If this is the Chburch you wish to help, turn in your subscription to any of the ladies whose names appear below. 2 Profitable Fine. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Members of Presbyterian Women’s Band A partial list consits of Mesdames H. Olson, A. L. Collard, K. Mclyer, A. Lord, president, Jack Essler, Geo.|A. Warfield, Battles, J. J. Conger, M. Rhea, H. Koors, Geo..Cochran, Geo.|E. Smith, J. J. McLaughlin, Peck, S. Markham, A. B. Palmer, Dan Gracie, |E. P. White. WHAT SUBSCRIPTIONS COUNT One dollar cash will be paid to each Ladies’ Society for every yearly subscription, old or new, secured for the Daily Pioneer. When a.set of one hundred has been reached a special premium of §25 will be given. Thus for one hundred subscriptions the society securing them will have received a cash gift of $125. 1f a club secures but seventy-five yearly subscriptions, it will receive §75; if but fifty yearly subscriptions, $50; and if only ten are secured a cash gift of $10 will be made. For one six months ‘subscription to the Daily Pioneer, fifty cents will be paid, and for each additional six months subscriptions secured the rate will be paid the same. Thus, when two hundred of these six months subscriptions have been turned in, an addi- tional gift of $25 will be given. A six months subscription counts just half of a yearly subscription for the Daily Pioneer. One yearly subscription to the weekly Pioneer counts same as six months to the Daily, the only difference being the subscrip- tion price which is $1.50 a year. The Daily for six months is $2 and the Daily for one year is $4. Free. Premiums will be given to every subscriber. Detailed information may be had by telephoning Number 31, or calling in person at the Pioneer Office. |MAY HAVE NEW - SERVICE BOARD (Gontinued from first page.) when, it is-said, the subject will be discussed further. It is quite likely members of the public utilities com- mission in Wisconsin, New York and other states wiere it is in operation, will be invited to address the legis- lature this winter and explain. the operation of the plan. WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER 8heltered Existence, for One Thing. Though doctors have long realised that, thanks to a better knowledge of sanitation and personal hyglene, peo- ple are living longer than formerly, the much greater relative longevity of women, as shown in the recently published national debt office’s re- port on the mortality of government life annuitants, has come as a general surprise. In a summary of these figures it was shown that the expectation of life of a woman of fitty is now more than a year greater than it was in 1875, while that of a man of the same 8ge 18 only gbout three montha greater. 3 Discuesing the reasons of our fin creasing longevity, and in particular woman's stronger hold on life, physi- clans at St. Bartholomew's hospital advanced widely different theories. “The essential cause of death,” one stated, “Is & wearing out from over- work of our brain cells. Women may be just as brainy as men, but they do not work their brain cells as vig: orously or as continuously as do their men relatives. If they did there would not be se great a disparity in the length of life of the two sexes.” Another consultant put down wom- an’s greater expectation of life to the more sheltered existence she leads, and the lack of physically depressing competition which is part of nearly every .man’s life. “A woman may ‘have hard work to do,” he explained, “but, except for the few who work in offices or who follow professions, they work in their own homes, and at a pace they set for themselves. The home is also as a rule vastly more airy, sunny, and generally more whole- some than is her husband’s shop or office.” —_— MARVEL IN ANIMAL SOUND ‘Traveler Writes ‘Feelingly of Wonden ful Bray Put Forth by the ° Donkeys of China. In all the east today the donkey is favorite means of transportation, both for travelers and commercial burdens, It was so In the days of the patriarchs, Isaac and Jacob, and so it will remain probably for ages to come. But noth. ing in China 18 just like the same thing anywhere else in the world, the don- key being no exception. Dr. Chester of. Nashville says: “Their gait is a rough, insufferable jog, and their bray 18 a unique phenomenon. “The power of heredity, working through millenniums of isolation, with no modification from forelgn admix- ture, has developed in the bray of the Chinese donkey a quality all its own. There are no words in English to de- scribe the heart-rending pathos of it. It was as if an appeal to heaven against the cruelty and oppression of ages were at last finding utterance in one long, loud, undulating wail. And when our party of three met another party of six and all nine of the don- keys began at one time to exchange the compliments of the day, then pathos gave place to terror and one | p could only sit appalled and trembling as the mighty reverberation rolled away on its journey round the world.” Useful Pets In the Orient. ‘When I first took up my residence in Singapore one of the strangest things I saw was a number of lizarda that crawled about the walls, says the London Telegraph. My first few days ‘were spent in one of the largest and most up to date hotels, and I thought it strange that such things should be allowed “the run of the house.” On making inquiries, I learned that these little animals were called “chi haks,” and are necessity In every house, as they do no harm to anything or anybody except the numerous in- sects’ (mosquitoes included) that all tropical countries are plagued with. The chihak is treated with the great- est respect, and some of them are quite tame. There is one little fellow always on our dining table, and an- other can always be found under a fek low boarder’s inkstand. The boarder, being a “braw Scot,” has christened his little triend “Wee Jock.” 4 —_— Fortune Telling. Fortune telling is almost as old as the human race itself. We have no Xnowledge of the time when or place ‘where it originated. We only know that the practice was in vogue as far back as we can go. Some claim that it had its beginning with the astrolo- gers, who claimed that they were able to foretell the future by aid of the planets. The dldest of the na- tions were familiar with the practice, and by the gypsies it has been carried ell over the world. It is perfectly natural for man to want to know about tomorrow and next year, and it required but little effort on his part to listen to the fortune tellers. To this day the business is carried on ! with profit by the gypsies and others | ‘who impose upon the credulity of the superstitious.

Gray hair, however handsome it may be, makes a person look old. We all know the advantages of being young. Aside from the good impression a youthful appearance makes on others, simply knowing that you are “looking fit” gives one courage to undertake and accomplish things. So why suf- fer the handicap of looking old on ac- count of gray hairs, when a simple remedy will give your hair youthful color and beauty in a few days’ time?
