Ii is the business of the kidneys to
remove from the blood all poisonous
materials. They must be active all the
time, else the system suffers. There are
times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of a rem
edy. 1t has saved many people from
disaster by rendering the kidneys SER

NEW CHARTER BEATEN.
ChfcagO's Proposed Measure Is De-
feated Two to One

feated Two to One.
Chicago's proposed new charter was
defeated at the polls Tuesday by vote
Of more than two to one. The measure
was showed under in many strongholds
of both parties alike, losing in all but
four of the thirty-fve wards. Fifty per
cent of the registered electors turned out,
and their ballots killed the act by vote
of 59,5S1 for to 121, 479 against.
knowledge had hardly been obtained
that the charter was dead than a move
ment was on foot to secure another IN
strument that will contain the good fea-
lures of the defeated measure while hold
ing none of the alleged defects that LED
the voters to turn it down.
An analysis of the vote shows that the
campaign made by the United Societies
bore much fruit in the shape of ballots
against the measure. A survey of the
situation. indicated that the defeat of the
charter was due most largely to the con-
tention that taxes would be raised I'M
der the instrument, and that the Sunday
closing laws would be put into force.
On the North and West Sides hundreds
of small property holders turned out to
register an adverse vote because of the
taxes argument, while in the thickly set
tied foreign sections heavy vote against
the act was tailed because of the per
sonal liberty" appeal.
The ward gerrymander, too, undoubted-
ly played an important part in the defeat.
The political aspect it gave to the char
ter led many an independent voter to show
his resentment by marking an adverse
ballot.

NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

The girl who can sketch in colOrs can
make an attractive screen by covering
the frame with green denim and sug,
costing an impressiOnist landscape, let
ting the denim itself constitute the nee
essary green tones.
The best method of putting On fas-
teners Is to sew them strongly to a
stout piece Of silk tape, hemming these
strips of tape closely to opening after
all the pressing is done. The fasten,
ers are apt to make shiny places when
pressing Is done after they are in place.
To finish the edges Of doilies or other
buttonhOled edges cut the goods a little
distance from the line where the but
tonhoiing is to go and hem it back to
that line. Then buttOnhOle the folded
edge. This prevents the frazzled look
ing edge so often seen after washing
and gives it a padded appearance.

The Indian name Of this great fighter
Of the fresh water lakes and tributa-
ries is "esoXmasQuinongy." Our nat
uralists have the word translated into
about eight or nine different styles, but
the correct way of spelling it in our
language is undoubtedly ''muskel-
lunge." Most fishermen, however,
pronounce and spell it to suit them
selves, and no man seems to be an ac-
copied authority. 1t is one thing in
Canada, another in the St. Lawrence
and another in the great lakes. The
favorite among New Workers IS mus

of seven and a half feet, and the big

The electric storm Of Tuesday
evening, was one of the hardest
that has occurred IN this vicinity
this summer. The arc lights were
extinguished, the lightning striking
an arc-light at the Rhodes corner
in the north part Of town; the wires
were broken and the lamp knocked
down. Joe McCoy's residence IN
the first ward was slightly damag
ed, and numerous trees were split
open and several barns struck.
"A party OF Lancaster ladies
were invited to spend the day Tues
day with Mrs. j. W. Livingston.
The threatening weather Of the
morning did not dampen their
ardor, and they arrived in time for
a sumptuous dinner at the home OF
their hostess. AT five o'clock, a
few PlattevIlle ladies were there to
meet them and after ''pot luck"
supper, the visitors started home.
Their journey back was a stormy
one, but they got home safely. The
party consisted Of Mesdames Harry
Brown, W. B. Carter, Frank
Schreiner, J. Bennett, Fred Burr,
Sykes, and Misses Meyer and Emma
Schreiner.
Readers Of a paper constitute a
sort of family TO the editor, in each
of whom ne has personal interest.
The editor is glad at all times to see
them, and would make pllgrimages
into the country TO call on them at
their homes, but for the deuced
slavery of his occupation. No other
occupation makes a slave SO COM
pletely of the man who was born to
be free. Accordingly the poor editor
has to stay at home and sharpen
pencil and shears, when he would
gladly be abroad with his sub
scribers, viewing their property and
eating their good chicken. But the
idea that he wants to see the mem
bers of his numerous family only
when subscription comes due is a
mistake. If the newspaper man is
worth a cotton hat, he delights to
see each of his patrons whenever he
comes TO town and has little time
for visiting. Farmers, come and
tell us about the crop prospects,
other farmers will be glad to read
of it. Measure the big pumpkin
and bring us the dimensions, we
will give the world the news. Tell
us about your gOings, others want
TO read about them. Make this
office a place to visit, we regard you
as human and your affairs as worth
while. Come and see us, the latch
string is on the outside of the door.
Come IN often.

REPUDlATE CONTRACTS.
Western Federation of Miners Curtails
Power OF Local Unions.


