Strong Support for Wesley.
Those familiar with the Scandinavian
character declare that having aided in the
nomination of Mr.. Vessey they will feel
in honor bound to support him at the polls.
It IL safe to predict that If Mr.. Wesley
succeeds In securing so per cent of the
Scandinavian vote in South Dakota he will
be elected governor. That he will secure
even a larger percentage is the confident
belief OF republicans who are In close touch
with political affairs in the state.
The vast majority OF stslwert and pro-
gressive republicans are giving the ticket
loyal support. The stalwarts have always
prided themselves on their republicanism,
and in this campaign will first of all re-
member that they are republicans who are
able to give and receive blows in prelim-
Ninary struggles between republican factions,
but who, Notwithstanding the outcome of
these preliminary fights, still are repub-
licans above everything else and at the
election will line up for their party ticket.
They realize that the primaries have
taken the place of party conventions and
that 1t is the duty of all members of a
party W Dlu ny tlC ANSuiN VI Viz PAahh -
as only by doing this can party organiza-
lions be maintained. II is significant of
the harmony now existing among South
Dakota republicans when facing the com
mon enemy-the democratic p~arty-that OF
the more than 100 newspapers which during
the campaign eliminating in the June pri-
maries supported the cause of the stalwart
republicans. only three or four are luke
warm toward the ticket nominated in June,
the remainder having been boosting for the
entire republican ticket during the present
campaign.
FactiOnRIism Not Apparent.
Stalwart and .insurgent republicans are
campaigning together throughout the state,
speakers from both factions doing their ut
most for the cause OF republicanism and to
bring about the defeat of the democratic
party at the election next Tuesday.
The republicans confidently expect to elect
more than 100 Of the 149 members OF the
next legislature. The republican vote on
Joint ballot may reach as high as 125, with
only seventy-five votes necessary to elect
Governor Coe I. Crawford, the republican
nominee, as the next United States senator
from South Dakota.

MAKING A COMFORTABLE
NIGHT RAILROAD TRIP

Preparations for nights journey
differ much from those for days trip,
because the same articles are not re-
quired Hence the selection for the for
mer must include comfort, and to secure
this one must have personal experience
or suggestions from some traveller.
For example, a hand mirror, a neces
sity at home. can be dispensed with fol
one night. but 1 would not advise wom-
an who contemplates making a lone
journey to be without one. Back hair
has too facile a way of getting badly
tumbled, and if it is not put in proper or
der the whole effect of smartness of cos
tune may be lost. Therefore, though fol-
one night it may be given UP, for two II
should be considered d necessity.
A long dressing gown-a thin one In
summer and a warm one in winter-is
better than night robe for sleeping. Ii
is 4 mistake not to removr all the cloth
ing when going to bed, but at the same
time one should be in condition to go to
the dressing room if necessary. SO a
wrapper fills the bill completely and Is
incidentally, comfortable.
If wash blouse Is worn fresh collar
for the morning is essential. Beyond this
no extra clothing is required.
Toilet articles resolve themselves into
box of cold cream: also, either some
toilet water or saturated solution or
boraX The water to be found In sleep
ing car toilet rooms is not only lacking
in qualities for cleansing. but the basins
are so abused by careless travellers
that a very neat woman will not care to
use them So with her own cleansing
agents she is independent. A box of
toilet powder, nail brush and soap,
and a brush and comb. with tooth brush,
complete this outfit. She must carry her
own soap. There Is no greater danger of
contracting skin trouble than by using
soap thu has been applied by others.
For my own use. pair of big soft
gloves is necessary TO travelling comfort
and cleanliness. These l wear through
the night, because the CRIME and dingi-
ness that is rubbed into the hands
through long hours of travel and from
contact with the berth blankets Is such
that it often takes time to get them white
again.

FOR HAIR
EVERY NIGHT OF WEEK
Vigorous Brushing, Careful Combing and Massage
Are Part of Necessary Daily Routine.

II is impossible for girl to have pretty
hair and she cannot possess luxuriant
tresses, when an old woman, unless
she brushes and combs her hair before
going to bed To remove the pins and
hang, is as injurious as 1t is to materials
to lay them away without smoothing.
Both must be made ready to rest if they
are not to wear out quickly.
1t does not take more than five minutes
to treat the scalp in such a way as to
stimulate 1t. OF course, If one has the
time and energy to go in for massage, so
much the better, but this Is by no means
necessary when the hair is in a normally
healthy condition. When it is not. the
improved circulation that will result from
rubbing is so beneficial in effect that eff
fort should be made to accomplish it.
Scalp massage consists merely in plac-
ing the fingers firmly on the scalp and
bending the joints so that the scalp is
felt to move over the skull. To let the
fingers slide over the surface is only to
tangle the hair and not to effect the cir
culation. From time to time the fingers
are raised and placed Oh new spot until
each part of the head has been treated
in this manner. When property done 1t
scarcely disarranges the hair and does
not make a snarl.
Correct Treatment.
Should this rubbing be done in con-
nection with brushing and combing, the
head is given the best treatment that
it can receive.
Brushing is an art that consists in
reaching to the scalp and going over
every portion of the hair, without pulling
or breaking. That there are a few hairs
among the bristles when the treatment
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-12-11

is over should cause no anxiety, for
there are always some in the scalp that
are ready to fall and come out with the
least pressure. 1t is only when the brush
is full of long ones, showing that they
are coming out disproportionately, that
any scalp weakness is indicated.
1t is mistake to try brushing all the
hair at once, for it should be divided into
halves at the least. and preferably into
quarters. or what is better still, into
many small sections. The object of this
is that all portions shall be evenly covered
by the brush. and that snalrs shall be re-
moved without pulling. A brush with
long bristles, bristles rather far apart
than close together, is better than a
short thick one. A coarse comb is al
ways to be preferred to one with fine
teeth, for the former will do its work
with less likelihood of breaking the hair.
To Remove Snarls From Hair
1t is possible to remove the most serious
tangle without pulling tearing the
tresses, but this is an art that consists
in always keeping the comb just below
the knot or In the very lower edge OF
it, making the teeth work it out, instead
Of drawing it out by force of wrist action.
When the work is constantly at the base
of the snarl the hairs become olsen
tangled by degrees, falling into their own
line. If effort is made to undo the knot
by pulling at it from above the hair Is
inevitably broken.
For the regular evening treatment there
should be a least twenty good. long
strokes at the brush after all Snarls have
been removed. The stroking should be
even and firm as can be without causing
pain. Such brushing as this keeps the
hair glossy and pliab making it far
easier to twist into becoming coiffures
For the final work a loose braid should
be made. 1t is not we'll to twist the hair
and min il however lightly. for the scalp
should be relieved of any weight through
the night.

Preparations for Retiring.

Before retiring to ones berth it is nee
essary to brush the teeth. and this should
be done before removing any garments.

conspicuous to retire to the dressing

is ready for the berth. When disrObing

how to travel, and even then. if one sits

THE CHARTER OAK.

The charter oak Of Hartford was Il

James. duke of York. ascended the
throne of England and sent Andres to
take away all colonial charters Con
nccticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andres was furious over this
defiance, and Oct 81, lGST, he returned
to the assembly hall of Hartford with
a body of soldiers and demanded in
stant surrender of the charter, which
lay in a box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andros
stretched out his hand to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly cXtinguishcd, and the
