MOVIES FOR INMATES

st. Paul, Jan. 13.-The state board
of control viii equip all state institu-
lions with moving picture outfits.
They have been experimenting with
them at the Rochester and Hastings
insane hospitals, at the Red Wing
boys school and the two Faribault in
stitutions, and the results have been
good according to Ralph Wheelock,
member Of the board. He said that
several kinds Of amusements had heep
tried at these institutions, but that the
inmates did not seem specially inter-
ested, but that the moving pictures
appeal to them all and have bene-
fetal effect.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
City Dads Transact Large Amount Of
Routine Business at Regular
Meeting Last Week.

At the regular meeting of the Com
mon Council held at the office of the
Clerk January z, 1914, all members
were present.
The minutes of the previous meet
ing were read and approved.
A committee consisting of w. F.
Sanderson and w. o. P. Hilsdale,
representing the Commercial Club ap-
peared before the council asking for
the installation of a white Way"
lighting system in this city. This
committee had done the investigating
as to the working of the new system,
and asked that the council appoint a
like committee to cooperate and make
a thorough investigation as to the
best kind for city of this size, the
probable cost of installation and the
cost of operating the same, and report
the findings to the council. The presi-
dent appointed Aid. Gingery, Brown
and City Clerk Cooper on such COM
mittee with instructions to report at.
the next regular meeting.
M. C. Kelsey and G. Hillerud, hav-,
ing been appointed committee from
the Commercial Club to investigate
the most feasible way of graduating
the weeds from the mill pond, filed its
report in writing, which among other
things, recommended one of two meth
DDS. One being the moving of the
weeds and the other the dragging of
them, and recommended that the coun
ell appoint committee at once to in
vestigate the cost of such work and
the probable efficiency of such metz
DDS, and report its findings to the I
Council. The president appointed Aid.
jenkins, Pangburn and Jameson as
such committee.
The sepcial committee appointed at
last meeting authorized to make such
arrangements as it might deem prop
er with the City Steam Laundry for
the tapping of the City water mains
at its new location, reported having
permitted a tap of two inches in dia-
meter. The report was accepted and
the committee discharged.
In view of the fact that the City
was in search of considerable informa-
ion on public works it was deemed
advisable for the City to become a.
member of the League of Municipali-
ties at cost of $40 per annum, and
AID. Gingery moved that the Clerk
be instructed to draw an order on the
general fund in the sum of $40 in
favor of such League for such men,
bership. The motion was duly second
ed and carried.
The Clerk was also instructed to
draw an order in favor of the State
Auditor in the sum of $144, being 2
per cent of the liquor license collected
for the year ending Jan. 1, 1914.
The bill of H. R. Halvorsen & Co.,
for $50, laid over from the last regu-I
lar meeting was laid over again until
the next regular meeting and the
Clerk was directed to ask Mr.. Hal
vorsen for an itemized statement of
the several bills.
The Rest Room Committee filed its
regular monthly report for December
which showed an attendance Of 725,.
with the single days attendance of
10, and balance on hand Of $23.12.
The report was ordered placed on file.
The following bills were audited, al

THE PRESENT SLENDER FIGURE

The slim. elegant figure is evidently
here to stay. There were rumors a short
while ago Of the return OF hips and other
such fancies. but tho straight and mar

lar. This slimness and elegance is often
the outcome Of rigid diet and continuous
exercise on the part of it's proud pos
SCISSOR, but she seldom minds IL she can
make her friends envious. For those
who have not the patience to diet, few
hints as to clothing will help toward
acquiring the fashionable lines.
First never wear your gowns Skin
tight" Unless your figure is quite per-
feet, tight gown only aocentuates your
imperfections. And there isn't one wo-
man out OF hundred who can afford to
do this The moderately loose perfectly
natural gown. of simple lines and appro-
priately trimmed, is suitable to any figure.
The baggy styles, of exaggerated full

Luncheon Table Decorations

One of the newest ideas for the lunch
con table Is the crocheted bonbon basket
The advantage OF this is, that you can
always have pretty decoration on hand,
and they will look fresh and far superior
to the fancy paper boxes. Nothing looks
so dilapldated as crepe paper articles
which have been torn or handled.
Buy plain oardonnet crochet cotton.
Make enough two-inoh wide, sheIl-stitch
edging to go around a jelly glass or
small dish Sew the ends together. Then
make E plain circular mat to At the
bottom, stitch It to the edging and your
little basket is complete. The problem
Of making It stand upright is easily
solved. Starch your whole basket very
stiTly. and pull 1t into shape while 1t Is
drying,
A handle may be added. II you choose
II could be white, with ribbon rosette
OF the same color as the basket A con-
trasting pastel shade, such as pink with
blue. or blue with yellow. may be used
70 show up nicely. Another good thing
about It is that you can use fraternity.
club or college cOlors to advantage. The
handles are made OF the plain crochet
beading, starched stlfly. or a fine wire
bound with ribbon.
These charming little accessories 10 the
luncheon table are also used as favors
They are used as trinket holders, or
miniature jeweiTy cases. II You put
candy in them, good protection for the
basket itself Is a little pad OF tissue
paper In the bottom. They are so easily
made and SO attractive 10 look at II is
too bad to spoil them by earelessness.

