In discussions as to the value Of the
horse in war, both in England and
America, it has been decided that he
still has useful function. "In q re-
cent debate in the House Of Com
mons the champion Of the horse in
warfare declared that a fully motor
able affair."" says the Louisville Times,
"since its mechanical columns were
shown in recent maneuvers to be diff
ficult to control, cumbersome and an
easy mark for opposing alrmen."
Therefore the Louisville paper be-
lieves that 'the horse that, in the
days of Job, scented the battle from
afar, will no doubt hear the tumult
and the shouting Of the captains for
some time to come" In the United
States there was recent discussion in
Congress over allowing the appropri-
alton of 1895, 900 for horses for the
Army, many Senators believing that
the day Of the mounted soldier is
over" according to the Louisville
Herald Post. Senator Wadsworth,"
continues the Herald Post, pointed
out that cavalry will always be need
ed, particularly when an Army is
doing police work. Cavalry regiments
patrol the Mexican border and ride
here and there in the Philippines to
preserve order. Our little Army of
peace times would lose half its effi-
cheney" without the proper quota Of
horses. 1.-THE Senate voted the appro-
priation," continues this paper. there

ply Of gold"
The quotation cited merely indicates
the quality and method Of study ap.
piled to the Bryan period by Mark
Sullivan. and later to the Roosevelt
period. It is the method that is the
chief concern here. BY way Of It the
author sets q study in economics that
creates a public mood. This mood in
turn takes effect In the actions of the
public, in it's acceptance Of certain
leaders, in its choice Of certain poll
cies. A most illuminating study of
economies, a. concrete study taking
prompt effect in the mind and mood
Of the collective public. A reasonable
and intelligible consideration giving
foundation to politics other than that
Of personal ambition; giving objective
proof of the interrelations existing be-
tween natural resources and super.
imposed political theory. We come to
see, under the guidance OF this head
master in the newspaper school, how
this potent public mood was created
by diminished free land. by depleted
gold resources, by highly productive
silver mines, by rapidly augmented
population, by the rise Of trusts and
monopolies and the other familiar
though hitherto unrelated aspects Of
the period under consideration. And
we see, with equal force, how this
situation took effect in politics and
political leaders. BY such a method
economies. even to the average reader,
becomes an ineligible force and not
tumble Of hit-or-miss facts. To, this
same reader politics becomes the Sc
quence of certain basic economic con-
ditions. This school Of politics or
that one rises rather out Of the point

Tinted Engraving.
Tinted, engraved stationery Is a
Partisan fancy that came to TINS
country and which is liked because
of it's distinction. The cost of such
illuminated paper makes it decided
ly exclusive. However, here again
deft fingers can transform hlgh-
grade paper into de luxe stationery.
Some very clever designs with direc-
tions for transferring them to let
ter paper and for illumining ana
accenting them to give tinted en-
graved effects can be had by send
ing in q request with a selt-ad-
dressed and stamped envelope di-
rected to me. The number of these
directions with designs is limited,
so if wanted, please send immedl-
ately. There are three designs. each
one charming and "Frenchy." BY
outlining any one of the designs on
the stationery, using very me
India ink pen and India ink, the
effect is similar to engraved die

city illumined engraving is simu-
lated.
Matching Tints.
If in addition to using the motifs
on the paper the envelopes are lined
with paper that matches a color in
the motif or blends esthetically with

1776.--The sudden departure of Con,

but John took up the idea as from
time to time he glanced at Helena
and then glanced away.
She did have q new personality.
She was not so restrained. He rather
fancied that to know Helena now
would be to know some one quite diff
ferent. This was what Mark Sands
had done to her. And so it happened
that he was no more the right mate
for her than she was for him. a nice
blow to his vanity.
Mrs. Ford and Dorrie strolled in
about and Natalie rose and went
into the house. Fred followed her.
He did not seem willing to let her out
of his sight for minute. They re-
turned in short time, Fred bearing

On it were sparkling amber-colored

! wiches of anchovy paste and pate de

minutes before Johns train left, and

, clamation. Good Heavens, look at

Christmas Cards.

