City Economies Just because a city is big, we fall into the habit of supposing it teneath the dignity of city officials to economize in small things. We say to ourselves, "Here are 25,000 people. They are worth a mountain of money. Therefore, what is the use of being niggardly with the taxes? Let's be generous and do big things. Even if we do get in debt, it won't matter much. The money will come somehow." This is all very foolish. If a city with all its money really did pay the taxes, it would be a different matter, but that is not the case. Private individuals in the city are the tax-payers. The little merchant by dint of years of hard work and close economy saves up enough to buy a property; a widow inherits a little five room cottage; the working man has practiced self-denial and built a home. These and many others like them are the ones who pay the taxes. Every dollar in the city treasury represents work or labor on someone's part. The city official has that money on trust and is just as responsible for its wise expenditure as if he held it on trust for an orphan. If a man works for a grocery-keeper and gets into the habit of carrying groceries home for his own use without paying for them, he is a thief. The city official who uses other people's money for himself is just as much a thief. If a man who works in a store sneaks in late each morning, he is cheating his employer. A city official who doesn't put in a full day's work every working day in the year is equally a cheater. If a worker in a factory can't do his work or is too lazy to work he is fired. Some day we will have it so that the public official who can't or won't do the work for which he is paid will also be fired. If the manager of a factory uses his capital in a wasteful and extravagant manner, he is called to account by the board of directors. They say to him, "You are our steward, using our money. You must use it more economically or we will find another manager." Isn't it just as essential for a city official to be economical? If the Steel Trust, which is worth many millions of dollars, finds it worth while to economize on stamps and lead pencils, wouldn't it also be worth while for a city officeholder? Dayton's new city government seems to think that small economies are not beneath the dignity of a big city. In one item of advertising they re saving $30,000 a year. They found that where they had used official advertising twice, they need now only use it once. Last year they paid $1.00 per "square" for publicity; this year they pay 30 cents per "square." The same advertising notices which they paid $90.50 for last year they now get for $8.70.

and led its president to exclaim, "How many

women really know what they are buying and whether or not they are getting value received lor their money!" Perhaps the good housewife once had an excuse for not knowing these things, but she has now no longer. With such organizations as the Housewives League to help her and such books and magazines as are now printed to give her the information, no house-keeper can any longer shirk the responsibility of really learning how to spend money. All this sounds very crass and material and some women may feel that it would be a dreadful kind of drudgery. Just the opposite, however, is the case. " Those women who now find household work a drudgery would find it grow interesting if they made a profession out of it. There is no reason why the management of a household should not be as interesting and as dignified as the management of a dry goods store or a doctor's office.

"THE LIBRARY AND YOU." The trouble with the library is that there is too much affectation in the whole management. It was the case formerly that we conld take a catalogue and select a book that one would think he would like to read. Instead of that when one goes for a

book they will in a very low whisper j

COLDS AND CROUP IN CHILDREN. Many people rely upon Chamberlain's Cough Remedy implicitly in cases of colds and croup, and it never disappoints them. Mrs. E. H. Thomas, Logansport. Ind., writes: "I have found Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to be the best medicine for colds and croup I have ever used, and never lire of recommending it to my neighbors and friends. I have always given it to my children when suffering from croup, and it has never failed to give them prompt relief." For sale by all dealers. ( Adverttstreqt)

MILTON

The Housewife Our economic system is built like a triangle with three sides. One is the production side and has to do with the making of the things we use. Another is the distributing side and has to do with getting the things that are made to people who use them. The third side deals with the consumption of these things. We have spent a great deal of thought and work on improving the producing and distributing sides, but we have neglected the consuming side. The result is that our studies of the high cost of living are beginning to reveal to us that one reason for high prices is that we are wasteful and extravagant in our buying and in our using these things in the house. The National Housewives League, of which Mrs. Julian Heath is president, is teaching the country some needed lessons in this kind of economy. This League has pointed out that while manufacturers, business men, professional men and laborers have been making every effort to improve the other two sides of the triangle, the housewives have been doing little or nothing to improve their side of it. Methods now used by house-keepers were probably well enough as conditions were fifty years ago, but they are as much out of place in this day and age as an ox-cart would be. As Mrs. Heath says, "If one-half of our business men conducted their business as women do their house-keeping, the country would soon be bankrupt." How many women understand the market onditions and what it is that regulates the prices of the things they buy? How many women know how these things are made and understand how to judge them? Very few can even tell one cut of beef from

another. - , j How many are able to know whether they are ;

getting their money s worth when they spend the dollars their husbands work so hard to earn ? This ignorance of her economic functions has appalled the members of the Housewives League

