GOOD WORK IS PROGRESSING

Women in Every State Join Earnestly in Campaign Against Tuberculosis. Four years ago tLe only active women workers in the anti-tuberculosis movement were a little group of about j SO women's clubs. Today 800.000 I women, under the United States, are ' banded together against this disease, i and more than 2,000 clubs are taking J a special interest in the crusade. Not less than $."00,000 is raised annually by them for tuberculosis work, be- j sides millions that are secured through i their efforts in state and municipal appropriations. Mrs. Itufus P. Williams is the chairman of the department that directs this work. In addition to the work of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the Public Health Education committee of the American Medical association, composed largely of women physicians, has carried on an educational campaign of lectures during the past year !

We have tried to analyze wherein the beauty of Japanese maples lies. To begin, the trees are small and of exceptionally compact growth. The leaves are small, extraordinarily numerous, and delicately cut and divided. The colors themselves are really rich, ranging from r'nrlr rnnmrv-marnnTi to srnrlpt and orange.

There are all grades, from places where the commonest and cheapest goods are sold to elegant places like the Mitsukoshi, or Matsuya's. They are intended for Japanese buyers, and in the finest one sees beautiful displays of all the most attractive things of Japansee production cloths, clothes, potteries, kakemono, household equipment and the like. As in other places, however, they have their unsold remrants and set bargain days when their great remnant departments are thronged with commoner people than the usual patrons, anxious to secure fine things at low prices. Tea is served In all department stores of such pretension and In their -lunch rooms. Just as In the great department stores at home, one may find dainty lunches. In fact, if the novice wishes to make acquaintance with the Japanese cuisine there is no better way of gaining a first Ksson than by going to the lunch rooms of the great department stores. Quite different from these pretentious and elegant establishments are the "bazaars." which are to. be found In every section of the city.

spicuously displayed upon their front, which generally extends along considerable space, with a door at each of the two sides. These aro marked "Inway" and "Outway," and the visitor is expected to observe these signs. Entering, then, through the "Inway" we find ourselves In a very narrow passage scarcely six feet wide, along both sides of which ml sorts of cheap things aro attractively displayed. Everything is cheap, and everything is at a fixed price. Not only Japanese goods, but those "made in Germany," In England, In France, and In the United States are here for sale. Space is rented apparently to little sellers, and one finds sections devoted to certain goods. You can here buy safetyrazors and fountain pens, picture frames, postcards, every kind of tool for household use, ready-made clothing, hats, caps and shoes; toys are In special evidence, section after section being devoted to them. Having reached the end of the narrow passage, we find an abrupt turn to the right, leading back along another passage behind the one which we have already traversed. At Its end another turn and another passage, and so on. back and forth, turning and winding, until one feels as If within a perfect maze or labyrinth. Usually about the time when he begins to thfnk that there Is no end to tho sinuous way he Is threading, he finds himself st the foot of a staircase, and has no escape but to mount the stairs. Here he finds himself again In passages. After going through just twice as much as he has done before, he finds himself at the top of a stalrwray which takes him down with half of the ground floor still to be traversed. Everywhere the clerks and little sell:rs urge tue passerby to take their .-vares. Very different is this indeed from Mitsukoshi and Matsuya. but vtry interesting. Some days Sgo the street earn were brilliant with announcements of Matsuya's fall openins of wedding preparations. Our native mentor insisted that we should take it in. We were :;iad. Indeed, he did so. A very considerable section of the store had been iTcntly prepared for the exhibition. It consisted of the ordinary pirscnts , t ent to weddings, of the bridal outfit, HOW THIS MR. rOX GOT HIS Became Mixed in the Rocsts Upon Coming Home After an Absence of Thirty Years.

