PERFECT TOTS TO BE tOWAfJS' SCHEME Expert Sent to Europe by Women to Study Eugenics Baby Contest.
DES MOINES, Dec. 7. "Iowa's Idea" the production of perfect babies has truly taken a hold on the minds of Iowa's women, and the suggestion first made a few months ago by Dr. Margaret V. Clark has developed into an earnest movement. No more will a child's fathomless blue eyes win it a prize at a baby show. Scant are its chances of taking the ribbon unless its chest measures so much, its nerves respond to such and uch a tent and its teeth are sound. Women's clubs in the state have voted indorsements of the plan of Dr. Clark, and discussions of ancient poets and modern problems will be supplanted by consideration of the question of the scientific rearing of children, because, declares Dr. Clark, in the solution of the latter problem IIcb the solution of every other problem now confronting Iowa, every other state in this country and every country in the world. Social and moral life are the natural result of physical ills. Dr. (Mark believes, and so she began promulgation of a Des Moines club she made a ringing declaration that children should be scientifically "scored" as well as horses, sheep, cattle, dogs and various sorts of grain. This speech resulted In a conference later of women interested in sociological problems. Accordingly, when the Iowa state fair was held these women conducted a baby grading contest, and there was bigger crowd in the building devoted to their work than there was where the men were tying ribbons on the live tock. Standards of perfection in weight, height, color, shape of head and condition of eyes, nerves and teetb were established and the babies were stripped, placed upon tables and judged. Reports of the proceedings were features of many sessions of women's organizations after that, and so interested were the members that baby shows of the districts were immediately decided on and held. Then after the measurements had been taken of a good share of the infant population of the state the mothers turned to questions of scientific betterment. Dr. Clark was authorized to make a trip to Europe to study eugenics there and report on her return the most accepted methods of obtaining well born children and healthfully rearing them. Dr. Clark will leave New York on December 12, and will spend four months in the hospitals of Berlin and two months in traveling on the continent and studying hospitals of other countries. She will be 'accompanied by her husband, also a physician, Dr. G. Hardy Clark, of Waterloo. The two doctors Clark have been married twenty-five years and, though childless, they have made a study of the care of children and of infant ills. Buch confidence have the Iowa women, especially the members of the Iowa Federation of Women's clubs and the Iowa Mothers' congress, in the plan of Dr. Clark that, they already are pointing to the time when It will be as great a recommendation for a man or woman to announce they were "Born in Iowa" as for manufactured articles to bear the label "Made In Madagascar." A German explorer has discovered a South American native tribe which regards eating in public as something of which to be ashamed.
Health and Beauty Helps By Mrs.Mae Martyn
A. A.: I know just how you feel, but unlesB you discard powder and use a plain spurmax lotion, you cannot expect to overcome the oily, "muddy" condition of the skin. Get four ounces spurmax and dissolve in onehalf pint hot water, then all two teaspoonfuls glycerine. This makes an Ideal lotion and will clear the skin of pimples, blackheads and other Impurities. The spurmax lotion is invisible when on and does not rub or blow off. Using it gives the complexion a velvety smoothness and exquisite tint. Nellie: You can avoid the pain and expense attending the use of electric needle, if you will get an original ounce package of delatone, and with a little of the powder mix enough water to form a paste. Apply to hairy surface and in two or three minutes scrape off and the hairs come with it. Then wash the skin and you will find It smooth and white. You will have to pay a dollar an ounce for delatone, but this is trifling as it never fails. A. R.: The shampoo you mention contains "free" alkali, and it is this no doubt that causes your hair to grow coarse and brittle and fall out. A cleansing and very beneficial shampoo can be made by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot water. This lathers freely and loosens every particle of dust and dandruff. Rinsing leaves the scalp immaculately clean and the hair dries quickly and evenly, while it takes ou a lustre and softness truly charming. Freda: From what you say. your condition is serious, and I would suggest taking a blood-cleanser. You will find that plain kardene. found in any drug store, is splendid for ridding the system of impurities and rebuilding Waste tissue. This acts gently and greatly stimulates every organ in the body. You can make your own tonic by dissolving one-half cupful sugar in a half-pint alcohol, then adding one ouace kardene and hot water to make a quart. Take a tablespoonful three times a day, and yiu will soon be well and strong and able to enjoy a good night's resL i Jessie: I cannot recommend an ye-salve because this does not reach

