MILLERS FIGHTING HIM
Determined Effort to BE Made Against
Henderson

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July 20.-There
are indications that the exporting
millers of the United States have de-
clared war on Speaker David b. Hen
derson and that they mean to make a
persistent fight on him in the Third
Iowa district during the progress of
the present congressional campaign.
The reason for the enmity of this
powerful commercial interest is found
iR the fact that the millers ard their
trade papers hold Mr.. Henderson per-
sonally responsible for the failure of
piece of legislation known as an
amendment to the Harter act, which
passed the senate and which was held
up in the house. While Speaker Hen
derson has made profession of per
sonal interest in the bill, his assert.
ions are not believed by the millers,
who charge that he refused to allow
the amendment to be brought to a
vote.

A lace coat with fichu decollette is a
delightful accompaniment for a skirt
of chiffon or crepe.
Large plume trimmed hats are seen
among the finer toppings, the shapes
suggesting the old Gainsboroughs
without being as large.
The plated skirt, with side plaits or
shallow box plaits, is evidently first
favorite, and all indica tions point to it
as the popular autumn and winter
model, says the Detroit Free Press.
Short coats of fur will be much worn

Whole hats of velet peoples, dahlias
and other flowers in warm rich colors
are displayed, and the beautiful velvet
autumn leaves make attractive toques.
Fur trimmed gowns are slowly put
ting in an appearance, and some of the
velvet and fur combinations are strik-
in,gly rich. On the light cloths, too,
fur will be favored trimming, usually
combined with embroidery.

STUCK TO HIS EYEGLASS.
The English Diplomat Wore 1t, Even
when He Was Capsized in
the Sea.

Recently party from the embassies
at Constantinople went to inspect the
international lifebOat service on the
Black sea coast. AT one of the life
saving stations they thought they
would like to test the conditions of
lifeboat work, so, clothing themselves
in bathing costumes and cork jackets,
they each took an oar in a lifeboat, to
the huge delight of the Turkish boat
men.
One of the secretaries of the British
embassy is never seen without an eye
glass, and is said even to sleep with it.
On this occasion he was faithful to his
eyeglass and solemnly embarked in a
cork jacket and eyeglass. All the prop
er exercises were gone through, and
finally the boat was capsized and
righted again by its own crew. As they
crept out from under the capsized boat
a howl of surprise came from the
Turks, for the secretary's head APP
peared, with the eyeglass firmly fixed
in its proper position, its owner TAX
ing it as a matter of course that it
should be there.

MONEY GREW ON BUSHES.
Railway Section Gang in Nebraska
Comes Upon n Singular Find
by the Roadside.

The fairy tale of money growing
on bushes was lately realized along
the right of way of the Burlington
railroad between Hyannis and ALI
ance, says a Lincoln (Neb.) report.
A gang of section men were at
work, when one of them noticed
something that looked like a bill wav-
ing from the tangled top of sun
flower growing by the roadside. He
Investigated. 1t was a treasury note
for SO
He walked a few steps farther and
there, EOdding from a branch of bit
of dog fennel, was another bill of sim
liar denomination.
He called to his companions, and
the entire gang threw down their
tools and started on a money hunt.
For three hours they searched up and
down the right of way and far afeli.
At almost every yard their trou-
bic was rewarded by finding either
a five CT a ten-dollar bill. Some bills
were tangled in the tops of weeds,
others half hidden in bushes along
the fence, and still others in the
stubble of the field.
The entire days cleanup of the
eight was $2,135. When the find was
reported, word came from headquar-
ters that a money pouch containing
$500 had been lost from an express
shipment the day before.
The supposition is that the bag fell
out of the open car door and was
ground to pieces under the wheels,
and the contents were scattered to
the winds. This hypothesis is sup
ported by the later discovery of por-
tons of the damaged pouch.

