No Hunters to Accompany the President

used in Washington from the govern
ment service and the monthly check
for s4,16666 % will be going to some
other man. 1t will be incumbent upon
him to mind his pennies, else, instead
of trip of profit, it will develop into
one of expense.
President Roosevelt does not yet
know the scientists that are to accom-
pany him. All he knows is that he in
tends presenting specimens of African
animals to the National museum, and
that he has asked that institution to
send along two men. one to preserve
the specimens and the other to make
notes that will be of benefit to natural
history.
No definite itinerary has been yet
arranged. The president will go
where he can find the game, and if he
fails TO find it one place he will go to
another. and when he has found it he
will camp there. The details of the
trip will not be arranged. therefore,

States. The caravan will be mustered

Reports that the president has ac-
cepted an invitation from this or that
official or dignitary are also premature.

tations and his plans at present Will

many of the embassies will follow
suit.
Washington is a great gathering
place for conventions, especially in the
autumn. and this year the season
opened with the tuberculosis con-
gress. which brought together distin-
guished men from all parts of the
world. many of them with their wives
and other feminine kin. This made
necessary a reception or two and many
luncheons and dinners. and these
started the ball rolling. Although the
ball may slow up when the delegates
depart for their English, French, Ger
man, or other homes, it will be kept
going on the way toward the new year
and new administration.
Meantime. there will be the official
opening of the White House. with re-
ception for congress and the introduc-
ton of Miss Ethel Roosevelt into So
ciety. Miss Roosevelt is planning to
have stream of young house guests
and all the cousins will take turns
at joining in the entertainments. Of
fetal and otherwise. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth will chaperon her sister on
most occasions, relieved by her uncle.

the same genial Office for Mrs. Long

Alcohol and Water Bath.

In case of exhaustion alcohol added
to the bath is great invigorator The
most economical way of using it is 70
have basin of rinsing water, and into
this put tablespoonful of the spirits
to a quart Of cool water. The body is
well sponged in this, letting the water
go over freely. After such a bath
fresh underclothes must be put on if
one is dressing again.
No part of the body feels heat more
than the head, and to prevent the hair
from being injured the scalp must be
given as much ventilation as may be
throughout the night No matter how
thin the hair may be, it should be d.
vided by a part from forehead to neck
and two braids made, each just back
of each ear. This draws the hair away
from that part of the head that is most
heated during the day and refreshes 1t.

CANDY FOR THE CHILDREN.
Eaten After Meal Time, 1t Is Not Con
sidered Injurious.

While opinions differ as to whether
or not a child should be allowed to
eat candy, every one agrees that the
time that the candy should be eaten
if it is eaten at all, is after meal time.
The majority of doctors agree, how.
ever, that a little candy now and then
after dinner will not hurt child.
Molasses candy, peppermint or two,
will not harm a child if eaten in mod

us, and a child cannot be blamed for
wanting the candy which he has been

among a dozen modes, each of which
is equally trying to the needle of the
inexperienced home sewer.
The directoire influence. however. Is
making itself felt. and this in combina-
ton with certain classic or Greek
lines that are hard to attain. Unques-
tionably the straight lines prevail,
everything has a slimpsy. sleazy look
that unless carefully and artistically
attained is absolutely dowdy, and all
styles are calculated to strike terror
to the heart Of the stout woman.
Plain supple silks and satins are
offered for costumes to be worn for
calling. A new corded silk called
cotele bengaline, not unlike an otto
man weave, is very popular for coat
suits, the long. shapeless d.rectoire
or Louis coats.
Chiffon mOusseline. marquisette
and new cashmere silks. the latter

great demand. Some bordered goods
are still shown. but in different de-
signs from those offered this sum-

so woven as to simulate manipulating.
Practically no suitings are shown
except for what are known as strictly
tailored costumes. Everything for
house wear and calling, receptions.
etc. is either in silk or with so much
silk combined with the wool that the
latter is invisible.
A marked feature Of the fall open

modistes are doing their best to force

FOUNTAIN COMB FOR HAIR.
Automatically Sprays Scalp AZ the
Tresses Are Being Fixed.

Every one knows a hair tonic is
necessary to keep the scalp in good
condition, but every one also knows
that it is a wearisome task to rub
it in.
One does not always have the
money to pay a specialist. and one is
always too tired to do it at home.
In the morning there is too much
to do to take the time to massage
the scalp, and at night one needs
sleep more than a tonic. So 1t goes.
Knowing human nature, some one
has manufactured a patent fountain
comb. 1t is hollow, and when pressed
by a rubber bulb and run through the
hair the teeth spray the fluid directly
on the scal...
All one has to do is to comb out

POLITICAL vAGARIES.

Il Z. y
One of the sharpest. and most in
teresting, features Of politics, in AS
toria, as well as every other place
where they operate, are the vagaries,
the re.adjustments, the strange align
ments, that are noted, and compared,
each recurring season. This IS an
exaggerated way Of repeating the old
adage Politics makes strange bed
fellows" but we desire to emphasize
the peculiarities incident to local
campaigns, and make the wider state.
ment for that reason.
The political enemies Of last year
are sworn friends this year, and the
tiles that bound men irreyocably in
political action year before last are
dissolved and forgotten and the
newer bases prevail with the newer
champions, this year. Every man
who is wise to the infinite changes in
men, measures and line-ups, smiles
covertly at the remarkable adapt
ability of the leaders in this hodge
podge of incongruities and once-as-
sumed impossibilities. The humor Of
it all saves it from being taken
gravely or made much Of; and the
laugh that is given it makes it easier
to assimilate.
We can see from our Office window,
day by day, the preliminaries for
lot of new local amalgamations that
twelve months ago would have been.
simply impossible Of conception and
which would have raised bedlam had
they been but suggested. Men are
hand in hand today that were fist to
fist few months ago; and the good
humored pursuit Of the motives that
stand for the radical-shifting is about
the simplest task we have. The real
politician always stays in the back
ground and his purpose is hidden be-
hind his own togue; but the spon-
taneous feather-weight, the moment
ary champion Of some momentary
scheme, is abroad day and night, with
his wit on hislip and his plan on his
sleeve, his ends known Of all men,

is that Governor Hughes places him