of choice and beautiful examples of things bought by or for young couples for household use and of the ceremonial furnishings of the home. The bridal dress differs with the rank or position of the wearer. The dress of the lower, the middle or the high class (princely woman) is recognized at once by the instructed. In three adjaceift alcoves were figures wearing bridal gowns. All were beautiful. The wedding garments of a low-class woman in Japan is a werk of art; delicate materials in fine colors and striking patterns are employed; the cut and form are suitable to her class. Not only, however, is the bride obliged to have a single dress. She must have two others expressly made with reference to her wedding. The true bridal gown Is worn only at the ceremony; almost immediately it is put off, and a second, quite different from it. is assumed; the bride arrived at home, the marriage day past, a third dress, different from both the others, is suitable. Naturally the clothing of the middle-class bride Is richer and finer, perhaps as brightly colored, as that of the lower-class woman. Characteristic is the curious great veil, like a sack or bag in form, which is drawn down over the face; it Is a filmy stuff, so that the face and hair dressing of the bride may still be seen quitely clearly through It. The dress of the highest class woman. v vav.j- k. . w iwwtJVOw ViClO i U ill till. -ii i , " , " the princely class is .elegant and rich; on the whole, it is less strikingly strikingly bright colored than that of the middle class woman; there is, however, an unmistakable refinement about it which Is lacking in the other class. There were here displayed upon the walls samples of rich materials which were formerly used for s'ich wedding garments. Among them was a stuif of golden buff ground with delicate patterning which was valued at a thousand yen ($500) a Japanese foot. Curiously, however. In looking through tho price catalogue of the house, the price of the dress of the first-class Is less than that of the middle-class woman. In the catalogue special emphasis is laid upon the fact that the house endeavors to bring the price of the choicest goods within the reach of reduced purses. As a matter of fact. Is Is undoubtdly true that the great middle class of nouveau riche Is able to spend far more money upon dress and adornment than many of the present day representatives of the ancient houses of power and Importance. In an alcove Just beyond those devoted to' the bridal costumes was one furnished with beautiful wedding presents of the olden time the equipment of old houses of the Tokugawa period. Here were such lovely old laquers as one scarcely dared to handle. Thus there was one fine black lacquered box lid with a representation Inside In gold-dust lacquer of the scene of tha Chinese poet lost In admiration of a cascade In the mountains; mercury was cunningly Introduced in such a fashion that when properly placed, a cascade wa3 seen In action. There were toilet cases and old mirrors which had belonged to princely famines. There was a set of ceremonial drinking cups for use at the wedding made of red lacquer with patterns raised In gold; these cups were broad, low bvls, almost as flat and shallow as table plates. The 12 composing the outfit were of different sizes, and were stacked one on another, the least above; when used, they wero passed from hand to hand, the first one at the beginning of the wedding feast blng the smallest; the others succeeded each other in order of sizeuntil the largest, last. In every Japanese living and reception room the place of honor Is the tokonoma. It is an alcove, the floor of which stands at a little greater height than that of the room itself. Upon this slightly elevated platform tho only decorations of the room are placed. It is here that the üoral ar-rangc-p.'cnt Urc tho time will be constructed. There i usually a little stand of beautifully finished wood upon which some quaint carving in recently, he shot and killed a fox which was making a foul attempt at securing a fair young broiler. Upon examining tho fox he discovered th.i it had a colHr upr,n its neck, and upon tho collar was evidence that it was a tan'p fox that ho had possessed some thirty years before. A fox fome thirty years of age is some age for a fox. but tho paper says so. and that Is quite sufficient. The fox, however, got slightly mixed in his roosts, which was perhaps due to the dimness of old age. Had he

