THE SURE AND SAFE wAYis put THE CIR.

The other way, WHICH rs MORE DIFFICULT
3 AND UNCERTAIN, is to put an X-mark in the square
at the left of each of the % presidential electors the
Democratic ticket under the rooster.
Mr. Bryan's name will be on the ballot at the head
OF the Democratic ticket but there is blank square
opposite his name because do not vote direct for pres

An X-mark opposite the only of the first pres

part of VOTE THIS MISTAKE WAS MADE IN 1892
WHEN ONLY ONE DEMOCRATIC ELECTOR WAS
CHOSEN, whereas all the Democratic electors would

A long eslablished belief nov se

A long-es,ablished belief now Sc
riously questioned, If not disproved,
Is that the various senses have each
a special center in the brain. Near
ly half a century ago Broca decided
that the faculty OF articulate speech
is localized in the foot OF the third
cerebral conyolution on the brains
lett side, and It has been understood
that the removal OF this par, OF the
brain would cause loss Of speech or
that the brain OF a person attacked
by aphasia would show a lesion in
this place. A like investigation by
DR.. Pierre Marie Of Paris does not
confirm this theory. More than
