WANTS STATE TO
BACK ROOSEVELT
A. 0. CrOzier Thinks Country
Should Force Third Term
on President

A. o. Crozier thinks Delaware should
advocate third term IN the White House
for President Roosevelt. He intended TO
ask the Board Of Trade last night to get
back of the third term idea but owing
to a press Of business before the board,
he did not present the matter officially.
After the meeting he gave out the follow
ing statement:
Immediate steps should be taken to
form the Roosevelt Club of Delaware fer
the purpose Of aiding in the renomnau n
and recollection Of President Roosevelt
There is 50 much unfinished business
in connection with the great policies he
has inaugurated, It would be fatal to the
welfare of the country and result in re-
action and business hesitancy and depres-
sion to swap horses while crossing a
stream as Lincoln put It. He must yield
to the general demand OF the people
Delaware will. soon do as most other
states have done. legislate to create a
commission 10 fix and enforce reasonable
railroad rates and service for all COM
merce within the State, as is done by the
Interstate Commerce Commission as to
interstate commerce, and also legally
regulate and control trusts and combines
and make them obey the law.
Roosevelt in the White House viii be
a powerful aid to the people Of Delaware
in bringing about for the first time in
this state the lawful regulation Of rail-
roads and other public service corpora
tions and trusts I'm accordance with the
decisions Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
BE keot Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why eX-
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts OF the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp
ness in bedroom it is probably due,
If there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
tion of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is a perfect wall. 1t
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t abb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filed
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window sills should be thoroughly var
nished or waXed, and the window cas-
inss kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

INACCURATE SEED TESTING.
What the termination Msy and May
Not Show.

It Is not at all certain that seed
when sown in the open field will show
the same amount of digestibility as
when sown in seed testing boxes or
between plates in the house and un-
der ideal conditions of warmth and
moisture. A great many experiments
have been made to show what the
terminating power of various seeds is.
and it has been figured out that the
results would be the same in the field
as In the seed testers. 1t is inter
esting, therefore, to note that a COM
parison of results do not show the
same percentage of seed terminating
under the two Conditions.
In some comparative tests reported
81 samples of seed of oats and wheat
were tested in regular seed testers
The lowest termination was 40 per
cent. and the highest 80 per cent 4
like number of samples of the same
seed were planted in the open ground
at the same time, the samples being
the same grain as those planted in
the testers. One of the oat samples
that had shown a termination of "a
per cent. when planted in the tester
gave only "a per cent. of termination
when planted in the open field An
other lot gave in the tester a germi-
nation of 81 per cent, yet when sown
in the open field it gave only 13 per
cent. This was a most remarkable de-
cline.
One of the samples of wheat seed
gave 63 per cent. of termination when
sown in the seed tester, but when
sown in the field gave only per cent
of termination. The poorest sample
for field work gave 62 per cent. of ger
mination when sown in the seed test
er, but in the field gave only per
cent. of termination. This illustrates
the fact that something besides ger
mination tests need be looked for
when figuring on what seed will do.
Conditions in the field are much hard
er than in terminating plate.
An investigation of this seed show
ed that it had been produced under
bad conditions and probably lacked
vitality 1t had been injuriously af-
fected by early fall frosts. Most of
it had enough vitality to enable it
to sprout under the perfectly favor
able conditions found in a sprouting
tray, but had not enough vitality TO
enable it to sprout when buried in the
ground where the moisture supply
would be too great or too little, the
temperature too high or too low, and
where the air would not have free
access to the grain
The termination tests may still be
considered valuable, says Farmers
Review but they are by no means
conclusive, so long as they are con-
Quoted under ideal conditions. 1t is
only rare that conditions III the open
ground are ideal for the termination
of seed

GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranchman Rode Far After Most Ser.
GUS Injury.

Jack Farland ranchman living at
the base of Pixies Peak, and whose
post office is Midland, in this county
yesterday suffered broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
bic it would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on After
having his leg set by a surgeon of
this city Farland collapsed and it
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in
carriage, the accident having hap
pened early in the morning.

Child Turning Purple.

Mary Eighotz, three years old, of
New York, is turning purple. The
doctor says she is suffering with a dis.
ease known as purpura hemorrhagi2a.
The child's mother first noticed the
changing color three weeks ago. While
bathing the girl she detected small
purple spots on various parts of the
body. Alarmed, she applied home
remedies, but the spots continued to
spread. The child's body presents the
appearance of being tattooed. Almost
the entire body is covered, with the
exception of the face, which thus far
has not been affected. While most of
the time the blotches are of mellow
purple, they occasionally change to a
deep plum color or dull red. Some
blotches are as large as a penny, 9th
ers are no larger than a pinhead. The.
disease is probably caused by d rheu-
matte germ

Sheep Raising in Australia.

for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries Argentina being first with

72,000,000, and Russia third with TO-
100000. Only few years ago Aus

than 106,2G0,000 head Of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions of Australian sheep, but since

Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1877, being of the Spanish

ROAD TO SUCCESS
PUBLICITY is THE MAIL-ORDER
MANS GREAT WEAPON.
MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE
"Fieht Fire with Fire" and the Dol
lars Now Going CityWard Will
Stay in the Home Community.

The merchant who would wage sue
cessfui warfare against mail-order
competition should study mail-order
methods. The same tactics that takes
the dollar out of the community will
keep it at home.
And what are mail-order methods?
The keynote of it all may be found
in the one word-publicity The mail
order house advertises. 1t does not
advertise better goods at less money
than the home merchant gives, but it
advertises persistently. 1t puts it's
proposition before the public constant
ly. 1t recognizes no dull season in its
campaign for publicity. 1t never let's
up.
At a gathering in Iowa some time
ago a mail-order man explained some
of the system followed in the cam
paign of publicity. According to this
explanation the mail-order house seeks
the line of least resistance in its
search for business. Whenever they
can find town in which the mer-
chants are not active advertisers they
food that community with their liter
ature. When they find a town in
which the furniture dealer, for exam
pie, is afraid to use printers ink they
pay particular attention to the subject
Of furniture. They are searching for
the weakest link in the chain of home
defenses.
Something of this is explained by
