Party that Does Things.

That the American people are in for
a period Of marked changes is beyond
question. Apparently it is not yet be
yond question 10 which party the cause
Of progress shall be entrusted-to the
Republican or Democratic party. or to
some new group called into being to
execute a general demand. Political OBJ
servers assume that that matter is still
open, and their eyes are turned toward
the campaign Of 1908 for an answer
We think, however. that the political
history of the last few years has al
ready foreclosed the stewardship Of
these great policies Every milestone
in the path along which the people of
the country are moving resolutely on

Dry Farming Hope of West.

John L. Cowan, in the Century Maya
zine, describes fully new method of
cultivating arid lands of the West, which
is called dry farming" or scientific soil
culture" The idea is simply to adapt
farming to natural conditions by SO cult
waiting the soil as to store up and retain
the rain and SHOWS right in the ground
over which they fall. This is done by
applying diligently and without let up
two principles. First, the surface of the
land must be kept loose and finely pull
verified, which forms a soil mulch that
permits the rains and melting SHOWS to
percolate readily through to the compact
ed soil beneath, and at the same time
prevents the moisture stored in the
ground from rising to the surface by
capillary attraction to be absorbed by
the hot, dry air. The second principle
is to keep the subsoil finely pulverized and
firmly compacted, increasing its water
holding capacity and capillary attraction
and placing it in the very best physical
condition for the termination of seeds and
the growth of plant roots. There is q
newly invented machine used for the lat
ter process, called sub-soil packer, and
this follows close behind the plow, which
is put tQ. work Immediately after the crop
is harvested, and the narrowing, which
follows the packing, is repeated after ey-
cry rainfall, no matter how far from the
time of planting the next crop. 1t is
said that millions of acres in the Western
States, which are now utterly useless or
good only for grazing purposes, could, by
dry farming, be brought into a state Of
higher cultivation than is attained nv irri-
cation and with vastly less expense.

Rigid Near Inspection Rules.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
made public the regulations under the
new law governing the inspection of meat
products. They cover all slaughtering,
packing, canning, sailing or allied estab-
lishments whose products enter into in
terstate or foreign commerce, unless spe-
cifically exempted on the plea of being
retail butchers. All parts of the buildings
must be whitewashed or painted, or other
wise kept in clean and sanitary condition
All trucks, racks, tools and machinery
used in handling meat must be cleansed
each day. Employees must wear outer
clothing of material easily cleansed, and
all toilet rooms must be entirely separated
from matchmaking rooms. No person af-
fected with tuberculosis or who is unclean
or careless of person may be employed.
Weekly reports on sanitation are to be
made to the inspector by those in charge
of the various departments. but any en-
ploye who detects bad conditions may re-
port direct to the inspector. No meat
product may contain any substance which
lessons its wholesomeness, nor any chem
ical unless specified by law, or any pre-
sentative other than salt, sugar, wood
smoke, vinegar, pure spices or salt petre.
But meats for foreign trade may contain
such preservatives as do not conflict with
the laws of the country to which they are
shipped. All animals which, after inspec-
ton, are suspected of being diseased,
must be slaughtered apart from other ami
mails under supervision. All condemned
meats are to be placed in a tank in the
presence of an inspector, and at the same
time sufficient coloring matter is to be
added to prevent the tankage from being
used in edible products. All labels are to
be affixed under personal supervision of
a government employe,

platform represented in 1896, even as
of the country. Owing to the unprece-
dented production Of gold, the money
question is not and will not be dis
cussed in detail, as it was in the Chi
cago platform, but the underlying prin-
ciple of bimetalism, the quantitative
theory, has been amply indicated, and
is now generally recognized"
This talk about the Spirit of 1885,"
will cheek the rush of gold Democrats
over to Bryan's side. His devotion to
what he calls "the underlying princi-
pies Of bimetalism' shows that he has
recanted nothing. He stands Just
where he stood in 1896, except that he
, intimates that for the moment it will
not be expedient to make any open
declaration in favor Of throwing the
minis wide open to the coinage of sill
yer at tue 16-to-1 ratio. He takes back
nothing of what he said in favor of
the debased dollar ten years ago or
six years ago. He merely comedies that

