these conditions
look bad. But compared to our com
petitors, they are better than the av-
erage,' If that is SO, the average is
certainly very low.
The committee had the pleasure of
listening to another witness, Charles
money out of steel, He said that un-
less the high duties were maintained,
he would regard as wasted the $685.
100000 which had recently been in
vested in his business. The present
tariff rates were, he insisted, "neces7
sary to the prosperity of the steel
business" Certainly that business, as
far as it's owners and promoters are
concerned, has been amazingly pros
porous. No one objects to It's pros
perity, but it does seem as though, in
view of the fact that the business is
subsidized, there ought to be a fair
err division. Senator Stone said, dur
ing the course of Schwab's testimony,
that Mr.. Carnegie had accumulated an
enormous fortune. Not" said
Schwab, half as much as he de-
served" How much do the workers
"~deserve?" That is a question Of con-
siderable importance. If Carnegie de-
serves his hundreds of millions we
should think that the men in the mills
deserved living wages and comfortable
homes. This is specially true in view
of the fact that all our people are
taxed to provide them with these
things. There would be less objec-
tion to protection If 1t were capital
lied In good wages rather than in wa
tered stock.

Utilizing Volcanoes.


Since the activity of volcanoes is
proof even against Legislation, why
should We not use the heat that they
generate for our own comfort? The
artificial warming of the world is one
of the greatest OF our modern prob
lens, and yet the earth is itself a vast
furnace whose flames are sometimes
aggressively active and destructive.
An experiment along these lines is
about to be tried at vesuvius. A boil
er is to be installed at some point
where the internal fires r accessi-
Bile, and hot water is to be piped to
the ~neighboring towns. Other vol
canic regions might try the same ex-
pedient, and perhaps the day is not
80 far distant when the coal merchant
can thus be taught a much needed
lesson in humility. To make avail
able the internal heat OF the earth
ought not to be a task to dismay our
modern engineers. It would certainly
be rash to deny Its possibilities.
