Rerular Habits.

Too often does the girl who had
natural beauty in her youth squander
it prodigally, keeping late hours, over
exerting and eating irregularly 1000
rich but not particularly nourishing.
declares Woman's World for October.
Health and strength are the props on
which beauty depends for support,
and, when inroads are constantly made
on these, 1T quickly fades. And to con-
tinue in the possession of health and
strength no new laws are needed. but
the old rule of plenty of sleep, nour-
ishing food eaten regularly, and much
exercise, must be observed.
The girl who at seventeen or eigh-
teen was the envy of her palmer sis
tiers frequently appears faded and
haggard at twenty, when she should
be entering on her most attractive
period, and in turn the girls who were
plain of face beside her a few years
before, are now surprising her in
charm; for with her beauty usually
passes her once pleasing disposition.
1t must be admitted that 1t is not al
together their own doing that the plain
girls have grown continually more at
tractive; they perhaps lacked the
many opportunities for dissipation Of
fered the prettier girl, and there was
not so much to come between them
and good care Of their health; never
theless, they are decidedly the gamers,
through their earlier loss Of temporary
good times

National Defcit.

There is a deficit in the national
treasury. For some reason the
Democratic party always manages to
bring about this condition when in
power. The administration tries to
lay the blame upon the European
war. OF course, this is partly re-
sponsible but extravagant expendi-
lures and weak revenue measures are
also causes.-Wetzel Republican.

Assistant Secretary Maiburn of-the
Treasury Department has notified all
customs officials that hereafter WON :
en- who wear aigrettes in their hats
when they leave the United States will
be- permitted to wear them upon re-
turning without molestation. The de-
cision was based on an appeal made
by a Detroit woman who wore an
aigrette in her hat when she crossed
int Windsor, Canada. for an hour 8
visit. and who protested when Gus
toms officials at Detroit seized the
iaigrette on her return. 81
In amending the regulations to COW
er such cases as that t~complained-ofi OF In
Detroit, Assistant Secretary Malburn
decided that wearing of prohibited
plumage across the border into for
eign territory with the definite In
tention to bring the same back to the
United States does not CONSTITUTES a
bona fide expectation under the GUS
toms law, and Its return to the United
States is not an. importation. gL
This interpretation Of the law will
permit American women to wear

of having them snatched from their
hats on arriving home. lt# r.
