Considering, There Should Have Been Mrs. Hannah Fifer, a widow, who earned her living by rentiug rooms for light housekeeping, had the reputation of being a shrewd manager and much inclined to carry economy to the farthest possible poiut. Siie was hard working withal aud seemed never to reach the end of her daily labor. On a certain day Mrs. Castle, one of the "light housekeepers," finding a surplus of time on her hands, kinu.y offered to help Mrs. Fifer out with iier over flow of work. "Well, if you feel like it, 1 wouldn't care if you'd take hold aud bake me up a couple of pies," Mrs. Fifer con ceded. "That'll tielji me a lot. There's a bowl of apple sauce that I'm afraid won't keep it it ain't used soon." After Mrs. Caustic had begun work Mrs Fifer appeared with a supplemen tary suggestion. "While you're about it," said she, "mebbv you wouldn't mind baking four pies. 'Twon't take any more ccat to ba.ke four than two, and that'll be a saving. You can make the filling hold out by having lots of juice to it." Mrs. Castle agreed to the amendment and worked away industriously until her task was accomplished, when, wearied with her labors, she retired to her own apartment. In a ahort time Mrs. 'Fifer'a small daughter, Peggy, appeared at her duor. '' Ma says,'' reported Peggy, '' that she don't b'lieve she'll be able to use all them four pies before they dry out, a"tid She wants to know if you won't, buy two of 'em off her for 20 cents and sh*'d like the 20 cents right away, 4 please.'' Mrs. Castle bought the pies, observ ing to herself with a dry smile, "She might have let me have two for 15 cents —considering.'' Youth's Com panion. FAMOUS FOR WBAIT Actreeg Tells How to Obtain It Madame Rose, the well-known actress who played on one of the leading vaudeville circuits the past winter and who is especially noted for her long, beautiful hair, in a recent interview in Chicago made the following statement: "Any lady or gentleman can promote the growth of their hair and make it soft and glossy with this simple recipe which they can mix at home. To a half pint of water add 1 oz. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and Vi oz. of glycerine. Apply to the scalp two or three times a week with tho finger tips. This is not only the finest hair grower I have ever known, but it prevents the hair from falling out, re moves dandruff and scalp humors, darkens streaked, faded gray hair and makes it soft and'glossy. The ingredi ents can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost." —Adv. HAD ECZEIA SEVEN YEARS ON HIP Also Ringworm on Hand. Could ' Not Sleep at Night. Itching and Burning.

Every taxpayer of Penn sylvania, he said, ought to have a di rect share in State College.

GOLD LETTERED SIGNS "On the matter of domestic econ omy in the American household, which, it is asserted, the housewives and the boys and girls of the family no longer practice, it is interesting to know that if economy be a lost art at home it is pursued with a great deal of care in many lines of business," remarked Henry A. Shields, of New York. "I was impressed a few months ago by the observation of a Bign painter, wtlio in formed me that he could not deliver a sign I had ordered on a certain day ibecause in the intervening time he would have the quarterly clean up day. I was curious to know what clean up day meant, and he told me. "It appears that in the making of signs a great deal of gold leaf is used, and necessarily some of it is wasted, just as it is when gold letters are placed on show windows. I had never noticed that when the painter is at work putting the leaf on he is careful to conserve all the leavings. Just so in the shops. All refuse there is care fully brushed into a pile and kept. In three months' time there will be a grent deal of what appears to be rub bish around a sign painter's shop, but the painter knows its value. This rub bish is cleaned up, stowed in bags and sent to Philadelphia, • where it is screened and the particles of gold leaf extracted. My friend informed *ie that it is not unusual to get as high as S9O out of one shipment of rubbish, all of which goes to the workmen in the shop and not to the owner."—Wash- LABOR MEN IN FAVOR OF OHIO COMPENSATION LAW Call on tie Governor and Tell Him They Becomxend Its Adoption With Amendments to Conform to the Pennsylvania Constitution Forty-eight labor men, representing every union in Pennsylvania and head ed by Frank Fenney, of Philadelphia, and John Bonner, of Tamaqua, chair man of the legislative committee of the unions, called on Governor Brumbaugh last night in the interest of workmen's compensation legislation. The Govern or met the committee in the reception room on the first floor of the Executive Mansion. 'Mr. Fenney introduced the members of the delegation and called attention to the faict that at the meeting of the labor representatives in this city during the week, Mr. Bonner was elected chair man of the legislative committee in place of Representative James iMnurer, and the conference chose James Oats, of Pittsburgh. Governor 'Brumbaugh said that he would be glad to confer with (Messrs. Bonner and Oats from time to time on legislation affecting the workingmen of Pennsylvania. Mr. Fenney informed the Governor that the labor unions of Pennsylvania at the receut conference unanimously favored the Ohio law with the necessary changes !o conform with the Pennsyl vania constitution, and went on record favoring the commission form of ad ministering compensation. Governor Brumbaugh staSed that the Republican platform called for a work men's compensation act and it is the desire of the Legislature to enact such ' a law. Ho pointed out that there are . three things that should be given con sideration above everything else. First, ! the euactment of a law that makes com- I peusation positive without any possibil ! ity of an employer avoiding this lia- I bility; set'ond, to expedite payments and I prevent litigation in the courts; third, i to conserve life and limb by making the | employer put in adequate safety de- I vices, thereby preventing accidents and the necessity for compensation. Governor Brumbaugh asked the com mittee to confer with Attorney General Brown with a view of hastening work on a fair compensation act. E. C.
