Her Collars Do Not Tear.

One bright woman has solved tina,
problem which vexes every feminine
who pins her linen collar across the
front. The objection to this trim and
highly approved finish is that hand
embroidered collars are not cast-iron
ana pms Will not tear faulty
stretched and starched collar have moi
been invented
Upon removing a new collar and
perceiving it pierced with holes, she
buttonholed these rents into orna-
mental eyelets. Now, she AYERS that
her collar no longer tears, and, more
over. that it is pinned straight with
much less ,vexation of soul than
hitherto. FS

It's Impossible

You ask Why should buy Mapl.Flake? Why
not cook wheat food MYSELF?
Because wheat starch to be digestibe, needs treat
ment that you can't give it.
Our wheat is cooked for SIX hours:
Then it is cured for 80 hours
Then faxed as thin paper
Then toasted 80 minutes at 400 degrees.
That is all done to make the starch soluble; to
separate the particles the digestive juices get
to them.
This is not so important when the stomach is
strong But when the stomach is weak it is of
vital Importance.
The question is this: Will you have food that's
all food, food that will all digest, shall part be
nourshment and part be waste, to ferment and breed
germs in the stomach?
There's the question of convenience, too.
Note the time required to even partly cook wheat.
Mapl-Flake is ready to serve.
Then the question Of favor-how to make the
children prefer the food that is best for them We
cook all wheat in pure maple syrup, mainly for
the chidren's sake.

Renting a Newspaper.

London, May 4.-"Have you any
thing like that in American" the news
dealer demanded, putting his finger
on line on his billhead which read,
Times to lend for hire"
What does that mean?" queried the
American.
why, it means l have some GUS
toners who instead of buying the
London Times of me every morning,
rent it from me. You see, the paper
comes pretty high-threepence a copy
and there's some that wants to read
1t who really can't afford to pay that
price for morning paper. Three
pence, you know, is equal to about G
cents American money"
"And you rent it for how much?"
Three ha'pence-just half the price
the paper sells for"
How long may the renter keep the
paper?"
up to 12 O'Clock noon"
What happens to the paper then ?"
"Oh, | rent 1t to somebody else for
another three or four hours and
charge him a penny. And along to-
ward evening | sell the paper If pos
sible for another penny. But it really
isn't very good business specula-
tion. l only do 1t to oblige custom
er who buy other papers from me.
make my profits on the papers they
buy"
But how is 1t persons are willing
to give you a ha'penny more for the
use Of The Times for a few hours than
they pay for the other morning papers
which they buy outright?"
IT'S because The London Times Is
looked upon as the most reliable pa
per in England. 1t is one of the insti-
tutions Of the country. People set a
store by its opinions, and its stamp on
news item is like the hall mark on
a bit Of jewelry."
And is this practice Of renting The
London Times peculiar to this shop?"
Most all the newsdealers do it. It
really is part of the business"

This Would Seem to be Possible With
This New Beat.
Charles f. Sauttcr. an apothecary
who resides at Bay Ridge. New York,
has invented unique boat, to be pro-
PEELED by an automobile, for the trans
portation of which on water the craft
Is constructed.
So far only working model of the
peculiar craft has been constructed
but Mr. Sautter has erected on his
grounds at Bay Ridge new house,
with tank, in which full sized boat
to accommodate his family runabout
can be floated for experimental pur-
poses.
With boat three times as long and
not more than twice as wide as his
automobile, MIR. Sautter expects to
transport his car on water sitting in
his seat on the automobile and steer
ing and propelling the boat by simply
operating the motor and the steering
lever of the car. The invention CON
sists only of boat with collapsiblc
deck, which for the purpose of taking
the car aboard temporarily becomes a
gangplank with one end resting on a
dock, a river bank or even a sandy
beach. The automobile having been
run on the boat, its rear tires rest on
friction rollers connected by a simple
bevelled gear with the propeller shaft
of the boat AS the wheels rest on the
roller with tneir entire weight and
that of the car they were designed to
support, when they are revolved the
roller will, of course, turn in the OPP
posite direction and revolve the pro
peller. That is what Mr.. Sautter says
will happen, and there seems to be no
prohibition in the laws OF mechanics
OF such a performance. Meanwhile
the front axle spindles of the automo-
bilye have been securely fastened to
the steering gear of the boat In such a
way that changing their direction, as
in steering the car, will also change
the slant Of the rudder Mr. Sautter
and his friends VIII then resume their
seats in the car, will turn in the gang

tion of .Ae deck of the boat, will start

is well and there have been no miscal-
culations. sail serenely away in a boat
carrying the automobile in return for
the motive power contributed as its
share OF ..ie partnership.

is held normally in a position to be
entered from a window of a building
This car slides on uprights, so that
when sufficient weight is placed on
the car it descends, being operated by
counterbalance weights attached on a
sprocket chain. The weights can be
so made as to not only overbalance
the car or balcony, but also the
weight of n man thereon, so that
when the car is in lowered position
a fireman may enter it and when re-
leased it will ascend with its single
passenger. When two or more pas
sengers are on the car it will descend
and after its load has been removed
1t will ascend again. BY the intro
duction of brake mechanism the car
can be arrested at any point.

Senator Stone of Missouri has
been making an earnest effort to or
ganize the Democrats in the Senate
so that they might present an eff
fective resistance to the Aldrich f.
nancial bill but he has been check
mated by the persistent opposition
of Senators Bailey and Teller and
there is every prospect that the
majority will have to contend itself
with offering a few amendments
which might improve the measure,
seeing them voted down by the
Republicans and then permitting
the bill to pass the Senate. Nor is
it likely that any effective opposi-
tian can be presented in the House.
There are doubtless a majority of
the members of the House who arc
opposed to the bill but the Speaker
is for it and he rules the lower
chamber. Mr.. Cannon is himself
banker and a millionaire and he
regards the Aldrich bill as salts
factory If its exponents in the
Republican ranks threaten to show
their independence there will be a
caucus and every Republican will
be whipped into the line under the
scourge of the party whip,
w+*
Speaker Cannon is much worried
these days because of the fact that
lhere are certain magazine writers
who have been sent to Washington
to scrutinize his political record
with a view to ascertaining wheth-
er he is fit man to be elected
President. 1t is whispered about
the Cloakrooms and lobbies of the
Capitol that there are some pages
in the political life of the Speaker
which would not look we'll in print
and some of Mr.. Cannon's closest
friends say that the old and hag-
gard look he has worn recently are
due to the fact that he has been
told that the "muck rakers" are
close on the trail of certain pages
of the Record he would be ex-
tremely sorry to see in print. How
ever, that is all political gossip.
Xxx
Mr.. Cannon has assured the dele
CATION of the National Manufactur.
ers' Association that there will be
no tariff commission created this
year. Of course the Speaker is
the "stand pat" candidate of the
Republicans, but it is regarded as
safe prediction that should either
Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Taft be elected,
the President would call a special
revision early in 1909.