miners have taken the money issue out
of politics for the time.
But tia rise in silver is likely to
give Bryan and his friends courage to
renew the battle for 16-to-1. Silver
has recently averaged 66 cents an
ounce. 1t has gone up 10 cents an
ounce in a few months. The Bland
coin is no longer a Accent dollar, at
the market price for silver. 1t is now
a 51-cent dollar. Silver to-day is about
where 1t was ten years ago, when
Bryan began his war in favor of
throwing open the minis at the 16-to-1
ratio without waiting for the aid or
consent OF any other nation. The
Bland-Bryan coin may be a 52-cent or
55-cent dollar by 1905 If the pres
ent rise is maintained to that time
there will be strong pressure on
Bryan's party to renew it's old warfare
In favor of silver free coinage In
principle Bryan is, as he shows In
his paper, a free silverite Despite
his lodging, his nomination in 1908,
II 1t takes place, will put the silver
issue at the front, and make the third
battle more disastrous for Bryan and
his dupes than Wa the second battle

strengthening the Back.

A God exercise to strengthen the
back and remove excessive flesh from
the hips can be taken in ones own bed
room. 1t consists simply in picking ur
a small stool or chair and raising it
high over the head, and then bending
over, placing it on the floor, Repeat
this movement. raising the stool high
above the head, and putting it back on
the floor until tired. 1t is a good idea
also to take a deep breath when you
raise the arms above the head and ex
pei when you put the stool to the floor
This is a vigorous exercise, and if kept
up will not only strengthen the muscles
of the back, but drive away the super
fluous flesh from the hips.-MedicaI

Love and Bad Cooking.

Good housekeeping has far more to
do with domestic happiness than most
young people dream, and it is a melan-
choly ut that love is often killed by
bad cooking.
Without good housekeeping even the
most romantic devotion will often dwin-
die and die, and therefore it behooves
al maidens to make study of house
wifery before they take upon them
selves the duties pertaining to the mis-
tress of household.
Nowadays, more than ever, perhaps
women need to remember that their
best and most beautiful work is to be
done in their own homes. Of course,
the man who marries a woman merely
because he wants a lady to sit at the
head of his table and TO look after his
house does not deserve to be happy.
But it is not of such a case as this
that this article deals, but rather the
case of the married lovers, who, per
haps-by slow degrees, maybe, but mons
the less surely-become alienated by
the irritation and friction caused BY

Table Manners.

Parents even in n humble cottage
home should pay attention to the CON
duct and manners of their children at
meal times. They cannot tell what pO-
sition they will fill in after life, and Il
man or woman who is ignorant of the
most simple laws of table etiquette is
terribly handicapped Were the parents
to reproye the child who conveys its
food to its mouth with knife, who
drinks its tea from the saucer, or who
sticks its elbows out at right angles, the
lesson so taught would never be for
gotten. There is a certain amount of
freedom at the family table, where one
scarcely expects to find the ceremonious
department of n set dinner party; but
even in the home there are minor rules
and observances which should always
be followed. The boy or girl on whose
mind they are impressed at an early
age will never lose them; and when,
after years of struggles it may be- the
manners that make the man" will be
their chief passport into the circle of
their new acquaintances.

The creed Of pessimism and despair is,

that. doubtless. is better than to revolt

her position. recognize the aLy .ntages

and pride of her sex.
We often meet young ladies who
would like to be boys. In speaking
among themselves of certain others of
their set they say: There is a girl
who ought to have been a boy; she is q
boy lost" - There is no harm in this
inasmuch rs it is no more than n joke
and n fashion Of speaking. 1t amounts
to saying that certain young girls have
aptitudes which ordinarily are charac
teristic of young boys. But these have
never prevented a woman from being
truly and gracefully womanly.
What we wish to indicate and stig-

we already possess; a refusal to put ii

The Marriage Knot.

A good deal is heard of the marriage

the knot was ever anything more than

marriage ceremony, says Home Chat.
The priest took a thread from the gar

that of the bridegroom and tied them
into a knot, which he gave to the bride,
thus symholizing the binding nature of
the union which now existed between
herself and her husband.
