lS2, liz VOTES LOSTN
STATE AT LAST ELECTION
Governor Stuart May Note Fact In His
Message.


Message.
There were 1912 voters in
Pennsylvania who in Novem ber
voted for the Presidential electors
but did not vote for the candi-
dates for Superior Court Judge.
That came about because they
marked a cross in the square at
the top of the names of the elect
ors and nowhere else on the bal
lot, The consequence being that
their votes only counted for elect.
ors. There isn't a bit of doubt
of that intention of the voters who
thus marked their ballots, to vote
an entire straight ticket-na-
tional, State and county-but
they frustrated their own inten-
tions by marking their ballots
wrongly.
In the entire State there were
/ 1867, 450 votes cast for the Pres
ldentlal electors, and ,087, 338 for
Judge of the Superior Court, the
difference being caused by unin-
territorial marking of the ballot.
Taft for President got 80, 400
more Republican votes than did
Porter, Republican candidate for
Supreme Court Judge; Bryan got
82,9l8 more votes than Grim,
Democrat, for Judge.
Chief Clerk Thorn, of the State
department, who has given the
matter much attention and study
may prepare form of ballot that
cannot be voted wrongly unless
the voter knowingly does so. A
good many are in favor of gong
blck to the old "yest pocket
oallot, which a man could prepare
at his home before he went to
the polls and was always Gel tain
how he has marked his ticket.
The attention of the Legislature
may be drawn to this fault IN the
ballot by Governor Stuart.

Perils OF Bad Company.

There was once a farmer whose
corn was destroyed by the cranes
that fed IN his field. He grew
angry and declared he would
stop the nuisance. So he put up
net and caught not only the
cranes, but a fine large stork
that had come down from a neigh
boring roof to chat with the
crane.
"Ill wiring your necks," said
the farmer. "You are pests aud
have hurt my fields"
"Spare mel" cried the stork.
"I'm innocent; indeed l am. |
never touched any of your be-
longings."
"That may be true" answered
the farmer, "but ] find you
among thieves, and I judge you
accordingly"

KITCHEN ECONOMIES.
Odds and Ends Of soap Utilized to Save
Pennies.

The housewife who squanders
all her odds and ends of soap
should learn a lessen in thrift.
She is reckless, because these
bits, no matter how small, can be
utilized in a way that saves more
pennies than one would think.
If you are one of those who are
careless in this respect, mend
your ways.
Gather together once a week all
the ends of kitchen and laundry
soap into one jar and all the ends
of toilet and household soap into
another jar.
AS most housewives use the
same brand of soap year in and
year out, there will not be much
of mixture. 1t will make no
difference if there Is, as the re-
suit will be much the same.
1t might be just as well to Ia.
bel each jar IN a clear manner.
On one pct Kitchen Soap" on
the other, ''Tollet Soap"
When you have both jars full,
go to work in some idle hour and
shave these pieces of soap with a
sharp old kitchen knife. Have
two pans or bowls for the pur.
pose, and when you are through
with the soap pour INTO each pan
two or three pints of boiling wa
ter.
Keep this water at the boiling
point until every particle Of The
soap is dissolved, stir 1t with a
clean wooden spoon, and when it
becomes soft and thick pour back
into the jars while hot and cover
each one.
Put them away to cool, and
when this is done you will find
each jar is full Of a smooth, even,
clear jelly.
This will keep for any amount
of time. The kitchen jar is left
in the pantry, and the toilet jar is
put in the bathroom.
This soap jelly just as good
TO use as a cake of soap Some
women prefer it. For shampoo
ing the hair it is far ahead of a
lather.
A tablespoonful of 1t may be
put into bottle of boiling water
with little bay rum if one likes
the odor, then shaken into a
thick froth and used on the head.
Half the bottle is used at first
to cleanse the scalp, and when
this is rlnsed off the other half of
the bottle is used to wash the
hair itself.
Clear hot water is used for
rlnsing, then pitcher of cold
water to close the pores. and the
halr is as clean as though the ex
pensIve halrdresser had done the
work.

The farmers who are careless
regarding the kind of fowls to
keep, pay well for their indlffer.
ence, says writer In CONNER
clal Poultry. They must content
themselves with the belief that
zone fowl is as good as another" :"
but they are governed by old Gus
toms and usages instead of ex-
perience. Compared with com.
mon fowls, the pure breeds are
more seful; they lay more eggs;
some varieties come TO maturity
sooner; they are far more quiet
generally; at maturity the cock
erels make fine birds and the pull
lets good winter layers. Fiocks
of com mon kinds noticed on some
farms cause loss to their owners
and are a drawback TO any farm
IN these days of progress and
improvement. 1t costs but little
to begin with pure breeds, end
IN one year the farmer can have
a handsome flock of nice, thrifty,
useful breeders that will give sat
isfactlon and pay hberally fer
their keeping.

