TRUSTING TO LUCK.

Is there really such a thing as luck or is it just another of those faIla- cies of the human mind?
 The woman who has gone into the business world, during or since the war, trusting to luck' to be able to adapt herself to anything that strikes her fancy, whether she has had the proper training or not, is making a great mistake, f she hopes to stay in business.
 It is astonishing how many girls who are leaving school before they have finished, in order to "drop into sonething.'' They absolutely refuse to discuss a vocational training. They ex- pect to "set the world on fire,'' with out training and too often for their good, fond fathers and mothers agree with them in this idea.
 Employers are becoming so used to women without experience or train ing applying for jobs that they take it as a matter of course. Experience has to be gained at one time or an other, certainly, but initial training is also requisite. The women who think they can do the work they want to without bothering to tra1n'' are mak- ing a grave error.
 No matter 1lov willing you may be to learn, good Kfaining is much more to be desired than just simple trust ing to luck' if you are going to ven ture into the world of business.

3 9-16 of 1c

3 9-16 of 1c or, to make it round figures, call it 4c., which would be the actual in- creased cost of the leather in a pair of shoes under a freight-rate advance Of 25 per cent. Allowing 1 cent (which is exhorbitant for the pur- pose) to cover the actual increased freight-rates on the other material in the shoe, the maximum increased cost would be cents a pair, or 1 per cent on a pair of s5 shoes.
 Assuming that the entire move- ment of hide, leather and shoes was in a district where the freights had been advanced 40 per cent instead of 25 per cent the increased cost still would be only Sc. on a pair of shoes. If this sum is doubled cover in creased freight on coal, new machin- cry and other things which are used in shoe factory. the maximum in crease on a pair of shoes would be in the neighborhood of 16c. a pair, or per cent. on an sS pair of shoes.
 2 Per Cent On Production.
 ''The same principle applies to meat, eggs and butter, and practical ly everything else in which transpor- attion by rail enters to any extent.
 ''The s1,500,ooo. advance in freight and passenger rates may seem a huge sum, but, when it is considered that this is not more than per cent on the annual production of the farms, factories and mines in the United States, a proper prospec- tive can be obtained of how slighly the adIHnce affcts the cost and price of any particular commodity"

ASSURING THE SUGAR SUPPLY.

A sugar famine is not merely an annoyance to the sweet tooth crowd who demand rich desserts and who tI1rong the soda fountains It in terferes with the customary process of food conservation by canning. Many families will put up no fruits this fall owing to the sugar scarcity.
 The United States government pro noted a great effort to teach women and girls how to can fruits and vegetables. Clubs were organized and propaganda was distributed to every home. Then when the women folks tried to carry out the instruction thus given, they suddenly found they couldn't do it. There was no sugar, or it had gone up to a prohibitive price.
 It was much like orga mixing a great army, and then suddenly discovering that no one had thought to order any powder to put into the guns.
 The politicians will do a lot of arguing to prove who was respon- sible. It is a fair question, and one that should be debated. But the housewives are less interested in that matter. They want to know what is being done to make sure that such l a shortage will never occur again.
 The government should regard the provision of a sufficient sugar supply as one of the biggest jobs it has on hand. Perhaps the Cuban sugar growers will not come across with a fair price. All right, let them be told that the United States government | will go the limit to make this coun- try independent of Cuba. The beet sugar industry is capable of develop 6 70 | independent of spectators from out side. The people must have their sugar for both health and economy Never more must fruit crop be all 1 lowed to go to waste because there is not sugar enough to preserve it.

THE SERVICE OF PUBLICITY.

When one of the merchants puts an advertisement in the Tihhes he accom- plisheS two results. A-
 First, he interests the home public in his business. They form the inn pression that he is a hustler. They want to see what he has to say about his goods, and subsequently to visit his store.
 But secondly, he interests the wider public outside his town. If you look over the newspapers from some dis tant city, and find that the mer- chants are not advertising in those journals, you form the impression that it is a dead town. It would never occur to you to go there to trade.
 A paper like the Times circulates through a wide extent of territory outside of it's home town. Many of the subscribers to it, also take and read papers from other cities. They compare the business news in those papers. If the Times has @ better run of advertising than those from other places they will come here to trade. If the paper in those other towns show a better line of advertis- ing, they will go to these other places.
 Also such a paper as the Times is compared quite carefully with the | sheets in bigger centers. Our stores do not pretend to rival l the metropolitan store in floor space. But they do business for a great deal less money, and by use of publicity, i they can underseu them. If they i make that fact clear by advertising | a lot of money that now goes to the 1 big centers will stay at home. A newspaper containing good line | of advertising, makes it's home town 1 look like a live one, and spreads its reputation far and wide as 3. hustIne place.

