HIKING 10 REDUCE WEIGHT.

We are told that down with the avcirdupois" is resounding through the white mountains. and that the big eaters are taking long walks to reduce their flesh Taking long walks in July to overcome the effects of hearty din ners never was inviting and never will be- The fact is there was never any thing entrancing about forcing off flesh from our bones. whether it is done by the use of anti-fat, by taking long walks. by reduced rations. or by actual starvation. for nature has only fixed pleasuraole methods for putting the fat on A brisk. constitutional walk of i've or six miles to check the eff feet of hearty eating makes portly gen tlemen and waddling ladies gasp at the very thought of it. Mountain climbing may be a fine way to get lean. but fat people who cannot go up a flight of stairs without wheezing do not .ake kindly to 1t even if the noun tain is furnished free. One of the fin est flesh reducers is plain living and q curbed appetite. The world stil1 be iieves fin feasting more than it does in fasting or self control.

DANGER OF SHOWER BATHS.

During these hot summer days, when one feels like following the eX- ample of the ancient Romans, by spending ones time continually i'm mersed in the delights of the water, whether in the homely bathtub of the city dwelling, at the week end vaca- tion by the sea, or meath the cooling breezes of the mountain, one bit of information vouched for by an emi- nent authority, is bound to fill us all with anxiety, particularly the male portion of our population.
 And that is avoid the shower baths, if you wish to keep your hair. For it is to the constant use of these baths that much of the annoyance occasion ed by falling hair during the summer is attributable. Most men are given over to the practice of the shower bath, and hence the increase of wor- ,ried minds in connection with hirsute loss, and the consequent bangs of bald discomfort at this time of the year.
 Even if the users of the shower baths do not have it regularly set up over the tub, they have a tube attach ed to the faucet with a nozzle. This they use over the head two or three times daily.
 The specialists say that deteriera- tion of the hair is largely due to this practice, and that, as a result, falling hair and dandruff are sure to annoy the user A shower bath, they add, should never be allowed to fall on the hair; for it is quite easy to slip on an eilskin cap.

MAKE THE INDIAN A CITIZEN.

Ut is a new doctrine for a congress- man to demand that the Indian bureaus should be abolished and the policy of the government be changed so that the Indian may become a man instead of a ward.
 There is no reason why the Indian should be subjected to eternal guar dianship any more than the negro, The idea that Indians cannot be civilized is a false notion. We know that rep resentatives of the old New England tribes make good citizens.
 The old idea that the aborigines are dying race is exploded by the fact that there are quarter of a million Indians in the west, and that their number is constantly increasing. The way New England's aborigines have disappeared is by inter- marriage with the whites; and the Indians of the great west in freedom are likely to be merged in other races. Attention is being called to the fact that one of our congressman has had two full blooded Indian women for his wives, which shows that the mixture of races is not so rare as many people imagine.
 Thrown upon their own resources there is no doubt the Indians are cap able of taking care of themselves and taking part in the affairs of the na- tion.

THE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

The opinion of Ambassador Wilson as to the duty Of the administration in its relation 70 Mexico cannot be very pleasing to the president. He Is reported to have said that the only open doors to Uncle Sam are recog- hilton of the Huerta government, or intervention. and ft is plain enough that President Wilson has not wanted to do either. The statement that the present course of the administration is pe-ilous needs no argument in its support. for webbing is never less than A sign of weakness. If these are the only two horns to the situation, recognition appears to be the easiest way out. since ft is comparatively in expensive This government has TO use for Mexico. and it's relation should be that of a good. Christian neighbor IL may be better to give President Huerta and his government 8 hand kerchief salute than 10 assault him and his people with great guns The government would badly invest a mil lion a day just to make a demon stration of strength. The Mexican and the bronco have wild traits. We have acquainted them with our skill and it is not necessary to repeat the exhibition.

