Man has been proven by M. Vaschide
to be more sensitive than woman to
a salt taste, and in less degree to a
bitter taste, while the two sexes are
about equally sensitive to acid and
sweet tastes. With a better developed
.olfactory sense, however, woman is
better able to distinguish f1ayors.

he does not leave behind him the cares
OF office nor does he lay aside con-
sideration Of the great questions that
demand his attention. In one way he
gets relief at Oyster Bay, and that is
the restriction there naturally is upon
the number of his daily callers. The
executive Offices are located in the
village Of Oyster Bay, some two or
three miles away from the presidents
" home. In those Offices Secretary
Loeb conducts the routine business,
and occasionally the president calls
and looks owe some papers, but most
OF the business is carried by the Sec
rotary to Sycamore Hill, where the
president can attend to it %untroubled
by persistent visitors.
This will be a very busy season with
Mr.. Roosevelt, and he will have many
questions to determine before congress
meets. At his country home he will
take up the study of the tariff and
reach a decision as to whether he will
recommend that congress undertake a
remodeling of the schedules. In the
comfortable quarters Of his summer
residence he will meet such men as
Senator Aldrich, Senator Burrows, Sen
ator Allison, Congressman Payne, and
others who are admittedly experts on
this question, and will confer with
them upon the tariff. Between his
holiday diversions the president will
give attention to the railway rate ques-
ton. 1t is not unlikely that from the
humble village OF Oyster Bay will also
issue orders and decisions that will
have an important bearing upon inter-
national affairs.
With all the time he will devote to
public matters, however, the president
will still be able to enjoy a vacation
and the outdoor pastimes of which he
is so fond. His home at Sycamore
Hill offers full facilities for such in
dulgences.

about two per cent. Of the volume OF

The census reports compiled by the
government In 1900, before the agita-

the packing industry is conducted on
. smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The

AWFUL HUMOR
Would Scab Over, Break Open, and

Two Years Doctors and Medi-

CURED BY CUTlCURA
AT COST OF IS CENTS

Writing under date Of Aug. IS, 1904,
Mrs. L. c. Walker, of S fremont St.,
Woodfords, Me-, says: "My sister
had terrible humor on her shoulder
when she was eighteen months old,
causing intense suffering for two years.
We had several doctors, and tried
everything, but in spite of all we
did it kept spreading. One day it
would scab over and then crack open
and watery matter ooze from it and
the scabs would all fall off. 1t would
be raw for a time, then scab over
again. Some one recommended Cuti-
cura, and we Immediately procured
abox of Cuticura Ointment, and cake
of Cuticura Soap. Shewas much bet
ter after the first bath with warm water
and soap, and an application of the
Ointment. Before it was half gone we
saw marked change for the better,
and she was entirely cured, without
scar being left, by the one box of Clint
ment and one cake of Soap. Her skin
is now entirely clear, and she has
not had sign of trouble since"

So far as heard from, the returns in
dictate that the proposition for Aroos-
took county to purchase wild lands to
be resold to actual settlers, was defeat
ed by a large majority. The vote ap-
pears to have been extremely light, but
of the vote cast the margin against the
proposition was large. In some local
tiles, indeed, the vote in the negative
was almost unanimous, as, for example,
in the town of Island Falls.-Presque
Isle Star Herald.
Our contemporary says that 1.-The
proposition thus summary dumped by
the citizens of Aroostooh into the mu-
nicipal waste basket was one of the
most important that has been brought
to their consideration, and that both the
measure and author, Hon. Albert A.
Burleigh. deserved more considerate
treatment" Every one knows that it is
due mainly to Mr.. Burleigh's efforts
that Aroostook secured her long deslr-
ed direct line railway, and none who
know him can doubt his disinterested-
ness in bringing forward this later plan
for developing the resources and pro
noting the prosperity of the Garden OF

The President and Other Distinguished
Visitors Present. The HonOrs Won ny
Roy Hack, Son of a Former Belfast Pas
tor.
10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: IL
was my interesting good fortune yesterday
to be at the Williams College Commence
ment. Mrs. Mills accompanied me, ana
through the courtesy OF the authorities we
had tickets of admission both to the church
and the banquet hall. 1t was memorable
day Tor Williams, with President Roosevelt
present to receive a degree and to make
speech, and with Joseph Choate, EX- AM
oassador to England, and Elihu Root, the
great Secretary of War, just retired, as the
other lions to roar, the demonstrations OF
enthusiasm were thrilling, and it takes col
lege boys, you know, whether sold grads
OF more recent ones, to pitch things hlgh
ana fine. But what l wished particularly
TO tell you, which | am sure will be OF inter
est to Belfast people, was the distinction
given the son of a former pastor OF the
North church, Roy Hack. He was one OF
three speakers chosen to represent the
graduating class on that more than COM
monty distinguished Commencement stage.
HIS reference to practical idealism in poll
tics furnished the text and theme of the
RESIDENTS address, who said he was espec-
Tally interested in that young mans talk, as
it was in his slime of business And at the
banquet Mr.. Choate referred to this same
young man as one of the heroes OF the day,
who had been distinguished in college and
who, he predicted, would win distinction
across the water. Mr.. Hack is to be
Rhodes scholar at Oxford. If | am not mis-
taken in my count, his name was read at
least four times as prize-winner this year.
In addition to personal interest in the sue
cess of this former Belfast boy, the circum-
stance is worthy of mention as being one
more brilliant and sweeping denial of that
Wretched lie that ministers sons are apt to
turn out badly.
With best regards,
Yours most sincerely,
