 Cotton serves as a better bandage than linen, for the reason that the linen mora readily absorbs the albuminous serum in burns and skin diseases of a moist char acter, thus keeping the sXrface dry and causing pain. It also abkbrbs the fatty substances used in dressing, and thus prevent their action on the skin.
 The most perfect form will be unattrao- tive unless the skin possesses that bright ness polish and cleanliness which Is its finishing touch.

Flames Rise From Ocean,

Seattle Cor. St Paul Dispatch.
 The Kaga Maru and the Dirigo, two steamships coming here this week, re- ported an extraordinary phenomenon at sea about sixty or seventy miles off the coast of Vancouver island, which would appear to have been | submarine volcanic explosion.
 Passengers and crews of both ships mo- ticed bright flames and dense black smoke rising from the ocean and believed that some vessel was on fire. The Kaga Maru fingered in the vicinity some time, maneuvering her way close to the spot, but could discover no ship burning.
 The Dirigo passed the place late in the afternoon and reported that the fire and smoke continued far into the night. There appeared to be no loud noises or explos- ions, but the flames seemed to be rising higher and higher as the ship steamed to- ward port.
 The keeper of the lighthouse at Ia toosh island near the mouth of the straits of Juan de Fuca, noticed unusual waves strike the house that day, but did not re- port it until after he had heard Of the strange story told by the steamship men.

KISSES FROM A eIRDER.
lovelorn swede, Signaling Affection,
 Is Taken for Burglar.
,TIs n Woman \

New York Dispatch in Washington Post. Hanging by one hand from an iron beam, 100 feet In the air, on the fifth floor of St. Ignatius school, in East 11ighty-fourth street, and tossing kisses to fair face silhouted against the pane of a window opposite, Mattnew Belle field, loveorn Swede, living at 156l First avenue, was arrested early today lon suspicion that he was a burglar.
 A frightened voice over the telephone conveyed the news to police headquar ters that burglars were breaking into the school from the adjoining building, and Detective Graney was hustled from the East Eighty-eighth street station to capture them
 Graney found the building a little more than an iron framework, and even his trained eyes failed to find any intruder.
 He climbed to the fifth story, where suspicious noise attracted his attention. Revolver in hand, he crawled over the girders to the rear of the building where on a narrow ledge, hundred feet above the earth he found Bellefleld hanging from the window still throwing kisses to a plump servant girl, who was busily re- turning them.
 What are you doing?" demanded the detective.
 Go way" replied the swede Cant you see I'm busy?"
 I'm a detective" said Graney, fash ing his badge.
 Just a moment I'll talk to you"
 The fellow threw a parting kiss and swung back along the ledge to the de- tective.
 When the man faced Magistrate Breen in the Jefferson Market court he said his name was Matthew Bellefield, an ironworker, and that he had been em- ployed on the building where he was found
 He said he had a good job waiting for t him on the Hudson river tunnel, and as the work on the Eighty-fourth street building was done he concluded to take it. He then went to the building to get his tools so he could report on the new gjoh today.

This process is called compulsory liquidation" Through mys- terious channels everybody in the street is advised of what is going on and the at tention of thousands and tens of thou- sands of traders is turned his way. on the floor of the Exchange the profession als help the market down on him. The banks become more persistent and angri- ly demand that he either supplement his margins or close out his trades. They are adamant and, oh, so cold.
 The longer the victim holds on the worse it is for him, unless he is very strong and shrewd enough to realize early in the experience what is ahead Of nlln. Usually when the curtain falls on the last scene the victim Is a wreck. If he sur wives the trial he knows he has been put through a course of discipline and he knows why.
 There may be murder in his heart, but the chances arc he submits with the best grace possible to the frightful punish ment inflicted upon him, and resolves that he will never again put himself Tn d position to be crucified. He may not be broken hearted, but he has certainly add ed to his store of wisdom, and although he may be in the street twenty years longer he rarely "gets gay interferes with thte plans of the big people, or at tempts to swim counter to the tidal cur rent. leastwise not after warning has been served upon him.

pels me to state that some of these dis coveries soon began to wear an exceed ingly suspicious look The weapons be- gan to be strangely familiar. One in par ticular, a gas pipe bomb, that had been used as a copy weight In newspaper composing room, was brought three times to police headquarters among the prized and exhibited fruits of the raiding. It was easily recognized because the harm less printer that had used it had at some time scratched his initials upon it. There were others of the exhibits with similar histories, but of these matters the public heard little.
 By no good hap. I must think, the op- erating of the dragnet and the sorting of the fish therein fell to Michael J. SchaaclS. capital of the Chicago avenue station on the north side, a man of restless energy and, let us say, of small discretion. I have often wondered whether his delu- sions resulted from a kind of self-hypno- tism or from mere mania; but certainly he saw more anarchists than vast hell could hold. Bombs, dynamite, daggers and pistols seemed ever before him; in the end, there was no society nor associ- ation, however innocent or even laudable, among the foreign-born population, that was not to his mind an object of grave suspicion. The labor unions he knew were composed solely of anarchists; the Turner societies met to plan revolution; the literary guilds plotted murder, and the Sunday schools taught destruction. Every man that spoke broken English and went out 70 nights was a fearsome crea- ture whose secret purpose was to blow up the board of trade or loot Marshall Fields store. Into the presence of po-. lice captain in this reasonable frame of mind was brought one trembling alien after another, and from the cells into which they were flung presently grew crop of confessions that cemented the structure of conspiracy into a compact and durable whole.

