All Who TfftfF # tf Would good health , with ita blessings , must un derstand , quite clearly , that it involvea the question of right living with all the term implies. Wit-h proper knowledge of what is best , each hour of recreation , of enjoy ment , of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis pensed with to advantage , but under or dinary conditions in many instances a simple , wholesome remedy may be invalu able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Symp Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject j. truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it. Consequently , the Company's Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general satisfaction.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt , presi dent of the Equal Suffrage Union , does not in any way suit the descrip tion usually litted by chivalrous men to woman suffragists. Far from being n plaln-vlssigod. badly-gowned , rather pugilistic person. Mrs. Catt is alto gether charming , a delightfully wom anly woman and quite interested as to the : style and boauiy of her dresses and hats.

"Ellis Meredith , of Den ver , hns this to say about a certain phase of enfranchised women , and I wish nil men who discuss the subject would treat it as si tract. 'It is.

For Instance , a well-known 'Denver writer laments that since the disas trous year of 1893 he has seen upon the streets of Denver the sad faces of tlu unloved ; woman. Both before and since that time the sad faces of un loved and unlovable men have not been loa absent ! from our thoroughfares , but who ever thought of such a thing as wI disfranchising I ! a man in order that he might be rendered attractive ?

B.M ishioned Idea that a woman Is aomo- M thing of a household chattel as thing that should be soon and not heard. Perhaps , however , writes Karl Kramer , it is just because she is clever or that she can rise above this mascu line prejudice nnd keep right on in her own waj * . It takes a clever women to live down a man's prejudice. Then , too , poor little girl , she can't help be Ing clever , and , on the- whole , the clever girl is one of the best in the entire category of the fair sex. She's never tiresome , always enter taining and _ companionable , and makes The best Idnd of a friend to a follow Her cleverness helps him over bad places and her advice is always good. She's the girl that appeals , first tea a man's brain and Intellect , and then. If ho is a real man , to his heart , which she holds , even against himself. She isn't always conspicuous for beauty , this clever girl ; she Is often rather plain than otherwise but when It hap pens , as It frequently does , that she combines beauty with cleverness. sh- has pretty nearly everything her own way.

The hair ornaments of this season are unlike those that girls have worn before. This metal fillet , with gauze wings , is probably the most popular ac cessory to the coiffure. The wings are of gold gauze , ornamented with crys tals. They are mounted In front of a thin gold fillet which fits neatly over the top of the head. An Old Remedy.

Trade is expanding slowly but stead ily , wholesale and jobbing lines noting . some good orders for immediate deliv ery and rather more confidence in plac ing orders for spring. Conservatism is , however , noted in many sections , and some markets report a feeling of dis- appointment at the rate of progress making. I In the leading industries the ten dency is still toward gradual resump tion , but in fu\y cases is the-output up to a good nofinal. Uncertainty sis to tariff changes is still widely mentioned as a bar to full est activities , this being notable espe cially in iron and steel , where present demand is below expectations , and in some lines of textiles. Reports from the railways are of an increased merchan dise traffic Northwest and Southwest , but this is to a certain extent offset by restricted movement of grain to market. Business failures in the United States for the week ending with Jan. 21 were 307 , against 319 last week. 408 in the like week of 1908. 232 in 3907 , 276 in 1900 and 22 S in 190. .
