KEEP 1T QUIET.

Women Who Smoke Cigarettes at Home
r. Try to Destroy Signs.
1T is one of the secrets Of the trade,
but don't mind telling you confden-
tally that more women in this town
smoke cigarettes than you ever
dreamed Of" said the aapper little
French manicure operator who has a
fashionable place in State street.
Lots of them come here to have the
stains of the smoke removed from
their fingers. This has becomea reg
u1ar part of our custom, and fully as
many women with smoke stained fin.
gers come to us as do those who show
no sign of the habit. s
When a woman once gets the Gig
arctic habit she is obliged to smoke at
home, and it doesn't take long to STAN
her fingers 10 such an extent that she,
cannot conceal the evidence Of her
folly from Ter husband and friends, AMI
she is obliged to go to manicure to
have the yellow tinge removed. 81.
'sAt first they are satisfied with a
dainty, perfumed cigarette that is SO
mild that it does not stain the fingers,
but they soon want sonnet thing stronger,
and resort TO the cheaper but8more IN
toxicating grades. The smell of Gig
arctic smoke upon the breath may be
destroyed by a liberal use Of hot water
and certain chemica listerine being
the best known disinfectant--- but soap
and water will not remove stains from
the fingers. .... u
What will do it? O, that is one Of
the secrets Of the trade SO:
The operator went on to say her Oh
servation taught her that men were
generally proud OF their cigarette fin
gers, and seldom requested that specia,
effort be made to cleanse them. Women
also conceal the evidence of the per-
Eicious habit more from desire to
keep it from their friends than from
i,ride in the appearance Of their hands.
The confirmed cigarette smoker, man
or woman, becomes Indifferent as the
senses become dulled by the poisonous
ingredients Of the cigarette, and were
it not for q sense OF shame, we would
see as many smok stained fingers on
the hands of women as on men. Chi,

TO SLEEP WELL,

a Light Supper just Before Retiring Is
Usually Beneficial.
A light supper just before retiring is
usually of advantage. Babies and brute
animals are usually somnolent when
their stomachs are well supplied with
food, the activity of the stomach with
drawing the excess of blood from the
brain, where it is not needed during
sleep. On the other hand, people who
are very hungry usually find it difficult
tn sleep. And, then, a habit Of sleep at
regular time and during proper hours
should be cultivated in case this habit
has been lost. In accomplishing this
the attainment of a favorable state of
==s:cind is of great Importance. Sleep car
not be enforced by direct exercise of
the will. "A
The very efortof the will to command
sleep is enough to render it's attain
ment nugatory, The mental state to
be encouraged is one Of quiescence, one
OF indifference, 2 feeling that the re-
cumbent posture is a proper one for rest
and that # the thoughts are disposed
to continue active they may be safely
allowed to take their course without
any effort toward control. This state
OF mind and thought is next akin to
dreams and dreaming is next akin to
sound sleep.
Many mental methods have been ad-
vised and put in practice for the pur-
pose of securing sleep, the design being
to turn the thoughts from objects Of
interest to condition of monotony; as
by mentally repeating well-remem-
bered phrases or sentences, or by count
ing. But the state Of indifference, if
this can be obtained, is likely to be the
most efficient, as being the least active.
The mere mention of these simple
methods will be sufficient to suggest
others equally Effective. Medical Rec

MIR. BRYAN, in one of his many ex-
cellent speeches, said: You can take
the roof off of house and not de-
stoy it; but remove the foundation
and the house must foil. The farm
ers are the foundation of American
independence and American pros
perity. This class of people in 1860
owned of the 16 billions of wealth.
In 1899, while the wealth had in
creased from 16to GA billions or fold,
the farmers's share in it had decreas-
ed to Is billions and Of this one-third
was under mortgage. Is not sys-
tenn Of finances that destroys the
wealth Of the wealth producers-a
system that undermines the founda-
tion and which, il presisted in, will
cause the destruction on the entire
structure. Think of it-$5, 900, 600, 900
of farm mortgages-with money
growing scarcer and products less
valuable each year, while taxes and
fixed charges remain unchanged, un-
changed, or increasing. Whittier are
we drifting.

In replying to statement made by
a Toledo paper, to the effect that
Rev. Ingle and his sons would sup
port Bryan, the Rev. says:
"If l were choosing to be u bug
among the bugs | would certainly
rather be gold bug than a silver
bug. My sons do not vote for any
name under the heading Democrat.
Their father was q soldier, so that
we do not drill under that name"
Rev. Ingle goes great way out of
the straight and narrow path usually
trod by ministers of the gospel, thus
to insult many of his followers IN
Christ, men who assist no doubt in
supporting him in his ministry. He
may have been q good soldier, but he
must also admit that there were hun,
dreds of Democrats as good soldiers
as he was, Notwithstanding he insinu
ates that a soldier cannot be expect
ed to drill under the name of Demo
crat. Away with such bigotry in this
enlightened age.