Every one sends Christmas cards
nowadays. Some of us send out a few
and some Of us send out dozens. The
point is that all OF us do send some,
and all Of us must buy some. Shop
ping for greeting cards is not mere
matter of taste. One must know what
is suitable, proper and in good form.
Personal cards may be bought in
quantities Of 25, so, rs. 100 or more.
Their cost varies with the quality Of
card and design that you choose and
the quantity that you order. If you
have a name plate of your own 1t may
be used on the cards, and thus effect a
considerable saving. 1t Is advisable to
order in quantity IL possible because
one saves from cents to cents a
card by doing SO.
Many women like to select individ-
ual cards, feeling that 1t Is a more
satisfactory way to express ones per-
sonal feelings. In that event ones
cards may cost upward OF 5 cents. In
cluded with the card there should be
an envelope for mailing purposes.
All Christmas cards may be classi-
fed as personal or informal. OF the
two kinds mentioned above the former
may be sent to an entire list of friends
and acquainances If the greeting Is
general in nature, and the latter IL the
greeting applies particularly to the re-

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. 1. n. has a tiny babe Of 6
weeks who has his wakeful hours at
$50 PM, just when he should be
going to sleep for the night. She
thinks he sleeps too long In the after
noon. She would like to break him
of this bad habit so that she can
put her 2-year-old boy and the baby
to sleep at the same time.
The 2-year-old Is still taking bot
tie at bedtime. What can be done
about this?
Answer.-A baby that young needs
no such long hours of wakefulness
as from $50 to 10, SO that the cause
must lie elsewhere than in too much
sleep (which is seldom a grievance
among mothers).
Perhaps his nursing at 6 Is not
as satisfying as the others during
the day. You are tired at this time
having taken care of two babies all
day. and the baby may get far less
than his stomach demands in order
to make him sleep peacefully. So
he cries until the next feeding time.
Try a Complementary feeding after
the o'clock nursing and see II this
won't help. Give one-third boiled
milk and two-thirds boiled water and
Tiny Dit OF sugar. Prepare ounces
Of this and let the baby take as much
| as he needs to satisfy him.
Also 1t might be wise to give the
baby his bath at this hour instead
of in the morning. Change his
clothes and sponge him off In the
morning. but reserve his tub bath un-
tn night. Babies always take a good
nap after a bath and this would start
him to sleeping again at this time.
The older child should be weaned
from his bottle at 2 years. He must
be taught to regard himself as a big
boy now and old enough to take all of
his milk from a cup. Perhaps the old
method of allowing him to break his
bottle so that he knows there are no
more bottles to drink from will appeal
to his sense of the picturesque and
typify his transition from babyhood
to boyhood. You may have one night
of distress, when he will temporarily
forget and cry for his bottle, but one
must struggle through ouch periods,
because allowing a child so old to con-
tinue with bottle is really retarding
his development from one natural
stage to the next.

White Arms.

II your arms are not as smooth and
white as you would like them to be.
these treatments may help:
Daily rub the elbows thickly with
cleansing cream, and let 1t stay on
while you wash your face or while
you are bathing. In this case, the
hot water in the tub will wash of a
little of the cream before you are
ready to treat the arms. but even so.
the skin will have time to take up
some of the oils in the cream. and to
become soft as a result. Then, when
you scrub the arms with a flesh
brush you will scrub off cream and
a good deal of dirt and CRIME that all
elbows collect.
The scrubbing should be vigorous,
and the skin turn red as a result OF
the friction of the brush. Use a cold
cream soap, or CASTLE. or any super.
fatted, first quality soap. Rinse with
hot water, and then with cool. If you
have good hand lotion. either an
almond emulsion, or a glycerine and
cucumber mixture, OR anything to
keep the hands smooth and free OF
redness or chapping, use little OF
this on the elbows and then dry and
powder.
This daily treatment can be used
when you dress for the evening, and
find that your arms or elbows do not
look well enough for a sleeveless eve-
ming gown. 1t is a good temporary

the skin is as follows: Take ordinary

rub this over the arms. Rub 1t well
into the skin and let 1t dry on 1t

for the longer 1t stays the more 1t
will bleach. Then rinse 1t off with
warm water and use cream just on
the elbows.
Sylvia B.-Your oily skin comes
from digestive troubles of some kind.
Try eating more fruit. especially acid
fruit taken a full hour before a meal.
Very cold water as last rinse after

to tone the action of the glands in the
skin. Omit the rouge, and use plain
rice powder, and any fine grade
soap.