THE GAZE OF THE COUNTRY
 BOW

The boys of the city look toward the country with a keen desire to get closer to nature for purposes of re- creation, but the country boy walking in the furrow behind the blow, or trudging behind the cultivator, or kill ing weeds with a hoe gazes yearninFly toward the glaring city lights at night and dreams that is where opportunity. fortune and happiness are awaiting him. never dreaming that the city boy whose work and wage and opportu- nifty he desires is railing at fate be- cause of the narrowness of his horizon and the nerve -racking character of his work Neither one of them realizes that it is not a change of places as much as a change of spirit which they need-''the contented man is never poor, the discontented man never rich.'' Some of the ablest men the world has ever known trudged behind the blow and some of the most shiftless rep resent the dregs of city life. The country hoy or the city boy should not look at the other fellow and yearn, but keep their minds on their own work and grow. It Is not the occupation or the atmosphere that make men nobie or rich. but character and strength we'll applied.

THE CRUSH GIRDLE.

Crush girdles fully eight inches broad showing between the open fronts of tailored jackets, are of satin matching the shade of the suit, em- broidered with floss or soutache of the same color as the waistcoat, col lar and cuffs. or of the trimming on the hat. The embroidery, making an inch-wide bordering defining both edges of the belt and appearing as tiny motifs or medallions scattered over the rest of the material, draws attention to the waist line, while the excessive width of belt helps to em- phasize the wide-Waisted, narrow hipped effect of the figure It is far more chic looking than is the ordinary belt for it indicates the waist line without actually defining it, and it is indefinitely more becoming to a stout woman than is the raised skirt belt Moreover, 1t Is one of those minor de- tails which marks the street costume as unusual. and to look different" which, being interpreted, means mot like the mob." is the aim of every fashionable woman.

A SHORTAGE OF PIGS.

The shortage of pork products ex- cited this country last year: but this year Great Britain is having excite ment because of the shortage of pork and all pork products. and finding that she could not rely on this country to supply her markets she has appealed to Siberia. Australia, and even China, to come to her relief
 At a recent convention of the Gro- cers associations in London. delegates from many parts of the country ex- pressed the opinion that the remark able decline in British pig-breeding was a direct outcome of the restrictions imposed by the board of agriculture upon pig breeders and keepers, and regulations as to the movement of healthy swine were condemned as spe- cfaily ridiculous.
 Instances were quoted of districts near Bir1ufngham where the number of pig keepers had declined from fifty 70 two. and fin Durham and various rsarra of Wales where the miners. who previously kept considerable numbers had given mp the practice altogether
 resolution was eventually passed expressing alarm at the enormous de- crease in the supply of home grown pirs. requesting the board of agricul- fure Co relax the over-stringent reg ula4ione for pig breeders and keepers, and iuipressing upon county councils and agrscultural societies the deslra- hiIitw of fostering the British pig breeding industry.
 There is q good demand for pork and pork products on this side of the globe.

KEEP HANDS WHITE.

Use a soap rich in oil and contain ing no alkali to crack and harden the skin. Castle soap is good, but there are other good soaps that are just as suitable. After the hands have been cleansed and thoroughly rinsed @ lather made from the soap should be rubbed into the hands and wrists. Continue the rubbing until all the lather has been absorbed or there is very little to wipe away. The oil feeds the skin, keeps it soft and prevents the shriveled appearance and feeling which comes, especially to hands that are kept for long periods in hot water. Hands thus treated are soft and white. Ii is important to remember that the lather which is rubbed in is not the lather with which the hands are cleansed. but a fresh lather, made af- ter the cleansing has been eompIeted.

BATHING CHILDREN.

Some children are timid about ven turing into a bathtub. Often the fright comes from being plunged bodily into water that is either too cold or too hot Sometimes this plunge is acci- dental One mother has solved the problem by laying a large Turkish towel in the tub and providing a small stool on which the child can sit part of the time. This is convenient when a little girl is having her hair washed. Instead of filling the tub with water, put in but a little. The use of the bath towel to prevent slipping is also suggested for elderly persons, especi- ally if you do not have a gum mat for this nllrpOSa
