For Insomnia.

A very simple method of inducing
sleep in cases of persistent insomnia,
and one that has succeeded where
many drugs have failed, is-simply adj
minister a moderate amount of liquid
food before the patient goes to bed.
This diverts the blood from the brain
to the abdominal organs, and takes
away the cerbral excitement that pre-
cludes sleep.

The Hair and Sca1p.

Shampooing the hair too often Is
injurious to the hair and scalp. Once
a month is as often as the hair and
scalp should be washed. 1t can be
kept perfectly clean by brushing thor.

brushing is much better for the hair,
Water must be used upon the hair
only when it is washed. Used any 9th
er time it fades the hair. Massage
the scalp with the cushion tips Of
the fingers, being very careful not to
scratch the scalp with the nails. Irri
tating the scalp in any way will
cause dandruff. Occasionally, after
the massage, apply a lotion Of bora1
and glycerin, two drains Of each tt
eight ounces of distilled water. This
is cooling, and allays dryness of thu

PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS.
Attacks on Trusts Mere Bluffs to
Allay Suspicious Of the
People.

The cry of stop thief" vas never
nor sensationally raised to deceive
the public than it was by President
Roosevelt in his recent message on
the Standard Oil investigation. That
message was timed to meet two ext
gencies. The sugar trust indictments
were presented to the court in New
York the same day, and something
had to be done to offset the effect of
those indictments, which resulted
from the work of Democrats. And,
again, as it has since turned out, Mr..
Roosevelt was intending to desert his
friends and go over bag and baggage
to the camp Of his opponents on the
railroad rate legislation by accepting
the amendment suggested by Senator
Aldrich, dictated by Senator Carter,
written out by Senator Fulton, and
credited to Senator Allison, who knew
nothing of 1t until it had been printe5
in the newspapers and approved by
the President. Clearly the president
thought 1t necessary to play the cut
tle-ish and muddy the waters, in or
der to cover his ignominious retreat
into the railroad camp, by playing on
his calliope the old tune of stop
thief" and he played 1t loud and
long. The people applauded, of
course; for nobody knew what game
he was playing as an accompaniment
to the tune. But when they saw his
purpose, the next day, and realized
that they had been listening to the
music of a siren or of the Lorelei, men
began to say: This is all a game of
practical politics."
The Aldrich- Carter amendment es-
tablishes the broadcast possible court
review, including the right of the
courts to grant preliminary %injunc-
lions in favor of the railroads. It
makes the legislation practically abor-
tive, If not unconstitutional. 1t goes
farther than Knox or Spooner, or
Foraker proposed to go, and yet these
senators were represented as opposing
the president, by going too far. And
so the railroad rate battle ends in a
looSOy 40 OSCl luluS CloO IlC IlOpuU-
lican politicians have ever undertaken
has ended when pretending to attack
corporations. The attack on the
Standard Oil was a hoax, a feint to
cover the desertion of the president
to the camp Of the enemy. Those
Democrats who have been fighting
under the presidents banner suddenly
find themselves without a leader: find,
indeed, that they have been following
a decoy duck, a false light. If any
man outside of the trusts and railroad
combines can have any faith in Pres
ident Roosevelt's professions here
after, he will be a fit subject for a
!unatic asylum. The Democratic con-
gressional conventions which have in
dorsed President Roosevelt will do
well to meet over again and cancel
their Endorsements. There Is no long
er any possible excuse for INDUCING

We know to-day that there is no such thing as irretrievable ruin
by the knowledge and power we have we can rebuild what is de-

Life is secure, genuine; strong and vital only in proportion to our
ability to sacrifice those things which in the present are dearest to
us, to obtain those things in the future which are more worth while
than the things we have sacrificed. This principle is dangerous in
so far as we have the choice as to what is worth the sacrifice and on
our decision in such cases rests our happiness and our destiny.
