FATAL ECONOMY.
VERY old maxim declares that it isn't econ
omy to pick up pins ; the time is worth more
than the pins. Similarly it is not true econ

requires the daily removal of the bodily excretions
which are discharged through the pores of the skin.
These tiny mouths must be kept open, and they
should be opened only with a pure soap.

MISSES NELLIS HONORED.
Roosevelt Speaks For Himself.
Speaking of himself. Governor Roose
velt writes on "The Personal Equation
in Politics" in the June number of The
Review of the Republic, and says: "I
am a little inclined to envy a man who
can look forward to a long and steady
course of public service; but in my own
case such a career is out of the ques
tion; and personally it seems to me that
a man's comfort and usefulness are
greatly Impaired the moment he begins
to get worrying about how his votes
and actions will affect his own future.
When I was in the legislature I soon
found that for my own happiness as well
as for the sake of doing good work, I
had to cast aside all thoughts of my
own future: and as soon as I had made
up my mind to this and voted simply as
I thought right, not only disregarding
politicians, but even disregarding peo
ple themselves, if I honestly thought
them all wrong on a matter of principle,
not of mere expediency, then I began
thoroughly to enjoy myself and to feel
that I was doing good."
