New Clothes Good as Medicine.
The best tonic for the homemaker
and mother of a family Is new clothes.
There Is not merely Joy but real
health-gi.-ing in a new bat or gown
Too many times the mother Bays,
"Anything will do for mo," so often tho
whole family comes to believo It. The
woman who knows she Is becomingly
dressed will carry herself erect and
walk with a certain spring and elas
ticity impossible to tho shabby or
dowdy woman.
It may tako considerable tact and
persuuslon on the part of the younger
members of the family to convince tho
mother past fifty that sho needs a new
rtiat Instead of a box of pills, or that
a new gown will be a better producer
of energy than a bottle of Iron, Re
member, a woman Is as old as she
wishes to be. So she should cling to
bcr youth. A wonian shouldn't get the
Idea she Is aging and she won't age.

BUSINESS ON SUNDAY CLOSING.
Heads of the big Industrial con
cerns of Chicago see a very direct re
lation between the enforcement of
the Sunday-closing law and the phys
ical and mental condition of their em
ployees on Mondays, and naturally
they are not inclined to agree with the
liquorites' caustic criticism of the pur
itanical, undemocratic law and Its en
forcement. The men who manage the
great industries tell us that Sunday
drinking has mcuiit lessened effi
ciency, decreased mental and moral
stamina, depreciated physical vigor
and the wasting of money and conse
quent worry over financial conditions.
"Our workmen now como to the
plants on Monday morning with clear
beads and rested bodies," said a fore
man of Armour and Co., tho big pack
ing house. "It was the complaint of
all packers before the saloons were
closed that many of the men either
did not show up at all on Monday or
reported with 'hangovers' that re
duced their efficiency 50 per cent dur
ing the day., and affected it for sev
eral days thereafter. Now the men
are on hand Monday morning with
steady muscles, rested bodies and
minds, fit for their tasks."
"Our workmen were all on hand last
Monday for the first time In years,"
said one of the foremen of the Illinois
Steel company, the week after the
Sunday-closing law was enforced.
"When we asked them what caused
the change they said they had noth
ing to do Sunday but rest for Mon
day. Besides, most of them bad
enough of their wages left not to need
to ask for advances before the next
week ended."
"The closing of the saloons is a boon
to Industry," said one of the depart
ment managers of' the International
Harvester works. "When the em
ployees have had time to note Its ef
fect, they will give It their heartiest
support."
"The direct effect cn the building
trades is that about 25 per cent mora
workmen were on hand last Monday
than at any time during the period
I have been handling large numbers of
workmen," said a member of the Con
tractors' Association of Painters and
Decorators.
PROSPEROUS WITHOUT LIQUOR.
Butler, Mo., Is another town which
is demonstrating that prosperity fol
lows prohibition. It is today, says the
Kansas City Star, "a better, richer
and more prosperous town than ever.
The merchants carry better stocks, the
business houses are neater, cleaner
and better; the people live In better
and more attractive homes and enjoy
life in more rational and healthful
ways. There are fewer Idle people
and merchants have fewer bad debts.
"When tho saloons were voted out
Butler had a bonded debt of something
like $20,000 on its electric light plant,
and notwithstanding the 'revenue'
from Its four saloons, it was a bard
matter to meet Interest payments, and
the liquidation of the principal seemed
a long way off. Since the closing of
tho saloons the dobt has been paid
and many needed public improvements
have been made, and all without in
creasing the tax rate one penny. In
fact the tax rate is now lower than
ever before."
MONEY GOES FOR GROCERIES.
An Interesting bit of testimony
comes from the section of Minnesota
which recently became dry through
what might be called an automatic
application of prohibition to cgion
where no election was held to settle
the question, namely, tho enforcement
of an old Indian treaty. Because of
this action there Is not now an open
saloon In Itasca county, and as a
result a marvelous reformation has
taken place. One year ago seventy
nine tons of beer were shipped In.
This year there was- no beer, but the
books show that seventy-nine tons
more of groceries were consumed at
this point than during the correspond
ing month of last year. The Minne
apolis Journal says that the records
of the mining companies, which em
ploy the large population of foreign
ers, show fewer layoffs among the
men than ever before and the stores
report larger and more profitable busi
ness from these employees.
A WISE CZAR.
A German general, taken prisoner,
related at Petrograd tho following re
marks of the kaiser: "I was ccrtiln
of crushing the Russians when they
were freely given to drink, but now
that they are sober the task is much
more difficult!" And he added in a
melancholy tono, "Who on earth could
have foreseen the antialcohol coup
d'etat perpetrated by Nicholas II?"

PROHIBITION IN ARIZONA.
Arizona's prohibition law went Into
effect January, 1913. A booklet issued
in the state detailing results tells of de
crease in criminal costs and increase
in building and In bank deposits.
In one county the increase in the
value of taxable household goods Is
nearly half the taxable value of the
liquor stock last year. The value of
household goods plus the value of au
tomobllos purchased since prohibition
became effective almost equals the
total amount of liquor stocks la that
county In the year.
