The Lyceum club Of London, O
fashionable w0man's organiza-
ton, has published i'm a recent
magazine q list of topics which
are to be discussed during the
year. Among them is the follow
ing:
Resolved, That the present
custom among women for the i'm
provement of the appearance has
a tendency towards insincerity
and the deterioration of the ma
tional truth"
II women should be converted
to the belief that 1t Is wrong to
wage this battle against Time and
that no effort should be made to
resist his ravages, what would
happen?
II nothing false, nothing fic-
titiOus, took the place of Natures
worn-out gifts and charms, first
of all, we would be dyspeptics.
\ The teeth--which Nature sup
plies are frequently the first of
the personal charms to go, and
nothing is more beautiful than
two rows of perfect teeth. and
nothing is more necessary to good
digestion. But If, as the Lyceum
club declares that artificial teeth
are destroying the sincerity OF
the race, and IL women believe
it, then we~will have to increase
our preparation of bottled food
for infants. and many a woman
on the sunny side of thirty will

have to go toothless through the
world and smile her old baby
smile through toothless gums
all In the interests of sincerity.
The switch and the cunning
bunch of curls and puffs tucked
under the pretty woman's hat
must be returned to the hair
dresser.
A 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 time, a man paraded
his long locks he promptly was
punished by a siren with a pair
of shears.
What is your idea of It?
Then there Is the complexion.
If Time begins to rob 1t of vital
ity's bloom, any attempt to re-
store its texture and revive its
radiance by the use of skin foods
and massage, vibration or subou-
taneous injections for building
up the normal system would be
wicked, according to this London
idea. Surely, this Is moment
GUS question.
Can beauty, then, be increased
by effort? Yes, and to . great
degree.
Can good looks be retained as
age advances or beyond middle
lief Decidedly yes. And much
can be done even by those who in
earlier years were thought ugly.

Are You Physically Fit to


Dear Miss Grey: 1 would
like your kind advice on u
matter that troubles me much.
started TO 20 with a
young man about two years
ago, and he has asked me to
marry him. While we have
been going together, he has
always treated me with high
est respect. He is "a and
am Fl.
Now, 1 heard a story about
him concerning his early life.
1 was told that when he was
quite young he was very wild
and bad, drank and went
with a very low woman, who
led him to wrong. 1 asked
him about this, and he said
il was true, but since he met
me he had been good, and
wanted to remain so. He says
he is ashamed that 1 should
know these things, and wants
to know IL it makes any diff
ference between us.
Miss Grey, 1 like him very
much, and want to help
him; but really don't know
what to do. 1 can forgive
him, for l have no right to
judge. Will you tell me what
you would do IL you were In
the same position?
Would like to see an an
swer to my letter ut an early
date. Thanking you so
much, l am,
JUST A GIRL.
A.-Without doubt the youns
man is deeply repentant, has re
formed, and will remain so; yet
there is another and more i'm
portant factor to be considered
when young people marry beside
1t is the possibility of littlt
children. II more precautior
were taken in this matter, there
would be fare less helpless little
cripples and blind children in this
world today.
If the young man is worthy OF
he will be willing tt
go to a first-class physician and
have a test made of his blood
This will be proof that his ole
life has left no dreg. Never
would I marry him until I saw
a written statement from a gooG
physician to the effect that he
was physically fit to marry.
BE as Wise as Serpent.
Dear Miss Grey: 1 have
been interested in your let
tiers, and have been giving a
great deal of attention to
them. Now, L would not
have you think me silly, for
/ am not. What I mean by
this Is / am not i'm the habit
of falling in love with every
young man whom 1 meet.
This is an unusual case
for me, as I am In love with
a young man very much,
and I am almost sure he Is
in love with me. have
heard several very unrespect-
full stories of him, and IL
seems everyone, who I meet
says something disrespectful
of him. He has always
showed great respect for me,
and the question is, should I
keep associating with him
and get a bad reputation, or
should L turn him down
when / have no reason?
What shall / do? Please an
swer as soon as possible.
BROWN-EYES.
A.-You cannot be too care
full. A man CD will sometimes
treat girl with the greatest re
spect, just to get a chance Il
kick her down hill.
On the other hand, thes,
stories may be exaggerated, o.
untrue, or the man may be try
ing his best to reform. In sucl
case, If you have a strong char
acter, you can be instrumental il
bringing about his reform.
You do not necessarily have t,
give him up, until you find on
the true circumstances of tn,
case. People with any sense will
not give you bad reputation i
you are trying to help the maj

PROTEST AGAINST THE DEMO
CRATIC TARIFF.

