The department Of agriculture has
made an important change in the form
for issuing notices

suit of actions UNI

ter the headings of these notices will
show at a glance whether the govern.
ment won It's suit or the defendant
manufacturer was acquitted. This
change results from the fact that the
department has discovered that sales
men have used these notices in the
old form to prejudice customer
against a competitors goods even
where the competitor has been acquit
ted This was possible with the old
form, because 1t was frequently neces-
sary to real the entnre notice OF judg-
ment In order to learn whether PEN
atty had been entered or the defend
ant acquitted. Many persons did not
take the time or trouble to read the
notice. and in many cases took 1t for
granted that a notice Of Judgment
meant In each instance that the gov
eminent had won, and that to sell the
defendants product would be to vio-

BETTER EDUCATION FOR BUsI.
NESS.

Considering how many college men
go into business. il often seems sim
gular that more of the colleges do
not specialize on scientific business
training. The New York Chamber
of Commerce was informed a few
days ago by Mortimer L. Schiff that
100000 had been offered to found
a college of commerce. Here is one
indication that business men feel
that this gap in our educational sys-
TEN should be filled.
When a college fellow spends four
years in studying the literature of
the ages. and spends the rest of his
life tending a ribbon counter in a
dry goods store. the tools and the
man don't fit. Callings like this are
very honorable and necessary. But
when a man has set out to be a col
lege professor or a lawyer, and ends
up with operating a street car, there
is a discrepancy between his mental
experience and his physical surround
ings that makes him disgruntled and
discouraged.
The average college man is called
a nuisance around a business house
for year or two. He should have
acquired certain regular habits of
and should know some
thing about the social, literary and
spiritual experience of the race. This
makes him a more interesting man.
But in the technique of trade he is
distaneed by the office boy, which
makes his early years of work pc
culiarly difficult.
Certain principles underlie busi-
ness which one must learn to achieve
success. a man might labor ten
years before blundering on them.
One regular period during senior
year could give fair idea of them.
1t seems cruelty to children to turn
a bachelor of arts into the business
world without giving him some no
tion how to apply principles like sci
entific efficiency, psychology of sales
methods of advertising and
cost finding.

including skirts, nightgowns and all
under-garments are offered In the
most exclusive stores.
These garments are specially in
vogue for European trips, but there
is no reason why the busy housewife
should not use them, too.
When the sweet smell of the SUM-
mer sun can be left in the sheets
there are some sensible women who,
prefer them unironed, or with merely
the hem and outer fold pressed.
To many, the ribbed underwear
and stockings are only spoiled by the
iron and stretched out of shape. A
careful folding is much better
Ribbed union suits, worn all the
year, dispense with several starched

KEEPING CHICKENS.

Probably il a vote could be taken
as to what constitutes the most popu-
lar breakfast, bacon and eggs would
win. Some of the intellectuals might
possibly prefer fish balls. But for
the solid background of the average
workingman's day, can you beat ba-
con and eggs?
So the present price of hen fruit,
breaking all previous records, is a
national calamity. 1t seems inevit-
able when you learn that egg produc-
tion increased but % per cent in ten
years. Considering how much rich
egg-laden foods are used, how much
eggs are put into soft drinks, con-
sumption may have doubled or
tripled.
Keeping a little family stock of
hens was comparatively simple for
merly. Any old dry goods box COW
cred with tar paper would do, and
the hens roasted in the open shed or
the family carryall. Now there are
concrete floors, hot water fountains,
matched boards, glass and muslin
screens. An enthusiastic poultry
keeper spends money this way much
more freely than for parlor furnish
ings. But all this elaboration dis
courap gas the nOvica
Formerly boy was not considered
tC pass through the normal stages of
early masculine existence unless he
had a case of hen fever. The cack-
ling birds were more or less of
nuisance, scratching holes in the
lawns. They never felt quite happy
unless they were roofing around your
neighbor's land. and they were the
source of much friction. But they
did keep down the price of eggs, and
the workingman could have his ideal
breakfast
One trouble seems to be that the
wild hen ancestor of our common va
rieties never used to lay but about
an egg a month, and now her de-
scendant is supposed to produce 200
a year. But she is accessible to per-
suasion. The Modern Boy must be
shy on enterprise, or he would not
slip these opportunities at so cents a
dozen.

a man down east boasts OF having
lived 100 years by practicing sleep
ing twelve hours a day for a long
period. There are plenty of persons
who cannot sleep twelve hours out
of the twenty-four; there are many
more who don't want to pass one
half of their lives in bed. Sleep is
good thing, but too much of it
must be tiresome; besides there's not
much in it. A little activity is bet
ter. Who wants to live 100 years,
anyway? Come down to brass tacks,
whose life is so productive of good
to humanity that it is worth while
to have him sticking around for the
tiresome period of 100 years? There
are a world of responsibilities at
taching to 100 years of continuous
living. Too many of us don't realize
them, but they are upon us every day.
To live up to the limit of these re-
sponsibilities will wear out the aver
age man in half of the 100 years.

