Girl Moper

HAT poor girl moper who goes around wedging wormwood into yoiir views because; Miss Gild was born with a gold 'spoon in her mouth and you weren’t, or because the general divine* scheme of things has queered you frdm way back, pr because some darling of fortune can carry around poodles while you must tote bills and order books—that moper ought to bring herself to task Before she goes to the ash heap or under the tube roses. . ■' ■ The “Brushwood Boy” and “William the Conqueror,” two

stories we have surely heard of some time, considering the fame of their author, can best give you a new relish. for work if you have lost it through moping. The n^un., people in these stories are all keen on the joy of fheff~f&cilities. Some of them even love their work first and their sweethearts afterwards. Then that delightful story of the faithful and conscientious Jane Eyre, and that uplifting one in which Maggie Tulliver, who never has the things she would have, has such a wonderful gift for self-sacrifice. And no books are quite so cheering and instructive to the worker as Dickens’ novels, in which we are always taken to the heart of work houses and poor houses and all kinds of trades and industries and Brought next to people who have things to contend with like ourselves. / The best way to get away from your own mistaken views is to read those of others. But there is still another way for the girl moper who suffers with decrepit standpoint. A stenographer who used to mope because she wasn’t the manager and" who had too many dreams in her head that wouldn’t materialize got a turn in the right direction one cold winter morning. A half-frozen woman with two little children accosted her just as she left the snug warm apart* ment of her mother, herself well protected against the wind in a -new fur coat.

Regular Hours for Child’s Study and Meals

By WELLS ANDREWS, M. D.

fore any mental exertion is required. ! Constant food between meals should be forbidden. It j destroys the appetite, increases the saliva apd interferes with stomach digestion. < ; ' Children should never be hurried off to school in the moraine with an insufficient and rapidly eaten breakfast: Their appetites are often poor at this hour from the effects of an ill-ventilated sleeping apartment, and if they are kept at school for several hours without luncheon they are very ill prepared for mental work. The greater number of children have a natural craving for sweets. The important role of sugars in furnishing energy in active childhood necessitates the consumption of a larger proportion of sugar titan is required by adults. The craving of children for confections, candy and the like furnishes a true indication of the actual requirements of nature, and it must be admitted that a certain amount of wholesome candy, liks plain molasses candy, not only does most chil’nvu no harm may serve them as an excellent food. Simple forms of well-cooked bread and custard puddings should be furnished as dessert occasionally, ! Tea and coffee should be withheld. They interfere with digestion and make the child nervous. Too 1 much water should nob be allowed with meals, and what is given should not be iced. * ' ’

Deciding on Right Kind of Husband

By Mrs. Harold Sanford

J. tails the performance of a few unpleasant duties is the only fly in the ointment, and in view of the benefits to accrue, she considers the payment slight and strikes a good bargain accordingly. But the woman of primitive instincts, whose emotions have not been dulled by civilization’s edge, the idea of marriage with a man whom she does not love is an impossible issue. < Every fiber of her being rebels at the barter; she has no choice in the matter. • Money to her is a very insignificant part of the formula for happiness, and not to be reckoned in conjunction with the big primal forces that go to make up her existence. I She scorns to hawk her wares from one prospective buyer to another, btit reserves for herself the right to win her own happiness, and gives herself with the splendid generosity of a great nature. 1 Of such are the real mothers of the race.

By BLANCHE BRUCE

After she had heard the woman’s story and called her mother to attend to her comfort she watched a vision in costly furs and billowy plumes carry her poodle across a little snowdrift and hug him to her pretty self. This gave her another turn. When she reached the office, she didn’t mope. She only reveled in her ability to <l6 the chief’s correspondence unaided, and reckoned that if fortune ever •smiled on her in the shape of a real, rich husband she would give more of her time to paupers than to * poodles. ’

Hours for children’s study and for meals should be regulated. Sufficient time should be allowed before each meal to permit children to wash and prepare themselves comfortably, without going to the table excited by hurry. And they should I be required to remain at the table through- ' out a fixed time, never being. allowed to swallow their food hastily in order to com- • plete an unfinished task or game. An in- j terval of half an hour or more should intervene after meals for recreation, in order that digestion may be well under way be- |

