Health &
Beauty
Hints
By Katherine Morton
A well supplied vanity box, which
Is still light enough to be carried
about In the suit case or hand bag. is
about the moat precious thing the
woman traveler can take along with
her
Many young ladles who have learn
ed the economical tricks of beauty
buy theatrical make-up boxes for the
holding of the cosmetics and soft lit
tle rags that they will need, the girls
getting these empty and fitting them
up as they see fit. One will buy
charming little celluloid boxes —the
sort called "Parisian Ivory,” for pow
der, rouge, nail paste, forehead plas
ters, and so on, putting the liquids
she will require into bottles as dainty.
Another will make use of any small
cardboard boxes In convenient sizes
she has on hand, employing ordinary
vials, old or new, for the liquids. For
the make-up rags, which are Indlspen- !
Bible, tops of old white stockings are
used, fine old handkerchiefs, bits of
silk undervests. etc., and the maid
who understands traveling will never
fall to fasten all the tops of the boxes
on with a rubber band.
Now traveling by land and sea have
differing consequences, but both meth
ods of transportation threaten enough
hurt for the complexion to make a
complexion cream and a skin wash
most valuable things to have in the
vanity box. Then as many young
women are unaware of the fact that
the soap supplied travelers Is never
of the best sort, nnd that sometimes
there is none at all, I would advise in
cluding a cake of Borne familiar sort.
Grease paint Is better, too, for travel
ing use than the dry sort, this hurting
the skin loss and keeping on better,
nnd for powder I would suggest a lit
tle scented talcum, which could be
sewed up for convenience Into a little
cheesecloth bag. Or if one is used to
powder leaves, and knows that the
face must first be cleansed with one
and then powdered with fresh ones, a
book of these would bo still more
convenient.
Dust is Inevitable with travel by
train, nnd as It is not always possible
to obtain the means of a face bath,
nnd If left on Jong the dust will seri
ously hurt the skin, the face should be
cleansed at least twice a day with
cold cream and a little of the wash
carried along. For tho last benzoin
will be found excellent, a teaspoonful
of this In half a cup of water supply
ing quite a good faco hath. Pour the
diluted benzoin on a soft bit of rag
nnd go over all the face with wiping
movements, doing this after the skin
lias been first cleansed with cold
cream. After the face has dried, pow
der As usual.
In plaee of the benzoin It Is possi
ble to employ orange-flower water or
alcohol—or any good cologne or toilet
water —for taking off the grease after
the cream cleansing, or even for the
soil itself, but it Is never wise to use
too much of any of these things, ns
they all scorch tho skin after a while.
Upon arrival anywhere the face
Bhould be washed immediately with
warm water and a bland soap, and
elnce one cannot count always on soft
water a smnll box of borax would be
another precious adjunct for the van
ity box. Dust, by tho way. is curious
ly destructive to the delicacy of the
skin. Inflaming It and sometimes set
tling so deeply Into tho pores that
blackheads ensue. The hygienic soaps
of French manufacture are all good,
these being healing as well as cleans
ing to the skin. Old caßtile is an
other good soap more easily procur
able. as It can be found In every drug
store and In many little country
groceries.
Tho Injuries of the sea trip come
through the Influences of salt air and
wind, many complexions taking on
sudden eruptions or tanning badly.
Sometimes the pimples come from
neglect of the powels. as salt air la
constipating to some constitutions; so
a little box of some mild laxative
could be Included In the supply of
beautlflers. Take one of these every
night as long as 1h necessary, and
help the good work along by taking a
w’arm sea bath every day. If your
eyes are used to glasses keep them
on, for you will he more susceptible
to seasickness If you leave them off.
For protecting the skin from wind
tnirn. prepare It before putting on the
powder with cold cream, rubbing this
well down Into tho pores and wiping
off tho surplus. Wear a red-brown
veil on the ship’s deck, or when tak
ing tho little boat sail, ae this color is
about tlie only one that will resist the
tanning agents of Dam© Nature; but
If you can go without the veil without
serious injury to your skin, do so. as
air, just air Itself, is one of the body's
most important beautlflers.
Sleeveless Waists of Chiffon.
Sleeveless kimono waists of chiffon,
over lace or embroidered blouses, are
one of the pretty styles of the mo
ment. The edges at neck and arms
are finished with hemstitching and
eometimes a narrow lace frill or a
quilling of ribbon. Whatever is the
finish it must be as flat as possible,
otherwise the effect is bad.
Social Forms
and
Entertainments
Very Impolite.
Your valuable advice have helped
ir.e before, so I come to you again
This Is a small town with but one
play-house which changes programs
every other night, or three perform
ances a week. I took a couple girl
friends there one evening and during
the show they said they attended the
night before and saw the same show.
Now these girls knew the rules of the
bouse, and so knew it would be the
same performance. Was It prope
not to let me know before, or should
they have told me at all’ —"Stung.”
If the girls you were kind enough to
take to the show were so discourteous
as to say they had seen It before, with
out your asking if they had. they cer
tainly were lacking in good manners
If they had seen It and did not care
to see It again they should have tolc
you so and said they would be glad to
go when the bill was changed, or they
should have said nothing
For an Announcement Party.
Will you kindly make a few sugges
tions for an announcement party The
announcement Is to be made to a club
of girls and I would be glad If you
would make some suggestions tor the
lunch and some Inexpensive favors. —
Anxious.
Write an original story of the girl’s
life and wind up with the engagement,
read this aloud as an interesting tale
and “they” will all soon begin tc
catch on. Of course you use fictitious
names. For favors have little baskets
holding bon-bons tied with ribbons
and a wee "wedding" bell tied to the
handle. For luncheon have cream o!
asparagus soup, lamb chops, green
peas, new potatoes, cherry salad, mint
sherbet and small cakes.
Perplexing Question.
What should a girl tell a boy when
he asks her If she loves him (If she
really does love him) and he says he
loves her but has never done anything
to prove it?
Ilow long should a girl of seventeen
wear her dresses? How should she
fix her hair?—"Country Girl.”
I wonder how a seventeen-year-old
girl knows If she really loves a boy or
he her when they are both not much
more than babies? Wait at least three
years and then see how you both feel.
Dresses should be Just below the shoe
toj>« and hair Is very pretty In the
Madonna braids around the head,
either with or without bows.
Idea for a Dinner Party.
Will you give me a few suggestionr
for a dinner party?
llow many courses?
What to serve?
What sort of a center-piece?
I don’t want anything elaborate and
for about six persons.—Waiting Hess
Use tho flowers available In a
basket for the center of the table
'Serve sardine appetizers for the first
course, then cream of pea soup, fried
or broiled chicken, asparagus on toast
new' potatoes with butter and parsley
tomato and mayonnaise for salad, with
cheese balls, and a frozen dessert
with after-dinner coffee either in the
drawing room or at the table.
Correct Use of Cards.
Will you please tell me the correct
way of using cards when calling?—
Ignorant Bride.
All you have to remember is to leave
two of your husband's cards and one
of your own when calling upon a
couple, one of each for each woman
and one of your husband's for each
man in the household.
Reply to ”J. S.”
Your letter was most excellent con
sidering you have only been In this
country two years. The best advice I
can give you Is to see the .principal of
your home school and see what studies
are required. Tell him your hopes and
ambitions and I am sure you will find
the desired assistance.
Reply to Dolly.
Boys usually like cushions, dress
shirt protectors, silver key rings, sil
ver pencils, card cases, etc. Semi the
gift as soon as you like before com
mencement and write "Congratulations
and .good wishes" on your card. Coats
with collars are always in good style.
Your writing Is legible, but a bi’
cfamped.

