Babyology Is a Tory fascinatlnc
study, co absorbing, in fact, that It
la better for a beginner to study
some one elec’s baby. Then the sub
ject can be dropped—in a soft place,
of coarse—at any time. Undertaking
to study her own baby, the student
\ may have. so much knowledge thrust
upon her that her brain reels and her
back aches, yet she cannot play hooky
without incurring the penalties of the
truant law.
A male baby may grow up to be a
philosopher and a gentleman, but in
his earlier years he le as unreason
ing and ill-tempered as a hornet. He
win howl without provocation and
kick his own mother in the face while
the le trying to pull a pin out of his
lag.
A girl baby always has a chance to
become a sweet, lovrble, useful wom-
• an; but If she le the only beby, has
foolishly fond parents, and le unpro
tected from grandmotherly Influences,
the chance is only one in a million.
A man hates to play second fiddle to
anything, and most of all does he rebel
at taking a back seat in his own
home; but when baby comes ho soon
learns to accept an uncushioned pew
In Ute extreme rear and to be grateful
for that.
While bankers will advise a cus
tomer who can afford it to put some of
his money in “Babies, Ltd.,’’ they will
warn him that a baby is not an adver
tisement, but a speculation—you can
never tell how it will turn out.
Luckily babies come in small sizes
only. If they were manufactured In
six-foot lengths, with a proportionate
Increase in their •potentialities for cor
nering affections, vocalizing, and oth
erwise upsetting tho even tenor of a
household, the legal limit would have
to be fixed at one baby per township.
And that would be carrying the doc
trine, “Fewer babies and better ones,”
too far; for sad will be the day when
the Mothers’ club cannot borrow a
live model to illustrate Miss Permelia

American Refugees In Oztsnd In Dire

Turn of,Wheel.
A 8gn Frar.cisco real estate firm has
received a letter from a client telling
how he replenished his purse by risk
ing his last coin at roulette, when
his appeals home for money were
fruitless on account of conditions fol
lowing the breaking out of hostilities
in Europe. He waa in Ostend when
the actual fighting began, and bad
been traveling in Europe for some
months. For obvious reasons his
name is withheld. The letter says,
in. part:
“We had made Ostend our objec
tive point,, considering it the most
favorable point for awaiting develop-,
ments. The morning after our arrival
there a complete paralysis of the
financial situation established itself,
nothing available had any circulating
value; checks, letters of credit, the
American Express company or travel-
era’ checks, or even Belgian paper
money, all shared the same fate. That
evening our limited capital consisted
of eight francs in my pocket. Of
course, I had depended upon my let
ters of credit.
“We went in silence walking down
the ocean shore. Both myself and
wife wondered where we would go
next, and what would become of us,
when we came upon a brilliantly
lighted kursaal. It occurred to us we
might correct our fortune by staking
it all upon the roulette wheel. At
the mest it couldn’t render our lot
any worse than it was. To our hor
ror, however, the inscription, ‘five
francs entree,’ confronted our eyes.
That would leave us but three francs' though practically the only people

nal. Many of the most important
drugs come from Europe, and the sup
ply of these will be cut down materi
ally, while cosmetic Imports will al
most disappear from the market.
nThere are two things that we can well
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics the women are
beautiful enough without them. It
would doubtless be a matter of public
policy if the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than they are. If cosmetics
helped them to do this, of which there
• Is serious doubt, it would be well If
the tariff were made so high as to
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need of this, since cosmetics, ss s rule,
make women lees attractive and con-
•equently Ms* harmful to men.
Beauty ought to be a moral influence,

Studying Health Insurance.
The National Civic federation has
I'.isuuuea i^qaines into the jslaCJutd*
in foreign countries of insuring wage
earners against misfortune, and as a
result the social service department
cf the federation is considering the
desirability of recommending legisla
tion to provide for compulsory Insur
ance for Illness.
A committee has been in London
to study the operation of the national
Insurance act of Great Britain. Em
ployers were asked about the coet
of the insurance and ita relation to
businesa. Wage earners were asked
to give information regarding the ef
fects on wage rates, on the conditions
of employment, and on their general
welfare. Changes in the cost of poor
relief and any reduction in the death
rate from preventable diseases were
Investigated.
Thla general survey will prepare the
way for an Investigation by a commis
sion next spring, when an effort will
be made to bring together all infor
mation which will serve social Insur
ance purposes in the United States.

The Gazette varies in size very con

price always remains the same, viz
one ihilllng. There was one memor
able week la 1847, which was known
as the “Railway Year," when so many
parliamentary notices had to be pub-
Uuu the Gasette for the week
totaled about three thousand pages.
One of the most interesting numbers
of the Gazette ever published was the
Diamond Jubilee number, the whole
paper being devoted to an official rec
ord of that historic celebration.
As an illustration of the Importance
of the Gazette in the old days, it
might be mentioned that as recently
ai the Crimean war the Gazette was
the first to publish that important item
of news, the victory of Alma. At one
time the London newspapers had to
wait for the publication of the Gazette
in order to secure such news of public
importance m the list' of casualties,

“No Oure No Pay” Plan.

There are a good many people in
Walterboro who ardently wleh they
could find some way of getting fat
and plump. Whic not ill,' yet they
are so thin and scrawny that their
friends think they cannot be well.
In nine cases out of ten this condi
tion can be readly overcome by using
the combination of flesh-forming
foods known as Samose. The little
tablet taken three time* a day with
the food does wonders ia building
up good health and restoring the
pleasing plumpness that Is so desir
able. „
John M. Klein has the agency for
this preparation and sells it with
the promise that if it does not do
all that is claimed for it in making
people gain In weight and In health,
the money will be refunded.
You certainly can afford to try a
50 cent box on this plan, as Samose
will- cost you nothing unless it gives