TIMELY AND A STRONG AP-
PEAL TO LABOR.
John n. Bogart, of the American
Federation of Labor, Anal
Yves the Speech of the
Nominee and Makes
Predictions.
Mass delegation.

John n. Bogart. of the American
Federation, utters the following
strong endorsement of Mr.. Bryan's
Labor Day speech at Chicago;
This speech is very timely. 1t is
more than an address 70 the workers
in Chicago-it appeals to the tollers
everywhere. 1t will bring out and
crystallize the labor sentiment of
the entire country. The attempt to
suppress this sentiment will rather
develop it, broaden it, deepen it.
strengthen and embolden it, make it
more determined in its say. Inquiry
from all parts of the industrial world
will now be focused upon the issues
represented by Mr.. Bryan's candi-
dacy.
His strong expressions in behalf of
the common people; his quotations
from jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln;
his demand for government without
favortism; his recommendations of
arbitration in labor dispute; his ad-
Yocacy of proper legislation on the
problem of the unemployed; and
! finally his eXaltation of labor organi-
| cations and their, achievements, plac-
! ing them above associations of bank
ers, railroad magnates and monopo-
| lists in their relations with the gen
eral public-all these will touch the
responsive chord among city work
ers and farmers.
Mr.. Bryan is distinctly a peoples
candidate. l believe the plain peo-
pie of this country-whom Abraham
Lincoln loved-feel that they again
have candidate for President whom
they can trust as they have not
trusted any other candidate since
Lincoln. The history of our country
shows four such true representatives,
appearing at cycle intervals In this
country-Jefferson, jackson, Lincoln
and Bryan. These men were de.
tenders of the rights of the people.
They were called to leadership al
critical periods of our political his
tory. We are now at a critical per
iod. The crisis has brought forth
the man to lead and win.
Mr.. Bryan is the embodiment of
the principles for which organized
labor is battling. Our platform
might we'll be simply Bryan This
is Labor's golden opportunity, to be
embraced with zeal and utilized as the
chance of a lifetime. And thank
God that, although capital is banded
together as never before, there is {
steadily growing unity of purpose
among the workers that will, by elec
ton day, sweep aside this evil power
and give an enduring triumph to the
new and true Democracy.
The idea that any considerable
number of workingmen will vote fol
Mckinley, especially since this far
reaching speech, is preposterous.
JOHN N. BOGART,
Organizer New York State Branch
of the American Federation of
Labor.

IN a speech delivered at Kansas
City Mr.. BRYAN said:

In a speech delivered at Kansas
City Mr.. Bryan said:
Some of our opponents tell ~ that
the thing to do is to open mills in
stead of mints. That reminds me OF
the man who said his horse would go
all right if he could just get the
wagon started. Laughter and ap-
plause. 1t is putting the cart before
the horse.
What use is there for mills unless
people can buy what mills produce,
and how can you start them as long
as those who produce the wealth of
this country, particularly the farm
ers. are not able to get enough out
of what they raise to pay their taxes
and interest. Applause
There is no more effective way of
destroying the markets for what the
mills produce than to lower prices
upon the products the farmer has
raised 80 that they will not bring him
enough to pay him for raising them.
There was report once filed by
Mr.. Mckinley in 1890, along with the
Mckinley bill, and that report de-
clared there was great industrial de-
preston and that while there was de-
preston in agriculture, there could
be no prosperity anywhere.
1t was true then and it is true to-
day that while there is depression in
agricultural products there can be nc
prosperity anywhere. You must com
mence at the bottom and work uI
through other classes.

Wool and Silver.

In 1872, before the demonstration
of silver, wool was 70 cents pound.
The next year silver was taken from
the money volume in this country, in
compliance with conspiracy hatch
ed in London, the worlds greatest
market for wool. From that date
wool began to decline in price, as
every farmer of intelligence knows.
High tariff did not stop the contin-
ued shrinkage. The Mckinley bill
even, with all it's loud profession of
protection, did not protect. 1t did
not even check the steady decline.
Every year the staple was a few cents
lower in price. 1t was the invariable
rule, and wool prices will still con
tinute to decline unless silver is re-
monetized. Newark AdUOcate.
