Peppermint and Tobacco,

If you have boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
to cure Of the habit. feed him pepper
mints. DR.. o. Clayton Jones of Silver
ton, England, writing In the London
Lancet, is authority for this simple
cure. DR.. Jones writes: "To break the
smoking habit in youth there is moth
ing better than peppermint drops. He
cannot smoke with 'bullseye' in his
mouth. and even for some time after
it is dissolved tobacco will not blend
kindly with the taste that remains.
Socially the cure may seem worse than
the disease, but from a medical point
of view the sucking of peppermints is
far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye'
will prevent smoking for nearly an
hour, so the amount of sweets used
need not be great"

NEW YORK, Aug. 49, Hemme
In BY hordes OF persistent mosquitoe,
that have sprung up i'll night, thi,
eity is to-day at its wits end to es
cape this last plague OF its most pes,
tilential summer in many years. Nc
human agency seems OF avail against
these humming pests that fill every
square foot OF space in sun or shadow
the island over. The cloud OF buz-
zing, biting insects envelopes every
living thing from Battery to Bronx
and life in the summer metropolis is
becoming intolerable, On the heels
of the deadliest drought and tiercest
hot spell in 40 years, this latest plague
has is followed by record fly swarms
and the unprecedented ravages OF a
host of white moths. Malaria and
mad dogs are rife, and the burden OF
the scorching, harassing summer has
already fallen heavily on the health
and spirits of all New Workers. Poll
tics are yet to come; and altogether
the summer OF 1908 promises much
TO try the temper.
With bunting being unfurled by the
mile and everyone on edge to do great
honor, the homecoming of the win
ners in the Olympiad promises to-
day to be the greatest celebration OF
the summer here. Each schoolboy
athlete, collegian and sportsman is
working with might and main to make
memorable the reception OF the Am
erican victors. The city authorities
are taking up the plans for official
ceremonies with a rush of enthusiasm,
while business men, bankers, labor
ers, lawyers and leaders in every walk
OF life are enlisting in the welcoming
army. Seldom has Gotham been so
stirred over any event of sporting in
terest as it is to-day, while the twis-
tiers Of the Lions tail are turning
homeward from British soil. From
swift ships, automobile racers, air
ship trials and thoroughbred gallops |
the public interest is turning again |
TO the simple tests of human wind,
hmb, courage and endurance. Alrea-
dy the effect of this revival of track
sports and athletics is showing in the
swelling chests and muscles of an ar
ny OF school boys, and everyone is
ready to hail the change.

The Story as 1t Is Recorded on the
Tombstones.
IN the early part Of the last century
Mere lived in an old New England
SUwn a Mr.. Church, who in the course
H his pilgrimage through this vale of
tears, was bereft of four wives. all of
whom were buried in the same lot. In
Afs old age it became necessary to re.
move the bodies to a new cemetery.
THIS melancholy task the much be-
sn&Ved widower undertook himself
nut In the process the bones of the la.
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding himself on possession
OF New England conscience, Mr.,
Church would not under the painful
circumstances, permit the use of the
original headstones, but procured new
Snes, one Of which bore the following
inscription: Here lies Hannah Church
and probably portion of Emily" An.
0ther: Sacred to the memory of Emf
~ Church, who seems to be mixed
with Matilda" Then followed these
Zines:

A FALSE NOTE ON PENSIONS.

St. Louis Demonstrators
ton is called to the fact that there
is streak of yellow in the pension
plank of the Democratic national plat
form. 1--WE favor generous pension
policy" 1t reads, both as matter OF
justice to the surviving veterans and
their dependents, and because it tends
to relieve the country of the neces-
sity of maintaining a large standing
army" Why mix two entirely diff
ferent subjects in this fashion? The
plank, taken as a whole, Is mean IN
spirit and furtive in motive. Pensions
to veterans have nothing whatever to
do with the size of the regular army.
1t is the duty of the United States to
maintain standing army in keeping
with national duty and dignity Ii
Mr.. Bryan's party wants to d1sband
the regular army. or keep 1t so small
as to be ineffective, this policy should
have had a plank to itself. and not
be tagged on as a hypocritical rider
to a pension plank
The Republican party favors a gen
erous pension policy to veterans and
their dependents as matter Of JUS
tice and gratitude, and this is reason
enough without dragging in other is
sues. During the present administra-
ton a system OF age pensions has
been adopted. The veteran new, II
he is old enough, gets the pension he
so richly merits without going through
mass Of red tape. and the amount Is
increased from time to time as the
weight Of years grows heavier The
pension of all soldiers widows was
recently increased from 50 to $l2 a
month, which means much greater
degree of comfort for these represent
tatiyes of patriotic American woman
hood. There is something essentially
despicable in the mind OF the person
who wrote the pension plank in the
Denver platform. He is no friend OF
pensions, or he would not saddle the
subject with a slash at the army OF
the United States.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

The Des Moines Capital in an edi-
torial few days ago expressed the
same view of the senatorial situation
that was taken by the Courier editor
tally two weeks ago.
The Courier took the position that
Gov. Cummins was the choice of the
majority of Republicans in Iowa for
the senatorial seat That 1t was the
duty of the opponents of the governor
to meet this situation squarely and
drop the internal fight that has waged
in the party for the last few years.
With the party united the plain duty
of the Republicans was to get togeth.
er and work for the success of the Re.
publican ticket from top to bottom
The Capital approves this view of the
situation when it says:
Let us stop all quarrels. Let us
support every man chosen at the lie,
gal Republican primary, and drop all
discussion Of the senatorship.
GAS we have before remarked, Gov.
ernor Cummins has nothing to fear
from the new legislature A majority
of the politicians believe that if the
Republican nominees for the legisla
ture now in the field should all be cho
sen Gov. Cunmins would be nominal
ed and elected senator.