i .t Not the .:.t i 'ton sting thing about Matsuya's disj yjjj ÄHr t tZ""t i the young people. The platform and the stand and other supports used in it werp all of clean white wood, beauI r ii- it- 1 ry, 1 lliuuy smooiii aim puiu. 1 lit- ccunai object in such a tokonoma consists of shimadal which Is usually a little artificial pine tree under which are represented an old man and woman with white hair; cranes may be perched among the branches or standing on the ground below; and usually a tortoise, the kind with the broad and hairy tail "the ten thousand year tortoise;" to the right and left of the shimadal aro stands which bear symbolic gifts of foods, while before it on a little stand of Its own Is a symbolic shallow bowl of sake; in tin remaining space are usually arranged little stands or tables upon which are gifts of food or other presents, all of which usually have symbolic meanir.g. We had already noticed a shop where such presents were manufactured. We had recognized that they were present, but not that they had special reference to weddings. Having seen Matsuya's great display, we hastened to visit two or three of the places where shimadal and other forms of wedding gifts are made. In the good old times, before the Occidental influence was strong, every such shop was marked by a pair of tai fish i in wood, painted red, hung above the door. Such signboards, alas, are now a rarity. Where else does the constant symbolism of the Japanese make so strong an impression upon the visiter as at such shops? Always present in the stock will be two immense representations of tai fish made In bright red stuff or soft crepe-like texture. These fish usually rest with heads and mouths quite At . 11 close together upon a stand of clean wnte wood art!aclai leaves of . ,' . , , . green bamboo tucked under them Such a pair of tai fishe are an emblem of conjugal fidelity and love. The pine tree alone or with various objects associated with it is always to bo seen. The pine Is evergreen, hence a natural symbol for long life and eternal happiness. The white hair of the old man and woman so frequently shaded under Its branches indicate the years of life which the giver wishes to be the lot of the young couple. The turtle with its long broad tail of streaming hair seaweed is reputed to live ten thousand years, and conveys the wish that similar length of life may come. Another symbol of longevity always to be seen In euch places Is really naturalistic representations of lobsters, or lobster-like crustaceans, which are generally made in red or purple stuff. Very common Is a massing together of a great stalk of red coral, a sack bulging with precious contents, and other emblems symbolic of wealth the well-known "jewel" among them; such of course delicately convey the wish that the recipient may have hill3 of treasure, mountains of wealth. Sometimes a great figure of an elephant made In delicate pearl-gray stuff is used as the bearer of the various symbolic presents Instead of a simple stand of wood. In all these symbolic forms, whether tai fish or coral branch or treasure n:ountan or lob- i etcr. tho cloth or mai?rial which is ! used is uncut and .unseued; In other words, unbroken piece? of cloth are used in their construction; the object being that after the wedding has passed and the celebration ended the material may be carefully opened out and utilized. But when we talk of symbols we are apt to to run on forever. We wish only to call attention to one other symbolic present to be seen In'the maker's shop. It Is a form of rebus only, instead of the p'ctures of the rebus representing sounds, they call up an association of Ideas; and, in stead of being drawn or painted, they are stamped-out objects, which ar arranged upon a long and narrow board. These boards, about three feet In length and four Inches wide, are perforated at the upper end for hang ing by a peg or nail against tho wall; upon them are a half dozei of the symbolic objects. Of course, to a for eigner who knows nothing of the lan guage and little of the poems, songs, traditions and theatrical representations of the people, the meaning cl these compositions is lost. To a Japanese, however, of Intelligence ant education, this plain and simple board with its pretty attached objects calls up a precious memory from some ancient dram.i or poem. It is among the prettiest forms of wedding presents. (Copyright, 1910. by W O. Chapman.) Somewhat Embarrassing. Attorney Clem V. Hull, with much gusto, tells this story on, himself. "I was in conference with a client on one of those dreadfully hot days and not wanting to leave him even for an instant I called an office boy, gave him a quarter and said: 'Go get me a pint of Vichy and be quick about it, too, I'm simply burning up.' "My client was an elder In the church and my purpose was not only to quench my own thirst, but to offer him a nice cooling drink as well. "In five minutes the boy was back. He thrust his head through the door and piped: " 'Please, Mr. Hull, they say over at 's that the cheapest whisky they've, got. is 50 cents a pint." Cleveland Leader. Long Serpentine Wharf.

SfILL PAY Chicago High School Girls Taught Science of Money. Husband's Trousers Will Be Safe In Future Because Pay Check Will Be SFiit Up Equally When It First Gets Home. Chicago. Woe be unto the young man who marries a Chicago high school girl a few years hence and on I pay day tries to "put anything over," as they say in the less select circles. For, as they say in those same circles, "she'll be onto him bigger than a house." A new system of household economics is to be Introduced Into Chicago by the new two-year vocational course in the Chicago high schools. One of the studies that the girls who take the household arts course will have to master Is named "division of Income." and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, says that the girls are going to know how to split up a pay check so cloesly that thoy will foresee a needed yeast cake fcur days ahead. It won't be a case of "frisking" hubby's trousers in the still night watches to see If there's change enough for a small steak for breakfast. A scientific division of the pay check will take place when it nrst gets home, and it won t be necessary for the wife with high school training to make more than the one "touch." She'll take what she needs to run the house on and hubby may have the rest, but must pay his dally expenses out of It. If he goes "broke" he can't borrow from wifey, because she'll have the money all spent, mentally, at least. If she still has the nominal possession of it she'll know just where it's going. If he should reach for a half öollar she might say: "You can't have that. That's for sugar." Disheartened, he might eye a quarter wistfully, and hear: "Nor that either. That goes for a

