NO TRUTH IN THEM.
So Declares Sullivan In Referring to
Bryan's Last Statement.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-National Commit
teeman Sullivan, when interviewed in
regard to Mr.. Bryan's latest utterance
declared there was no truth in them
Mr.. Bryan got all his information
from Mr. Dunlap, and is doing what
Mr.. Dunlap wants him to do. All the
information he has about the Illinois
situation he has received from Dunlap
and Thompson. He is fighting their
battles-battles that they cannot fight
for themselves. His statement is not
true as to the control of the state
convention two years ago as to the
notional committee, nor as to the com
mittee on credentials Mr.. Bryan is
not bigger than the >ntire Democratic
party
Mr. Sullivan referred to letter
which he said Mr., Bryan had written
to Congressman Caldwell of the
Springfield district. in which letter, he
said, Mr. Bryan admitted that he had
received all his information from Dun
lap That letter, said Mr.. Sullivan.
was proof of his assertions
Owing to the absence of Mr.. Hopkins
in Europe no statement could be Sc
cured C him.

REPAIRING BRAIN.
A Certain Way BY Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business nun Is
forced under pressure of modern con-
dltions to the active and sometimes
over-active use Of the brain.
Analysis OF the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from itssheavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, If we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter In
the brain can be built. 1T will not an

potash of the drug shop, for nature re-
iects it. The elemental mineral mus

New Glass Making Methods.

A departure In glass making meth
DDS threatens almost a revolution in
the industry, according to Consul Book,
of Nuremberg.
Should it really possess the advan-
tages claimed it would cause serious
damage to the blowing glass plate in
dustry in this district, where three
fourths'' glass plates are chiefly manu-
featured. So far two methods have
been employed in the manufacture of
crystal plate glass and mirror and win
dow glass, namely, that Of casting and
blowing. The new third method is the
invention of Mr.. Fourcault, a Belgian,
who has sold his patent to European
syndicate of plate glass manufacturers
for $685., 600. This syndicate consists Of
German, French and Belgian manufac-
turers and one Bohemian factory.
Until now in the making of window
glass the molten substance has been

pipes and subsequently flattened, while
in the making of plate glass the visoid
mass was cast from the pots and
rolled. The new invention draws the
molten substance from the pot and
conducts it between rollers lying side
by side. Seventeen pairs of these
rollers are built up towerlike above the

In order to avoid detention of trains

The White RANT OF the Wulte AAuuSes
The White House at Washington,
which has been the Kings Palace"
Of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison in
1909, has recently undergone thor
ough course Of remodelling, renovation
and repair. Every American citizen Is
owner Of an undivided eighty or
eighty-fve millionth part Of the White
House, as well as of the ether Public
Buildings and Monuments in the Cap
itol City. An item in the renovation
Of The remodeled White House was
repainting. Every visitor In Washing
ton knows Why the White House is 80
called-because ! is literally white
house." The exterior paint must there
fore be white. Now while the pure
white surfaces and simple lines Of the
White House, set in the midst OF green
lawns and beautiful trees, produce
a very satisfying effect of dignifed
simplicity, white paint from practical
point Of view, Is about the most I'M
satisfactory Lind of paint that could
have been selected by the original de-
sgners. First, because any white
paint is easily discolored by smoke and
dust, and second, hecause ordinary
white paint itself gradually turns gray
or brownish yellow from exposure.
But white The White House Is, and
white it must remain or 1t would no
longer be the white House." So the
renovators, making the best OF dis
couraging situation, sought for tie best
kind of white paint procurable. The
average citizen il asked 10 guess what
kind of paint they finally decided on
would probably white lead
and OIL" but he would guess wrongly.
The paint Lelected as the best obtain
able, vas ready-mixed part, such as
can be bought in any weIl-furnished
village store. such as is used by more
than half of the eighty or eighty-five
million owners CT the White House on
their own homes. That one brand OF
mixed paint was used instead of an
other Is a mere accidental detail
there are fifty or hundred brands on
the market .nat might have Deen Sc
lected in other circumstances, and, in
fact, a different brand was ssed in
painting the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore.
who PAINTS his house with a high
grade .eady-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

A large amount of so-called naughti-
ness among children may be accounted
for upon grounds which quite exclude
the desirability Of punishment for its
correction, says a writer in the Lon
don Lancet. 1t may be due to the
fact that the child has had insult
ficient sleep or is overtired after a
long days excitement.
Children may be restless or FESTIVE as
the direct result Of being underlined;
they may have been confined at home
for the whole day owing to the in
clemency Of the weather. and as a
consequence the only apparent outlet
for their restrained physical energy is
found by annoying those who have
charge Of them.
There are also some cases In which
an incipient physical or mental disor-
der may manifest itself by SYMPTOMS
which very strongly resemble willful
perversity unless the possibility of the
onset Of an illness is borne in mind.
It is notorious that ill-timed punish.
ment in these cases at times has pre-
cipitated severe attack. Suffering
and shyness are also likely to be ag-
gravated by being noticed A deaf
child is often inattentive and has been
occasionally classed among the mental.
ly defective.
1t has been said that many children
are punished for the faults of their
teachers; this is undoubtedly true when
zach faults exhibit themselves as a
continually close atmosphere in the
schoolroom or a prolonged strained and
cramped attitude of the pupils body
while he is seated at work. Frequent
periods Of exercise in the open air are
essential In order to arouse the cir
culation and to stimulate the mind,
