Few persons realize that a horses
hoof Is really the same thing as the
toe nails OF human beings or OF ami
mails having toes The horn of a hoof
grows just as 4 toe nail does. The
hoof grows more rapidly in unshod
horses than in those wearing shoes,
and it grows faster in horses which
are well groomed and well fed But
on an average the horn grows about a
third of an inch Il month Hind hoofs
grow faster than fore hoofs The toe
Of the hoof being the longest part. it
takes longer for the horn to grow
down there than ut The heel. For in
stance. the toe will grow entirely down
in from eleven to thirteen months.
while the heel will grow down in from
three to five months. As the new horn
grows out any cracks or defects In the
old gradually work down TO where
they can be cut off. just as with human
finger nails you can watch the progress
of a bruse from the roof to the tip

Trivial Cause of a Bloody War.

In the year 1854 Polish nobleman
became obnoxious to the laws of his
country by reason of his having com
mttted crime He fed to Sweden
wherenpon John casimir king OF To
land, wrote to Charles Gustavus, king
Of Sweden, demanding the surrender Of
the criminal. The king OF Sweden on
reading the dispatch noticed that his
own name and titles were followed by
two 'et ceteras,' while the name OF
the king of Poland was followed by
three The missing let cetera" SO en-
ragged the king of Sweden that he at
once declared war against Poland
The war was carried on with great bit
terness until 1850. when a peace was
signed at Olivia. near Danzig A con
temporary writer (Kochowsky) poured
out his lamentations on the war in
these terms: How dear has this 'et
cetera' been to us. With how many
lives have these two potentates paid
for these missing eight letters With
what streams of blood has the failure
Of few drops of ink been avenged"

anxious to keep the government UNI
der the control of the people. Take
the election of United States senators
by the people as a test The demo-
Gratis want to give to the voters
chance to elect and to control their
representatives in the United States
senate. The democratic party in the
house of representatives passed the
first resolution for the submission
of the necessary constitutional
amendment They did this eight
years before any republican congress
did it. The democratic party has
thrice demanded this reform in its
national platform. The republican
party has not done SO. Why do DEM
ocratic leaders insist upon this re-
form and republican leaders oppose
it? There can be but one answer
the democratic party is nearer to the
people than the republican party.
Young man, will you stand with the
people or against them?
The answer to this question af-
fects your country. If you are with
the people your influence, be it great
or small, will hasten their victory.
If you are against the people your
influence may retard that victory.
But while in the first instance it is
your country that may gain or lose
by your action, you must remember
that in the long run your position in
politics will depend upon your con-
duct You can not fool the people al
ways. You may lead them astray if
you dare, but they will punish you
when they find you out. You may
work for the people without recog-
nizing it at first, but you can trust
them to discover the character of
your work and to reward you accord
ingly.-Bryan' Commoner.

SAW MILL WASTE.
Forest Service Suggests ManufaC

Washington, Oct. ESQ insure

quate'y the future needs of the
country seems one of the most i'm
iportant of the many forest prob
ilems of the United States. Statistics
icollected by government experts.
however. show that there are posi-
bilities in the field of invention for
the relief of the drain on the coun
| try's remaining pulp wood forests
| by devising means of utilizing saw
mill waste.
| 1t is estimated that there are A
i1-2 million cords of slabs destroye
I in refuse burners of the lumber mills
| of the country each year. The wood
used for pulp last year amounted to
| approximately 4 million cords, about
a quarter of which had to be import
ed The mill waste estimate is based
on a recent canvass of some of the
| larger mills of the country by the
| United States forest service, which
established the interesting fact that
mills having an aggregate cut of 81
440 million board feet had final
waste of 100000 cords of slabs af-
ter the best had been used for lath.
Assuming these mills to be represen-
tative, it is seen that there is still
considerable waste in forest products
at the mill even after the earnest eff
forts of lumbermen during the last
ten years to bring about closer
utilization of the whole tree.
These figures make it look as if
American inventors, who are per-
forming wonderful feats in other
fields, should get down to the con-
sideration of methods to make these
waste slabs available for the pulp
makers. Work along this line would
also be likely to show the way for
utilization of thousands of tons of
sawdust which are now wasted each
year.
1t is true that some utilization is
being made of mill waste at present,
but in most cases it is only the larger
! and more modern plants that are
even making any attempts in this
iline Then, as it is, the plants which
luse the waste slabs, after laths are
made often waste the sawdust and
Those which use the sawdust waste
1.-THE slabs The slab residue from the
lumber cut of the country Is estimat-
ed to amount to about Ia million
cords, of which about 6 million,
with an average value of $1.40 a
icord. is sold for fuel, 8 IL million
burned by the mills for fuel, and 4
LIP millions sent to the refuse burn
iers. This last figure shows the enor-
nous quantity Of forest product that
is pure waste.
! The iron furnace Stag heaps have
been seized upon by the brick max
! er, and the screening dump OF the
| coal mines has become a valuable
source of raw material for the bril-
lquette manufacturer. Experts say
that it may prove possible to make
| lust as good use of the waste heaps
of the lumber mills If slabs and
sawdust can be converted into pulp.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are

