One great secret of youth and beauty for st1e young woman or the mother IS tie proper understanding of her wouanly syS tenn ansl we'll being.

It is quite remarkable how the democrats are scaling down all the supposed -to-be issues be- tween them and the republicans. Thus far the campaign has been conducted on negative lines with the single exception Of t h e general assault upon President Roosevelt, and that has mar rowed itself down to his policy in the conduct of affairs. Sen ater Bailey recently aid in Brooklyn, N. Y. "The dullest man knows perfectly well that free trade is an absolute impos- sibility in this republic" Judge Parker agrees with the republi cans on the question of Philip pine self-government-''w w h e Il they are competent for it." No body thinks of re-opening the Panama canal question. The labor question will have to work out it's own solution. And the democrats have nothing better to propose regarding the trusts than the republicans. The only question remaining is--is Roose- welt a good man?

Official reports from Canada show that this country's rela tions with that highly loyal pro- vince are in. a very satisfactory state, even without reciprocity, For the year ending June 30, 1901, as coapared with 1903, 5llere has been a decline in Ca aadian exports Of over Sl2y0OO, : eQ0 and an- increase Of over &I7, : 901, eco in imports. The in- ports are mostly from bhe Unit ed States, while the decline in exports is owing to. falling of, in. sales in England.
