THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO 'BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES She broke The Record Mrs Thomas R. Marshall, wife of the Vice-President, is opposed to equal suffrage. She believes that a ‘woman’s place is at home. Yet the’ press dispatches tell wus that since March 4 Mrs. Marshall has made be- tween fifteen hundred calls, and has broken all the records ever establish- ed by the wife of any former Vice- President or of any cabinet minister. Nor was Mrs. Marshall obliged to do it. Official etiquette only dequires the Vice-President’s wife to make a “first call” on the wife of the President, and her obligation to return calls is limited to the wives of members of the cabinet, justices of the Supreme Court and ambassadores. Mrs. Mar- shall apparently enjoys making calls, “It has been pleasure to me,” she is reported as saying. “I actually feel grateful for the institution which makes calling in Washington the chief feature of social life.” Mrs. Marshall is not charged with slighting her domestic duties because of her fondness for society. But if she can make nearly sixteen hundred calls in seven months, without neg- lecting her family, is it not pos- sible that other women could find time tg vote once a year? —The ‘Womah's; Journal.

The clock is so simply built that the cur- rent of air produced by a stove or kitchen range is sufficient to make it go. The air is brought to the clock by a pipe fixed upon the wall. A very strong current is reduced by a certain clever contrivance which regulates the speed of the works. This clock serves at the same time as a ventilator. Interest by Mechanism. A Hungarian citizen has invented an instrument which shows instantly the amount of interest due on any given sum for any period at any given rate of interest. The instrument. which is made in the size and shape of a watch, has a very simple construction. and all that is necessary to operate it is to place the hands in the proper position on the dial and the exact amount of interest in each case is indicated om the face.

The . ordinary sitting position in a chair is not sufficient. as the lower extremi- ties are still more or less rigid. The chair should be an easy one, with an extension or a footstool to support the lower limbs just a trifle below the level of the body. A better rest can be had, however, by lying full length on a couch or: bed with the arms and legs sprawling in the man- ner adopted by the tramp when he takes a sleep by the wayside.

FEW CHANGES ARE MADE Bill Goes to Senate In Practically the Same Shape as It Was Reported.| - From CQmmIMee—Long Fight Like- ly in Upper Branch. Wash!ngton, Sept. 19.—The admin- istration currency bill reached the end of the first stage of its legislative ca- reer, passage by the house by a vote of 286 to 84. The measure, complet- ed in detailed consideration after three days of efforts to amend, reach- | ed a final vote in the house practical: ly unchanged in its essentml provi- slons. Some house Democrats were inclin- ed to look with disfavor on an amend- wment incorporated in the measure at the suggestion of the banking com- mittee. The amendment, proposed by Representative Fess (Rep., 0.) in- cluded a statement that none of its provisions were calculated to repeal the law of 1900 prescribing the gold money standard or to disturb the par- ity of money. Chairman Glass, however, declared that the amendment only made clear the meaning of the bill as originally framed. A few minor amendments changing phraseology or designed to make clear possible ambiguities in the bill were the only changes made. de- spite the consideration of hundreds of amendments offered by Republic- ans and Progressives.

LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Look years younger! Use Grand mother’s recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur and nobody will know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natur- al color dates back to grandmother’s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abund- ant. Whenever her hair fell cut or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowdays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended up- on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- druff, dr,y, feverish, itchy scalp and falling. hair, A well-known druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it.and draw this through your hair, taking ome strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.