SACRIFICE THE NAVY
DEMOCRATIC POLICY AGAINST IN
TERESTS OF THE COUNTRY.
Leaders Are Playing a Dangerous
Game and the Voters Understand
Fully the Reasons Which
Have Actuated Them.
The Democrats in control of the low -
er house of congress are apparent!}
desperate in their determination to
make a showing for economy before
the voters of the country in the prea.
dential campaign. Having wasted a
! considerable sum ol money In a fu
! tile attempt to find, by means of man;
lrr» estigations, scandals w hich coui :
be saddled upon the last two Repub
llcan administrations, they applied th
knife mercilessly to the appropria
lion bill.
The most noteworthy omission it.
the bill as It came from committee i.
the absence of an aiff)ropriation to
new battleships. The plan upo:
which congress has been proceeding
for some time past contemplates tw
of them each year. This is a mod
est .program, for, at the rate that for
eign navies are being strengthened,
it would ensure nothing more tha
that this country would retain Its
relative position among maritime
powers
The Democratic congressmen arc
playing a dangerous game. They ar*

needlessness and devastation of wa;
and the* heavy expense entailed 1:
the maintenance of effective navies a
an excuse for a policy whose real ol
Ject is temporary party advantag-

lze the position this country woui

In comparison with the fleets of E
rope and Japan. They know that th<
Monroe doctrine is only as strong a-,
the navy.
They know what would have ha

Spain in response to a wave of ang*

tbe Spanish navy had been as for
midable as It seemed to be on pap*
and that of this country had bee
small and poorly equipped. Thc
know that the Panama canal, the H
wailan islands and the Philippine
may, at any time, need naval prote<
tion.
Navies and armies are a public bur
den and the world would be better
off without war. But so are police
men. marshals and deputy sheriffs a
public burden, and law-breaking is
wrong and unreasonable. Yet tho
most enthusiastic and eloquent advo
cates of the disarmament of the Dm.
tion have not yet declared for the dif

