CANDLES FOR TIRED EYES.

When the excessive light of the gas
Jet or the electric bulb tires weak eyes,
resort to the good old tallow candle
In sick rooms, where a candle would
do the best service during the night,
il is entirely forgotten, and the tired
eyes of the invalid are forced to endure
a light that perhaps Is constantly
working injury and adding nervous
ness to the other malady.
Candles could also easily be used to
economize ON the gas bill.
Furnishing a holder with one for
each bedroom can be done at small
cost with good result.
Shades might also be bought for
them at a small cost and give them
even a neater appearance and save
them from Pickering in airy rooms.
For the sick room wax candles are
preferred, ais they never produce smoke
or smell.
They seem to soothe the nerves of
the invalid, and in this way help TO
produce a restful night.

WASHING CUT CLASS

Dust cut glass with a small paint
brush having long, pliable bristles; this
Is far better than a cloth. To vash
cut glass use a little borax dissolved
In luke warm water. This will restore
the riiiiancy which has been dimmed
by washing In commo dish water
This treatment Is just as good for
pressed glass and some OF the better
grades OF pressed glass when well
cared for look better than ~neglected
"a glass. Remember that a sudden
mango OF temperature must be avoid

"The Gray Walls of the Garden.-

"The Gray Walls of the Garden
The gray walls of the garden
Hold many and many a bloom:
A flame of red against the gray
Is lightning In the gloom
The gray walls of the garden
Hold grassy walks between
Bright beds of yellow blossoms.
Golden against the green.
And in the roof of the arbor
Leaves woven through and through
Great grape leaves, making shadows
Shine green against the blue.
And, o. in the August weather
What wonders new are seen,
Long beds OF azure blossoms
Are blue against the green.
The gray walls of the garden
Hold paths of pure delight
And, in the emerald. blooms of pearl
Are white against the night.

MEAT SUGGESTIONS
WORTH REMEMBERING.
Lenox Chicken or Veal.

Dissolve a t~easpoonful of gelatine in
three-fourths of a cup OF hot chicken
or veal stock. When his begins to
thicken, beat until frothy n add
three-fourths cup of heavy cream beat
en- until stiff. and one and a half cups
Of cold chicken or veal cut into dice;
season with salt and pepper, turn in
to individual Inolds, and serve. A slice
of lemon put into the bottom on each
mold makes a pretty dish for a lunch
con-.
When Stufing a Fowl.
When stuffing a fowl stick tooth-
picks through both sides of the open
ing. near the edge, and the dressing
can be laced in in much less time than
it can be sewed, and it can also be
much more easily served at the table.
A Spanish Roast.
Take two pounds of round steak and
one pound Of pork shoulder; have
ground together; then take II egg,
one cup of cracker crumbs, season, mt
mix all together in form of a loaf Then
take one can of tomatoes and pour
over the top and season. Put in the
oven and bake until the juice of to-
matoes is nearly all gone; take the re-
mainder and make gravy. 1t is fine
served hot and is good sliced cold for
luncheon.
To Test Deep Fat for Frying.
When the fat gets real hot, throw
into ii an inch square of bread and
county 40. If at the end of this count
the bread is a golden brown it is
ready for frying.

TO THE WAGE GARNER

Every man who has to earn his
bread by daily toll should be student
of the tariff question The theory of
free trade between all nations is a
very Christian-like sentiment, and
that is about the extent of good that
can be said Of it. Every time it has
been applied in this country it has
put practically all the American wage
earners out of job.
Mr.. Bryan says he favors tariff,
but wants it to be tariff for revenue
only. If Mr.. Bryan thinks there is
any adherence in the practical effect
OF free trade and a tariff for revenue
only, then ne is ignorant of the prin-
ciples Of tariff
AT present there is a duty of % per
cent on the kind of buttons that we
are making at Muscatine and other
Mississippi river cities. That tariff
now protects the Iowa manufacturers
from foreign competition and has en-
abled men to build large factories and
employ hundreds Of people If the
duty on that class of buttons is re-
duced' to figure that will
allow other countries to bring them
here and sell them, that figure must
be low enough to insure the buttons
being imported, and it must bring in
great numbers of them or the revenue
would amount to nothing If enough
OF them are imported to bring in much
revenue, then they will supply the
market, and our home factories will
have to shut down or reduce wages
to correspond with the wages of the
poorly paid laborers who make these
buttons in the foreign countries.
There is vast difference to the
workingman of the United States IN
the effect of a tariff for revenue only
and a protective tariff. The tariff for
revenue only gives employment 70
the laborers of Europe and protec-
tive tariff gives emp oyment to the
working men and a home market to
the farmers of the United States.