PUBLIC WARNED OF PR0FlTEERINC a2
 ON NEW RATES

New York, Aug. 12-Dec1aring that the authorized increase in freight rates will, for example, legdumately add but from five to sixteen cents to the cost of a pair of shoes, Charles D. Orth. president of the National Security League, issued a warning to the public today to beware of prof. teering as a result of the new sched- ules. MT. Orth stated that there are undoubtedly many interruptions re- tai1ers who will imam ediatelY use the new rates an excuse for making large increases in the price of every day mmodities.
 MT. Orth's statement reads:
 s'Used as Excuse"
 'Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.' For which reason, the National Security League wishes to warn the people that the increased freight rates recently authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission do not justify any rise in the prices of most of the things which the peo- pie use. There is great danger, in the opinion of the League, that the freight rate increase will be used as an excuse or carnouhage for still further advancing, the High Cost of Living. To many people it will sound not only credible, but convincing, if shop keepers say they must advance the price on eggs or shoes, because the freight charges have been in creased from 25 to 40 per cent. Talk ing the latter an example, it will be seen that, as a matter of fact, the increase in freight rates might justify an advance of between five and six teen cents on each pair of shoes. The explanation of this is as follows:
 Shoes as Example.
 3.There are. four freight 1novem ents Of the leather in a pair of shoes. (a) The hide from the stock farm to
 the slaughter-house.
 (b) The hide from the slaughter
 house to the tanner.
 Co The leather from the tanner to
 the shoe-factory.
 (d) The shoes from the shoe-fac ctory
 to the store which sells them.
 "As nearly as freight-rates on an average haul can be approximated, each one of these movements costs, at the old rates 75c per 100 lbs, or 34c- per pound. An increase of 25 epr cent. in freight rates would therefore increase freights IS 34c per 100 lbs, or 3-16c. per pound Assuming that five pounds of hide, equal to about four pounds of leather, go into a pair of shoes, and that a completed, pair of shoes weighs 4 pounds, the increased cost of same resulting from 25 per cent. in- crease in freight-rates would be: (a) lbs. at 3-16c per h., -5-16 of 1c (b) lbs. at 316c per lb., 15-16 of l. (c) lbs. at 316c per h., 34 of 4c (d) lbs. at 3-16c per h., 34 of 1c to which add. for

LADY ANNE HAIKET.

Surgery is hardly considered woman's profession even in these days of feminine achievements, but still back in the seventeenth century Lady Anne Halket had acquired such great skill as a surgeon that the most eminent professional men in Great Britain and on the continent, as well as numerous invalids of various ranks, came to her in search of ad- vice. Lady Anne, being a staunch royalist, suffered considerably along with King Charles. She was born at London, on January 4, 1922, and died in 1899.

DIAMANTE EAINI.

Among the most noted of Ita1y's poets was Diamante Faini, whose maiden name was Medaglia. This tall ented woman was born in Roako, a village dn the neighborhood of Bres- chia. Early in life she showed signs of genius, and when she had reached the age of fifteen she already had written several poems which won considerable admiration from the literary world. The academies of Unanimi in Italy, of Ardetti, in Pa dua, and of Arcadi, in Rome, were proud to inscribe her name among their members. She died in 1770, at salo.

DURABLE QUALITY USED FOR FALL
 NEGLIGEES

Negiigees with material of the dur able quality are being featured this season. While white was predonli- nant last year, there is a great deal of color. flesh, lavender and blue in vogue for the new styles.
 Scanoping all around the edges, which has always been featured, gains added interest from further trim in the shape of inset medallions of Irish chochet lace, and h1et cas- lngs or eyelets for ribbon, as on numbers that show the Efnpire waistline. There is the characteris- tic amount of embr roidery work, done after the idea of the French hand work, with possibly slightly less eye let work, than was noted last sea son.
 Much stress is laid on the two- piece pajamas in the collection, one scalloped all around the edge, and with a side front buttoning, made possible by a gi1et arrangement.
 According to comment here, the step-in chemise is gaining in popu- larity, and they show the same de- sign which they introduced last win ter-a garment cut as wide as the usual petticoat combination. A new number is one designed from a T TeICH IlOQel, d SoIM- M-HtIed com D1na- tion, therefore requiring no draw rib bon at the top, the model buttons part way down the back.
 There is interesting series of colored batiSteS, with sca11oped or batt1emented edges embroidered in self color. Crocheted edges finish other numbers often in color also.
 Many of the styles are made up in sets especially appropriate for ho1i- day use. While for the most part embroidery is done on the fabric it. self, some numbers show it in em- broidered medallions instead.

CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor Reeder:-

oSssI d|1Es1oI tNSSueI-
 Pardon me for coming to you so soon after your recent kindness re- garding my son, Gout the unexpected success which followed the carrying out of your suggestions has been great that can think of no other
 place to go in which I shall feel so great a degree of confidence as to the
 good old Home Hea lth Club.
 My son, as you may recall, was af- fhcted with what the doctors politely
 called ''petit-maI." or in plain E>ng-
 fish, little fits, a mild form of epilepsy and also with eneuresiS or bed wet
 ting. From both of these terrible conditions he Is now, am so happy
 to say, entirely free and has been for
 over six months.
 The present trouble is a severe case
 of piles and my husband Is the suf
 ferer. We did not hke etc trouble you but OUT doctor here has been unable
 to relieve him and now says that the only cure is surgical
 To this he simply refuses to submit One of his sisters died while under going an opera tion which is now con sidered unnecessary and So I do not blame him. Can he be cured or even helpede We will Goe so gratifed for your reply, etc, etc.

The original or predb7Dosing cause is constipation and it is not the kind of constipation that is relieved by pills or other laxatives. The trouble usually starts with neglect of natures calls and a failure to observe fixed habits regarding the evacuation of the colon.
 The result is difficult to describe in such a brief reply as must make,
 but among the symptoms are those of o-Intoxication or self-poisoning
 in the colon, straining, irritation. then la strfcture of the sphin cter-ani and piles or henorrhoids.
 I have written you g. personal letter
 detailing the method of practical home treatment, which he must fol- low and which, if followed, will soon effect a complete cure. Diet will con- stitute a. large portion of his treat ment-