A Female Edison

Did you know that up to a very few
years ago we had woman Edison"
Her name was Miss Margaret E. Knight,
and she was the inventor Of 81 separate
contrivances
Her career was most interesting and
will bear repetition. Her birthplace wes
Manchester N. H., 70 years ago. She be-
gan her extraordinary work at the age
OF 12 when she invented a stop-motion
arrangement to prevent the steel-tlpped
shuttles of the mill looms from falling
out and injuring the employees
Her brothers were employed in a mill
Mt the time and the idea came to her on
one Of her visits to take them their din
ner.
We can thank Miss Knight for the in
estimable benefit of the square-bottom
paper bag. It was in 1871 that she In
vented the machine which manufactures
them. She also gave us very usetul
variety of the popular tin can. After this
was accepted by several prominent can
ming concerns. her picture was hung in
the Patent Bureau in Washington
Most of her inventions were confined to
rubber cotton and shoe machinery, al
though she is better known by her engine
devices and the Knight-Davidson motor
II is interesting to know that during tho
course of her work she encountered nu-
merous lawsuits, but she never contested
n patent without receiving the award,
She lived alone in n small cottage Tor 70

White fox Is an attractive fur and one
that is very becoming to girls. In the
set illustrated whole animal is used
for the neck piece, head, tail and claws,
and another one for the muff with white
velvet at the wrists.
The other set Of fur shown Is Russian

ing them at the back so that In front

Don't let your little daughter screw
her hair UP. The pretty. natural effect
of the hair growing softly about the face
Is best suited to young girls. Girls nova
days want to put their hair up before
they are over playing with dolls. Nothing
Is more attractive than the young girl
of 10 or 16, with the large single
curl in the back caught loosely with a
bow or barette. The front may be parted,
or in a soft. flat pompadour. How seldom
you see this-most of the girls wear
more or less correct imitation of their
mothers coiffure. marcel wave and all
Curriers' and tongs-in fact patent wavers
of all kinds-are very bad indeed FOR the
young child's hair All natural, unaf-
fected things are best for children. They
are n part of youth itself. Flufflng the
hair gently the wrong way or turning up
the straight ends with a damp comb IL
the only natural way to encourage curls.
Never use heated irons These will surely
ruin the hair, making II become brittle,
lifeless and lose its color
If your daughters hair falls out at an
early age see to 1t Mt once. healthy
child's hair grows quite rapidly and nB
the hair first indicates the general condi-
tion, better watch II carefully. See that
she brushes II for n short while-say hvo

bring ourselves to believe that its place
iF In the home. The day seemed far dis
tant when the food supply furnished by
our colossal acreage would not be sufii-
cient to meet the demands of our rapidly
increasing population. and we have cheer
fully gone on buying what we could af-
ford, eating what we happened TO fancy
and throwing away the rest.
Now. with hardly enough warning to
enable us to catch our breath. we dnd
ourselves confronted by the near pros
pect OF struggle with the same prob
lem that has for years been bugbear
to the nations of European actual
scarcity of food In other words. seeing
that no power can stop the export of ut
least a part OF our food supplies, so long
as Europe wants them enough to pay
high prices for them It is likely that we
shall be forced to mend our extravagant
ways and take lessons I'm economy.
We must learn to eliminate the enor-
nous waste OF foodstuffs that has been
going on for years. We must learn
efficient and economic methods OF pro-
duction and distribution. II is not
enough to try intensive methods Of ng-
riculturc and to make two blades of
grass grow where one grew before. We
must learn the actual value Of every
article Of food and make IL go as far
as Il will.
We must learn how 10 prevent tne
appalling breakage and rotting Of eggs;
we must stop the spelling of fruits and
vegetables and see that everything
which is eatable reaches the consumer.
We must lay the AK to the very roots
of the economically wastcful and dis
honest methods which throw away huge
ConsiEumeuts of food rather than allow
prices to be lowered by a plentiful sup
ply. Above all, we must learn to cook.
In future years, when we come to
reckon both the cost and the gain. we
will find that we have gained much by
meeting the present crisis. We will have
raised fish to It's rlghtful place as an
everyday article Of food We will have
learned to make a wider use OF cereals
and other less expensive foods. We will
have learned to make savory dishes from
the cheaper outs Of meat, and especially
we will have learned to utilize every
scrap of food.
There could be no greater catastrophe
than the colossal war which is now
shaking the civilized world to It's very
centre. But If the stress and strain OF
It bring home the need and also the per-
manent value of real economy, the
present pinch of stern necessity will be
referred to by future generations as the
greatest blessing of this age.
