It's a delicate subject II there's a

At the end of the rehearsal they

Talk to any thoughtful dressmaker

ing things out of proportion is insan-

uor1en to whom clothes are the art
and science OF life. They care for
nothing else, think Of nothing else.
They are possessed by velvets, OBJ
sessed by chiffons. A moderate lik-
ing for pretty gowns and hats and
wraps is entirely natural. 1t is in its
simple normal form an expression OF
a woman's sense of beauty and fit
ness. But 1t is only one of the in

1t was within Lily Wagner's. But
she cared if1ordinately for handsome
gowns. The sight of one mounted
to her brain and befuddled it as the
fumes OF wine befuddle the drunkard.
Beginning as a pretty girl with ali
average interest in dainty apparel, the
liking grew into an obsession. It
became a monster that destroyed her.

AS GOES MAINE, SO GOES NATION.
Louis Cuenther, the We'll known fin
ancial writer of New York, says in the
current issue Of The Financial World:
"In we'll informed circles no surprise
is felt Of the results of the Maine cleo
ton. The majority Of voters uphold
the strong hand President Wilson has
on the rudder Of u country's ship of
state. The mass Of the people are not
inclined to change a pilot in whom
they have confidence in times Of storm
for an uncertain steersman. History.

him the possession Of talents of grea:

ACCIDENTS ON THE WATER.
How a Pot or Pan or Even a Hat May
Be Used as a Life Preserver.

How a Pot or Pan or Even a Hat May
Be Used as a Life Preserver.
The worst thing to do in an accident
on the water is to founder around and
shrek and cry. That eXpels the air
from the lungs, and then the body
will quickly sink. With this fact I'M
derstood we may experiment with a
number of things to show how little it
takes to support the body. The high
silk hat of man contains sufficient air
to keep him from sinking if he grasps
it by the rim and holds it upright so
that the air is imprisoned under the
hat. Even a derby hat will support a
half grown boy or girl if held right.
Dishpans and buckets or tin pals
can also be used rs life preservers. In
vert these il the water and grasp the
rim with both hands and do not
tip them so the air can escape. Not
long ago Il party of girls out rowing
had their boat upset in a mountain
lake. All Of them except Il could
swim. This girl had IN umbrella with
her, raised to ward Off the suns rays
when the accident occurred. Finding
herself in the water some distance
from the boat. she grabbed for the
nearest thing in reach. 1t proved to be
her umbrella, floating with the handle
down in the water. She threw both
urms frantically around the open I'M
hrella. To her surprise and to that
of her comrades. she did not sink. The
! imprisoned air under the umbrella sup
ported her head above the water until
help arrived.
The small amount Of air contained
in IL bicycle tire will keep ones head
above water for hours. Even if one
is Il fair swimmer. the day may come
when Il knowledge of some of these
every day life prcservers will prove Of
the greatest value. If thrown i'll the
water Il long distance from shore YOU
MAJ be able to float and swim with
such an aid three times rs far rs you
could without them. George +.

EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS
ARE HARD HIT
THE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
HITS STATE EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS.
Hard Blow Dealt by
Equalization Board
OVER $4,000 TAKEN AWAY FROM
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
LAST YEAR..

The boast is made hat the tax levy
for the first time in the history of the
state has been kept down to 4 mills.
How is It accomplished? The facts
are that the levy for the educational
institutions of the state heretofore
have been levied at 4 IL mills. In or.
mills, the levy for educational institu.
tons has been cut down to ! mill,
therefore reducing the revenue for
maintenance of educational institutions
S130,000. Therefore the boasted reduc,
ton has been made at the expense oil
the education Of our children. Is this
economy? I would say that to neglect
the mental and moral uplift OF our ris,
ing generation is economy, then DAMN
such economy, says Mr.. Hellstrom.
The business administration" boasts
of an increase in railroad assessments
of $500, goo, which does not begin to
account for the new lines and extern
sions that We're not in the tax levy Of
1913, Consequently there has been nc
increase in railroad assessment.
But, on the other hand, real estate
has been increased ...... ,506.QG
The increase in personal
property is ............ 3,360.325.0G
Making a total increase
OF the peoples tax values --

Thus it will be seen hat the real
and personal property owned by the
people has been raised in valuation
Is times as much as railroad property.
The people may consider Themselves
lucky to get off at the ratio of IS to !
against the people and in favor of the
railroads when there is a business

OF there being a reduction of taxes and
economy shown, there is an actual in
crease in taxes in order to pay junket.

1t is believed by many persons that
the blacks in Australia are dying out.

TAKING MEDICINE.
There Are Many Ways of Doing 1t, but
Only One Right Way.

There Are Many Ways of Doing 1t, but
Only One Right Way.
Take IL fluid remedy from Il medicine
glass or from Il silver spoon. Chemical
action of some liquids upon brass
creates q liquid that would be fatal if
taken into the stomach. y good rule
is never to take medicine from any
thing made of the coarser metals.
While pouring the medicine from
bottle to spoon or cup hold the bottle
so that the label is uppermost. This
will prevent the medicine pouring over
the label and staining if not obliternt-
.!.- it. This precaution, especially III
the cast OF liquids that might be harm
ful if taken by mistake or in the
wrong quantity, is imperative.
Unless directions require YOU to take
medicines full strength, it is better TO
dilute them half and half with water,
Never take doses larger than those
specified in the directions. Better that
they be smaller.
Under no circumstances take medi-
cine in the dark. The reason is OBJ
yious. Read the frequent news OF
deaths of persons who have taken
poisons by mistake.
Be sure never to pour medicine back
into the bottle. Never fail to shake
the bottle before taking Il dose Of the
| contents. If there be any sign of sedi.
ment, shake the more.
Unless directed otherwise you would
better take all capsules, pills or tab
| lets with Il half glass of water.
Never use Il liniment near an opeI
| flame. for Il liniment usually contains
some combustible element. Always
! rub IL liniment into the skin until it is
nearly dry.
Be sure to brush the teeth after tax
ing medicine, since many medicines
contain acids or iron. both of which
are injurious to the teeth.
Keep ~effervescent medicines in a COO
place.-New York American.