Many rheumatic attacks are due
TO uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove all
uric acid from the blood. It's pres

BRYAN'S CHANCES TO WIN.

Chairman Mack of the national
democratic committee puts in q
claim for the vote of the following
states:
Solid south, 1866; Idaho, 3; Mon
tana, 3; Colorado, ); Nebraska, s;
Nevada. g. Indiana, Is; Ohio, %;
Delaware, g. Kansas, TO- New York,
SO; New Jersey, u; Connecticut, I;
South Dakota, 4 total, Sol.
Mr. Mack has picked up 50 more
votes than he actually needs to elect
Bryan. We are glad he thus has al
lowed for what Dr. Brooks calls the
process of elimination.
1t may be that the Foraker rebel
lion in Ohio, which includes the ne
gro vote, is sufficiently strong to give
that commonwealth to Bryan, but
we wouldn't feel comfortable We're
that our only chance for getting a
hat.
We have seen nothing to warrant
a democratic claim for Delaware,
Connecticut and Kansas. 1t may be
that the latter is about to indulge
one of it's periodical sprees, but cel-
tainly the decanter is nowhere in
sight.
The New York World of Sunday,
mad this TO say:
Nine days before the campaign
ends the managers of all political
parties agree that Mr.. Bryan cannot
be elected president of the United
States without the thirty-nine cleo
toral votes OF New York state. Mr..
Taft can get the requisite PAP votes
without New York, but to do so he
must land Ohio and Indiana or either
Ohio with West Virginia, Nebraska
and Maryland.
The republican managers claim
TO hold New York, Ohio and Indiana
safe. If their prediction is correct
MI Taft will be elected,
The democrats are equally We
{ hement in their declaration that New
! York Ohio. Nebraska, Maryland and
| West Virginia are safe for Bryan
! They are less sanguine of Indiana
| than OF the other states though they
! say that they have a fighting chance
( in that state.
! This is the first intimation We have
had that the democrats had serious
=, doubts as to Indiana.
j As the situation presents itself tt
/ MS after as careful a survey of the
! field as is possible at this distance
here is the Bryan chance to win:

THE FIRST VOTER.

Young man, great responsibility
attaches to your first vote AS you
begin, so you are likely to continue.
The momentum that carries you into
a party at the beginning of your po-
Iitical life is apt to keep you in that
party unless some convnlsion shakes
you out of it Start right, and in or
der that you may start right, ex-
anime the principles of the parties
and the policies which they advo
cate
There are two great party organi-
cations in the United States, one fifty
years old, and the other more than
a century old. The republican party
has been in power almost uninter-
ruptedly for more than half CEN
tury and under its reign abuses have
grown up which threaten the per
petuity of the government and en-
danger our civilization. SO great are
these abuses that republican reform
ers are now pointing out that some
thing must be done--and what can
be done? The first thing is to undo
the things that have been done, and
the party which has done them, but
the party which has protested
against these abuses and pointed Out
remedies
The republican party has turned
the taxing power over TO private in
diyiduals it has allowed monopolies
to grow up and assume control OF
the industries of the country by
granting privileges by law and by
giving immunity TO the large violat-
ors Of the law: the republican party
has permitted the fortunes of the
predatory rich to become so large
that government is corrupted, poll
tics debauched and business pollut
ed
The democratic party proposes tf
withdraw the taxing power IRON
