A Sure Remedy,

A young man who experienced much
trouble in managing head Of hair
which manifested an unpleasant incli-
nation to stand on end, wrote to
weekly paper for plan by which his
troubles would be at least lessensd.
He was given the following recipe:
"On' part molasses. three parts bees
wax, four parts India rubber. four
parts glue, IL raw eggs: boil on slow
fire for two hours and 10 minutes. and
while cooling stir in enough cod liver
oil to make it slab and good. Apply
hot, and while gradually cooling pass a
lawn mower back and forth over tho
head. "

Enyious of Talt'S Record.

Have you wondered why Mr.. Bryan
should show instant and keen resent
ment when the president, the other day
praised Mr.. Taft and predicted that he
would make great president?
If so, did it occur to you that Mr.
Bryan was envious of Mr.. Taft's rec
ord and jealous of Mr. Roos welt S
championship of the Taft cause?
Well think for a minute what an in
calculsble advantage it would be to MIR.
Bryan If along with his personal popu-
larity and his plausible campaigning he
had such record as that of Mr.. Taft
10 back him upl
Consider what Mr.. Taft has done as
judge of high court, as head of a war
department, as governor general Of the
Philippines, as special diplomat to Rome
as an emissary to China and Japan, as
an adjuster of the difficulties that arose
in the construction Of the Panama ca
nal! No man, outside Of the presidency
itself, could hope to give better dem
onstration of presiddntigl capacity than
Mr.. Taft has given.
The people have almost invariably e.
lected their presidents on recards OF
performance. not on promises Of per-
formanccs. Look over the list and you
will see hat this is so.
Mr. Bryan has no such record to show
the people. No one. neither a poten'
tial person Ike President Roosevelt nor
an humble admircr, can dwell with
prids on what MIR. Bryan has done for
his country. and, on the basis Of what
he has done, predict that he would make
a great president.
But the people can speculate, and do
7peculatc, as to the kind Of president
he would have made il he had been G.
lccted in the past,
II will be impossible to put ont Of the
public mind what MIR. Bryan might have
done II he had been elected in 1896, or
in 1900. or what he might do in the fu-
turc II elected to the presidency m 1908
Mr. Taft must be judged very largely
by what he has done
MIR. Bryan must be judged very
largely by what he would have done If

10 the farmers how the interests Of this
industry was to be protected by the

platform that the party has ever given

EXPERIMENTING FLIES.

There are more than 40 900 des-
cribed species of flies. There are
more individuals of these species
than of any other group of insects,
They and their progenitors have
pestered the inhabitants of the
earth for ages. But there is one
place where they might as well give
up their fight for existence. The SOW
erign state OF Massachusetts has
vowed their destruction. That an
nouncement might not be counted
so significant were it not for the fact
that in a number of other places in
the world. notably in England, there
are like movements against them as
nuisances and disease carriers. The
Boston dispatches tell of the plans
of the State Board of Health. There
is an appropriation of 500, 600 as
starter. Skilled scientists will help.
They will devote their entire time
to the work of determination. 1t is

makes any Roadway, other states
will follow the lead. The surprising
results from the energetic campaign
aga 'nst mosquitoes made in some

The possibilities of a fight of this
sort. People have endured the flies

THE VALUE OF A SMILE.

On the door leading into the pri-
vate Office Of the treasurer of one
of the Hartford banking institutions
may be seen by all corners plain
white card, on which are these two
words: Keep Smiling"
Ask the treasurer the significance
of the placard and he will say sim
ply: Just keep smiling. That makes
everything easy. That's what smiles
are for. A good. unfeigned, sincere
smile Is veritable battering-ram to
knock hard things out of the way,
Somrtimes | smile out loud, all to
myself, when | run against sAN-
thing hard; and the invitation is Out
to whoever enters my door. l take it
that people will smile as they read
the card, and l want them to con-
tin the act while in here!"

were hanged, and 1t is said to be
the work of a photographer in Sa-

inspectors have notified tho author
tiles at Sabine and other points that
the postal card will not be permit

The first four lines of the dogger-