Every we'll informed and sane person
realized from the first that either a
Democrat or Republican would be
elected to Congress from this district,
and until near the close of the campaign
the chances seemed largely in favor of
the Democratic candidate. 1t was evil
dent also that if elected he would be
elected by the third party vote. Then
Wilson, the support of his auministra-
ton, and of the National Democratic
committee Never before, we believe,
in the history of this country has the
President personally, and with al the
power and resources at his command,
sought to influence the voters of single
Congressional district. 1t was not be-
cause of the desire to add another Dem
ocrat to the already large majority in
the House of representatives, not be-
cause of any special regard for the can
didate personally. The object was to Sc
cure an endorsement of the tariff policy
of the administration from section that
will be most seriously affected by the
pending measure. To secure this en-
dorsement the administration spared no
effort. Champ Clark, the Speaker of the
House, Bryan the Secretary of State,
and host of lesser orators, were sent
into the district; there was an unlimited
campaign fund, and every influence pos
sible was brought to bear. The defea t
of the Democratic candidate under these
circumstances attests alike the intelli-
gence and the integrity of the voters of
the Third Maine Congressional district.
They were "unawed by influence and I'M
bribed by gain" They were too we'll
in formed to be misled by the specious
arguments of campaign orators, and the
election of Hon. John A. Peters was
their protest against a tariff policy ruin
Gus alike to the farmer and the manu-
facturer.

CAMPAIGN TALK.

Evidently ''distance lends enchantment

Champ Clark, speaker of the National
House, an Office second only to the presi-
dency, spoke in Unity the other day and
those who went to hear him say that he
is no orator and that he evoked no en-
thusiasm. Last week exU. S. Senator
Beverage, whose coming had been wide
ly heralded, spoke from the pos toffice
steps to an audience of considerably less
than one hundred, mainly composed of
women ard children. He is an able and
effective speaker, but failed to draw an
audience or to elicit much applause. Sec
rotary of State Bryan, who spoke here
last Saturday, had big audience, due in
large part to curiosity to see and hear
man who has been in the limelight for
so many years and who as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president polled a
bigger vote than the present incumbent
of that office, who lacked more than one
million and a quarter of majority OF
the popular vote.

LAST STAND FOR BIRDS.
Americans Asked to Oppose few Feather
Men. Senate Struggle for Tariff Bird
Man.Millinets at Bay

Nidl-NlilllllSiS al Day
NEW YORK. Sept. 8, 1918. Charging
that not more than score of feather
dealing firms here form the sole interest
opposing the adoption by the Senate of
the House tariff bill amendment protect
ing wild birds from butchery for their
plumage, leaders of the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies have issued
from this city final call to all American
nature lovers to make a last stand
against these powerful commercial inter-
ests. That the senators have just re-
ferred back 20 their finance committee
the tariff amendment urged by the mil
hnery interests, prohibiting the importa-
ton of only few species Of their feath-
cred victims, is declared by the Audubon
workers to show some hope of its event
ual defeat. If the sportsmen, bird-lov-
ers and humanitarians of the whole coun-
try do not at once protest to their sena-
tors against the selfish struggle of these
milliners at Washington, it is predicted
their weak amendment and be free to
drive to extinction species after species
of the most useful and beautiful birds.
With stacks of letters and sheaves of
kilograms from constituents urging the
adoption of the original House bird pro-
tective amendment already piled on the
desk of every United States senator,
members of the senate who are ad-
vocating the defeat of the miiIiners
measure, have just written to the Audo
bon leaders that this demonstration of
popular sentiment to save the wild birds
exceeds any ever registered at Wash
ington. In cooperation with the New
York Geological Society, the Audubon
societies are sending thousands of ap-
peals to the bird protective, sportsmen's
and agricultural organizations of the en-
tire country for renewal of this popu-
lar protest that alone can check the de-
structive greed of the men who grow
rich by the massacre of plumage- bear
ing birds.
Unless the House tariff ban on de-
structive feather importation is adopted
by the senate unamended to suit few
feather firms in this city, pathological
experts declare that the most valuable
and slightly wild birds would be EXTERN
mated, species after species, as the MILL
| merry feather hunters pursued them to
! meet the demand of one fashion after an
other. Already new millinery vogue
that may mean the destruction of the
pheasant to supply its required plumage
is reported to have been instituted by
the feather dealers. In this way almost
any species of insect-eating American or
foreign bird may become ia shionably
feathered and hunted to death, it is
pointed out.

Secretary Bryan was given hearty
welcome in Maine last week "a welcome
due alike to his high official position and
to the prominent part he has played in
public affairs for many years. That
those of his political faith should pay
him homage is a matter of course; but
those Of different views recognize his
ability, believe in his integrity and sin

pleasant recollections of his visit to the