THE POLITICS. THAT PAYS.

Stilwell. the Tammany senator in
Sing Sing for croOkedness. says:
Keep out of politics There's
nothing in it. If a fellow would
devote half the energy to his busi-
ness he would make a better sue
cess
He's right, from the point of view
of the kind of politics he's familiar
with-the politics of grab and graft.
Happily, that isn't the only kind
Suppose that Stilwell. instead OF
aping the Tammany ways, had gone
into politics as Wilson did-gone in
10 have the fun of helping to do
something clean and fine; gone in
with a real delight in pulling an oar
toward better things.
Do you think for a minute he
would ever have landed in Sing Sing
or that he wouldn't have found it, in
spite OF its iisappointments, the
most interesting and stimulating vo-
cation in the world2
The whole trouble with Stilwell's
conception of politics was that it was
politics for Stilwell. And Stilwell
wasn't worth it.
Whenever you find a fellow who
is in politics for what he can get out
of it, look out. He's only a porch
climber. He may climb higher than
the second story, but he'll always
have the instincts of a burglar.
The Stilwell school of politics gets
tiresome. After election folks like
to forget it. And no wonder, because
by election time it makes them all
hold their noses.
But the other kind, the Wilson
kind. the politics of human service, it
never grows wearisome-the more of
il you have the more you want.
Indeed, that's pretty good test
to apply to a political proposition
the test of the day after election.
II it sickens and disgusts you, il
you want never to hear of it again,
make up your mind it is of the bur-
giarious brand, seeking of personal
profit under false pretenses.
But if it still brings a thrill; if
you have no let-up in the before-elec-
ton enthusiasm; if you still want to
cheer and tell your neighbor about
it. then it's the real article, the new
er politics. the politics of humanity
What pity so many old line poll
tieians-who aren't at heart bad fell
lows. who're merely the victims of a
poor upbringing-must in the COM
ing years learn the game all over
again or, because of ignorance, deco
rate the discard.
A pity, we mean, for them, viewing
them personally.
Not a pity for the public-not by

It is more than a century since a

but one was sentenced in New
Haven to pay the extreme penalty
only the other day. No woman has

are plenty of states in which no
woman was exer executed, but they
are not New England states. Mas

enough, but the most of them were

more women have been executed for
religious offenses than because of
actual crime. Either way il is a

Recipe for Cooking Husbands.


To the Newlyweds: A good many
husbands are spoiled by mismanage-
ment. Some women go about it as
though their husbands were bladders
and blow them up. then keep them
constantly in hot water. Others let
them freeze by their carelessness and
indifference. Some keep them in a
stew by irritating ways and words.
others roast them. Some keep them
IN pickle all their lives. 1t cannot
be supposed that any husband will
be tender and good managed in this
way, but they are really delicious
when property treated. In selecting
your husband you should not be
guided by the silvery appearance as
IN buying a mackerel, nor by golden
tint as if you want a salmon. Be
sure to select him yourself, as tastes
differ. Do not go to market for him,
as the best one is brought to your
door. 1t is far better to have none
unless you will patiently learn how
to cook him. A preserving kettle of
the finest porcelain is best, but if
you have nothing but an earthen pip
kin it will do with care. See that
the linen in which you wrap him is
nicely washed and mended, with the
required number of buttons and
strings tightly sewed on. Tie him
in the kettle with a strong silk cord
called comfort, as the one called duty
is apt to become week. Make a clear.
steady fire out of love, neatness and
cheerfulness, set him as near this
as seems to agree with him. If he
sputters and fizzes do not become
anxious. Some husbands do this un-
til they are quite done. Add a little
sugar in the form which confection-
ers call kisses, but no vinegar or pep
per on any account. A little spice
improves him, but it must be used
with judgment. Do not stick any
sharp instrument into him, to see if
he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently. Watch the while lest he lie
to flat and close to the kettle and so
become useless. You cannot fail to
know when he is done. If thus
treated you will find him very rel
ishable, agreeing nicely with you and
the children, and he will keep as long
as you want, unless you become care
less and let him sit in too cold
place.-Contributed.
