question of right living with all the term

is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy

be made to contribute to living aright.

Bm Swindling and Extortion.
hlef -jg customs 0ffleiaig estimate that
hp the government has been swindled to
the extent of from $8,000,000 to $10,
000,000 In crooked Importations in the
last 10 years. By means of prosecu
tions now under way these officials
tiopo to recover at least $2,000,000 and
to put a number of the swindlers In
prison. A good effort, truly. But, on
the other hand, the government,
through the tariff law, indirectly legal
izes extortion to the extent of hun
dreds of millions annually extortion
that would be swindling or robbery
but for the government sanction It
enjoys. In the matter of sugar duties
alone this tariff permits the sugar
trust to exact 2 cents perpound more
for Its standard sugar In this country
than It asks In London for the same
grade 2 cents a pound on 600,000,000
pounds a year. Kansas City Star.

Every Reader Will Concede the Tratk
of This Statement.
One who suffers with backache or
any form of kidney trouble wants
cure, not merely tem-
i porary benefit. Re?.
Maxwell S. Rowland,
of Toms River, N. J.,
makes a statement In
this connection that
Is worth attention.
Says he: "I was sud
denly taken with an
attack of kidney
trouble, had severt
pain In my back
and loins and was
generally run down.
Doctors were not
helping me, so I be
gan using Doan's
Kidney Pills. They brought m
prompt relief, and as 1 continued tak
ing them the pains In my back disap
peared and. the kidneys were restored
to normal condition."

Would Prevent Suicide.
The acting prefect of police for St
Petersburg has applied to the minis
try of the Interior for permission to
apply restrictive and precautionary
measures to the sale of certain drugs
on account of their widespread em
ployment for purposes of suicide. Self
destruction, so prevalent in Russia
during the era of demoralization fol
lowing the revolution, has become
epidemic in St. Petersburg, as many
as 20 cases in one day occurring frequently.

In Favor of Girls.
In the late afternoon they come, tn
thousands, out of stuffy offices and
crowded stores and noisy factories.
They've been there all day long, pa
tiently taking "dictation" from fret
ful, perspiring, Irritating men, or try
ing to satisfy a thousand querulous
voices over the telephone, or decipher
ing the wishes of Impatient or unde
cided women across the counter, or
with twinkling fingers guiding and
feeding Insatiable machines.
Their day's work over, they come
out. Weary they may be, but who
would suspect weariness In these
straight, Independent, firm stepping
figures? Warm they may be, but one
might marvel at the visions of cool
Bess they look In their clean, well
fitting gowns of white, and pink, and
mauve. Troubled they may be, but
the sight of them Is balm for other
people's troubles.
Subordination may have been their
place all day, these girls who earn
their living. All day they have been
under orders and prisoners of rule.
But when they come forth In the late
afternoon all that Is changed. Then
they dominate, and all men are sub
ject to the pleasant Influence of their
dominion. They banish discomfort
and quiet complaint and make habit
able the cars they crowd. But for
the presence of these marvelously
neat, calm, unobtrusive, unconscious
benefactors, the home-going cars in
the evening would be as cages of sul
len hyenas these trying days.
That telephone manager back East
who said that every girl who la
bright and neat and clean Is a pretty
girl. Is everlastingly right. Kansas

"Mothers," said Mrs. Agnes A.
Botha, of the Philadelphia Children's
Home Care Society, In the New York
where she visited was an aged man,
of silver hair and benignant coun
tenance, whose many yean of loyal
service in the family had earned their
full reward of affection and respect.
He felt an almost fatherly degree of
responsibility for the manners and be
havior of the younger members of
the family, especially upon cere
monial occasions. At a large recep
tion the American guest overheard
him speaking to the youngest grown
daughter, under pretense of bringing
her a lace scarf:
"Miss Hedith! Miss Hedlth! The
hold gentleman by the 'earth 'asn't
'ardly been noticed by anybody for
'alf an hour."
Miss Edith not displaying any
eagerness to hasten to the relief of
the neglected one, a fat, bald-beaded,
unattractive little man, be continued,
reproachfully:
" 'E's a person of hlmportance If
'e Is helderly. I've 'eard 'e's much
respected In the 'ouse. Besides, Miss
Hedlth, in the words of the poet,
'Kind 'earts are more than coronets;'
and I 'aven't a doubt. It 'e'd happened
to think of It, 'e'd 'ave hadded 'and
brainy 'ends than 'air!"
The conjunction of bard and butler
was sufficient to recall Miss Edith
to her duty us a daughter of the
house, and she was soon successfully
entertaining the bald but distin
guished member of parliament.'

