HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
ARE YOUR LIPS THIN?
BY Frances Marshall

Copyright, 1917 by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
1t has been said that the thin Tipped
housewives are those who take their
work too seriously and that the way to
tell Martha when YOU meet one-the
housewife who lis troubled with many
things and whose soul is shaken to the
center by petty worries within doors"
is by her lips. If they are narrow
and compressed she il d Martha. If
she has lips that are normally full she
is probably too sensible on too broad or
two philosophical TO be worried by
these things.
And just to find out whether you are
Martha or not take your stand before
your mirror. If possible secure a
photograph of yourself taken some
time before YOU began your career as a
housewife. Then make a study of the
lips. Are they drawn? Are thew mar
row?
For nervous women one Of the most
usual ways to SHOW their nerves. is
by tWitching the nerves. If their chill
dren are attempting any task that they
do not feel suro they will succeed these
women watch with lips that keep COM
pressing themselves, twitching and
working. Sometimes these nervous
women even bite their lips, and this
habit, l have been told, is quite sure to
end by spelling the shape of the lips.
watched woman know the other
day, as she watched her 16-year-old
daughter make cake For one thing.
IKE too many mothers, this friend of
NINE hadn't very much confidence in
her daughters ability. Still she didn't
want to interfere. AS the daughter beat
the eggs the mother feared lest she
should spill them and, as she watched.
her mouth worked. Then the daughter
had to take. the cork out of o fresh bot
tie Of vanilla and again the mother
showed her concern by her lips, only as
the daughter rather recklessly welded
the sharp-tined fork the mother grew
anxious lest the fork should slip and
then her lips quivered furiously and
ended in a hard. set line.
SO with some women when they watch
their servants. They register every
emotion Of disapproval, concern, anxi-
ETY. and reproof in those silent lips of
theirs. And when they work them
selves they keep their lips forever NOV
ing.
But the woman whose lips are serene
is the woman who has learned the flu
tility Of "fussing." She is the woman
who has learned that retaining the
features Of youth is often matter of
wishing to do so and setting about it
not to spoil the features by habits.
Sometimes woman even before she is
40 has grown so accustomed to a con-
tracted or contorted pose of the lips
that it is hard for her to put her lips
In a normal youthful line. They have
crystallized in the line Of Martha. If
it is not too late for you get back that
lip line Of youth. Study It in your
mirror if need be and then Just make
up your mind to let your lips look the
repose that you ought to feel Before
long you will see an Improvement in
your appearance and then in your gen
eral state Of nerves. For woman
cannot long look reposeful without
feeling the reaction in her general
state Of mind.

WHOLE COUNTRY INTERESTED.

Galesburg, ILL.,, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:
One of the most remarkable things in
the New York mayoralty campaign is
that the republican nominee who
beat Mayor Mitchell was refused by
large vote the endorsement of the Of
fetal organization of the party. 1T on
the other hand appeared while not en-
dorsing Mayor Michel that the organ
iZation is for Mitchell, and that the re-
publicans will back Mitchell up far
more than was first presumed possible.
The republican primary candidate is
left to feel that he has made boot
less race, and perhaps that he has
been made tool of by certain parties.
1t Is likely that he will on election
day run a poor third.
Mitchell is making no concealment
OF his issue. He IS running on a plat
form of Americanism pure and simple
He owes no divided allegiance He
makes patriotism his motto, and Is
probing deeply into the attitudes OF his
opponent whom he represents not to
be fully in sympathy with the govern
ment. Their position is doubtful
The whole country is thus interest
ed in the contest in the chief city OF
the nation It Will watch with con-
Germ the trend of the campaign. 1t is
very essential Jnat there should be
in the chairno the mayor of that city
man who is thoroughly representa-
tive of the American idea and senti-
ment AS some one has said it IS not
at all desirable to have in the mayors
chair Of that great city another man
CT the Mayor Thompson type. This
would be misfortune.
1t Is test of New York citizens.
The country will by the result or the
election read their hearts. It may
have some influence on the country
at large.

SILVER is NOT AT PAR.

