VANITY AND SPECTACLES.
The old Plea That Wearing Glasses
 Makss One Look Aged.

One of the popular objections to wearing glasses is that wearing glasses makes one look old.
 This was true In the days when they were worn only to help poor sight and chiefly by the elderly. Now very large percentage of wearers of Specta- cles are children, and the wearing of spectacles is no longer a mark of ad- vanCed age. It Is not a sufficient ex- cuse for a lady to say that glasses would make her look old
 Moreover, wearing glasses Is one Of the best preServers of Il youthful ap- pearance. This Is because prolonged eye strain causes wrinkles to appear prematurely and gives the COuntenance a strained. anxious. tired. drawn. cross look, which Is very characteristic and is far more to be avoided from the point of view of appearance than the slight diSdguremcnt of glasses.
 Indeed. so far from being unbeComng, there are some types Ot face to which glasses just add the finishing touch.- Charles Phelps Cushing in Worlds Work

ONE WEAK SPOT
Many Skagway People Have a Weak
 Part and Too Often It's the Back

Many people have q weak spot.
 Too often it's a bad back.
 Twinges follow every sudden twist.
 Dull aching keeps up, day and night.
 Backache is often from weak kidneys.
 In such cases g kidney medicine is needed.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys.
 For backache and urinary ills.
 Good proof of merit in the follow ing statement.
 James Cubbon, mgr. Victor Clean ing and Dye Works, 1908 Yesler Way, Seattle, wash, says: My kidneys were in bad shape and every time I bent over it seemed as tho my back would break. The kidney secretions were unnatural, being scanty. painful and irregular in passage. My work as a tailor kept me bent over and that made me suf- fer all the more. 1 was lame and stifF all over and could hardly straighten up. It wasn't any time before Doan's Kidney Pills had helued me and I was cured of every sign of the trouble"

The results are that thousands of children, in England are without teachers or schools. At least 150,- 900 children between eleven and thirteen have left school to go to work. Juvenile delinquency in Eng land has increased at least 34 per cent since the war began. In Der lin in 1915, there were twice as many crimes committed by children as in 1914. Oppose all attempts to break down the school system in your vicinity, either by relaxing en- fcrcement of compulsory education laws CT by cutting down school funds. Arnold Bennett said in England, under like circumstances; Education is the very last thing we ought ta economize in Oppose all attempts to break down the la bor laws of your state, either by giving young children special per mits 10 work, or by exempting cer- tain establishments from the laws limiting hours of labor.

She asked an enormous price for them. and when the monarch refused she flew into rage. threw three of the books into the tire and still asked the same price fov the remainder.

HARD WORK WINS.
(s lssthe staff,oT Life on tho Hard Road
 10 Sucoesa.

10 SuCCOaes
 Shr Frederick Treves, a noted British surgeon, said recently that hard work counts for more than brillianey. If he had to submit to major operation, he added, he would choose a careful, hard worker rather than brilliant surgeon.
 These remarks have excited some controversy. But, after all, do they contain any real diSparagement or bril- liancy? BrinianCy, like genius, is an accident. It is born, not made. The world would be dull. flat plane intel lectually If it did not throw up orh- liant people. Hard work would never have given us Shakespeare, Beethoven, Keats, Helne, Poe, Shelley.
 But hard work is the staff of life. On it we can count, on 1t We can rely. Hard work collects data, assimiRtes them, verifes brilliant hypotheses, con- meets and completes truths received in flashes
 When the brilliant man Is also hard worker he conQuers the world. But the slow conquests of hard work by men of talent and ability are by no means neg lIgible. We can train children to ap- preciate work and method, efficiency, order and industry. When they hap pen to be brilliant into the bargain the reward of hard work will be core spondingly greater.
 Woe to them who expect brilliancy alone to give them the success that Is worthy and enduring.-ChicagO Herald.

RED GROSS BALL AT HAYNES BI6
 SUCCESS

Saturday night a Red Cross dance was given in the Haines Arctic Bro thprhood hall, at which a large and enthusiastic crowd attended. The good people of Haines were excep- t:oaally cordial, and judging from the number of people who attended the pal, the Red Cross has netted a handsome sum.
 Early in the evening a supper was served consisting of cake, cof- fee, sandwiches, and pickles; the best part of it being there was plenty for all. Following the re- pest the music struck up again and lovers of the light fantastic toe" danced until early in the morning.
 The Haines native band furnish ed the music, and at intervals Dr. Keller gave selections on his violin which were we'll appreciated. Many boys from the fort were over and all helped to make the Red Cross ball 8 grand success.

The cheapest eating in the world Is rice and peanuts, measured by the cal ories. which constitute the only real test. There is no attention paid to the value of food in practical living. Our sole guide is what hits our appetite. We want what wed ruther," as the poor woman told Jane Addams.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLMENT
 AND THE WAR

"EuroLmeuJ uu American public schools has been affected by the war, put uot to the extent of making it less than last year, according to figures compiled by the Department ot the Interior through the Bureau of Edufatiou. Figures from 1+ll cities and 6g6 counties CT districts show au increase of ctose tO the formal amount Of 2ia per cent in elementary schools. Iu high schools however. the jucrease is only one fourth oI the usual sl2 per cent.
 Such increase as there is in high school eurollmeut is caused by the girl students. Fewer boys are enrolled this year in every class in high school except the fourth; apparently there is healthy ten- dency for boys iu the senior year 10 remain and graduate.
 In city elementary schools the iucrease ill enrolment is actually somewhat above normal; but in city hign schools there is d marked fall ing off, especially among the boys.
 Country schools show some gains over last year both in elemeutary and liga school enrOIlmeut, but not as great as would be expected un- der normal conditions. Rural high schools show increases for both boys cad girls, despite the war. ,"
 The foregoing quotation from a bulletin of the L. s. Bureau of Edu- cation is most gratifying to all wh are interested iu keeping the schools cf America up to high satndar5 during this period of na- t4Onal crisis. In time of war chil- dreu should be the last to suffer. The National Labor Committee re- gently :ssued 8 pamphlet from whic the following quotations are taken:
 At tha present time tin Great Britaiu) when war is destroying so much of it's best manhood, the na- tion js under special obligation to secure that the rising generation grows up strong and hardy, both in body and character. It is necessary to guard Lot only against immediate ,Dreakdc=2, but also against the imposition of strains that may stunt future growth and development
 Tn Europe, in the stress of sud- den warfare the children were for the moment forgotten. h Great Britain, for instance, some of the first war economics were in the educational system. school build ings were taken over for military purposes; teachers enlisted; re- pairs, building, appropriations, and supplies were cut down; evening schools, medical inspection, school dentistry. and free lunches were stopped or cut down. And the age limits fer schooling were changed, so that 3OO.OOO little children five or under, who had been in school, were turned out. while thousands of chil6rrn of eleven or twelve were excused from school to go to work.

Tn. Way Not to Keep Young.

Our Cousin Ena is only forty years old, but she doesn't look to be a day under sixty. Worry has been the cause. She has worried almost con- stantly for fear she would look old and that her husband wouldn't Ike her. She has dieted herself In order to remain young. She never eats as much ss she wants or the kind of food she wants. she seems to think that pun Ishing herself in this manner will keep on old age. And she sleeps with view of remaining young. She goes 10 bed at 6 o'clock every afternoon. and she remains in bed until : o'clock in the morning. The remaining eleven hours of the twenty-four she spends in try ing to rub youth and beauty into her cheeks.-Claude Calan in Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
