ELASTIC GOVERNMENT NEEDED

Fnanciers constantly talking about elastic currency

need Of the people elastic government that will respond to
changing conditions Such government be secured by the
initiative and referendum and by that alone
Those WING love the constitution when sanctions their special
privileges and who hate when stands the way of their peda
tory plans, oppose the initiative and referendum radical
form that would require constitutional amendment to place it in
effect To them the constitution is sacred because does

elastic government does not elastic constitution The
stuon should be rigid but Interchangeable Within the
of the constitutions however, the government should be elastic 1t
should respond readily to the wishes of the people.
Some fear the unrestricted rule of the people, just
trainers Of the constitution entertained similar fear But these
md folk should remember that government remain part

Treatment of Floors for Rugs.


The hygienic advantages of floors
covered with removable rugs instead
of dust-collecting carpets are so well
known and realized that the tendency
now is to have bare floors and rugs
for the sake of comfort and convent
ence as well as to follow the trend of
fashion. Good hard wood floors are
blessings that certainly are anything
but disguised, for they always look
well, form pleasing contrast to any
kind of rugs and above all they are
easy to keep clean. In case, however,
one has an old floor of soft wood that
is hard to treat satisfactorily and the
laying of hard wood floor is not pos
sible or practical, floor of hard pine
put down on top of the old floor may
be made to look almost as well as one
of expensive hard wood. For this pine
floor a stain, one of those especially
prepared, should be used, light or
medium color being preferable to a
dark one, and it should be remem-
bered that several thin coats will wear
much better than one thick one. After
the stain is put on the floor may be
oiled or vanished with good results.

THE TEACHERS FOE
A LIFE ALWAYS THREATENED BY
NERVOUS PROSTRATION.

One Who Broke Down from Six Years of
Overwork Tells How She Escaped
Misery of Enforced Idleness.
"I had been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years." said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention sThey
were greatly overcrowded. especially in
the primary department of which had
charge. and had been doing the work
of two teachers. The strain was too
much for my nerves and two years ago
the crisis came.
sically, sent in my resignation and never
expected to be able to resume work. 1t
seemed to me then that 1 was the most
miserable woman on earth. was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to sleep, and had SO little
blood that was as white as chalk
''After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings of years
for medicines which did me no good. -
GLOW did you get back your health ?''
ga bare chance and lot of faith led
me to cure. After had suffered for
many months, and when was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were SO convincing that some
how felt assured that these pills would
help NE. Most people, I think, buy only
one box for a trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, I was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite. gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. I have already taught for several
months, and I cannot say enough in
praise of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Miss Margaret M. James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many of her fellow teachers have also
used DIR. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are sold in every drug store in the
world.

Tea Table FURNISHINGS.

A new idea in household furnishings
is tea table on which is spread a
cloth having a white background with
a graceful design in blue. AS a set
ting for blue and white china or for
use in a room done in Dresden colors
this is very effective and a pleasing
variation from the regulation tea
table, with its fancy cover embroider-
ed in white, or with plain white
squares of damask. For summertime
use, however, these blue and white
covers will be found very satisfactory
They are made of light weight ma
teria1, something like japanese crepe,
are inexpensive and harmonic very
well with the light, airy summer dra-
peries. With a teaset of old blue china
one of these covers is a pleasing ac-
compartment, but even without family
heirlooms it makes an agreeable sub
stitute for the everlasting white used
during the rest of the year.

Sowing Flower Seed.

Those who have flower seeds to
SOW would find the sowing of them
under glass satisfactory, should they
have the convenience for it. Many of
these seeds are very fine, and when
sewed outdoors, heavy rains and many
other things interfere with their ger
mination- When under glass it is
nearly always ones own fault if a
crop of seedlings is not raised. Small
boxes, of a depth of three inches, with
holes in the bottom, to let drain of
superfiuous water, are the best to use
The soil should be fine, made so by
sitting, if necessary, so that when
the seedlings need transplanting each
plant can be lifted out without great
disturbance of the others.

Scraping particles of food from fine

has been invented. 1t is satisfactory,
inexpensive and a practical addition
to the collection of minor utilities

Cereals of various kinds are inc1ud-

some time past jars and crooks have

and one point especially in its favor
is the arrangement whereby the desir-

Bows Destroy Property.

The old store building situated west
of the railroad track and httlc TO the
south of the Southern Pacific passenger
depot has lately fallen into sad state
of repair. Its unsightly condition has
been the cause Of much complaint on
the part Of property owners in that
district.
OF late, the building has come into q
worse condition that formerly. The
windows have been broken by gang
of small rufiians, who infest the neigh.
borhood and employ their idle moments
in Just such deeds Of malicious mis-
chief. These Same boys are the sons
of respectable parents whose business
it should be to see to IL that their
children find more profitable en-
ployment than the demolishing and de-
facing of property. Such actions can
not continue without harm coming TO
the participants, and something will
surely happen if tho boys do not cease
this needless and destructive amuse-
ment.

of her order at her home in Quebec.
Canada, at the age of 19 years. Her

upon themselves to observe this event
with proper ceremonies, and as a result
one of the most interesting programs
ever carried out in the city was put
through.
The celebration of mass in the
academy chapel opened the day. The
place was beautifully decorated. and
during the day most interesting exer-
cises were carried out.
The program of the afternoon in
cluded vocal and instrumental music
and an address by one of the pupils
and presented to Sister Mary Febro-
MIA. The first number was march
triumphal on the piano, rendered by
the Misses Josie Moorehead and Mar
garet Sutherland. Miss Marguerite
Schoettle read the address and Miss
Margaret Sutherland read "The Bride
