SUPREMACY OF MAN
AT STAKE IN HOLLAND
Women in Land of Windmiis and
Canals Making a Strong Light for
Rights.

The Hague. Dec 8-(Corresond-
enee OF the Associated Press-The
ideals and ideas of Dutch women, for
centuries confined to children, kitch-
en- and church have undergone a
change and the daughters OF the land
OF windmills and canals are making q
strong fight for their rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for Improvement of the
conditions OF women. With the re-
vision of the Dutch constitution last
year, women obtained full suffrage
and the result is that now there are
women in nearly every town council
Realizing, however, that the posses
sion of the vote alone does not decide
the lot of women, the promoters OF
the movement are now seeking to
bring about changes in the laws and
regulations which discriminate
against the sex economically and so.

STANDARD LOAF OF BREAD
Suggested BY the Vermont Commits
sion Of Weiahts and Measures.

The bakers in Vermont have re.
ceired letter from the commissioner
OF weights and measures relative TO
the weight of bread The letter
which is self-explanatory reads as
follows:
The net weight contained law
passed by the last legislature requires
that the net weight is to be marked
on all bread. 80
AS I understand it the paper has
to be printed before it is waxedy and
the weight cannot be stamped on the
paper after 1t is waSed
THE continual increase in cost of
-four makes it imperative that the
bakers must cut the weight Of the
loaf or increase the price This de-
partnent, so far as it is able, would
like to work in harmony with the bust
ness interests of the state, and we are
anxious not to work any hardship on
anyone. However, the laws of our
state must be enforced.
Il am writing the bakers in the
state to get their idea whether it
would not be better to have the loaf
remain uniform in weight and in
crease or lower the price as condi
lions demand.
My reason for suggesting this is
to save any loss which might be occa
stoned by changing the weight and
having on hand quantity OF papers
marked with a given weight other
than the one delivered. 1t seems to
me that it would be better to have a
standard weight loaf all over the
state say, one pound, one and one half
pound and two-pound, and then there
would be no loss in paper.
We would like your idea before
we make any ruling. would suggest
a conference of the bakers at some
central point to agree on this matter.
A representative of this department
would be pleased to be present at
such meeting"

AS things are now. a Dutch woman
has TO suffer almost anything from a.
tryannical husband and nothing short
of adultery or bodily i'll usage can rid
her of his despotism.
One of the greatest obstacles these
women leaders have to overcome is
the conservatism OF the old.fashioned
women, who, especially in the rural
districts, form q great part of the
population But the women who are
lighting for the betterment of their
sex hope in the end to succeed in con.
quering this prejudice"

BALD HEADS.

They held a banquet In Connecticut,
and $50 sat down to tables covered
with flowers and the best things to
eat. There never was a more lively
company assembled. A shining pate
is the index of smiling mind. Some
fool people think a bald head is ten
der subject. not to be referred to. espe-
cially in the company of ladies, but
that is an unmitigated falsehood, says
Ohio State Journal. We know man
who cultivated a long lock of hair.
which he combed over his dome to hide
his badness, and that habit he kept
up for a while, and all this time he
seemed to have miserable little sor-
row on his mind. But one day he
whacked off that lock and appeared
with FURNISHED dome before the world.
From that time he was happy. His
bald head made him SO. We some
times think that men with great
shocks Of hair are peculiarly miser-
able. But they should not despair, for
some day they will be balder and wiser
than they are now.

We are astOnished to learn, when we
take the pains to look the matter up,
that the twenty Latin-American repub-
lies embrace a population Of nearly
9OOOO.OOO people; that these people
write books and paint pictures; that
they have built some of the most mag
most beautiful and best-lighted cities
in the world. We learn that the better
families have been in the habit Of edu-
eating their young men in the capitals
Of Europe, and that they are much
more familiar with London. Paris and
Berlin than they are with New York.
Isn't it about time we turned our eyes
southward?

LUKE McLUKE SAYS

A doll-faced woman may hold a
man for while, but it takes a
really good woman to hold him
for life.
A man should be ashamed of
the fact that he is weak enough
to hate another man. But he isn't.
He is proud of his hatred.
No one wants the friendship of
a man who wants your friendship
for what it is worth to him.
After all, perhaps a woman
merely kisses another woman to
taste what brand of enameline the
other woman uses.
The reason why you should do
your best all the time is because
your best isn't so doggone good.
Once in while a transparent
chiffon waist reveals an under
vest that reminds you of the fact
that some folks are boycotting
the laundries since the laundries
increased their prices 10 per cent.
Another reason why laws are
not popular is because laws are
always agin something you want
to do.
And whole lot of married men
can tell you that there are a whole
lot of female kaiscrs in this coun-
try.
When a man talks about some
thing being "cheap as dirt" ask
him if he has tried to buy any city
real estate recently.
Do no squawk about your tough
luck. Just think of the number of
times you should have landed in
Jail and didn't, and be thankful.
The trouble with the fellow who
wears ath-a-letic underwear is
that he uses it for a lounging robe
and nightgown in hot weather.
We never knew of anything
that was postponed until tomor-
row that could not just as well
have been done today.
The thought of the fatted calf
st home is what keeps many a
prodigal husband away from
home.