JUDGE TAEI,S NISlT.

The enthusiasm shown for Judge
Taft in his trip through Iowa yester-
day, the genuineness of which may be
judged by the hearty greeting given
him in Ottumwa, is conclusive proof
that this is Republican year in the
sixth district and in Iowa. At every
stopping point there were thousands
waiting to see the presidential candi-
date, and when the train pulled out
these thousands were his friends The
winning qualities Of Judge Taft, which
Raymond Patterson, the political writ
er, describes as the magnetic hon
esty Of the man" made a deep impress
sion on Ottumwa as the candidate ex-
changed hearty hand clasps with his
admirers at the court house and at
the train as it pulled out
Taft's visit through Iowa. though
his voice had failed and he made a
campaign of hand shaking rather than
one of oratory, will add thousands to
the majority for the national ticket
and state tickets, and it will go far
in aiding to pile up big majorities for
the congressional and county tickets.

Ohio, probably is the way he would
designate himself. That designation,
however, is grossy inadequate For
while Mr.. Taft is an American of
Americans, he is also citizen OF the
world, who, as invited guest. coun-
sellor and advisor of foreign govern
ments, has eXerted an influence for
peace and international good will I'M
surpassed by that Of any other Amer
lean statesman, living or dead.
The dignity of private citizenship,
which he enjoys today, is in perfect
accord with his temperament and in
clination. There never has been, nor
will there ever be, anything in fficial
honor sufficiently alluring to draw
Mr.. Taft away from his lifelong iden-
tity with the plain people.
AS boy in Cincinnati he was
ready to give and take in all the stir
ring controversies, mental and phys
ical which give effect to the law of
the survival of the fittest AS stu
dent at Yale he displayed all the
qualities of wholesome young man
hood which have made that university
famous, and the endearing traits of
his character were honored at the

summer by celebration more delight
full to him, perhaps, than any other
demonstration of public favor possibly
could be.-EXchange.

Twice in the early stages of the de-
Velopment of the republic the voters
were faced with the third term propo-
sition. In 1886, third term was urg-

In 1908 third term was suggested
for Thomas Jefferson and In all human
probability he could have landed the

FLAWS IN RRYAN's BANK PLAN.

A telling argument against Bryan's
proposal to provide government
guarantee for bank deposits is made
by the bankers of Connecticut The
Hartford, Conn, Times secured ex-
pressions of opinions from the ex-
ecutive heads of fifty national banks,
savings banks, state banks and trust
companies, representing both political
parties and all sections of the state,
and in the whole symposium not a
single voice is lifted in behalf of
the scheme 10 guarantee deposits
Summarizing the results of the in
quiry for expressions from the bank
ers the Times says:
Except for one bank president who
reports that he has not studied the
subject sufficiently to be prepared to
commit himself absolutely, every
banker is aggressive and outspoken
in condemnation of the proposal The
contributors consider the scheme I'M
just, dangerous. mischievous and
vicious. They argue that the pro-
jcct would stimulate reckless and
careless banking and would tend to
lower the standards of efficiency and
Integrity which now obtain in the
management of banks Some Of them
point out that at first blush the prop
osition is specifically attractive but
that as soon as it Is studied it is
found to be fatally defective.
The Times quotes the bankers
views of the Bryan guaranty plan as
follows:
President H. L. Bunce of the United
States Bank of Hartford says that the
proposal is an effort Ito establish
wildcat banking, and would put a
premium on the taking Of excessive
loans by weak banks at the expense
of others more conservatively man
aged. President Meigs H. Whaples of
the Connecticut Trust & Sage Deposit
company of this city suggests that eff
banks shall be required TO guaran-
tee each other, why not insurance
companies to guarantee each other,
and, in fact, every other line of cor
porate business?" President P. Henry
Woodward of the Dime Savings bank
OF Hartford, says in the course of his
letter: "On the assumption that all
bankers are honest the plan throws
upon capacity and foresight the
burden of paying for the mistakes of
the relatively incompetent. In cases
of fraud the upright are taxed to save
the credulous from the folly of put
ting their confidence in rascals. If
the government steps in TO protect
the public against the consequences of
acts that turn out unfortunately,
where will the policy end? Creditors
