Republicans Getting busy.
Immediately following the big conference
of republicans to be held in this city on
August 20, it is the understanding that
the state committee will get busy on the
campaign arrangements here. 1t is eX-
pected that the conference, which will
bring together hundreds of republicans
from over the state, will act as a sort of
starter for the campaign and put everyone
ing cd humor. Then will come the state
convention on September 9, and following
that the speaking campaign will be. opened.
State Treasurer Morrow and Secretary
of state Hayward have Joined in a letter
to the republican nominees to the legisla-
ture asking their opinion on calling to-
gether the Thirty-second general assembly
in special session for the purpose OF amend
ing the primary election law so that a
primary vote will be taken at the Novem-
Der election on United States senator. The
| letters that are being received lean very
/ strongly toward the extra session. 1t is
believed that this is quite natural, for such
u course would remove the burden from
the nominees to the legislature. There
would be no ttempts then to pledge the
nominees for the legislature on candidates
for the senate and a republican legislature
would be assured beyond a doubt,
Politicians are today stronger of the
opinion than ever that the governor will
call the special session and that he will
do this in a few days, probably before the
end of this week. The fact that stand
patters and progressives alike are taking
this view of the matter as being the best
thing for the party is the thing that is
leading politicians generally to believe that
this will be the course the governor will
take.
Investigation in the Morris Stein and
Miss Porter murder-suicide case points to
double murder instead of murder and sui
eide, according to the authorities. The body
of Stein still awaits burial here. Informa-
ton from L~oudenville, o., where the
tragedy took place, is that the body of
Miss Porter, the aunt of STEMS wife, is to
be eXhumed there for further eXamina-
ton. Further information from Loudenville
is that the note ostensibly written by Nor
rhs Stein after he had a bullet through his
brain has been compared with writing on
postal cards and corresponds we'll with
cards signed May" 1t is not believed
that he wrote the note and that both were
killed by a third party.
The injunction hearing over possession oil
the body of Morris Stein in district court
was postponed until tomorrow. 1t IL
claimed that Mrs. STEMS attorneys at the
hearing tomorrow will force STEMS father
to prove that the boys first marriage witt

then his marriage to May Bayard before

And he loved a girl and was loved
in return by her. And she did not
know that he was a coward. But
well he knew that he was.
And as the weeks went by and
much fighting had been done and yet
he had not offered up his manhood
for the cause his sweetheart grew
impatient and asked him what kept

that he was a coward save to him.

Then as she importuned him to go
he weighed his chances. If 60, said
he. l may not see actual service. but
she cannot twit me with cowardice.
l will risk it for my souls peace.
And he enlisted. And for many
months fortune favored him and he
saw no active service. But yet his knees
shook daily when he thought of the
possibilities of the future.
And at last he was ordered into bat
tie. and because his moral cowardice
outweighed his physical fear and he
feared ridicule more than he feared
danger he exposed himself to the fire
of the enemy. And he was unframed,
but his fellows said, he is a brave
man.
And his first battle was his last
also, for the war ended on that day
and he went home. And the papers
and his comrades spoke of his bra
very. and his sweetheart accepted him
at his reputed valuation and they
were married.
But his life was embittered. for he
hated hypocrisy and in his heart of
hearts he knew that he was still
coward.

THE BOUDOIR
Leather and Wicker Work
Furnishings Coming
Into Greater Vogue
Than Ever

Furnishings, ornaments and really
useful things are done this season.
for the first time, in combination of
rattan and skin that is most attrac-
tive. all colors and shades being
shown, so that there will be no diff
ficulty in matching the girls favorite.
Among them are the quaintest foot.
stools. rather low and long, fashioned
ON colonial lines. They have handles,
like rounds, at either end ON the top;
there are little legs, and the surface
on which to rest the feet is done in
Russia leather. These stools are in
red, tans, blues. yellows and the like,
the leather in all cases matching the
rattan.
For the girls paraso!s and um.
brellas there are most fascinating
stands woven in wicker, with finish
of leather. They are about three
feet high, and are square rather than
round. From the wooden bottom,
they flare gracefully at the top. and
the back is about two inches higher
than the front. It is not only useful
but extremely smart looking. making
the prettiest possible receptacle for
dainty parasols.
Some collar boxes attract attention
because of their new shape. Neither
round nor oval, they come nearer to
being oblong, and the outside is beau.

removable-that is to say, 1t has no

couple of small boxes to be used for

Anything more lovely and smart

done in wicker and leather is not to
be imagined. The table itself is

thing Hard to Over
estimate

Tonic baths are decidedly refresh
ing when that tired feeling overtakes
a person. For the matter of that, a
warm bath, not hot enough to be weak
ening. but of low enough temperature
to relax the nerves, is always bene-
fetal. and may be INDUCED in when
ever a woman is fatigued.
When to the restfulness Of warm
water is added soothing properties.
the body revives under them and elias
ITCHY of muscles returns with that OF
the nerves.
For instance, a camphor bath Is a
joy 1t is made from an ounce OF the
tincture mixed with half an ounce OF
tincture of berzoin and two ounces of
cologne or pure alcohol.
The whole compound is then poured
into a tub of warm water just before
one steps into the bath. This is not
to be used as a cleansing bath, with
soap.
Instead. the person should lie at full
length for Is minutes. giving herself
up to the soothing and gratifying in
fluence of the warmth and tonic. Such
"a bath as this may be taken without
danger Of contracting cold, If going
out of doors Immediately afterward.
Pine baths are highly commended.
and for those persons who are SUM-
GENTLY fortunate to live in a region
where the trees grow this luxury costs
almost nothing. For such bath Nor
way pine is an excellent substitute.
For the latter the needles should be
gathered fresh from the trees. for
those on the ground have little nour-
ishment left.
To make this pine tonic a gallon
kettle should be filled. the green being
stripped from the twigs and packed
down hard Over this a quart Of boil
ing water is poured, the kettle is COW
cred and placed where the water will
thus for at least six hours, and then
stand over night. In the morning
the water is strained off and the So
luton is ready to be used. There
should be little less than quart Of
liquid.
This alone may be poured into a
bath, but if an ounce of tincture of
benzoin is added it will increase its
virtues
A herb bath is luxurious without be-
ing expensive. To have it, mix an
ounce each of dried thyme, rosemary,
mallows and linden with an ounce and
half of bicarbOnate of soda. Over
this pour a gallon of water and cover
the kettle. 1t should stand over night
In the morning strain the liquid. A
quart of the mixture is sufficient for a
bath.
Daily immersion in something of
this sort will greatly improve the COM
plexion. II the temperature is hot.
excessive perspiration is induced. and
the pores are enabled to throw off i'm
purities that clog them and thicker
the complexion. Rubbing afterward
with a coarse towel stimulates circu-
lation to a desirable extent, and a
beauty treatment is had at little cost.
If taken before going to bed any of
these baths is likely to induce sleep.