1 see w hat Is require . for their persftn
| al protection, even if they are unable
ito perceive what Is needed for the
protection of this country and those
i over which It has established a guard
ianship.
The “Referendum” Decision.
We do not suppose anyone Is sur
prised at the unanimous decision of
the Supreme Court of the United
States declaring that Congress, and
not the judiciary, has the right and
authority to decide whether or not a
particular form of state government
is "republican."
The question, as the chief justice
said with Justifiable Impatience and
irritation, was settled many years ago,
and there could be no reasonable
doubt upon the point. Able and high
priced lawyers will, however, argue
even absurd propositions before any
tribunal If any client will ask them to
do so —and foot the bills.
The initiative and referendum may
or may not be necessary or desirable
in the United States as a check upon
legislatures. But the people of the
states are entirely free to adopt these
Institutions. Some states have adopted
them, and Congress has very naturally
and properly admitted their senators
and representatives. "Republican” is
a term well known to mean anti
monarchical and anti-oligarchical. Any
popular government is republican.
What the people have to decide la
whether this or that republican form
is wise, expedient, likely to prove
stable and successful. The judiciary
cannot decide this for them.
Therefore Stable Government.
Business is the concern of all—small
and great, young and old, men, women
and children. What affects the man
who is at the head of any organized
business deleteriously affects every
body who gets a living out of that
business. He who does not understand
this simply fails to grasp the great law
of interdependence upon which every
form of business, whether it be manu
facturing, trade or commerce, is based.
Business prosperity means prosperity
for the working millions, and what
ever Interferes with or obstructs or
tends to overthrow activity’fh all
branches of business hits first *of all
and hardest of all the people who
work for wages.
Question to Take Up.
The Republican national committee
should take up without delay the ques
tion of uniform and simultaneous pri
maries throughout the country. The
Republican national convention should
decide what Is to be party’s policy
hereafter as to the method of nomi
nation. The Democratic national com
mittee and the Democratic national
convention should do the same thing.
Important in the extreme is this equal
ization, which means the proper pro
portioning of the voice of the parties.

Louisiana.
The Republican party as an organiza
tion has ceased to exist in Louisiana.
Having polled less than ten per cent,
of the vote of the state at the elections
held in April, It has forfeited Its fran
chise and Js no longer entitled to avail
itself of the provisions of the primary
relating to the nomination of candi
dates for office.
Under the atrocious system now in
vogue, Louisiana is entitled to 20
votes in the Republican national con
vention. Now. observe how that ar
rangement operates. It means that
this hotten borough constituency will
exactly balance the convention
strength of the two flourishing Repub
lican states of North Dakota and Ore
gon, each of which has ten delegates.
In the presidential election of 1908
the Republican vote in I»uisiana was
8.958. Nn North Dakota it was 67,680,
and in Oregon 62,530. In other words,
the 120,210 Republicans of North Da
kota and Oregon will have the same
representation in the Chicago conven
tion as the 8,958 Republicans of Loui
siana and no morel —Cleveland Lead
er.
Under Republican Rule.
In 1880 the savings banks’ deposits
In tho Unite*] States were only twice
as large as those in Great Britain,
but now they arc four times as large,
and the savings' bank deposits in New
York state alone, with 9,113,279 inhab
itants. are 50 per cent larger than
those in the United Kingdom, with
45,000,000 inhabitants. Per head of
population. New York state has $l6B
in the savings banks, while Great
Britain has only $24 in the savings
banks.
The foregoing figures prove clearly
the wonderful prosperity of the United
States and the American people, and
they have every reason to be proud
of their country and of their states
men and business men who have
brought about these magnificent re
sults.
Direct Election of Senators.
By a vote of 237 to 39 the house of
representatives passed the constitu
tional amendment providing for the di
rect election of United States sen
ators. As the senate has already acted
favorably, the amendment will now go
to the state legislatures for ratifica
tion. It Is believed that this long
talked-of change in our fundamental
law will at least be made. Many who
have heretofore opposed the reform
will, in our opinion, now welcome It as
at least preferable to conditions which
have lately developed. If the people
are determined to elect their senators,
it is much better that they should do
it under the law* rather than In round
about ways under preferential primary
laws, or by a popular vote, which has
and can have no legal effect. —Indian-
apolis News. 2
Yes, Somewhat Debatable.
It seem*'to us that there is but one
theory upon which the houn’ dawg
candidate can be chosen at Baltimore.
That Is the convenient one that the
current year of grace is so auspicious
to Democracy that, well, that any
Democrat will be able to bite the hind
leg off any Republican who may be
named. And this, we maintain, is still
a debatable point. Republicans have
small reason to “view with alarm" the
situation that confronts them In re>
gard to the coming presidential elec
tion. —New York Evening Sun.
BIG FORTUNE WELL HANDLED
Millions Left by.the Late Russell Sage
Are Being Expended for the Wel

While the late Russell Sage was in
the flesh he was one of the most pru-
Jent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers in Gotham. The astute finan
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wild cat schemes. He was
a “sure-shot" operator in \\ all street,
And when he died he left in the hands
V his lone widow a fortune of some
thing like $75,000,000. Since becom
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduously in scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing it. The scriptures tell us that
the miser is the man that "heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them.” Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose shoul
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked ;
hard in lightening the burden. Her :
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her hus
band’s operations in the market. She
Is reported to be failing in health, and
her task is only begun. Should she
be taken from the world thousands
will regret her departure, and It is
very earnestly to be hoped that fur
ther care of the property will fall into
good hands.
