How Frenchwomen Keep Young Cosmetics lotions and powders cannot give tone to the skin nor radiance to the expression. The refined and cultured French society women are keenly alive to this fact. They are extremely careful in selecting their toilet Boaps. A fine medicated toilet soap is the only facial beautifier used by the really cultivated Parisian belle, and for this reason Savon Cadum is looked upon by society women of France as a positive necessity. Louis Nathan, of Paris, the chemist who makes Savon Cadum, probably knows more about the essentials of a complexion soap than "any other chemist in the, world.

There is not a thing in this soap that can harm the most delicate skin, and there Is just those elements In It to cleanse the pores of all dust and oily substances and give to the complexion a fresh, clean appearance. No woman who uses this soap daily for a week will find It necessary to return to cosmetics, powders, creams, lotions and the like. Savon Cadum is sold by dept. and drugr stores. Adv.)

Mead's Gift to MIddlebory. (From the Barre Times.) The somewhat hostile attitude assumed by the Carnegie Foundation Investigators toward the Vermont higher Institutions of learning seems to have solidified the alumni support of at least one of the three Institutions, Middlebury College. Close on the announcement of the proposal that the State of Vermont Should withdraw all financial support of Its three colleges came the pledge of a large number of graduates to contribute jja.000 apiece toward securing a more Adequate endowment. The suggestion therein contained has not been followed by crystallized plans along that line, but It was the Immediate forerunner of a fine donation toward the material equipment of the institution in the shape of a college chapel to replace an old structure which long had outlived its usefulness for th purposes originally Intended. A college needs an adequate building for the center of its religious life as well as for all gatherings which have to do with the literary or music side of the Btudent activities; and through the generosity of former Governor John A.

Mead, a graduate of the institution SO years ago the coming June, Middlebury will soon be placed in a position to realize the accomplishment of a long cherished hope. Th entire college family there from President Thomas down Should feel, 'and undoubtedly does feel, deep gratification. ABOLISH OFFICE OF AT- TORXET-GBXERAL. (From the Montpeller Journal.) "With very few exceptions the newspapers of Vermont can find no reasonable warrant for the amazing increase In the State's expenditures for detective eervlce during recent years awl are demanding that measures be taken as rpeedily as possible to effectually check such enormous outlays for work, the cost of which but seven years ago was insignificant compared with the present staggering total. The St.

Johnsbury Caledonian in its latest Issue has a pointed editorial article in which, after directing attention to the astounding increase in the cost of the work of detection, it declares Its belief that the Legislature will best eerve the people by abolishing the office of attorney-general through which these extraordinary outlays have been authorized. The Caledonian says that in 1901 detective service cost the State $631.75 nd this work so far as the apprehend sion of criminals was concerned was eati6factorily performed. The St. Johns-bury contemporary finds It difficult to understand why an increase of $24,054.44 a year is necessary for this particular kind of service. It further points out that in 1901 there was paid to State's attorneys $12,102.11 and to attorneys to assist them in criminal prosecutions $,516.68.

Adding thes two items to the cost of the work of detection it is found that the total expense of the detection and prosecution of criminals In 1901 was J17.270.54. Takinz uo the expenditures in 1913 the Caledonian shows that In that year there was paid State's attorneys to attorneys to assist them. to the attorney-generals, $9,153.94, and for detective service $21,679.61, a total BABY ONE WEEK OLD 1 HAD ECZEMA On Head and Neck.

He was very cross and fretful. Ha did ot sleep only when he had worried himself aick and then ba would cry out In his sleep. "I Med also and I used rerythlng I thought would help rk After ba was tlx weeks old I happened so think of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, so I sent for one cake of Outicura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I bathed the sores In very hot water and Cuticura Soap and then applied the Outscura Ointment with a soft doth. I had used them only two or three times when he was relieved and began to sleep.

Continuing the Caledonian says: "There is but one conclusion to be deducted from these figures and that is the legal frater nity has put one over on the voters and taxpayers and it is time to call a halt.

The question whether an attorney-general is necessary and worth the price he has cost Is a live one. We believe the Legisla ture will be doing the State good service if they abolish this office. Let the voters put competent men in the State's attorn- ney office and prosecute criminal cases ac cording to old methods." "When legislation creating the office of attorney-general was under discussion in the General Assembly in 1906 the chief ar gument in support of it was that the es tabllshment of such an office would be In the line of economy and tend to reduce the cost of the detection and prosecution of criminals. Experience has proven how utterly fallacious that argument was for expenditures for detective service alone since the State has had an attorney-general have increased at an amazing and very alarming rate. Starting with a total of $1,845.36 under C.

C. FItts in 1907 they have grown by leaps and pounds, until the present year there has been paid for the work of detection authorized by Attorney-General sum of $34,930.91 in nine months or at a rate of $46,574.56 for the twelve months. In the light of such figures the demand of the people of Vermont for action that will effectually check such enormous and, as they believe, unnecessary drafts on the State treasury, should be complied with as speedily as possible. SUFFRAGE NOTES. National Campaign In Spain In Favor of Suffrage.

Emilia Pardo Eazan has announced that she will start In the near future a national campaign in favor of woman suffrage. She is the foremost woman writer in Spain, her literary achievements having won for her the title of countess, which was given her by King Alfonso in 1908. Spain Is one of the three European coun tries which has not an organized woman suffrage movement, the other two being Greece and the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg. LOGIC OF ANTI-SUFFRAGISM. "I have long tried to grasp the logic of anti-suffragism.

If as is maintained by woman anti-suffragists the great major ity of women do not really want the vote that great majority will not bother themselves to use it when it is given them, for there is no compulsion in this matter. If women, in the mass, are and always will be as is alleged absorbed by domestic interests, why should they dread seduction from their proper functions? If, in fact, the vote Is a paltry addition to wom an's life, why this fear of the vote on the part of those so certain that women have no use for it? If, on the other hand, the vote is a worthy addition to woman's life how can any woman in her senses oppose the grant of it? "Again, if as is alleged by men antl suffragists men are by nature, politically speaking, superior to women, then, vote or no vote, men must always take the lead in politics. Why then this fear among men of granting the vote to wom en? "Why this timidity on the part of such as are convinced that nature has given them a lead of which they cannot be dispossessed? If, on the other hand women are by nature the political equals of men, it must be obvious even to men that they ought in justice to have the vote. "No, I am unable to grasp the logic of anti-suffragism." (John Galsworthy in Jus Suffragli.) COLORADO WOMEN USE POLITICAL POWER. The power of the vote has never been demonstrated more clearly than in the Incidents of the last few weeks in Colorado.

When the women of Colorado formed the Women's Peace association, their first act was to call upon Governor Ammons to send for federal troops to end the bloodshed in the coa-' districts. One thousand women, among them several members of the Legislature, marched to the House chamber of the Capitol and insisted upon seeing the Governor, although he at first said he had no time for them. The women said they would wait. When the Governor appeared they ordered him to do their bidding and he promised he would. The women waited until they knew the message was sent.

They made no threats just waited. Many of them were there from ten in the morning until ten at night. After a thorough Investigation of conditions the women of Colorado have now decided that the militia must not return to the strike fields. They have also pointed out that the Governor has -'un limited police power and should use it for seizing the mines owned by the State and held by the coal corporations on long leases; also that the State should operate the mines, recognizing and employing union men. Can anyone doubt that the Influence of the women has been greater in this crisis because they are voters than it would have been if they were merely wives, mothers and wage-earners? HILL WEST.
