To Remove Blue of Furniture.

Many housewives have been an
noyed by the cloudy, blue-gray look
which so often appears on mahogany
pianos and other pieces of highly pol
ished furniture For removing such
an appearance one woman has very
successfully used a solution composed
of a tablespoonful of vinegar in a
quart of clear water. This applied
with a cheesecIoUh rag, first saturated
and then wrung out as dry as possible.
The furniture is rubbed very lightly
with this and is then polished just as
lightly with a dry piece Of cheese
cloth. If the first application is not
successful it may be tried again in q
week.

but, inasmuch as Mr.. Roosevelt al

things that might happen on that
trip" It is no small matter, this 20
900 miles journey to the widest sec

as pOpulous as it has come to be

associates that are being feared. al

The journey to the east coast Of
Africa will be one of the most wonder

pass through seas and straits which

To Keep Away Bugs.

Make frames u inches square and
four inches deep from any pieces of
board at hand, or get a box from the
grocer and split it up for the purpose.
Set a frame over each hill of cucum-
bers or melons, and cover with a piece
of glass. Amateur photographers who
have spoiled negatives on hand can
clean them in hot water and use them
for this purpose by tacking a couple
of cross sticks over the top of the
frame to serve as rests for the small
glasses. This protects your vines
while the first leaves are forming,
which is the time to lock out for bugs.
The glass. of course. must be removed
to let in air and moisture at the proper
times. By this method one can start
much earlier than usual and be sure
of protection from frost as well as
bugs.

NDoStoU NrlODc.J
| There is now a sort of dual govern
lnent III China, the imperial magis-
trates ruling communities with an iron
hand, and the elders of the villages
setting many local disputes without
consulting the magistrates. OF course
these elders have not any legal author
| ity, yet the people generally consult
them and abide by their decisions rath
er than appeal to the magistrates. The
Chinese appear to have very large
measure of local self government. Their
villages are very old many having ex-
listed for 1000 years. and the elders
who are asked to settle disputes re-
garding family affairs do so with much
success. When one of these elders dies
son, who has travelled eXtensiVely
comes home and assumes his place in
the community. These additions of
educated men to the villages are
strengthening them in the matter of
government Hence, unless the mag
istrates of the place are equally
learned they are likely to be ignored
altogether when certain questions of
local government arise.

WATCH The "ERAIS."

| The president of the school board IL
| Chicago has made find which SHOULD
elucidate the discussion Of frat
! houses among high school students. HI
the Chicago ''frats" with the resul
that he was able to prove what he hae
| suspected. Drinking of liquor among
the boys and an occasional orgy witt
girls of the street had taken place ir
ton they proved to be mighty bad
places and the Chicago beard will
wrestle with the problem of legislating
"frats" out Of existence.
1t is not probable that the practices
discovered in Chicago are typical OF
frat" life for 1t Is very we'll known
that boys of high school age do things
down town in Chicago which would be
wholly unknown to high school boys of
small town, however, the hiring Of a
room in business district or the rent
ing Of a deserted house as a secret
rendezvous for boys, offers constant
temptation. It is as bad as the stealthy
playing Of cards in the hay NOW by
twelve year olds. By far the better
plan would be to permit the boys to
have a frat house on parents lot
amid respectable surroundings, just as
it was far better to let the twelve year
olds play seven up on the dining room
table, than to take chances on poker
in the hay loft.
However, there should be no time
wasted in an argument as to the wis
dom Of permitting high school boys to
rendezvous in secret rooms down town
or vacant houses for devilment Of
which no older person IL to be in
formed. Parents themselves should
have sense enough to stop this even if
school boards fail to act and school
boards should not be afraid to lay
down the law. The "frats" at colleges
and universities are virtually under
regulation by school authorities and
they are maintained by young men
who are in need Of living apartments
While away from home Their primary
purpose is a cooperative dining room
and they have legitimacy which
rooms down town and vacant houses
do not have for boys who are living at
home and attending public school. The
frat" house should be Judged by con-
ditions and handled without gloves.

LET US HAVE HARMONY.

We have had an object lesson in har-
volumes Of information to all who fol-
low the game of politics. In the Sixth
congressional district where demo-
cratic congressman has been elected,
| Mr.. Kendall is seeking to win repub-
iican nomination in such a manner as
to permit him to carry the district at
the general election. He has gone
among the progressive element of his
party with the request that delegations
the interest Of harmony, with the re-
suit that in his own county and PoWe-
shiek, this has been done. In the stand
pat counties of Mahaska and keokuk,
a deaf ear has been turned to his APP
peals, while in Wapello the result was
to cause the progressives to keep quiet
while the standpats jumped in and
controlled.
In Jasper the harmony program was
MUCH more eldOOIdle. hSlS ldShioii|
alism had resulted in two county re-
publican organizations, two committees
and two county chairmer. 1t was
agreed that each chairman should de-
liver his proxy to third person, who
should be county chairman Of both
factions and who should proceed to
select a complete committee, half from
each of the other committees and tina;
the county convention should then Sc
lect a delegation to the state conven-
ton half and half. This was real har-
mony, good sense, but how did i.
work?
The standpats in ColfaN set thei,
caucuses for three o'clock in the aft
ernoon so as to exclude the coal miners
who are progressives. they carry their
precincts and constitute the balance of
power in the county convention. There
harmony is thrown to the winds. The
compromise chairman holding the
proxies and the confidence of both !
sides deliberately names as convention
chairman the standpat factionalist who !,
gave him his proxy and the convention (
proceeds by strength of its majority to
name solid standpat committee in !
