FRANCES GOOD IDEA.
Municipal Employment Bureau to 30
Tried In Paris.

Tried In Paris.
The French government passed law
in 1904 authorizing the establishment
Of free municipal employment bureaus
Nothing was done about the matter
until last year. when the minister Of
labor aroused new interest in the es-
tablishment Of these bureaus. which
had been worked out so successfully in
Germany. Belgium. Switzerland. etc.
He invited the projects to consider the
matter. and the prefect of the Seine
has been instructed to present definite
plans to the municipal council for the
establishment Of such bureau in one
Of the districts Of Paris.
The plan is to conduct the bureau on
very democratic lines. to have it con-
trolled by a commission composed Of
the workmen and employers and pre-
sided over by man Of special qualifi
cations.

There is nothing more discouraging
than chronic disorder of the stomach.

for years with such an ailment when
a permanent cure is within their reach

Why Don't You Bring Art Your
Aid When Natu,e Pyv7es UNkind

The Lyceum club OF London,
fashionable woman's organization. has
published In a recent magazine a liz
Of topics which are to be discussed
during the year Among them is the
following:
Resolved That the present Gus
tom among women for the improve
ment OF the appearance has
tendency towards insincerity and the
deterioration OF the national truth.
II women should be converted 10
the belief that II is wrong to wage
this battle against Time and that no
effort should be made to resist his
ravases. what would happen?
II nothing false. nothing fictitious,
took the place Of natures WORKOUT
gifts and charms. first OF all, we
would be dyspeptics.
The teeth which nature supplies
are frequently the first OF the per
sonal charms 10 go, aud nothing Is
more beautiful than two rows OF per-
feet teeth, and nothing is more neces-
sary TO good digestion. But IL. as
the Lyceum club declares that arti-
hcial teeth arc destroying the SIN
cerity OF the race. and X women be-
lieve II. then We will have to increase
our preparation OF bottled food for
infants, and many a woman on the
sunny side OF 30 will have to go
toothless through the world and
smile her old baby smile through
toothless gums-all In the interests
of sincerity.

or whatever It may be. with tin

false appliances is helping the race

but the truth would demand that eye

London Lyceum.

this club goes TO the root OF things.
II asks: Does it grow or is It pinned

have made Helen OF Troy fright.
bald man is never handsome, but
he may be fascinating. Even the
bible never said that a mans glory
was In his hair. and when, once upon
