i!IIIIIIllIlnIiIIIIIImnnIIlIIIIIIInEIIIIIII = THE HAT THAT 8 LINCOLN WORE 3 iIIIIIIIIIIIIInIIIIIIIlIIIIihssuIIIIIIIIIIlIIii

IAt the annual reunion of Illinois ans, in Phoenix, on Abraham Lint. coln's birthday, February 12th, 1908, one of the speakers. MT. A. w. Giles, of Chicago. wore the tall silk hat now somewhat dilapidated- Mir. Lincoln wore at his first inaug- ural. It was given by the president to his friend and schoolmate, Doctor Samuel Long, when that gentleman was appointed United States consul to the Sandwich Islands. and is now the property of Dr. Longs daughter, Mrs. Kennedy, of Phoenix.l A tall and courtly gentleman
 Came forward on the stage; Upon his head was poised a hat That bore the mark of age. And then a revereht Interest rose, Where wonder was before; We saw the antiquated tile
 The hat that Lincoin wore. It was the same that Douglas held One picture frames them both That morning when-h his rival took The presidential oath. That oath was kept. With courage
 high
 To every task he came Till the red flower of martyrdom Wreathed his immortal name. Was 1t foolish sentiment
 That this historic gear Should wake a memory that brought The tributes of a tear? Great Soul, For him our fealty
 grows Perhaps we love him more That we have seen, that we have
 touched The hat that Lincoln wore.

Hints for Health.
A Good Stretch.

A Good Stretch.
 How refreshing Is a good stretch! On awaking from sound sleep or after an hours close study our first impulse Is to throw the head back. stretch out the arms above the head and yawn-which is the same thing as taking a deep breath. Now. this Is a perfectly natural desire; 1t is as Nature intended. All animals stretch their limbs on awaking from sleep. and man Is but a higher form of animal If We unnatural human beings were to watch the domestic cat or dog rising from sleep and do likewise we should feel much live Her al more fit for the days toiL
 Cramp fin the Leg.
 To those who suffer from cramp in the leg at night the following hint may be useful: When the eramp cones on take a good strong string-a long garter will do-wind it round the leg over the place that Is cramped and take an end In each hand and give 1t a sharp pull-one that will hurt little. Instantly the cramp will depart and the sufferer can return to bed assured 1t will not come on again that night.
 Value of Disinfectants.
 Of late many countries have been mak- ing official tests as to the value of ger mcldes As a result 1t is declared that the public should be very careful in the selection of a disinfectant. for there are i'm the market many which have no ger micidal action whatever. Professor Hew- lett. as a result of his tests. says that not only is the public defrauded. but there Is also a very grave danger introduced when Q person believed he was using something which would totally destroy germs and was thereby lulled into Il sense of security. when in reality no sense of security was justified. He claims that for many years past sanitary authorities have been living in q fools paradise vainIy imagining that the fluids they have been sprinkling around have been deal ing death and destruction to all germs and bacterial intruders. Ills advice IS that before buying a germicide the public should insist on receiving with 1t a copy

 Sneezfng and Shivering.
 Natures provisions against the conse- quence of ''chilr and the prevention of a summer cold are sneezlng and shiver- ing. A violent fit of sneezing often saves chilled body the consequences of the nerve depression or shock to which It has been subjected. and this shock may in its first impression be very limited in its area For example the small extent covered by a draft of cold air rushing through the crevices Of a door or wiodOw The nerve centers are reused from their collapse by the cOmmOtion or explosive influence of the sneeZe. If sneezing fails Nature will try a shiver. which acts ne chanically. If this fails the effects are likely to be very serious. and bad conse- Quences may ensue. The cold Is slight when sneezIng sufices to recover the nervous system quickly from Its Gcpres- sion, and grave when even strong shlser- ing fails to do so

 The sudden ruin that hot winds sometimes bring to growing crops in parts of the west are well known. Blowing strongly across the unob structed plains, these winds may in few days blast all hope of even a partial harvest. This is partic- ularly in the lower portion of the central plains region, and in years of unusually low rainfall. Here the winds most to be feared blow from the southwest or south. In the northern prairie region the former is exposed to the hot Chinook" wind which sweeps down from the Cana dian mountains. This either dries out growing crops or. if it prevails before the danger of killing frosts is past causes losses through urging vegetation forward prematurely. Gold winter winds also do great injury to crops, make the climate more severe for stock and men, and in terfere with an even covering of snow upon the ground. This is true from Canada almost to the Gulf.
 In southern California dry winds from the north and northeast sweep down from the Mohave desert with destructive results. Coming in June, these winds may reduce the wheat yield of unprotected fields to almost nothing. Windbreaks of eucalyptus and Monterey cypress, now in such common use to protect orange groves and orchards. long ago convinced pos sessors of highly valued irrigated land of the value of tree planting for protection purposes.
 But there are TWO sides to the wind break question. Some prairie farmers declare positively that belts

Potatoes as Food in Germany.

