Next House Of Representatives Should
Be Safely Democratic, for q
Number of Reasons.

The fight for the control of the house
OF representatives of the Fifty-ninth
congress is we'll under way, and the
democrats have reason to believe the
selection Of Mr.. w. S. Cowherd as chair
man Of the congressional committee
was a wise one. Mr.. Cowherd is a man
of fine ability and has the proper tenn
permanent for the arduous duties which
he has undertaken. Moreover, he finds
the situation promising from every point
Of view.
In this respect, the prospects are quite
different from the almost helpless hight
of the party two years ago. Many things
have happened which will be or advan-
a to the democrats. In the first place,
under the leadership of John Sharp VIII
liams. the minority of the present con-
gress has made plenty OF campaign
capital for use in this campaign. Inc
republicans for the first time in many
years are on the defensive. Inc repuD-
lican record is such as to impress upon
the reople of the country the necessity
for a change at Washington. The postal
| scandals have disguised the Ill I'M
p~recedented extravaganza has alarmed
those who pay the taxes, the exacUohs
of the trusts have Impoverished the
consumers and the burdens OF the tarlh
have become ~unbearable.
Many northern people, says the
| Houston Post, have been afhliatlng with
the republican party in recent years wno
do not believe in the policies or ina
party. They had fears, groundless
though they were, that blmetalllsn
would result in business depression
Now that this one issue is no longer
pending. these former democrats and
Independents are ready to cooperate
with the democratic party once more
and their assistance will be powerful
enough to give us many districts wnlcf
have not been democratic before.
California, Michigan, Wisconsin, I'LL
nois. Indiana, Ohio, West virginia
Maryland, New York and New Jerse!
offer splendid opportunities for demo
cratic effort in the way OF w1nnln;
districts. These states are now rep
resented in the house by 105 republic
ans and 43 democrats, a republican ma
jority of 81. In the Fifty-third congress
the last controlled by the democrats
these same states were represented II
the house by II democrats and 53 repup
Iicans, a democratic majority OF IL.
This all goes to show what a splendl'
field we have to work in with a unlte'
Democratic party. And these ten state
do not by any means include all the re
publican districts which may be CARRIE
by the democrats this fall. The pros
poets are that we will not only win nue.
of old territory back, but get som
districts which have not been demo
cratic in many years, or which nav
never been democratic. tits the splen
did opportunity confronting the part
which should impel every democrat I
cease fighting over past disagreement
and make a united effort to carry Tn
election.

Fashion Tips

Ostrich feathers have been much
worn during the summer, but their
popularity in increasing and indications
point to the fact that they viii be
the fashionable feature for autumn and
winter millinery.
SO many pretty, old-fashioned trim
mings are used. quillings OF silk or
satin. shirring forming shells. covered
buttons on bands. or in the centre of
ruches. and lace ruffies, squares. saw
teeth. scallops, piped and laid over
lace or some other trimming.
Brown is prominent among the mixed
effects. too. blended browns. with
threads OF warm green, dun orange or
blue, being attractive in the tveeds and
homespun class. and there are some
silky browns with shadow dots in a
different weave that hold charming
possibilities.
One OF the very popular transpar-
encies is bobnette; which is. as its
name indicates. a net, fine and strong
the white ground being scattered with
coiored flowers. or well covered with
charming designs. These nets are made
up over thin silks.
A new little arrangement has been
nvented-probably by some busy
mother-to keep the baby from tumbl-
dnK or creeping out OF bed. II is a
Nort OF harness that slips around the
baby's body and ties to the bed. and
is made Of tape-light, cool. does not

Health and Beauty

Celery is good for nervousness, being

An oil red skin needs an astrlngent;

times a day with a little diluted alcohol
or witch hazel
Butter is excellent for a burn; II the

the skin will not blister.
Touch warts and corns with a tiny
brush or feather dipped in iodine and
they will gradually disappear.
Rose water eight ounces, and tine
ture Of benzoin, two drachms, makes
one Of the best skin tonics and whiten-
ers.
For a severe he9dache a towel wrung

relief
Stains on the fingers that will not
yield to ordinary methods can be re-
moved by dipping the fingers IN perox-

A healing ointment for all skin erup-
tions Is made by mixing thoroughly
one part Of bismuth to three parts OF

and no coloring in it The best is also

stature ana Illness.

According to a paper read by DR.
Shrubsall before the British associa
tlon, sufferers from tos,silitls, rheuma
tism and heart disease are Of a higher
stature, and sufferers from tuberculo
sis, nervous and malignant diseases OF
lower stature than healthy individ
uals.
It appears that blond sufferers from
pulmonary tuberculosis respond tC
treatment better than brunettes. while
in diseases OF the heart the positions
are reversed. 1t is believed that IL
successive generations of city life stat
ure shows a progressive diminution and
that there is an increase In brunette
traits with each generation passing
from rural TO urban life. With in
creasing length OF residence there i.
an increase OF morbidity among tbs
different classes of Londoners.

Insertion

For a silk or crepe blouse this inser-
tion is very pretty between clusters OF
tucks. II also makes a nice band trim
ming for voile or cloth dresses. If less
work is desired the bands can be used
without the fagot stitch through the
centre. but this adds greatly to the ef-
feet OF the trimming. Carried out in
braid il is excellent for wooden gowns.
For the decoration OF children's ap-
parel nothing is so dainty as hand
work. and mothers recognize this and
are on the lookout for new ideas. At
a glance one can see how simple this
is. and yet how much prettier than ma
chine work. For the trimming OF gar
ments Of French nainsook or sheer ma
terial use the folded bias bands. These

A Grave Breach OF Manners TO Take

The reason for this is found IN the
