Smith of New JERSEY.

Former Senator James Smith of New
Jersey, who goes to Denver as an anti
Bryan delegate. should serve on the plat
form committee of the convention. He
was one of Mr.. Germans lieutenants in
amending the Wilson tariff bill in the
Senate, by which the measure was made
to take on larger degrees of protection,
and probably still retains his protection
views This. therefore. is not the first
time that Mr.. Smith has been In an
tagonism to Mr. Bryan, who at that time
was champion of the Wilson bill. The
tariff is to figure prominently at Denver,
and with the Bryanites pulling in one
direction and men of the Smith stamp in
another the result may not at this time
be forecast

Disease and Education.

Ignorance and carelesSneSs. said
Washington physician in lecture TO
local audience last night. are accountable
for the greater part of the tuberculosis
from which the community suffers. But
it is gratifying to know that through the
efforts of an organization Of citizens the
people of all classes being steadily
educated to understand the nature of this
disease and brought to a sharper realiza-
ton of their responsibility as individuals.
The campaign of instruction in tubercu-
losis dangers has already accomplished
results. While the vital statistics may not
Immediately disclose a lessening in the
rate of morbjdity and mortality from
this disease. it is we'll known that the
cause of Consumption" and the means of
its spread are better understood by the
classes which have in the past chiefly
suffered from it.
To know the true nature of the disease
and the means of it's spread is rule
to take precautions against the dissemina-
ton of the disease principles 1t is. Of
course a slow work. thus undertaken by
the sanitarians and progressive citizens.
Unfortunately much of the danger springs
from the close contact between the family
and the domestic servants. and it Is we'll
understood that the home life of a large
ma jority of the servants in this city IL
not sanitary. The housing conditions sur.
rounding them are bad. and they are the
most difficult of pupils in the great class
ranged before the instructors Of the anti
consumption school. But steadily the adj
vance is scored. The housing conditions
are being improved.
Perhaps the progress is SO painfully
slow at times that discouragemen is felt.
But every year sees change. The alley
tenements remain a menace to the NUM-
plished in that direction before Washing
ton can be rated as perfectly healthy
city. 1t is now realized that serious
mistake was made when these dwellings
were permitted within the squares, out
of the lines of sewer and water connec-
tiOns. Considering that many hundreds
of domestic servants go into the homes OF
Washington straight from these centers
of filth and possible infection, it is not to
be wondered that last nights speaker de-
clared that one of the chief menaces to
the local health lay in the conditions SUR
rounding the average kitchen. His state
ment of the danger should attract the at
tention of Congress to the necessity of a
broad scheme of legislation aimed at
cure of the wretched conditions in which
some thirty or forty thousand Of the peo-
pie of this city live today

Vocal Charm.

Conversation a thing
That few people shirk.
Twill more easily bring
Gay results than mere work.
Though duty be strong
Twill cease to compel
When a man comes along
With a story to tell.
And so it befalls
That full many a man
Shuns the duty that calls
And talks all that he can.

Would be wondrously gay,
With nothing to do

A Beautiful Face
The Secret Of Partisan Wom-
ems Beautiful complexlons

(From Chicago Record.Heraldo

(From Chicago Record-Herald.)
The the minds of most women,
Partisan means beauty-so world
famous are the ladies of Paris for
making themselves charming and
beautiful. And yet it is fact that
Parisiennes, SO far as features are
concerned, haven't beautiful faces. as
rule. Their beauty consists largely
Of immaculate compilations. An
American lady, visiting friend in
Paris, obtained from her the secret
of the clear, charming compilations of
French women and says that it is a
wash that is prepared at home and ap-
piled to the face daily. Obtain at your
drug store ose Water, ounces;
Cologne Spirits, / ounce; Eppotone,
ounces. Put the Eppotone in pint
of hot water (not boiling), and after
dissolved strain and let cool. Then
add the Rose Water and Cologne
Spirits.
The above wash is easily and quick
ly prepared at home, and is a most de-
/ lightful toilet preparation, harmless
even to a baby's face, and soothing to
tender skins. Its application daily will
work wonders with even the plainest
compilations, transforming the sallow
and unsightly into the fresh, delicate
bloom of youth.

YOU! Dyspeptics
Read
What An Emlnet Medical Man Says
Dyspepsia Really is. Then
Gain Hope.

This affection called Dyspepsia is
the greatest torment Of civilized life
and is to be considered rather as an
unnatural functional difficulty than
as structural disease"
The same authority has classified
dyspepsia this: The first form due to
relations with other organs which are
in morbid and unhealthy state, which
is characterized as reflex action OF
such type is the nausea and vomiting
| caused by irritation of brain, lungs
liver OF uterus.
The second form is caused by scanty
supply Of gastric juice, made evident
by slowness of digestion, long reten-
ton of food in the stomach, distress
for long time after meals, accompan-
led by weighty and uneasy feelings at
pit of stomach, decomposition of food
in alimentary canal causing fetid and
foul gases and the appearance of nu.
digested food in the excavations from
bowels.
The third and last form of dyspep-
STA, according to this renowned medi-
cal light, is that which accompanies
some abnormal quality of the gastric
juice, combined with partial para
lyss Of the stomach's muscles so that
this organ cannot sufficiently mix the
food with the digestive fluids.

flicted with dyspepsia as above des-

These tablets contain digestive
agents which act with or without the
aid of the stomach. One grain off

never i'll flanneis or other woolens as
they absorb :iic moisture and cause the
silver to taraish To clean silver rub with
mixture of whiting and Gold Dust
washing powder. A good way to clean
large pieces of silver that are covered with

them in kettle Of warm water in which
has been dissolved a tablespoonful of
Gold Dust washing powder. Line the
kettle with pieces of cloth and lay pieces
of cloth between the silver Let the water
come gradually to the boiling point. Rinse
in clear, hot water, dry with soft towels