Everybody knows. of course, that po- tatoes are one of the most valuable crops in the worldy yet most of us will be astonished to learn that in Germany 160 acres are planted with potatoes for each 10000 inhabitants, whereas in the United Stateszfhe area so planted is but a fraction over thirty-four acres, and in Great Britain and Ireland thirty-o one acres.
 Not only are the German working people great eaters of potatoes, but they make varied and extensive use of them for other5purposes. Indian corn is not grownraextensively anywhere save in theEEHited States. In Ger many potatoes take it's place as food for cattle This has led to the inven tion of special evaporatIng machinery for the large amount of water in po-

GOVERNMENT MAKING A
 STUDY OF SHtLIERBELTS
Experiments Which wifi Be Under taken in Many. States.

Washington, June 16.-(Special Cr- respondence of the Republican.)- Uncle Sam's tree planting and farm experts have just undertaken a prac- tical and scientific study of the use and effect of timber windbreaks and shelterbelts in the agricultural re- gions of fourteen western states. This is the first time in this country that a study of this much discussed ques ton has been undertaken over a wide region under one plan, for the purpose of collecting data for the benefit of the 'agriculturalists who are developing the western plains. At present windbreaks are planted hap hazard. one kind here, another there If one kind is better than another the government experts think that fact ought to be known, and it is be- lieved that the study undertaken will settle the question once for all. It will at least collect such facts never before brought together.
 The work will be done by the Unit ed States forest service. In some states the agricultural experiment stations will cooperate in the studies, and in these cases the forest service will provide the necessary appara- tus. and the, other expenses will be shared half and half by the govern ment and experiment stations. The investigations will be taken up in five states this year and extended to the other nine as rapidly as the inves- legations are completed. Four of the states in which the study will be Nala, Sl-o rado, Oklahoma and Kansas. The

 Fourthly-Make friends with the rising generation. Nothing. according to my bachelor drives a man so soon to matri- mony as the fact that his intimates have all taken to themselves wives. If he can replace these towards" by other companions he will not have the want of acquaintances turn his thoughts to his recreant contemporaries, tempting him to follow their example.
 Of the wisdom of these precepts l can say nothing more. Let those who are bachelors try them.
 Now for those who are about to marry or are married there are some intensely interesting discoveries made by q Ger man scientist. Dr. Julien vOu Bernauer. who had deducted some useful advice, which I here eondense. The Doctor suggests that the man with a round face is most desirable. although this Is not a sine qua non. The ideal age for mar rlage for man is 25. To woman he leaves a wide range-from 20 to 40 years of age. The doctor inclines to the view that the happiest marriages are con trdcted at the age of about 8 for both parties.

 Some men think no more of getting married than they do of going into their club and ordering a bottle of wine.

Jules Verne's Feat of Travel Reduced
by One-HaIf.
Many of us marked an epoch for our
selves when Jules Verne wrote Round
the World in Eighty Days." says Lon
don Spectator. Perhaps it was not
possible then to go round in eighty
days; the book would have been less
exciting to children if it had been
possible. But at all events it was
nearly possible and many of us mark
ed down the epoch. How many people
could say off-hand to-day, however, to
what those eighty days have been re-
duced? A writer, F. A. Mckenzie, tells
us that the Journey can be done In
forty days and that in comfortable
trains and ships, not by the desperate
expedients of Jules Verne.
We are told that the tickets cost
only about 1925 second-class and $615
nrst-class. The journey is reckoned
in this way: London to Moscow, two
and one-half days; Moscow to Vladf-
vostok, thirteen days; Vladivostok to
Yokohama, two days; Yokohama to
London, via Vancouver, twenty-one
and one-half days; connections, one
day. The Russians understand the art
of comfortable railway travelling; their
carriages and buffets are models.

larger and somewhat irregular circle,
will sweep the wide track for the hip
podrome events" Both the ring
ring and the track will be covered
with layers, carefully adjusted, of
cinders, sand, clay and sawdust, kept
in place by wooden cleats nailed to