Des Moines Register: On account
of the sensational rise in the value or
silver, many people are wondering
when it will be profitable to melt sill
yer dollars and sell them for bullion.
They are in danger of being deceived
by the fact that silver is quoted at
"104' into believing that 1t is already
per cent above par, when in fact
that Is the price per ounce, and it is
still over 20 per cent below par on the
basis OF the silver found in dollar
An American silver dollar contains
371A grains of silver, against $50
grains In troy ounce. The value Of
the silver bullion in a dollar may be
determined by multiplying the price
per ounce by 371H and dividing by
$50. At 1O4, which is the price being
paid at the government mint, the bull
lion in dollar is worth S0,43 cents
AS financial journal reports that
supposedly well informed men are
treating silver as above par, and
finds it necessary to warn them that
par for silver is 1929 an ounce, it
may be necessary to institute educa-
tional measures to prevent the melting
of coin in sections of the country
where silver dollars are used for
money.
It will be a blessing in Iowa II silver
does go high enough to put the silver
dollar out OF circulation. This state
is unfortunately situated at the df-
yiding line between paper and silver.
1t has a preference for paper and a
plethora of silver. If silver goes to
IsI30 an ounce. man will be able to
offer SIS bill in payment of a pound Of
butter without the certainty OF get
ting four silver dollars and 55 cents
back in change But, as some will
rise to remark, the time will come
soon enough when the purchaser OF
butter will be thankful if he gets
even the SIS cents back.

,orrons lMPuDENT COMBINE.

New York World: Under the I'm.
preston that cotton Is king once
more, men interested in growing and
marketing the staple have met at
New Orleans and agreed upon 80
cents a pound as a fair price to the
planter Having adjusted this i'm
portant matter to their own satisfac-
ton, they solemnly resolved that
neither congress nor any person or
body delegated by it should have
authority to fix prices.
AS cotton was selling at cents
pound on the plantation three years
ago, it will be seen that the gentle
men who speak for the trade have
been exceedingly generous with them
selves. They have done more than
mark up famine rates and warn gov
eminent off the premises. They have
ignored what has happened to wheat,
steel, copper, coal and sugar, and they
have wholly overlooked what is going
to happen to many other commod-
tiles.
The present congress has been re-
luctant to deal with cotton and wool
as it dealt with foods, metal, and
fuel, but there is reason to believe
that if it fails presently TO meet the
issue 1t will have a successor that will
not hesitate to do so. With sec,
tional vote almost solidly in its favo,
at Washington, cotton, although
higher than ever before, has pleaded
poverty on all occasions since the
war began. It has helped govern
ment fix prices for other products.
For itself it organizes combine,
names its own terms and asks, What
are you going to do about it?'
The few misguided farmers OF the
T, northwest who attempted to put a
price upon their wheat We're govern
ed by highly speculative figures
temporarily prevailing at Chicago.
Our cotton growers modestly demand
5 cents more at the plantation than
the speculative price in New York.

Much as Possible to

Tuesday, October 8, the knitting
made the following ship

Two dozen pairs of socks.
One dozen pairs of wristlets.
One and one-half dozen sweaters.
One dozen mufflers.
The committee especially urges all
those knitting sweaters to finish
them and turn them in, if possible,
for the shipment next Tuesday.
There is snow in northern France
now and at this time, the beginning
of winter, a person feels the cold
most keenly. We want to prevent
illness due to exposure to cold, II
we can. So please hurry up the
sweaters.
Because emphasis is laid on sweat

that socks are not wanted. They
are always wanted. Lieut.. q. c.

CONSTRUCTIVE BUSINESS BUILDING

There has naturally been criticism Of the
governments plans to readJust business to war
conditions. With the justice Of some of this
criticism there may be ground for debate, but
tbe debate must concern itself with the details
of the plans, not with the necessity OF making
them No one can question the need of bust
ness reconstruction to meet war needs, and busl-
ness while able eventually to readjust itself,
cannot respond through its own normal agen-
cies to an immediate call such as our entrance
into the war has made. There has been but
one thing for the government to do and this
has been to readiust business downward from
its position of authority. This is not the best
way to readjust business, but it was the only
one available to meet emergency.
The proper readjustment of business should
come up to the government from business it
self. Business having knowledge of the gov
ernment's needs, has also knowledge Of It's
means and methods more intimate than that of
the government and thus is better quipped to
devise the best and most economic readjust-
ments When businessmen approach the gov