Reducino the Abdomen.

Miss Cornelia A good exercise for the reduction of the abdomen is that of throwing the hands above the head with the palms outward, the arms extended, and the body thrown back as much as possible, and then, bending forward at the waist, keeping the knees straight and trying to touch the floor with the fingers. It is difficult to do without bending the knees.
 The following exercise is much easier and is effective: One lies extended full length upon the floor with the feet to- gether and the arms folded upon the breast. Raise first one leg stifly extend ed, and then the other. This will strengthen the muscles of the lower ex- tremities. The third movement. which is simple, is to bring the legs, kept closely together, into a position as nearly as pos sible at right angles with the body.

Miss L., Buffalo-Have ready a towel in which the long hair should be wrapped Wiring this then as tight as you can, and much moisture will be absorbed. Dis card that towel, and with fresh ones rub gently. but thoroughly. shaking the hair at intervals, and doing all one can to stimulate circulation under the scalp. Do not arrange the hair again until it is quite dry, for if you do an unpleasant odor is almost sure to result.

Improvements in Road Work.

State Highway Com'r Paul D. Sar-
gent states that there is great i'm
provement year by year in the quality
OF the permanent improvements made
by the Towns on their State roads.
This year, the improvements have
shown a decided tendency to get still
farther away from the old system of
making patching job here and there.
Wherever he has been over the State
with county commissioners, the county
officers have commented on the i'm
provement. In Kennebec county,
Albion shows big job of grading on a
hill on that portion of the road toward
Unity from Albion village, and job on
the bridge at the foot of the hill. In
Windsor, good job has been doue on
raising long stretch of road through a
swamp above the level of the surround
ing country, so that it will be passable
III mud time. IN Mount Vernon, II
good stone embankment has been built
alongside pond, so that the road will
not be overlooked at high water, and
will be passable at all times of the year.
Mr.. Sargent believes that such as these
are the permanent Improvements
which ought to be made with State
road money. The other counties of
the State have similar instances.

GOOD ADVICE FROM BRYAN.


In other editorials the Commoner has
pointed out certain remedies that ought
to be invoked for the relieving of the
present situation and the protection of
the public for the future, but it begs to
urge patience and confidence upon its
readers. The banks are, as rule, per
fectly sound. They are not loaded up
with bad paper. Examination will
show that prices have been rising and
that men are better able to pay their
debts now than they were ten or five
years ago, but the depositors can pre-
cipitate a panic if they are unreason-
able enough to do so.
The withdrawal of few dollars a
day by each depositor if he deposits
none, will soon cripple the strongest
institution. while an agreement among
the depOSitOrS to exercise a little more
faith will soon relieve the situation.
While the local banks may find it i'm
possible to withdraw the deposits which
they have made in Eastern banks, those
deposits will ultimately be paid, and
there is practically no danger of loss to
the various communities unless de-
positors are foolish enough to expect
the impossible.
When depositor puts his none y in
to a bank, he knows that his ability to
withdraw it on demand depends entirely
upon the probability that but few will
want to Withdraw the money at one
time. He has no right to expect, there
fore, that he can call for his money at
once if all the other depositors do the
same thing-still less should he expect
it if his timdity makes others timid
This is a time when depositors should
recognize the service of the bank to the
communication the bank would not
exist but for the local demand for it
and the depostor should help to pro-
tect the community by giving such sup
port as is within his power.
The deposltor who thinks only of him
self at a time like this IS as much to be
criticised as the citizen who, thinking
only of himself in time of war, refuses
to bear any of the risks or dangers
necessary for his country's protection.

MAINE FOLKS IN IOWA,

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL.
l wish to speak of few of Names
sons and daughters who came to Iowa
as early as 1851 and later. Many thanks
to Allen Goodwin. Mr.. Gowen and
others who have written such interest
ing sketches about Montville, my
mothers old home, and Palermo, where
my father, Robert Foy, son of Deacon
Robert Foy, was born and lived until
he came to Iowa in 1857. He is now al
most s. and the last of a large family.
II is 26 years since he made visit to
Maine. Fathers mother came to
America from the old country in 1895
at the age of Is, and landed on the
coast of Maine. Thence the family pro-
ceeded on foot, carrying their beds on
their backs, to make home in the
forest. Grandfather Foy came from
England.
| wish to mention one more smart old
lady, who if she stays with us until
Dec. 4, 1907, will be 96-Miss Martha I.
Dyer. She is very feeble, but says she
remembers distinctly all the events of
her youth, and of her brother, John
Dyer, going to school at the red school
house with those Montville boys who
became Congressman. Her niece with
whom she lives showed me some verses
co imposed and read by those boys in
1884 Miss Dyer is also the last of her
family.
l could speak of others who settled
near Redfield but fear my letter is al
ready too long. Mr.. Gowen described
the woods just as they looked to me
when l went to Montville with my
father, only thought the smooth white
birches had been pealed, as they were
the first had ever seen.