The annual convention Of the West
ern Federation of Miners has by vote
Of 345 to D delegates deprived local
unions under its jurisdiction Of the
power of making contracts with en-
ployers. The preamble and resolution
adopted read as follows:
Contracts entered into with the en-
ploying classes are of benefit only to
the owners. Such contracts divide the
workers in their struggle with the ex-
ploiters, chain one body of workers
in subsection while war is being waged
upon another body, often compel one
union to scab upon another union, de
stroy the class instinct of the workers
by false sense of temporary security
to cease taking an active interest in
the affairs of their organization while
such contracts are in force and have
absolutely no place in a progressive
labor organization; therefore be it
Resolved, By the fifteenth annual
convention of the Western Federation
of Miners that any and all signed con-
tracts or verbal agreements for any
specified length of time that may have
been entered into by any local union or
unions of the Western Federation Of
Miners are by this convention declared
null and void

NEW IDEA IN LABOR FIELD.
Colorado Building Trades Plan a State
Organization.

Colorado, always coming to the
front with something new-sor 1etimes
startling-in the labor field, now pro-
poses the organization of state
building trades council Building
trades councils covering a city or the
cities and towns in a compact area
of certain limits are quite common,
and some years ago a national building
trades council was organized, though
it was not very successful. But Colo
RADIO unionists are the first to try to
draw all the building trades unions
into an organization which will direct
the affairs Of the many trades en-
ployed in that industry.
In some of the towns of Colorado
there is absence of organization in one
or more of the building trades due to
the small number of men usually en-
ployed or to other causes. The pro-
posed state council plan makes pro-
vision for dealing with all such cor
ditiOns.
The purpose is to send out from
the state council, which will have its
headquarters in Denver, business
agents who will make regular visits
to all the cities and towns in the state.
Efforts will be made to equalize wages
and working conditions and to bring
the whole state up to the Denver
standard. In this way the men who
go from Denver and the other strong
union towns can be kept in line.
Unions can be organized where adj
visable, and members can be recruited
and attached to the nearest union.
To a limited degree the plan has
already been tried in Colorado. Sew
eral trips have been made over the
state by business agents Of the Plumb
ers' union Of Denver, and in every in
stance the result has been increase in
membership, and in some cases wages
and working conditions in the towns
visited have been improved
The present plan is to get every
building trade to cooperate and to con-
tribute funds to carry out the idea
to its full extent At least one bust
ness agent will be kept at this kind
Of work all the time.

TO CLEAN LACE AND CHIFFON
Souse the Lace In q Bowl Half Filled
With Gasoline.


The best method for cleaning lace at
home is with gasoline. Souse the lace
up and down in a bowl half filed with
gasoline to remove the first aGd worst
CRIME; have a second bowl ready and
Immediately rinse the lace in fresh gas
oline Then, before it has time to dry,
wrap it carefully about some round OBJ
ject like a rolling pin or the roller used
for the kitchen towel The longer the
roller the better. The points Of the lace
must be carefully picked and fastened
down with pins.
The run of the chiffon veil and scarf
adds another item to the summer girls
cleaning bill. For ordinary dust and
dinginess use fuller's earth. rubbing
the powder in with the hands and pat
ting the folds of chiffon together be-
tween the hands as a laundress does
clear starching. If the scarf or veil has
been spotted in the rain, it can be
washed in gasoline For this use some
receptacle with a tight fitting lid, such
as a glass jar and tin milk shaker or
even tin pail. Have this half full of
gasoline, drop in your veil or scarf and
shake it rapidly. Pour out the dirty
gasoline, rinse in fresh, and, holding
the veil or scarf lightly between your
thumbs or fingers, shake it in breeze
until perfectly dry.
Remember that gasoline is highly in
f1ammable, so do the work in daylight
for fear of accident.
White chiffon wells, If of good quail
ty and the mesh is uninjured, can be
made to do duty again and again if
they are dyed. The process is very sim
pie. Directions are printed on the little
packages for home dyeing to be found
in any chemists shop. The dyes are
prepared for silks and woolens, and
the directions differ slightly That
meant for silk would be better for
chiffon. Good quality white chiffon
takes exquisite shades Of blue pink or
lavender. A good black is more diff
cult to obtain for any material, and the
novice should keep to light colors. Lace
also may be satisfactorily dyed at
home Tea or coffee will give many
beautiful shades from ecru to brown,
according to the strength Of the infu-
sion and the number Of times the lace
is dipped. It should be dried after each
dipping

Mans Unquestionabie Right.

The salutatory of the General Arbi-
tratiOn Magazine, which is published at
Orange, n. J., and edited by James II.
Grant, announces that it "wiIl at all
times advocate the idea and stand for
the principle of the unquestionable
right of man to own himself, that he
has the right to sell his labor. or skill
to the highest bidder. Recognizing the
right of the individual is to admit the
right for any number to combine and
fix the price for their labor which con-
sistently meets conditions Denying
labor this right would be denying them
their individual ownership, and we
maintain that organizing for their mu-
tual protection such organizations can
in nowise be construed a labor trust,
as some unfair and unthinking persons
contend. We maintain that when or
ganiZed laborers receive the highest
award for their labor and skill they
become factor for the public good;
business is accelerated and not retard-
ed; peace and happiness reign"

To Clean a Silver Teapot.

Twice a week, after using, fill the
pot with hot soda water and let it
stand for a couple of hours and then
rinse in plenty of warm water. When
the teapot is cleaned outside with
plate powder, it should also be pol
ished inside and well rinsed before
using. Any silver teapot which is not
constantly soaked thus will acquire .
sediment on the inside from the tea
which is most unwholesOme.
