LIMIT PROFITS
 OF EMPLOYERS

London, August 13.-G:12 D. m)-David Lloyd George, minister of munitions, an- nounced that 345 establishments have been declared controlled establishments" un- der the munitions of war act. The act limits the profits of employers and any excess over the limit becomes payable to the national exchequer.
 By this provision" says MT. Lloyd George, Parliament has assured that sacrifices made by workmen are made for the nation as whole and not for the advantage of individuals. On the other hand, during the period of the war, any rules or shop customs which may have the effect of limiting the output of munitions are suspended in controlled establishments"

THE following article telling of the


 career and home life of Audry Mum
 son, "The Exposition Girl" appears in recent issue of the American Maga- zine:
 Few women in history have been the direct inspiration of so much sheer beauty as a young American girl named Audry Munson. A rare distinction this, to have ones face and figure flash back recogni- ton from the embodied beauty of the sculptors and painters ideal. Audry Munson is the original of the greater part of the sculpture that adorns the sumptuous buildings at the Panama Pa cifc exposition at San Francisco. Be- cause the sculpture represented at the ex- position signalizes the dawn of American sculpture. because the slender. classic Ardry has been the inspiration of the art represented there she has fairly earned the title of Exposition Girl" Artists are unanimous in their praise of her.
 Artists are the most difficult people in the world to please in regard to their ideal of beauty, which often varies with each Individual But a dozen of Amercas S foremost sculptors and painters have
 
 Munsons face and figure. Few such honors have been won before by one young girl, and they have been added to by her portrayal on the Panama Com memorative medal, which will be coined by the hundreds of thousands in the gov ernment mint in San Francisco; yet she is demure, modest and unassuming-the result of the environment of her early home. In a childish way she expresses the hope that she may be able to visit the exposition, and there see the wonder ful sculptures and paintings for which she has been the model.
 In addition to having been the inspira- ton for so much of the sculpture of the exposition, you will find her portrayed in the mural paintings of William de Left wich Dodge and Milton H. Bancroft, In the decorations of the new steamers that ply the great lakes, in the dining room of the Astor hotel in New York; and on Fifth avenue you will meet her again in the exclusive silversmiths shops depicted as Lady Godiva" by the clever Italian sculptor Carpetti. She graces the "Foun- Maine Monument at the entrance to Central park in New York, and other i'm eortant sculptural groups.
 With the well known illustrators Miss Munson is equally a favorite. In the ma agazines, for cover designs and illustra- tons, she has been drawn by Harrison Fisher, Charles Dana Gibson A. B. Wen zell and Henry Hut.

Genuine W.T..

Benjamin Moore, the second bishop
of New York, was a man noted in his
day for his ready vita quality that
his wife apparently shared with him.
A dinner was given by some one OF
Gouverneur Morris friends when he
was about to depart for Europe. Bish-
op Moore and his wife were of the
party. In the course Of the conversa.
ton Mr.. Morris observed that since he
was going abroad he had made his
will and, turning to Bishop Moore, said
to him:
''My reverend friend, I have be-
Queathed to you my complete ssOck OF
impudence."
Bishop Moore replied: "Sir- 5Ou are
not only very kind, but you Xe very
generous. You have left me by far
the largest portion Of your estate"
Mrs. Moore Immediately added, my
dear, you have come into possession OF
your Inheritance remarkably sOon-"-

HEALTH AND WEDLOCK.
Conditions That Should Be Studied Be-
fore Ii Is Too Late.

TOTG iC 10 LOO GdbC'
Marriage, from any point of view, is
of course a serious proposition. as it
may bless or wreck two human lives,
If not more. Not the least important
Of these points of view is that of the
health of both parties to the contract.
The health commissioner of Pennsyl-
vania in an official bulletin gives the
following advice to those about to
marry:
First, man should not marry un-
less into a family with history OF
reasonable longevity. free from hered-
itary disease. He should not marry
a woman advanced in life, delicate,
feeble or afflicted with any inherited
deformity. The age most proper for
women in this climate is nineteen or
twenty years and for men twenty-four
or twenty-five years. Women Of a
nervous temperament, those who are
extremely irritable, hysterical, subject
to cOnvulsions or to epilepsy from or
ganic disease, ought to avoid matri-
mOny.
I'm this country marriages before
the ages of twenty-five and nineteen
respectively are contraindicated, be-
cause as a rule, previous to these pc
riods of life the body is not fully de-
veloped, the different functions are not
perfect, and any offspring developed by
them in their immature condition must
be deficient in vital power"

in sentiment to feudal times. when the
partisans of leader used to wear his

to doubt; hence the phrase, You wear
