TT AVE you ever thought OF
- the importance of taking
. a holiday in relation to
good looks? Ry holiday
do not mean the weeks spent away
from household cares or business,
but the single day spent in the
woods or on the water. Just a
days respite from the monotony OF
hoLNswork or the grind of busi-
ness.
1t is the opinion of Europeans
that Americans live too rapidly;
that not enough time is spent in
rest and relaxation. For this rea-
son Americans are considered
nervous people, who haunt the re-
sorts for the treatment of nervous
diseases.
In the strenuous living and rush
of work an enormous amount of
vitality and nerVe force is used up.
snd the complexion. eyes, hair. and
figure soon begin to pay the price
for lack of rest and relaxation.
If women would only realize that
one day of complete relaxation now
and then would restore the vital
forces and. perhaps, save them
from long weeks Of illness and
suffering from nervous prostra-
tion. resulting in loss of good
looks.
Rut when the average woman
takes a holiday she works harder
than she would Mt home. Rising
earlier. than usual. she packs the
lunch, which she has labored hard
to prepare the day before. Then
there are children to be taken
along, and she must dress herself,
all before starting out for day in
the Lark or country. In her eager
ness to get every particle Of pleas
ure from the days outing. she bus
tiles about from place to place in

Autumn Notes.

Red-turreted the trees stand in the

Far soldenrod and asters fringe

Black wasrs are buzzing bout the

The grapes cling clustering to the

And ripened nuts are falling all

POincare's Tribute.

Madeline Daniau. the fourteen
year-old French girl. who has been
decorated by President Poincare
with the Cross of Lorraine, is not
the only nonmilitant French citi-
zen who has risen to the occasion
and done her duty.
This girl. when her father. the
village baker. was summoned to the
colors. lit the bakery furnace and.
with the help of her ten-year old
brother. tried to fill his place.
The soldiers who are fighting the
battles Of France are descended from
such mothers as this girl and those
like her will make. Poincare honors
all French women when he honors
her.-Evening Ledger, Philadelphia.

Women Vote In Palestine.

The equal suffrage movement
grows quietly and steadily. even
where very little Is heard about It.
How many Americans know that
for q quarter OF a century women
have been voting in Palestine? This
Is the case in all the Zionist colonies
there.
The first OF these villages was
started twenty-five years ago. with
a population of 200. which has now
grown to l.10o. Other colonies have
been founded since. until today
Palestine has about forty purely
Jewish villages. Norman Hapgood.
in the Roston Jewish Advocate Of
September 8. 1915. has an article
describing them. He says:
The government OF this UirsO
colony, and likewise of those that
began later. is extremely demo-
cratic. In the beginning every land"
owner had vote on any question
that arose. These questions at first
were mainly pecuniary. There were.
ingmen who had no land. the chill
dren of these farm-helpers went to
the schools, and II was realized that
they had as much interest In the
education system as any one else;
and therefore there was formed \
board OF education. separate from
the general governing board. with
the suffrage universal; and later
various other boards developed. The
question of female suffrage never
came UP, because 1t was from the
beginning taken for granted without
any argument that women should
vote on the same terms and Just as
naturally as men,

The Fourth of July has been almost
completely transformed into a holi-

time that Halloween, officially unrec-

is, but dear nevertheless to youthful
and romantic hearts, should be
brought by public sentiment to a sim
ilarly safe and sane basis?
The favorite offense Of Halloween
is wanton destruction of property
not 50 grave a matter perhaps as the
destruction or manning of life or In

Charles Evans Hughes would be an
ideal republican candidate for presi-

him because they think that he could
be elected.
The bosses of party machines, who

he will not accept the nomination,