The Danger of Crowds We had something to say in these columns recently about the "power of crowds." In that editorial we tried as best we could to tell how a great French scientist, Gustav LeBon, explains the way a man behaves when he comes under the control of a crowd. It happens that recent mob riots in Tokio, Japan, strikingly illustrate this theory. A number of agitators in that city got thousands of people to gather into mass meetings. These agitators were selfish and short-sighted men, most of them, and had their own ends in view. They had an instinctive understanding of the way to handle a mass of people. They crowded them into buildings, or packed them in around a street corner and then talked and harangued at them for hours at a stretch. After a time, these crowds began to form into mobs, rushed to the Parliament building and battered down the doors and tried hard to rush in on the Japanese legislators. The connection between these mass meetings and the mob riots is clearly explained by psychology. Psychology is that science which deals with a human mind, its functions and laws. According to psychology, the chief reason a man becomes overpowered in a crowd and loses self-control is that he becomes filled up with fatigue poison. Fatigue is the condition of being tired out. In such a state one's body becomes full of poisons which are called toxins by the doctors. These fatigue poisons are carried by the blood into the brain where they act like other poisons. In a short time, they will so numb and paralyze the brain cells that the mind suffers. The first mental qualities to be injured by this poisoning are the noblest and highest, such as judgment, calmness, logic, patience and the feeling of brotherhood. The c'-magogue who is trying to control a crowd will keep the members of it from think-

anger and desire. These passions take control of a man when his higher faculties have become paralyzed and in such condition he will do things and consent to have things done, he would not have tolerated in calmer moments. It is because of this that men who deal with people in the mass never have a very high opinion of them. "The public be damned," said Vanderbilt. "The public! the public is a beast," exclaimed Alexander Hamilton; and saintly old Dr. Chalmers burst forth one day, "The public is just a big baby." Until men learn what effect the power of the crowd has over them, these mob riots such as occurred last Tuesday in Tokio may be expected to happen at any place and any time.

WINTER ON THE HILLS

I know a haunt amid the hills Where winter trumpets loud and long, Where the gray nortli wind never stills The burden of its song. Here all the slopes are white as sleep's Ethereal distances unrolled, And here, with stealthy footfall, creeps. The specter of the cold. Here, when the red-rimmed sun goes down And dark firs stand in silhouette. One seems to see and feel the frown Of death, and yet, and yet Let but the springtime set to lip One lyric reed and blow a call, And how this bleak domain will slip Its icy gyve and thrall! "Life! Life!" the leaping sap will sing; "Life! Life!" the stirring sod will cry, And many another voice will ring In rapture of reply! The sepulchre will be unsealed. To earth's .renewal found the clew, And to man's eyes will be revealed God's miracle anew! Clinton Scollard in New York Sun.

More training schools for nurses and better distribution of them are shown to be necessary from statistics just compiled by the United States Bureau of Education. There are 1,094 nursetraining schools in the United States, and nearly 80 per cent of these were in the small area of the Eastern and North Central states. In all the rest of the country only 304 nurse-training schools are reported. Standards of nurse training have been rising constantly. In keeping with the growing importance of the nursing profession. Thirty-four of the States and the District of Columbia now have laws prescribing examinations and other tests for the "registered nurse." The states that have not yet legislated on the subject are: Alabama, Ken

tucky, Maine, Mississippi, Nevada,

Arizona, New Mexico, North Dakota,

Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont. Several of these states have organizations actively working in behalf of adequate

safeguards for nursing, and It Is believed to be only a short time when all the states will cover the subject of nurse training. According to officials of the Bureau, training schools for nurses throughout the country are steadily effecting improvements in their work and conditions. The professional field of nursing is widening and embracing new and Important activities, and offering new Incentives to effort. One of the notable developments In the last two years, since the last complete report on the subject has been issued. Is the application of nurse service In everincreasing extent to the public schools. Public interest In hospitals and training schools is growing, and an Intelligent public opinion on nursing affairs Is gradually forming. The education of nurses, long looked upon as a matter in which hospitals only were concerned, is now beginning to be seen as a matter in which the public alio is deeply and necessarily concerned.

KALEM'S FIVE REEL, $50,000 PRODUCTION MADE IN THE HOLY LAND WHERE THE EVENTS ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

FVom

Saturday Second Series of KathIyn.,

From the Manger to the Cross" is a wonderful film of moving pictures. It is probably the most expensive and carefully planned film in the world. The life of Christ from His birth in a manger at Bethlehem to His crucifixion upon the cross at Mount Calvary is presented in moving form. The pictures are presented in five parts, but each part in turn is broken into short sections. This proves a decidedly effective way of breaking the tense situations that develop. It seemed more like a solemn church service than moving pictures. The audience sat in absolute silence. The Kalem Company followed Hoffman in presenting the features of Christ, Tissot in the detail of dress and costumes and Herr Schick in architectural matters. The Babe of Bethlehem and the Christ child were overshadowed in the first parts by the wonderful pictures. One lost sight of the Christ in the striking scenes of Eastern life. Later, the Christ dominated the film. The pictures are wonderfully good, depict the customs and scenes of the Holy Land and visualize many things that had seemed unreal. They have wonderful educational value. "The Evening Sun."

A SURE WAY TO END DANDRUFF

Stop Falling Hair and Itching Scalp At Once.

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it gently with the finger tips. By morning, most, if not all. of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve, and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. If you value your hair, you should get rid of dandruff at once, for nothing destroys the hair so quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everybody notices it.
