but the old three-cornered hat,
And the breeches and all that
Are so queer
A garment for men extending on each
leg separately to or just below the knee
is the accepted dehnition OF breeches Ia
most cases this garment is not handsome;
1t is hard to keep in shape and il bags
horribly. Man has conquered the sea and
the earth, harnessed the lightning, count
ed the stars and hitched the forces of na-
ture to his mills and his wagons, but in the
matter OF breeches his only progress is in
two hip pockets, which he seldom uses.
With all his inventive genius he cannot
find crease that win stay put, and with
all his growing billions he cannot buy or
invent substitute that will be an i'm
provement.
Ii Ia inconceivabls that women will want
to subject themselves to the tyranny of
this garment. II is not graceful; it will
not allow them opportunities for new
styles. and Il will rob them of the inde-
Unable charm that goes with their own
distinctive dress. OF course, almost any
thing would be better than some OF The
present fashions, but why not reform
them? Or why not bear the ills they have
than fly to others they know not of? Man
was in hard luck when fate put him in
trousers, but he deserved his punishment
SO II would seem 20 be better for the ladies
to punish him further by leaving him to
his doom.

of the Mexican virgin. Owing to the long
distances over which many of the pilgrims
are compelled to make their way on foot.

JAPANESE RULES OF LIFE.
"Be MARRIED." Is One of Ten Royal
Hints to the People.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Japanese government has printed
in circular form and distributed among
It's people the following rules for guidance
In matters relating to health:
Spend as much time out OF doors as
possible. Bask much In the sun and take
plenty Of exercise Take good care that
your respiration Is always deep and regu-
lar
"As regards meals. eat meat only once
a day and let the diet be eggs, cereals
and vegetables. fruits and fresh cows
milk Take the last-named as much as
possible. Masticate your food carefully.
Take a hot bath every day and a steam
bath once or twice a week II the heart Is
strong enough to bear It.
Early to bed and early to rise.
Sleep In a very dark and very quiet
room. with windows open. Let the mini
mum of sleeping hours to six or six and
one-half hours. In case OF woman eight
and one-half hours is advisable.
Take one day Of absolute rest each
week in which you must refrain from
even reading or writing.
TRY to avoid any outbursts OF pas
sion and strong mental stimulations. Do
not tax your brain at the occurrence Of
Inevitable Incidents or OF coming events
Do not say unpleasant things nor listen,
II possible to avoid 1t, to disagreeable
things.
BE married. Widows . and widowers

ECONOMY, NOT REVENUE.
,ondon Correspoudcnce Chicago Tribune.


Frank B. Kellogg Of trust breaking
of the ratification by the requisite num-
ber of States of the income tax amend
ment to the Constitution, said:
II have seen the statement that the
constitutional amendment authorizing
an income tax has finally been adopted
by the requisite number OF States. OF
course, 1t is well enough for Congress
to be given the power to levy an in
come tax in case of necessity on the
part Of the government. but what Con-
gress should now, do is to institute a
system OF public economy rather than
hunt for new forms of taxation.
THE country has had such enormous
revenues during the years Of expansion
that we have spent them with a prodi-
gal hand and our administration, both
national and State, is extravagant.
II believe in the principle Of an in
come tax. but there are some objec-
tions to the Federal government i'm
posing one. except as a necessity to
raise revenue in times Of extraordinary
need. The principal objections is that
the States may and ought to be per-
mitted to levy the same kind Of a tax,
thus making double taxation"
A story is in circulation in London
as to Mr.. Kellogg's retort when told
that President Taft would not consider
him as suitable for a Justice of the
United States Supreme Court. because
he was too impetuous and because he
did not have the legal poise. Mr.. KeI-
logg. who weighs 40 pounds, answer
ed:
President Taft does not mean legal
poise: he means avotrdupois,"

Dangerous Golf Balls,

From the New York Times
II was very much surprised to see the
matter Of fluid core golf balls treated
in a more or less jocular manner by the
Times. says a physicians writing to that
paper. This has been a subject Of great
interest and seriousness to me, but es-
pecially serious to one OF my little pa
tients. who has entirely lost the sight
Of one eye as the result of the explosion
Of one Of these balls. Another case of
mine was severely burned. but recovered
practical vision. I have knowledge of a
case in Orange, N. j.. recently reported,
which with four cases reported in a re-
cent issue Of the Journal of Ophthal-
mology and Oto-Laryngology, make a
total of seven cases of severe burn of
the eye from this cause in the last year.
In two Of these blindness resulted. It is
g question whether legal action can be
taken to, prevent the manufacture of
these dangerous balls. but parents can
warn their children against disseeting
such balls. and golfers might refuss to
use them,y.

