[Des Moines Register and Leadef.1
In a letter to New York news
paper few days ago one OF the army
OF unemployed wrote this plea:
II am young man who, tho in good
circumstances at one time. have been
reduced by long unemployment to a
state Of disbursement.
What is more, my appearance is
against me owing to the fact that my
clothes have become shabby and
dflapidated. I am therefore unable to
apply for work in many places.
!. After all Is said, the clothes make the
man SO far as gaining him audience Is
concerned what he liz makes his future
from that point on. It IL impossible to
estimate the number OF men who are
denied hearing for employment be-
cause of their unfortunate appearance.

GALLUs VS.. BELT.


The fellow who has discarded the old
time gallus. later called suspenders.
which our fathers and grandfathers
wore, and substituted the modern sum-
mer belt has been given something 60
think about by the medical scientists.
Here is no less an authority than DR..
w. ]. Mayo. surgeon of Rochester,
Mimi, who is quoted as declaring that
appendicitis has increased from 300 to
400 per cent on account OF The use OF
belts instead Of suspenders.
The San Antonio Republic says the
doctor who holds this opinion is rec
ognized as one of the most successful
surgeons in the world, and that there
fore what he says SIS enc1;ed to great
consideration The Republican then
adds:
Anyhow, some of the old timers will
recall the fact that in the days when
"galluses" were worn generally, such a
disease as appendicitis was unknown.
Thomas Jefferson. John Adams and
other old fcgies never heard Of appen-
fashioned diseases which were not ag-
gravated by surgical operations. It Is
altogether probable the Doctors Mayo
are not lar wrong, IN view oA Tue Adct
that the gentlemen Just mentioned
never wore belts.
The Atlanta Constitution, however
Is skeptical, and declares:
But equally eminent authorities
know that appendicitis prevailed in
the good, old-fashioned days. only they
didn't call 1t by that name. 1t hadn't
progressed as far as the dictionaries OF
the old timers. 1t is too late to blame
1t on the cool and comfortable summer
belt.
The debate is interesting. as 1t ever
has been and always will be, when the
views of fashion begin to antagonize
the canons Of hygiene. And human
nature is such that it will be long
time before the one showns signs OF
yielding to the other

BUSINESS WOMEN.

BUSINESS WOMEN.
[Iowa City Citizen.]
That the club women OF Iowa City
are graceful and hospitable enter
tanners is shown by the evidence OF
the hundreds Of visitors who were
,, here on attendance at the biennial
meeting Of the Iowa Federation OF
women's Clubs. None could exceed
the courtesy and thoughtfulness OF
the hostesses, say the women OF
Iowa.
But one more word of praise
should be said for the Iowa City wom-
en- who had in charge the great task
of caring for about 500 guests for four
days. They met all the expenses and
had money left over. That is some
thing that can not always be said for
the men, who sometimes think they
have a corner on business ability.
According to the report made by
Mrs. Kessler, the treasurer, after all
expenses were paid, including the
cost Of producing the Greek play,
which was treat to the visitors.
there was balance OF S1I5 remain
ing on hand. In other words, the
business plans of these business wom-
en- worked out admirably and there
was no money raising after the guests
were gone. If any company of men
entertainers can show as good finan-
cial record as that they are entitled to
be heard.
One thing more. The women ex-
hibited their characteristic kindness
of heart in donating the balance to
a deserving local institution. the old
ladies' home. WHICH closes the chap
ter in a manner that should meet the
approval of everybody.
To Mrs. Mayer and her associates
this praise is due.

COLUMBUS, Ca, May 14.-The In
dustrial Index says in its issue for this
week:
"The formation this week of eighteen
corporations with minimum capital
stocks aggregating nearly a million
dollars to engage in number of lines
of industry illustrates the steady pro-
gress that is being made in the South
east.
"In some cities and towns building
permit figures show that new high
construction records are being made,
and there is a general and substantial
increase in building activity.
Announcements of the awarding OF
contracts for the erection of school
buildings and of plans for the imme-
.diate erection of structures of the kind
comprise an interesting feature of the
building news for the week, demon
strating that educational facilities of
the best kind are being provided for
children now here and for those who
may come to this section of the coun-
try.
The establishment of by-product
coke ovens in the Birmingham district
at cost of about $750000 is con-
templated.

Dickens Originated Phrase

bered Alexander Pope, has now been
added the name of Charles Dickens.