Whom shall the girl marry—the young man with muscle or the old man with money ? ' ' . The question involves the matter of temperament. There is the woman who has little more emotion in her makeup than the average sack of flour. She lives for her personal well being, aided and brought about by material comforts. To her marriage is little more than .the entering into a contract whereby she will gain more of the world’s goods than at present she is blessed with. The. fact that it en-

TARIFF BOARD VALUE

COUNTRY SOMEWHAT SKEPTICAL ON THE SUBJECT. '• Report on Wool Schedule Doe* Nbt Seem to Be of Much Practical Use—One Thing at Lea* the People Know. The house of representatives decided to order the publication of the tariff board’ report on the wool schedule. Perhaps a careful study of it may prove that it is as valuable as the president believes it to be. But there is a good deal of skepticism on the subject. One thing seerds to be pretty well established, and that is that the board did not get any important Information as to the differing costs of production of Wool and woolens. Indeed, it is admitted that it was impossible “to state in exact terms the cost of producing a pound of wool by itself, for the simple reason that wool is but one of two products of the Same operation.” So even the domestic price of producing wool can not be stated in “exact terms.”' However, the board, In some way, managed to discover that In the west the cost is at least 11 cents a pound. As It admits that the cost is higher in Ohio than anywhere else, it is hard to .see how, with the high Ohio cost, and with wool costing 11 cents in the sections w'here production is cheapest, the board managed to strike an average of 9Vz cents for the entire country. In truth it all looks like guesswork. Obviously if the difficulties were so great at home they must have been much more formidable ' abroad. The cost of production in South America is, we are informed, between 4 and 5 cents a pound. No authori'ty in support of this conclusion has thus far been gi*ven, nor have we any light on the process used in reaching it. In regard to the cost in Australia the board is most indefinite. “It appears,” we are told, “that .a charge of a very few cents a pound lies against the great clips of region in the aggregate.” Again the board is unable to “name an exact figure.” Of course, all this must be very discouraging to those who insist that the measure of protection should be the difference between the foreign and domestic costs of production. Only, so it is said, as we observe this principle can we hope to get a “scientific” tariff. Yet we now see that this difference can not be established with anything even approaching scientific exactness. It is all guesswork, and, thereforerit is through guesswork that we are to work out our scientific tariff. We have no exact figures in regard to production in this country, in South America or in Australasia, and yet it is expected that congress will from this report discover what the differing* costs of production are, and then legislate “scientifiically" in the light of that knowledge. The truth, of course, is that the whole theory is impossible and fallacious. Wb have seen how difficult it was for the haard to apply it, and how complete wasTnts failure to get accurately the facts which are supposed' to be necessary to the construction of a proper tariff. It is said that the ways and means committee will question the members of the board as to the authorities on which it relied and the methods which it used. One thing, at least, know, and that is that schedule is about as bad as it could be —is, as the president once said, “indefensible.”—lndianapolis News.

Democratic Campaign Document.

It is admitted by the president that the effect of the high duties on wool and woolen goods has been to exclude “the importation of clean, low-priced ; foreign wools of inferior grades” ■ which could have been used" to “to : displace the cheap substitutes.now In ■ use.” . I In other words, many who are now ' wearing shoddy might be wearing ! wool if the Republican congress had not seen fit to insure the ~profits of those who are engaged in the woollen industry. With a’few comments and annotations President Taft’s message advocating the lowering of the woolen tariff ought to make a good campaign document for the Democratic party.

The Truth in a

We reaffirm the position of the grange upon the tariff question, that whatever the policy of the government may be, the farmer demands that so far as possible such measure’ of direct benefit therefrom as is given to manufacturers or any other industries of the country shall also be accorded agriculture. of the Indiana State Grafige. The benefits of the tariff will be equally shared by agriculture when the schedules are reduced to a revenue oply basis, and not before then, gently men of the grange. News.

On the Free List.

The most highly protected industry in the United States is that of the manufacture of wool (and shoddy). The tariff board reports that of the 35,000 people employed in this work 63 per cent, are of foreign birth. It is no indictment of an American workingman that he was born abroad, but a coddled industry that has had the benefit Of prohibitive duties for more than 40 years ought not to import labor simply because that is one of fthe few things that are on the free, list.
