Longfellow. one OF the most popular poets
IN England, was born 100 years ago. The so
ciety which has secured the house in Portland,
Me-, in which he first saw the light is ask

the mortgages on the building and TO collect
interesting objects connected with the poet
and books about him, and for other literary
purposes. Contributions have been received
from every European country. as we'll as

New Clothes Good as Medicine.

The best tonic for the homemaker and mother of family is new clothes. There is not merely joy but real health-giving in new hat or gown. Too many times the mother says, Anything will do for me-" so often the whole family comes to believe 1t. The woman who knows she is becomingly dressed will carry herself erect and walk with certain spring and elas- ticity impossible to the shabby or dowdy woman.
 It may take considerable tact and persuasion on the part of the younger members of the family to convince the mother past fifty that she needs new hat instead of a box of pills, or that new gown will be a better producer of energy than a bottle of iron. Re- member, woman is as old as she wishes to be. So she should cling to her youth. A woman shouldn't get the Idea she is aging and she won't age.- Mary L. Oberlir. in Farming Business.

Proposal j. Unexpected.
The manufacturers proposal came
as an unexpected development when
the trade commission, after finishing
with publishers as witnesses. called
on the manufacturer 10 present
their case. Newspaper owners had
told OF wide differences in paper
prices in various parts OF the coun-
try and OF the inability Of many
small publishers to obtain paper at
any price.
Counsel for the News Print Man
ufacturers' association which con-
trolls a large share of the output.
declared it had been impossible to
analyze in so short a time statistical
facts presented by the commission
investigators at the outset OF the
hearing; that the chief complaint
was from small publishers unable
20 get paper because of the increas-
ed demand and that the manufac-
turers after conferring, had decided
they we're open TO any proposal for
an equitable distribution OF their
product
Uncover Inquiry Facts.
At the outset Tuesday investigators
for the commission presented for the
first time facts uncovered i'm their
inquiry into news print prices. This
Information had to do with profits
in the mills and i'm the Jobbing
houses and with the question of
supply and demand. Profits have
increased. &C was shown. and the out
put has grown, although growing
consumption has taken up much OF
the increased manufacture.
Attorneys for the manufacturers
objected 10 presentation of the fig
ures without previous notice. and
declared they had no means OF prov
