Vice Presidential Candidate. Makes
"a Campaign speech.


Campaign speech.
White River Junction, Wis, Aug. 20.
The Republican candidate for Vice
President, Senator John w. Fairbanks
of Indiana, delivered his first formal
speech of the campaign here this aft
ernoon. He said in part:
Judged by any test we may apply,
the administration of President Roose-
welt has been eminently successful.
The last three years have been years
of exceptional prosperity. Industry
has fiourished and the farmer has
prospered in an unusual degree. Pros
perity has not been confined to limited
areas, but has extended throughout the
country. 1t has not been restricted TO
a few, but has been enjoyed by the
many. Domestic trade has expanded
to proportions never before attained
and our exports have reached the high
est figures in our history. In short
the past three years have been years
of commercial growth, OF domestic
peace and expanding power.
''As in 1892, the Democratic party
now denounces protection as rob-
berry Of the many to enrich the few
and pledges itself 10 overthrow the
Dingley law, through a revision and
reduction OF the tariff. What VIII be
the result Of such a policy2 We will
find most conclusive answer I'm the
four years Of the last Democratic ad-
ministration. Let the American peo-
pie take the Democratic platform and
the result OF the last Democratic ad-
ministration in one hand aud the Re
publican platform and the record OF
the Republican administration during
the last three years IN the other. and
pronounce their potential judgment" ="

These days so much liberty is given
one that it is more or less difficult TO
know just where to draw the manner

a breach of etiquette to put an elbow

Such is not the case nowadays, al
though, to be sure, it is not considered

and restaurants it fails to rouse the
faintest interest and no one gives it
even a passing thought. Unless, per-
haps, the attitude is very confidential,
and suggests an animated Irritation.
Just why people see the faults of
their neighbors so plainly and remain
in blissful ignorance of their own is
a mystery that has never been faith

charming girl, only she feels rather
sorry for her because she has some
peculiar mannerisms. For instance,
she slides down so far in her chair and

SINGEING OR CLIPPING HAIR

er smuggling or clipping the hair is the
better method for removing the faded

TO 1t should be done by an experienced
hairdresser, for, in the hands of an un-
skilled person, more harm than good
will result. Clipping, however, can be
done by any careful person with good
eyesight. The hair should be brushed
smoothly and divided into strands.
Hold strand firmly in the hand, and
if the ends are very much faded or
split, cut off one-half to one inch, ac-
cordirg to needs; then pick up the
shorter hairs and clip each end just
enough to remove the split portion.
Continue thus until all the hair has
been gone over. II neglected for some
time the hair is apt to dwindle greatly
at the ends and be quite thin and worn
for three or four inches Of it's length.
If this is the case it is a decided i'm
provement to cut off this portion Of the
hair and thus start more uniform
growth. The pernicious habit OF using
a hot curling iron is responsible for
