It VIII De noted that as to some Of the states included in the above tabie the entire vote is not given to Taft. The Taft managers make allowan, ces for split delegations and lack of instructions. But they declare that there will be enough scattering votes and perhaps entire and practically entire delegations which they do not care to name at present to put the Secretary of War far across the line when the first ballot is taken. Nat uralIy the supporters of other candi dates make light of the Taft figures, and declare that the purpose of put ting them out is to create a stampede to the Ohio man. But these deciara- tons do not worry the Taft men. They go back into history and point vu, that Taft's campaign is far ahead of the Mckinley campaign of 1896 at the same stage preceding the national convention. It will be recalled that the Mckinley tidal wave did not show it's full strength until we'll into the spring of 1896, and that the result of the Illinois state convention really was the turning point in the success ful candidates favor in that year
 UT d iOlb llfiic lEe GASnig PtOICCS- ed interests, through their national or ganization, have been combating the Taft movement The organization is now about to make It's fight more sys- tematic if possible It is contended that before Taft's friends can win the fight after the First enthusiasm has subsided and affairs get down to mat ter of fact basis-they must convince the business interests of the country that Taft can be elected T nominated. Apparently a great etfcTt is to be made to to make 1t appear that Taft cannot be elected because of the tar if issue.
 The protectionists-the ultra-stand- patters-have not as yet pushed any particular candidate to tae front At this time their fight is entirely against Taft What they may do later is yet to be developed. The Taft support CTS, it may be said, are getting ready to meet the challenge with respect to Taft's chances for election if nom mated, and some of the Iaoost ardent boomers of the Secretary 5f War aver that they welcome the issue that has been raised by the Protective Tariff League.

DOUGLAS PUBLIC LIBRARY
 PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

DOUGLAS, Jan. 25.-(SpeciaI)-
 The public library has now been open for the distribution of books for twenty-four days. Before that time the 5000 volumes which were donated to the library by the Copper Queen company were being catalogued and listed and before this year there was no library in Douglas where literature might be obtained for home reading, although magazines and periodicals Ifwere on the files at the library for use in the reading room.
 Since the opening of the library on January 1 there has been, a steady growth in patronage until now about one hundred are making use of the privileges offered and about twenty five books a day are taken out by readers. Naturally, fiction predomi- mates here as in other cities, works on other subjects being more general ly used for reference purposes in the library but there is growing class of readers who are utilizing the many splendid scientific and standard works other than fiction.
 Reading Room Popular.
 The reading room is used by an average of twenty people a day so that it can readily be seen that the library is to be the popular feature, and not the reading room, since al ready the patronage given the former exceeds the latter. Still the patron age extended to neither is by any means what it should be. This is probably because the matter is not generally understood although it has been repeatedly explained. Many people seem to think that the library and reading room are intended for the use of only employees of the Copper Queen company, which is far from being the case, since the library is for the use of all Douglasites and visitors in the city.
 Mistaken Ideas.
 Others imagine that there is sub scription fee, which is again a mis- taken idea for the use of the library is open to any property holder of the city or to any one. property hold CT or not, who will get a property holder to guarantee the return of books taken out by him or her.
 In order to still further open the shelves of the library to the general public any one who does not or can not get such a guaranty rom prop erty holder can take books from the library merely by making deposit of a dollar to cover the expense of any book taken should 1t not be returned, and this deposit is refunded to the reader on the return of all books.
 When these facts become generally appreciated and the general public finds what is awaiting it. there is no doubt that the number of readers will multiply rapidly and the number of books on the shelves be largely in creased.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Hreu
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, ii is
now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which affict humanity.
AS now generally understood the word
signifies an affection of the nervous
system, with pain in the course of the
principal nerves.
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment of the Blood
and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and
the treatment of it is not so obscure
as many would be led to suppose, The
first thing is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object is to remove the cause, which
is accomplished by the abundant use
of nourishing food, of a nature to
strengthen and give tone to both tho
muscular and nervous systems.

deep breathing which can be taken by

Then bend the body forward, at the

in a circle in front, one arm moving
inside of the other. Take a long,
deep breath as the arms are started
in the circular motion and make them
describe circles twice before the arms
are dropped at the side of the body
and held perfectly rigid while the
breath is exhaled Twelve double dips
of this kind with IL long breaths will

hands straight out in front on a line
with the shoulders. Raise the bar
over the head, still imagining that it
weighs 60 or 20 pounds. Take
deep breath as the bar is raised, and
as it goes upward slide the hands to-
ward the ends of the bar and then
drop it gently over the shoulders,
with the arms away and reaching as
far back as possible. This exercise

DAIRY NOTES.

All the stock needs salt, even in
the summer time.
Flood your stables with sunlight
and there will be less opportunity for
disease to get in.
Don't neglect to strain the milk
just because it is going to the cream
cry.
Cows must be healthy and clean in
order to produce pure and whole
some milk.
The covered milk pail is quite as
convenient as the open one, and it
keeps out germs and dirt.
Don't keep the milk or cream in
the barn or any other place where it
can take on Objectionable flavors.
Some farmers cut out the morning
milking during the period of scant
production in the winter and this is
an error.
Yes, it pays to feed high-priced
grain to the cows if they will make
milk out of it and not put it on their
backs. That is the whole thing in a
nutshell.
The bull at best is a treacherous
beast. Always keep your eye on him
and be careful not to turn your back,
unless he is tied.
You can treat the good butter
maker about as badly as you know
how as long as you take him good
sweet milk or cream and he will keep
on smiling.

MARMY'S ROMANCE

Poor, poor fellow" said the
young woman, and, to poor, foolish
Marmy's rapture, asked if she might
have the pleasure OF driving him to
her home to luncheon, as she would
like her aunt to meet him and thank
him.
And then Marmy's troubles began.
The groom came running along the
road at this moment. If Marmy had
known what was in store for him at
the Hall, uncomfortable as were his
feelings in the dog cart, he would have
remained in it till the crack of doom!
The meal that followed their arrival
at the young lady's home, was, in
Marmy's own words, "a record breaker
in the anguish line" They had every
single delicacy of the season that was
difficult to eat. There were green
peas SO small and soft that it was abb
sOlutely impossible to place them on
a fork in sufficient quantities to enjoy
them. There was asparagus which,
Marmy says, they ate with slippers.
Long and luxurious as was the meal,
he never had a really hearty mouthful
of anything, and 1t was fortunate that
fright and nervousness had taken his
appetite away. He daren't even take
a sip of wine to cheer him up, he was
SO afraid of it's getting into his head
and making him act foolishly.
Nanny says he drew his first natural
breath when he had assembled to the
front seat of the dog cart and was
driving off beside the groom who had
been thrown out in the morning.
When they arrived at Hayfields.
Nanny directed the groom to drive UP
to the principal hotel, as he thougha
he could stand about in the porch in o
careless manner till the dog cart had
driven off; but he had scarcely de-
scended when the Boots came out to
ask ii he wanted anything, and though