ABOUT collie.
The Various Forms of This Disease,
Their Causes and How They
May BE Cured

Collie is a name applied in a general
way to a sudden and severe pain in the
abdomen. Physicians recognize many
kinds of collie, each calling for its own
separate treatment, which must vary
with the underlying cause, says the
Youths Companion. Lead collie, for
instance, sometimes called painters
collie" because painters are the class
most exposed to it. is a type by itself,
and may generally be recognized by
the presence at the same time of pc
culiar blue line around the gums. This
kind is best treated, or at least its re-
currence is prevented by a change of
occupation. \ more usual form is that
brought on by the eating of indigesti-
BILE food and by the presence in the in
testines of acid matter. 1t is often ac-
companied by intense bilious symp-
toms, which persist until the system is
relieved of the offending substances.
The form of collie most to be feared
is that called cholera morbus. This is
most apt to appear in hot weather, and
although painful, is seldom fatal. ex-
cept to the very young and the very old.
1t may be induced in many ways-by
eating unripe fruit or raw vegetables,
drinking impure water. living where
there are masses of decaying garbage,
or where there is overcrowding in hot
weather. 1t will be seen from this list
of causes why it is so common among
the children of the very poor of our
crowded cities during the hot season.
1t is to this disease that one may trace
the awful death-rate among tenement
children in July ard August. Happily,
much is done each summer to educate
and help the mothers of these unfortu-
nate little ones, but the ravages
wrought by the disease in the ranks of
the very poor are still terrific.
The rules for the prevention of this
complaint are simple, as are also the
methods of treatment. There must be
first and always a strict attention to
cleanliness, especially as the weather
grows hot. Neglected garbage is as
much poison as prussic acid, and an
improperly washed nursing-bottle as
deadly a weapon as loaded pistol.
When these and kindred truths are
recognized as truths by the whole COM
munity, rich and poor alike, the sum-
mer death-rate will Immediately show
improvement.
People who are subject to this trou-
BILE would do well to wear constantly
flannel bandage over the abdomen, for
the least chill while digestion is in pro-
gress may provoke an attack. During
the attack much relief may be had by
hot applications. drink of hot water
with little ginger added and very
hot foot bath. Above all, the treat
ment must tend to the immediate re-
moval from the system of offending
substances.

AMERICAN HUMOR.

The display within the crater was I'M

After several moments of silence
two Englishmen exclaimed in one

for the Housewife

Is there a greater "bugbear" to the
average housewife than washing day?
Yet, with a building set apart for a
laundry, where the whole washing ap-
paratus can be kept, three-quarters of
the trials and yeXat tons of washday are
disposed of. From the kitchen, where
so many people do their washing, the
hot, soapy steam will penetrate to ev-
cry room in the house, and the havoc
1t works upon the wall paper, furni-
ture, curtains and vanished wood
work, are well known; besides this, the
kitchen floor is so soiled and wet that,
no matter how tired the poor worker
may be after doing the heavy washing,
it is necessary for her to scrub the
dirty floor and put the room in order,
writes Nettie Milholland, in House
keeper.
All this can be avoided when the
washing is done where it belongs-in

THE CONSIDERABLE CUSTOMER.
He Arose to the Occasion and Gave
the IncOnsiderate Groceryman
Il Hard One.

The customer would have paid the
grocer's bill promptly, but didn't have
the money by him just at that mo-
ment. and how could he? A good many
of us know just how it is under those
circumstances. OF course. if we all
kept grocery stores it would be differ
ent, but we don't, says the New York
Herald.
The grocer in a very unfeeling man.
ner was telling the unfortunately i'm
pecuniouS customer what he thought
of people who bought things and did
not have the money to pay for them.
and the customer was thinking of
something to say back at him.
81 don't think" he said feebly, chat
you have any right to talk to me that
way. 1t is positively cruel"
well" retorted the grocer, "you
ought to be talked to in that way. II
is my style. Some people are so ten
der hearted that they wouldn't hurt
a fly, but I'm not"
This reference to a fly suggested to
the customer that he, too, had griev-
ance, and it gave him a tip also as to
saying something sarcastic.
Yes" he responded, with quite a
sniffy air, land some Of the fly paper
we buy in the same grocery stores is
just as considerable"
This brilliant retort so strengthened
the customer that he was able to walk
right out of the store, leaving the gro.
Ger to ''chew the rag" at his leisure.