In "The Girl of My Dreams," the new musical comedy in which Jos. M. Gaites is starring John Hyams and Leila Mclntyre, there will be a strong Quaker element manifesting itself not only in costumes but in language, of at least two of the principal characters. Although one of the most quaint and interesting features of American life, the Quaker is rarely seen on the stage of late years even less frequently than a decade or two ago. "The Girl of My Dreams" is described as an atmospheric musical play. It is in two acts and is the work of Wilbur I). Nesbit of the Chicago Evening Post, and Otto Hauerbach. Karl Hoschna is responsible for the music, which he confidently asserts is even more alluring than his two former great successes, "Three Twins'' and "Bright Eyes." The comedy element is said to be largely of the farcicial kind, with amusing situation s that happen naturally with the telling of the story. Jos. M. Gaites has engaged an exceptionally well-balanced company of players to support Hyams and Mclntyre, among whom are Alice Hills, Percival Aylmer, Harold Forbes, Henrietta Lee, Carrie Bowman, Wm. G. Ricciardi and Irving Brooks. The production, it is promised, will be a most elaborate one from a scenic as well as costume standpoint. "The Girl of My Dreams," will be the attraction at the Gennett tonight. "Lew Dockstader." In modified minstelsy the highest marke has been attained by Lew Dockstader's latest connection. With all the scenery of a spectacle and the costumes of a musical comedy, "Lew Dockstader's Great Minstrels," which appear at the Gennett next Monday night has reached the apex of minstrelsy. The singing of the soloists in the first part, the splendid work of the comedians, the clever dancers and the excellent order of the musical offerings are of such a high grade as is only witnessed in a Dockstader producthe seat of trouble. What you require for sore eyes and granulated lids is an eye-tonic, and at little cost you can prepare your own. Get from the druggist one ounce cyrstos and dis solve in a pint cold water, then put two or three drops in the eyes every day. This tonic is very strengthening to weak, tired muscles, and its continued use overcomes burning and itching and gives to dull, expressionless eyes a remarkable sparkle and brilliancy. Clara: You certainly have cause to worry about your hair, and unless the brittleness is overcome and the dandruff removed from the scalp, you will have very' little hair in a short while. I am sure you will obtain excellent results from quinzoin hair-tonic, the formula of which is here given: Mix together one-half pint each of alcohol and water and into this pour one ounce quinzoin. Use frequently and massage well into the scalp. Do this for a time and you will not be bothered with an unhealthy scalp or dull, lifeless hair. The persistent use of this quinzoin hair-tonic will give you a magnificent head of glossy hair. Mrs. G. M.: It is an easy matter to reduce your weight to where you want it and regain your former figure, if you will use this simple treatment: Into a pint-and-a-half hot water dissolve four ounces parnotis, and when it cools take one tablespoonful before each meal. This gradually takes off weight without injury or inconvenience and does not leave the skin wrinkled or flabby. Mrs. E.: The cold winds are very trying on any complexion. However, if you make up and use this greaselesi cream jelly your skin will soon become soft.ciear and velvety and wrinkles and other complexion troubles will be a thing of the past: Into a half-pint cold water stir two teaspoonfuls glycerine and one ounce almozoin. Let remain several hours before using. Apply freely after cleansing and drying the skin, massaging gently until it disappears. A few such treatments fill banish pimples, blackheads and otter impurities and give a pink and white embellishment to an old or Xaded complexion, j

tion. Lew Dockstader has a brand new budget of songs and monologue that will tickle the ribs of the most blase. Neil O'Brien, a popular favorite, will be seen in a funny act entitled "Reforming the Force." In all respects the Dockstader show this season is said to be the "best ever."
Murray. An all star bill is the one being presented at the Murray this week and the public have been showing their appreciation by packing the house at every performance so far on the week. The show opens with the Prosit Trio in Clown Alley, these three young men have been most successful as fun makers and their acrobatic work is far above that of the average circus performer. Mus-Art Trio who sing, . play upon the piano and illustrate their songs by means of crayon drawing have on' of the best and neatest acts sees here for some time. AH three you men are possessed of good voices a two of them are expert musicia The crayon drawings executed byone young man are most excell and very much appreciated. Brooks and Vedder, two jolly tertainers. are one of the bi hits!' the bill and keep the audience if continual roar. They have a lot of w songs and gags which only they cld use to advantage. The work of the Great Eldonthe magician who impersonates the reat magacians, Hermann, Kellar f and Thurston, has been well reeeiveluring the week. He gives impefonations of these different wonderfta magicians and also presents theirjfavorite tricks and illusions. Mr. Eldon himself is a clever magician, jbd he is particularly successful in lb imitation of the Great Hermann. "The Cowboy Thief."; Manager Murray announce! the attraction, "The Cowboy and tie Thief as the attraction at the Gnett on Saturday, matinee and niht. The company and the production comes intact from the big city tJe where it played to bigger business than any other attraction on the ciicuit, proving its undoubted success, jt is, as its title would imply a drama if the west, and while dealing with tbJ land west of the Rockies, with cowbfys and bad men, it is one of the better types of western plays, such as The Squaw Man" and others of that eharacter. It is a good wholesome flay treating with characters that live little more strenuous life than we Of the effete East. J The story deals wlttf love affairs of a bashful cowboy aM a very pretty western girl. And the attempt to shield a brother who has strayed from the straight road and become mixed with a band of cattle thieves. Although the action of the play is brisk there are many exciting climaxes, it is still consistent in holding the interest from the fall of the curtain to the rise. The scenic equipment is complete, and it is said $o be one of the best productions ewtour at popular prices. ' Heinemann. Alexander Heinemann, the world renowned German lieder singer, will be j heard in Richmond Dec. S at the theaiter. His voice is ajpowerful one, enabling him to bring. out with wonderful ! effect, the climaxes of the songs. With ; this power he combines an excellent use of mezzo-voice and in the mezzoj forte his voice is round and of a beauI tiful quality. His enunciation is at all 'times admirable and his faculty of characterizations is many sided. Mr. Heinemann is accompanied on j the piano by Mr. John Mandelbrod.

DROPPED HER PUFFS Oil MARMLO HEAD Riot Narrowly Averted at Exposition of Business Women in Chicago. CHICAGO. Dec. 7 Rioting was narrowly averted in the Stratford hotel when Miss Frances I. Klegg, an enthusiasms manufacturer of artificial hair, who is participating in the business woman's show in the hotel parlors, dropped one perfectly good bunch of puffs squarely upon the bald head of Thomas Grubb, a guest at the hotel. The hotel lobby was filled with men
and at the sight of Mr. Grubb, the bald-headed business man, supposedly from Nebraska, and here on a buying trip, adorned with the puffs of the correct Titian red. they crowded about hooting and yelling. The pretty manufacturer threw her hands up in horror when she saw what had been the result of her slip in handling her wares for the edification of a visitor at the show, which open ed last night with fifty-six exhibits. Fifty-six booths, each exploiting the work of feminine "captains of industry," were thrown open to the pub lic at the first annual exposition of the Business Women's National League of America, of which Mrs. Katherine Ab bott, of Chicago, is president.
