Clothes.
BY RUTH CAMERON

Are you ever astonished and ap- palled at the power desire for clothes has over the mind of the average Woman-over your mind and mine :? l am.
 l love books. I love out-of-doors 1 know that friendship and love, 8 tranquil mind an uncovetuos appre- citation of beauty wherever found, in humanity, in art or nature, and an altru1stic interest in the worlds s progress are the realities of life.
 1 know that clothes are not one of the vital realities. I know that if I can wear becoming. warm and whole clothing, that is all l should care about
 The Dress I Bought Three Years Ago
 Is As Good As Ever
 1 know with my mind that since the dress I bought three years ago is still becoming and perfectly whole, I ought to have the strength of mind to be contended, and not be discon- tented because it is plainly of a past day vintage.
 All these things are what my mind says.
 And then some day I go into town l meet women to whom pretty and fashionable clothes are the impor- tant things of life. And as if I had been exposed to a contagion, I catch the fever of the desire for pretty things and all that my mind says is forgotten.
 The Thought of Clothes Intrudcs on

Back hurt you?( Cant straighten up without feeling sudden pains sharp aches and twinges? Now listen. That's lumbago, sciatica or maybe from a strain, and you'll get relief the moment you rub your back with soothing. penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil" Nothing else takes out soreness, lameness and stiffness so quickly. You simply rub it on your back and out comes the pain. It is harmless and doesn't burn the skin.
 Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a small trial bottle of old, honest "St Jacobs Oil" from any drug store, and after using it just once, you'll forget that you ever had backache, lumbago or sciatica, because your back will never hurt or cause any more misery. It never disappoints and has been rec commended for 60 years.

 Walt, l am so glad I met Janet tonight as did, I just must say some thing of what I feel,' she said Tn low voice. eff she had shown her self the conventional, jealous, sus- picious wife I should have hated her, and would not have given her a thought, TO matter what happened-- unless. perhaps, to fight her! But she isn't. And I'm touched-and happy and miserable!"
 Walt could not bear to hear her, for there was utter sincere lonliness of heart in her voice. She had once known what it was to own home. She had known motherhood. She had known what it was to lose in quick succession, hope, love, home and child.
 'I wonder, can one run away from oneself-from life?'' she went on. | Suppose I went to Paris-away from vou-away from Janet? Would l for get what I am missing? If life were only like a coat one wears. If one could slip out of it like from a misf1t garment and slip into another one! l With so many people it is so! l envy 1 them!" she cried, with a sob. She hid i her face in the curtains of the win 1 dow, pretending to be looking out. Walt was racked with pity. He ! went to her and took her gently by i the arm.

VOCATIONAL BILL
BECOMES LAW

After fight lasting over FIVE years,
congress has passed the bill providing
for federal aid to states in establish
ing vocational or industrial schools.
President Wilson, in signing this epoch
making measure used four different
penholders which were made by boys
vocational school in Buffalo.
The law appropriates Sl,700,000 for
aid to such schools for the first year
and provides for a gradual increase
up to S7,300,000 in nine years. An adj
ditional provision of 100000 is made
for the training of teachers in the next
four years.
The money is to be expended under
the auspices of the state boards for
vocational education in agriculture,
the trades and home economics--or in
other words the practical subjects
which have been so much neglected up
to this time in favor of intellectual"
culture. But no state can have any of
this federal money unless it puts up a
dollar on its own account for every
dollar that the government puts up.
Thus the system will be cooperative,
and Uncle Sam will help those who
help themselves.
This is virtually the measure long
known as the Page bill-introduced by
Senator Page in the 62nd congress.
Senator Page made,the bill his hobby,
and labored early and late to work up
public sentiment in favor of it. At
different times it came near going
through, but struck some snag. The
bill as passed was known as the Smith
Hughes bill-from Senator Smith of
Georgia and Representative Hughes of
the same state, who had charge of the
matter in this congress.
The final passage Of this law, after
such a long struggle, and in the face
of much opposition and prejudice, is
recognized as a great triumph for the
cause of practical education in this
countryside education which aims to
fit the coming generations for produc-
ing the things that the world wants.
