The "Iron ore.sv Chief offense

The editor of Iron Ore" in future periods of political excitement will probably devote the columns of his journal exclusively matters pertaining to the iron trade which abounds in the vicinity of Ish- peming Mich. He was guilty of an offense which ID reputable newspaper in the country dared com init However bitterly it may been opposing Colonel Roosevelt, paper could have kept it's self respect and its clientele publication of such a libel.
 Even if the editor of Iron ore believed the story to be il dastardIy act to publish it But the story had been amply refuteI by Dr. Lyman Abbott William Loeb Jr, and others who were in tmately familiar with daily life of Colonel Roose- welt.
 The publication could possibly injure the man 1t was intended to injure Here was the harm: Colonel Roosevelt then, he had been for years and as he is now, the most popular man in the country He was especially of the youth of the land. Persons of mature age and reasonable judgment would be unaffected by the publication They would have set against it the remarkable achievements of Colonel Roosevelt covering the whole period of his public life. Such a man as the pub lcation described could never have accomplished those achievements.
 But the immature youth country would have been affected. They would seen their idol m different and to many of them, not necessarily not less aIlurng light They would have as greatly admired the conception Colonel Roosevelt. For this reason, the publication is to be chiefly con demned.

Where Nationality Didn't Count

is the proud understanding of the people of all nations, Americans well, that a given number of their citizens whip almost multiple of the citizens any other nation. We would be good patriots did feel that way, good patriots are often mistaken.
 Last week five American citizens and Arizonans ut that. them presumably fighters, they been for the periIous occupation in which they were engaged, that of cattle rustling, raided the Mexican border They were heavily armed, pared eventualities.
 They encountered ten Mexican cowboys, and when the smoke battle cleared away two of the Americans were dead two in flight wounded and one escaped Seven horses and the Q rustlers left in possession of the vic torious enemy.
 It may be that odds one, in q conflict between Americans and MeXicans, are great this only six of the MeXicans were armed 50 the other four took in the bat te though their presence may have had depress- ing effect upon the American invaders

Do you remember my saying that an occasional steam bat1nl or hot ap- plication would be good for your skin Please note, however, that say ''oc- castonaI.' If indu1ged in to any great extent, wrinkles win be the outcome. However, when you do do it, here are few hints
 In steaming, try putting peroxide or dioxogen in the water. It acts as a sort of bleach and treats your skin very mildly.
 | A nice way to acquire that elusive scent that adds so much to your skin, l is to put enough good toilet water in the steaming bowl to odorize it. The fragrance will be very subtle and all turing.
 l A nice hot application treatment is made of two parts butternilk and one 1 part water, heated very hot and ap- piled on clothes.
 A little lemon juice in the hot wa ter2wiH often work wonders. If your skin is very dry, a rather ex- pens1ve-and must confess, not aI- ways enective-treatment is a simple variation of the hot oil treatmen This necessitates about quart of olive oil heated very hot. The hair is wrap ped in towels, and towels are placed l around tn basin so that when the face is lowered the towels keep all the cold
 air from it. Of course, the oil can | be used repeatedly, and the heating does not spoil it for massage purposes
 Always remember to protect the
 eyes while steaming the face or apply ing hot congresses. Do this by small pads of cool water placed over them.
 None of these external aids will work a cure, however. If your com
 plexion is bad, you must look deeper than the skin. There is som nethlng
 Fundamentally wrong with your sys- tenn, and no amount of steaming, mas
 saging or treating can aid you. It

REMBRANDT STYLES IN
 THE SEASONS MILLINERY

According to great French fashion critic, the new hat is the only sensi7 b1e thing, also the only trueIy artistic, in the overwhelming maze of new fall fashions presented to us by Paris As matter of fact, the almost classical simplicity of the outlines of the new millinery designs and the dark, rich tones employed in their materials are doubIy effective and restful when con- rasted with the eccentric cut and style Of the new gowns, the exotic draperies and the handsome but decidedly bi- zarre new mantles and wraps Black velvet is the chosen fabric of the hour, and for demi-saison hats Is used more prominently than ever This includes the plain as we'll as the panne and mirror varieties, quantities of which are employed in the making of the new hat, toque and beretta models
 Hats in Rembrandt style are having all the prominence we predicted for them, and which their beauty of out line fully merits. The Rembrandt. be- retta is a particular fa,yorite just at present: this style is featured in count less variations and adaptations, teith- CT softly draped, or else showing a flat, circular top section, which, how ever, is usually given height by a fit ted bandeau. Many hats with fiat crowns are finished with a soft, puffy friu of velvet, thereby assuming the artistic Rembrandt note so popular at the moment.
 A decided novelty in talns, also rem fniscent of the Rembrandt epoch, Pshows. a bold flare at one side (usual- ly the left) which is emphasized by a touffe of plunage or some other tall garniture. The remaining, mar row sides are either flat, or droop, in marked contrast with the haring side. Berettas stimulating those worn by the students and artists of the Paris Latin Quarter are also seen in abundance; the same applies to fiat caps a Ia Richard Wagner and efab- orately sdraped Francois styles, all of which profit by the prevailing ten dency for eberettas-4
 The. extremely sTnall-sized hat is not represented among the new Fall mod 1 els, nor is the other extreme; in con sequence, the shapes appear wel-baI- anced and sp1ehdidIy proportioned, which, plus excellent outlines and harmonious trimmings, results in most artistic-Iooking hats.-The Illus trated AilIiner, New York.

WHY ARE SOME CHILDREN CROSS-EYED?

The general public has many false ideas concerning this unsightfy defect and consequently many parents are prone to neglect it because of the hope or the belief that the child will 'out- grow it.''
 Were the real cause and the conse- uence of neglect of this condition more generally known and accepted, great benefit might result to many unfortu- nate children and their lives made happier It is not generally known that in the majority of squinting eyes, blindness results to greater or less degree unless early attention be given them.
 The primary cause in most children who have this defect is the lack of the power of combining the images seen by the two eyes into one. This faculty has been lost or has not been developed with the growth of the child. Its development may have been interfered with by a difference in the two eyes, oen being far-sighted, the other near-sighted, or there may be other differences which interfered with harmonious action. The child cannot focus both eyes on an object at the same time, so in order to avoid the discomfort or strain of effort, the
 weaker eye gives up and crosses in or der to avoid the embarrassment of double vision, which would otherwise occur.
 Soon this habit becomes fixed, and permanent squint is brought about. 1 The equinting eye, not receiving any stimulus from use, gradually loses the seeing faculty and partial blindness is the result.
 This loss of vision from "disuse is
 more rapid in the very young than in older children. If a child begins to
 squaint at the age of six months, hnd
 has. good vision in each eye, the l squinting eye, if neglected will become
 blind in eight to ten weeks. If ge does
 not begin to squint until he is eigh-
 teen months old the progress of the
 blindness will not be Eapid, but he
 will be blind in the squinting 9ye in | five or six months.
 | If he does not begin to Equint until ] the age of three pears he seldom loses the power of vision in less than year
 thereafter. After the age of six years. the danger is not so great, and the child may retain it to some extent
 Every child who shows symptoms of
 squint should have early attention ii
 sight is to be preserved or the de-
 formity prevented.