Why Hunger Affects Brain.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Everybody Is acquainted with the dull.
heavy headache that accompanies an
empty stomach. Frequently, when a meal
is skipped owing to stress of business or
some other unavoidable cause the only
feeling OF discomfort experienced is q
headache.
Prof. rafael Paladino has made some
Interesting experiments with animals
which would prove that this feeling Is oc-
casioned by increasing pressure on the
brain. The substances which are con-
tained in brain tissue are very different
from the elements which build I'd the
rest Of the body, and many OF them, such
as lecithin, are soluble in ether, but not
In water.
Prof. Paladino's experiments with doKs
who were killed after ten-day fast
shows that the ether contained in the
brain dtminishes with every day OF the
fast. while the water contained In the
brain increases proportionately as the
ether decreases. Now the specific gravity
OF ether Is little more than two-thirds
OF water, SO that the brain actually in
creases In weight when its owner Is hun
cry. Moreover. 1t Is probable that some
Of the substances which are soluble in
ether. but not In water, are segreRa,ed
when the ether diminishes instead of be-
Ing held In solution. which would cause
additional discomfort
The experiments conducted BY Prof.
Paladino were particularly difIcuie be-
cause he was forced to deal with approx
mate. not identical. values, for in order
to establish what changes occurred in
the brain of q fasting animal, as distin-
Sufshed from a normal animal, It was
necessary to kill both normal and fasting
animal. The great italian scientist ex.
poets to make further experiments along
the same line.

This feature has particular advan-

In talking of the automobile business
in general and the manufacture OF the
Packard in particular, Samuel A. Lut-
trelI. Of the I.uttrell Company. local
agents for the Packard Company. said
yesterday:
In the very beginning We felt that we
were in a good business with good
future. We saw in the automobile some
thing that was to be a lasting factor in
the worlds commerce. We saw the signs
OF permanency. as well as progress. in
the evidences of a new era in traffic.
I'VE saw that type Of car had to be
selected and designed: that it had to be
tried out: that II had to be made prac-
tical and as nearly perfect as our ex-
perience ingenuity. and skill could make
ii. We saw that this car had to be back
ed by definite, firm, and fair business
methods. We saw that our business
like any other permanently successful
business, had to be based on the one
very simple and logical foundation Of
a square deal for everybody.
We found a selling condition prevail
ing which did not entirely fit in with our
plans. and We made it our business to
let our organizing comprehend our deal

From tho New Yat World.
A motorcar service especially for un-
escorted women has been established in
New York by Mrs. Alice z. waxhsm-
At present there are five cars in the
service and they are all driven by wom-
en-. These cars are run only between
s o'clock IN the morning and 8 In tho
evening.
For several years before she estab-
lished this service, Mrs. waxham was
the driver OF her own car. When II
became necessary for her to add to her
income she turned the car that had once
been her recreation into a business and
now she and her assistants drive five
electric cars.
Within a year four cars have been
added to the original coupe. and now
Mrs. Waxham is kept too busy manag-
ing the business to do much driving her
self. The demand by women for women
drivers has grown so that at present
twelve other girls are studying to be-
como chauffeurs
II believe that the time has arrived
for women to take up this work that
has heretofore been left TO men," Mrs.
Waxham said. II am convinced that
there Is demand for such service from
young Intelligent. pleasing women. and

prove more satisfactory
New York Is n great big lonesome
place for many women. Many even OF
those who have lived here for years have
few friends and would enjoy having a
shopping or driving companion. This We
supply, and many, especially those liv-
ing In the big hotels or visitors from

OF II. Frequently the young women who
drive these electric machines are busy
from morning until evening.
In the year that We have been driv-
ing these cars not a single accident has
been reported. The cars are driven at a
rational. comfortable speed, and colIi-
sions with other vehicles or pedestrians
are unknown to us. The reports of the
National Highways Protective Associa-
ton. attribute the majority of accidents
to the 10y rider or a driver under the
influence OF liquor. Such things do not
occur when women driven for women.
Il do not favor women driving for
men-a public taxicab stand conducted
by women-though such conditions do
exist in some European cities. But
should the custom be established here
I am certain that women would make
at least as good drivers as men.
The young women who are driving
in this service are regularly licensed.
They understand the mechanism OF the
cars and are prepared for all emergen-
cies. And the work conduces to health.
The drivers are continually out in the
air. Nerves are not known to my four
young drivers, and they are the pictures
