SHERMAN TO RETIRE
FROM GUARDIANSHIP
Republican Vice Presidential Candi-
date Makes Decision After Careful
Consideration Of Political
Situation

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Represen-
tative James S. Sherman, candidate for
vice president on the Republican ticket,
in a short time will retire from the con-
gressional campaign committee, of
which he is chairman.
The announcement of Mr.. Sherman's
prospective resignation was made here
today by Senator Hemenway of In
Llama, who, accompanied by Represen-
tative Mckinley of Illinois, arrived in
Washington this morning from Hot
Springs, where they had been in con-
ference several days with Judge Taft
The determination of Mr.. Sherman
to retire from the committee was
reached only after very careful con-
sideration Of the entire political sit
uation.
1t was finally deemed wise for him
to relinquish his position as chairman
of the congressional committee, largely
on account of the duties and RESPONSE
bilities which will devolve upon him
as one of the national candidates.
It has not been determined yet who
his successor will be.
1t is likely that Mr.. Sherman's for
NAL resignation and the announce
ment of the name of his successor will
be made simultaneously.
Leave to Join Cannon
Senator Hemenway and Representa-
tive Mckinley are en- route to Chi
cago. They left here today to join
Speaker Cannon in Chicago, and the
three will go thence to Mackinac
island in the upper lakes for a brief
rest.
1t has not been determined yet
whether Senator Hemenway will I'M
dertake the direction of the western
campaign, with headquarters at Chi
cago. The matter is under consid-
Grafton.
Senator Hemenway is not anxious to
undertake the work. but he may be
persuaded to do so. He has an i'm
portant commission In his state this
year, and feels that he ought to de-
vote more time to that than he would
be able to give to 1t if he should take
charge of the western national heao-
quarters.
The matter will be determined fin
ally probably within a few days.
Speaker Cannon left Saturday night
for Utica, where he conferred with Mr..
Sherman, and left last night for Dan
vile, his Illinois home, thence to join
Messrs. Henenway and Mckinley.

CAN'T LOWER WAGES:
MUST RAISE RATES
Declares Railroads of Country Are
MERELY mltations"-says Public
Sentiment "Grows No More
Favorable"
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 10.-That the rail-
roads of the United States could not
lower the wages of their employees
without bringing on a strike which
would paralyze the country for months
and that an increase in freight rates
by the railroads in the west as we'll as
in the east cannot be avoided If the
railroads are to continue to meet the
demands upon them. is the view ex-
pressed by E. P. Ripley, president of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road.
To this Mr.. Ripley added that most
of the railroads of the country are
mere limitations of railroads. senti-
ment which has great interest, coming
as it does from the head of one of the
foremost railroads in the country.
Public sentiment toward the rail-
roads, generally speaking" President
Ripley said, has not undergone any
change for the better
Here and there some are found who
express the view that public feeling
has gone too far. but nothing tangible
in the way of improved public senti-
ment has developed; nothing which
might lead to the repeal of some laws
affecting the railroads adversely.
Agrees with Brown
1.-The railroads in the west have been
considering the question of an increase
in freight rates.
st am in thorough accord in this mat
ter with the position taken by w. C.
Brown of the New York Central that
wages will have to come down OF rates
be increased. But the wages of rail-
road employees cannot be reduced with
out bringing on a strike which would
paralyZe the country for months The
only thing left seems to be to increase
the rates.
1.-The fact is that, with few excep-
lions, the railroads In this country are
merely limitations of railroads. They
are skimpingly built, yet have all kinds
of money to spend for the protection
of life and property and to handle
the business intrusted to them as the
public demands it shall be handled.
New capital must be raised, for the
only thing for those who. use the rail-
roads to do is to pay for all this or give
up the use of the railroads.
1.-THE consumer must pay the cost

DRINK BUTTERMILK

Asked what was the best summer
drink, famous physician replied;
"Buttermilk, and 1t Is also the best
winter drink, the best drink all the
year round" Noted European eel
entists have come to the same con-
'clusion as American physicians, after
some years of tests, and 1t is now de-
clared that a minimum of one quart
of butermilk day will add from ten
to twenty years to q mans life. In
fact, buttermlk as remedial agent
cannot be praised too highly. The
Tactic acid. the sour of the butter
milk, attacks and dissolves every sort
of earthly deposit in the blood yes
sells. Thus 1t keeps the veins and ar
teries so supple and free-runnng that
there can be no clogging up, hence no
deposits of irritating calcareous mat
ter around the joints, nor of poison
Gus waste in the muscles. 1t is the
stlffening and narrowing Of the blood
vessels which brings on senile decay.
Inasmuch as equity difficulties usually
arise from sluggish excretion, butter
milk Is blessing TO all equity sub
jects. 1t gently stimulates all the ex-
cretories---liver, skin and kidneys. 1t
also tones the stomach and furnishes
1t with the material from which to
make rich, red, healthy blood.

From an economical viewpoint the

OF course, there are rooms which do

But In cases of this sort there are
low wooden beds Of old-fashioned de-

The inevitable accompaniment of the

a necessity by lack Of modern lights
That is, on 1t are placed book or

LACE MENDlNG

A few minutes with lacemaker
who volunteered an explanation OF
some of the most used stitches In
lace work has been real boon to
one woman who now has a family OF
girls. With the trifiing knowledge
which she received, although 1t Is
many years ago. she has been able to
mend broken meshes and rents In
laces of yokes and cuffs and other ar
ticles Of wearing apparel, as we'll as OF
household linens, so that they can
hardly be seen. Any woman who has
dabbled In Mexican drawnwork or In
renaissance lace can bring her know
ledge to good account whenever she
finds herself In similar straits. Even
valenciennes, with Its very fine mesh,
can be mended with very fine thread
in an imitation of the mesh which will
escape ordinary observation. Irish
crochet Is not at all difficult to repair
nor its imitation. There Is double
lace knot which prevents the thread
from slipping which Is needed for any
