POWER OF COUNTRY PRESS.
Utterances Carry Much Weight at
Washington.

"The power of the country press in
Washington surprises me-" said a
middle west congressman last win
ter. During my two terms have
been impressed with it constantly. l
doubt If there is single calm utter
ance in any paper in the United
States that does not carry some
weight in Washington among the
members of congress. You might
think that what some little country
editor says does not amount to any.
thing, but it means a great deal more
than most people realize. When the
country editor, who is looking after
nothing but the county printing, gives
expression to some rational idea about
a national question, the man off here
in congress knows that it comes
from the grass roots. The lobby, the
big railroad lawyers and that class
of people realize the power of the
press, but they hate it. | have heard
them talk about it and shake their
heads and says Too much power
lHefe! Inc press IS more powerful
than money"
This was not said in fattery, but
because he had seen on congress-
mems desks the heaps of country
weeklies, and he knew how closely
they were read, writes Charles NJ
Harger, in the Atlantic. The small
est editorial paragraph tells the poll,
tician of the condition in that pa
per's community, for he knows that
it is put there because the editor has
gathered the idea from some one
whom he trusts as leader-and the
politician knows approximately who
that leader is. So the country editor
often exerts power of which he
knows little.

GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and a Mothers Love Make
Advice Valuable.

An Ills. mother writes about feeding
children:
IF mothers would use Grape-N Nuts
more for their little ones, there would
be less need for medicines and fewer
doctor bills.
IF those suffering from Indigestion
and stomach troubles would live on
Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a
short period they would experience
more than they otherwise would be-
lieve.
"Our children have all learned to
know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an
appetizing, Strengthening food. It is
every evening, with few variations,
like this: Mamma, let's have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have
eggs and Grape-Nuts yer forget

TO BEAUTlFY Tf4E CITY.
improvements thai Are Planned at tfe
National Capital.

Two distinct movements are now I'M
der way for the improvement Of the
capital city of this republic. One OF
these is for the purpose of gradually
doing away With the slums and I'M
sanitary conditions which are to be
found in Washington's back alleys.
While hardly mere than a beginning
has been accomplished, the work Of
removing dilapidated, unWholesome
shaclls and novels seem at least to be
making some progress. 1t is to be
Hoped that it can be pushed more
rapidly in the future.
The other scheme consists of plan
to appropriate ten millions to pur.
chase outright and devote to govern
mental uses tract of some 100000
square feet lying below Pennsylvania
avenue and between the capitol
grounds and the White House. 1t is
pointed out that many of the depart
ment buildings are overcrowded; that
the government is expanding large
Sums in rent for space in inadequate
ground which it is desired to buy
would furnish abundant room on which
to erect stately public buildings in
architectural harmony. The execution
of this policy would undoubtedly add
signally to the impressiveness of the
capital. 1t is also asserted, apparently
with some reason, that it would be far
cheaper to buy 1t now than to wait
until it is imperatively required when
its present owners will be pretty sure
to put prices up.
In any event, congress, while 1t
should not sanction waste or extrava-
gance, should deal with the needs of
Washington in a spirit of judicious
liberality, says the Philadelphia Bull
letin. The historic community en- the
Potomac has superb facilities for de-
velopment into a center worthy in ali
respects of it's political status. Mig
gardly economy regarding its require
ments would be short sighted and
foolish.

between the two is striking. Both of
the same height, each keeps his iron
gray whiskers trimmed in precisely
the same style, while the likeness ex-
tends almost to the numbers of their
gray hairs, which are carefully
brushed in order to conceal the bald
spots on their respective domes of
thought. Their dress is precisely
alike, and each affects the statesman's

Connecticut is usually regarded as
safe and pleasant place to live in,
and yet it had 43 murders in 1905,
where Maine had only two To be
sure, Connecticut has more people
than Maine, but not SO very many
more; 1t has fewer than 100000,
while Maine has 725,000. 1t is fair
to state that it was an unusually bad

"Oh, Aunt Mag" she pleaded, tear

But you said it was my forehead"
said Aggie May, with CLEAN o.
hope.
1T shines through" answered her
Aunt Mag. IF you want to rub it
off you'll have to wash your soul"
Aggie May turned her small face to-
ward the open door. Here was a
9b. n. She must think. Where was
her soul?
Beneath the apple tree Aggie May
gave way to the full horror of her mis-
cry and despair How could she reach
her soul? Her hands moved restless
ly over her chubby body. Where was
her soul? She had certainly heard it
mentioned before, but no one had ever
located it exactly. 1t couldn't be in
her stomach, she knew that, because
hadn't Aunt Mag said the blackness
shone through on her forehead? Ger

was! It was in her head, underneath
her hair. But how was she to get
ct it?
Again the complication of circum-

thing to do, however, was to cut off
her hal: After that she might
scratch little hole right back of the
forehead and get it out. The opera
ton sou lded painful, and at heart Ag-
gle May was a coward. She decided
that to crop the golden tresses might
be eficacious. After that she would
go down and hold her head in the
brook all day Maybe the water would
soak in. She started back to the
house, Obviously the first thing to do
was to get pair of scissors and some

Aggie May had committed a terrible
crime, and now she was reaping the
harvest. She knew it, because her
