Dressv Erock of SimpIe DESIGN,

Dresses worn by children to after
noon parties for outdoor play are
plain, just of white linen untrimmed
with the short full skirt; the sort Of
frocks that can be cheerfully consign-
ed to the washtub after one afternoon
of real fun" And many sainted
mothers let their children go to out
door afternoon plays" in plain gala
tea or Bingham frocks. For how can
child be merry with a fear of spot
shadowing the horizon, and where
withal shall she be comforted if there
is grass stain on her ribbons and laces
early in the games?

Judge Baensch has largely increased
his following in Racine, city and county,
and as the excellence of his character
grows on the people, his strength in
creases. The judge is for peace, for
calmness and for the equities. He
will, if nominated and elected, be
governor not legislature and dictator
in one. He will advise and counsel,
not order and threaten. With him
peace will reign.-Racine Journal.

People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is SO often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use Of SCOTS Emulsion
at once has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-

Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-

announced that one OF the issue to be
discussed by them on the stump during
the coming campaign will be the Re-
publican policy OF high protective
tariff. 1t is evident, as was proclaimed
at the beginning of this session of con-
gress, that the present tariff will not be
es for new arrangement of it's sched-
ules is a fact to be determined largely
by the result of the pending Presiden-
tial election. There may be modifica-
ton; and quite likely reciprocity, at
least with Canada, will be arranged
but it is extremely unlikely that the
voters will intrust this delicate and i'm
portant task to the Democratic party.
The slight taste Of free trade which the
people got under the Wilson bill, in the
days of Cleveland, has left an exceed
ingly bitter taste in the mouth, The
next congress will have the whole mat
ter before it for readjustment. The
energy and ability of the American
people have been so great ard wonder
full during the era of pr, sperity that the
products of all kinds, agricultural and
mechanical have outgrown the home de-
mand, and If the prevalent production is
to continue, commerce with other ma
tiols must be had. To this end deter
mined effort will be made to enforce the
'open door policy inauguarated by the
present administration. But there will
be great competition with other ma
lions to be overcome. and If America de-
mands free trade, she must expect plans
of the government in connection with
the canal, the army and navy, pensions,
etc., are to be cOnsummating can hard
