BROKEN BRIC-A-BRAS

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.:
and other manufacturers do not use them, be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Majo tells US that one OF
the elements of his cement costs So. Is pound,
and another So IS gallon, while large share
OF the so-called cements and liquid glue upon
the nj rket is nothing more than 16-cent glue.
dissolved in water citric acid and, in some
cases. altered slightly in color and odor by the
addition Of cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 20
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell a
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma
jor's advertising, which now amounts to over
S., 900 month, throughout the country. Es-
tablished in 1916.

off-hand advice from druggist.

INSANITY IN ARMY CAMPS.
A Medical Authority Says That Not
Infrequently Military Command
ers Are Mentally balanced.

Mental disease in military life may
be more common and more productive
Of evil than we think. If an insane
commander is given such a position
that all subordinates cannot possibly
criticise or make their suspicious
known for fear of the swift punish
ment that follows lack of discipline
insidious and awful errors and wrongs
may result and may continue a long
time before superior and far-away
officers suspect the true condition.
1t is said that during a recent war
balloon was sent up which, instead
of defining the enemy's position, re-
vealed that of the general ordering
the balloon, and Of his troops, to 100
gunners who only awaited the indi-
cation to play havoc with their shells,
says the Philadelphia Medical Jour.
nal.
The commander, it is further said,
is now known to have been insane, his
father, mother and sisters having died
insane. Suppose that chronic menin-
gifts should exist in general intrust-
ed with the conduct of campaign far
from the seat of the central govern
ment, and that he should have delu-
sions of grandeur, with other symp-
toms of profound but not easily rec
ognized morbid mental action. In
calcu1able mischief would ensue be
fore he would be suspected and be-
fore he could be recalled The appli-
cation of psychiatry to military life
is suggestion of possible tremendous
significance in view of the wars exist
ing in all parts of the world many
thousands of miles away from the
capitals of civilization.

WANTED ROYAL VISITORS,
Paris DfsappOin ted That More of
Them Did Not Attend the
Exposition.

Disguise it as you may, republican
France has been bitterly disappointed
at the absence of the prin cipal crowned
heads of Europe from the exposition,
but most of all at that of the Russian
sovereign. France considered-andn not
justly-that so much was due to her
from the son of father whose mem
DRY is perpetuated in Paris by one of
the most striking and beautiful monu-
ments ever devised by an art-loying ma
tion. France will not admit that the
absence of crowned visitors of the first
rank and their heirs was due to her
own folly. She who is always preach
ing the solidarity of republicans all
over the world will not admit that
there may be such solidarity among
monarchs- And, even if she did admit
it, she would fail to see the reason why
Nicholas III. should not have made an
exception in her favor. She thinks,
though she does not say it, that her
quondam ally owed her this, says the
London Illustrated News.
There was no proof that Oscar of
Sweden and Norway, Leopold of Bel
GUM, and George of Greece are not
as solicious of the prestige Of their
fellow sovereigns as the rest, But all
three felt that they owed something
to France and they were determined
to acknowledge the obligation in that
way. Oscar is of purely French de-
scent; Leopo1d's father Indirectly
owed his crown to France, who fought
the battles of Belgium against the
Dutch, without which battles there
would have been no Leopold I. George
had to thank Napoleon III. for being
where he is. These three sovereigns
have shown their gratitude, and
France, who can be very generous, will
not forget this.

In the reapportionment Of this state
the Injustice which was done in Jeffer-
son county should be remedied. At
present the county is split in two with
the apparent object OF wiping out a
Democratic senatorial district Before
the last apportionment Jefferson county
and a small portion of Waukesha
county constituted a senatorial district.
WATERFOWL Daily Times.
Does The Times mean to infer that
if the former senatorial district existed,
there would at present be another
Democratic state senator? If our
neighbcr INDUCES such a thought, it
probably has not looked up the figures.
When General Solliday was elected to
the state senate as Democrat in 1894
,tthe Twenty-third district then com
prising. e ferson county ard the western
half of Waukesha county, he had only
,375 votes to spare That was in the days
when old Jefferson rolled up big Demo-
cratic maJerities-Or at least con-
,siderably large- than it at present is
won't to do. But times have changed
and the only way to squeeze in a
Democratic senator to represent this
Democratic Gibraltar is to constitute a
senatorial district out of Jefferson
county alone or to tack on portion of
Dodge. But Jefferson alone is not
nearly large enough and slice taken
from any other contiguous county save
Dodge would provide a sufficient Re-
publican plurality to wipe out any
thing the Democrats of Jefferson
might bring forward Dodge will I'M
doubtedly continue senatorial district
10y itself, as it has the necessary popu-
lation, SO there you are with Jefferson
county still represented in the senate
by good Republican. On sober
second thought. how foolish all this
barping on Republican 'gerrymander-
ing must appear! With over 100, 900
votes against them in the state, how
can our Democratic friends expect to
elect over two or three senatOrsp

The Girl Who Smiles.
MA RY ~. GILLETTE.

MANN "a. 'il<l'I.l / II.
The wind was east, and the chimney
smoked
And the old brown house seemed
tlreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody jokcd,
The young folks grumblcd, the old folks
croaked,
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door and a girl came in;
Oh, she was horncly-very;
Her hose was pug and her check was thin,
There wasn't dimple from brow to chin,
But her smile was bright and chccry.
She spoke not word of the cold and
damp,
Nor yet Of the gloom about her,
But she mended the fire and lighted the
lamp,
And she put OIL the place different
stamp
From that it had had without her.
Her dress, which was something in sobe,
brown,
And with danpncss nearly dripping,
She changed for bright, warm, crimson
gown,
And she looked SO gay when she SO came
down
They forgot that the air was nippiny.
They forgot that the house was dull old
place,
And smoky from base 70 rafter
And gloom departed from every face,
AS they felt the charm of her mirthfuI
grace,
And the cheer of her happy laughter
Oh, give nc the girl who will smile and
sing
And make all glad together!
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But kind, unscllisll heart can bring
Good cheer III the darkest weather.
