Caucus Now in Session.

Washington, d. c., March 15.-The
crucial test of statehood is taking place
this afternoon. The house republicans
met in conference at 8 o'clock. and the
session is likely to last we'll on into
the evening. Most of the insurgents
attended, being assured that the con-
ference is not to be a caucus, and,
therefore, not binding in the matter of
voting. Speaker Cannon protests
against the senate's action, and does
not want to yield to that body. The
president himself is more pliable.
While he would like the house bill to
go through, he does not regard joint
statehood for New Mexico and Arizona
as a vital question.
May Kill Statehood Bill.
Just before the republican house con-
ference on the statehood bill convened
this afternoon the situation remained
unchanged. Speaker Cannon still de-
clares the house dignity at stake, and
that the senate must recede. The be.
lief prevailed, however, that Mr.. Can
o would gracefully recede. The For
aker element in the senate gave out
the impression that Speaker Cannon
must surrender Or no new states will
be admitted. Babcock of the insurg-
ents insists that Oklahoma and Indian
territory be admitted, no matter what
Cannon wants.

Washington, March l5.-Senator
Tillman addressed the senate today on
the rate bill, and said: THE gross
earnings of the railways are annually
$4,000, 900, 900 and the net earnings
$1,000 0 900. Once every three years
every dollar in the country becomes a
part of their net earnings, which is
equal to the annual expenditures OF
the United States government. Small
wonder, with such a p~rincely income
the most brilliant legal minds in the
country are at their command; small
wonder that the average citizens are
driven to believe that the government,
instead Of controlling the roads, is con.
trolled by them.
Voices Not to Be Drowned.
The clamor for rate action, which
has been gathering force for several
years, is now such as to threaten a very
cyclone of passionate resentment
should the peoples representatives fail
to give the relief demanded. Woe to
that public servant who shall seek to
belittle the question and fill the bill

Possible to Amend Bill.
The senator said he believed it was
possible to amend the present loosely
worked bill so the circuit courts could
not interfere with the commissions or

How to Brush the Teeth. -.
The teeth should not be brushed from side
to side. II this Is done the points Of the
gums will be injured. and the teeth loosen
ed. The upper teeth should be brushed
from the top downward (from the gums to
the ends Of the teeth). the lower teeth from
the bottom upward. also from the gums
to the extremity Of the teeth.
1t Is essential to wash the teeth at night,
and wise to wash them also in the morning.
Rinse the mouth after each meal.
Outstanding Ears
Are far from beautiful, and are usually the
cause OF careless dressing in babyhood. A
thoughtless nurse will put the child's bon
net on without pausing to see II the ears
are perfectly fat against the sides of the
head, and. unless care Is taken in this re-
spect, the ears get all doubled up and pro-
trude in an ugly. manner, which becomes
quite Disagreement as the child grows
older. II the ears of young child have a
hayward tendency to protrude bandage
should be tied round the head at night, not
too tightly, but just to prevent the ears
laid down to sleep.
About the Eyebrows.
Many children possess beautiful heads Of
hair, which is often allowed to hang loosely
over their faces without being confined in
any way. This may certainly show the
hair OF to the best advantage, but quite
hides the best points of the child's face and
often Is the cause of scanty eyebrows-a
Disagreement which will be more noticeable
when the child Is grown up. The growth
Of scanty eyebrows can, however, be en-
couraged by brushing lightly with soft
brush. and this also tends to make them
arched. but on no account should they be
clipped to insure their thickness. Clipping
the eyeiashes to promote their growth Is
also a practice that should be abolished. as
IL the child should move while they are
being clipped 1t may result In injury to the
eyesight.

Potatoes

Potatoes ..
Make so brave showing in quantity
quality and variety in autumn that one may
indulge In a different one every day of the
week. Along general lines it may be stated
that root vegetables are best cooked in
boiling sailed water. though the eDulntion
in most cases should not be violent enough
tot break the vegetables.
While cooking, the cover of the saucepan
should be drawn to one side to allow for the
escape Of the volatile parts of the vegeta-
bles along with the steam. Some of the
root vegetables are to be peeled before cook
ing. but the majority are best cooked with
the skins on. This particularly Is true of
the potato. The valuable salts Of the vege-
table lie next to its skin, and when peeled
these are lost The best way to cook po-
tato is to bake it; the next best il to steam

go in; then push back on the range. where

tato is tender. Pour or the water. sprinkle