Telegram, "should have more to say
about the athletic training of their
young boys in our public schools.
Many fine boys are being weakened
physically and neglected mentally
through too much athletics between
the ages of ten and eighteen.
."A mother Is Inclined to let the
boy'g father decide this matter, but
this Is all wrong, because nine men
out of ten will encourage a boy to
stand at the head of his school ath
letics even at the sacrifice of his oth
er studies.
"Every man likes to stand up with
his business associates and brag about
what his boy Is doing in the school
athletic classes.
"As a matter of fact, no boy should
be allowed to go seriously into ath
letics until he Is twelve or fifteen
yearg of age. Ordinary play Is enough
to keep a boy strong and growing nat
urally without abnormal muscular de
velopment. "The usefulness of public school
athletics, In their prevailing extent
of development, Is more or less open,
snd there Is a considerable difference
of opinion as to the best methods of
conducting such by-plays of public
education. But there Is no question
of the desirability of placing scholar
ship unreservedly foremost in the ad
justment of conditions.
"In private schools each institution
may fairly decide the question of the
Importance of athletics at It chooses.
Parents who do not approve of ath
letics have the privilege of sending
their children to schools where ath
letics are not exalted and there art
some such. The question of athletics
In the public schools, however, 1
quite a different matter. It appears
t bo the desire of the public, who
support the schools and for whom
they are conducted, that athletic
Shall have a place. But that place
must be secondary to the main pur
pose of popular education."
Am Arbiter of Manners.
"Of all the complex requirements
of modern civilization, the hardest to
live up to Is an English butler! " de
clared an American hostess recently
In humorous despair. "You see, he
gives no sign of satisfaction when one
does fulfill bis demands for a lady in
'gk life; and when one doesn't, there
is something In his eye an expres
sion of remote, respectful, but utterly
crushing withdrawal from responsi
bility for the errors of such a hope
less person as yourself that extin
guishes one's last lingering spark of
Independence. Under Higglns' disap
proval I am reduced to a worm of the
dust!"
Her guests laughed, and several
foelingly assented. JBut one woman,
who visited much in England, de
clared that on his native heath the
British butler developed virtues he
sldom carries across the Atlantic.

blouse la always a pretty one. This
model can be utilized either for the
odd waist or for the gown, and It can
be made from crepe, chiffon, moire or
other similar material, and also from
the simpler lingerie sort. It can be
trimmed with contrasting bands as 11-
Instrated or with any fancy material
that may be preferred. Also It can be
made either with the sleeves that are
slightly full and laid In pleats at the
wrists or with plain ones. Tucks are
arranged on becoming lines and pro
vide Just sufficient fulness at the
front. Crepe de Chine with trimming
of messallne and pretty buttons Is the
material Illustrated.
The blouse consists of the lining,
which Is optional, front and backs.
The tucks can be stitched by machine
or sewed by hand as liked, and Just

Of a Green Color.
Green Is being pressed as a color
for the season, the olive and soft

Five-Gored Yoke Skirt.
Every form of the yoke skirt Is to
be much worn this coming season,
and this one Is graceful and very gen
erally becoming. It enn be either
gathered or tucked, and consequently
It suits a variety of materials. In the
Illustration It Is made from one of the
new silk and wool crepes with trim
ming of folds of the material. Al
most everything fashionable Is soft,
however, and the list of available fab
rics is a long one. The yoke means
perfectly smooth fit over the hips,
while the skirt falls in graceful lines
and folds, and this Is true whether It
Is gathered or tucked. For the long
skirt, which is suited to occasions of
dress, the many pretty silks and silk
and wool fabrics are appropriate,
while for the short skirt can be util
ized such simpler fabrics as cashmere,
voile and the like.
The skirt is cut In five gores, and la
Joined to the yoke. The yoke Is fitted
by means of darts over the hips and
the closing is made Invisibly at the
back.

'Weekly Review of Trade says:
"Without oxcopticn the reports of
trade, both wholesale and retail, In
all parts of the country, are more
than satisfactory and hold out the
promise for 1310 of a year of un
equaled business. What this means,
expressed in almost inconceivable
figures, is thai the United States Is
now Increasing its wealth at a rate
never before achieved. Neither the
high prevailing prices nof the discus
sion of disputed economic policies
seem in any way to shake confidence
or check the industrial progress. In
all the principal cities the advices
are of an excellent retail distribution,
and the outlook for the holiday trade
Is very bright. Tho extraordinary
advance and speculation in cotton Is
tho most coisplcuous adverse develop
ment. "The remarkable progress In Iron
and steel Is maintained, and tn Octo
ber all previous records as to the
amount of actual business booked
were surpassed. In practically every
division orders are received In heavy
volume, and many mills are falling
steadily behind in deliveries. Book
ings by the steel companies are espec
ially large and some Important con
tracts are ponding.
"There is a further large gain In
tho movement of dry goods. The re
moval of restrictions in purchasing is
particularly notirer.b'.e In oon:e of the
larger retail centors.
"The demand for footwear shows
further Improvement and tho price
question is less of a disturbing factor."