TO DEFRA UD THE PUBLIC

New York Bakers Make Two Sizes of Bread for Retailers. Large Loaf Is Sold to Cash Customers Over Counter, While Smaller Size Goes to Those Who Order Gocds Delivered. New York. In the course of a conference between Clement J. Drlscoll. commissioner of weights and measures, and bakers of this city, a number of Ingenious ways of defrauding the public were expesed. The conference was held with the object of formulating a plan by which bread may be sold by weight. Several bakers admitted that it was customary for the wholesaler to make different sized loaves for the retaller, who sells one kind to the customer who comes to the store for bread, and a smaller size to those who order bread delivered at their homes. The bread dealers are making a determined fight against the instalment of Driscoll's new plan, and their arguments make interesting reading. "How do you think that we can support our horses and wagons if we do not make an added profit on the bread which we deliver?" was the way the representatives of the New York Bakers' association expressed their point of view. "How are we going to pay the Janitor of every apartment house in town for permission to put the bread and rolls on the dumbwaiter, and get hlrn to watch and see that they go to the, right families, unless we make the consumer himself pay the added expense?" one representative asked. "This thing Is an established custom, and thus far the consumer has never 'shown that he is unwilling to pay a little more for tho privilege of receiving his breadstuffs in his own house." The commissioner, however, declared he would continue his efforts in the cause of selling bread by weight. He seemed to favor pasting a small label on each loaf of bread sold, stating Its exact weight. The first objection raised by the representatives of the bakers' association was that this would be unsanitary. "I don't agree with you there," said Drlscoll. "At present several of the large wholesale bakeries paste their names on the loaves of bread baked by them, and so far as I have been able to find out there has been no objection to this either on the part of the consumer or the board of health." A shop to shop canvass by inspectors showed a great dissimilarity in relative weight and price of different loaves. The average of 14 loaves revealed the fact that the consumer generally received ounces of bread for a cent, but variations were considerable. A French loaf weighing one pound cost ten cents, whllo a cream loaf weighing 24 ounces only cost 12 cents. Another loaf weighing 33 ounces cost eight cents, while still another loaf weighing 26 ounces brought six cents. In explanation the baker suggested tality and appearance. "This may be true," said Coramisloner Drlscoll, "but heretofore the

The Importance of dancing as an educational asset was the subject under discussion at the last sitting of the Women's congress at the Japan-British exhibition. "Educationists are agreed." said Cecil Grace, "as to the desirability of introducing dancing in the schools. "It Is one o! the most primitive and universal of all the arts. True dancing Is an artistic expression of an inwrard idea. "It is necessary that school children should have some subject to nourish the Imaginative faculties." After an interesting display of the old-fashioned Morris dances, Mr. Grace added that the objection to dancing made by certain people was disarmed by the fact that the Morris dances were performed by persons all of the same sex originally men and in them "tho love motive was entirely absent" Mouse Eats Marriage License.

AIRSHIP IN WAR MANEUVERS

Germany to Experiment With Aerial Cruisers for First Time Schuette Fiasco. Berlin. It is stated that during the German naval maneuvers In the autumn an attempt will be made for the first time to utilize an airship in connection with the operations. It will be fitted with an installation for wireless telegraphy, and its functions will be to keep one of the combatants Informed of the other's movements. With a view- to this experiment, the commander of the High Sea fleet, Admiral Iloltzendorf. recently took part In one of the military airship's ascents from Berlin. The atrial cruiser, which will be used for the trials, will probably be the new Gross, which has just been completed here. It is considerably larger than any of Its forerunners, having a capacity of over eighty thousand cubic feet, a length of 305 feet, and a diameter of 42 & feet. There will be two cars Instead of only one, as in previous airships of this type, almost purred, so anxious was she to tell every one that she was a loving sort of lioness to have about a menagerie.