Evening

l love the restful cleaning,
give it quite boost; then weary
birds are homing, and roosters go
to roost. Then all the strident
racket of workday hours is done;
the toiler's drawn his packet of
green, unlifting mon; and to his
humble cottage he in the dusk re-
pairs, and grumbles at the pot
tage, and breaks lot of chairs.
Oh, it is sweet and restful when
evening shadows fall, and 1 pos
sess breast full of gratitude for
all; the fact that Pm existing is
soothing to me nerves; Pm wot-
ting and I'm visiting that life has
lovely curves. 1t is time of
beauty when day is worn and
gray. and stars line up for duty.
and Luna cuts some hay. when all
the world is quiet, indulging in
repose. and there's no din or riot
that busy daytime knows. Oh
then the heart grows mellow, the
bosom full of peace; man knows
that strife is yellow. that bicker-
ings should cease. There's some
thing in the twilight, with spang-
led stars above, that throws a
sort of high light on kindliness
and love; | feel mighty longing
to go forth and embrace the peo-
pie who are thronging before my
dwelling place.-Walt Mason.

GETTING BACK LOST PEACE
"Have you lost your peace with
God? If so, where and how did
you lose it? The discovery is
easy to make. Bent knee, upturn-
ed face, and questioning heart
will quickly bring the knowledge.
When it comes, face the issue
squarely and honestly. Do not
finch. Do not temporize. Do
not argue. Do not shilly-shally.
Do not spare yourself, Remem-
Der that God cannot be deceived
or Knocked or turned aside. The
way back to peace is a very
straight road.
"If you attempt to deal with
your sin by any other method
than that of confession and frank
acknowledgement, you will never
get past it, and whichever way
you look it will still be there. The
best, wisest, and only sensible
thing for man to do who desires
the restoration of Gods grace is
to unhesitatingly and unreserv-
edly take Gods verdict against
himself. If we confess our SINS
says John, not belittling or ignor-
ing or denying or excusing, but
if we confess he is faithful and
just to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteous-
ness The sin may not seem to
be large, as men estimate sin, but
all sins are extremely deadly.
Men have lost their grip upon
God by keeping an extra five-cent
piece given them by mistake in
change, by slipping into the NOV
les on Sunday night or patroniz-
ing an ice cream parlor on the
Lords day, or letting a Sunday
newspaper come into the home,
or by playing a social game of
cards, or by ,uttering an unkind
and un-Christian remark about an
acquaintance, or by refusing some
definite task of Christian service,
or by withholding more than is
meet in ones support of the work
of the Christian church.
There is no need for expecting
peace until one acknowledge his
transgression.' however small or
great he thinks it to be, and undo
the wrong of the past as far as it
lies in his power. Repentance
must be genuine. Confession must
be sincere and full. Faith must
be absolute. But the possession
of the deep, full. and satisfying
peace of God within the heart re-
pays a thousandfold any effort
made to secure it."
DORSEY NEWBORN,
Minister.

A MYSTERY

The river hemmed with living trees
Wound through its meadows green;
A low blue line of mountains showed
The open pines between.
One sharp. tall peak above them all
Clear into sunlight sprang;
I saw the river of my dreams
The mountains that sang!
No clue of memory led me on
But we'll the ways knew;
A feeling of familiar things
With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag =;
Could lean the blasted pine;
Not otherwise the maple hold
Aloft its red ensign.
So UP the long and shorn foothills
The mountain road should creep;
So, green and low, the meadow fold
Its red-haired kline asleep.
The river wound as 1t should wind,
Their place the mountains took:
The white torn fringes of their cloud
Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne'er before that rivers rim
Was pressed by feet of mine,
Never before mine eyes had crossed
That broken mountain line.
A presence strange at once and known.
Walked with me my guide;
The skirts of some forgotten life ~
Trailed noiseless at my side. tn
Was It a dim remembered dream?
Or glimpse through aeons old?
The secret which the mountains kept
The river never told.
But from the vision ere 1t passed
A tender hope I drew. -
And. pleasant as a dawn of spring, NJ
The thought within me grew.
That love would temper every change,
And soften all surprise.
And. misty with the dreams of earth,
The hills of heaven arise.