Health Hints.

If one eats sweets in excess,
especially candy, the digestion is
upset and plmples will follow,
for the skin is taxed to get rid of
the impurities of the body. A
regular habit in times of eating,
and simple food, easily dIgestible,
will do more than cosmetics to
make the skin fair. The skin
helps to rid the body of impuri
ties, but 1T must not be called up.
on to do more than it's share, as
is the case when a person is con-
stlpated Because 1t is a delicate
subject, not half enough Is said
or thought about regulating the
bowels. Lack of proper action
of them Is the foundation of more
than half the Ills of life. The re
absorption into the system of the
matter which should be thrown
off, results when the bowels act
irregularly, and the result is
poisoning of the system, which
will show itself IN the skin, or
will upset the stomach, or will
give headaches. You will have
noticed that IN the directions Civ
en- for the care of the skin, one Is
told to eat coarse breads. Why?
Because 1t is a remedy for con-
stlpation. One is told to drink
great deal of water, or hot water
before breakfast. Why? Be.
! cause 1t causes the bowels to act
more freely. One is told to take
sulphur and molasses and host
of other home remedies, and one
and all are excellent for the same
reason. Therefore, If you would
have good skin, see that the
bowels act regularly once a day
at least, better twice a day. 1t
is pity to get IN the habit of
taking cathartlcs for this pur.
pose, but it is a hundredfold
worse not to take them If the re.
suit can be obtained in no other
way. Brown bread, bran bis
cults, Indian meal cakes and
puddings, are good articles of
diet for the complexion. Fruit
is excellent, especially apples
and oranges. Drinking hot wat
er at meals and when rising in
morning will improve the COM
plexion. Stewed prunes are
good. II you must take medl-
cine, cascara in it's various forms
is one of the best 1t is better
to take small doses before eating,
rather than the customary large
dose which is taken upon retir-
ing. If one is inclined to be
stout the saline cathartlcs are
better. Rochelle salts or Carls--
bad salts, teaspoonful in glass
OF water upon rising, is very
beneficial IN every way.-"Health

NOW That bne season 5 crop

AmericanPresident elected, while
the country, fully recovered from
the financial unpleasantness of
the winter Of 1907-'08, faces
prosperous holiday season aud
promising New year, a National
Corn Exposition will open at On
aha, where ten years ago the
Transmississippi and Interna-
tlonal Exposition was jubilee of
victory at the end of the Spanish
American War,
While sentiment might have
been in a measure responsible
for the worlds fairs and great
exposltlons held in Chicago, Buff
falo, st. Louis, Portland, and
jamestown, there is no sentiment
in the organization of the National
Corn Exposition, the newest of
Western enterprises. 1t will
commemorate no victory, dlscov-
cry, nor great event IN history,
but it doubtless is the formal
opening of new era in the COM
mercial history of America.
The National Corn Exposition
is really the first great national
agricultural show ever held IN
country more dependent on agri-
culture than on anything else.
1t Is a business enterprise.-a
necessity to enable the people o.
the great Mississippi and Mis-
souri, River valleys to show to
the world the wealth in corn and
it's products; in the fields of
wheat and barley; IN the "Great
Plans" long ago weary of grow
ing sagebrush, which have now
become waving seas of alfalfa,
and in the heavy-laden orchards
and vineyards.
Four great movements have
influenced the governors of West
ern States, county and State ag-
ricultural societies, railroads,
and business mel of Omaha, now
one of the largest primary gram
markets of the world, IN launch

They came IN this order:
l. The "short course" IN dairy.
ing and stock judging started at
the agricultural colleges of Wis
consln and Iowa in 1899, and now
developed for other lines and
adopted by almost every State in
the West.
2. The local agricultural exper.
iment stations on the county poor
farms begun by Iowa in 1903 and
since adopted by Illinois, Mime.
sofa, Nebraska, and other States.
3. The "seed-corn special"
trains started IN 1904 by Prof.
p. G. Holden, of the Iowa Agrl-
cultural College. which, during
the seasons of 1904, 1905, and
1906, travelled IL, 200 miles, made
789 stops, and enabled more than
10000 people to hear 1865 lee
lures which pointed out to the
farmers that the seed they were
planting each year should be test
ed, that they were wasting one
third of their time and one third
of their land by planting seed
that did not grow, leaving vacant
places that cost just as much to
cultivate as If they were hlled
with good stalks, each bearing
twelve to fifteen ounce ears of
cora.

msny Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,
