There Are Myiads of Ways Clever Women Can Make Money
Without Ever Leaving and Determn
alton Are the Principal Assets In Any Line-Some
Suggestions That May Prove Worthy
ny DOLLY DALRyMPLE

Many letters come to the 'Woman,s
Department of this newspaper. touching
on the question of a woman making
money.
There seems to be no money in sewing,
many declare-at least none for the little
dressmaker' who must put her prices
down accordingly, yet there is money for
the woman who can make exquisite han
diwork on trousseaux and childrens
clothing, embroidering and rolling and
whipping
So
Also there may be little money for the
woman who starts to selling things out of
her garden, yet there is money for the
woman who, knowing the demand for
certain vegetables. cultivates what Is
wanted.
What do you think of woman making
money out of okra?
/, Is a vegetable which is seldom plenti-
full in the markets of birmingham, and
yet I'm told it may be successfully culti-
waited IN Alabama soil.
A story comes to me direct of woman
up in Connecticut who has made a won
derful success of growing okra.
She tells the story interestingly and
gives figures to prove it.

Il tried an experiment. said she, TO
see what weight that packing had to do
with the matter, by dividing half crop
and packing part of it up in careful
manner and tossing the other half in just
any old way. The market people at once
complained that the ol<ra was not as good
as usual, while 1t really was exactly ne
same, as you see how much depends upon
appearances
When asked about what prices were paid
for this vegetable, the lady in question
replied
Il got % cents basket for my olyra
and could have sold as much "a gain to Che
same market people. The pods send fresh
| to the market, however, was not the
whole. In crop of okra there are more
things than one marketable consideration,
for l used the leaves decocted for their
demulcent properties, and at the end u
the season sold the woody parts OF tho
plants to a paper making firm. for the
making of fine paper stock. When the
pods were misshapen or not full size.
dried them and used the seeds, roasted
and ground rs 6 substitute for coffee,
mixed with bit of chiclxory. It has very
much the flavor of coffee, and is quite nu-
| tritious."
while the vegetable is very tender,'' ths
lady advises, ''and 1t should never be per-
mtted to become woody. | always cut
| the pods at the psychological moraent
and they were Just fine. / preserved
| lot of olSra, too, by drying and Gaming
and I sold every lit that I preserved. and
| had enough left for my own use. In dr.
| ing. I sliced the pods across in querter
inch sections, and then spread them out
on platters and Hates, in the sun to dry,
day after day, until they were perfectly
crisp. Then they were put in jars and
kept in dry place For canning, | SLICED
the okra pod as for drying and boiled
them for 20 minutes. I then placed then,
in Jars and sealed them tightly. Both Of
these forms of preserving make excellent
okra. especially fer soups during the Will
ter season..
In conclusion the thrifty lady says:
I'm my study of okra, learned that the
nutrment properties of the vegetable ara
usually high. and that it is one of tho
most nourishing and wholesome of foods,
one that is not half appreciated. 1t con-
tains a very high per cent of digestible
matter and can easily be eaten by people
with weak stomachs and weak digestion
and many doctors have recommended II
when nothing else can be retained. 1t is
often recommended as a food to restore
the digestive organs

Sherman law, Representative CLAYTON,
chairman of the judiciary COMMITTEES,
said: IT have not had time to look into

slad that the supreme court has by its
decision strengthened the law and viEdi-
Gated the wiesdcm of Congress in retain

favor of course, of enacting such legis-
lation as is needed to fortify the Sher-
man act and to aid in accomplishing the
ends for which 1t was designed. The 5u-
dietary committee in investigating the
trust question will do so for the purpose
of framing and introducing remedial leg
islation to strengthen the Sherman act, II

Removes Necessity for Amendment

This latest decision upon the application
of the Sherman law is believed by many
to further remove the necessity fbr
amendment of that act. The supreme
court time after time has found the law
applicable and that it provides punish
ment to fit the crime" Efforts to break
it down have tailed repeatedly.
As a result of Mondays decision, how
ever, there may be necessity for the
further enlargements of the powers o. the
Interstate commerce commission. The
decisions in the state railroad cases de-
molshed the assumed authorlty OF the
states over certain features of interstate
commerce.
II il is found desirable to effect what
the states sought to accomplish in those
specific features, the states may appeal
TO Congress to vest the authority IN the
interstate commerce commission III cases
where it may not lie there now.

Has Been Noted Question

For some time it has been serious
question in the minds of many of the
democratic leaders, whether or not the
Sherman antitrust law was in itself ade-
quate to meet the demands for trust rcs-
ulation and punishment, for the deliberate
combinations made to hold up the people
with exorbtant prices made effective by
'cornering" commodities. The decision
of the supreme court, therefore, is re-
garded as coming at a fortunate time
In the closing days of the last session
of Congress the judiciary committee of
the House had before it the question OF
an investigation of the beef trust and
other trusts. The committee did not so
into these questions very much, beng
compelled to postpone the consideration
of them on account of the Archibald i'm
peachment proceedings. but they are
questions wsfich will doubtless demand
the attention of the committee at an early

SLEEP MAY BE HARMFUL.
Some Brainy Men Go Without it,
While Others Must Have it.

Boston Herald.
Whether sleep is habit or a neces-
sity might be considered strange
question to most persons who regard
sleep as a solace and a recuperative
force. Yet there are physicians who
not only doubt the value Of sleep, but
maintain that fatigue, overexertion
and the other tense excitement Of the
day can be neutralized and cured by
merely resting in a reclining position
for seven or eight hours in darken-
ed room or at night. These same doc
tors mold that the sweetness, content
ment and freedom from that tired
feeling" that follows sleep is conse-
quent to the sleep, true enough, but
not the result of sleep.
Rest and placing yourself in the
supine position with the eyes closed
is just as restorative as a sound sleep,
according to them Thomas Edison
AYERS that sleep is the cause Of the
backwardness of the earth's inhabi-
tants. He asserts that there has been
more time wasted by the human race
in sleep than in the profigate expen-
diture of rakes and roustabouts.
e.Sleep is bad habit" is his dictum,
and Gus Lieblich, a gentleman who
has not slept for 25 years, corrobor-
ates Edison's belief, despite the we'll
established experiments of the labora-
tory that animals die if not allowed to
fall asleep.
